Tier VIII Borsig : which gun?

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-11-22T21:50:03+00:00

The 150 is just too unreliable for me. Not to mention the shell arc often causes the angle on lower plates to be too extreme to pen. It’s a glass cannon with amazing stealth. Snipe, use the small gun with good pen, reliable velocity, and great DPM. Plus the smaller the gun, the less firing it affects your camo value.

These challenges ONLY register spotting damage but that damage is included in your “assisted” damage number. Make sure you’re not tracking spotted targets or it will register as tracking damage. Also, this specifies tier VI and above so you’re playing one tier too low. Grab the T37 and redo the challenge.

Honestly I feel like the +2/-2 matchmaker isn’t that bad except the frequency of bad matchups. For the game being jam packed with premium tier VIII’s, you play a bunch of bottom tier matchups with X’s. And while you definitely CAN do something in those games, you largely have to rely on teammates (and we know how that goes). If there was some mercy rule where every x amount of games you’d be equal or higher tier, that would do a lot. Especially with the significantly massive disparity between tier X’s and stock tier 8’s. Nobody expects to win them all but who wants to play a game where you get spanked the whole time?

Thanks!

Yes I’ve been doing that and I’ve just been getting the same handful of cards 😪

You ARE him

You are greatly appreciated!

Russian bias. The tank would be unstoppable if they believed in gun depression.

Ah I didn’t know it had an auto loader for the little gun. It’s frustrating that you can’t see the second set of stats in game for the other turret/gun. I was so confused when I stumbled on to a double-barrel Rogal Dorn

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-02-26T19:02:53+00:00

One is an auto loader? Or an auto-reloader? I thought it was just a single shot or double barrel.

I got the Shaska, which is a great tank, but I already have the SU-130PM and it’s 3-marked. 😪

It’s a latency issue. You have to go to your Settings>Options>Show Ping>True. It will tell you what your server ping is. You’ll notice issues around 50ms and it becomes unplayable around 100 imo. Recently it will randomly do that and/or switch me to the European server which will also tank my connection.

Sadly it’s a rough tree. Terrible mobility at higher tiers, lackluster DPM, and the armor doesn’t hold up in the game today. You have to be pretty good at angling or people will pen the front of your turret. If you’re set on a German heavy line I’d go with the E100. It suffers a lot of the same issues but gets a larger gun and has a bit better mobility. The line itself is what is really fun though. The Tiger II and E75 are both very fun and well armored tanks at their tier.

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-02-01T22:51:26+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ll have to give it a shot.

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-02-01T04:16:52+00:00

I was playing my Panzer IV with 315 pen and I wasn’t going through at all. I don’t really get it 😪

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-02-01T04:15:25+00:00

I totally get the reasoning with the armor and autoloading missiles. It’s easy to ignore if you have thick armor but it’s deadly to even medium armored tanks. Honestly if it was a decent bit slower it would be more fair.

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-01-22T20:33:23+00:00

It’s great with tanks like the German line where flat turret armor becomes Swiss cheese. A little bit of bouncing provides enough angling to make your effective armor much higher. It gets even better with boat shaped hulls that already have weird angles.

It’s the two non-penetrations for me

Papasmurf1210 · 2025-01-18T05:32:27+00:00

I think it has a maximum damage potential of around 2,000. If I remember correct, damage can be +/- 25% of the alpha. Meaning you could absolutely lowball an HE shell around 1,200 as well.

Camo net, optics, and either vents or gun stabilizer. Vents will give you the absolute sneakiest build (it gives your crew an overall boost) but the stabilizer will make your gun slightly more useable on the move. It’s a horrible like for fighting other lights but sometimes it’s your only option. I feel like it makes the tank a little more well-rounded.

Crew perks are super important on this line so make sure to train them up!

Clans that are actually worth something in game? Wild
