I change back and forth from time to time but I usually prefer the Konisch. I am obsessed with higher accuracy, higher rate of fire, and higher penetration using standard ammo. I only use the 88 when Im willing to load gold in it. People can complain about using gold but I dont feel overpowered using gold to get a gun with 171pen and 240 damage. That puts VK3601H/88 on equal footing with ARL44 and KV-1S.

I have 61% after 100 games with my VK3601H, all of them played with Konisch before it got nerfed ;)

The KV1S was never that good, it was hyped and feared, some people played it well, I tried but I found the accuracy was terrible and it wasn’t fun, however, some people seem to be able to shoot through the eye of a needle in it, but not me!

Same with hellcat, I never did well in that thing, but others do, strange.

Anyway the T34 premium looks interesting, what puts me off is that nearly evry premium I have bought has been rubbish in reality, premiums aren’t good tanks….

The only tier 6 premium I would still buy is the SU100Y, its like a tier 6 ISU 152, great fun!

Me and my 58.91% win rate in VK 30.01 (D) with 75 mm gun says hi.
I have never driven it with the 88 though.

But only if it’s bottom tier, in the spirit of arty. Never, ever, ever go for top tier heavies. Always go for what you’re most likely to one-shot. So instead of the tier 9 heavies, the tier 6 scout. Etc.

Yeah, the damage is still ridiculously high for tier 6, especially considering most lines won’t see that sort of alpha until tier 8.

However, 0.5 accuracy (I think that’s a nerf…) and 3.6s aim time put it on almost derp gun levels.

Honestly, if they kept the RoF and just gave it a nerf to say, 310/145 damage and pen. It couldn’t one-shot as many things that it sees, and heavier tanks would be able to bounce, instead of getting automatically penned.

This is one of the biggest things with the current 1S. the gun depression is ridiculous. It gave so much flexibility for working hills and terrain. It allowed you to sling those ridiculous instapen, one-shot shells without exposing your hull.

You will have to unlock it from the KV-1.

Don’t flatter yourself thinking I’d go that far as liking you or not. I was merely pointing out, that the “tard” is actually a very good player. A thing u can only dream about if your nick here and ingame is the same.
