KV's are the worst tank to try and fight with it. You can go on a KV's side and just pen shot after pen shot for zero damage. They don't even bother to turn... They just lol, stomp your head in.

It gets alot of tier 6 battles and it's a joke then. Everyone got more then enough pen to punch through you even on an angle and they do alot more damage then you.

IV gun vs VI gun.

Tank is ment to be used with gold rounds. 32g on ave to kill a KV line of tank. Very expensive even with that discounted price.

If it just fought tier 5's and didn't have games flooded with KV's then it would be alot more fun.

I played my T14 for the first time yesterday and i love it.

In the second match i got 8900xp (with the 5x) and 47k credits. On the fifth match i got 2k xp and 55k credits. Running premium btw.

It's a solid tank for the favorable MM it gets.

it has the accuracy of a battleship cannon.

actually the accuracy of a battleship cannon is legendary.  Take out a whole grid square with pinpoint accuracy.  Fighting a moving target on the high seas is extremely difficult becasue both vessels are moving andwith the  seas you pitch around.....unlike tank warfare when most of the time either you  or your target is staionary while shooting

I'd say the T-14 is better than the churchill due to one thing. The T-14's 75mm can fire HE rounds, which means you can fight the occasional T6 or T7 tank unlike the churchill.

It has more advantage than just one; the T-14 armor is much more reliable than the Churchill's one (you can pen the Church anywhere but the lower front plate with a 90+ penetration gun). Plus the T-14 is more mobile and a much smaller target. It's not rare that a T-14 gets a steel wall.

Got Steel Wall just last night in my T14... Erlenberg match... 4th tank from the top of the list on my team... yeah I took damage but still, that thing took a beating and kept right on going...

No complaints from me for a tank that I just bought for $7.99... used the 1,000 gold to 100% the crew as well... she does what she's meant to do IMO...

I enjoy the T14 a lot
the Churchill can not long range
T14 has bouncy Armour
700+ hp engine
plays like a heavy med tank
mm is very nice to it

I got two Steel Walls in the first five 5 matches with mine.

statistically, T14 was one of the worst tank. I bought mine a month ago when it's MM was adjusted to tier 6 max.

58 games later, 70% win rate, and i started with 75% crews.

T14 are basicly up armored M4 Sherman, It use the stock sherman gun.

try playing it like Medium tank, as It have some decent speed.

[Misoski]

Yeah it does feel horrible to play due to low penetration and big kickback.
But somehow in between there are battles it just does great. (exp and credit wise)

Churchill got the same feel, but it feels somehow on average more fun. Maybe due to getting lots of exp in it, despite doing little... And now also better matchmaking.

[Vonholtz]

It a fun tank not the greatest tank but for the fun I have had with it last few day worth the $7.99 I payed for it. My first 7.3 battle I went toe to toe with a KV-1 and could not punch the back armor with the gun with any thing short of ever 3 rounds till I hit the switch and pop him with HE. was a great battle got like 4 kills and invader.

[MorbidGamer]

I just bought a Churchill and it's alot better then the t14. Infact on my 2nd game with it got Ace Tanker.

buy 5 more T-14's then use the gold to buy a Lowe - with 5 garage slots on the side - a significant savings

more instruction: sell T-14 before you applies the next t-14 code, or you just get 1k gold

Attention!
If the receiver of the gift already owns the tank included in the gift, the tank is not transferred to the receiver's account. However, the player can receive the tank's full value in gold (compensated automatically).

Directly from the giftshop page.  I purchased this month's premium with a T14 package.

I think the tank is, would be a great buy right now they seem to hold their own in most battles.

[Jager_Panther1]

I've bought one for $7.99 hoping for a fun little tank. Turns out this tank is the little useless piece of crap. It's easily killed by other tier 5's and the gun is horrendous. I've never shot from something more terrible. It can't penetrate ANYTHING and it has the accuracy of a battleship cannon. This tank is simply a waste of gold. Absolutely ridiculous piece of crap. It takes tier 5 spot for the team and when one team has a couple of those little tincans while other gets a couple of KV-1's it's going to be a wipe-out.

Give me gold back and take away every single credit and XP earned with this crap and I promise I'll add whatever is necessary and buy Type-59 or something. Just seeing this junk in my garage makes me wanna puke...

My T-14 has a 52% win rate. I'm pretty sure it's not the tank that's the problem. PEBKAC.

If you're having that much trouble with the T-14, you're playing the game wrong.  Period.  The T-14 is a really nice tank, but what made it and the Churchill a steaming pile of turds was the stupid MM it got.  In tier 5 and 6 battles, the tanks do really well, not as well as a "normal" tier 5, but very respectable.  I have pretty decent stats in the T-14.  Maybe you just need more games under your belt.  No premium tank makes the game "easy" mode, so if that's what you were expecting, you've been reading the forums too much.

I just bought the t14 recently and its a pretty fun tank. I crew it with my t110 crew to train them up and it works fine. that tank can bounce alot of shells. gun is ok not the best. rof is great when using a rammer. sure u gonna have trouble when you are going against churchill or kv but all in all you are almost always in a t5 fight and able to contribute.

i bought several days ago, i also train my t110 crew in it. i love that tank!! dont fire in sniper mode so much coz the tank shakes too much when taking fire and giving it!!
get out there and give it LARGE boiiiiii...
