So I should just stick with L48 until I can grab the L70 (and then the 88)?
I had already researched the Konisch before I read your post .

Konisch is a horrible gun unless you are willing to use gold shells
compared to l48
slower rate of fire
lower dmg per shot
slightly better accuracy
higher aim time
better pen which helps but dont matter that much as good positioning and aiming for weak spots (also if you get engine before l70/88 you can offset lower pen by flanking)
I see . Thanks! Almost got the first engine and already grabbed suspension. Can't help with your Russian question though, hopefully one of the vets will :P.
I have bouth is-7 and is-4.
Is-4 is more for a random games while is-7 is for clan wars. You pretty much stock it with gold ammo (because of higher alfa and speed of a tank).
IS-4 = True heavy
IS-7 = Heavy-medium hybrid
Don't sweat the details!!!
I have played the game, awesome.
Folks, can anyone explain what the deal is with the second VK36 turret?
The tank only has the stock turret and the one you can (and have to) research. Let's call'em stocky and searchy.
Stocky's (VK3601H-StT) turning speed is 42 deg/sec and searchy's (VK3601H-GroßTurm) only 26 deg/sec.
Both have 100/80/80 armor and 370m View Range.
Also, stocky weighs 3800 Kg whilst searchy weighs 4600 Kg. Why on earth is the searchy so much worse than stocky? Am I missing something again?

The VK3601H's second turret gives you more health, the mantlet is more bouncy and, of course, allows you to mount the 88.
So I suppose it's only worth mounting the Großturm once I've researched the 88?
Yea, a bit :/. Still, fun to see them KV-1S folks raging because a medium solo'd them, so my love for the VK remains (really, the Tiger's suspension weakspot is bad, but how come people don't bitch about KV's? Just flank a little, hit the suspension in the mid section and they'll light up like a christmas tree).
because russians tanks are running diesel so fire chance is lower (15%) compared to german tanks
and well its KV fault to expose side while you cant do shit about front transmission in tiger

Thanks!
but
could you tell me a bit more about each branch as a whole please ^^? (starting at t7)
IS--- its ok tank, good gun, good speed not so much armored but stil good enogh
http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/IS
IS-3 --- stock guns suck, but once you get a IX gun you can do some serios damage...oh and btw, you cant angle armor on this tank because front is already angled
http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/IS-3
IS-8 --- is more like a medium tank, this tank has almost no armor but last gun (wich is a painfull grid changes everything)
http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/IS-8
:IS-7 (end line)
KV-3 very well armored heavy tank with strong gun (its slow btw). The downside is that this tank has a high chance to catch a fire.
http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/KV-3
KV-4 this tank has a weak gun at start and i recomend you just ram the enemys (it weights a lot) 175 pent is patetic on this tier..... once you get 107 mm ZiS-24 its better. I recomend you just use gold ammo shells on it. Its smiliar playstyle like kv-5 (long range sniper / rammer in close combat)
http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/KV-4
ST-I is just a little worser version of a is-4 your driver will die a lot i can tell you this. You have a good armor but not good enogh if you face tier 8 tds like ISU-152 with BL 10. This tank is more like a tank is wow. It holds away the mobs (noobs) while your friendlys (dps) help too kill them. It can easy be killed with a tier 9 mendium if he circles you too death.

@Descense
thanks, seems like im going IS7 branch ^^
@Hastings95
i guess in CQC vs tanks with high gun depresion if you are really afraid of lower plate penetration
but general rule of thumb: do not angle IS 3/8/7 as it lowers front armor effectiveness
and i have same habbit im angling all tanks because german three was my first ;p
