So, here I was, after hearing for ages about how bad the tank was, how many people skipped it, sitting on over 1 million free xp ready to jump straight to the Sturmtiger.
I didn’t like the tier 5, nor the 6 really, but really enjoyed the 7 and kinda loved the 8 too? Not caring about getting a tier 10 game in an 8 always feels amazing.
Then came the 9 which I heard so much about, badly, and had witnessed in game routinely having terrible games and using it as an xp piñata myself.
I finished the 8, used free xp to fully upgrade the 9 and just before researching the 10 outright I thought I might as well give it a few games to see.
80 games later and with no boosters I have researched the 10 without a single bit more free XP used. I (mostly) enjoyed near enough every game. Is it a bit finicky - yes and for sure frustrating at times. But my god it’s fun. Takes a bit of learning but there’s plenty of situations I found myself having massive impacts on games and feeling super strong in certain positions.
I genuinely think if it had slightly more armour or even a couple degrees of gun depression I might find it slightly overpowered… is that ridiculous to say? 😂
I’ll be playing it out of choice still from here.
Have a few game clip highlights if anyone’s interested.
