Alright kiddies it's time for Tech Tree Talk! After catching up with a certain @artyrambles I was inspired to talk about the American TD Line First! As a reminder I will only be giving my thoughts on Tiers 6 through Teir 10, lets get started!
The line itself splits at the Tier 5 TD Wolverine and starts converting into turreted and non-turreted TD lines (which isn't seen until the Tier 7s) boasting a powerful 155mm gun at the end of the lines.
M36 Jackson: A nice all-round TD, good armor, great gun, decent mobility and flexibility though be aware that your Turret Traverse speed will leave you wanting if you're not turning the tank as well. Don't side scrape in this thing, especially against tanks that you know have the same or larger calibers than you.
M18 Hellcat: You know what's better than a TD with a great gun? A TD with a great gun that makes some of the fastest Light tanks look slow. don't try to take sharp turns in it or try to brawl in this tank. sniping and guerilla fighting are this things forte.
T25 AT: Now its been a hot minute since I've played this tank and from what I remember it was fine TD. Good 105mm top gun, nice top speed and decent armor that could bounce if you used the 10 degrees of gun depression.
T25/2: I skipped this one because to me it was a bigger Jackson with better mobility and a better gun but worse armor. now if this thing actually got a 105mm gun like the AT things would be different. meh.
T28: The beginning of the THICC a glorious 254mm frontal armor and great 120mm gun making it a bane of the free to plays and gold spammers unless they go for the cupolas and even then, they'll be hard pressed to actually damage it frontally without trying to flank it. though have fun getting anywhere without a turbo charger.
T28 Prot.: I was very disappointed in this tank when I got it. 203mm of turret and frontal hull armor sounds great until you realize that its at a fuckin 85 degree A N G L E and the turret doesn't go 360... pos.
T95: The Doom Turtle a whopping 305mm frontal armor practically unpennable unless hitting weak points with gold and the earth shaking 155mm gun. slow AF have fun trying to get into the action unless you have a turbo. great fun pub stomper if top tier. the nerfs this and the E3 took did little to stop it being a fun tank.
T30: Use to be a heavy tank back in the day along with the T34 being a non prem... god I'm old... anyway. A better improvement over the prot. much better turret with a very very small spot on the top that can be overmatched with high calibers. 360-degree turret is always a plus especially when using the 155mm.
T110E3: the GOAT of the American TD line Armor? whack. Gun? whack. cupola weakpoint? Nah fam. faster than the T95 to boot and funny enough you can bait shots into your Lower plate if people are firing non-gold at you! though if you see one doing a dance i.e. going back and forth you can get a pen on the roof if you're fast enough and have a high enough caliber.
T110E4: an absolute joke. Trash turret Trash weak points T R A S H I CAN SHIT ON THIS THING FRONTALLY WITH A T8 LIGHT TANK FROM A FAR!!! The only thing this has over the E3 is the fact that its faster and can shoot around corners with out have to turn the entire tank with its ew 180-degree turret. pos
and thats that! if yall have any questions/want me to go over something particular hmu the ask box is always open!
I'll see you on the battlefield.
