[Hypersonic Steel]

wait, it punches through ufp? The t29 has failed for me

M50. One of the few US tanks that is decent and can kill things +1 BR completely stock.

[Hypersonic Steel]

yep, if he sees you first you have no chance of survival... rip is4

At least 50% of shots fail to kill, sure it will wreck the tank up but will not kill and then you are screwed with your long reload since they swap gunner faster then you can reload.

T32: Piece of ♥♥♥♥, good turret armor, thats about it

M42: Its an AA, might as well stick with the whatever that comes before it

M46: Horrid grind to HEATFS (a shelltype i hate with most of my heart), good speed and agility and reload, poor armor, 6/10 tank

M50: Heard great things about it, but the HEAT has a low velocity and HEAT just sucks in general. HESH is always nice but it only has 2 crew and i believe it gets murdered by aircraft and large caliber machine guns

T95: Its slow sure, but its great if you ask me. I do love my big, slow superheavies with great guns, but its not as good as its partner, the T28, due to there being more HEATFS overall in 6.0-8.0

Personally, i would go with the T32 simpoly for the reason you get access to the M103, whcih is one of the best tanks in the game if you ask me. Easiest stock grind ive ever had thanks to the 120mm super AP which can punch through the front of a T54 and T62 no problem and is large enough to one shot both of those and the plague that is the leo 1 and good armor and mobility. The T32 is PLAYABLE but its outclassed by everything else at that tier. But its goes to the M103, so its a necessary evil

Its HESH and HEAT are actualy stronger than normal ad they both have a lot more HE filler than comparable rounds. Plus you can rapid fire 6 rounds, one every half second. And its suprisingly resiliant to aircraft strafing runds, even against 30mm cannons. Its armor may be thin, but its heavily sloped and can stop quite a bit of HMG fire.

I would say the choice is really between the t32 and the m46, both have their advantages and disadvantages. The t32 is more of a sniper and the m46 is more of a flanker. So I would go with the one that suits you most. And I don't know what all this talk about the 120mm gun is about. It's a very good gun, rarely not one shoting. People that say AP is crap are wrong, at least for the t34 and the m103. They buffed those AP rounds and they do nuke despite the fact they have no HE filler.

[Hypersonic Steel]

ok. I will go for m46, then leave it alone until i get the t95 and the t32 because i have the advantage of premium highest isnt always best :D

[Hypersonic Steel]

i was thinking of integrating the m46 to my current lineup, but that completely wrecks my t29 with the chance of facing the t62 and such while there not being much 6.0 tanks in the game :D

M56 is useless with armour that only protects agaisnt moskitos, i play with m46 and do very well with it, for flanking 1 shot kills use m62shot, use the terrain to make spectacular kills with your mobility and gun depression, with good aim i 1shot russian tanks with heafts face to face(ammoracks), about m46 armour well you have decent reverse speed that can help you not get hitted...

Go for the M50, I'm currently grinding it, need around 2000rp. It is a great tank, but only usable in CQC. So use it as a early tank/ capturing bases.

But does it replace the M56, you may think so but no. The armor is pretty much the same (the M50 is closed so better against aircraft/artillery/mg) and the speed is too. But the difference is the play style, with the M56 you have to snipe because at CQC if you don't kill the gunner of the enemy tank his MG will end you, and the gun is very hard to control because of how much it moves while you are moving.
But the M50 can't be used on long range because it has 6 guns and those are pretty hard to control. It is much better in CQC because the enemy can't kill you with MG and you have 6 shots to kill him. The guns are also pretty accurate on move.


So in my opinion go for the M50.

Actually, they are very easy to snipe with if you are used to playing SB where all guns are not aligned to the sights.

thank you for the suggestions, I decided to get the m50, 20k rp into the research. If I am determined, I can get a Tier 4/Early Tier 5 tank in 1 day. bless premium xD

[Hypersonic Steel]

I can't really use the M56 long range tbh :P the sights are complete crap. i mostly use it as a secondary vehicle in city maps to rush in and kill heavy targets like jagdtigers or the occasional maus. the t29 is more of a brawler/1v1 master.
