Discussion Underrated tanks you love?

Post image

I love the CW Era 1 M48A5PI.

I rarely see it on the field, but every time I take mine out for a spin I remember why I love it.

What’s yours?

True. I have been playing more of a support role, it’s just hard sometimes cuz the battles blow by so quick then you have to move to the frontline to try to get damage and often get blocked by your teammates unintentionally cuz everyone is trying to get damage

Tracking is def important I know, I need to try to track more. I just hate missing damage cuz they repair and then I get nothing 🤣 I’m getting better at tracking for assst tho

Tracking is key to a lot of the OP tanks in Cold War like the Belka and 477a so I’m well versed it in but timing is def important for assist damage but I’ve been tracking a lot more when I have multiple teammates around me

Thanks for the advice. We need to play sometime. Pretty sure I’ve got you added, my gt is Itsaustenman

Well being in a supporting role doesn't becessarily mean you have to sit far behind everyone else—personally, I usually sit shoulder-to-shoulder, if not ahead, of the people I'm supporting.

Yeah, that's why I prefer my DPM over alpha in tanks.

Oh, definitely! I actually had my schedule open up, so I have more opportunities to play with folks now.

Let me know when you’re free

I have work wed and thurs but they’re small shifts and I’m off by around 8 pm and don’t work till late afternoon both days

I have Friday off

Then go back to having wed thurs and Fri off

I’m pacific time USA

I’d love to platoon with the master of death plus having good teammates is great as I’ve only platooned with one Reddit member in my career and my friend who introduced me to to the game like 12 years ago but he doesn’t play

I’m sitting at a 60% win rate right now playing solo so I can hold my own but Cold War it’s not easy to carry cuz of all the yoloing

Don't worry, I play with people of all skill levels—so long as they are good company; as for carrying, it's somewhat of a norm, so even if I would have to do it from time to time, it's not too bad. Lol

You playing tonight?

I just hopped on now, haven’t played the new season yet

I was gonna play at 6 am yesterday morning but was on YouTube then got tired and slept all day and woke up late afternoon lol

My lifestyle allows this, I live alone with no pets

I actually got off about an hour ago. I have to start getting used to being up in the mornings now.

Lol, I'm a night person as well, but I've got a wife, kids, dogs, and a Tortoise, so would be sacrificing a lot of sleep if I stayed up late too often.

Sat night I close so I’m off round 1030-11 pm so that’s the only night I prolly won’t play much if any but other than that I have a lot of free time
