Idk if you’re ever gonna see this,

I AM SO SORRY!!! I DIDNT MEAN TO TURN YOU I WAS GETTING PICKLES AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP TO MY SCREEN I SAW I HAD TURNED YOU. IT WAS NEVER MY INTENTION TO DO IT ON PURPOSE

If you were on xbox I would’ve sent you a message there but I feel extra bad so I came here 😭😭

(Take down if not allowed)

I’ll go first (limited to what I have unlocked)

In order:

TVP T 50/51
CENTURION AX
UDES 15/16
FV4202

Not a big brag but I marked it as bragging cos it seems like it.

Saw Death’s post earlier about MoEs - inspired me cos I don’t mark tanks through skill, more like attrition.

Hard, attrition-based learning.

Anyways, his post and advice got me round to looking at my T30 and thinking “let’s do this” and then I did it.

Never 2 marked anything in my life and I’ve been here 4 years.

Anyways - love this humongous 155mm daemon. And the dogs. Anyone else appreciate a T30 in their garage?

Last thought - is 3 mark really tough? Might die lots. Onwards and sideways ⭐️ also big high fives to you folks that 3 and 4 mark stuff.

@grok can you tell me how to get good thanks

I always hear people say that you should maximize your view range on tanks, even if it already has 445, so you can outspot enemy tanks. So I maxed my view range on all my tanks

But how much value does the extra meters of view range hold? I kinda got an idea that it technically reduces enemy tank concealment , not sure whether it’s correct

So let’s say there’s an enemy tank with detectable range of 300m, my tank has a view range of 495m, 50m above max. So how much concealment does the enemy tank loss? At what range will the enemy tank be spotted? 310m? 320m?

Is the extra meters that effective or its effect is just minimal? Is there a formula for that?

I was trying to 4-mark the T-72 URAL but the games devolved into 7 Light tanks running laps with each other, so I took that as a sign to mix it up a little before wrapping up for the day lol

Forgot to share it so here it is now, after the event

Six days to go and just shy of 20,000 regiment points. I'm hoping to get the Bardelas 60mm for 30,000 (is it any good). Is it possible to buy 10,000 regiment points?

Some interesting data for y'all:

• Total Number of Battles to 4-mark: 1,460

• Lower Number of Battles to Mark: 79 (M46A1)

• Highest Number of Battles to Mark: 299 (M60A2)

• Average Win Rate: 68.01%

• Lowest Win Rate: 52% (M1 Abrams)

• Highest Win Rate: 75% (M60A1)

• Average Accuracy: 76.89%

• Highest Accuracy: 83% (M1A2 Abrams)

• Lowest Accuracy: 71% (M46A1)

• Average Damage Ratio: 2.88 Damage/HP

• Highest Damage Ratio: 3.43 Damage/HP (M60A2)

• Lowest Damage Ratio: 2.12 Damage/HP (M1 Abrams)

If you have any questions or any of the tanks, I'll gladly answer them to the best of my ability, so feel free to ask.

I’m new to the game and have been grinding through tanks for about 2 weeks, and have now got some idea of my stats after that time.

But what is important? Is, for example, K/D that important? If so, what is a ‘good’ K/D? I’m 1.3 overall but have some tanks like the Matilda where I’m 2.9.

Damage seems more important, however, as I seem to do a lot to a tank before someone else gets the final shot off for the kill. Given there isn’t any assists-count-as-kill, is that how the team is intended to work? Focus fire and whoever gets a higher damage tends to be the best player?

Just trying to work out how I can best help the team and where I need to adapt!

Wow, they destroyed only buyable thing in the whole game. Like yeah, they wont see any more money from me, id rather buy a pc than pay dog 💩 like ps+. Gg wg your greed cost you money.

It's not working properly. You gotta log off, after winning however many games, then back in to see actual total. Just saying. If everyone else knows already then my bad.

8pm et and queue times are maxed and kicking me back to the garage . I get a game and it’s after 10 minutes it’s almost all bots . Super quick 15-2 loss. How do you find enjoyment anymore?

During the dev stream today, Twitch was saying my account was not connected. Other players reported the same issue, and KB recommended going to the WG site to unlink and then re-link your Twitch account (pics to show where).

This effectively fixed the issue. I started the game and had a couple weeks’ worth of drops appear in my log. I had not realized they were not being credited. Twitch still says my account is not connected, but I am getting drops again. Hope this helps!

*tl;dr - an odd duck premium not quite like anything else in the Western Alliance garage. 

*The Cold War Era 2 medium Sentinelle is, quite literally, one of my favorites. Ironically, looking at my stats. 

*The main gun on this is the “105mm Canon 76S”, whatever that is. Stats wise it’s a mid / top L7 - 460 damage, 389 / 361 pen. 

*Oh, and it’s a two round auto-loader. 

*That’s an odd choice and it forces a somewhat unique play style. It’s only two rounds so you can’t pop out and mag dump an unfortunate light like you can with a Skoda, but at the same time the full reload is slow enough that it makes it hard to corner peek. It’s very satisfying to put two L7 rounds into a T-54/55 in 3 seconds, but it’s never really enough to kill a healthy tank and then you have 15 seconds to try and figure out what to do with whoever you just pissed off. 

*Quite honestly, it would be a better tank with a weaker gun that had 3-4 rounds in the clip or if it simply had an L7 105mm. 

*The armor thickness and lay-out don’t help that dynamic either - the hull front is nicely sloped but it’s only around 100mm and the hull sides are a dead flat 70mm (pun intended). The turret face is around 240mm but it has minimal angling, The turret sides are around 100mm with a little angling but, again, it’s not much at this level of lethality. 

*There are 20mm or so of spaced armor on the turret sides and the skirts provide a little spacing so heat rounds are less effective than they could be, but in general this is not a tank to brawl in. Or really take any sort of hits in.

*Mobility is actually pretty good and better than the stats suggest. It’s not a speed demon but the hull rotates quickly, as does the turret, meaning that it’s easy to find and utilize a good fighting position. 

*Although Cold War mode is a True Vision world, the camo / view split is worth talking about here. There is roughly 300 - 350 meters difference between view range and detectability and that matters for something this big and this lightly armored. 

*The Sentinelle has (for a NATO tank) a surprisingly short profile- combined with its spotting advantage it’s easy(ish) to stay out of sight and put two quick rounds into targets of opportunity. 

*In fact, I seem to have my best games playing the Sentinelle like a WW2 tank destroyer - stay back, stay hidden, be a loyal wingman, and only engage targets that are already busy with one of your team mates so as not to become the primary focus. 

*This tank isn’t everybody’s cup of tea,  but it’s my cup of tea. 

*Current equipment / build: Full camo (the super patriotic “France Patriotic 24”0, full equipment (coated optics / gun stabilizer / improved ventilation / missile warning system), three consumables (enhanced repair kit / enhanced rations / enhanced med kit). 

*As I write this I have career stats on this account of 31,474 battles, a 48.42% winrate, and a WN8 score of 1423. 

*As I write this I have Sentinelle stats of 115 battles, a 47.83% winrate, and a WN8 score of 1149. I have not marked this tank.      

*Disclaimers:
*I am bad at this game and you should probably not take my advice.

*Unless otherwise noted, assume all tanks are fully upgraded/outfitted and the review assumes that level of equipment.

*This is my opinion. I suck at the game and better players might have different opinions. You might have different opinions. That’s ok.

*This game is my hobby and I have a good job so I spend money on it. If you are an aggressively free-to-play kind of guy we may not vibe.

Im new player and this game is game changer for me, i was able buy 2 tanks and on 2nd round 15k flag farm..1h left to event end and update started and I had 950+ points i planned make it 1000 n buy some more tanks ..nooo wg whyy

Nice move by WG. Now I don't need to spend money in this game at all.

3,20° gun depression and 9° of gun elevation made for one of the more difficult things I've played and Marking it was made that much harder by the fact that nobody's playing this tank, so I was pretty much stuck improving on my own results day after day. Honestly really enjoyable gun and I like the challenge, definitely gonna keep it in the rotation when I'm down for some Era 1 fun!

I get it if you're scared of giving it more pen, even if 88 would be nice(I mean the Gau 8 exists at 92 but we'll ignore that) and maybe you like it with no armor, or speed, or camo, or depression, or agility, or a stupidly long reload and/or cooldown.

But for the love of God can ya do something about the ammo price to damage ratio?

This is a premium tank with a premium account AND the battle pass credit buff, firing regular ammo. While this was NOT a great game, Ive had me lose credits on wins with a booster and me finishing at the top.

Please?

Pretty please?

With cherries on top and whip cream. I'll send cookies I swear.

How often does it go on sale? Because I have had zero luck when it shows up in crates and it's pretty much the only ERA 3 tank I want (I'm a bit of a Bradley variant fanboy). Oh and yes I already have the M3A1 and trying to get to the A2 but the M113 is currently draining my will to live.

Same question about the Duster, the Squall andthe GAU 8. Have they gone on sale (individually) since introduction?

I actually had no interest in auto cannon tanks until I played the mini-line in the US tech tree and I absolutely fell in love with the T3 and T5 ones, T4 not so much lol.

For everyone who's super generous or super desperate, please create a comment here if you're willing to donate or hoping for a gift.

Notes: 

• Release Date: June 30th 2026
• Dispersion: 
  • Turret: 0.08
  • Movement: 0.14
• Weight: 65 tons

Overview: 

• A lighter armor heavy with quite a strong gun. 

Pros: 

• Extreme DPM for a tier 8
• High pen
• Good accuracy 
• Low dispersion values
• High PTW
• Great 18kph reverse speed
• High gun depression
• Higher shell velocity 
• Quite cheap for a tier 8

Neutral: 

• Average VR

Cons: 

• Tad below average HP
• Lower damage per shot
• Weaker hull armor for a heavy, especially for the roof.

Armor: 

• Armor at list angle [armor against AP with 5 degree of normalization] 
  • Armor is the same as on PC so you can play with it on tanks GG to get a more indepth opinion. 
• Its generally weak despite its weight. The turret holds up, but has a large cupola. 
• Turret:
  • Front: Pretty thick with the turret face and chin being flat or a curved equivalent of 250mm. The gun mantlet is the same sort. The forward sides are 110mm angled about 70 degrees, so about 310 [255]. With gun depression it pushes it 360 or so. 
    • However due to it being just 70 degrees, the turret cheeks effectiveness drops sharply. At 10 degrees its only 200 [183~].
  • Sides: Ranges from 90 to 110mm with a bit of inward angling of 15 or so degrees. Anyhow its not blocking much outside HE. the forward part being angled in doesn't help. 
  • Cupola: 2 cupolas exist on top of this tank. 
    • The small one is a rounded hexagon that ranges from 160-170 [145-160]. Not blocking much but good enough for some lower tiers. 
    • The big one is the main concern as well its big. Front is 160/200 at 47/30 degrees. So its about 230/230 [220/213]. So good against tier 7’s and thats about it. With gun depression it does at least push it to [250/240] so good enough to block standard ammo and some premium. 
  • Roof: Forward section is 45mm and well angled so not too much worry. Though can be penned by high pen HEAT. rear section is 30mm, so its okay and dont have to worry too much about arty as the cupolas will block most shots. 
• Hull: 
  • Upper front: errr not great. 105mm at 57 degrees so 190-200 [167-179]. And thats the best scenario as its piked nose and thus often weak enough that some tier 6’s have a chance to pen. The upper 95mm sections are about the same effective +/- 10mm.
  • Lower front: 80mm at about 63 degrees. So about 177 [150]. So about the same as the upper section just more reliable. 
  • Sides: 90mm flat is actually quite good. Not that useful as due to being able to side scrape, but its something. I suppose i should mention the 10mm spaced armor as well for heat ammo i suppose. (though i think many would trade 20mm of side armor to buff the front like 30mm.)
  • Roof and floor: Floor is okay i suppose at 20 even thought the tank weighs a lot. The roof only being 20mm is the main concern. This a easy pen even for the FV304. Im not sure how this passed the reality check for being so thin. 
• So overall its not great, it can work hull down, but thats about it. Maybe reverse side scrape.

Gameplay:

• It's mostly a support heavy. It can fight hull down against equal tier meds and heavies if it's using all it's depression to make cupola decently effective (of course not immune). 
• It gets around just fine due to the strong PTW, but not too fast as it still weighs a lot. It can ram decently with that weight, but due to the lack of a good bumper it can take a bit more damage than expected. 
• Anyhow it's main strength is it's DPM, so best make use of that. It's not good at fighting close range at all unless it's a hull pokey poke (even then your cupola is too vulnerable). 
• If you're feeling adventurous you can try to reverse side scrape. It's certainly better than the normal version. You do have a bit of rear hull that still shows, but again it's better than you whole weak front side.
• Keep an eye for Arty targeting ya as you are quite vulnerable compared to other heavies.
• Equipment: 
  • Stabs
  • Rammer
  • Turbo
  • Eh pick something. 

Counter Gameplay: 

• Standard counter hull down stuff, don't let them get set up and try to flank otherwise.
• Outside of it bring hull down, try to focus it as it's generally a dangerous tank to leave alone due to the DPM and reliability of the gun.

Cosmetics: 

• Mmm it's certainly post war French heavy. Tiger 2 at home + poke nose from scare from the Russian. It's not a bad look, just this doesn't seem as sleek compared to the others. Perhaps it's just the bulky turret.
• in terms of details, there isnt much outside some storage in the turret bustle. not sure what type of liquid is inside the case of bottles, so you can have a fun game of trying to guess whats inside.

General Thoughts: 

• Why does it have absurd DPM? Yea it has weaker hull armor, but that should be offset a bit by the higher mobility. I can understand having say 2.1k as thats still higher than average but 2.4? Why? I blame the Caernarvon. 
• True it's quite big, but I'm having some trouble imaging it weighing so much. I guess compared to the historical tiger 2 it makes sense. We really have a skewed perspective on how much things should weigh with so many paper tanks / over buffed armor. though i do say the front hull takes a lot of space, thus making the whole tank bigger.

Buy?

• In the 2026 banner store it's pretty expensive for a tier 8 heavy for the flags. About 3x it's normal price so naturally iv iffy on recommending. 
• It's not particularly unique outside it's higher DPM, but you could just get the TT Cearn and get a close enough gameplay just better. True it won't be as mobile but you have quite effective armor. 
• If it does appear for gold in the future, it's something to consider I guess as it's base value isn't that high (8.5k). Though I don't it as event tank seem to be sticking to event stores.
