[MMO] World of Tanks

I saw a lot of that type of dumb play on the new map, so in one battle I made a point of telling the team the battle was in the city and not to lemming into the valley. Still in that battle two of our most powerful heavies go there. We are left with mediums and 2nd tier heavies trying to hold...

Llwellyn, I like Possessed Freak's advice. Basically, you're not having fun in the game and are on the verge of giving up on it for whatever reasons (feeling that you're not good as you expect you should be, etc.). I think taking a step back to the lower tiers is good as it resets things...

WOT's wording of the shell sale from a couple of weekends ago implied it was gold only. However, in reality when the shells went 1/2 off gold, it directly reflected on the shell's silver credit price with 1 gold translating to 400 silver.

Thanks for the great tips and experiences on the Panther II guys. It sounds like a tank I'd have a lot of fun with (the best reason to play) so it's pushed its way back on top of my to get list.

Fun sounds like the right way to approach this game. So tell me what makes the Panther II and the E-75 fun for you? How do you like to play it to maximize your fun? I'm just curious as I've got the Panther II researched and trying to decide if I should buy it. I liked the Panther and...

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. :) Makes me thankful that my tank repair costs are so cheap. It'll make me think twice about complaining about the high cost of repairing my high tiered tanks after they get demolished in battle ... LOL!

Like most tanks the T-28 is bad as a stock tank. I remember the suspension upgrade is a must as the stock suspension is really quirky to use. If I remember right it used to rock a lot when moving and stopping to shoot making aiming very difficult. It also had a tendency to cause the tank to...

Can you share your thoughts about the T14? I got one with the lastest gold packages and I find it to be a lot of fun too. It's a nice consistent money maker. I had a day where I was a major fail on my trusty KV-2 in making decent credits -- it was a dry streak -- so I changed to this and it...

I got a S-51 with the recent sale too. I'd be interested in any tips you have on using it from your recent experience. I'm somewhat of an arty newb and have only played maybe a few dozen games with tier 2 T57 and Buffalo when I first started WOT (my friend who introduced me to WOT loved...

I think WOT may have given you one of the KV-2's from the 7.3 batch with a crooked barrel if you're missing that much. :) Seriously, your gunner is probably not using the gun right yet. After 40+ battles since the 7.3 patch, my gunner is hitting at a 75 percent rate and that's with me...

I finally had a decent tier 10 game with my new derpy KV-2 after a couple really bad ones (as in one shot by the big guns ... LOL!). In that battle, my KV-2 put hits on a T-50-2 (one shot him) charging down base on an arty hunt, hit a Maus at range (400M -- they look HUGE even that far...

KV-2 is good, maybe better as the old derpy KV of the past (definitely a cleaner look). My old really experienced crew before the patch went to the KV-1, but I got a brand new 100 percent crew with no skills/perks. They dismounted all my equipment from my old KV. I mounted the old rammer...

You had me worried as the KV derp before the 7.3 patch was my favorite tank because of its heavy punch. However, after taking it for a spin with the 7.3 patch, the 152 derp seems to still have a very good punch. In the first game, it took 33 percent of the hit points off of a KV-3 (I figured...

The attraction for me of the KV with derp is that the gun makes it effective no matter what tiered match the tank gets put in. You can't say that for the 107. The KV with the derp is one of the few tanks where I don't feel gloom and doom if tossed into a high tiered match. You can be on...

After the 7.2 patch went in I saw something very similar to that as I saw the KV getting to be the top tank in the majority of its matches. I only use the derp on my KV so I can't say much about differences in behavior when mounting the 107. After seeing this pattern for a day or two, I...

That joy you experienced in hitting the hull down T34 is why the derpy KV is my favorite tank despite all of it's many short-comings -- it's slow in every way possible (especially the reload), has a boxy dumpy look, has inadequate armor relative to tanks it faces, etc. However, it has that...

Trying to earn the 3.5 million credits needed to buy the IS-4 (before the 7.3 patch goes in) I was playing my derpy KV money maker last night, and had a great tier 9 match. In tank alley on the Himmelsdorf map, I worked behind a VK4502(P) using him for a shield -- VK's are a great shield as its...

I would have thought lemming behavior would cease in higher tiered matches after players become more experienced and better players. However, I often see it there too. It used to frustrate me to see my team leaving a flank wide open, but then I realized that it's just a game and some people...

I got my IS-3 last week, researched and mounted the BL-9 gun (a great suggestion by lurkerprime to make the IS-3 playable for me) and grinded out the 165K of XP's to research the IS-4. That felt good to achieve. Now I need to earn the 3.5 million credits to buy the IS-4 before the 7.3 patch...

Thanks for the IS-3 tips LurkerPrime. They are very helpful. I'll be working to earn the bl-9 for my IS-3. Fortunately I have free XP's I've been saving, so it's probably an opportune time to spend them. Happy tanking. :)

Thanks for the 7.3 info Nintendesert. Your last sentence is part of the big grin joy of playing the KV derp. However, when KV derp's are on the other side, they are one of the first I'm going to try to kill. It's certainly no fun to be on the receiving end of the blast. It's one of those...

What's the best guess as to when 7.3 will come through? I'm slowly grinding through the Russian heavies for that reason also. The KV with the derp is my favorite tanks and is a pretty easy grind. With the derp gun, it makes the KV tank effective in just about any tiered match. The higher...

In hundreds of games played over the past 3 months, I generally didn't have the problem you described. However, I've seen is a few times just in the past few weeks. From that, it feels like something recently introduced (however, it's just a guess). My experience with it is also typically...

The derp KV is my favorite tank to play also. I've had it for about a month now and this is the first tank I've gotten where I didn't feel over matched and somewhat helpless (where you feel your tank has a pea shooter relative to the tanks you are facing) when tossed into the higher tiered...
