t54 upgrades

canucky's Photo canucky Mar 26 2012

I am about 9k xp from unlocking the t-54 and I have 30k free xp to use.  My question is what order should I unlock things in.  Should I get the tracks off the bat then work on turret, gun then engine?  I unlocked the LB-1 on the t-44 which is a decent enough gun, I'm sure it will be far more annoying on a T9 tank though.  

Any suggestions would help a lot, thanks!

I almost always get tracks first. It helps you with speed and traverse and your load capacity. This latter is the real driver of when to get them first or not. If you won't have the load capacity to use that new turret or new gun, then you must get tracks first. Otherwise it is up to personal preference I would say.

Most people like to grab the best gun as soon as possible, as better gun = more damage = more experience per battle.

That works with heavies which are slow and don't have to use speed to stay alive and excel in their type of combat. Mediums rely on speed and flanking.

Only problem with this is that even the LB-1 can't penetrate tier IX tanks in the SIDE and sometimes REAR (unless you take time to aim) and if you stop to aim, you will get wrecked. The 54's maneuverability i found was rather good stock (not great, but not horrible) so i went straight for the D-54. In getting the upgraded turret too your HP pool increases a little, so you can take a bit more heat before you bug out.

You sure? I still have the LB-1 and have zero problem with it. O_o

Maybe it's better now, i dunno. I got the 54 in the first month after release, and have had it elite for nearly a year so they may have made a few changes.
