I actually lost a lot of money using the 122. Each shot is 1k and the pen is way too low for its tier and the tanks its fighting... and it has a pretty fast firing rate as well. Went back to the 152 and immediately started earning more exp/credits. But this was before the HE nerf, so 122 might be a better solution now.

same here, i remember i wasn't able to damage higher tier tanks with the 122, it was great however for anything below you. i also completed the su and isu grind using HE only until i unlocked the bl-10 on the isu.

Of course I've seen those plenty of times in my other tanks, never know why they do it - the M18 is a fine sniper and flanker and packs a nice punch compared to its miniature size.

As long as it is driven by somebody with half a brain. So many times I see the american TD's suiscout.

I've done it upon ocassion. I'll wait until things have thinned out though and other scouts have already gone in and done their thing. If any arty remains I'll zip in and kill. It does work. Mostly I just like to get in close enough to see them spotted and then snipe from a safer distance. But, yeah, a early suicide run is rather wasteful of a good TD.

Anyone have the solution for following issue, only happens in wot?

It's difficult to describe: when it happens, my ping remains completely steady at a digit (example 80ms) for about a second and whatever last input I made, the tank keeps doing it even after I stop pressing keys. Sometimes it lasts a second, most of the time but it can last as long as 10 seconds. It only occurs when there is action so it always gets me killed or hurt badly.

When it lasts for at least few seconds, if I was turning at the moment it happens, the tank will continue to turn as if I am still holding the keys.

Is it as if your tank is 'skating on ice?' If so, that's (unfortunately) straight up lag. You're losing your connection to the WoT servers intermittently and the client is trying to guess what's going on. It just assumes the last command is still being input and updates your screen with a best guess.

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 in the middle of a shooting fight and suddenly my tank becomes unresponsive like I'm stuck (as if hung up on a ridge except I'm on a flat area with nothing to hang me up). Visually, I see my tank tracks moving but it doesn't look like it is going anywhere to me as it's tracking in place. I'll try to turn, back it up, etc. and I get no noticeable response. After a few seconds, the tank suddenly "transports" to a new location. If my tank was visually tracking forward, it will jump forward to the place it would be if it was moving forward for the time it was unresponsive. Typically this means my tank has moved out of cover and into the middle of enemy fire so I'm usually going to be dead from it.

My take on it, is my game is lagging for whatever reason. I wasn't astute enough to make note of the network indicators on the WOT screen, so I can't say what those were saying at the time. After experiencing this a few times and also noticing that the WOT client run over a long time seems to have a detrimental effect (I get memory issues) on my computer when run without rebooting for a long time, I now regularly reset my computer to give it a fresh start every few days or so (instead of sleeping the computer). Since I've started doing this (the past couple of weeks), I haven't seen the problem.

Yes indeed. I figured it was lag but wasn't sure, didn't occur in other games.

I just had a couple of incident and I tried shooting during. Basically, it fires the gun and instantly reloads, you can fire again. When the episode lasts longer, I notice the "skating" as well.

My ping has now gone up a bit, peaking at 120ms and has a wider range, between 50ms-120ms, used to be 60ms-90ms.

So close to the Pershing. And my T-20 has become a death trap for me. After getting it into the low 60s for win %. I can barely get a win in it. I think my win % has dropped a solid 15-20%. Looking forward to getting into the Pershing. Playing a lot of Type 59 to get credits for both the Pershing and E75.

happens to me if I'm lagging badly, or if my connection is stuttering. You'll have to just hope for a better connection.

Brace yourself. The Pershing is not all that. You get a bit more sturdiness at the cost of speed and matchmaking. Your gun 'upgrade' will boost your pen from 160 to 180 but otherwise leave damage, accuracy and RoF the same.

Just to add insult to injury, once you're done collected the 150,000 or so exp to get the Patton you STILL have the same gun until you collect another 100,000 experience in that tank. So yeah, you're over a quarter of a million experience points away from a gun that can actually hang at T9 and T10.

I love my Pershing. Great at peek-a-boo warfare fighter. I dont play it like a T59 though. Get killed doing that since it is easier to hit. Use cover and speed and flank that way. Mine is fully upgraded though.

That's kind of the same case for all tier 9 mediums. T-54 you need to grind the turret and then another 63k for the gun. E-50 you need to get tracks, turret and then another 60ish K for the gun. Not sure about the batchat.

Is everybody still loving the new american tanks? I almost feel like they're good enough to expect a nerf. Either that, or I just became a better tanker by suffering through the original T34 (elited it w/o using free XP).

T30 - Oddly the same, but not necessarily bad. The gun can just about one-shot tier 7 mediums, and now people expect me to hide.
T34 - Capable, but slow and squishy with a nice gun. I do very well in this tank. I like it as much as my IS3 but it also makes lots of money.
M103 - My least favorite of the changes, moderately better than the old T34
T110 - This thing is an absolute terror in the right hands. I'm not used to bouncing shots in an American heavy! I love it. The gun is just amazing. People actually hide when they see me. I keep looking for a "Made in Russia" stamp on it.

Just had a great game in my T29.
3 kills and lots of damages for 1155 exp and 32679 credits, that's without 2x nor premium.
I really like a fully upgraded T29, it can hang with T8 heavies. The 105mm with rammer and vents and 100% crews can be fearsome.

Is there not some way to permanently set the view option for the team lists in game? Fugging annoying changing them every match.

Ran my first clan war battle. I think it will be my last clan war battle! I am not cut out to be a commander... too much stress!!! We won handily, and everyone who was on our side said I did a damn good job but regardless of our performance, I just want to be a grunt or possibly a section leader.

Thank goodness I was counter artied early (and yes I was relocating but a t92 spouting gold is probably going to catch ya). After I died I could coordinate the attack better.
