1. it will be damn slow..

   • It could reach 35 km/h

     • down hill with back wind

2. Oh man, the detracking…….

   • russian version of chuchil? or the british version of Grote?:D

     • The Grote predates the Churchill by almost 10 years

3. They should still do it, be damned the multi-turret whiners.

   • Forget the multi-turret! Give me the damn Tonk :]]

   • There’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t treat it like the top turret of the M3 Lee.

4. Would actually make a great T2 if they finally implement the Multi-Turret mechanism, it does not even look that ugly as the other pre-war multi-turret soviet tank designs. I suppose the rounded shape of the turret and especially the tumor will also make for a few low-caliber bounces. As it also does not look like an especially speedy vehicle, I suppose they will either give it a good gun (current one looks adequate, at least the one in the turret) or even strenghten the armor beyond historical limits.

   • Great tier 2? With that mobility and a 76mm gun? This is tier 4-5 stuff.

     • Well, let’s just say super-duper T2 or adequate T4 :D

       OK, T5 at max, with better armor than the one in the linked article.

     • Tier II with special MM so it only sees tier 4&5?

       It could work!…
       … why are you looking at me like that?

       • Yea, and with a 15,2 cm ML-20 pls.

   • It would be nice to see this balanced as a Tier 4. That way the USSR tree would have a Tier 4 heavy. With the B1, B2 and DW2 as current Tier 4 heavy’s it could fit in nicely i think. Also we already have Churchill 3 and KV-220 as Premium tier 5 Russian heavy’s. Plus we have the KV-1 & KV-1S at tier 5.

     • The only problem is that it’s a one-off tank that frankly just doesn’t fit as a regular vehicle. As a premium, it could work, but if the Soviets were to have a tier 4 heavy, the best option would be the T-35 (possibly as an optional side-grade from the T-28).

5. xmas gift please?

   • +1 good idea

6. Damn,it will not be in the game but I think this tank can become a good gift tank and it can be at least better than the T7 Combat Car,Te-ke,Vickers and LTP.

   • The T7 combat car is avesome. With the crew at 100% it is one of if not the most enjoyable tank in game. It can take on anything within its tierspread, including T18 sealclubber *pros* that on several occasions yelled in chat “cheater“ or “gold noob“ not knowing this thing can not load any gold ammo XD. A platoon of 3 can roflstomp most opposition in its path without stopping to aim.

     Enter a match in the T7 combar car = instant joy.

     On the other note,,, Grote is tier 4-5 candidate so it is very unlikely it would becomne a gift tank if implemented in game.

     • I see

       • You do know its pen was buffed since they gave it out, right? That made all the difference. It’s still fragile, but it’s still fun when you want to go blow off steam.

   • Te-Ke is practically a nerfed Ha-Go. And LTP is actualy quite rewarding to use. Sure your accuracy is terrible since the gunner runs on vodka+kvas but i’ve done some nasty killstreaks with it.

     • Te-Ke has a FAR better camo. I have a 90% camo skill on it and nobody sees me.

7. Don’t see why they can’t balance it like the M3 Lee

   • The only reason I can see is that the Grote’s useless turret is sitting on top of its main one. Shouldn’t really make a difference, so I’m wondering if there isn’t other issues at play.

8. Don’t see what the issue is, we have the M3 Lee, so y not just make it????

9. Just make both guns shoot the same target… the small MGs dont matter anyway

10. The tank looks good. Think about the M3 Lee or the Churchill 1, both has unusable guns, which are not small. WG could really implement this tank in to the game.

11. “Introducing multi turret/gun mechanisms would be a waste of resources and there are barely any tanks to even use it.”

    Pffffffff
    I believe this statement has become obsolete…
    Just do it already WG.

    • just like how wowp is a waste of time? lol

    • Answer is simple. Try to think up of a way to allow you to shoot 2nd gun without fucking the control scheme and raising the whiners. Also keep in mind that not everyone has mouses with 9 macros. (Mine has 2 but i use one for clip reload)

      • For this one it’s easy. Since one turret is on top of the other and the 37mm will reload faster than the 76, just have them aim at the same spot and have the 37 fire whenever the 76 does. You don’t even really have to make it a true multi turret, just one gun shooting two shells like the MGLS

12. I need those wheels on my T-34 ._.

13. Maybe… WG could stop screwing around and just offer up multi-gun already? I mean there’s plenty of tanks in the game already that could use it (Lee, Maus, Churchill I, E-100, AC48, JgPE-100, etc), and so many in the mothball stage that could be there should they make it work.

    To be honest, I have no problem with the idea of left click for main gun, right click for auxiliary gun, and shift the original right-click feature to the CTRL button or something .

14. I don’t care about stats. It looks lovely :3
    Could be a mission reward.

15. I AM GROTE!

16. Why can’t WG AI the turret like they do with rear gunners in WoWP? The player has control over the main guns. Unless the AI process bombs out the game engine is the only reason for not doing so.

17. So multiturret mechanic is scrapped completely? As far as I know it was “only” postponed into indefinite future.

18. FFS, multi turret mecanism was promised when the french tanks were previewed. When was that? 3 years ago?

    I honestly think I’ve never seen a company as amateurish as WG. The fact that they could pull out such a great game despite being so crappy developpers is unbelievable.
