I've got this weird thing whereby if a tank acts consistently well, it earns a name. Most of my German tanks have done so, it's just that most of the German names are shit.

The only tank I've named is my Black Prince. Call her "African Princess" now wish I could have a black paint scheme that everyone else could see. Show off my African Princess.

[Tagmatium]

How could you only have one?

I've got eight, ranging from the FT AC to the Jagdtiger.

The latter is my only named German vehicle.

It's easy to have only one tank destroyer if you're mainly into regular tanks.

Well, I've got a fair few regular tanks, too.

I used to play more TDs, but now it's more HTs and MTs.

One of the disadvantages of the Jackson is the slow turning rate of its turret. You're often dead before you can even get your gun pointing in the right direction.

[Licana]

Never had that problem in the Jackson (or any turreted TD, considering they all have fairly slow turret traverses). Proper positioning and pre-aiming will stop that from being an issue 95% of the time.

I mostly play TDs and mediums.

[Macedonian Grand Empire]

I have played a lot of TD, mediums, heavies, arties I do not play only light tanks. At the moment I have 10 TD in the garage.
It is just a play style that people have fun playing. I find it odd the amount offences that are thrown at guys playing the game as they see fun just because some people do not like it.

Personal preferences are important, yes. A good example is the VK 30.01 H. I honestly like playing that German heavy tank, but others dislike that vehicle with a passion. Not because it's overpowered or something like that, mind you. For me it's a decent vehicle that does the job, thanks to its lovely top gun. It may not be stronk like the KV-1, but I don't mind that. I don't mind that at all.

I love it as well. 67% win rate with the lovely thingy. The top gun is a blast. Accurate, fast firing, 230 APCR shell in tier 5 is murder.
The amount of offenses flying at guys that play arties and TD's for me is lately going overboard. They like playing it and why should people hate them due to their way of having fun. I know a guy that aside some tanks like the Foch 155 and T 57 heavy plays arty only.

I honestly hate playing arty, but I congratulate arty for actually hitting me because I know how fucking hard it is to hit even shit when you're in the sewer with arty guns as of late. Sold off my french tanks though because I decided I like DPM and all, but I like surviving long enough to put that DPM to use, and what I mean by that is that you most definitely can't play the H35 like one can play the BT-2 or Pz II, but you can play the T-127 like the H35... because armor. I like armor, ut not so much so as to make me able to run around carelessly because I like angling and all that shiz. Also I like high penetration, and though that 25mm autocannon on the H35 rips stuff to shit, it still doesn't make up for a pitiful amount of armor or mobility in general.

I never liked it. It never worked for me.

Being hysterically fast often works out wonderfully for light tanks, as my T2 Light Tank and Tetrarch have proven more than once, but low tier slowpokes have their use as well. It's all a matter of finding a good position and be patient. The enemy usually doesn't take long to pop up, after that it is a matter of sniping all that can be sniped. Just make sure you're using good cover, if only to soak up the damage of incoming artillery shells.

dem crew skills

[The Huskar Social Union]

I bought the ARL 44 yesterday (saved up for a little extra to buy it with crew at 75% skill) and unlocked the second turret first (i could not stand looking at that barn of a turret that you start off with). Now im working my way towards suspension and engine. Though i have no idea what gun to go for on this tank.

That shouldn't be difficult for the ARL 44. The 90 mm DCA 45 is what you want. You want it so hard.

Oh, yes. That gun hits hard. Your opponent will feel it deep inside.

I think the stock turret looks cute. It is like barn. Stronk French Barn. Pride of the French Proletariat. Soviet proletariat is jealous of French barn.

It'll also be what you get when WG eventually adds in the only super heavy tanks that were actually built with a French super heavy tank line, but that'll probably be in 2074 after they added in the AMX-30 in 2073 in patch 9.99998947, 6 decades late. The ARL stock turret was after all, the turret on the FCM F1 proposal with the 90mm version of it. Hopefully it won't be quite as weak on the FCM F1, although no doubt Wargaming will decide that clearly aiming for the secondary turret in the front is too hard anyway.

On the ARL 44, either the 90mm DCA 45 or the 105mm. I personally currently use the 105mm for the higher alpha/better DPM, but the 90mm is a good choice too. I used it for a long time. Just use either one.

I tried out the 105 mm myself on the AMX M4 45, but I didn't really like it. Also keep in mind that the DCA 45 is a tier VIII gun, which is quite the advantage when driving a tier VI heavy. You will meet tier VIII tanks in battle, best to have something on board that actually is capable of penetrating them.

Stronk French Barn! Pride of the French Proletariat indeed! As it is made from 100% Thorezium, the superior element to Stalinium.

I actually only saw the stock turret once during a battle. I thought it was some new tank and got scared, panicked because the turret instilled fear in me. Also more people need to learn to defend at the bottom of the hill on the south side of himmelsdorf.
