I've been 15cm derping. Kind of nice in the sense that you can still get the damage while bottom tier. Certainly not my favorite heavy, but I like taking 340 hp from hull down Conquerors. LulCity
Agreed, I've tried smaller cal gun, but derp just does things better. Had a nice Mastery game in O-Ni with derp recently, shame I just finished grind for O-Ho, so O-Ni will have to go.
What about O-Ho? I know it's derp king, but is the gun same as O-Ni's? Aim time and reload time, loadout and stuff?
The 13. (Tiger) Kompanie, of Panzer Regiment Großdeutschland, reported on the performance of the 88 mm KwK 36 L/56, when their Tigers engaged the T-34: "First round hits were usually achieved at ranges between 800 to 1,000 meters. At these ranges, the Panzer Granate (they are referring to the PzGr. 39 APCBC ammunition) absolutely penetrated through the frontal armor, and usually still destroyed the engine at the rear of the T-34 tank. In 80 percent of the cases, shots from the same range hitting the side of the hull toward the rear of the tank resulted in the fuel tanks exploding. Even at ranges of 1,500 meters and longer, during favorable weather, it is possible to succeed in penetrating the T-34 with minimal expenditure of ammunition" (JENTZ, Thomas L.; Germany's TIGER Tanks - Tiger I and II: Combat Tactics; op. cit.).
3 MoE tanks: T-34, Pz IVH, Tiger I, Pz.Kpfw. T 25, M7, T-50
