m36 is unplayable

hetismij's Photo hetismij Jul 12 2011

This thing is unplayable, I can't stand it anymore.

It's:
- slow
- a big, very soft, target
- slow
- lacking ANY form of camo. I get spotted from all the way across the field while being stationary
- not making ANY money
- The only tank/TD I ever owned that has more HE than AP munition because AP just doesn't do any damage at all whatsoever. Sometimes I hear the voices say 'penetration', but the target is still 100%
- a one shot kill for anything tier 5 and up.
- slow


It is 16k exp to the 90mm. That is just out of reach. With the stock gun, the M36 is worthy of tier4 at the very most.

Even if I had the 90mm, it's still nothing. This TD has nothing at all going for it. It excels at nothing besides being slow, crappy, big, weak, easily spottable and pointless.



Devs please, please, please do something about this heap of junk.

As it is now, I just log of if I'm not the top tier, cause I wont be doing any damage anyway.

i loved him already as stock, that 76 gun shoots amazingly fast, it is pretty small and has good armor. Just dont assault anyone head on: camp or ride with a big heavy tank that takes all the damage for you

I didnt have much trouble with it, and if you're just quitting when you arnt top tier you're being a wimp and screwing yourself out of xp, just go along with the grind use HE and upgrade it. Ive said it before and I'll say it again
ALL STOCK TANKS SUCK just deal and grind

The thing I hate most about the M36 is its complete lack of gun depression.

Also, its slow.

I know all stock tanks suck, but tis thing is far worse than average and the grind is so incredibly long!

About logging of: I play tis game for fun. Ga,es like that are not fun, they are usless because I will be one shotted without doing damage anyway.

Caming is not an option. The cammo is not good enough for that by far. I'll get spotted by tanks commig straight at me before I see them. They will kill me in one shot.

The only tactic that might work is staying behind heavy tanks.

You won't be getting any better at the game, either.  You get better by being challenged, not having walks in the park.

I was gonna have sympathy for you, as most of the stock tanks do indeed suck, some worse than others.  But rage quitters bother me much more than derpy tanks.  The tanks can't help that they put you at disadvantage.  Rage quitters just don't care.  It's okay though, sounds like we're better off without that attitude.

I am not of any help to the team, so why would I stay? Cant scout, too slow and too weak, ammo is not good enough either. And cant damage ANY of the opponents. So my team is already screwed with me on them anyway.

I'f gone trough M3, T1 and M6. I know how sucky stock tanks can be, but m36 is just worse.

Your statement is nonsense, I'm not having problems playing my M36 even with the 76mm. I'm 6k from the 90mm but i've done well even without it. Remember its a TD not a tank, if u play it like a tank u will fail. In closing its an excellent TD.. you just have to stay at it and will be rewarded just like any other vehicle.

I know how a TD works. This TD does not work.

AgAin: It has NOTHING going for it. Nothing at all. Name 1 thing that is good at the m36. One thing.

t25 is the only reason Why I have the m36.

M36 is decent with 90mm, until then use the gun to take out mediums and below. BTW, T25 is good with the 105.

If you think this thing is bad stock, clearly you have not played the 3001P, even fully upgraded it only blows slightly less.

Everyone knows the worst stock tank in the game is the T34. :)

The stock gun on the M36 is better than the top gun on the Easy 8 and it's awesome on the Easy 8. You can hit higher tier tanks 2-3 times before they even reload. The penetration isn't great, but tanks you can't penetrate you switch to HE and unload with them on that.

Stop being lazy. The M36 starts with the top gun from the previous tank. Its also a better version of the Easy 8s M1A2 (which is its top gun). A smart player can do very well with the M1A2 AT Gun. On top of that, you get an awesome upgrade option in the 90mm.

You wouldnt complain if the Slugger came with a 120mm would you; then again, itd most likely be too much of a grind for you

I say up top speed to 48,increase acceleration by 20% and turning by 25%,then you could be a hit and run td then.I have a fully upped m36 and prefer the 76only with he rounds.you can shred heavys while they are distracted by other heavys.im sad though atm with its overall performance as a td,but if they tweak it a bit,it could be sweet.
