The Double Barreled Tank

[@CT-1902]

I'm going to be completely honest I do actually like the fact that the corpses are persistent in this. There is no worse feeling than when you were hiding behind somebody's corpse and it suddenly disappears and you are now at the mercy of everything looking at your juicy side

Yeah, spooks just got a little too mad here. Not the corpse's fault that he forgot to move and expose his second gun.

Interesting fact: This was designed for "Wedelfahrt". With good armor concentrated at the front and the 2200 hp boost engaged, a theoretical production model was supposed to drive towards the enemy in a zig-zag course (imagine it as a Rabbit evading a pursuer but engaging instead of running away). The commander would then aim at a target with his independent and stabilized scope, lock it and the targeting computer would then calculate lead and elevation and fire in the brief moment the gun passes over the locked target point.

Wtf did we play the same vehicle, that things gun is significantly below average having only 55mm of pen max and 30g of filler, on top of that anytime you stop moving the gun takes ages to stabilize from the entire vehicle rocking forwards

@@lavaknight3682 yeah, but you gotta keep in mind you're never shooting stuff perfectly, so even thinner plates with enough distance and angling can end up being more than that can pen when something more average such as the russia's 45 cannon would still pen. You've also gotta consider uptiers, since going to 2.0 or 2.3 you start running into more common stuff like the Panzer 3 J and 4 E, and god forbid the valentine, that have that much armor. You'll also struggle against french tanks, since they actually have decent armor and even their shit firepower can kill you, though I guess they aren't the most common I did go and test drive it, and it seems the stability issues I mentioned have been fixed luckily at least

Please try the T-29 (American heavy) with the 105mm. It's a premium. It sits at 7.0. With an uptier you face like tanks 20 years younger. But the cannon is still amazing. One of the most neat features of the tank is that you can drive the tank with 2 people left... So basically driver + gunner/loader/loader/commander. Imagine that 1 guy loading those shells that you normally use 2 people for and then quickly sit behind the turret controls to fire...

​@@TheManOfMyriad 1)Reduce your own engine sound on settings to only hear enemy engines (works best with headphones). 2) If you see someone performing well, try to remember what type of the machine he's using and where he's shooting from (via replays), so you can try replicating the gameplay. 3) Shut down your engines if you manage to get into a decent ambush positions. 4)Pointing on a minimap may be useless since almost nobody pays attention to it, but sometimes it saves your life. 5)Be aware of the reload speeds and weakspots. 6) don't ignore planes and helis, they are one of the main reasons you die regardless of the position (if you see an enemy plane spawning after you kill someone, most probably it's coming for you). 7) Learn the maps, replays are the best way to do it, try to see a pattern where players tend to go from both sides And dont get upset every time you lose badly or after being gaijined, everybody face the same problem, hang in there buddy

@@MehrunesKar Credit to you lad! I already do most of this. Still learning weak spots on some vehicles, but I've got a decent bank of knowledge in common design of armour layouts and munition placements. If I'm right most vehicles have hatches and MG ports with poorly protected lower plates which are good places to go for. Munitions for some strange reason are often center placed or at the front of a vehicle behind the armoured regions.
