Tanks

Info on tanks I played, or found information on.

We have (from X to I): Bat.-Châtillon 25 t, T54, ferd/jgpanth, T29, Hellcat, M24 Chaffee, T40, Marder II, Cruiser Mk III, Leichttraktor ([6]).

U.S.A

II - M2-Light
  • Very funny little tank. Fun to drive and play. Got mastership very rapidly. Best gun is the rapid fire gun, which allows to turn around target, and shoot while driving.
IV - M5-Stuart
  • Had to play lots of game with that tank in order to get the M24-Chaffee. Was hard to play at the beginning, but was getting more fun when fully equiped. Not as fun as M2 / M3, but force to learn the basics of WoT. In the end, was a nice experience
V - M24-Chaffee
  • An excellent scout, according to [7] (+also another video on youtube)
  • Very expensive to repair (on purpose, according to [8], see also my post on [9])
T-40
  • An excellent tank killer, especially when equipped with the 105mm AT Howitzer M3.
  • With the Groundhog Day mission (+75k credit when killing 4 tanks and surviving), I collect 300k easily with this tank.
  • Reported as best tier IV tank in Winner for J!NX on Random Battles
M4A3E2 Jumbo Sherman
  • vBAddict stats and equipment
  • Guide [10]
    • Suggested equipment: stock turet + derp gun (105mm Howitzer) + vert. stab. + ramer + binos
      • Works ok, but have to use GOLD ammo.
    • spam with he, and when u have nice clean shot use premium shell, u have 150 pen with 350 dmg WITH two shots for 1 of kv-1s btw, AND with better frontal armor...
    • Hull down, little angled position.
T-34

French

ELC AMX
  • Not played. Very fast light tank, and thin. Can hide easily in rifts, or behind small relief.
  • Probably not so expensive to repair

German

VK-2801
  • Seems favorite scout from Tazilon, an expert scout player.
E-25
  • Equipment on vbAddict
  • Suggested equipment [11]:
    • Camo net, vent, rammer
    • azakow: no optics, no camo net, no rammer, but Vent, Binocular, Fast aim. Crew: Dead Eye (1/2 hit module), Safe Storage, Designated taret, Large repair
    • Vent, Rammer, Optics.

Tips

  • Use perforation indicator to know whether shot will penetrate (In Settings, Reticle, Gun marker). In cas of J1mb0's reticle, this is the tiny black dot at the center that changes to red/orange/green depending on whether shot will penetrate or not.
  • Use optimal Game and graphics settings
  • Enable server reticle. This shows where the server thinks you are really aim at.

Maps

Convert Locastan HD map to PNG

identify ./spaces/29_el_hallouf/mmap.dds
convert ./spaces/29_el_hallouf/mmap.dds ./spaces/29_el_hallouf/mmap.png
  • To convert all maps to .png:
for f in $(find -name "*.dds") ; do echo $f; done

Wiki

  • Ammo
    • AP: Armor Piercing shell. With normalization (5°). Lost penetration over distance.
    • APCR: Armor Piercing Composite Rigid shell. Gold ammo. With normalization (2°). Do not penetration over distance. Very high penetration.
  • Battle Mechanics
  • Gunnery & Armor Penetration (WoT)
