double the reload pace of the centurions which is still not too bad unless youve overextended by a lot
Hadn’t played them for a long time, last played 7.7 was years ago, played t-10A, maus, both are just better than conquerer in terms of stopping power, note that t-10a also has stab eventhough its single plane, so driving at full speed and immediately stop your gun don’t bounce at all. Maybe I’ll revisit them, but didn’t expect much since there is no damage model update or reload buff.
hopefully conqueror gets a rework and remodel. the extra armour should also cover some of the gun and the lower plate but that stabiliser shouldnt be there.
maybe 7.3 will get another tank to save FV4202 from its purgatory
That thing also has 6x zoom I think, this problem goes all the way up to 8.7 which the two chieftains also has this pathetic zoom, and then the ajax also same at 6x and it’s a 10.3. Only until the mk10 gets 10x which is outstanding for its br.
4202 also only gets a 6X which is not bad at all tbh, the ranges we get at these BRs isnt that extreme and the APDS is so rapid that the dropoff is a non issue for long snipes no matter.
youre forgetting the 8 ton champion of light tanks who also gets a 10X and has the gun to use it, Scimitar.
Can you guys please find the sekret doguments of ajax so it can magically gets a better zoom? jesus if it weren’t for the optic I would love that thing to death bro. It eats bmp2 for breakfast, bullies PUMA into submission and has plenty of armor against autocannons, just why 6x though like why
It has a digital zoom, which gaijin refuses to implement partly id guess as its another thing to leave russia in the dust with and because its a massive can of worms for to what level do we take the zoom before its just silly.
I dont see the issue with 6x. Im only on 1080p yet i can spot things a few KM out just fine (when the game remembers to render tanks)
If the target is long range, having weak zoom affects your reaction time and aiming time, you will entounter targets that you cannot pen frontally, then having high zoom level (puma at 15x) allows you to aim for the tracks and you do it within seconds, but can’t do the same when you are in the ajax with 6x as you only can aim the center as its the size of a pixel lol this thing is suprisingly armored when angled, it takes seconds even for bmp-2’s apfsds to finally find the weakest part of your armor, every head-on buys the ajax enough time to return fire and it usually take the ajax one or two hit to kill them.
its not like the tracks are in a different place on every vehicle. i dont see how zoom changes that
let’s drop the conqueror :slight_smile:
Bit of column A bit of column B. Also some of column C: it’s really, REALLY funny to use against Germany in a down tier. The Conqueror to me is like the Achilles in that your gun is objectively really good but you’re going to get scammed sometimes. It’s a mostly consistent round in my experience.
See I actually think the opposite. Pradesh is genuinely one of my favorite maps if I’m in the Conqueror because of the rangefinder completely offsetting the bad zoom in the fun sightlines. Remember to make sure your sniper view axes aren’t bound directly to the mouse wheel for optimal control.
These are outlier games even for me but I have done very well in CQC with the Conqueror. When you’re fully stabilized and can pen pretty much everything up close you can get away with some bullshit, especially with a reverse that’s as good as the Centurion’s.
ok the maus is also just an actual incarnation of volumetric as a game mechanic
As much as I adore the conqueror and love playing it, I will also be the first to admit that it’s an extremely flawed tank. Everything you said about it (with a minor disagreement about the round) is true and are legitimate downsides, but that’s what makes doing well in it so fun. I don’t blame people at all for not liking it, but I just vibe with it.
I mean they’re in the same place but it can be hard to even aim at them correctly with a bad zoom, it’s like the opposite problem to the Vickers 3 and I straight up would prefer that had the conqueror’s scope (the Vickers 3 would not be nearly as annoying if it had variable zoom but it’s like 10x exclusively so it’s really really annoying to use)
For short range targets yes, but when its over 800m, it takes you a lot more effort and more bullets spent to hit that spots compare to puma or bmps2, even the swedish pests are at 8x which is also bad but not ajax’s type of bad. If you give the bmpt a 6 x or 8x instead of 12x, they will stop being a menace at all range and its because of 12x it makes aiming so much easier even after they increase the bulelt spread. Play them altogether you will quickly notice how much easier to do one particular task compare to other.
That thing at pradesh is also funny, since I got the range pretty much memorized so I don’t even rely on using range finders to tell me the target range, so it has a secondary 75mm cannon with short barrel, I was able to arc the bullet and using the drop off to hit targets behind cover, while my Maus also stay completely hidden behind the cover like its doing indirect fire lol (but you need a custom sight to do this reliably.) but too bad the drop chance of pradesh for 7.7 is way too low, I think only full uptier to 8.7 you get them.
