@@Thiccron for real. I took like a 2 month break after 8.7 britian grind broke my brain. Came back and played some 4.0ish russia with the 4.0 (i think) T-34 and went 12-0 first game. And my average K/D is almost exactly 1.0 so I'm average. Thing is amusingly busted.

[@khinzaw77]

@@connivingkhajiit I'm just saying it's a fun tier to fight at, because if I bump to 4.3 then I have to deal with tigers in uptiers when American guns are mostly shit at that point. Sure, tigers are easy when you're actually at that BR range, but are a massive pain in the ass with the short 75mm. Britain doesn't have the same problem with pen at that tier.

[@Shaboomquisa]

@@hansgruber3064 it becomes a spawn camp circle jerk after 2 minutes. every tank is fast af so everyone can make it to the enemy's spawn too fast. a lot of people have laser rangefinder which takes 1 second and auto adjusts elevation so any idiot can shoot pin point first shot. enemy will be in the open for one second and 5 people will shoot one person.

[@barybary42]

Fun fact; try to get the same stats with other nations at this br. Well, you cannot. T34 seems to also have a stabilizer without having it written. You can just drive and keep shooting. + it's projectile does not drop much.
