@@morumcadi at 9.0 you get uptiered alot, before putting talisman on it i recommend playing until dm33 and laser rangefinder are unlocked then decide wether you like it or not, if yes then put talisman on it. It's a1a1 with better shell, gunner thermal, and laser rangefinder. Turret traverse, speed, armor, etc is the same as a1a1. I would recommend checking m48 super too, it got commander thermal. For german i only put talisman on my gepard since i think it is the most consistent of rank vi german.

[@morumcadi]

@@brianr.6376 Okay, thank you. I really love the Leo A1 and seeing as the 1A5 is just an overall better version at a slightly higher BR (which still favors Germany!) I was very tempted to just go for it. I am also looking forward to the M48 Super, as it has everything I wanted in the previous model; the lack of a stabilizer really hurt that thing. I'll see how 9.0 works out for me once I get there (still got some things to research) but would like to thank you in advance.

I feel like I understand the game, my vehicles and my enemy's vehicles to the degree where I can at least make meaningful decisions even if most of my enemies know more about the maps. - I even got a really awesome game with the T-72 that I put on my channel and I was having a blast the whole time.

Yay Oxy is back ! As always a pleasure to watch. The only thing I would change is to add roof top or the "forehead" of the turrets for 9.7 and up Soviets as a common weak point, especially when you get to things like M1A2, Chally 2, Leo 2A5\6 that are noticeably higher in stature, shooting at the turret roof is extremely viable, DM53 pretty much guarantees one shot if you hit turret roof mid as spalling usually kills both gunner and commander.
