battlelines: another FTP tank game

If you are looking for another ftp tank game to get your tank fix, come try out battlelines: Steel Warfare. Its not a first person view like WoT, and its definitely a lot less frustrating that WoT, especially since you respawn and such. Its free on steam, and just launched a few days ago...

War Thunder - F2P Combat Flight MMO

Mouse controls do make things easy. But then again its needed since alot of people don't own a joystick. Also if you advance to full real battles, you pretty much have to use a joystick. By the way, I play almost all arcade battles. I tried historical, and while I found it fun, the time it...

[MMO] World of Tanks

Well the results from the light tank marathon are out, and I did indeed win me a type59 with my spectacular t21 game. Now I just have to wait for delivery. I guess I'll have to set war thunder down for a bit once it arrives and take it out for a spin.

Frontal Shots: The two most common places to shoot a tank that will almost always pen is either the commanders cupola (part sticking out of the top of most turrets), or the lower glacias. Machine gun ports are also usually weakspots. The more important thing to learn though is, is it even...

[MMO] World of Tanks

I went passed that next .5 percentage cutoff to make 64% over the weekend. If I can keep up my usual w/r of 75%, the number of games it'll take me to improve to the next % start to become staggering. I'll need ~1600 games to get to 65%, and then ~1900 to get to 66%. Oh how I wish I could just...

[MMO] World of Tanks

Since its 15v15, a match can start to snowball into an avalache quite quickly with just a few kills. Sometimes good players can stop the inevitable, but usually once its started, its hard to put a stop to. In some games the enemy falls so quickly that it just becomes a competition against...

I think it could all just bad RNG (although I don't discount a conspiracy theory). Most modern software random number generators create blocks of random numbers (b/c its faster and easier to generate a block of numbers at a time, give them to a client, and then verify the clients results). So...

[MMO] World of Tanks

Two good communities that have socials clans and channels are ARS (arstechnica.com) and reddit (reddit.com/r/worldoftanks). Pretty much anyone can join thier social clans and they both have a Team Speak server so that its easy to find some decent platoon mates. Of course once you platoon...

The E-50, alot like the T-54, is one of those tanks that greatly benifits from the use of premium. You go from 220pen to 270pen, and its APCR and not HEAT so don't have to worry about "bouncing" if you hit the tracks. 220 pen just doesn't really cut it when playing against tier 10s and can be...

[MMO] World of Tanks

If you have good stats, the best way to improve your W/R is to platoon with other good people (most important part: OTHER GOOD PEOPLE). One or two extra good people on your team instead of a 46%er can make a world of difference. On another note, I'm convinced 95% of players play fully...

[MMO] World of Tanks

The retards were out in full force this weekend, and they were all on my team. That and I think they finally implemented that patented code into MM. My platoon ended up bottom tier in at least 75% of our games over the weekend. It was rough. Hell we even had a game where it was my tier 6 platoon...

[MMO] World of Tanks

Quite a few of my crews have 3 skills, and I think I'm up to 5 crews that have 4 skills (T34, IS-3/6 268, vk3601, and E-100 minus that damn 2nd loader). Most of my 4 skilled crews are probably in the 60-70% range on thier 4th skill, while I do believe my best crew (T-34) is sitting close to...

[MMO] World of Tanks

I would assume it would end up being x6 xp and not x9. Although win the last mission (top gun most likely) and it happen to be your double for the day and have crew xp turned on and one lucky crew member is gonna get a shitton of xp. I can see me maybe finally rounding out some of those few...

They apparently forgot to change the ammo price on the T54 in 8.6, so they snuck it into 8.7. Due to this, they sold all your current T54 ammo. I ended up getting almost 8M back for my stockpile of T54 ammo. Now I have another issue, since they sold off all my ammo stockpiles, I'm sitting on...
