For good reason.

I'm still pretty frustrated on occassion when the bl-10 does no damage to the side of a tier 5 for a couple shots while I get damaged, but generally it's a great tank.

There's little as much fun in WoT as hitting a tier 10 for several hundred.

Got the ISU-152 yesterday and free xped the tracks and BL-10. First game, first shot, ammo racked a VK3601. This gun is loads of fun. Its crazy two shotting other tier 8s.

I have noticed some of the not so fun things of this gun though, like just tracking an A-20, or bouncing off a ferdi 3 shots in a row.

I like how after I finish the grind to the ISU-152 they add a new soviet TD line. Ballz.

wait what, where?

Link plox.

And yes, the BL-10 is the most temperamental gun in the whole game. I sacrifice a small critter every game before I play the BL-10.

Me and my friend has a great time yesterday though (him in ISU, me in OBJ). I'll upload some replays later when I get home.

Yoga, Links blocked at work.

However, Its on the WoT News.

There appears to be a split in the Soviet TD line Pre- SU-152..At the SU-100.

This is all I know. So..a New 7-10 Soviet TD line...wtf.. Theres pictures of the new tanks and everything..

I'm not sure the point...Im wondering if they will be faster more mobile...and the ISU line is more the DERP line.

I believe this new line branches from the SU85.

The top end tanks look a lot like the Ferdinand

 

[PowerYoga]

look like they are supposed to be fast and lightly armored. The obj 268 is ... open top? doesn't look like it has a lot of armor at all.

physics test is live. The screenshots and videos are hysterical. It should change a LOT of things.

5k gold gift if you manage to flip your tank upside down.

 

[Llwellyn]

Hmm, might have to not play Mass Effect 3 tonight and give this a shot. I've been looking forward to the physics.

Physics Test Server live stream... guy is a tad uptight though.

 

[Nintendesert]

Well the physics need work, I see tanks jumping off bridges and surviving the impact. I want to see them smashing not bouncing!!!!

Funny how he's running around in a battle and then complains when people shoot him. What did he expect? The graphics do look much better though. I like how the fast tanks can get airborne when doing jumps. It is going to be really different once this goes live.

Decided to start grinding the German Maus line today. Played 12 games in the Pz38 (tier 3), 11 wins, 2 Top Gun, all with a 50% crews and a camo net and binoc. Haven't had so much fun in this game for a while.

fun with obj 704, BL-10 teamwork actions.

My brother and I have been playing our ISU-152s together, and it can be devistating. Other tier 8s are two shottable with good damage rolls, even with shitty damage rolls they are barely left alive. I have to say the pen and damage for the BL-10 seems a little OP for tier 8. I dont even mind being in tier 10 games, since the gun blows holes in them just as easily as any other tank.

How much of an improvement in reload time is the object over the ISU? I think the ISU has a better camo value than the object. I'm left wondering if I even want to get the object, since tier 6-8 games are way too much fun, since tier 6s are one shottable.

 

[Possessed Freak]

The 704's reload speed is drastically better than the ISU's.

what he said. I'll have to look it up when I get home but it's at least 5-6 seconds faster on a reload.

Last game in my JagPzIV I got 5 kills, and we finally found the last spg. I rushed in for a kill, it was reduced to 4% hp already, I was so sure I was going to get a kill but my shot only took 1% off its hp and I missed top gun. It was so wrong but lol.

 

[Binky]

I love pubs.

End of game last night: we had 2 arty and me in a T30. Other team had 3 arty. Three or four of our (all dead) whiny ass team was crying about me being a whimp and I should charge in. I told them to F-off. My impression was that our HUGE advantage was me being alive. They wanted a slow-ass T30 to run in and try to take out 3 arty. Yeah, not the best tactics.

I told our arty to go in an flush them out. He did it and I one-shotted all three of their arty. Our arty even survived! So moral of the story, do what you think is right and ignore the kiddies crying at you to do something stupid.

I had an epic game in my 59 last night. We were completely overrun in the 0 line on lakeville. It was our platoon of 3 tier 8's and a JT88 against the world (we had arty support). After a furious fight, it was me in a hull down position and the JT88 against a very damaged undead horde of 8's. Then I finished off the world's dumbest T34. Shot a JPanther going to our cap (instead of smacking me). Saved the JT from an enemy 59. One shot 2 other 44/59's. And then I one shot a KV2. The Jt88 was down to single digit hitpoints, I still had 400. We still had 2 arty and a T34 (second world's worst) in the valley. The pubs wanted me to flush a full health tank out of the middle (we knew it was there) and I said hell no and went up the 0 line. I encountered and killed an enemy hummel. The mid tank was lit and arty nailed it. The T34 that was in the valley STILL refused to push on the single severely damaged ARL. So I capped it out for the win.

It looked like a loss until I was able to get hull down and just annihilate the horde. Finished with top gun, steel wall, invader, sniper, and bolter's medal. And a very impressed platoon.

Oh and I was called a hacker in my KV5 after I raped an IS, JPanther, and Panther 2. I used the positioning to repeatedly track them and wreck them. I set the Panther 2 on fire twice by hitting the lower plate. MUAHAHAHAHA.

This, infinitely this. Actually, after installing XVMs I can check who to take advice from. If the guy is 600 eff with a 45% win rate giving "advice", I do my best to alert the team to the terribad advice. (Usually ends up being "lets all rush this way" or some idiotic advice).

If the guy is green or purple and is actively trying to help me out, those are usually guys that are above the battlefield and has a better idea of what's going on.

 

[Fire&Blood]

Think I'm done. After ~24k battles between beta and live combined. Literally just a few clicks away, I've been talking myself into playing just one battle for like 20 minutes and still didn't launch it. Despite the new Catleap and new 7950.

XVM can be quite depressing though. I hate seeing that I'm the only person on my team with a >50% win rate. Its even worse when you look at your 2 tier X tanks on your team and they both have a 43-45% win rate.

Also with the new MM changes, playing tier 9-10 tanks pretty much blows. Every game has 3-6 arty per side.

After the new changes my Tier 5 VK2801 gets placed in those mathces a lot...(scouts have different matchrankings)...my Arty kills is on the rise...and I am getting good at hitting parked arty with the 105 mm HE while driving by at 71km/h...so for scouts the new changes are fun...but since I also drive every tier from 1-10...I get hit too.
