Sage advice on TDs & SPGs....

...well, everyone was sage but me that is:

BobLoblaw: i've skipped shit tanks though
fatkiddown: I dumped bunches into the US TD line to knock out a lot
fatkiddown: oh ya
fatkiddown: the slugger
fatkiddown: (shudder)
fatkiddown: that thing was just aweful
BobLoblaw: i made it to the t25 and stopped
BobLoblaw: t30 i had from before etc, and the t95 i have no desire
fatkiddown: I like the T25 a lot
BobLoblaw: yeah its a nice tank
BobLoblaw: no real desire for the t28 either
BobLoblaw: not a fan of super slow tanks
fatkiddown: ya
fatkiddown: I like the T28 ok tho
fatkiddown: had 9 kills in it I think
fatkiddown: shoulda been 10
BobLoblaw: you have a jagdtiger?
fatkiddown: yar
fatkiddown: loves it
fatkiddown: can't beat 6th sense on a TD
fatkiddown: have it on my jdt
BobLoblaw: i want one, but i've heard mixed reviews
fatkiddown: I play all TDs the same
fatkiddown: hide, snipe
fatkiddown: "from a long goddamn way off...."
BobLoblaw: lol i'd probably be terrible in a jt then
fatkiddown: It used to have _the_ greatest penetration of any tank or td in the game
fatkiddown: I think of all my TDs I have worst w/r in it
fatkiddown: but things get tough at high tiers
BobLoblaw: i usually ram my 704 down peoples throats, for better or worse sometimes lol
fatkiddown: 704 is to be respected
fatkiddown: such alphastrike
BobLoblaw: its not much of a sniper
BobLoblaw: though some games it seems to not miss, while others not so much
BobLoblaw: slowly grinding towards a maus, and i guess the jt, though only at the hetzer lol
123zorn: the german TD line is not a bad slog. The Russian was a slog as the 212 is just a SU-14 slightly warmed over and its a lot of xp to move beyond the SU-14 gun to the 261.
123zorn: the GW Tiger is just mediocre as well, but is more like the 212 in action than any of the other German arty
123zorn: The GWE has faster reload and slight accuracy improvement but not the killer that the 261 or T92 are.
BobLoblaw: the 261 feels like a reskinned hummel
BobLoblaw: damage is meh, AP is overrated
123zorn: the 261 is very accurate, it is a lot like a hummel, but is a lot harder hitting, it is excellent for counter arty ops as it moves fast to get out of the way of returning fire
123zorn: I like the 261, now the T92 splash make it very worthwhile, overall the german line up to the GWP is the most fun (I'm slogging the french now, the 105AM is horrid since HE has been nerfed)
123zorn: the US line is a good one once you get to the bigger gun on the M7, from there its a good run where playability increases as tier increases
BobLoblaw: 261 doesnt hit that hard, low trajectory rarely hits top down
123zorn: the russian line is good to the SU-14 and then on hold until the 261 in terms of increased power. The SU-14 is the sweet spot for russian arty as it does huge damage for its tier
BobLoblaw: you get lucky sometimes, but normally pretty meh with HE, and AP is a coin toss as to it bouncing
123zorn: cerrtainly for its tier, the 261 is a lightweight for alpha, but its ROF is pretty awesome for its accuracy + damage
BobLoblaw: very true
123zorn: if you miss on the T92 (a fairly common occurance) it takes forever to reload so that part is painful
BobLoblaw: splash is insane though
123zorn: I never use AP, a miss is just too expensive with it
BobLoblaw: i would like my 261 alot more if it didn't have such a flat trajectory
123zorn: if we get into clan wars, I would love to try some gold HE on the T92 for, must be a hoot
123zorn: I agree on the 261, but movement is so fast that relocating fora better shot is very viable unlike the T92 or GWE
BobLoblaw: it is, and good for td mode, but once again the trajectory sucks for non huge maps
BobLoblaw: that mountain pass one, its generally useless
BobLoblaw: shooting uphill also a pain

What sage may look like....
