Hey Chilli. Welcome to the Fever WoT club. My grand scheme is to run a Jagdpanther but I'm waiting for a half-price JgPz IV before I go up that tree as I have plenty of other tanks on the go currently.
Fort. A question for you. What gun do you rate on the Bathtub? I have gone from the 17-pounder to the 90 and the 90 has been awful in the few battles I have run it in. Have just (last night) put the 105 on it but the reload looks horrifying.
Not sure about the US TD line as the T28 Prot doesn't have a ringing endorsement from people. Apparently it is spectacularly slow (in relation to your French TD points). I am tempted to run the Jackson as the T25 AT looks quite good and at least comes with a gun that can make holes in things. The T25/2 comes with the Hellcat gun and gets a slightly better Hellcat gun which is okay in a Tier VII fight (above) but not much use in Tier VIII and above. I don't have the top gun on it yet.
My win rate in it has taken a bath so where I was around 70% in the first 10 battles it has slipped to 47%. Some my fault, some due to very poor teams. I would say the jury is still out on if I like it. I have got a Mastery 3 in it but that game above was the first time I felt we have really bonded. Helped by the map and some odd tactics from the other team.
I should (sometime) push on to the SU-100. I have never gone ahead of the Su-85b on that line. I get distracted by stupid ideas like doing 50 battles in the T-80 as it is 'tank of the month'. Up to 41 out of 50 at a (just) over 50% win rate.
