Eek, T7 Frenchie TD not so awesome. Thing is way bigger than I thought. Have to use the 90 mm, otherwise I feel like I am in the Indien Panzer with the douche bag aim time. The 48 get better?

I wouldn't know to be honest. I free xp'd to the Foch 50 when the French TD line went live.

How the hell do all of you keep getting 60%+ W/R playing in the pubs?! I got rid of my stats sig because of the W/R was horrid.

Because I am l33tsauce.

Honestly, because of the AT-15, T-44 I am grinding, and surprisingly, the M7. 60%, 78%, 73% in them respectively. Heck, 65% in the E-100 and I just barely got the 15 cm, and suck in it. JT took a big dump though. Started at 1 and 5 today, back to 7 and 7. Even got lucky in the Panzer V/IV A. And that tank is a gigantic pile of suck.

I know I am due for a big losing streak, and I am scared. Maybe I need beer.

So what do you guys think I should do...

I am either going to restore my M4A2E4 (closed beta tester T5 reward tank) http://wiki.worldoft.../M4A2E4_Sherman

or  

I will have my M6A2E1 T8 preorder reward tank restored.   http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/M6A2E1

What do you guys think? Which one should I get?

- 8.7 will apparently bring US rebalance + British arty (SS: earlier it was said that 8.7 will come very soon after 8.6, possibly within 2 weeks)
- 8.8 will not contain German TD's

[teamoldmill]

That is a tough Call Death. Both cannot ever be obtained again through the store.  The Mutant stands out much more in my eyes. I would not even notice the Sherman if it entered a battle. When I got my Panzer V/IV package we got our asses kicked over and over and over and over against those Mutant 6s.

Sherman more rare though.I did not even see it on the list for wot-news US. On RU it is played with some regularity.

Im probably never going to even play which ever one I get to be honest. I have plenty of premium tanks sitting around collecting dust as it is.

I never played either one, but I like the Shermans :P

The 46 is massive Jagdpanther. Good call on going with the 90, better aim time, faster ROF and better DPM than the 100. The 48 is better but not much. The armor isn't consistent, the 120mm gun has long aim time, but it  does have pretty good mobility and camo.

[kampfer91]

jesus , look at that delicious armor , guess i must start grinding the French line all over again.....

Hated the 46 with a passion.  Like the 48 a lot more.  Quicker, lower and feels like better camo, still doesn't hit THAT hard but feels more effective then the 46.

Yup, MM completely screwed me today. 10 and 14 for the day. 1 and 8 in my AT-15, one of my best vehicles. Many T10 battles, with blue and purple T62s and 268s vs my orange JPEs and 50 Ms and crap like that. No matter how well I play, complete stomps because I have asshole teammates.

So second german td line is in 8.6 or after 8.8?

1948 is a massively gimped Foch 50. Giant tumor on your tank, 2.9 second aim time on a gun that is better than Ferdi's in only the penetration. It's fast but gets shredded by tier 9 tanks.1000 HP means any arty with 155mm gun or bigger can one shot you. Foch is much better.

With the new normalization changes coming next patch Foch 50 armor might be worth something against gold, but its nerfed penetration means i'll have to shoot gold all the time. Should I sell my Foch 50?

He only said it won't come in 8.8. What he should have said is: Second german TD line won't come.

I just wonder if I am being dumb. Yes, I want a Foch, but the grind.... and I am close to the Tortoise, which I think will be my ultimate machine. But now I want an E5 or T57 depending on nerfs. So sick of all these damn tanks doing cool things while I flounder along in my big dumb douche box German T10 tanks.

[thekillaii]

I know how you feel man. I was rotting in my jpe for over 600 games until i decided to try to get the foch 155. It was 100 percent worth it. It took me almost two and a half weeks to grind it from tier 5( skipped the somua and the toys before that with some free exp) the jpe is just a thing in my garage to remind me that i have two tier tens.

[Mow_Mow]

Would like to say that the penetration nerf on the Foch gun combined with reduced normalization is gonna make things really hard. It's a TD, but it will have less than 260 pen on its best gun at tier 9. Doesn't sound like a formula for success to me.
