Well we got a five star artillery on research and it's once again the grossly inadequate GW Tiger.

How is she inadequate ?

Personally she is better than the last Arty chan we got. Aint no Seren, but its better then the previous thats for sure.

Apparently ppl don't like her cause she's "not as good as zoya", and that makes her "bad".

Yep. Except, y'know... replace the words you put into my mouth with actual points like how she's only has a blast radius of four, and has a weak as hell damage output for her deployment cost. The FV3805 beats her on both points.

First, I never said those are your words, I just quoted some discord ppl. Second, FV has blast radius of 5, which is imo not that big for 5* arty too; also, define "damage output" please.

I think there's no point in comparing those two as they have different skills (fill different roles) and both are inferior to Diane and Zoya.

I picked GW when she showed up in research for the first time and i like how she performs so far.

For additional consideration: I don't have either, but I have to pay attention and engage countermeasures when GW Tiger shows up on the other side. FV, not at all.

A blast radius of five covers 1.56 times the area of a blast radius of four. That's a not-inconsiderable increase.
Damage output - The amount of damage a tank puts out. Per gear cost, the GW Tiger puts out 38.6 dps. 36.24 dpspg for a SU-14-1, 44.475 for a FV3805, 46d for the T-92, 79.93 for the M8 and, to be fair, 28.8 for the S-51 and 20ish for the Panzerwerfer and Katyusha. The Panz and Katy have much more destructive and versatile actives though, and the S-51 has a stupidly huge blast radius that effectively bypasses defensive counters.

The other way of looking at that is that there are countermeasures against a GW. Sure, it's attention grabbing when a tank knocks a chunk of damage off at once so you learn to throw up a defensive active to shrug it off. A stun? It's still a stun. Six seconds of the enemy having complete freedom to step all over you while you do no damage and any active skills you had going burn out. The GW's active is still effective against the AI mostly because the AI always uses it's actives immediately as they become available.

So 'grossly inadequate' is too harsh, probably? It still seems more like a pretty okay four star tank with a five star tank's skill.

My first legitimate factory 5* rolled off the assembly line yesterday and it was IS-7. How does she compare to IS-3?

IS-3 is a bit tankier and has lower range so she is better as heavy.
