  1. Fury is really just cannon fodder if they described it as something between the stock and elite E8. NA server sees very little E8s anymore, and sees more E2 Jumbos and Cromwells instead.

    • You find that strange ? E8 is crap. E2 can bounce quite a lot if driven correctly and Cromwell wtfbbqp0wns everything even two tiers higher anyway.

        • Cromwell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>………..

        • For me the E8 was crap, especially its teams. I played the E8 after the Cromwell and the VK30.01D and as far as I am concerned both perform far better. At this point I’ve played almost every T6 medium and the E8 just feels average and mediocre.

      • Yea, I don’t care for the US line in that area. Im really looking forward to the Firefly though.

        Hopefully we’ll get a real competitor to the 180/ alpha of the T34/85.

    • Well Jumbo Sherman is noob friendly because of of armor but I ilke playing Easy 8 more because of mobility.

      Seems like people think that armor will make up for their lack of thinking.

      • Give it historical size, armour, and depression and you will think again about mobility.

        • Well, i’m not a tank specialist, I can only tell how it performs as an in-game tank and for me it performs very well.

      • And the vertical stabilizer on tier VI tank… with adequate perks you can hit targets almost in full speed. It’s really good tank. As I said earlier, the only drawback is its MM.

        Personally I hate Cromwell, as I am totally lame in it ;)

        • What’s the point of hittling someone, if you have a gun, which is available on Tier4 tank, has a Tier5 penetration, but you have to play against Tier8?? German VK D/M or Russian T-34-85 have almost similar mobility but 2 times better guns and armor than E8.

  2. - in the new patch of WoWp, there is an option to select the hangar you want. It’s unclear whether this will come to WoT as well

    There’s already a mod for that.

    • The point is customisable hangars. People will pay good money for a hangar skin that they don’t have to fuss around with mods for.

  3. Biggest problem with the e8 is its crap gun. Low pen + meh accuracy is never a good combo.

    I have the fury, simply because it is a premium med that actually plays like a med.

  4. - the accuracy (hit) distribution (within aim circle) “won’t be possible to be called normal from mathematical point of view, the chance for a hit to the edges of the circle will be extremely small”, the distribution will apparently be reworked

    Im not quite sure but i think back in the beta they change it that more shots land in the middle of the crosshair, so its right that it will change back now or what?

    So in other words, it will drive like a AMX40. See german Heavy line (Panther, PantherII, E-50 sort of), they’re all abysmal slow compared to other meds or heavies.

    • Panther. slow. wat.

      I don’t know in what books 50km/h in a medium tank is considered slow. Certainly not “abysmally slow”.

      • ^^Are you stupid or just can’t read? 50 km/h means shit if the tank doesn’t have enough horses to get it there. Acceleration=/=top speed hence the AMX40 reference which has 50 km/h top speed but will never reach it unless you drop it out of an aeroplane. He also didn’t said Panther is abysmally slow, but it’s abysmally slow COMPARED to other mediums, which is true. That german “medium” line feels more like a heavy line with powerful engines. Source: I’m playing that line, currently at Panther 2 and it literally feels like a heavy tank, but with lots of horse powers.

      • There is a difference between max speed and the agility, as in realistic ability of accelerating to such speed in a combat situation (like on uneven terrain, up the slope, on soft terrain etc.) and the ability to maintain it during manoeuvres, that are an integral part of combat itself.

        German meds, with very few exceptions, are not very agile.

  7. -Storm states that when it comes to mobility, the Fury is similiar to the current M4A3E8 due to improved terrain resistance

    Terrain resistance
    E8 – 0.959/1.055/1.630 – 17.95ps/t :: 16.31ps/t :: 10.55ps/t
    Fury – 0.863/0.959/1.438 – 16.80ps/t :: 15.12ps/t :: 10.08ps/t

    This means the E8 has on hard 6.8%, on medium 7.9% and on soft 4.7% better mobility.

      • I know. I just made the calculations and posted the outcome what it means in ps/t on the different terrains.

        The E8 is better on hard by 6.8%, medium by 7.9% and soft by 4.7%. Hoipe you got it this time.

      • The E8 has the better mobility. The terrain resistances (sure they are better for the Fury) doesnt mean anything without to take the ps/weight into account.
