[MMO] World of Tanks

[Skott]

I've said it before and I'll say it again for those who haven't read this whole thread... If I were to never buy premium and only wanted to play battles that had the best balance between all the nation tanks I'd play my Tier 2 T-26 tank. Tier 2 has about the best balance in the game and gives you some tanks with some power and performance and a big fun factor. Its not that the higher tier tanks have no fun factor but because of the match making system starts to really mess with you and you get thrown into some really off sided battles where you have no chance of doing anything remotely near anything good or fun. In Tier 2 the other tanks you face are not overpowering and you can take on any of them and live. Its more of player skill and occasionally some random luck. You don't have to worry about money or gold either if you do die.

I highly recommend the PIV if someone only wants to go that high. You make money and with that long 75 you are very dangerous even to higher tiered tanks. It's probably my favorite tank to play.

 

[Genx87]

I have a blast in the lower tiered games.

damn the e50 is expensive to run as even the 10,5 has problems pen'ng a lot of stuff. and the rof makes you fire off more than you want LOL

Arty event is terrible.

Seeing 5-6 arties in battles every single game is freaking annoying. of all the events they have to make an arty-related one???

 

[Skott]

I haven't played last two days. Whats the arty event?

 

[stag3]

what was, tier 4-5 arty's got double xp or something
it's over already i think

 

[Binky]

I'm annoyed that my arty is only tier 4.

Oh well, I grabbed a half price Sherman E8.

 

[Skott]

Enjoying the T29 so far. Just got the 105mm and upgraded turret. Not a bad tank. Can dish out hurt and take some hits.

 

[PowerYoga]

hope you're not using the turret with the rabbit ears. That thing can be penetrated by the smallest tanks and the hits that land there almost always do full damage.

 

[gamerguy2]

Or just play for free. You're not forced to buy anything.

The game IS exceptionally well balanced. I have 2 accounts. I have played in only 2 shutouts in random battles since I started playing.

When they put a t10 in with t5's its a little unbalanced. But a good player knows if you are at the bottom, you wait for the big stuff to take a few hits. Paying some money for something you enjoy is no problem. Its the top tier stuff that I have an "issue" with (meaning not being able to play with something you paid for).

 

[Skott]

PowerYoga,

Yeah, its only a problem up close really. Trick is to wiggle the turret they say. I know from shooting them myself they are a problem but I wanted the longer view range the turret provides. Its still a pretty good tank despite its weak spots. There are much worse tanks in this game. Not sure if I want to progress beyond it though. I hear the line turns sucky beyond the T29. At least until you get to the T30 at the end. I just wanted to try out a T29. Its the only real reason I went down the American heavy line to begin with.

I'm pushing on to the E75 eventually from the the Tiger 2. Haven't been playing my E50 much. Not really impressed with it to be honest. I think they nerfed it too much before release. So far I think the T54 is still King of Mediums. Patton probably second. Never played one but fought them enough to know they can be a bothersome lot. Great view range. Good speed and hitting power. I'd like to try one some day.

 

[Exterous]

I just got top gun with the Lee.
1125 XP (non premium) making $20,500 and a $93 repair bill. (Ammo is free)

I still hate the damn thing...

I didn't see this promotion.

The only place I see them usually is an in-game mesage.

 

[Possessed Freak]

I didn't see this promotion.

The only place I see them usually is an in-game mesage.

Initial splash screen should have the Ad on it.

Saw it today

Easy 8, I think. Already have some others.

 

[Skott]

I like the Tiger but the M4A3E8 is a real joy to play. Its fast and has a good gun that has a fast reload when paired up with a gun rammer. A real shoot and scoot tank. Just doesn't have much armor so serious dog fighting with it isn't recommended. Its a fun tank to play around with.

 

[novasatori]

man I tried to not play this game as long as I could after the beta ended, but I gave in during the event. (Fact that BF3 seems so far away also helped push me back to it)

Trying to get to the Tiger, I am up to the VK3601 already, so I should get it while it's still half off...

 

[Merad]

If anyone wants to do some Tier 7+ platooning this afternoon or tonight, look for me (Merakys) in game.

 

[stag3]

damn keep forgetting to check what i need to get the 1/2 price tiger
as i never started german heavy's hahahah
hope there's a split like russian so i can get over lines

 

[bockie]

I've recreated the ATOT channel on the US Server. Password is the same (moomoo). If anyone ever wants to platoon, either send me a message in game or hop in the ATOT channel.

 

[Binky]

I think they broke the M7 priest (arty). A week ago, my fully upgraded M7 with 100% crew could hit things reasonably well. Now, I'm lucky to hit a stationary target after waiting for the aiming to completely finish. The round just seems to randomly drift anywhere but on top of the target. I've had maybe 2 kills in the last 10 games because I can't hit anything. With 20+ shots in a game, I'm lucky to hit with 3 or 4. This is total BS.

I started up a little POS SU-18 to see if all arty is broken, and I can hit things with stock everything and 52% crew on this POS a LOT more. WTH?

 

[stag3]

it's not you i'm lagging like crazy today
i missed 8 shots in a row in my 704, all @ ~300m
usually i hit 90% of the time @ ~400m

100% crew + vents

 

[Merad]

And here I thought my ISP was just being crappier than usual. I did about 4 games tonight and just gave up.
