I play it with my brother and a few friends occasionally. Most common thing we do is all driving StuGIII's or what we like to call a "StuGgle"

Dictionary definition to StuGgle:

1. A small patch or group of StuGIII's: "Watch out for the StuGgle behind that hill."
2. A struggle with StuGgles or against StuGgles: "einstein was the author of the book "Mein StuGgle".

Yes, we like StuG's.

Agreed, STUGIII was hilarious to play, good mobility, good cannon, nice looks as well.

Got really into it, got to tier 7 or so, even bought premium. Then completely lost interest as I had a revelation on how it was nothing more then one big grind. And yes I know c-RPG is as well, but at least here skill matters and there's varied builds. What made me lose the will to play WoT is the fact that it comes down to nothing more than who has the better tank or who is the higher tier. Sure there's a few exceptions, but far too often I found myself in a situation where I simply had to accept death as the tank I was up against simply outclassed me too heavily.

Playing it for over a year already, got an E-50, JagdPzIV, T25/2, Churchill and so on.

But the higher you get, you can't really play without buying a Premium Account.

Specially with E-50, you even lose money with premium account when you get destroyed.

Oh dear, this has gone deep into the abyss here...

Oh well, been playing this since 2011, had a long break inbetween, got back into it last summer, somewhere around 5k battles, got a Maus, on my way to T110E4 (TD) and E100 (2nd German Heavy) as well as GW Typ E (Tier 8 Artillery). Additionally, I was elected to be the clan leader of the subclan of the Schwere Panzerabteilung 503, which is a successful Clan-Wars clan and is able to hold several regions on the European part of the World Map, which is kind of the Elite. ^^

It is very much skillbased. You can't just run straight to the enemy and hope to survive more than 20seconds in a game. The most fun you'll have in a platoon of 2-3 people, as you can run several tactics, take cover behind your friends when you're low-hp, focus fire much better and generally have a lot more success than when driving alone with 14 random players.

Khorin: Depending on the enemy player of course, one can still manage to outskill a higher Tier enemy. I managed to almost singlehandedly kill a King Tiger (tier 8) and a Premium tank T34 (Tier 8) with my IS (tier 7). It's a lot about angling your tank correctly so the enemy will bounce, drive behind cover quickly, always face the front to the enemy (best at an angle, s.a.). Most Solo-Players on WoT are a bit noobish and don't know the basics about Angling, Weakspots, Aimingtimes, Reloadtimes and all that.

If anyone is interested in learning some more, feel free to contact me :)

Great game for a free game, have been playing it quiet intensively lately.

At the moment i own a pzkpfw 4, Panther, JagdPanther and a Easy Eight. Tbh the Tier 5-7 range seems most fun to me right now.
Easy Eight is probably the coolest tank i have ever seen in that game.

I hope to advance further in the german medium tree to end up with a E50M and maybe the sexy Leopard 1 if they eventually add it. Heavy tanks arent really my kind of tanks, i used to have a KV3 but i sold it eventually. And honestly tank like the Jagdpanzer E100 just cant be fun, just a destruction platform, nothing more. Thats why i like sticking in the lower tiers.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Lansamur on February 15, 2013, 11:47:09 am
Leo-1 not before end of Summer.

Well, you could say the same for almost any t10 Tank Destroyer, except the T110E4, which has 180° turn range for the Turret. No other TD has a separated turret. And if played well, the JPE100 is one hell of an enemy. 1000dmg average is quite a punch in your face, even when you're sitting in a Maus with 3000hp (highest HP-Pool ingame so far). Put 2-3 of those together as a well working team and you can own just about every match.

Yeh, lower tiers are probably the most fun, although there the Russian tanks are probably most OP due to their damage output (at least the heavies). But I kind of like sticking to at least Tier 8, as those tanks have the most potential for improving your skills. From T8 on you can actually try out angling and most of the other fun stuff, as the HP-Pool is high enough to let you last a bit longer than in lower tiers.

Though, some Tier 8 are pretty useless, Panther II for example, was sometimes fun playing with that one but against other Tier8 tanks it doesn't have a chance.

E-50 is fine for me atm, even though I don't have the best gun and engine, they cost around 60k each, takes some time to get that.

Also played with the Churchill VII, may have a good armor-rate, but the guns are useless against higher tiers, even the Black Prince doesn't seem better.

Post by: [ptx] on February 15, 2013, 12:04:55 pm
I'm still stuck at tiers 5-7, probably because i own some 10+ different tanks in different trees from every nation, spreading my playing time pretty thin amongst them.

PzII (i still own it, with crew at 100% and first skill at 90%, with some added equipment) and Covenanter are still my favourite tanks, with perhaps T1 HT taking the third place.
I do love assaulting and these tanks are just perfect for that.

I have like 20 different tanks. Got a King Tiger which is so boring to play I'd rather facedesk for 10 minutes than play it. Then I have a Type 59 that my friend bought me for my birthday last year. Probably to troll me :D

It's pretty fun, though. My favourite tank is StuGIII. It's the greatest thing ever. Ever.

I mean, it's a classic Def-Tank... but boring? I never once had a boring game in it, and I'll keep it in my garage even though I got the E-75 now (which is even better imo). Average XP on KT is around 730, so I'm not doing too bad. :p Again, it's all about how you use it, not about how fast you can die in it. :D

Not a big fan of Autoloaders... neither with having them nor as my enemies. :D Usually trying to ammorack them before they get more than 3 shots into me. Means I got pretty much only 1 try, but hey, whoever said it's an easy game :D

Post by: Latvian on February 15, 2013, 03:01:47 pm
i have panther and i am pretty close to GTX because i get thrwon agaisnt tier 9 so damn often and i jsut cant do anything to them since it takes avarage 10 or  even more shots to kill tank. Stug was pretty fun , but i got jagpanzer now and it is also fun, pretty low tank it is hard to hit compared to some other tak destroyers, jsut imagine fun i will have with ferdinand  jsut standing like a boss and nobody cant penetrate me from front  :)
Also i got hummel which is pretty easy mode, my record is doing 999 damage on IS with a single shot. As well i have amx elc  which is pretty much of a troll tank, i just run around and maybe destroy some weaklings or arty, city maps are most fun with tha one since i lure through buildings and hide like  a boss.Ad ofcourse kv 1S shity armor and less hp than any other heavy tank but one damn powerfull canon.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: donib on February 15, 2013, 03:23:59 pm
Dont quit on the panther, i dont know if you have the l100 gun, but if you do have, play as if you are a tank destroyer. Averagely I kill 3-4 tanks every round with panther, the gun is just really sick.

For me Jagdpanzer was ok, i used the l70 after the buff instead of the 88, i though the accuracy and penetration were more important than the damage, but jagdpanzer 4 isnt really special or unique.

I have jagdpanther now, a pretty solid TD, but due to the increase of the tank size, it is much harder to remain hidden in bushes as you are used to with the lesser tanks. Honestly not really interested in the later tier tank destroyers, but if i were to carry on, i would go with the jagdpanther 2, think the mobility is more important that the armor, especially in higher tier battles.

Easy Eight is simply the coolest tank i have now, with 100% crew, vert stabilizer, gun lay drive and a rammer, the thing is soo damn good on the move, very agile and accurate and can turn enemy tanks to scrap in seconds. I have unlocked the T20 and the M36 Jackson but i wont advance any further in the American tree, easy eight is the best.

I also have an IS and KV3 available but i just really dont like the heavy tanks anymore, i had fun with KV1 and derp gun back before patch, and when the KV3 was tier 6, but now it is moved up, Ive dropped it. Also felt a bit cheated because i wasted xp on the IS and then the KV4 came.

Pzkpfw 4, i didnt use it in its Schmallturm era, but i bought it after patch, pretty solid tank, but definetly weaker than the pz3/4, and also poor gun compared to the T-34 and M4 sherman counterpart, they should buff the L48 gun (actually overhaul all the german guns), with it i am going for tiger because it is a sexy and iconic tank, and maybe King Tiger, but then no further.

I also intend on keeping the Panther, Pz4, Easy Eight and the Tiger and Jagpanther and i am pretty statisfied. All the other is just cool extras.

Though the E50M and the future Leopard 1 really do look sexy  :oops:
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on February 15, 2013, 03:32:30 pm
PzIV, back in the schmallturm era, used to have the best gun out of all the mediums of it's tier - decent speed, great penetration, great shell velocity, sniper precision (like, really, SNIPER).

Guys, I recall playing this and the game ran like absolute shit on my computer.

Did they do anything with it? It looked pretty average and way too demanding anyway.

I'm a bit bored and might re-download this to have a look.


Also, you guys are awesome. Not only I've learned how to play EU3 here, but also DOTA which I thought I'd never get into.

Can you give me a few tips about WHERE to shoot these metal boxes? Other than the back, is it varied for each enemy tank, how am I supposed to know where's an ammo rack/module/crew member, hell, if it's even in that place ingame.

I'm not that much of a tank nut u.u
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Largg on March 14, 2013, 07:36:15 am
The two targets you want to shoot for are the engine(fire) and ammo rack(blows up). Ammo rack storage places differ on tanks somewhat and can be hard to target. Engine placement however is quite obvious and almost always at the back. You can find skins on tanks that show different critical area target places but I think that just ruins the game.

Well, the idea is to shoot at surfaces that are flat, so your shots hit as perpendicularly as possible. Then it also helps to know the general idea of specific tanks - such as, don't bother shooting at the turret of a T29 from the front :D

From closer range, if you can take the shot, use first person and aim for things such as viewports or whatever else is anything other than just bare armor. Many tanks also have at least a partially exposed underside on the front, that you can try to shoot through, since it is generally less armored.

Also, remember that your aiming reticule changes colour, depicting how likely you are to penetrate something - it only doesnt take the angle in account.

Basically, dont shoot at the turret of any  higher tier american tank, same for most of the russians, specially IS 3 and up. German tanks often have weak spots on this thing on the turret, not sure how to call that, there where usually MG's are mounted.


I've soon got enough EP to get the 1200PS engine or the 10,5cm for my E-50, not sure yet what I should take first.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on March 14, 2013, 12:58:49 pm
I preferred the VK3001P, because of speed (and it also looks kewler). Don't look forward to the Tiger, it'll take you a ton of grind to get it to a decent state.
Don't know about the Tiger, but the Tiger P can use the same 88mm cannon at stock, which is rather shitty for tier7 (132 penetration, gg), with the upgraded 88mm cannon being a fuckload of grind away (needs expensive transmission, expensive turret and the gun itself is uber costly in XP)

Other tier7 heavies have it way easier at start.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: donib on March 14, 2013, 07:52:18 pm
Ive played vk3001p, i played it at the time that the panter was in a different tree but then the patch screwed me over, had to restart with pz3/4 and vk3001h to get the panter.

I just want the tiger because of its iconic status, i know its a shitty shoe box compared to the IS, but still.

I had a KV3, loved it untill they put it one slot upwards, after that i sold it.

Not sure what tree to go now with all this stuff added.

Depends on with which Panzer IV you played, the old one with the strong cannon or the newer one. Theres that difference though, Panzer IV is a medium tank, KV a heavy tank, so the PzIV isnt really supposed to fight against a KV alone.

lolwut pz4 used to be one of the best tanks with the l70.
They have nerfed the KV now, they have split it into KV1 and KV2 so no more derping around with KV1.

Up to you what tree you choose. I know Stug 3 is excellent tank, so is the vk3601h and the panther isnt that bad as well.
Or you can always try the new british line.

PzIV, back in the day, was an uber good medium tank, with a super precise, high penetration cannon. KV-1 was ridiculously good against higher tiers as well. Both have been changed a lot since then.

I feel that the trees are generally well balanced right now, all are viable. Maybe with the exception of french low tier tanks being utter suckage.

Haha, "idiot team" pretty much sums it all up.

Speaking of bad players I saw perhaps the saddest thing yesterday. I was already dead and ended up speccing a stock tiger H. He met a t-34 which encircled him pretty fast. What was so funny about it was when he first started to only rotate his turret and seeing that was not enough decided to rotate his hull too. Too bad they were in opposite directions resulting his gun pointing constantly in one direction. He kept doing this for like 5 seconds. I almost felt bad for him.

What was even funnier was that this unorthodox approach got the t-34 so badly confused that he kept circling instead of stopping. He almost got shot but then realized just how bad player was he facing and killed him.

What do you mean? Apart from low tier tanks being uberslow in general.

Any tips on what tank to use as a new player?  i like medium tanks I think

i would suggest a heavy tank for new players because medium tanks are too weak and take some practice to use. Atleast thats my humble opinion.

Meh, heavy tanks are expensive and also need good knowledge of the maps to deploy properly.

Played a few rounds again today and decided to upgrade one of my default medium pnz(or whatever.) had some good games, rarely died unless one of the tracks broke down and i was pinned down in the open. I must say that this game is amazing fun, allthough there seems to be zero to none variation in maps(like three?). Topped scoreboards a few times, had one map where a bunch of guys joined me in a "blitzkrieg" worked fairly well allthough we mostly encountered light tanks and we were with 2 med 3 lights, took a few hits but barely got scratched, outmaneouvered them like a boss and won the round with just one loss. T'was awesome to put together some teamwork and have faster vehicles flank(allthough none ofthem are particulary fast, it still worked).:D

Let me explain in short form.


Basics

Always check your map there can be an opportunity anytime. Do not try to be a rambo. I mean dont rush in front of everyone and trying to shoot anybody you can see. Use buildings/stones against arty. When i started the game IS-7 was the best tank to learn the game. Its a heavy with good armor, gun and mobility. The only bad part was the aim on that damn gun but it can teach you how to aim better. If you cant penetrate a tank and if it makes you mad search on youtube ''Weakspots NameOfTheTank''

Heavy Tanks
 
Heavies are the main combat tanks. You will take damage while dealing some. Some of them are slow. It means good for defense, holding a flank or sniping. Some of them are fast. It means you will be the one who pushes a lane.  You have to be carefull against arty(SPG) while playing with it.

(click to show/hide)


Medium Tanks

All of them are faster than heavies. You can be a fighter. It means flank master. You need to find a way to get behind the enemy tanks. If there is a lot of arty(SPG) in match you will be mostly support. It means you will spot then hide and arty will finish the job. Do not try to play like a heavy cause you are using your speed instead of armor.

(click to show/hide)

Light Tanks

I prefer to call them ''Little Bastards''. You are not a combat tank. You are the eyes and ears of the team. Do not stop in a single point more than 5seconds or you will be dead. You dont have armor neither a decent gun. All you have to do is ''Spot the enemy and hide- Let the arty work'' Sometimes you will find an empty flank to rush directly to enemy arties. If you can spot/kill the enemy arties. Your team will be really happy.

(click to show/hide)

Tank Destroyers

Best tanks for an ambush. Tank Destroyers are usefull mostly in defense. You can hide in a corner and when the enemy comes ''Suprise buttsex'' Some of them are fast, you can rush with them but tank destroyers are the primary target for arties cause you have the highest damage potential. Most of them dont have a turret so dont let someone get behind you.

(click to show/hide)


SPG(Arty)

Lets see, arties are like archers in cRPG. You will sit in base and will be able to shoot whole map when you get tier5-6. Your priority will be like this, Enemy arty>Tank Destroyers>Heavies>Mediums>Lights. Of course it can change ingame.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on March 26, 2013, 04:18:37 am
That's just the general idea. Don't take that for granted. For example, British tier V light tank - Crusader - has great DPS potential, with its very fast firing gun, making it perfect for wrecking shit from behind or flanks, coupled with its good mobility.

A better description would be one of the different nations.

Brits, for example, seem to have mainly tanks with precise, fast firing guns with somewhat lower damage than others (but still a high DPS). Their heavies are slow, but with a ton of hitpoints. Their light/medium tree has generally fast tanks, good for flanking.

Germans heavies/mediums seem to average on pretty much everything - average damage, with average penetration and firerate, average armour, decent precision, average mobility. This makes them rather flexible, but lacking in certain strengths. Their TDs have absolutely great precision and very good penetration, whilst also being heavily armoured from the front.

Russian heavies can be very heavily armoured and with sloped armour too, whilst having super slow, rather inprecise but extremely hard hitting guns. There is a faster, slightly less armoured tree and a slower, more heavily armoured path for these tanks. Their mediums have good mobility, decent guns but poor armour. Their TDs tend to have the hardest hitting guns of all TDs.

American mediums have good mobility, decent armour and fast, but not hard hitting guns (though slower than british guns). There is also a new tree with mediums that have autoloader guns - these do extreme burst damage, but have a long reload time between bursts (i so want these). Their heavies differ from tier to tier - tier5 and 6 heavies are mobile, with relatively fast guns, great for pushing an assault. Tier7 and above heavies are rather slow, large, but very heavily armoured (especially the turrets) and with a powerful gun. Their TDs have two branches - one with less heavily armoured TDs, that have turrets, and a more heavily armoured turretless (at least above tier6) TD branch. Guns are relatively average and the same in both branches.

Can't tell much about chinese or french trees. Chinese seem to have a very similar heavy tank line to russians, with perhaps different guns and an interesting light tank line, but i'm yet to get above tier4 in their tree. Gotten just as far with the french - they seem to have totally great light tanks, when you want to scout, whilst dealing some damage as well. Their heavies have autoloader guns at higher tiers (meaning high burst damage) but seem to be poorly armored - basically glass cannons.

Oh, and another thing - the actual division between light, medium and heavy tanks only really starts at Tier 5. Anything below that is just tanks - somewhere between light and medium. Tier5 is where the tanks-proper begin.

Also, funny encounter yesterday - was playing with my Crusader. See a T-34, shoot it in the sides, it catches fire. Let it roast for a bit, it goes down to ~200. Go out, hit it again... it caught fire a second time...

First time i genuinely felt sorry for an enemy :lol:

Got my Sturmpanzer II, and had a few nice moments so far, managed to hit and kill a lot of moving targets now, especially because of the travel timer I downloaded. Awesome tool, I'll recommend it once more, DAR artillery sight. A must.

Can't wait to get to the real deal, Hummel.

(I played the game back during the beta and got to like tier 7 or something, but I had to start again from scratch for some reason. Yes, I played after release and earned some tanks but those disappeared too o.O)

PS: I had an idea about levelling my crew up on one SPG up to 100%. How much is the penalty if I retrain them for another SPG?
If it's only like 5-10% this would be worth doing, because by the time you unlock everything you are back at 100% in theory.

Am I correct?
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on March 26, 2013, 10:35:06 pm
Depends on training level - spending 20k to retrain to another vehicle of same class from 100% = 90%.

And, yeah, it's worth keeping to experienced crew and getting them to 100% and then skilling them up.

Nice job man, good to see a German tank can do such scores like that!

I remember in beta a Tiger I tanker killed like 13 guys on my team. Sniped all of our enemies, it was glorious.

Picked up the tier II US TD and Artillery as well, just for a bit of variation.

I'm a bit sick of the narrow firing arc of the German SPG's so far.
Aiming for the M37/Priest, at least it's an easy grab, and a good moneymaker.

+I want at least a Wolverine. Those are badass.

But I'm really interested in the British line as well. Too much shit to choose from z.z

That could work, but not until I grind my ass off to get the Grille!

Man why does the SPG cost scale this bad.  :)

Also I decided to rethink my garage, and got 3 TD-s, Germany,US,USSR, and did the same thing with SPG-s.

Variety is always nice, and I can hop between tanks constantly.

Still got one open slot, which is nice. Maybe if the British line's Arty gets released, we'll see.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on April 09, 2013, 09:06:42 am
Whaddya mean?

You need a full crew for any tank, size (and roles) of crew are determined by tank, you can only switch crew between tanks of the same nation and to the same role (a loader cannot become a driver or a radioman and so on). Moving crew to a different tank requires that they be retrained to it, loss in skill % depends on the type of switch - retraining to a different tank of same class means low penalty, to a different class - high penalty.

yesterday I played that map aswell(with the same tank lol I only drive german tanks!) started out by smoking out 2 rushing antitank guns on the hill
 drove off the (lucky I didnt bust a track) hillside into the village, spotted 2 on the far side which my teammates smoked out.
continued to drive towards the other side but got pinned down by artillery fire, then a medium drove up to me and we got into a firefight which I won due to artillery support, i drove up further on the others spawn and uncovered 2 more guns in hiding.
 I pretty much scouted the entire enemy team for my team, was a great succes only got three or four kills though. like three medals though

1vs1 a IS 3 doesnt have a chance, first tank I've got so far to do that, always hated IS-3.
E: well, basically none of the listed tanks down there had a chance, except that T95 and perhaps T34. Don't even have the best gun yet.

ALso, does someone know when the World of Warplanes is OpenBeta or "Full"-Version?

I want a Me 262.

I had my best game with the 2nd gun aswell but i have to warn you T-28 Prot. feels awsome at the begining(after T25/2) then it becomes really annoying. T30 is good in my opinion. By the way IS-3 is the strongest tier8 heavy thats why everyone uses it in company battles.

I'm gonna totally necro the fuck outta this in hopes to get people to play with.
I've done a terrible mistake, the T-34-85 is the shittiest tank know to man, a tier 6 with only 45 armor (atleast it's slopped I guess) and it's such a grind to the good gun, and no, I'm not talking about the derp gun.
I should've gone the easy route and gotten the KV-1, but whatever.

Also the Panther/M10 is possibly the best tank when it comes to supporting, it was totally worth the 5k gold for it.

T-34-85, as well the T-43 that comes after it are not well armored. The gun is quite awesome though, didn't feel like such a grind to get it, for me at least. They're also quite mobile.

KV-1S are armored worse than a KV-1, shouldn't have trouble with those, T29 are a bit harder from up front, if you don't have the top gun. Still, definitely better than what follows a M4 Sherman or some other mediums.

In World of Tanks I was always annoyed by the "cloaking devices", and the smaller maps.

Nice job man, good to see a German tank can do such scores like that!

I remember in beta a Tiger I tanker killed like 13 guys on my team. Sniped all of our enemies, it was glorious.

Note to self: Grille, why are you so expensive and cost 14,5k xp to unlock ;__;

I'll never have it.

Well, Im happy whenever anyone finds something fun, but I dislike the way the developers of that game are simply in it to make money with a very simple game and no attempt to police it.

But I guess the real apeal of that game is to the grind addicts, and it sure does have grind.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Knife on December 11, 2013, 11:39:27 pm
The game itself is not that bad, a bit too arcady, but that's just my opinion. Though, when I went to their forums to suggest actual people to be added to the tanks, as the game itself feels like the tanks are alive and most open ones look ridiculous, as no one's operating them, I got rather not so nice responses...So, to sum it up, most of their community got screaming at me that when actual people will be added then the game can't be rated for so young audience as it is currently. A bit weird to turn the suggestion upside down whilst claiming that 'we' are so young that when some actual dummies will be added inside the mechanized vehicles, the game can't be played as it's now rated M(mature). Though I doubt it'd raise the rating that much, but who am I to judge. Leaving out the fact that you can hear all sorts of things via audio, about your crew dying, bleeding and so on.

Guess most of their community want to play with tanks that can breath, though isn't that violence as well because you're killing the tanks? This is madness, tankoicide!(tried to make something similar to homicide with tanks in it, failed). Now, that's pretty much the only issue I have with it, the tank models look nice and the gameplay itself is pretty fluid, but I simply don't have interest in playing it that much, sadly.

One more thing, I have got into tier 5 with only Germans and Russians(one of them was in 6 as well, can't remember), the rest are either stuck at 4 or so. Think that's one thing that holds me back, as getting into tier 5 is the worst thing because good tanks start over there.

The main problem I have with the game is that some tanks are simply not viable. All they can do is drive around and scout. They are dead when good tanks only look at them, and they can't even damage most other tanks. This and the excessive grind made me stop at tier 7.

If someone wants to follow or just see some gameplay:
http://www.twitch.tv/lansamur
Mostly evening hours. Click on the "Follow" to get an email whenever I am online and streaming.

Xside: Yes, you can. It's a unified account-system now, so if you purchase Premium-Account for one game, the other one gets it too. To your other question regarding earning more money with Premiumtanks when doing missions: Yes, this is possible. Every tank gets this bonus in mostly Random Battles (others only if so stated in the Mission description)

What CaveSquirrel forgot to mention: Only APCR ammo is capable of penetrating small objects (fences, small vehicles), HEAT still won't do that, as well as normal shells, and those shells will lose a fixed amount of penetrationvalue for each passed-through object.
KV-1S nerf is not yet fact and clear, what will happen to it.

They are adding 1 map per patch now, so far 4 new maps got into the pool and they keep improving the graphics with each patch. New content is added (Gamemodes, Tanks).

Recently got back into this again. For those of you liking low tier nub-swatting games, this is a good time :)

Tier1-2 battles are full of Light Vic premium gift tanks, and, if you play with a PzII, these are just delicious free kills, with their crappy machineguns, that can't do much vs your frontal armour :)

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on January 07, 2014, 10:04:45 am
There is a new line of german TDs, that seem to have totally OP guns, whilst lacking in armour.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Lansamur on January 08, 2014, 07:19:38 am
Guns are quite nasty indeed, but they actually lack in mobility except the t10 Waffenträger auf E100. As long as you keep shooting them around or on the guns though, every shot will penetrate, even if you shoot HE-ammo. Armor is maxed at about 25mm on every one of those tanks around the guns.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: [ptx] on January 08, 2014, 12:39:28 pm
It's not like that TD line has anything near the armour that the first line has, anyway. I've never had issues penetrating their armour even with weaker guns.

I have to say that WT has one HUGE selling point over World of Tanks. Stuff actually renders and not just when you spot something.

Also when WOT was new I remember the closed early beta stage, it was going for years until it got actual physics for an example.

I went back to play some WoT lately but sometimes the camouflage mechanic is just too um.. weird or something. Again I'm trying not to go "hurr durr cloaking devices" on it, I just think it's a very weird decision.

Also the 2013 stats are interesting, have you guys seen those? KV-1/KV-1S are most popular tanks of 2013 in almost every region

Post by: [ptx] on January 14, 2014, 01:35:47 pm
It really isn't a game of camping, a decent team with a spotter or two will pretty much always win over campers, exactly because of how spotting works.
If the videos are anything to judge by, the path of realism taken by Warthunder results in a much more campy gameplay.

KV-1 is definitely not a difficult tank to use and be effective with. KV-1S has the hardest hitting gun of tier6 heavies. KV-2 is a gimmick tank, KV-3 is very well armored, but has poor mobility, in comparison to the IS.
I myself prefer american heavies, T29 is, imo, the easiest tank to play in the game.

the russian line in general is one of the best lines(maybe a little russian bias developing).  The KV and IS are stupidly powerful, some of the best tanks for their tier.  120mm cannon in a tier 5 to 6 match makes you near unstoppable.

the medium line isnt very noteworthy in the beginning, even the t-34 is considered to be utter shit. 

The t-28 is actually pretty good for its class as is the A-20.   
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Lansamur on January 19, 2014, 12:44:48 pm
Well, IS/KV-3 aren't as powerful anymore since Tiger I got it's rld/dpm buff. KV-1S and KV-2 are just derps and the stats are probably that way because these tanks are used a lot in Tank Companies for Tier 6, and KV-1 just because it also has a derpy gun an Tier 5.

Didn't really play the whole Medium line, I plonked into it via KV-1S and KV-13, and the latter was actually already quite fun. T-44 needs Wet Ammorack and you'll be fine, it's decent, not OP. T-54 is a beast, not more to say about it. Since I really started getting into the "how-to-drive-t54", I seldomly have games with less than 2500 dmg.

Heavy-line... IS-4 is tanky, 2500hp and good angles, but imo worse than IS-7, which just eats shells like no tomorrow (best game with over 17k pot-dmg received). Russian tanks in general are good for starters, as they are easy. Germans are the hardest imo, but very rewarding in the end. Muricans... inbetween. Good turrets, but at tier 8 underwhelming guns, so I usually go for Premium-Ammo. M103 though is one hell of a tank.

I basically only go for Tier 9, because those together with Tier 8 and some other special tanks are the only ones who really interest me.

Playing with my M48 Patton (just few battles, and nearly always got in shitty teams), even when I do much damage, its not easy to earn money.
When its destroyed it costs about 26k + every shot 1k

Gameplay is quite similar to crpg , you QQ about ranged every round , it has upkeep if tank is damaged , horsetanks can bump damage you , there are afk leechers , would be nice if there was a strategus for that ^^

Never played it also, but its basicly capturing the world by taking some regions. And I guess the Clans who have the most win at the end of the round.

The last one won a special tank, (VK 72.01K), and the ones before also, the M60, but you don't see them that often, specially not if you do not have tanks which you play with in T10.

You need to be in a clan which is active on clan cars. Well, arties can sit in a corner even in spawn point and can shoot anywhere on the map. They have the highest damage per ammo and splash damage. We were using 6-7 arty on open field maps in clan wars. I think i'm gonna redownload the game...

Example (T110E5 is the Tier10 hevy tank. It has 2200hp)

after playing for a while i can see how arty could be compared with archers heheh , gayness but it seems fun , maybe one day i will try to be gay too with those toys :P.
for now i'm using t82 and i'm liking it , for tier x i'm going to aim for the frenchie Foch 155 but the way is long ...
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Kirman on March 08, 2014, 11:29:42 am
If you are going to play Tank Destroyer. After T82 you can change the line. ill suggest M18 Hellcat line.  It's an amazing tank but really different than other tank destroyers. You are fast like medium tank and can turn your turret. After that you can go for both lines aswell T110E4 and T110E3.

T40 is good, if you use the highest caliber cannon + HE shells = hits almost like an arty at its tier.
I personally would also recommend you to have a medium/heavy tank line in parallel to TDs and arties, if you have the space in your garage - afterall, they play very differently and, imo, are somewhat more fun to play.

Completed a ton of missions during the weekend, made a nice bunch of silver and got coated optics. Also, just a few battles short of unlocking T32, aw yeah 8-)

yes i use high caliber only but you can't engage in cqb cause your reload time is like 13 secs or so and you will be humiliated by pz I c , so i must camp in any case or go yolo hoping to oneshot the enemy tank.

Before the gold ammo patch. I could stand in a place whole day long with this tank.(Even against Tier10s) Gun seems a bit weak but when you hide your hull and just show your turret. It was impossible to penetrate. Do not think about selling it once you get the tank. Keep it always in your garage. T32 is really usefull in Tank Companies.

Im loving my pz4, on the wot forums it is hated on pretty bad, but it really is a nice tank. I like to make use of her reasonable flatness which is ideal for making use of terrain. It has decent frontal armor but to be honest the armor on this tank is pretty wack.
I like to play behind the flanking tanks, the pzIV is a bit of a sniper but it lacks the power to punch through armor at a long distance.  I like to drive behind the flanking tanks and play a sort of support role(I like to compare it with sea arr peejay  hoplites :P ).
It is also a fairly mobile tank, making a white arc around an enemy and flanking him from a mediocre distance is very good because of it's mobility and ability to relocate fast.

And it's sexay as fuck  :mrgreen:

Im almost at T6 german med, im not sure with VK30.0XX to upgrade to, though I do want to stay in the medium class.. Any feedback for these two choices?
Playing a T-34 atm aswell, not that impressed, though it is a very fun tank to brawl with, which I do most of the time with it.  :mrgreen:
And have a matilda, but the british tank line stinks, the tanks are boring to play with.

Id like to start a new tree, though I dont know which, though im interested in the american tree, was thinking of going to the M4 then to the M4A3E8

In case you're going for the M4, I would get the E2 aka Jumbo afterwards, its a really nice tank, you can easily take out KV-1S and so on with it, while they, at least if they are dumb (Like actually most KV-1S and IS3 players), will bounce from your armour.

Also you can choose between 2 lines then, T29 is imo the best Tier 7 Heavy Tank if played right, had my best game with it getting nearly 3k-exp

The medium-line I got up the M48 Patton. The Pershing is the first really good one there.

Had with its turret a game once, where it bounced like 10 shots of WT auf E100, normal E100 and other Tier 10 tanks.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: CaveSquirrel on March 14, 2014, 01:41:10 am
I recently got it.

It's somewhat useful. With the 152mm you can oneshot most of the other Tier 6 tanks.

Though, with 50% crew it takes about 30 sec. to reload, later on only 22 or 23 sec.. Its really slow and heavy, turret turns like like it has 0,1 PS.

But well.. critical hits, at least with HE, are nearly always done, what is really nice since you can even damage Tier 8 to 10 tanks with it.

In case you get it and you use HE, always aim for the turret since you can destroy the most shooting there. I once shot a, i believe it was a 36.01, and killed its turret, ammo-rack, gunner and commandant. Well, at least aim there when shooting from the front, otherwise to the side or the engine.

E: just an example, shooting IS-3's with HE and 152mm, you basically do around 300 to sometimes even more damage + damaging modules.

Hellcat >>> Boom
JgPzIV >>> Boom
Nashorn >>> Boom

and so on..

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: CaveSquirrel on March 14, 2014, 02:32:28 am
Traverse speed is also not that fast.

Also, I often get damage to the turret with that tank, which makes it so fucking slow that you basically dont even try to hit the enemys driving around you anymore. Specially fast tanks.

Lol.. I remember that one time with the Panther, where both engine and driver was down.. that 6 Km/H...

Oh.. yeah.. thats one point I forgot, never drive around alone, as soon as you shot they will just shoot you down, at least if you didnt onehit them anyways.

KV-2.... good times. Gotta love the side-armor of Ferdinands. Got right through, always a pleasure seeing 900hp flying off his healthbar.... xD

British Heavy-Line gets better at Tier 8. Caernarvon is a beast, same as the Conqueror. FV215b is decent, but only for the 2nd or 3rd row, cause the armor is quite weak. DPM is really nice though, as for all Brits. British Medium line is, if you ever intend to participate in Clanwars, not the best line to choose. FV4202 doesn't appear in roster on a frequent basis, mainly because his topspeed is too slow.

And yes, Clanwars Global Map is actually quite similar to Strategus, but it has fixed Battletimes (first battles start at around 18:00 CET, if you are in a landing tournament it can last until 23:45 CET roundabout, but it all depends on the Timezone of that province (18:00, 19:00 or 20:00 from east to west)

As soon as historical battles are playable, it won't be underpowered anymore. :mrgreen:

Seeing forward to play my Panther there, allthough it will most likely have the L70  instead of the L100, and different turret.

I guess Jagdtiger will be the heaviest tank in such battles, and basically the only really used Tier 9 tank in WW2
I will probably buy the Pershing again if they are allowed in those battles, kind of a grey zone.

Also, I want a Brummbär.

Depending on how high you want to skill your crew, the 3rd  or 4rd skill needs something about 900k, if its the 4th, the 3rd also needs about 300 to 500k I guess.

Got the crew of my E50 at the third skill at 87% and they already need about 20000 experience to get 1% more.

So it will take a while.

Only from a historical point of view they are. They are garbage compared to how well they performed in WW2. But it is a game, not a sim.. Plus the Tiger is in a tier (8 right?)that has tanks that have seen a little to no actual combat in ww2. Cant wait to throw the Tiger against hordes of T34's in historic though, that will be massive.

Its more of a thingthat when people think ofthetiger, they think of the success' it had in ww2. But again, historic will show the tigers true power! (I think it has an inferior gun, compared to the top gun it is able to sport atm.)

There wont be T34, except you mean T-34

Anyways, I've seen a list of which tanks will be able to fight.

For example Ardennes Offensive, USA has at most Tier 6, Hellcats, Firefly, Wolverine, Jacksons and Jumbos, while Germans have Königstiger, Panther, Tiger, Jagdpanther, PvIV, Stug

But Americans will have much more tanks I guess.

Also the Kingtiger will have the standard 88, not 105mm

I`d reset the repair skill to get brothers in arms and then go for repairs on all crewmembers except the commander (use sixth sense) as a second skill. Your repair skill is already giving you a bonus when it`s at 1%, while the brother in arms is only active at 100%.

Do not use ''Brother In Arms'' unless they have changed it. It may look good but the problem is it wont work if one of your crew members is dead during the battle. My first choice was full repair all the time.

that's what i'm doing , was unsure about commander's first skill but i missclicked on repair and i didn't want to reassign lol.

Heard someone say this tank is pretty bad.

Also, does someone want to platoon up for that WoT BD platoon mission?
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: CaveSquirrel on April 12, 2014, 03:19:29 pm
What's BD?

I dont find the JgPz IV to be bad, by history, its basically my favourite Jagdpanzer, together with the Jagdpanther. Playing it some times also.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks

I really didnt like the Jagdpanther... maybe I just played it wrong. The Ferdinand is my preferred German TD.

Birthday. There are (or were?) missions, that you could earn gold with and one of those was for platoons only, that you could get 3 premium days with.

Want that one too, but in another vid where Jingles himself got it (Theres one somewhere) he said how much he needed to pay for it.

It was something about 200€ or so.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: AntiBlitz on April 17, 2014, 07:17:49 pm
9.0 update came out today.  unfortunately it is having massive issues, ranging from the current 10-15fps drop due to the new "HD" graphics, and the new crash bug, which is triggered by some sort of environmental problem.  The historic battles are just about impossible to get into, i timed out 3 times after a max 5 minute wait.(it kicks you after 5 minutes has passed)  Also, during historic mode, it forces you to purchase gold ammo, using gold if you have it or silver if not, however it replaces the gold if you dont use it.  Just remember it will auto switch to the next ammo type if u run out and dont notice.

on the plus side, the new tanks do look more detailed, if not somewhat fuzzy/grainy.  The new garage is a definite warm welcome.  The sound changes when u are in sniper mode, and the explosions look and sound different.

I have a gtx690, i used to get around a solid 55-60 fps on max settings during the 8.11.  I now get 28-34fps with max settings, lowering the settings to medium gave me 40fps, but the tanks and environment just looks hideous.  I know graphics arent everything, but when it looked great before, and has forced me to change my settings drastically to compensate,  it really rubs me wrong.

i tried joining historical battle in a t-34 and i just waited for ever, and then eventually gave up.  oh i forgot, NA vs. EU, you may have more players playing then NA did, or does.  In the queue for me was only 100 players.

Are you playing on the standard graphics or the improved, the only way u will notice the problems is if you have the improved graphics.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: CaveSquirrel on April 17, 2014, 08:28:08 pm
Using improved with this new type of 3D-Rendering on 90%.

With everything on high and textures at max, I got about 40FPS mostly.

turn it down to 0% while in the garage and your eyes will cross and you may throw up.

i managed to get into one in my pzIV after waiting 10min, me and 4 other pz4's died in less than 5mins to a pack of camping su-85s, so the balance seems a bit off atm, but the new panzer4 with side skirts looks damn awesome :)

The new pz4 is so damn sexy, my word! I had a crazy ga,e with my T-34 yesterday, bounced like 15 shots by angeling correctly, wrecked a KV-1 and a m4 in a skirmish, had a great teammate aswell(I think it was a chi-he or whatever?) and a few other mediums from longer distance. Was a great battle

I proceeded to catch the enemys aggro whilst he took pot-shots at them. Got to love noob heavies who go for the easy kills, instead of dealing with the true danger!

Also, anyone knows if theres a performance mod for wot? Im so laggy it makes me cry  :)

Also used to play Tank Companies a lot, average experience was about 1500 back then.

(When there were only German, Soviet and American tree, with one X Heavy, one IX Medium and IX Tank Destroyer.

Used to roll in pure IX Med platoons wrecking everybody :D


Once you get to Tier 8 Tank Companies begin to get you loads of experience (if people still play Companies much)

Also joining a bigger clan with good members helps a lot, since they tend to play clan internal companies. They can carry you basically.

Focus on T44, then go for the T62a, best tank I have ever played. (If you like mediums)

IS-3 is awesome too.

the VK4502 Ausf. A is meh, its quite fast but paper armour.

You cant buy them, and they probably never will be avaiable again.

They was winable by the first and second and third clanwar campaign, and only a few, I guess about 100 to 200 or something.

Gaijin Fanboy, go spam the War Thunder thread if you want to promote it. This is about World of Tanks.
I played WTGF (mostly Sim-Battles), quite enjoyable, but on a different level and not comparable to WoT due to completely different mechanics. Joseph, ever sat in a tank? Me neither, but people who did actually said that the handling is quite realistic... if you don't watch out, you'll spin or drift.

Anyways. no Replays this time. Had a good roll yesterday (12 games, 8 won, Average WN8 of 2900), but nothing really tough.

Oh, I didn't mean to hate on it in any way and from footage on youtube you can clearly see them "iceskating" when the ground is moist etc. But that doesn't mean it doesnt look hilarious :lol:

Also I think it has to do with the tanks "floating" a bit on the surface, where as irl their tracks would sink into the mud a few cm'rs.

I don't know, the game doesn't allow me to go higher than minimum settings, it is a VGA limitation iirc.

To me it looks the same, maybe try that, there is a setting somewhere that makes the old graphics come back.

Eh I think I found it for you, go to graphical settings, details

and then click on graphics: standard

My problem is that I got thrown into tier VI matches very often.

Same goes for Grant, it is merciless.

But I agree it takes a special mindset to play, and if it is top tier or faces tier V, you can wreck shit with it.

Having a tier III tank? Enjoy being bottom tier and dying to tier V in 1 shot.

Having a tier IV tank? Enjoy being bottom tier dying to tier VI in 1 shot.

Having a tier V tank? Enjoy being bottom tier dying to tier VII in 1 shot.

The balance in this game is god awful and the +2 spread never stops, so annoying to get 1 shotted just because other people no-lifed more.

And people actually defend this tier spread. Morons

Trying to find what causes it or how to go around it, but the only way I can think of is being tier X, then you are the top dog. lol

and i whole heartily agree with this statement.  Some tanks just match too poorly with higher tier tanks, id like to see a much more restrictive tank match tiering so that it can atleast be fair.  Id also like to see a better match making system, its like every team i play with are fucking retarded mexicans, its like me starting dota, yet the fun never ends, i just always have shitty teammates.

Idk if any of you use modded clients and all that jazz, but when your whole team are tomatoes, while you are the only one of a positive color, you just cringe.  I like how people attack others for using those clients when it just tells you who are all shit on your team, and who can be relied upon to actually pull some weight in the match.

Also lost one today that had 68. It doesn't really matter, it is called random battles for a reason.

Also managed to unlock the derpgun on the M4 Sherman, lol it is funny. On my second game I managed to nail a Su-122, a Sherman Firefly and a Panther.  :mrgreen:

Go premium, you pleb.

It does suck, when you're bottom tier in such a battle, but then again, if your tank got a decent enough gun, you can get some hefty rewards for doing some damage to the higher tiers.

Sigh, this is so retarded.

Having a tier III tank? Enjoy being bottom tier and dying to tier V in 1 shot.

Having a tier IV tank? Enjoy being bottom tier dying to tier VI in 1 shot.

Having a tier V tank? Enjoy being bottom tier dying to tier VII in 1 shot.

The balance in this game is god awful and the +2 spread never stops, so annoying to get 1 shotted just because other people no-lifed more.

And people actually defend this tier spread. Morons

Trying to find what causes it or how to go around it, but the only way I can think of is being tier X, then you are the top dog. lol

This is one of the reasons I stopped playing WoT.

At tier V: KV-1 or KV-1S?

I got three slots during the xmas events and stuff, but I don't want to keep basically the same tank twice.

I am thinking of eliting out the KV-1 so all paths are researched, then keeping the 1S as a 'learner' tonk.

Also 1S is much prettier. The dark green looks great

i havent played in a while, but i thought they broke the kv-1s into several tanks like the kv-85 and what not.  The IS is now like tier 7 or some such shit as well as the big 122 gun.(maybe tier 6, idk)

I'd go KV-1. Granted I don't play low tiers anymore unless I absolutely have too, and I only played the 1S when it was an OP tier 6. KV-1 is the big bully of tier 5.

Since i'm a stat whore I look up like everyone's stats. You're better than I was when I started out. Just a random stalker's compliment.

I will defend the +2 spread since it used to be a +3 spread! Be happy for that change. I think your problem is you are at the tier where derp cannons are very very common. You probably play tanks without much armor if you get one shotted a lot. Keep grinding! We've all been there, don't become a complainer about how tanks are bigger than you.

My advice is to only grind 3 lines, so that you aren't stuck on low tiers. I have close to 5k battles, and I have only one tier X because I was grinding like 10 lines. Tier X is fun, I have the JG. PZ E100 a.k.a The Deathstar, but it's more challenging than low tiers since more skilled players play it.

Outdated information. KV1S is the king of tier V heavies now, KV1 got knocked out of that position via power creep.
I already have both though, and won't keep two of the same tank. Will probably keep the 1S when I max KV1

I will defend the +2 spread since it used to be a +3 spread! Be happy for that change.

Fallacious thinking. Just because it used to be even worse, it doesn't mean the system can't be bad now.
Still not as bad as War Thunder's BR system, though. That is a freaking mess.

I played the closed beta of WoT, I exactly know how the mm was then.

Also world of warplanes sucks arse, War Thunder has the better air combat.

WoT still holds a much more interesting tank combat though, I must admit. In war thunder your actions have no real importance, you don't feel so awesome after a streak of kills for an example. Also the physics still suck, and totally break the immersion.

Decided to go with the Chinese line as a sidegrade to my USA progress (going to play everything USA until tier V, then will pick up the lines that interest me), I know they only have knockoff modified tanks and shitty gun depression, but something draws me to play it.

I wanted to try out the T-34, the T-34-85 and the IS tank anyway, so why not?
Also their armor tint looks original. Too many greens in WoT already  :mrgreen:

I also noticed that the chinese tanks are pretty solid stock, like the IS2 gets a 100mm cannon, while the original IS gets a 85mm, and people say the stock grind is terrible. This could be an advantage for a newcomer to a higher-tier adventure.
(yeah I am pretty green, I never had anything higher than VI I think, and that was in closed beta)

There is going to be a march of the nations bonus for them soon, can't wait for that.

Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: CaveSquirrel on January 07, 2015, 06:15:19 pm
Got the IS-2, T-34-1 and the premium T-34-3.

Never played the russian IS, but they don't seem to differ that much from each other.

T-34-1 is imo one of the best Tier 7 Mediums, as long as you don't show its hull, since its really weak.

T-34-3 on the other hand is pretty difficult to play, but as soon as you know how, itÄs also nice.

One big advantage of the chinese IS-2, or specifially the 122mm gun, which you can also use on the T-34-2 or is used on the T-34-3, is the fact that it does 250mm of Penetration with premium ammo, unlike the russian with its 217 or something.

Post by: Christo on January 07, 2015, 06:40:14 pm

Not always, T-34-2, 32k exp until you can use a somewhat good gun, firstly you have to play with a 85mm, 128 Penetration gun.

Or the 110, nearly 90k Exp till you can use the good gun.

I remember taking 260 hp off of a KV1-S for an example, or ammoracking a Sherman III  :lol:

Type 58 is kind of meh, though, especially compared to T-34/85.

Also got like the worst luck ever with T-34-1, matchmaking always hates me, putting me against tier9s and i get no good RNG as well. Also, for whatever reason, that tank catches fire ridiculously often, despite the engine having like a 12% chance of fire. Just don't get to enjoy it, despite it's obviously amazing stats :/

T-34-1 really gets easily set on fire, but not because of the engine, its the petrol tanks.

Just try to hide its hull the whole time, because the turret + the gun is its strenght.

Also, yeah, the Type 58, I just hated it, its basically worse than the T-34-85 in every  aspect.
Though, nothing can beat the SAu 40. Best-Ragetank. :mrgreen:

So, i completed the Light tanks and Tank destroyers personal missions all with honors.  Honestly, the light tank missions were ridiculous hard to complete, while i had a much easier time on the tank destroyers.  Ive started the other 3, but im not focusing them like i did before.

Good luck to anyone who thinks getting 4k spotting damage is a simple task.  With the increased amounts of light tanks, spotting is much more difficult, id say on average i see atleast 3 scout tanks per team.

Oh, my female tank crew, well i expected them to have female voice overs, but they have the generic male voices, which is kind of sad, i wanted to hear a bunch of half panicked women yelling in my tank.

well of course they do, they are very biased towards their own servers, maybe thats just a developer thing, i feel like its happened somewhere else before........i just cant quite put my finger on where though......hmmm


anyways, while searching for these mysterious female voices, of which i found none, because they all sounded like fucking shit, were anime, or had stupid sexual innuendos. i found this amazing voice pack.  This is fucking hilarious, especially with what is going on in world affairs.

WN8 ratings get pretty shit, if MM hates you, even if you do well, all things considered :/

(click to show/hide)

Tier 10 battle, i'm in a Pershing, 180 penetration gun, hardly anyone under 1k WN8 on either side, our side even got this one T10 platoon of 3k+ WN8s.
1k damage, 2,5k assisted damage, a lot of it against enemy tier10s, including 1k spotting damage against enemy E100.

WN8 rating for battle? 1,2k. derp.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Kalitorian on January 19, 2015, 08:44:19 pm
WN8 only considers raw damage and kill (very little spotting dmg). So if you like driving light tanks and arty you`re screwed.

Or if you`re a med in a high tier match.

So that is why I went from 881 to 950 when I was playing KV-1 only.

Yeah I am crap, I know. I have a 920-40 ish wn8, fluctuates based on what I play mostly.

Only played 1k battles tho. That is nothing in this game

I myself would be rated better in WN8 (Deep-Green, probably not that far next to blue)  than in Efficiency (yellow, nearly green)

Though, I'm better than it shows, because I've got about 12k battles now, and went better by time. But because of those 12k battles, it only grows really slowly.

i to like the war thunder tank sim stuff, i however dislike the maps, i havent played as of late to play the newer city maps, but the ones i do remember were all very linear.  It was just 3 funnels to drive down, which made the sim part of it for me, not so sim.

Completing some of these seems impossible if you don't have a high tier.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: AntiBlitz on January 27, 2015, 06:57:34 pm
Completing some of these seems impossible if you don't have a high tier.

thats the thing, they pretty much are.  The heavy tank 15 mission needing you to get 8k damage is next to impossible on anything less then a tier 8, where as if i would have had a tier 9 or 10 heavy, i would have completed the mission no problem.  It took me 3 days, i had to grind through the kv-3 line and finally get the top turret on a kv-4 before i completed the mission in a tier 9 game.  I accrued 6k blocked damage, plus my 1600 health and i scored 2500 damage. 

The light tank missions were all the same as the heavy, you absolutely needed a high enough light tank to guarantee you access to high tier matches, it was the only way to very easily get the necessary damage.  Without them, its just up to you having a extremely good game, which doesnt come too often, since you need both your team to suck, and their team to suck enough for either side to not get too big of an advantage and roll the other.

Ive finally completed the Stug 4 missions, i completed with honors all the the missions with the exception of the spg line, of which i am actually doing now so that i can get the last girl crew member.  Im stuck currently on damaging two vehicles with one shell, which is again, just one of those missions that is absolute luck and not something normally done in a standard battle, especially not in a shitty german artillery with no splash.

If people dont know this already, the missions get increasingly harder.  All the stug missions allowed tier 4 vehicles, and had specific damage or spotting numbers you had to achieve.  The t28 concept missions require tier 5 or higher, and the numbers have basically increased on damage required by around 2k roughly, so good luck lol.  I honestly dont expect to see many t28 concepts, nor even the t-55, and the ones you will see with them will be all the rather good players.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks

It puts more established players at a huge advantage, that's for sure.

yes its been nerfed, which i think is completely unwarranted, though its in the EULA that they can change stuff however and whenever they want.

They changed the tanks size and the angling of its armor, essentially nerfing it, but they claim they were just resizing it to make it more historical.  I think its kind of a cheap move considering you sold a tank as one thing, then once it became a problem, they took it off the market, and nerfed it.  Either way, the tank is at this point, over hyped, still riding on the coat tails of its once glorified days, because its nowhere near the tank it was upon its release.

Its accuracy, aim time, penetration, and speed were also all nerfed, but those came closer to its release then the one i mentioned above.  Also dont forget, gold rounds are widely accessible now, and with that, the armor of the type is much easier to pen, since just about everyone just switches to apcr and pens you anyways.  Though, with 9.6 on the way, maybe the accuracy nerf will help this tank hide its weaknesses better.


On another note, i have a full female crew in a t-34-85!!! yay! \o/
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Christo on February 05, 2015, 02:37:28 am
Nice.

I am planning to get up to the Russian T-34 too to get the 34-85 (lel grinding out the same shit again), because the Type 58 is worse in penetration than the original.

You can still make the 58's gun work, other mediums like E8 have to deal with the same pen so it's not the end of the world.

But definitely not a keeper tank for me in my opinion, 34-85 seems so much better.

so......i made this as a SixthSense icon, its from an anime about a school for girls that fight other schools of different nationalities in tanks as a sort of sport.  I enjoyed it, though it was very cheesy and what not, and more so the gf liked it quite a bit, and wished there was more of it, since it ends after 1 season.  Since i decided to make a full crew of females in my t-34-85, i thought this fit nicely into the theme, since i like to play that tank quite a bit, now if only they had female voices.

Anyways, i cut it from a screenshot, cropped it, made it translucent, and fixed its size.  I was quite proud of it, since it was my very own custom made icon.  If anyone else wants it, ill put it up for you to use as well, just remove the old sixth sense icon, and add this one in its place, with the same name of course, SixthSense.png

Winter event is gone in a day, how did you perform with the three event vehicles? what's your dmg record?

I just managed to pull off 7k damage in the Arctic Fox, I freaking love it. Ironically it was my most hated one out of the 3, but now it's my favorite, the only one I enjoy.

My favorite tactic was to push in halfway into a flank, then cut through the middle opening a route into the enemy flank, then they see you thinking 'ha! easy kill!' and start to come towards you.

If you have people with a brain on your side you can create hilarious death traps for 'em.

I managed to lure out a lot of enemies, and two Mammoths drowned while chasing me around the flag area with water using this method so far  :mrgreen:

Brother in arms is not really usefull. When one of your crew member dies it won't work. I don't know if they changed it but i wouldn't rely on this skill unless it's an arty. There are lots of different choices. This one is mine. Sometimes small changes on loader depending on nation.(Russian tanks loses their ammo rack easily)


Heavy Tank (T110E5)

Medium Tank (M48A1)

Repair & Camo is mandatory. You may ask ''why the hell camo on a heavy tank?'' You will be spotted thats for sure but you will shine less long on minimap. I don't have any arty. But Camo and BIA would be my choices after that i don't think it's really important while sitting in base  :twisted:

On Meds, TDs and LTs I would take camo over BiA.

The only crew skills I think are mandatory are 6ths sense, extended view range and repairs.

Finally, thanks to the premium time, I have finished off my nemesis that haunted me for years, the PZ III A.

I know everyone says it's good. But I had like a 16% winrate in it, it is cursed, made me go somewhat higher but it was total junk for me.

Also hated low tier german tanks in general, until this happened:

At first this made me rage because it can't hit shit, also because of accuracy nerf.

But when it works, it works.

(yeah, I'm playing tier III stuff right now, my aim is to elite them all, and maybe tier IV later, which will be a longer thing.)

Haha french will be an amazing adventure indeed  :mrgreen:

The only T3 I completed so far was the Arty, did very well in it, got an ace tanker.

But oh god the other three will be painful

Post by: AntiBlitz on February 17, 2015, 02:02:00 pm
i actually enjoyed the french tanks, the amx38 was really well armored, and people just had a helluva time trying to pen it, where as the amx40 for me anyways, kept getting higher tier matches and it would just get smashed, but the moments it did get into lower tiers, it did fine.  The B1 chars are also really good, again, the same problem as the amx40 duck tank.  The majority of these problems basically stem from the low pen guns, the guns are just fucking atrocious on the low tier frenchies, but the armor is so good for its tier.

Also what the fuck, please, please give us 9.6, i dont get why there always has to be these huge deficits in time between when RU, EU, and then finally last, of course, NA gets a patch.  You guys have had 9.6 for almost a week, and here we are still fucking about in 9.5, of course RU had it for longer then that.

no i want it, i seem to play the tanks with giant capolas and people can take snap shots at it from 500m and strike a 6 inch tall hunk of metal and destroy my tank, and of course do it successively.  So frustrating, i also think its absolute garbage that you can destroy a tank by shooting its capola.

9.6 Supershing  8-)

good, maybe my super pershing and kv-4 wont be absolutely useless huge hunks of steel, its just sad to me because they are "heavily armored" yet have these weaknesses that everybody can hit because we shoot lasers and not WW2 tanks with mechanical and manual controls.

in the mean time, im going to continue crying as i try to get the 3k damage needed in my super pershing and type 59
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Christo on February 17, 2015, 03:49:56 pm
This guy blocked some 5000 damage with his Supershing according to this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/2w1m22/for_one_glorious_minute_i_felt_like_i_was_driving/comtq3c (http://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/2w1m22/for_one_glorious_minute_i_felt_like_i_was_driving/comtq3c)

I think that this accuracy change fucked over TD-s with no turret and very narrow gun arc the most, because you need to turn the hull and it makes the aiming circle go crazy.

Had a marder against me that turned towards me and missed on very close range.

My T-34 became super meta, who cares if you miss, next shot comes up faster than I can aim.

Supershings are imba, were so even in 9.5, how can you possibly cry about them?
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: AntiBlitz on February 17, 2015, 06:06:27 pm
Supershings are imba, were so even in 9.5, how can you possibly cry about them?

its just too easy to take snap shots at the springs on the turret, so easy in fact that you barely have to aim to hit them.  Thats my gripe with WoT's "heavy armored" tanks, because they are heavily armored, yet nobody gives a damn because its better to just take a tank thats agile, faster, more accurate, and has an overall better gun that will not only run circles around your slow tank, but have the laser accuracy to repeatedly pen those small weaknesses with .5 second aimed shots.

The meta of any unicum player is medium tanks, and its no wonder why.  Thats why im glad the accuracy is being nerfed, its about time a heavy tank can actually feel like it has a purpose, like it has weight on the field.

Also, the super pershing was completely overhauled, hell, they even reimbursed any player that wanted it after they changed it, which is why we are having the current E 25 issue, because they dont want to lose money again.  Id say the super pershing is in a fine spot at the moment, even better with the 9.6 accuracy.

anyways, my crying comment was more so associated to the fact that i always come close to getting the 3k damage needed, but i can never actually succeed in completing the mission, the type has a butt of a gun, and the super pershing is so slow i normally cant track down the last guy to score the 200 points needed.  I unfortunately dont have any high tier mediums beyond my premium, i just stopped going past the t-34-85.

Post by: AntiBlitz on February 18, 2015, 04:58:01 pm
these missions are so fucking frustrating! fuck me!!!!!!! 

The stupidest fucking missions, and i cant complete them.......

kill 2 arty in a medium, win and survive the battle, sounds simple, yet i cant complete it, i either can never get into a match with more then 1, or im fucking begging my teammates to let me get the last kill as they fire rounds past my head to kill the arty instead of the line of tank destroyers slaughtering us.  ALL ABOUT DAT KAY DEEH BRUU

cap the flag in a heavy tank, cause 2k damage, and kill 2 enemies.  Sounds simple enough, yet again, you are begging your teammates to not go hunting the last wounded tank across the map, and of course nobody ever has the patience to wait 5 seconds while the cap is done. 

Id pay, id fucking pay to have decent matchmaking, im so tired of the Mexican mornings with the field of tomato players.  Its like dota, all over again, nobody speaks english on the eastern NA server, only Portuguese and spanish.

Judging from the stats, Obj. 140 just seems the straight up better choice to go for after T-54. The gun leading to that seems like the better choice as well.

Oh, man, am i in for some grind now, though. 175 penetration is not much fun at tier9. And i need like 60k XP before i get the nice gun :/

But after that it should be super OP, I have seen gameplay of the tier IX-X russian mediums, and good god they rocked.

Mobile, stealthy, and a fast firing gun, awesome for outmanouvering your enemy.

Ah, sorry, but it's quite disappointing. The gun is super imprecise and takes an eternity to aim, and then an eternity to reload. 15 second reload at tier3 is HUGE. It can damage and seriously hurt anything it faces, though, if you manage to hit.

Oh, I already elited and sold the tank, but yes. Oh god the fucking reload timer.

I had a game were the first random shot set me on fire, and I had no fire extinguisher. Due to all the burned out components, I had a 32 second reload time  :lol:

I pretty much asked for the enemy team to come towards me and take me out of my misery because everything on my tank was damaged, or injured. Still took out one of my attackers though.

Equip derpgun, go oneshot every other tank of your own tier and even some tier5 tanks. It's not super heavily armored, but many tanks of it's own tier will struggle against it at a distance and it will survive most such derpgun shells as well. It's actually great, if you use it to shotgun stuff.

Worst stock grind in WoT history: T28 Prot

18 km/h top speed (going downhill and being pushed by two teammates) - 10 km/h with stock engine...
God awful 90mm hellcat gun QQ
Completely useless armor, completely riddled with weakspots...

Bought it and sold it the same day...

Don`t ever make the mistake of researching this tank... (T28 Prot Hate Thread (http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/423337-t28-proto/))


Btw does anyone know if you can use t6 scouts in t6 skirmishes?

Yeah, for extortionate prices, that will make you bleed silver. And you can buy silver with gold. It's still throwing cash at the screen, since they're simply OP, compared to regular AP and HE rounds, around which the game is balanced.

Post by: Kalitorian on March 04, 2015, 09:25:46 pm
It`s my best tank. Simple as that. After 25 battles I can easily say it`s awesome.

+ DPM
+ Aim time
+ Accuracy
+ Even t10 Meds are sacred when you close in for a ram :D

- somewhat sluggish (in comparison to ALL t7 lights)
- it`s a HUGE target (no really... dodging shots is impossible)

Detailed comparison between Aufklärungs Panther, LTTB and T71 (http://tank-compare.com/en/compare/aufklarungspanzer-panther/t71/lttb#T1=245I150I154I299I139&T2=80I59I50I99I115&T3=539I439I361I650I181)

Maybe I should jump the bandwagon and get a Cromwell for myself too, it is crazy overpowered.

People defend it with 'it has no armor', but armor matters nothing for a medium tank, people also spam apcr if you have any.

speed > armor, getting quite annoyed by these racecars circling me with pinpoint accuracy  :mrgreen:

the cromwell is a driving ammo box, every single match ive ever played and been hit, it nearly 9/10 times has been hit in the ammo rack.  The last 3 matches i played in it, i was ammo racked, repaired it, and ammo racked again.....
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Kalitorian on March 05, 2015, 09:39:04 am
What?

I have 400 cromwell games and I never had the feeling that I get ammo racked more than any other tank.

@Christo: If you want to farm WN8 play scouts or paper meds. I played 5 MT25 battles yesterday and had an average of 4,5k WN8.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Christo on March 05, 2015, 10:06:05 am
My most played are mediums, but what do you mean by paper exactly, what does it have to do with farming WN8?
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Kalitorian on March 05, 2015, 10:30:08 am
People tend to play paper Meds worse than tanks with some armor. This results in a lower average damage. Lower average damage means that if you do well (~3k dmg in a t9 med) you get alot more WN8.
E50 has an average damage of 1588 while Lorraine 40t has 1325.

LTs tend to have a really low average damage because newbies use them for suicide scouting. For example the MT-25 has 271 average damage (in comparison Cromwell has 560). So it`s quite easy to get purple WN8 by simply doing 600 dmg.

It must be because of the annyoing circledrifting they can do against me, that makes me think they are so good then.

They completely trash my Type 58 though, no surprise there.

Playing with my T-54 is really making me appreciate playing on lower tiers. Every other cunt is just spamming gold ammo on these high tier battles, fucksakes.

Just now, driving my T-54, tier10 battle, assault as attacking team. Rush towards a decent position... blam, a fucking amx13 90, with a full clip of gold ammo appears. Miss my first snapshot, as this purple wn8 (wonder how?) cunt just parks there and plants 4+ penetrating hits in me from long range, through angled frontal armor, all gold and sets me on fire.

World of Wallets, more like. As someone, who doesn't use premium ammo and consumables (except for whatever stuff i've got tons of from missions) because fair play (silly me, right?), just what is the fucking point sometimes...

This, so much this.  Youll never not see that garbage, and its depressing to play with them too, because you know you arent necessarily being outskilled, you are just being outpaid.  If theyd just remove the gold rounds altogether, the game would be much much better in my opinion.  Ive complained about it since i started playing world of tanks, but itll never change, its just apart of the free to play aspect, and thats why the whole e-sports side of world of tanks is a sham, atleast in my opinion.  No proper matchmaking, gold rounds, and pin point accurate guns.

IS-6 is a known gold slinger, everytime i see them, they are shooting gold.

Playing with my T-54 is really making me appreciate playing on lower tiers. Every other cunt is just spamming gold ammo on these high tier battles, fucksakes.

Just now, driving my T-54, tier10 battle, assault as attacking team. Rush towards a decent position... blam, a fucking amx13 90, with a full clip of gold ammo appears. Miss my first snapshot, as this purple wn8 (wonder how?) cunt just parks there and plants 4+ penetrating hits in me from long range, through angled frontal armor, all gold and sets me on fire.

World of Wallets, more like. As someone, who doesn't use premium ammo and consumables (except for whatever stuff i've got tons of from missions) because fair play (silly me, right?), just what is the fucking point sometimes...

I used to have a Maus... it seriously felt like just another paper tank in t10 because of gold ammo. It was a very very sad experience to play any matches in it (the crown of the line which is supposed to be your reward in a way).
I then realized that I only like tier 7 and 8.

For quite some time now premium ammunition has been available for credits. The same goes for premium consumables. They are just as much part of the game as skycancer. No pay to win. No wallet warriors.

I wouldn`t really want to play this game without premium ammo. German and Russian heavies would be OP as fuck. CW would be once again be IS7 and E5 only... (+Skycancer ofc).

The turret front is just as vulnerable as the E100`s. You need to angle that shit....

idgaf when premium ammo or consumables became open to the public, if they are so far out of reach of the public being able to use them nonstop, but others are completely okay with opening the wallet to do it, then thats pay to win, simple as that.  I cant shoot all premium ammo, and have chocolate, prem toolkits, and extinguishers on my tanks without going broke pretty quick  More then likely, just like ptx said, the instant you see some stat padding purple my old friend, he is more then likely shooting nothing but gold ammo, so yes, im being outpaid not outplayed.

As for the supposed "heavily armored tanks", thats a myth, there are only a select few tanks in the game with armor even worth a damn, the rest have to be so fucking angled at all times it still doesnt help anyways, theyll just shoot a weakspot, making all your work for not anyways, cough cough, kv-4.....

Well, if you spend your game in a medium tank hiding in some bushes well behind other teammates, then, yeah, i guess gold ammo is not an issue for you.

If, however, you play mediums aggressively, trying to push flanks and, y'kno, actually make use of armor strongpoints (such as the T-54 turret, and, against certain tanks, angled hull front armor), then a guy simply loading up a gold shell and suddenly rendering all of your armor irrelevant is kind of a big deal.

And no, i wasn't caught in the open, playing at the front does make you vulnerable to being yolo'ed by gold spammers.

I checked the battle outcome of that one game with the T-54. That AMX13 90 had done nothing else during the game, apart from yolo - unloading that single clip in my angled frontal armor. 2nd place in team by XP, probably good WN8. Gee-fucking-gee.

Yes, this. Gold ammo is straight up superior to regular AP ammo and pretty much renders most armor obsolete in most cases. The only reason why not everyone is using it is a pay-wall. That is the very definition of pay2win.

I don't frequent WoT forums often - has anyone ever suggested that, for example, premium accounts could get access to a separate battle MM, in which gold ammo/consumables/etc is unavailable?
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Kalitorian on March 10, 2015, 07:04:04 pm
As I already pointed out while we were playing... I see no reason whatsoever to be near the frontlines in a paper tank like the Lorraine 40t.

The main reason why premium ammo isn`t an issue for me is because I stopped playing "heavily" armored tanks because they are useless. Or atleast I stopped relying on my armor. My M103 is being shot through the turret front by equal tier tanks, my E75 is getting shot through the turret front by t10s and by gold-slinging t9s. The moment in WoT which made me loose faith in armor was an Obj268 penning the turret front of my IS7 with his ridiculous 400 pen APCR shell.

its sad, but youll be boo'ed out of the forums for even making the thread about it.  Simply put, wargamings largest audience is poor russians, so wargaming has to play this sort of bullshit beat around the bush shit to keep them happy because they are the largest demographic.  So rather then balance the game, make a proper matchmaking, and make it worthy of E-sports, they continue to sap the meager amount they can from poor russians rather then listen to the playerbase who actually has money, cough, cough, the west.

Look at the numbers, they speak for themselves;
http://ftr-wot.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-much-does-wg-earn-from-various.html

Honestly, i believe armored warfare will be the thing that kills or atleast steals a huge portion of the western audience that actually pays for its services away from wargaming, there you will find everything that we complain about actually fixed, because they actually listen to their playerbase, or atleast so far have done a tremendous job of doing so.

the WoT hivemind is against changes in general.
I once realized that because the great majority of those 'forum people' already posses a couple tier 8 premium tanks and often have a running premium account, they are no longer able to comprehend how expensive are the 'f2p' gold rounds. They just forgot that the tanks, which sustain their in-game money sink, were bought with real money. And eventually, they end up defending WG's f2p model.

I myself had two tier 8 premium tanks, and I could sustain gold rounds spending, so it's not like I'm arguing against the group that spends money in game. I just always felt like the gold rounds were spoiling the fragile structure of stat balance (which is actually pretty good if you consider using only regular ammo).

I think that in general it is a very clever move from WG, and the company itself perfectly understands how it works.
Title: Re: World Of Tanks
Post by: Christo on March 11, 2015, 07:27:12 am
Same thing can be said for changing MM spread propositions.

They will say that back in 2010 they had to play against tier X in a tier V tank, so the current one is balanced.

I know how it was then for gods sake, I played in the closed beta in 2010.

Idiotic argument.

I love TOG`s - on the enemy team. I can almost taste the WN8 visitors can't see pics , please register or login


A lonely TOG is a sad TOG - a sad TOG is a dead TOG. I never used my TOG outside of TOG platoons.

you do know the minute the market is flooded with them, like the type 59, they will nerf it into the ground, and thatll be it for the legendary tank.  Itll get the same fate as the old Mini-maus back in the day.  Luckily enough, wargaming will be the ones who made out on the deal selling a tank that meant to be ultra rare.

Post by: Kalitorian on April 01, 2015, 01:51:53 pm
Atleast for the next two month it won`t be nerfed. Which means lowtier will be unplayable.

Does anybody know if you can actually kill a Pz II J with a T18?

Well, time to stop playing low tier tanks like the LTP and some others then.

I have met PZ II J maybe twice as an enemy, and the side was easy to penetrate. But I don't want to meet them all the time, ugh.

Anyway this pissed me off more than the whole stuff:

I had a lulzy game on the same map ptx posted a screenshot of.

there was a 3 man TOG platoon that was going town, and I managed to spot them crossing the open area around the streets.

Tried to angle my KV-1 as much as possible, and started lightin' them up.
my tracks ate a lot of shots and I also got plenty of bounces because I sidescraped, like for the first time ever.

I got taken out eventually but my team ate the TOG platoon alive because they fired at me instead, cuz I caught them pants down in the open :D

sky cancer also wrecked them hard.

i literally bitched and complained about how heavy armor was absolutely shit and completely irrelevant in that game, just saw the whole uparmoring they are doing in one of those dev blog things on the site.  Was my main reason for leaving it this time, i spent a good solid 2 months working my ay up to the ST-1, and trying to do those heavy tank missions with tanks that, in my opinion sucked ass, i could have done a far better job in my medium tank.

http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/19/armor-change-public-test/

then a few months back i did the same complaining when it came to arty, then watched the video about how armored warfare was doing their arty and was like wow, why isnt this how WoTs does it.  I just dont understand these dev's, they make no sense when it comes to their game.  They listen to all this player feedback, and then do the complete opposite with absolute confidence that they are somehow correct in what they are doing.  (i should have just learned from the Ukraine thread)


Anyways the whole rant just comes down to, when they figure out the direction of the game, and give it some thought, maybe ill come back and pour some money into it.  Until then, ill let all my tanks dust over.

all the little textures for things like cranes and lifeboats and stuff are spazing out on mine by stretching giant textures across my screen similar to the issue with the Eastern horse in crpg with its giant wings.

It makes it kind of unplayable because it does it to all the damn boats.  Then, when i try and report the bugs, it sends me to a russian website, of which when i change the language to english, it takes me back to the main NA portal page, as if the website doesnt exist in english.

i checked the forums, and they were a wasteland, nobody was on them.  Now this might be because they are separated into EU/NA/RU/SEA, or maybe not, i didnt check.  But regardless i saw next to nothing on the forums about the issue.

Was probably just me, and not necessarily fairly representative of the game, but that was my about 5mins experience of loading the game up.  This only happens when i switch ships while in the port.

they put out a Czech techtree, and ive heard word of a swedish, italian, and a euro line still.  Im sure there will be a hungarian line.  Either way, i have a Toldi, and it was announced as the new "Hungarian" tank, so goddammit be proud Christo!

Nah, czech line got in the game, I know. czech this out

(click to show/hide)

quite fun for a tier IV. rekt those B2-s pretty nicely.

But no, hungarian tanks stay as german premiums, sweden tech tree is going to happen in 2016 probably, and italy later.

...btw that is the game that perfectly fits my ping and the main reason I have not been sighted on c-rpg servers any more lately.... discovered it only a few weeks ago, and am totally hooked.

Other nuts from here playing on the US East coast server: watch out for Hagendansk, madly and badly driving some British medium, usually... :D
Once I'm a bit better would be interested in some decent platoon buddies, but not too tryhard.

...and someone gift me a Mutz already! mostest stylish elegant cute Tier 8 premium tank ever! :D

P.S.: prefer playing tier 3-8, 5/6/7 are the best, top tiers are full of godawful beast tanks and hardcore tryhard bundlez of stickzes
