Not all stock are a pain. Leapard sure, but it gets gear fast. That french tank is a harsh grind. I am actually playing my KV as a KV1 with 76MM and having a ball. Cannot wait till they devide KV1 KV2 and change the MM for them.
This is typical MM for the ARL-44. No need to watch entire match. I got off 2 bounces, then 1 shot dead. But look at MM, and explain how you get exp with a 110MM penetrating gun. We won the game because we mauled arty, but my tank was useless.

I never liked the Chaffee all that much. Sold it after about 30 games. Did not like getting 2 shot killed almost every game because of a lucky track hit. They die in seconds to skilled players/gunners.
I am now facing horrible grind. Just got my IS4, and 4 games in a row my team sucked big time. 2-4 kills each game, and all losses except for 1 draw. 1 game i got 4 kills, team total was 6 after loss.
Stock IS4 was a pain to me too. A combination of your own weaknesses (BL9 is a great gun, but it has a really hard time with the E75) with the team. For some reason, I also seemed to be getting mostly incompetents. Before I researched the S70, my winrate was something like 38%...woeful. With the good gun, it's awesome. I still think, however, that the E75 is superior. The IS4 has way too many frontal weakspots (lower hull -while the E75 one bounces regularly, if angled-, driver's hatch, both sides of the front, about where the forward lights would be placed if it had it).
Sadly I didn't survive in the end, but I think I did very well overall.:) How I survived against that T20... I'll never know.
Oh, I adore my Chaffee, its such a lovable tank! Its small its agile, its plucky! It never expects to win but it puts its heart into it anyway! Or is that the driver? Meh.
Fletch, if you like the Chaffee that much, I truly suggest you try out French lights. I was skeptical at first, since I really loathed the 12t, but I bought the AMX 13 75 today. And it's made of pure win. Give it a try, you won't regret.
