Good game. Better than cRPG. I just wish I took the time to get good at it so I could enjoy it more, heh.

[Ninja_Khorin]

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.

Stug3 is an awsome tank to play. I didnt have that much fun on other tanks.

[Christo]

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

After Hetzing so much it was like heaven.

The new british tanks are OP, at least on tiers 2-4, helluva fun too

Better than cRPG.

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.

only one thing to says about this game...

WORST CAMPING GAME EVER! 

That is all! 

[[ptx]]

Only a noob can call this a camping game, because campers lose, badly. Attacking is where it's at.

[CaveSquirrel]

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.

I think we can all agree on this ''Artillery(SPG) = Archers''

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.

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.

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.
