new m103, an outsider's view

My last game with it I had 4 kills..KV-3, T-59, Lowe, E-100.  Using the first 120mm I put 2 rounds through the front of the E-100s turret and 1 through the side.

Play them like you play mediums, and hope there is a Russian or German heavy there to lead the charge.  Im looking forward to when I get one since I did the medium line first.

The M103 reminds me of a tier 9 Tiger tank -- accurate/high penetration/good RoF/low Alpha gun with weak armor. This brings with it the same problem the Tiger has when it is top tank in a match -- if you sit back and snipe/avoid brawling you leave the lower tier tanks on your team at the mercy of the heavy/brawler tanks on the enemy team, so you end up having to brawl on a tank that has fairly easy to pen armor even for a tier 6 vehicle. Gun depression isn't great either.

You can see how it is doing here:

It's not doing very well, but possibly it is because people haven't figured out how to play it yet. Personally, I don't think it is going to go up much at all simply because like the Tiger the gun is not enough to offset the poor armor.

I had 400+ games in T34 before 7.2, it was a fun tank for me.
However, m103 is easy mode by comparison.  The only aspects of the tank that are not as good as the (old)T34 is the turret armor and gun depression.  M103 is better in every other way.
