3k damage as a tier 6 light tank in a tier 8 game? Im happy. T71 should be fun.
Oh and for those of you who don't know, the top gun in this tank has about 100 alpha.
I found T21 to be a fun tank, that sometimes got killed to fast, but fun back stabber. NOW! the T71 that is just a blast. There is pretty much nothing you cannot hurt with it, and it is both faster, and more agile then the T21. Get a heavy 1 on 1 and you can circle kill it without it getting a shot off at you in both forward and reverse. Just remember, never stop moving in it, and you will love it.
While trying to get a battle against the Wargaming teams in the Tank Company Frenzy event, we got pitted against the other Panzacs team.
It's pretty safe to say that a collective "Oh human body produced horticultural fertilizer, its Troz's team!!!" went through the minds of the members of SteelLegion's team - it definitely went through my mind, as I had been tasked with calling the battle for the first time since I joined Panzacs.
The battle plan was to put the mediums and the lights up north, to spot if they came over the hill or down at the railroad, while the lights could try to go autonomous after their arty if the north was clear.
The heavies were placed at the town to either defend/push, or provide fire across to the hills, depending on which direction Troz's team would be coming from. This plan was partly based on the map layout, but mainly on the knowledge of how agressively Troz normally plays.
It turned out to be a good call, as the mediums were in position to damage Troz's teams initial push, with the heavies in place to negate their advancing east of the town and take them out, while they were pinned there.
The lights hit their cap, getting their arty and capping, with the mediums crossing down to prevent anyone to double back. The heavies cleaned up the town push pretty well.
Zero losses on our team, pretty much to our amazement.

The members of the Panzac clan are easygoing nice people, although perhaps not exactly angels. When you are on the red team, you might even consider them demons.
So a paraphrasing of Markus 9:5 might become this in the Book of Panzacs : And when the red team asked "What is thy name ?"; He answered "For I am one; my name is Legion - Steel Legion"
9 kills and 8 achievements in the same battle is definitely not being angelic towards the opposing team.

I like the German tank "Luchs". Only a light Tier 4 tank, but fun to use because it so agile and does have a Tier 5 machine gun you can mount (not bad damage). Only problem though with it having a Tier 5 gun, that gets you put in battles against Tier 8 tanks at times (quite a lot really).
Wish the English heavy tanks was not so slow. Churchill 1 and VIII doing 25mph, the Matilda same also. And the A2 tank buster only does 20mph. Others countries do much faster like USSR "KV -1". I'm British and avoid their tanks mostly, but with the new update now they added the British Excelsior tank doing 35mph. But they only made it a gold purchase.
How does everyone like the 8.6 patch? So far only diff i really found was arty is less an issue, and my MAUS is once again a beast at bouncing shots. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x238/...b0362e.jpg
Just look at the possible damage on it this game where i held off 6 tier 10s alone for most of game till they finally figured to rush and crush me.
Being an artillery man is rather difficult, but when it comes to punishing idiots or people who do not retreat after a successful arty hit is still there, it bloody hurts.
My primary artillery piece is the M12, but I got the AMX 105 and the premium Tier V Le(whatever) both great arty pieces. The French artillery suffer the least since their damage has always been low, but the accuracy and reload has always been high.
