The HE rounds do nearly 1.7x the standard alpha (420 vs 250) and have 100mm of pen. Oh, and your DPM without food on is 4.9k. With food on, the DPM will jump to over 5.2k.

While there are other tanks with high-standard HE pen, almost none of them give such a massive increase to alpha to make shooting HE at tanks worth it most of the time. Not to mention, this tank reloads super fast, so non-pens with HE aren’t really an issue since you’ll hit almost everyone twice for every time they hit you. Also, you can easily splash thinner tanks for just about the same damage you would’ve done firing AP/HEAT. I almost always start every game off firing HE since all the tanks that get spotted initially are usually thinly armoured and will more than likely get penned by the HE rounds.

Of course, if HE isn’t your thing, you can always rely on the AP (270) and HEAT (330), which still offer an excellent 2.9k DPM even without food on. This tank is also quite mobile (55/20kph / nearly 22 PWR / decent traverse + resist), so you can relocate fairly easily. Personally, I take advantage of the mobility and run silent driving (300m on the move) + binos (VR up to 494m + 279m concealment) to scout for myself/the team if my lights are busy cosplaying as TDs.

That said, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows with this thing. There’s a reason the 3MOE reqs for the Shrek are on the lower end of things for what it is. That’s likely because of its poor gun depression, massive profile, derpy shell velocity (shells will just decide to go to Narnia despite .31 disp lol), and low alpha for a TD (AP and HEAT, not HE obviously lol). Ultimately, having great DPM doesn’t mean much if you can’t use it after all, which is why I actually wouldn’t recommend this tank to most people. It is undoubtedly a high-skill-ceiling tank.

How I miss the old HUD and end of game screen :(

This was back from when the 50t first came out from that earn op along with the T95E6 I think. This match was one of my first games in it, so it really solidified its place in my garage. I got the 3rd on it not too long after this, but I think that might’ve been after 6.0. Oddly, I actually don’t like the 50t as much these days since they changed it from 320 to 360 alpha. I honestly don’t know why since it should be better now if anything lol.

Last 2 games were on Erlenberg and Widepark lol…

The Erlenberg game was a complete disaster; my entire team camped on the slope where they spawned, didn’t push up, and got massacred…

I almost gave up all hope when I saw Widepark pop up, but I managed to pull an almost 6k direct match somehow lol. I got really lucky I was just ignored on the hill with the bushes while farming everyone.

Anyway, the 432 needs some love. At the very least, the nerfs it received on arrival need to be reverted. It’s slow and sluggish, wide and long, and lacks DPM to dish out direct when you need it to. I’ve had it since it came out and feel like every other LT I’ve played at this tier is better than it.

It literally stopped dead in its tracks at the start of the match and sat there for all game until it was killed. Even when it was taking fire, it didn’t move or shoot back. Maybe it’s not a bug, but an accurate depiction of how most players play lights…

She’s based on Japanese idol 守屋麗奈。 I’ve tried other hair styles with bangs, but can’t move on from the Hime Cut.

She’s based off of a Japanese idol, 守屋麗奈。It took a lot of back and forth between looking at reference photos and sculpting before I got a result I liked.

On another note, I’ve tried the other hairstyles with bangs, but none of them suit her as well as the Hime Cut.

The HE is seriously so good when you have the sides and rear of tanks.

I put off buying the 30B for years since I never saw a reason to play it. But good god, of the games I’ve played in it, every match has been a cap on encounter or complete annihilation within the first few minutes. I’ve never done so poorly in a Tier X before, even as a new player 10 years ago.

Oh, and I’m close to 30 games now, and I’m still sitting at a 30% WR LOL. I actually don’t understand why the matchmaker is consistently putting me in completely lopsided teams after so many battles.

I’m primarily a WW2 player, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I did not own a single autocannon tank prior to this. My only experience with ATGMs is with the 934, and that thing only has 4 mediocre ones, so my experience really was limited at best. The reviews I saw made the Bradley seem like a mixed bag too, especially its autocannon.

Obviously, the dual ATGMs are the highlight of the Bradley, but the autocannon absolutely should not be disregarded. 220 pen + 1385m/s is bad by CW standards, but it is still very usable against basically most of the tanks if you know your weakspots and have decent aim. I have consistently taken out tanks with it every game; be it a fast moving light or even a FV4211 frontally.

Anyway, I liked the Bradley enough to purposefully get the 3rd mark for it. It’s the only CW tank I have that I can say I truly enjoy playing it. Before getting it, I genuinely would never play my CW tanks unless I needed silver. Now, I actually play it for fun since I like the Bradley that much.

edit: clarification, the title is meant to be a Pentagon War reference lol. also, my comment on the stats of the shell is speaking relative to other guns since, as i said, i have no experience with autocannons.

I got the T-10 for the sole purpose of playing it unconventionally as a spotter. Its low-profile, strong turret armour, 500m view range, and decent mobility for an armoured heavy makes for a very good spotter that can get into aggressive positions and deny the enemy early game. It might just be my favourite TT tank tier for tier because of how flexible it is.

Also, stats breakdown for those curious lol. I’m considering writing a proper review for both tanks, so let me know if there’s any interest in that.

I believe both tanks were at 92% when I stopped playing. They both jumped up to 96% after the first match. I’m assuming the MOE formula was changed at some point?
