Here's where I got my info from.

Translation from Reddit

What's told in the video:

General:

You get messages when someone you are spotting gets damaged/killed. (to clarify that you get exp/credits for it)
You can 'unlearn' your crew's skills.
The 'better' skill, the less gain it gives (the example given: accuracy on move skill will give just couple percent accuracy, but skill against fire will give 25% increase)
4 skills @ 100% is ~1000 battles

US Heavies:

Both US heavies have 'the Patton feeling' (mobility/speed/accuracy on move) (if you have driven Patton, then you will understand)
Both US heavies have quick aim time and good accuracy on move
Both US heavies use same gun. 269mm penetration, 400 damage. (T34 = 248mm/400dmg) (T30 = 276mm/750dmg)
M103's turret can be penetrated frontally (except gun mantlet)
T110's top-frontal plate has insane angle, so it's almost unpenetrable
T110's commander's tower is 200mm thick

Stuff that wasn't talked about, but can be seen:

US heavy gun's gold ammo = HEAT
Reload time is 9 seconds for M103 (chronometer used) [9:22 in video], so it puts DPM at about 2666 (T34 = ~2620 DPM)
Reload time is 8 seconds for T110 (chronometer used) [8:47 in video], so it puts DPM at about 3000 (T30 = ~2730 DPM)
One loader. So dead loader = very long reloads.
M110 has 1900 health
T110 has 2200 health

This is only the interesting part.

Also for the record I didn't even grind up to the AMX 13 75, I just free XPed that shit. So I really have no fucking clue what I'm doing. Just running around trying to flank shit then run like hell.

Its a problem of scale, a solo french medium/heavy is fine and balanced. No armor, mean gun. Its when you get 3 batchat's in a platoon that is "game over man, game over!"

Can say that about a lot of tanks. Like the T-54.

**Night** · 2012-03-06

Sidenote, just got the SA50 for my AMX 13 75. Three games later I go 4 kills and Sniper on Ensk.

The kills were a Jagdtiger (ran around a building block so I could shoot him in the ass and then ran the other way when he noticed me, somehow he never wised up), a Pershing, a BDR G1B, and Lorraine40t.

Dear god, this tank is incredible.

**Eskalin** · 2012-03-08

wait till you are in the 13 90. cue evil laugh

Neat mod so far, it slowly changes from day to night during a match. Only used it for 2 matches now but still quite interesting, and didn't notice any performance issues.

**Galtiner** · 2012-03-09

Public testing for the 7.2 patch is now on with 15k free gold and a 10x modifier on credits and XP to make grinding a little easier (on the test server, not the main one!)
Time to give the new US heavies a try

If you are a beta player or where around when the server split there's a good chance your account on the test server will be suspended and can't access. This ofc is for those on the NA server.

**Galtiner** · 2012-03-09

Yup that's me

**Konev** · 2012-03-10

M103 is shit and the T110 is lackluster.

T30 has been returned to its original own machine self, it can now snipe across the map with the gun'o'doom. going to be playing with it more than the T110 at this rate

T110s states are not final. They stated it should be getting a buff before the tests end. I don't know how it actually does since my test account is suspended but looking at the current stats its worse in every category to the IS-7 other then ROF(and 9 more pen). The M103 comparing it to the IS-3 is only marginally better which is sad cause its comparing a T9 to a T8

.

**Finiks** · 2012-03-10

They better buff T110 as this is just too weak for Tier X tank, it feels more like a tier 9 medium and T30 is still a better tank.

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2012-03-10

Heard the T30 is actually quite nice in its new TD role. Anyone try it out yet?

**Finiks** · 2012-03-10

If i could only connect to a bloody server. Been in queue for past 50mins.
I did however played one short game with it last night and as i said it feels better than new tier X still. :<

**Finiks** · 2012-03-10

Ok yeah, pretty much confirmed after i played some more this afternoon, new Tier IX and X are pretty much useless for clan wars, in random battles you'd be able to do smt as long as you say aside.
Turns all right but its just too frikin slow, gun has nice RoF but overall dmg and penetration are meh..., regarding armor, well i noticed it dings way more often than T30/T34 did so i guess it's an improvement.

Regarding T34 and T30 - they're still good tanks. Turret turns a bit slower on T30 tho and has a lot less HP but still nothing can match that gun. \o/

**Konev** · 2012-03-10

only noticeable nerf with the T30 is the turret rotation has been slowed and the slight drop in horsepower. as mentioned before, the gun has had its accuracy and dispersion improved a lot, you have now make successive hits across the map, combined with its ability to still hulldown its going to be better than the T95 in any non city map. in effect, its one ripper of a T9 TD that will make the 704 and J-tiger owners cry.

**Finiks** · 2012-03-12

Still T95 has better ROF for some reason, altho T30 has more crew members and with that an extra loader. :S

An extra loader indicates you had to pass the shell further, not that you have two dudes standing next to both ammo and gun. It makes sense, if you have two loaders, that it takes longer to load the gun.

**Finiks** · 2012-03-13

Why does IS7 reload faster than IS4 then? Same gun but extra loader on IS7. oO

**Galtiner** · 2012-03-13

The T30 gets much better mobility than the T95 so the T95 gets a slightly higher ROF to help make up for its terrible speed. It has nothing to do with extra loaders, it's all about game balancing.

Because the devs are whores for Russian tanks?

**Konev** · 2012-03-29

server going down at 0800 UTC for 7.2 patch. it has made Q1 2012 by a matter of hours.

Best Aprils Fools(2 days early) joke ever. Most just do fake patch releases, WG does a joke of a patch.
The best part is the IS4/IS7 are going to be the size of T-59s, and US heavies are a joke.

**Night** · 2012-04-01

So they released a Ratte and some multiple rocket launchers today and they're pretty awesome-

I kid. But they did actually do the patch. They realized that the T5E1 is not a Tier 9 gun finally and demoted it to Tier 8, they decreased the XP and credit grind for a number of tanks (I can grab my E-75 early). Still learning the new maps.

The M103 is not the disaster it's been reported to be. My front hull was actually capable of bouncing fire from Tier 9s, as was the front turret, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Word on the new Turreted TD line to follow.

**Galtiner** · 2012-04-01

I can't play the game at all with the new patch

. The loading screen doesn't disappear on about half the maps after it is finished loading, I can hear the battle going on over my speakers but can't play. So far no responses/fucks given from the devs on their forums and support tickets (I'm not the only one to be having this issue).

Happened to me a while back, the only solution AFAIK is to completely reinstall from a new download.

**Galtiner** · 2012-04-13

Early stats for the top IS-4 gun when it moves to tier 10

Looks pretty good I think, sort of a midway between the IS-7 and T110 guns.

he is damn good at what he is doing (sometimes). this one is much better than his eve business report. it may actually succeed in making some people very mad

**Night** · 2012-04-13

It would be more interesting if he had anything in the way of proof to offer, instead of a single long anecdote.

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2012-04-13

It also seems like he is fixated on K:B ratio and win%. Getting kills isn't everything nor does it dictate you as being good or not. Hell I've seen shitty ass players have a lot of kills, but that's just because they only fire on shit they know they can get the kill on. It was a interesting read but too much tinfoil.

**Konev** · 2012-04-13

trying to toll up free XPing my way to the KV3 to get the new tanks or not. might stick with original plane and go for E75 :|

**Galtiner** · 2012-04-16

Tried to arty Konev today, but he kept hiding in town

**Konev** · 2012-04-16

tried to kill you but was beaten to it

**Galtiner** · 2012-04-20

Anyone else playing on the 7.3 test server? The new IS-8 is baller as fuck, pretty much an IS-3 on steroids.

Attachment 2836

**Finiks** · 2012-04-23

Oh yeah, my new favorite tank is IS-8. Same gun as IS-4 but way much more fun.

And shit man, that gun is seriously OP. Oo

**Night** · 2012-05-12

The new China map is an exercise in who climbs hills better. Or, rather, who shoves all their heavies along the flat top area better. The other one I've played so little of I have no idea what to say about it.

I hate those little step-fields on the china map because you go down a hill thinkiing "aww yeah 72 km/hr" and then slam into an edge before getting your A-20 instaed.

**jimmychrist** · 2012-05-12

I haven't played any since they redid the skills. How should I respec, what's good?

Clutch Braking, Sixth Sense, Eagle Eye, Off-Road King, Snap Shot, and the other one that stabilizes your gun are all pretty amazing. Brothers In Arms is also another 5% to all skills.

**jimmychrist** · 2012-05-12

Obrigado!

Those only take effect once that skill reaches 100% though.

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2012-05-16

With the new skills one way to do it is, train any perk(skill that requires 100% before active) as your first skill, then do passive skills later on(repair, camo, etc). Since it takes less time to train your fist skill and the passive skills seem to improve every 25%. If you do this however make sure you get a toolbox as equipment, or else its going to suck.
