Best Free Monster

From the 3 sets of tanks up for grabs. Which do you think is the
best in each set and then the best and most fun over all folks?
Is the Lycan actually much different to the T71...

For my money, the Lycan is identical to the old T71, before the
split into two T71's. Actually, I don't know the difference
between the T71 CMD versus the T71 TACO, or whatever the other
one is called. Either way, the Lycan is fantastic if you are
comfortable with light tanks. Good, not great silver generator.
The Revenant is basically a not-top-gun Panther, the Tier VII
German medium (it has the L70, not the L100 7.5cm); in fact, the
gun is identical to the premium-matchmaking Panther/M10. So
limited to a Tier VI gun, without the premium matchmaking, on a
tier VII medium. In many situations could be a better silver
generator than the Lycan.
Myself, if I didn't mind the L70 gun on my Panther, I'd go for
the Panther/M10, and get the premium matchmaking, but that
really isn't on the table I guess... ;)
So Lycan versus Revenant? Easy call for me: Lycan.
The Kaiju is a premium version of the Japanese Tier VI heavy,
the O-I, but limited to the 10cm gun. I have the Kaiju and I
prefer the 15cm gun on the O-I, so the lack of it on the Kaiju
aggravates me. :) It doesn't get premium matchmaking, but the
gun is classified as a Tier VII gun, so really, its not a huge
hardship. The speed is not great, and it is a huge target, with
troll front armor, but TOG-II-like slab sides that are easily
penetrated. Played right, it can be blast, and if its top tier
and the circumstances are right, it is a holy terror.
The Gorynych is another premium version of the Soviet Tier VIII
premium heavy tank, the KV-5. I have the KV-5, and like it a
great deal; the armor is troll, pretty much from all angles, and
with the premium matchmaking: you never have to shoot at Tier X
tanks. Which is good, since the penetration of the standard
rounds on the KV-5 gun (ZIS-6), is actually a little less than
the Kaiju 10cm, but both are classified as a Tier VII gun. Top
tier, and played right, it is a terror, especially on a limited
mobility map (like Ensk, or Himmelsdorf); no one wants to fight
a KV-5 in tight quarters. Little known fact: the KV-5, as an
80-ton tank, is a fearsome rammer: I will _always_ make a ram
attack on an enemy tank down a slope.
Kaiju versus Gorynych? Personal preference, really. Though if
you don't have a premium matchmaking Tier VIII, and everyone
should, then the Gorynych is decent choice.
The silver earning potential of the Gorynych will be higher than
the Kaiju, simply because of the tier difference.
The Hollenhund is a German premium variant of the American M41
Bulldog: a painted version of the leKpz M41 90mm ; both are Tier
VIII light tanks. The gun on the Hollenhund is actually better
than the top gun on the American M41. All the usual light tank
goodness of the Bulldog, with a better pen gun and higher alpha
damage. Literally nothing not to like.
The Dragon is a Chinese premium variant of the already premium
Type 62 light tank; comparing the Type 62 to the other
tech-tree Tier VII Chinese light tank, the WZ-131, the Type 62
has a buff'ed version of the starting WZ-131 starting gun, the
85mm. The rate of fire is roughly 11 rounds/min, versus the
WZ-131 ROF of 9 with the same gun. So all the usual light tank
goodness of the WZ-131, with a better rate of fire (but less
pen/alpha, and somehow better aim time). Again, nothing not to
like in comparison. A top-package WZ-131 has better pen and
alpha, and slightly faster, but the DPM on the Dragon is higher
(assuming all rounds pen).
So Hollenhund or Dragon? Purely personal preference; they are
both somewhere between good and fantastic. :D I guess its a
question of which fits better in your garage: tier VII versus
tier VIII, German versus Chinese.
Just my three kopecks... :superdrunk:

Carl is it true that most shark attacks occur in less than 3
feet of water about 10 feet from the beach?

Great summary Drakona. I have a T71, O.I, WZ131 and Bulldog so
tempted with the Gorynych. Loved my old Bulldog with the auto
loader, but I guess the Hollenhund does not have this either.
May sell one of these though and swap it for the monster
version. Cheers
