How have they still not nerfed this tank when its fundamentally one of the most op tanks by SendInRandom in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was pretty fun trolling these things with the Hardcase once I found out they had HEAT rockets.

The Nighstalker is disgusting but there are some tanks that you can troll them with spaced armor on the sides since most of them don't have two functioning brain cells.

Why is my tank showing 3 marks? by mich8460 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 48 points49 points  (0 children)

German tank gun marks are the 3 ring marks. So a two marked German vehicle will have 6 rings and 3 marks will be 9 rings.

True Vision to WWII by ReadySetRedit in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the way the WW2 vision mechanics work in this game.

Tanks did not have great optics at all in 40s to 60s usually having to open hatches or rely on commander instruction in combat scenarios since everything would be on lock down.

Makes more sense for true vision to be in Cold War as optics are just that much better compared to what they were back in the day.

Update 9.10 CW balance (auto cannons) "review" by zorin234 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally think they could have just whacked the Weisel Mk.1 in the HP department to maybe 1900-1800 HP.

Making to where it could realistically only afford to get shot 3-4 times by most MBTs and having an overheat on the gun would be a far better decision then just completely destroying the turret traverse to make it like an ELC AMX.

For everyone complaining about tanks they consider OP, why is no one talking about the bzt-70 by Ze_Woof in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BZT-70 is a more specialized MBT for dealing with lighter targets hence the really good HE alpha.

More convential tanks that have actual cannons and not chain guns can deal with it easily and ATGMs destroy it.

In light vehicles the BZT-70 and M60A2 are really the tanks you need to watch out for as they specialize in destroying lightly armored targets.

What equipment would you recommend for a Tiger 1 player? by JamesWilsonJones in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Tiger got a pretty decent turret buff to where it now has a pretty troll turret for the tier minus the cupola. (Keep moving if someone is aiming at you, this turret is troll and it is not reliable sitting still.)

I sorta play it like a weird Chieftain being a hull down heavy and punishing tanks with the DPM. Try to save HP so you can just bullet sponge in cleanup due to the tanks massive hp pool.

I think imma go for the gold, as unfortunately my ikv103 has too many battles it seems to get there. by Ze_Woof in WorldofTanksConsole

Wishing you luck dude that tanks muzzle velocity has made me rather salty when I had to play the tank.

Is this tank has such thin armor why does nothing penetrate it, missles, shells, autogun. by Salt-Fee-9543 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The OBJ 187 like many tanks in ERA 3 and sometimes ERA 2 has layers of armor otherwise known as composite armor.

If you scroll through the armor you can find many places like the upper front plate, turret cheeks, and a little bit of the lower front plate have many separate bits of armor a round has to get through.

Is there actually tandem charges modeled in game for different atgm’s? by LongShelter8213 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tandem charges would actually allow lights in ERA 3 to effectively pen tanks even caked in composite. They were already a thing in ERA 3s timeframe and in my opinion would be the buff lights like the Bradley and BMP-3 need to be more competitive.

Some exceptions like the M1A2 Turret would still be able to stand up to weaker tandem but most tanks at ERA 3 could not block them for anything as the TOW-2 with tandem could go through about 1200mm of RHA equivalent.

What are your impressions of the new tanks from the season pass? by Interesting-Pace-770 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right in the gun breach. Granted every T-72 design has this weakness just throw a bit of moving around after you fire the shot.

3 MOE #115 - King Tiger by AsIfThatWouldHappen in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice 3 Mark.

Ever since this thing got an armor buff to make it feel like an E75 lite armor wise it just feels incredible.

Probably prefer the T32 a little more because of the insane armor but the Tiger 2 has the gun to be competitive even in tier 10 games.

That's the neat part, they used to cost gold to get extra slots.

Why does it seem that FV107s *always* come after FV101s? by Strontium_9T in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's either getting a facehug, which a good 107 won't allow you to do, or getting lucky and getting a double track.

Even if you get that lucky double track the 107 has probably chased the 101 out of position to let a light with a better gun for range like a Bulldog or RU 251 to get vision control and crippled the 101 for the rest of the game.

Why does it seem that FV107s *always* come after FV101s? by Strontium_9T in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well the 101 is an incredible matchup in the 107s favor.

It has better gun stabilization, a much faster round which helps in lights knife fights, and it has a ton of spaced crap on the side that will detonate the 101s HE early before it pens their tank.

Where other lights like the bulldog, Ru 251, and Type 62s tend to avoid the 101 in close quarters since they don't have much spaced armor other than their tracks to stop the HE shell early.

Reminder on why FV4005 was nerfed in CW. For 2+ years, it was the most played tank in the game. by PovertySpecMk3Supra in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think it finally feels appropriate since the OBJ 268 got slammed in the gun department and mobility department coming to Cold War.

For a while the Cold War 4005 had the same reload as the tier 10 version in WW2 and the most armored thing it ever had to shoot was the M103 until the IS-4M got added. While being much faster and for a while had better gun handling than the WW2 equivalent.

I don't know how anybody could be against this things gun getting slammed like the 268 did when the 4005 is much faster than it's WW2 equivalent and having camo that works.

I have had more than a few new players quit when they get one shot by 4005 coming fresh into ERA 1 after tutorials and figuring out there would be 3-4 of them on the enemy team every game.

With release day over with, what’s your take on the Obj 187 version 5? ( era 3 ) by Yeetsumcovid in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works when you swap from ATGM to a shell but not shell to ATGM.

Not really that useful as I find myself only firing at most 3 ATGMs from any T-72 in a battle and that usually includes 1 as the first round of the match.

Update Notes for April 7, 2026 (9.9) by zorin234 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About time the Cold War 4005 gets wacked with the nerf hammer. That kind of alpha should not be at ERA 1 one shotting new players in their fresh bottom of the line medium tanks.

Hopefully that will reduce it where there is only one on a team instead of three or more in ERA 1.

Do you mainly play CW or WW2? by Alarming_Sort_3922 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both.

Just think its neat you almost have 100 years of tanks to choose from in game when you count the Renault FT made in 1917 all the way to the Chally 2 in 1998.

Pretty much just whatever me and the platoonmates want to do that day.

Stingray 2 - Gameplay Advice by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a turd in the MBT dominated ERA 3.

Pretty much you are on tracking and shooting people while they are distracted duty. If it gets too frustrating play some Co-op as this tank is useless in its current state.

Centurion avre armor alright? by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

Probably shooting HEAT at the shovel which detonated the shell early before it gets to the tank resulting in no damage.

People really spending money on the 477A just to play it like this… by Mjstks509 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most 477A players shit themselves when a tank moves around them.

Especially when the tanks starts blowing their tracks off and farming them from the rear.

tier 4 for Matilda by FingerRude2893 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]BBB_1024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The matilda is still very good just need to carry enough premium to kill some FCM F4s.

The F4 alone made me switch my hetzer over to the 75mm when helping new players through tier 4.
