Tank MMO, with arcade gameplay, list of upgrades (3 types of guns per one vehicle, for example), few trees of progress (tanks, self-propelled guns, light and heavy). In initial release soviet and german AFVs, later US, japanese etc. World of Tanks is non-historical game, but all tanks is real - production vehicles, prototypes of "paper tanks". Also german and soviet tanks can be used on one side. No "nations", only few ways for progress.

T-34

Tiger (in World of Tanks all german vehicles is grey. Maybe not good from historical side, but ok for gameplay)

What orcs have to do with tanks?


in World of Tanks all german vehicles is grey.
Now that sucks, why not paint them all dunkelgelb if you must paint them one color.

Ok.. Where to start.

Their PR department is retarded, who the fuck comes up with such a trailer.. I was about to click away half way 'cause of the stupid orc killing elves.

Anyway, looks nice, good start, shame of the grey, looking forward to see what it becomes. Any more tanks to expect or only Germany/Russia?

Well, story of World of Tanks is funny.
In first time, team start project of MMORPG with orcs and elves. But later idea is changed - they start development MMO about tanks  ;D
Germany/Russia only for first release, another nations later. First release for ex-USSR only, english release already with new nation (USA, i think).
Also - main team of developers located in Minsk, Belorussia.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kubador on 25-07-2009, 14:07:05
Yes I read it. That explains why they used models made only for a trailer (normally that would be too much work) but as it's a trailer it's made for public that do not know that fact. So figure what would most of MMO gamers think when they see this trailer. I'm sure they intended to make a reference to WoW AND to their previous work.

I'm just guessing here, but there might be options in the game to upgrade your cannon etc. since its an MMO?

Yes I read somewhere that there will be like 3 upgrades.

Looks good! and I'm no realism freak, at least not when it comes to visual inaccuries, the "germans are all grey" doesn't bother me one bit, I kind of like it. I think the tanks look better in grey than camo.

Yes, they were issued to HQ units as command tanks.  75mm gun though, same as the Pz4H, just mounted on a panther tank.

And that Panther tank with short barrel is a travesty....

They were not issued to any units. There is only one of those vehicles known and it is a field modified Bergepanther that was used in schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653.

I don't know why you guys say the first trailer was bad, I thought it was hilarious. When the T-34 came in I was just like "And that's how Russians play WoW, suckas! BWAHAHAHA!" I mean really, who else but the Russians would come up with an MMO, about tanks? Ah, that's what makes it a great country.

World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.

A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers, each unit type has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace.

But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In the World of Tanks, it’s all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield. Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank!

The Ultimate Armored Warfare Experience
Dive into intense tank-on-tank combat to enjoy an amazing new battlefield experience with a balance of multiple genres. A unique blend of these "ingredients,” supported by top-notch graphics and stunning audiovisual effects, provides endless challenge and excitement:

Simulator. Authentic models and vehicle characteristics make you feel like a real tank commander taking part in a furious armored offensive.

RPG. Your armored steed isn't just a tin can on tracks - it’s a living, evolving mechanism that should be treated accordingly. Research your available upgrades and modifications to enhance its performance on the battlefield.

Action. Take part in joint operations to spot, track, and destroy enemy units and engage in head-to-head duels where your speed and reaction time is as important as in any co-op shooter.

Strategy. There’s only one simple rule to follow - don't be a hero. Rally your comrades to devise a battle plan and assign roles, then move out and defeat your enemy on the field of honor.

Dynamic Combat System
New players jump into battle in less than a minute to take part in short, decisive combat actions designed to ensure fast and action-oriented warfare. As you are thrown onto the battlefield, you must be bold, decisive, and flexible to succeed in the maelstrom of iron and fire.

Epic Tank Clashes
Intense battles with up to 60 combat vehicles unfold on enormous and detailed battlefields featuring a variety of terrain from open fields with hills and forests to deserts and industrial zones. The terrain offers a wide scope for tactical decisions from aggressive fast-paced thrusts to elaborate flanking operations and diversionary attacks.

Deep Squad-based Gameplay
Out to conquer the world? Then our highly addictive squad-based gameplay is your ultimate goal. Countless new lands and territories let you show off your teamwork - the key to victory. The distribution and timely accomplishment of tasks and objectives within your squad gives you a critical advantage over your disorganized rivals.

Feel the TANK POWER!

I think they are testing it on russians in order to present a better beta-test product for europeans ))) But in general the game is great-loking even at this stage! There're tanks and SPGs fighting each other. Different types of shells so you can choose a proper balance depending on the game or team you're playing in.

Ask questions! I'll try to answer. I think some of my friends in CBT have made a video of it I'll ask them and post as soon as I find it

From what I know (just a mental image I've created of the game), take World of warcraft and replace characters with tanks.
Except that this isn't a free-roam world, but you load huge maps where you fight the enemy team in scenarios.
most likely wrong though, but that's what I think.

Probably the Leichttracktor.

Is this game easternfront only or does it have the US and Britain too for example.

The Pz 1 is the Leichttraktor.

This game will feature Russian, German, British and American Tanks as far as I know.
The EU Beta will most likely have Ru,De and Us tech trees.
The game itself is a free to play title where you can invest as much as you like by micro transactions. As seen above, you can buy premium French tanks in the German tech tree. Other things like better ammo (i.e. PzGr. 40), XP boosts, health boosts and garage space can also be bought for cash.

Argh, microtransactions, i hate those, there better be servers that don't allow it (a la runescape), otherwise i am not playing a game where some rich 11 year old can be better then me because he has faster reload, better ammo, better armour, more hp, faster topspeed then me.

Good to know there are 4 nations tough

You are looking at this all wrong Siben. Microtransactions are the future! Capitalism bested Communism on it's last front. Finally no one has to live with the restrictions of a communistic system where everyone gets the same equipment no matter what his financial background is.
Rejoice in the new freedom where everyone is free to do what he wants and has a choice (at a reasonable price)!





j/K. I don't like transactions with pay for more skill character either.

Leichttraktor is  NOT the Panzer I

Panzer I is not in because it only had  MGs and those a very ineffective against tanks as most of you should know.
and since this a tank vs tank game you just cant use it. but there is the panzerjäger one that is based on the panzer I chassi.

and for money - microtransactions

you dont get any ingame benefit from spending money. the only thing you can get is premiun account that will let you lvl up faster and get money faster but your T-34 will be exactly the same as the  "premium account" T-34   (considering you both have the same "upgrades" for the tank.

sure there will be  some "premium tanks" that more or less can be bought with real money but they cant be upgraded at all and wont help you develop you techtree.

i ve been playing the russian closed beta for quite a while now and had lots of fun using mostly german tank destroyers. i managed to play up to the jagtpanther which is pretty neat, i even upgunned it to a 10,5cm medium long gun instead of the long barrel 88mm you know. from most games.


anyways the game is fun, there is so many stuff i havent even heard of and upgrading your tanks is great too. sometimes upgardes lead to completly different playstiles.

for example there is this A-20  russian light tank, basically a better BT-7 so you know it is extremly fast. after upgrading the turret and suspension i could uses 3 types of guns leading to 3 differnt playstyles.
- short barrel 76mm gun/howitzer  - good for light tank hunting and killing of artillery but more of less useless against real tanks. high damage, long relaod but low penetration

- long barrel 57mm gun, great for tank hunting with high velocity rounds and quite fast reload, but due to the small caliber only small damage

- and a fracking 37mm autocannon :D, great for taking out light tanks, artillery, and tracks on bigger tanks you cant penetrate. great for flanking with high rate of fire you can very well fire while driving around with 60+ km/h

just an example what you can do depending on you playstyle.

same thing with panzer IV
i think i starts with a long barrel 5cm gun and can be upgarded to short 75mm, medium long 75mm and long 75mm.

most variation on guns so far are on the russian tanks, german tanks most times just feature upgrades which are most times better than the previous gun. but on tanks like KV you have many choises, do i get the KV2 or KV3 turret upgrade ?
do i want the 152mm gun that can fire only twice a minute but kills almsot everything in 1 shot , but leaves me with this huge badly armored turret ?
or do i upgrade to the KV3 turret which doesnt give me the biggest guns but better speed and smaller profile ....


btw before fight you can change tank configuration so nothing is set in stone ;)

anyways before i talk to much i better quit

euro beta should be up in the next few weeks, featuring USSR, German and American tanks

Wow, this game looks awesome. I personally rather it be free with micro transactions than expensive as a one time payment :D. I play Navy Field and trust me, it may be more difficult for us cheapos to get super ships, but it is possible and highly gratifying when you sink Richy Riches super battleship. Tactics and personal skill gives you a much bigger advantage than the cute special abilities that he may have.

Hate to break it to you but according to the final full german tree Panzer I and Panzer I Ausf. C will be in.

http://www.worldoftanks.com/media/gallery/default/full_german_tree.jpg

The Ausf. C had a 20mm autocannon but I'm unsure about the normal Panzer I, there was an experimental version of it with a Panzer III Turret but that would be weird on that level.

It's the starter tank for a reason, all factions will have a small sized tank for newbies to start with.
Also the game will have a Panzer I but not until after the game is released:

http://game.worldoftanks.com/news/general_news/full_tank_trees_revealed

the news post pretty much tells you the story.

Here (http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/7976/1207846107leichttraktordr8.jpg) is a picture of the small Leichttraktor btw.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 02-07-2010, 10:07:12
leichtraktor was one of the first attemps to circumvent the versaille traities

same as the "grosstraktor"  the name indicates some farming vehicle and the parts were produced in many different factories and the final "tank" assembled in secrecy but mostly used for crew training.

anyways THIS is the tank you wil start with in the german tree
russian start with the MS-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-18_tank/ )  whihc in my expereince sucks even more than the leichtraktor. but after a handfull of games you either have upgrade those 2 tanks a bit so they can fight a bit usually by getting a better turret and dumping the inital gun and chaning to a 20mm autocannon,since in the lower tier batles you can penetrate almost all tanks with it from the front. after a few fights more, you will have upgraded to panzer II or BT2 something like that.


anyways i hope to see some familiar names in the beta.
so far i ve had lots of fun in the russian closed beta, and lately they added 2 new features to the game. crew with eperience and skills that level up. and additional equipement, like camouflage nets, or periscope optics but those are extremly expensive so dont expect them to get them early on.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Excavus on 02-07-2010, 11:07:58

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 02-07-2010, 12:07:44
i m not sure what they are "looking for"

i got into the russian closed beta because i guy i know works for Acer or something and he said , "hey give me a couple of keys and maybe if we like it we can work out a deal later..."
in the end he got like 20 keys and gave to out community members.


i guess they are looking for all kinds of people, ones with WW2 knowledge and some without to see how "accurate" the thing is but also how accessible it is for newbs in that area.

(as for accuracy, those tanks look simply awesome and the detail is just great, same with they stats like armor values, speed, etc)

having enough time to test sure will be a god thing, also having prior experience in either beta-testing and/or MMO games. however thats just speculation on my side.

i use to play navy field but i gave up, i was out gunned so many times and the amount of time i spent trying to level was tiring but i found it fun while it lasted
also this game seems like an upgraded version of blitz 0.0
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 06-07-2010, 12:07:41
i read from a few people about this blitz thing

seems to have special abilities for tanks like pircing shot and overdrive for engine and stuff like that.

here you get a really realistic and realism based tank setup with arcade controls for easy 1 person 1 tank gameplay.
special "abilities" are only available for fully leveled up crew members. and the abilities then level up too. but nothing fancy just repair/fire fighting/camouflage. and only one ability per crew member. (good thing most german tanks have crew of 5 while most russians got 4 :D)

anyways play first judge later.
sure veteran players will have the upper hand above new guys, but show me a game where it is different.

Post by: S1lv3rWolf on 06-07-2010, 16:07:18
idk, closest would be T-28 with a crew of 6, not in the soviet tank tree, the T-35 had 11 crew members.

Hummel is also supposed to have 6.

EDIT: nvm T-35 is a Premium Tank on the Full soviet tree.

Well any fire gives you away on the map and in peoples sights, so I doubt many smart folks would ever touch that MG :D.

Got my EU beta key from some website, and then realized my Russian account was eligible to be grandfathered into the EU beta, so now I have both.

Tomorrow we shall see, hopefully that starting American tree is in this time, I got to everything I really wanted in the Russian one except the T-44 (halfway thru the T-43 because the English releases stopped).

map ammount still the same, same with vehicles,  just check the files on your client.

What happened to me is I got a key okay, but when I tried to register an account to get the actual beta I never got a confirmation email.

Edit: So what exactly is the problem Siben, if you confirmed the email. Can you not download the beta itself?

Because there's a beta download at middle/bottom of this page:
http://news.bigdownload.com/2010/07/06/reminder-world-of-tanks-beta-code-giveaway/ (http://news.bigdownload.com/2010/07/06/reminder-world-of-tanks-beta-code-giveaway/)

I'm assuming you still would need a login to play the game, but it sounds like you have that.

I was a complete idiot thats what happened, completely read over the key, lol

I got one now guys, thank you

My game wont start for some reason it just says on the first screen that pops up 'client update: receiving patches' it took like 15 minutes and i pressed close and it crashed. Couldn't find an answer from the WOT forums.

Gonna try it again later.

Like on most first big releases, i bet there servers are overloaded so much they need to pour liquid nitrogen on it to get them to a reasonable temperature.

Retry later and it should work again.

After playing this for 3 hours (it has been a LONG time since i played so much on a day) i say this is a pretty fun game

While in terms of public play it is mostly straight forward, teamwork is however truly a decieve factor in this game.

Tanks that stick together and work together, go trough together.

Upgrades guarantee you will stay competitve with other tanks. My little T-26 went to battle and destroyed 6 tanks, 3 light ones, a BT-2, But more importanly, a Panzer III.

So what are you guys researching for? Atm im researching for the T-46. Then i can get a medium tank, the T-28. Then after Long playing, i can afford myself a KV-1 and go further with the heavy tanks :p

For the germans, im going for the SPG . I want the Grille/hummel!

I have so far gotten like 8 kills in total, in say... 13 games.
Just impossible in the beginning to score a kill with the first lvl tanks. Now I've bought a 45mm gun and upgraded suspension and engine for my MS-1, so now I can actually kill enemy tanks.
Just bought an AT-1 too, haven't tried it yet but have high hopes on it :P

Yes, and it works ;D

yeah I guess I meant "Super-Hellcat when the full tree comes" and not on release, since the american TDs are not even on the release tree, but they did hint at the american tree coming up during the closed beta at one point or the other.

Plus, even after release, after the reset, I would still go back to follow the trees for those on the list.

So how does the experience/credit system work in this game? Sometimes I'll have good rounds where I get almost none of one or the other, or have rounds where I die right away and somehow still get a lot of both.

How does the server decide how much of each you get at the end of each battle?

Doing damage, spotting enemies (for the first time for your team), and helping to cap the point up your exp/credits.

You get a slight boost if you get out of it alive, and another if your team wins.

You could end up getting less than 50 exp in a battle if you don't do anything positive (you miss a shot and get nuked by half of their team or 2 arty pieces), and your team loses.

So winning is beneficial, so cap their flag for an assured victory.

Arty is fine as long as there is only 1 a team. Just played a game with 4 enemy arty's and well, i did not even see the enemy, we just got killed in our own base...

It should be made a bit les powerfull tough, its all 1 shot 1 kill now it seems for arty. Maybe it gets better when our tank no longer have tinfoil armour. I vote for less acurate arty, and maybe les powerfull aswell.

Have you played as arty? It's not as easy as you make it to be. Sure, if the enemy is stupid and is sitting still and has been spotted, it's an easy kill. But if they move, just a bit, it gets a whole lot harder.

Easy, if an enemy has better optics than you and a good radio he can locate you without you seeing him and send your location to the arty, which then loves to hit the static target.

It is very noticeable with the appearance of PzIIs. Their turret has a huge view-distance compared to the smaller tanks.

Ambushing takes more than just camping in a bush. Later on you get a nice perk that makes you 'invisible' while stationary and hidden in a bush with a Tank-hunter, but till then it's still a long way for all of us. ^^

You can buy special ammo with it...wich is really useless now, BUT you can convert the gold to credits.

It is a good choise. Hetzer can be a sore pain in the ass, but can easily flanked.

I swear, if you work together with a friend, and he covers your butt with a regular tank you can rip apart half the enemy team.
My record stands on 6 enemy tanks destroyed via this way.

Arty player all the time have most kill so don't think its that hard. Also you need to stop to shoot accurately and when you stop you get artied right away. Otherwise really awesome game but not gonna play it that much mainly because of arty.

You get money for damaging that tank anyway. So if he waits you to destroy it to 5% and takes rest, you win compared to that you both shoot it like hell from the start.

I was very active in the Russian beta, its so amazing to not be fighting IS-4s and 4502s every game.

Once you get to the PII with the L/112 or the Bt-2 w/ the 23mm, the starting zone turns into a money farm. Just don't use auto aim on static targets and realize all 4 shells shoot the same spot vonce you fire. Their auto aim with that kind of cannon is useless.

Really hope they don't nerf the T-44 too bad, I never fully got to it (halfway through the T-43 before I stopped) and the T-34 tree is pretty much the greatest in the game from start to finish, in terms of overall usefulness.

And yes, you get points by damage done, although they're might be little perks to actually getting kills, never noticed if there was or not because it seems all based on damage.

Just unlocked the Luchs, and dear god is this tank slow. I realize once it's engine is upgraded I shouldn't have this problem, but the thing's acceleration is so bad at the moment it's as slow as the leichtraktor in practice. I can't even keep up with my teams SP artillery, let alone other tanks, making it rather useless as a light tank.

The good thing is that it has the same 37mm gun of the leichtraktor so ammo is free.  8)

SPGs really ruin everything. I mean one or perhaps two guns per team firing on spots only is okay but... I've had games where we killed every tank except for 4 SPGs. You can't do much else than rush their main and that's where the fun starts because theyre all camping there, have a bigger view/spot distance AND can fire manually. I mean WTF, it has happened more times than I can remember now that I drive towards a main and then out of nowhere a shell comes flying towards me and pounds my tank. Then three more follow......

Not when you can only use shitty light tanks, light tanks>Artillery arty always win in almost any situation, except if he is alone and you get up close. It takes far too long to get a decent tanks that can fight.

you get a birdseye view of the map. you can fire via a circle wich is affected by deviation. Any enemy tank wich is in sighting range of a friendly tank be targeted.  it is not as easy aspaavopesusieni says though.

while everyone is using wespes, Su-26's, i am still using my Tier 1 little Bison. If you wanna save money for bigger better tanks, like the PZIV or KV-1. Just buy yourself a Bison. That thing can still kill any tank as the T2 and T3 Self-propelled guns and only cost 370 to repair when it is destroyed

Today i was playing a match. I killed 2 BT-7's and we lost the match, yet i still recieved 4500 credits.4500-370 repairs+ some new shells was in the end 3700 pure profit.

First couple of games are terrible, you get kicked in the ass every time, just join a few matches and die, die and die some more then research with the points you got and pimp your tiny tank (new engine, new radio, new tracks, new gun, new turret) now you still suck but can atleast kill some enemies, do so for a couple of matches and then buy a tank of your flavour, BT-2 or PzII or Pz 35(t).

I love the 35(t)! It's so amazing, I won an entire match with it, 2 kills and as last remaining tank vs 5 others captured the flag.

What is the purpose of upgrading radios?  Anyway right now I have a cute little MS-1 that is rather well upgraded.  Yet I don't think I have ever landed like a single shot on an enemy tank and seem to only be useful when I become a smoking wreck that can provide cover to my allies.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Tedacious on 10-07-2010, 15:07:47
hehe yeah was the same for me with the MS-1 :) until I upgraded it fully, now, with huge luck, it can kill 1 enemy before dying.

Bought the AT-1, upgraded with 75mm gun (saving for ZiS gun now).
Now I actually can be considered dangerous be the enemies! ican harm them! I even kill almost 1 tank each round (record is 4 tanks in one round!).
I love the whole upgrade feature.


And CPS!
The radio is used to increase your line of sight, increase the radius in which you see enemies/allies on the radar. I think.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 10-07-2010, 15:07:59
The radio doesn't directly effect line of sight, that's the turret's job. What the radio does is let you see what your teammates see, given they are within a certain radius of you. Similarly, it also allows your teammates to see what you see. It allows light tanks to spot for artillery and allow the heavier tanks to fire beyond their regular line of sight.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 10-07-2010, 15:07:27
Correct. While light tanks are also good scout units, some medium tanks have very good radios.

The T-28 has one wich reaches up to 480Meters. It truly depends on tanks, but upgrading your radio is one of the primary things you must do, when you buy a tank
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 10-07-2010, 16:07:12
Yeah you can get tons of money by spotting enemy tanks, you only need fast tank (research engine and suspension) and really good radio.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Mazz on 10-07-2010, 16:07:12
Its not as essential yet as it will be, but later on when the guns on tanks like the Su-100 or KT can hit across the map, scout tanks fill a very important, yet vastly underrated role.

In the latest releases they actually made the minimap radio-based, so now your teammates and enemies do not show up unless in radio range, which is a big change. So upgrading that radio will be important, but not till WAY later when you actually do standoff shooting with heavier tanks.

And technically spotting tanks doesn't require a radio, I was well out of range of my team on Hemmelsdorf, wondered onto about ten tanks climbing the castle hill, and got a scout badge even though I couldn't see a member of my team on the minimap. Its more about they popping onto your screen in visual range, aka exposing. You could have the best radio in the game, but if your teammates have shit they still won't see the markers.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 10-07-2010, 16:07:41
Correct. While light tanks are also good scout units, some medium tanks have very good radios.

I feel like light tanks really don't work very well at their intended role in this game, at least at the current low levels. I primarily use a fully upgraded Luchs at the moment, and it's not very good as a scout or artillery harassment unit since the Pz.III is just as fast and much more survivable, as well as having a longer range radio and similar view range. Driving in an "S" pattern will throw off people who use auto-targeting while not slowing you down much, but it always seems like there's at least one person smart enough to hit you. It works okay on urban maps where its easy to dart away but on the typical large open maps it's pretty much a death trap to use light tanks offensively.

Instead I generally hang around just behind a large army of friendly tanks sniping stuff at the front and taking care of enemy light tanks that try to break through(if you can brush up against their sides it will break their tracks, which is very bad for them if you're in the middle of a group of friendly tanks, and it's pretty easy to do if you're in a tank that's just as fast as theirs and they're having to swerve about dodging shots).

I get killed by it more than anything else. In light tanks it only takes 1 direct hit to kill you and even if it doesn't hit you it knocks out your tracks if it lands anywhere close to you, which has the same effect since my little Luchs doesn't do so well when it's not moving.

I'm still okay with it in general they just need to make it more of a anti-camping weapon and less of a sniper cannon, 75% of the time it kills me it when I'm driving at full speed which just isn't right.

Arty is very simple=Look at the enemy team. Does it have artillery? Yes=Only stay stationdary for a short while

Arty still is EXTREMELY vurnable to even the lightest tank. With my simple T-26 i smashed 4 artillery pieces by manouvering trough them and not even once did they touched me

Even more funny, in the chaos one of them Teamkilled a PZIII

RAGEQUIT ffs I just had a really good fight on the map with the train with T34s. I went to the village to encounter some T20s and a KV1. I hit some of the T20s (I now finaly know where to aim to hit moving targets ^^) so that my team could finish them off, then shot the KV1 untill he was almost dead and... some SPG guy comes in and steals my first ever heavy tank kill. Okay so I was pissed but what the hell, we had a battle to win. So as I drove around the village I saw that both teams had decided to get mixed into the fight, and I soon had taken down two T28s while there were two T20 in my sights. This was it, the best round I would have ever fought, my Pz4 longbarrel 75 with 80% armor and my team versus two stinky Russians. But then it happened. As always, you can't have a good epic fight without those bloody SPGs mixing in and yes - a shell apeared out of nowhere and killed my panzer. I have not shut down a game that quick in a long time.

Sander93 (or anyone else for that matter).

How do you aim at a moving target?

It is pretty much still based on luck, but you gotta aim way ahead of it. Shell velocity seems to be rather low and apparently the hitbox is ahead of the tank. Also it seems that your turret stops moving when you click to fire, so the shell will exit behind the point you were aiming for.  
It usually works, knocking out at least the tracks, stopping those pesky circlerapers. :D

I can hit most targets moving within 100 meters now, atleast when the gun doesn't do anythink weird. I can't really tell how much you need to aim in front of it, its something you need to get used to. I think it's about it's own length ahead.
 Long range is still kinda tricky, especially because of the lagging appearences due to radio traffic.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 11-07-2010, 02:07:47
Yeah, right clicking on a tank enables/disables autotargeting(it will lock your gun onto the tank), which helps a lot at long ranges.

Of course, you have to be careful because it does not know how coordinate your turret with the movement of your tank(it will often turn the wrong way, greatly extending the amount of time you need to get the turret into a position where you can fire on your target), and it gets completely thrown off by even the most basic of evasive driving.

It's good for some situations, definitely not all of them though.

Many times autoaim is useless on long ranges too. As it only aims at center of enemy tank and 90% of players try to find some sort of cover in long range battles.

I soon get my T-34  8). Just about 2000 exp and about 50000 credits. New gold waiting there today tough, so I might just use it to get the credits.

I saw a tiger today, that guy must have no life :) I grouped up with him, he was in the front being a magnet to enemy fire and i was 50 meters behind him covering him. He spotted a tank and fired at it followed with a quick shot of me. I 'stole' 4 kills from him this way, was awsome.

My games are getting a lot better now. Usually i have 2 to 4 kills a game with my marder 2. I also sniped an enemy tank from over 450 meter away in my Su-76. I was at my own flag and killed the guy while he was guarding his flag in 2 shots, both were perfect hits! (the map where the flags are close together and always turns into a campfest)

I really like this game to be honest, will definatly keep playing after the beta.

I have enough money to buy it but I don't really know if I really want to since the Luchs I have has become less and less useful as the other tanks become heavier. Half the games now end up with me orbiting some poor tank pestering it with HE since I can't ever seem to get penetrating shots anymore.

the Pzr IIIs and III As will suffer now since thay can be defeated by near enough everything.

I kept my Panzerjager I just for low tier battles and since i maxed it out I can put the exp points I earn from battles there into my high tier tank (aquired a Stug III today). I had a wee look in the Russian doctrine and discovered that the SU-85 can upgrade to an impressive 107mm gun. This gun, with standard AP, can penetrate 168 mm of armour and deal 300 damage. Even though like most Russian guns the aiming time and accuracy aren't superb, the fact that this thing can take on Tiger tanks from the front is staggering compared to its German counterpart (the Stug) which can only upgrade to a long 75mm (quite the opposite of the 107).

Also guys, note: guns bigger than 100mm, while lacking in range and accuracy, will blow medium tanks apart and do some nice damage to heavies (for example, the 105mm that can be mounted on the Hetzer, Stug and Jagdpanzer IV).

Mazz (me), Westbends, Shin01176, CyanxWinters, W00ter6, and TKS are all WaW players who play in the beta currently.

 The KV is a deathtrap because it just gets circled strafed to hell, but the IS tree makes it TOTALLY worth it for those who care. Also, the T-34 tree is a grind... until you hit the 34 and get the 57mm that reloads in 2 seconds.

Definitely some fun games when we all get in, 3 of us in T-34/57s had 13 kills between the 3 of us on Hemmelsdorf a couple hours ago, including 2 KVs.

I'll keep an eye out for some of you.

i mean AC are better in every aspect than normal cannon (not counting single bullet damage)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: MaJ.P.Bouras on 13-07-2010, 02:07:54
It depends of course on what auto cannon we are speaking and what regular cannon ... You cannot compare a Tigers 88 (which sounds ridiculous in game i was expecting so much more "Punch" in the sound) to be as effective as a PZII's puny little thingy...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 13-07-2010, 03:07:31
Autocannons only work well as long as the armors are weak. So yes, in the beginning they absolutely rock. The russian 23mm is easily the best gun for tier I + II tanks. Later on the 37mm AC rocks very hard. But as soon as you face medium tanks, or fully upgraded light tanks, you wont have much fun with the automatic cannons. Then you have to upgrade to a 57 or 75mm to do some damage.

Anyways, i kept my little T-26 with the 23mm, and i always go for a short run on the enemys when my T-28 gets destroyed. You can earn some extra credits, and by the time you get taken out the other tanks will be back from the field :)

Gah, missed the weekend while at an anime convention (which was epic). I'm sorely behind, stuck at tier 3 with the PzIIIA and BT-7.

Luckily, I'm just about at the PzIII for credits. All tanks I've had I got elite status.

But the level of crap for the tanks are just...uuughh...

Btw, there is someone running around with a KT, the prototype before Panther, there's a few Tigers and KV-3s, and some KVs as well.

AFAIK it is still a planned change that will come soon, although someone has to play a spotter and I don't know any Level 5+ tank that could do this.

Just neglect the big guys and hunt the other small tanks on a field. Or pack up with 4 other small tanks and take down the KV-3, it is so rewarding.

i pretty much got my desired setup now


2 low tier tanks for mony making leveling up crews and XP generation if i need it:
BT-2 with 23mm autocannon, that thing is just so much fun to play
and a Panzerjäger I with 5cm gun, rapes any tank at any range and most of the low tier tanks suffer greatly under the 5cm HE shell

then i got my self 3 high tier tanks
A-20 super fast russian scout tank with 76mm gun(etreme long reload but great for drive by shots)
T-34 with 57mm Zis long gun. very accurate long range gun with high rate of fire and penetration but "low" damage, great for sniping sweet spots on tanks. also half way though to the T-34-85 but first i wanna finish my germ TD tree
and i just upgraded my stug III to jagdpanzer IV, almost fully upgraded now just needs couple thousand XP to mount the 88/L56 gun

next stop jagdpanther :D

king tiger turret is rather weak, specially if the uses the basic one and hasnt upgrade yet.
also flanks and read are easily penetrated by 75/76 mm guns.
and if everything else fails, keep pounding it with high explosive rounds.

however these people play their "monster" tanks wrong like many do in FH2
i got a tiger so now i can charge in and kill em all.
wrong you get surrounded and taken out rather easily if you act alone like that.
better to play them as long range killers where there frontal armor is the only spot to attack and impenetrable.

I advise you get a 107mm gun asap. the KV needs it because it guns it starts with is not good. Even the longer barreld 76.2mm issent very good. The KV starts performing, according to people, when it has a 107mm gun

So start saving EXP! Transfer it with the daily gold to free experience and buff that slow sluggish thing and make it perform like a Jagdtiger

BT-7 is awesome!!
i doesnt have firepower BUT it has SPEED!!
so that's what i do:
1.Battle Starts-full speed to enemy base (shortest route ofc)
result? you end up going through enemy base, between totally surprised enemy tanks (and everyone saying WTF!?) trying to aim at you (they are too slow for you anyway  ;D)
2.Escape
(sadly once i've hit train and i got killed in seconds, but still got 4k)
nice boost for spotting
done only on city ans small maps doing this on big map is suicide (obvious huh? ;D)
And remember: speed kills, but can also save your arse!

But its GREAT for scouting once you get the 600m radio. The radio is 4040 to research though, I've yet to get it  :(

running around happily with a Panzerjager I ...one I got that puppy I started racking in the kills.

I only killed a single tank with my puny panzertractorthing. Somehow saving up took a long time, until I discovered after buying the Panzerjager that I could convert gold to credit..well..things went fast then :)

Not sure how you get gold...but oh well.

You get 150 gold every day in which you play a round.

I've been messing around with the TDs as well, instead of unlocking the leopard. They are a heck of a lot easier to use, and with the exp I've built up on my Luchs I could jump straight to the SU-85b or whatever its called, though right now I'm just messing around in the AT-1. The light tanks are fun for a bit but they got kind of old after the novelty of orbiting heavier tanks wore off and most of the other non-SPG tanks I actually had a chance at killing disappeared, and having a tank that I can compete head to head against others with is a refreshing change.

I have Pz III now (NOT ausf.A) and it's fun to charge with other medium tanks and to acctually survive a shot without taking any damage.I even bought a panzerjager just for pure fun. I destroyed azreals puny little tank this morning and I saw Bhodili using SPG but he got himself a Pz 35(t) so it got destroyed too  :P

I really hate when you need to unlock everything, this is why I like FH2 I get everything right away and don't need to destroy my life.

1-2 is a division and 3-10 is another, they said they will further divide them before the game is released, they want to balance out how well the divisions would have to be.

I had a similar encounter today. A KV was trying to cap our flag. I rushed with my BT-7 next to it and started him so the cap timer was zeroed. He had that big slow turret so he couldn't catch me. Unfortunately the ZiS can't damage any part of the KV. Even though shooting at the tracks gets registered as a hit it doesn't do any damage, only damages the module.

A couple of days ago me, another Luchs, and a BT-7 were all doing that at once to a lone Tiger. Somebody was occasionally getting penetrating hits so we managed to whittle it down to about 60% before a bunch of other tanks showed up and we all died.

It was pretty hilarious to watch though, that tank had to have gotten hit at least like 30 times before we died.

Why dont you go with the russian equipment then ? Took me 3 days to get a KV  .. Russian heavys start at 330k, where german ones cost like a million. I know they are inferior to german kittys, but you can still pown the shit out of everything if you are smart ..

My killstreak of the day : 3 P3, 1 P4, 1 Jagdpanther. Faced them all directly. Took out the Jagdpanther first, hit it twice and it went down. P3's and P4's where shooting at me, but not doing any/vital damage to my mighty KV-2 :D

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 15-07-2010, 12:07:57
basically you got 4 options
light tanks -  BT-7, A-20, leopard. those are basically scout, very fast & agile but light armored and easily killed. good to scout ahead of the main force, harass enemy lines and artillery. these tanks usually die EACH game in the first few minutes but when they fulfilled their duty they are a great asset to the team. killing or spotting enemy artillery so you own team artillery cna take them out is a huge blow to the strengh of the enemy team.

artillery - the coward sniper in the back of the map hiding in a bush waiting for targets to pop up. most hated class in the game. their huge howitzer guns can take out any light-medium tank in 1 or 2 shots. even heavy tanks have to fear these when they continue to mount even bigger guns later on. draw backs are low health & armor, extreme long relaod and once scouted they are prime target. teir lack of turret and slow relaod makes them easy pray in close quaters.

medium tanks - you panzer IV and T-34, great skirmish tanks, fast and agile enough to out flank most heavy tanks and tear open the flanks of the opposite team. when hunting in small packs they are a force to reckon with. they are good at everything but excel at nothing in particular.good speed , decent armor, often quite good guns, and enough health to take a few hits.

heavy tanks - long range sniper with strong armor, should stay a bit behind the medium tanks but sometimes is needed on the frontline to make a breakthough. strong armor huge amount of health and can mount the big guns. god on their own but can be overwhelmed by many mediums or focused fire. better stay in a group and "lead" the team, preferable from "behind". your armor might be strong but you are not invincible, there is ALLWAYS someone with a bigger gun.

tank destroyers - strong frontal armor, low profile and can often mount the biggest guns in their class. they lack a turret and mobility. when outflanked by faster medium/light tanks they suffer greatly without support. but they are also great for support their long range high caliber guns can pick off most targets. so they are great for supporting a heavy tank from behind or a wolfpack of mediums. also good on defense to defend your base and artillery. they also have small camouflage bonus while firing their gun. they dont get revealed as easy as other tanks.

soo if you want to "try" scout OR medium tanks i can recommend the RUSSIAN mediam tank tree.
MS-1 -> BT-2 ->BT-7 -> A-20 (best russian light scout tank) -> T-34 ...
specially to way to the T-34 is quickly done. and on the way you get a takes of light tanks too.

if you rather try medium or heavy tank try the german tree.
leichtracktor -> panzer II -> panzer III a -> panzer  III -> panzer IV or Panzer III/IV  depending on what your goal is by then
heavy tanks or panther.


for tank-destroyers i recommend the german tree, they mostly have better guns and more armor than their russian counter part. but besides the stug the russian are more mobile.

if you are SURE you want to go heavy russian heavy tree give you the KV very early. and the IS  series is very strong.

Post by: THeTA0123 on 15-07-2010, 12:07:22
Really. in this game, nothing is superior


SPG popularity has gone down ALOT. I saw matches with 4SPG's on each side, today i found most matches without a SINGLE SPG.  Result is the less usage of Scout tanks and the very expensive ammo for SPG's.

However, upgrading your tank can keep it competitive

With my KV, i got shot to pieces almost every match, barely got a kill...
I saved up all the EXP for one gun=the 107mm
Since then, i have been shredding even tigers.

I have an FPS of 40 on every map in every location EXCEPT that Murovanka level, where my FPS drops to 6 if I look out into the distance. Somekind of rendering problem for my GPU I think.

BTW, the late T-34 tree is just insane, especially against the medium tank waves of this early in the beta.
My average XP with the:
T-34/57 over 238 games, 667
T-34-85 over 129 games, 674
T-43 over 101 games, 870


Granted I've been playing a shitload these last few days because I have a lot of free time after work (5a-1p)

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 16-07-2010, 11:07:17
leopard is very fast and agile
his frontal armor is quite strong for such a light tank
however he lacks  good armament. the 5cm kwk he can carry is decent and can penetrate most medium and some heavy tanks sides/rear. but the damage output s very low.
still the best scout tank ingame i would say.
the A-20 might can carry a bigger gun but it also is a bigger target and takes longer to accelerate.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 16-07-2010, 11:07:46
then again, taking out tanks is not the primary purpose of the scout tanks. The primary purpose is to detect enemies, spot for artillery and engage SPG's. you can get alot of money/EXP doing that.

And when i play my JagdPanzer IV there is nothing more anoying if i dont have eny spotters on my team because my view distance is kinda depending on it im good with a 100% crew on long range but i just cant see wery far bye myself.

but then it is dead,

IT-7 on the other hand has almost same armor as maus, but drive 50km/h instead of the maus 20km/h.  has lower profile and much more agility.  although it is planned to be nerfed it still if the most fearsome tank on the field right now. well no one has it yet but when they do there will be twenty threads popping up in the forum how imbalanced it is...

Post by: Die Happy on 16-07-2010, 14:07:37
you play with one tank
if that tanks dies in combat
you exit the game and play with another tank
by the time you finished the round with the other tank your first tank should be ready.

in the beginning progress should be rather fast, later it gets harder, a lot harder, specially now when you "lack behind" the rest of the guys.

just keep playing or if possible join us on FH betatester TS, there are always a few of us playing and can explain some more

Got my T-44 last night, had a rough start with it since the turret is 15k xp (needed for the 100mm D10), the engine is 25k xp, and the tracks 17k xp. I also had 7-9 games in a row where my engine, gun, gunner, or loader would be knocked out within the first three hits, and 3 times lit on fire by tanks 4-5 tiers lower then me, which is an incredibly annyoing mechanic when you have 750 HP left  :P.

Done with the upgrades, and GOD DAMN its fun to drive.

Haha yeh there is nothing more annoying. Im always getting zergswarmed in my KV .. Bunch of light tanks cruising around me, hitting with me HE and always destroying stuff on my tank without really harming it. Last night both my tracks got knocked out, radio got damaged, rangefinder destroyed, turret ring got damaged, engine got damaged and fuel tanks leaked .. My KV felt like im driving a brick to the front. Nothing was working and max speed went down to 5 kmh :p

I usually say low/high tier when talking about matches, but when im talking about specific tanks i refer to it as 'classes'.

@N24: average xp i get per battle is 291. I calculated its going to take me 221 matches to get that, if my average is to be believed.

Play with us and save up for a premium account! When playing in a team we have an average of 500-700xp, which would be 750-1125 with a premium account.

If you're in a Pz.IIIA or similar tank that's about all you can do, as light tanks and low level mediums are hurt a lot by the combat not being in tiers past level 3. As light tanks don't fair particularly well in combat, I generally just drive around about 100-200m away from enemy tanks well my team shoots at the enemy and gets me spotting points.

On urban maps I generally just ram someone and go to a new game.

HE is very good for some tanks, but it's not great for getting xp/silver on the lower tier tanks, since you don't seem to get much of either from knocking out enemy tanks' components. He's also using the Pz.IIIA I think, which uses the same 50mm gun as the Luchs and Leopard I use, and the HE performance on that gun is rather poor. It's good for knocking out components(I think, is there a way to tell when you've knocked something out?), but aside from lucky shots it can't do damage to most artillery, let alone tanks, and even if it does penetrate it only does 20 more damage than the regular AP, so it's hardly worth it.

It's good for taking pot shots at heavier tanks but with smaller enemies AP is better for the 5cm/L42 and L/60 guns at least.

I thought about saving for a churchill too, but kinda dunno now after i shot one. Its a heavy tank, so you get packed together with KV's and Tigers, and those rape the churchill really fast. Took me two frontal hits to take it down :( Maybe ill get myself the Matilda or Valentine to rape some medium tanks, since they got armor like heavys but dont count as them .. :P

Within matters of seconds they are kaputt and you can go and annoy tank destroyers form behind. Its super fun ! And it gets you lots of xp and credits :D

Ahhh! Someone finally felt the "Power of BT"!
I thought that it will never happen!
because when you have BT you dont fight! You annoy enemy driving fast in front of them and watch 'em miss every single shot! (knowlege thats someone is pissed off because of your actions is awesome ;D)

i dont know which tank is better
BT7 is good for open maps because its faster
BT2 is better for cities and such because its acceleration is a lot better.
your call

When clan battles aer implemented, should the FH2 community just be one big clan?  :P
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 22-07-2010, 13:07:44
We were thinking about that too. First we wanted to do a Hslan Clan, but then we found out that we are kinda not enough so the idea of a global FH Clan came on :P

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 23-07-2010, 01:07:07
count me in guys, I think a FH clan would not only be very beneficial since we have a lot of experience playing with tanks and teamplay, but also the general good spirit and maturity of the community.

I was hoping Hslan would also joinup since we need a big, fat clan to make a dent on the worldmap later. Obviously we can have a high level of autonomy for them - for example, as a squad in a major battle or as a unit that defends or attacks provinces together (just brainstorming).

Another major advantage is that if we call the clan 'Forgotten Hope' for example (nice name irregardless of what it refers to) we will be a walking advertisement board for other ww2 enthousiasts that want to experience some more First person shooter oriented tank/infantry battling.

We can then help FH become more popular by playing Wot...win-win !

Post by: Priestdk on 23-07-2010, 08:07:07
Year i see the same thing last evening i hade atleast 1 Tiger or IS or KV 3 in every match i played.
I even saw 2 IS-3 yeasterday, but the beta have been running for almost 14 days now so eventualy most people will get to the medium higher tiers.
Just to give a good ider of the worst posible match i saw yet whas yeasterday with 3 tigers 1 Tiger II and 1 kv-3 and 1 IS-3 and 2 Jagdpanthers plus alot off theese jagdpanzer IVs and offcase theese almost panthers/tigers now that whas a match that whas hard.

But the good thing to remeber is they are expensive for them to uphold, and most off theese heavyis have more tanks to make money on the side otherwize they cut not sustain a high tier tank i know i just got my JagdPanther 2 days ago. and i use a leopard to raise som money because off the ammo/repai costs.

KV series are terrible untill KV3

Still, you NEED to keep using your head with these things.

Just as the Tiger tank, IS, the KV3 can be WTFpwned by even one leopard and a SPG

Yesterday we killed a tiger tank with my KV, one PZIV and a STUG.

Luchs is terrible IMO, could be a nice scout but way too slow.. But I will continue, I want that damn Leopard, it's so cute.

Other then that, I yet have to interest myself in heavy tanks. Too much no life gaming for those, I rather be the light tank/ambush TD man.

What i meant THeTA0123 was that i find the KV1S stronger while fighting against it then the KV3. It also looks a lot better.

KV3 turret just looks terrible.

Anyway, just got the 88mm back in my Jagdpanther, so now my gun is back as strong as in my Jagdpanzer 4. Next up is to improve the tracks so i get some better cross country capability and then get a better engine so i can get some more speed faster.

Soon i will be king of the battlefield again, when you buy the Jagdpanther it is just shit. Much worse then the upgraded Jagdpanzer 4, only in armour is it better then.

And Toddel, i bet you can see a playerdrop since WoT beta came out, on a busy night the FH channel has like 20 people in it.

Had a wonderful round of Karelia today where 6 other tanks, mostly VK´s and P IV´s were engaging me frontally over long distance. I took all of them out and had half health at the end.

The churchill has good armor and health. Its gun is decent. Its repair costs are also very low

Its gun is fast firing and easy to aim,so great for taking out Light tanks
If you use the churchill defensivly it is a money/exp making machine.
Use it offensivly and you will be gutted like a cornish game hen

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 25-07-2010, 15:07:10
I got myself the 38H. Its like driving a Heavy between the lights. Nothing can damage you except Arty. Only problem is, that the SPG's will get you very quickly since its super slow. I sold it after three days after it got frustrating that you always get killed by Arty since they make you priority target ..

Actually i have much much more fun in driving an AT-1 with 76mm light howitzer and HE ammo into battle. It oneshots PII's to the front and can take quite a beating. I got 15 victories out of 20 battles i've been in, mostly surviving as the last one and killing like 5-7 enemy tanks per battle. If you use it as an assault gun and not as a bushcamping shitz you will own everyone on the field !

Churchill btw is suck imho. Wanted to buy it too, but i only saw it getting super quickly so i didn't bothered with it anymore ..
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 25-07-2010, 15:07:38
I've got both a Pz38H735(f) and a Churchill.

The Pz38H is probably my favorite tank and a lot of fun to play as, since basically nothing can hurt you, but rounds take a really long time in it so it's not as good a moneymaker as a light tank where you can die after 30 seconds and still earn a few thousand credits. It also has a very small crew which gets you killed a lot, and as said before if there's still enemy arty late in the round you're screwed.

The Churchill lacks firepower, and I haven't played very many rounds in it yet, but so far it's been doing pretty well.

The tiger has a good gun, but no sloped armour so every shot penetrates. It also is dead slow and since its the OMGWTF UBORZ TIGAH everybody shoots at you first.

Thus it is a defensive weapon, stay behind your team and snipe the enemy. If you attack you die.

The kingtiger on the otherhand is very good.

Only use the tiger to get your xp till you can buy the Kingtiger. The tiger is a real blackhole when it comes to money so try to get that with a different tank.

Just reading the FAQ a bit .. Kinda weird, they gonna include infantry too for clan battles which you can place on the battlefield for defense and also there will be off-map arty strikes avalible in clan battles :)

Also trading of shells, modules and money/gold will be included and you will be even able to place your old tanks as an auction for others to buy it for gold. Kinda cool :)

Oh and, battles will be extended to 30 vs 30 pretty soon on bigger maps i guess ...

It would only be for clan match purposes, where you can prepare the defense of your territory before the battle. I guess you will have certain buildings/trenches/foxholes where you can deploy some AT infantry that annoys the enemy a bit and helps in the defense a bit. I find it a good idea actually, it can spice up organized matches a bit for sure :)

Oh and btw is it just me or is the US Tech tree completely missing Tank Destroyers ?

But i finally got my Tiger II, its SO much better than Tiger. Awesome! Though its not so awesome when you face Maus, not even when facing it from the side. That thing must have cost its user his social life.

I'm just 100% fine with t-34  ;D. I have t-34/85 too, but I don't like using it. Fast tank with reasonable armor and super fast gun with decent penetration, perfect combination. Now I'm training my crew to 100% and going to buy those fancy gadgets, decreasing loading time even more and same for aiming time  ::).

Yeh im rockin the IS for a few days now too. That thing is a beast. Tigers are no match for the speed and agility .. And god, its a heavy !

Oh and, dont even think about the 122mm .. I tried it last night, its one shot for everything under the VK's, but ammo costs are 1k+ per shell which makes you poor very fast. The 100mm is the best gun on the IS ..

So will the full game have some kind of rank system for battles? I've been off for three weeks so I'm a bit behind with my PzIV now but I keep running into tons of very big tanks I can't do shite against. I'd really like a 'gametype' in which you would only fight equal tanks. Marder II (my second tank) vs Tiger II is just... not fun.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 02-08-2010, 15:08:41
They're intending to do that at some point, but they really couldn't do it soon enough. The low tiers tanks just can't do much now that VKs make up such a large portion of each match, and even artillery seems rather sparse which is the one thing they would normally be able to kill.

Have seen few rounds where enemy rushes and get pwned even though they got IS-3 and Tiger II. It only takes like 3 big guns and few light tanks and whole enemy is pinned.

Best tactic imo is to let TDs and arty camp, maybe few light tanks to scout the enemys. Heavies and mediums rush from the upper village with few light tanks on front.

The idea behind the game is that you farm money with the low tier tanks to support your super heavy tank. It's even in the FAQ. Otherwise everyone would play the Maus/IS7 in the End.

Alright, played the first rounds and only got killed so far. I have extreme problems hitting enemies, since I can´t see where the shell I fired just hit. I don´t how how much to lead on a moving tank and how much i have to compensate for shell drop. It´s odd...
I still get some experience and credits but I don´t know what to do with it. Is it worth upgrading the beginner tanks or should I save the credits for later tanks? And if I do the latter, what tank should I get? o0
So far it sucks...

Homer, try to press the right mouse button on the enemy. It will enable Auto-Aim which will lead on enemy tanks and keep them in your aim. You only need to fire :) How good it is depends on your crew skill which will be low now, so don't expect miracles. But its better then manual aim.

And, what tank are you driving now ? Tracktor or MS-1 ? Anyways, its always a good choice to go straight for the better tank, since upgrading those cardboard boxes wont help you much .. T-26 or Panzer II are good choices.

Ok, I´ll try the trick with auto aim. Survived my 2nd battle today, but wasn´t able to destroy any enemy tank..those fast firing Pz2´s are a pain in the you-know-where, guess I´ll take this tank then and get some revenge...if I´ll ever get enough credits..
Currently I´m playing with both tanks, but both suck...

After you get a hang of how far you have to lead a target, always go for aiming yourself! Auto-Aim is good but reduces your chances of hitting anything by at least 25% and you always aim for the middle of a tank which isn't likely to be it's soft spot.

True, T26 or Pz2 are the way to go, but in the lower levels upgrade costs are so low that you can risc upgrading your tanks no matter what. Every upgrade will enable you to enjoy your tank more than it is possible in the basic layout, where they just suck.

Edit: Keep on playing with at least 2 tanks, this reduces your downtime and is more or less the idea behind the game: To get as many tanks and as powerful ones that you like.
Your low tier tanks should give you a good profit even when you lose, so don't discard them to fast. I love my elite PzII. ^^

Alright, thanks for the tips. Got my first kill today, destroyed a T-26 with my Leichttraktor, also I dealt some damage so I got some Exp and Credits.
Just another question:
Do I have to research stuff for my old tank in order to get a better tank? Or can I just buy the better tank from the store?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 04-08-2010, 12:08:44
you have to finish the research for the new tank, so if you want the panzer II you need the 2cm kwk and some other thing i think and then you can research the panzer II once that is researched you can buy it.

also join the ingame forgoten hope community chat channel

in lower left corner wen you are in your garage there should be a chat button or somethign with a search option
simply search for Forgotten and it should pop up
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 04-08-2010, 12:08:33
Home click on the Tech Tree in the upper bar and you will see what you need to research to get a better tank.
And yeh, if you can, keep your old tanks. Im still driving around in my T-26, doing massive kills with the stuff i learned in high battels. Some people on the low battles thing they got uber tanks, but they dont, and if you know that, you can rape them with no mercy. 4-5 kills a round with the T-26 are not rare for me nowadays.

And, you will need them to get money. Once you get tanks that cost you 12k Credits to repair them per round, and another 5-6k credits for ammo, you will need some other tanks you dont need to spend much money on to keep the big ones rolling.

Oh and yeh, to join the FH channel klick on Channels in the lower left, and type "Forgotten Hope Community". There are always people who help you. Or join the hslan teamspeak, we are always hanging out there :)

Bah this game is starting to really suck, it still lose money if i destroy 2 same tier tanks as me and damage lots of lower tier tanks and I ain't losing like 1-2k but like 5-10k it really sucks. Hate games where your team decides how much money/score you get. It doesn't matter how well I play if my team loses its insta -10k.

Witouth premium, my IS barely is profitable. It is a great tank, but its repair costs are to high.
Consider taking premium, or a second lower tier tank. A VK is a great choise since you only use german tanks ;)

Arty and ramming are things that only frustrate you in the beginning, once you get to tier 3/4+ it stops bugging you. Also the arty class seems to just die off, I had rounds in the beginning with 5 SPGs on each team, now it's never more than two.
Anyway always try to stay with teammates, it has many advantages including more guns to take down those pesky fast tanks. I always stay with bigger tanks lately and it brings in big money. They'll take all the fire while you can quietly fire some rounds or flank them.
Took out a Ferdinand like this last round, some big Russian tank kept him busy while I flanked around and killed it from behind, and I got tons of money for that.

Arty will get annoying again at higher tiers when tanks get slow and are bigger targets and arty gets more splash and power. Its also very annoying that if you die because of arty at higher tiers you get HUGE expenses.

Ive got hit by S-51 while moving in my Tiger and died from one shot. I need to zigzag all the time. Really arty denies lots of fun gameplay options so I just need to camp behind building and rocks all the time.

Of course grilles, su-5s and that sort of arty are ok and I can still stand Su-8 and Hummel, BUT S-51 and SU-14 oh my god. Those are not so common yet but when they will come more common then it will be hell on WoT.

They will not come more common. I think cost for one round on last tier soviet arty was something like 600-700 credits. Arty has just same thing as bigger tanks, they are not good for money making in last tiers, unless you are really good and lucky.

I switched back to a smaller gun on my IS because i couldnt afford 122mm shells which where 1100 per shot. Now imagine a 203mm round ..

122 A19 for SU8=800 per shell

203mm round

that's not really a problem. Repair costs are generally low for arty.

But I have the feeling it is wiser to go with a cheap arty with a decent ROF then getting a big badass gun.

I upgraded my hummel for instance from a gun that did 650 to one that did 950, price of the shell has doubled.

I have seen matches where a bison is very effective whereass somthing like a  S-51 was totally useless.

Yea it only will help if you are up against maus, IS-7 ect

By the way does anyone know if the full game will have some kind of customization options? Like skirts, paintjobs, all kinds of 'crew packages', spare parts etc etc that won't effect gameplay but create some space to be creative and unique. It feels dull right now riding into battle in a perfectly clean tank that is exactly the same as my neighbour's. This is what made games like BFHeroes extra fun. You could ride into battle in a pink tank like you could go in as Captain Jack in Heroes. Or as a nice camouflaged tank like you could play dressed like a real soldier.

T-34-85 is quite a good tank tbh (got it yesterday), it basically what you would expect a T-34 to do. But ofc, the downside is its hull armour (45mm all round = crap). At least the T-43/44 is not far off now :P

Alright-o, finally got the StuG III today and, oh boy, playing a tank destroyer sure is extremely different than playing a light tank! Had some problems at the beginning, but I managed to get some XP and kills so far, so I was able to buy the new suspension so the StuG turns faster which should solve some problems. Next thing I´ll buy is probably another gun, although I´m not sure if I should skip the L/48 and go directly for the L/70...
The positive thing about the StuG is, that I make enough money, even with a defeat to fully repair and rearm it and with my elite Pz35 I get enough money, too.

2/3rds through for my Tiger, I'm training my crew grinding money in the 3601 atm. They're already 110% and I'm upping their special skills. From what I've heard it can't hurt to have three guys with special repair abilities operating a Tiger.

Oh uhm, I really should keep that 3601 right? I heard the Tiger aint gonna be much of a moneymaker. It would hook me up with an early date though. Any advice?

Post by: Cadyshack on 09-08-2010, 03:08:00
Well, I had my lineup as T-34 and T-34-85 just in case I did need a farmer. However, I think my 3601 using the squeeze bore gun would be more profitable.

I'm just at a point where it gets slow and repetitive. I just need to get the SU-14 and T-43 researched for my SU-8 and T-34-85. Of course, 57000 exp is pretty steep for the T-43. Even worse, the SU-14 takes 114000 exp.

So yeah, long grind. Luckily, I can go for the Tiger right now. But, I need over a million credits to do so....

Yeah...

Tiger actually is super overrated. Its slow, clumsy, offers only medicore armor protection (for a heavy of that tier) and its expensive in upkeep.

It is certainly a good tank if you know how to use it and take advantage of the 88mm's range and accuracy, but i see so much Tiger drivers that drive those thing out in the open because they think they got a big tank, and then get raped mercilessly .. Its not a moving fortress, and you have to learn that and adept your play style accordingly. Stay back, shoot over long distances, don't let mediums (or god save you heavy russians) get close to you.

And, you should definitely keep your other Tank to make some extra money. My IS-3 is super expensive in upkeep too, i need to spend like 20k on repairs and 5-6k on ammo every round, so im barely making any money with it. In fact, im actually happy that when i kill 3-4 tanks to get even and don't lose money. I use 3 other tanks next to the IS to actually make some money ..

Tiger becomes useless after 3 min of game start. You will be so crippled after few shots its just ridiculous, especially when Tiger had really reliable ammo rack, Gun and was also pretty safe tanks compared to others.

Tiger should be tier 6 IMO. KV3 and VK just pwns its ass. Also IS and KV3 should change places, I have no problem against IS its just small fly against my KT but KV3 on the other hand bounces my 105 shots all day long and has one damn super cannon, FFFUUUUUU.

The tiger tank is just as vurnable as a KV3. You need to use both defensivly and with your HEAD.

Tiger tank SUCKS, I don't care what it is rated but it should be like tier 5-6 tank. Its one piece of shit, you cant argue about it if you haven't used it. Its subsystem damage is just WTF!? Tiger had reliable ammo rack and gun though here they break right away. Its just useless when you have 16 second reload time and you wont hit anything anyway because your gunner/gun is injured/broken. Tiger is SHIT, compared to other tanks of that tier or bit under that tier, anybody who says otherwise haven't used it. Its like if get hit once you are worse than panzer 4.

Also tiger top speed is 30km/h!? it should be 38 at least.

KV is nothing like Tiger, NOTHING. Tiger is broken, its sub system damage is AWFUL. Also tiger is tier 7? Same class than damn IS! Tiger is also one damn money sink, it really sucks when one round from T-34 to frontal armor takes out ammo rack and gunner though tiger is much higher tier. KV is really good tanks in its tier and subsystem damage is nothing like Tiger.

And how much armor does the IS has?
Just the same as on tiger tank, IRL it had 160mm front armor for god sake

and stuff breaks as fast on the IS just as fast as on the tiger
Look at corvax and his IS3. For the least of damage his tracks fly off

Stuff on tiger DOESN'T brake as fast wtf are you talking about?!? Really everyone know Tiger is broken, use it before you start arguing. Also IS is faster, doesn't brake all the time (main issue what make Tiger suck) and has better armor. Tiger should be fighting with T-34 and IS with Tiger II.

Main reason why Tiger sucks is subsystem damage, once you use it you figure really well why everyone says it sucks. It would be good tank if ammo, gun, loader and gunner wouldn't be lost all the time. Its one shot anywhere something is lost for sure, usually one of those 4. Those 4 are the most important parts for heavy tank, otherwise you are useless target that shoots 2 times a minute and misses. You clearly recognize russian heavy players when they keep saying all tanks brake as easy as Tiger ::). When i am using KT, I shoot Tgiers once and then I don't worry about them I worry more about KVs. Tiger is broke who denies it haven't used it.

Yeh, actually KV series is an easy enemy for the Tiger. KV3 isnt any better then the standard KV1/2, it only has a better turret. Tiger can still take it out in 2-3 hits in the hull.

But the IS .. The IS is a glorious tank. I was literally eating tigers with my IS. They had so no chance. Just driving up to them, circling faster then they can turn the turret or themselves, and just wtfpowning them in the arse. Actually, when i was driving the IS, i was making Tigers priority target since they were esier to kill than a medium tank since they were so slow. I rarely encountered a tiger which actually gave me problems. All those noobs always drove that tiger out into open field, without any cover or something.

I think you are kinda mixing up things, since the IS is a faaaaar superior tank to the KV3. Maybe the guys in IS's you've seen so far used the shitty gun, but believe me, IS even p0wns King Tigers when the drivers arent that pro ..

IS3 on the other hand, hell, tiger cant damage its front. I really disliked it in the beginning, but i start to like it after i make like 3-4 kills every round and i actually end up with a small positive cash balance. Only problem with the IS-3 is that its just like the KT .. "Ohmygosh IS/KT, lets all rape it first" ...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 09-08-2010, 12:08:05
Tiger wont have a chance as long as you shoot it 1-2 times first, its broken then.

In my KT I don't have any problems against tiny IS tanks i just pwn them, magic KV3 on the other hand uses its magical forcefield and my rounds keep bouncing off also its gun is much better than IS IMO.

Tiger is scheisse!
BUT if you stay behind cover and snipe those easy kills, you can win! I had a round yesterday where I was hiding in defence. I got 2 kills and then I started to rush. Somehow my team failed and I was the onlyone alive capping their flag...and there was like 5-6 of them capping mine. Still I got some credits for that. Simmilar round where 5 of us on a lone kt capping our flag (I mean 2 tigers, VK and JGpzerIV and something) They all got killed and I was alone streetfighting with the KT. I barely schratched him even though someone recognized the weaknesses of the porsche turret and gave me a hint to strike there. It bounced (88 gun) :(

Post by: Paavopesusieni on 09-08-2010, 13:08:06
Tigers only problem is the subsystem damage its armor is ok (especially if you do it "Keilausrichtung" style) health is good and gun is awesome. Problem is that if you get shot few times at the start of the round you will become pretty much useless piece of shit because of subsystem damage. Also you always lose the most important subsystems/crew members for heavy tank, gunner/loader/gun/ammorack. Tiger also catches fire really easily though that ain't problem if you can drive, for me at least.

Tiger is also too slow, its top speed should be 38 not 30 km/h.

I got few good rounds on Tiger where i won 6 tanks alone. Whole my team was destroyed and i defended my base alone in Malinkova. I took out IS, Jagdpanzer, A-20, Panzer 4, T-34-85 and KV.

The Tiger was never really meant for blitzkrieg combat, it was a quick design for the eastern front to have mobile 88's with a big armoured box around it. I was never intending to use the Tiger offensively anyway, so I guess it won't lose too much money or be that bad if I just camp and pick off targets, right?

Ah-haha!!! 152mm gun with ammo rack hit. You need a calendar to measure that reload time.  :P

I've re-broken 1 million credits on my end, and I've almost got my T-34-85 elite. I also have the VK3601 elite.

So, the question is Tiger or T-43...and with how everyone seems to hate the Tiger, T-43 it is then!

Going to love the 75mm frontal armor on the thing. It's exactly like an uparmored T-34-85, anyways.

So now the question is 100mm or 85mm...

Post by: Die Happy on 10-08-2010, 11:08:24
in the T-34-85  i would recommend the 85mm gun, it is lighter so you get some better acceleration. also it reloads way faster. and since you are a medium tank you will often flank the enemy so the penetration is not that important. (at least thats how i played it)

once you get the T-43 you could/should use the 100mm gun because in the bigger turret it reloads faster (8 shots per minute in the T-44 instead of 7 in the T-34-85).

btw once you get to the T-44 make sure you saved up 500k credits to buy the "Wet"-Ammo storage. so many times i got 1shot killed in the T-44 because someone blew up my ammo rack.
the Wet-ammo reduces that to almost nothing.

Bla bla bla

I love how you try to make allied tanks look superior to Germans all the time. though even this game clearly points out that tiger is better even when its nerfed. It should be fighting against KVs and T-34 though right now its fighting against IS, T-43 and other late/post war tanks. Also T-44 is not even WWII tank of course tiger loses, you know what Leopard 2A4 pwns your IS-7.

The issue is that tigers sub system damage is too high, unrealistically high. Tiger had very well protected ammo and ammo rack was almost never destroyed during battle same with its 88. Tiger was also really safe tank were crew didn't get injured all the time. Sight did broke though as but in game gun, ammo rack and crew are being lost all the time. Also my little 88 should pwns T-34, KV and all other tanks, my mighty tiger should be tier 5-6 not 7-10 where all the late war and fifties tanks are.

Tiger was really good and efficient tank, it had best gun of its time, best armor, though and safe. In game its so damn fragile and crew gets injured all the time wtf. Many people try to say tiger sucks because they want to be smart and tell anyone it actually sucked though it didn't. It was one hell of a good tank, though it also took lots of resources to build. Engine was capable of 38 km/h without breaking or even faster with risk of breaking, though.

You are one bloody allied fanboy really, there were so many situations where axis at guns or tanks just pwned tons of allied tanks. Also this all was done with lack of resources, bad quality armor, lack of everything. There was even situation in late west front where Axis at gun crew ran out of ammo after destroying so many tanks, though US didn't run out of tanks.

Also why are you comparing Tiger to late war and fifties tanks really... I am not getting even the point of your post. Tiger was one mighty machine during its first years.

How do i make axis tanks superior all the time? I only think that tiger is better than Sherman and T-34 on 1 on 1 fight.

Almost always when Tiger got back from battle ammo rack was never damaged only sight or something. Of course its ammo rack isn't indestructible like any other tanks ain't either. Or are you trying to tell me Sherman had smaller chance to catch on fire or that Tiger did that more often?

You must be an idiot or something read my posts before you comment, there was no 17 pounder when tiger was introduced you idiot. 88 was really good gun.

Actually the SU-152 is epic. It has weak armor, thats true, so you cant play it like a jagdpanther or something. But, if you hit something with its huge ass gun .. a hit take slike 80 % of my IS-3, so you can easily one shot everything thats equal or lower then IS/Tiger I ..

Its a great defensive tank actually, or for ambushes and long range shots. Or jsut stick close to the heavys, let them take the beating and snipe everything from a safe distance.

I'm getting more into aggressive defending lately and I must say it is quite profitable and fun. Just had a round where me and two other guys defended our base while our team went rambo and I killed 5 tanks, including 3601 and t34-85s with only taking 30% damage. I'll get my Tiger tomorrow and I already got the low veloc. 88 and turret unlocked through free XP so I can't wait to use that baby in defending. I honestly think the Tiger is only underpowered because everyone thinks it ought to be a mobile fortress. Although realisticaly speaking I can't disagree that it should be one tier lower, fighting T34 and KVs instead of ISs.

I think the ATSPGs are difficult to pin down. The general idea is that they are meant for ambushes, ergo: defensive. However, if you have a tank with good armour, decent turning time, and a gun that does good damage plus decent ROF, then it good for offensive duties.

Basically:
offensive: neither Ferdinand or ISU-152
defensive: both

su-152 is a bit more mobile but also much less armored compared to ferdi

I'm off to playing the lotery now, I just had a round where our Ferdinand 'played' bait in our main with that 4502 turning its back on me. I only got two shots through which damaged him for 30% before he killed the Ferdi. We would lose. But then, I saw flames. And BOOM. I apparently had set his engine on fire and his ammo rack exploded. We won.  :D

Are you confusing? The III/IV bounces even the big calliber guns. The turret is the only weak spot. Are you thinking of the upgraded IV with the V turret? There the hull is the weak spot and the turret impenetrable by medium calibre guns.

yes, the turret of the pzIV with smalltrurm is 100mm,much more then the chassis. Shoot the hull, not the turret !

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: G.Drew on 18-08-2010, 15:08:41
Jagdpanzer IV and Jagdpanther are great tanks, although with both its crucial that you unlock the tracks and engine asap (like with most tanks), otherwise your going to be a nice target for arty and even weaker in the flanks. Also, when you get your crew to max competence, go for 2 camo, 2 repair and 1 firefighter. Makes and excellent combo.

Got to wait another 6 hours before I can get premium again, and since I only have 50K atm I wont take my chances with the T-44 (since the game crashed on me and blew up my tank, costing me 6k overall).

Good thing is once I get the 203mm I can turn almost anything into paste. Potential 1-shots on IS-3 back decks.

Issue is 1.83 rounds per minute...

Also, my driver is Michail Koleshnikov. So close to Kalashnikov.  ;)


And it should be legal. There was an entire screenshot contest (open to the public), and multiple reviews with screenshots. Heck, there's even a user made movie contest now.

I've got the moon cannon for it now. 102mm penetration, and 1,850 damage for the standard shell.

The VK3002DB is such a charm, can't wait to get the Panther, it is fast, agile and has a good armor to take a beating. LOVE IT. (although I will try the T44 when the soft wipe comes round)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 19-08-2010, 11:08:19
t-44 is great

same speed as panther (or maybe even a little slower) but the traverse speed of the tnak & turret is so insanely fast, combined with the almost impenetrable frontal armor plate and a long 100mm gun makes this a great tank.
although you NEED the wet ammo racks or you will suffer from a lot of 1 shot in ammo rack deaths.

afaik the tank will loose 20-30HP (horse power not health) in the comming patch, panther too but compared to the t-44 he will loose less engine power.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 19-08-2010, 11:08:06
Panthers are better off in long range combat in shoot and scoot tactics.

The T44 is better off in faster moving battlefields.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 19-08-2010, 12:08:36
russian medium tanks from t-34 - t-44 are excellent skirmisher tanks.
i drove them all and i still use the T-34 beside the T-44.
 drive in when the enemy engages your heavies, cause chaos& confusion, shoot tacks, engines  etc on other tanks and never ever stop moving.

i havent played german mediums yet but i havent seen their tanks do this stuff.

every tank sucks whe you first get them (maybe not arty that much) because:

you most times lack engine, radio, tracks, guns & turret to utilize the tanks full potential.

But in one thing i have to agree with beaver. You allready researched the panther turret two times ( PIV and DB afaik ) and then you have to research it a third time? that kinda sucks. But i am still very excited to get my panther very soon. Or should i go for the IS-3 first? or maybe the SU-152?  ??? ;D

That's it? What a jip!

EDIT:

Bleh! This game sucks the more in depth you get. So many bugs I can't even count them. For some reason, I can't hit stationary targets a city block away, and a direct hit, point blank from a 47mm AT gun to the rear of a Pz2 takes HOW MANY shots to kill it!?

Glad I'm not paying for this.



Oh yah, that stupid crap people do with the moving their tank forward and backward rapidly to disrupt your targeting is so annoying and mechanically incorrect it makes me want to eat my own hands.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 19-08-2010, 20:08:51
Tip No1: Dont not, never ever, buy ammo for Gold. Its useless and not worth it. Use normal Ap or HE.

Tip No2: At first, its hard to hit without auto aim, since the crew kinda sucks. Later the hit chances of manual aim gets much much more improved.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 19-08-2010, 23:08:52
Yeah, don't use auto aim for normal fighting. The only time it's useful is if you're in a situation where driving is a lot more important than shooting accurately, like if you're a light tank and trying to evade fire.

The only bug that annoys me is the collision on the rock statics is too large. Occasionally my Leopard will just suddenly stop when I'm driving near one, yet no visible portion of the rock will be within a meter of my tank.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 20-08-2010, 00:08:09
Actually if i got a straight line of fire i always use auto aim. Esp. on long ranges. But if the target is hard to hit i aim manually ..

Hello, I'm a FH2 player but recently I've decided to try out World of Tanks game (russian full version). Problem is, I'm not so good with russian, so I was wondering would some of you be nice to send me their 'text' folder located in 'World of Tanks game folder'\res\

Thank you.

all fine that you want to try the russian version but why not just wait till the official release like all of us when you don't speak the language? Or play the european beta?

Because:
1. Because you have to wait
2. Because I didnt make it into european beta
3. Because russian version has extra content(its not a beta)

If someone could upload the text folder I would appreciate it, unpacked folder is 500kb large so it can be hosted on the net no problems.

Allright, first of all, the game can be run without text folder, so it would work. Using text files from english version would cover probably around 90% of the game language, which is far better than what I have right now.

I have already tried to open separate russian files but all there is in them is a pile of garbage, probably due to a fact that you need some sort of 3rd party program to open it.

And on to 3rd point, your question "Why am I here?": I am here because, like I said earlier, I am FH2 mod player, and read these forums regulary. I have noticed the huge World of Tanks thread, and have seen that alot of you guys are in the european beta, so I thought someone could help.

I am here because I contacted developer already 2 days ago, but he has last been online on august 20th if i remember correctly. I am here because I thought that, just maybe, if I try to get same thing from 2 different sources I might be able to get what I want faster. All clear now?

Horsepower issent what matters to speed  ;)
Panther tanks could go 55km/h IRL, but where limited later on at 46 km/h because it damaged the suspension IIRC.

But in this game we can upgrade to more powerful engines and suspension. Even if the top speed would be only  46 km/h an upgraded 912 HP engine should easily reach that MUCH faster compared to how fast T-44 can accelerate to that speed, it simply doesn't have the power.

Maybe because its a beta? or are you talking about the full game?

The battle's are Random now, you can not choose your team, you can not choose your map. You just click play and you get in the mix.

Teambattles and so will definitly be in the full game.

We are planning some big updates for the World of Tanks closed beta, which will include launching new game servers in North America and delivering a fresh patch containing new game features. To make sure everything works well, we will halt the game servers from 9 a.m. GMT August 26 till September 1.

On September 1, we will be on air again with all the players connected to the American servers. Several days after that, the new 0.5 patch will be rolled out with several new features, which are:

Squad fights. A squad will include 2 to 3 people and will allow players to invite their friends and join a random battle as a single fighting unit, which will help them coordinate their actions and maneuvers.
Additional modules. Install rammers and increase your firing rate, take suspension stiffeners and improve your tank’s tonnage, decrease visibility by installing a camouflage net, choose between dozens of upgrades that differ depending on a tank model you choose.
Crew kits. Equip you tank crew with fire extinguishers, repair kits, first-aid sets and other elements, with each of them providing extra help in battles.
With the new patch rolled out, all beta testers will get 5000 gold each to test the new game features. The patch will be followed by a “light” wipe when the players will go back to tier 1 tanks, but all the experience they have earned will be converted into free experience which they will be able to use at their leisure. All credits will remain as well, and losing all the tanks, modules, and shells will be compensated by corresponding amount of credits spent on buying them. If a player had a premium tank or shells, compensation will be arranged in respectful amount of gold.

Stay tuned, we’ll be informing you on all major events on World of Tanks.

I don't know yet, i really don't. I think i will just keep playing this game untill i have played every tank possible in this game and upgraded them all completely. Then make my pick of best tanks and never play the game again.

ill prolly go for PIII/IV as my moneymaker, a VK3001P as heavier money maker.

Also enjoy the T43. Not sure what else, I will focus mostly on tanks that are 43-44'. And these will be my favorite historical battles too.

For clanwars I will have a T44/T54 probably...

Guess their newspostings excluded the word 'temporarely' somewhere...nevermind ^^

meh cock. I just properly grasped / understood that the EU servers will close _PERMANENTLY_ and that now and in the future there will only be a USA server based in New York.

That sucks donkey weener. Seriously. Ping 200.....what a stupid stupid stupid decision on the side of Wargaming..might as well have picked Iceland or West-Ireland to equalize the ping difference between USA and Europe. But completely moving ?

I will raise hell about this on the forums for as long as I can, and if they dont implement EU servers I might consider registering for the Russian full game (with russian servers - perfectly fine ping). The client text can be converted to English anyways  ;D


Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.GN_Joker on 28-08-2010, 01:08:20
wrong. there will definitly be an EU Server at the release of the full version. an admin/dev confirmed it. don't find the thread atm.

Also, by the time we get our EU servers back we ought to solved some of the capacity issues there as well.


We're transfering the whole EU account database to the NA server. You will be able to continue Beta testing on the NA servers. Details on what will happen once we get the EU servers back will follow later.

ahjah...after reading a shitload of replies to some forum message I indeed now see they will TEST the US server performance and switch back to EU after a while....so far for clear and well stated news postings.

Wargaming has a history of these vague info-bits. Oh well. Glad its fixed :D tx for the heads up !

Most players I meet in the EU beta are americans anyways :3

Perhaps *cough* this might be because Americans tend to play together in the same timezone? And Europeans are a sleep ? or at work ? :P

The hell you know about "shitty high ping american servers" before you test it. Oh, right, test it. That's what you are supposed to do, as you were generously given the opportunity to help the devs in the closed beta, which is by the way not "European beta". It is for everyone who doesn't play on the Russian servers.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: siben on 28-08-2010, 11:08:04
Also, i have had better ping on US servers sometimes then euro servers. And usualy the difference here is 60ms vs 90ms. Yeah, that ruins the whole game  ::)

really, at least try before you start complaining. Hell, if the lag problem is fixed the us servers will play 10 times better then the euro ones.

Then you shouldn't be in the beta in the first place, because that is what a beta tester has to do. Test everything, the devs want/need to be tested. Even if it means playing on an american server with a high ping.  ::)

and btw, it was stated by the devs that the name "EU CB" was a kind off misleading, because it was a worldwhide ( except the russian community ) closed beta from the beginning in July.

You need to calm down really, high blood pressure isn't good you know.

When I joined it clearly said "European beta" well seems I forgot to read the small print that said "American also".

And how I know that those are gonna be high ping servers, well you only need brains and bit of experience from internet multiplayer games. If you are from Finland and play in American server you are going to have high ping. High ping is bad in my opinion that equals to shitty game.

About the lag, guys, I regularly get around 235 average ping. You can go upto 300 without problems. The little light at the top left of the screen determines whether your ping is good or bad, when the light is green, your ping no matter how high is excellent and the game is playable. Red means that the game is unplayable, and that you need to get the old man next door to stop downloading pr0n using your internet connection

Each Server will have its own account. But you can register on every server with the same nick and email, because they use different databases.

I loved the VK3002DB and will definitely try out the Panther. It's more suited to my game (hard and fast) and thus it's either the Panther or a T-44 for me. :)

in close combat defiantly, but in long range engagements the panther might win

But the T44 deserves to be better then the panther. Panther was designed 1942.T44 1944.

T44 woops that mofos ass to hell and back

while the T44 is faster, the panther is the better choice overall. The T44 seems to have a nasty tendency to blow up very fast. I have killed quite a few T44 with just 1-2 shots from my panther. The T44 is a good choice when engaging heavy tanks , but I would leave medium tanks alone.

Also, if your tracks get shot when you're in a panther, you still have a chance. If you have broken tracks on a T44, you're DEAD.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 29-08-2010, 14:08:13
The T44 also has terrible rear armor and a really low engine deck that's easy to hit, and even in a Leopard I've dealt decent damage to T44s if they're distracted by another tank.

I think I'm just going to pimp out my Leopard with grousers and an ammo rammer, I somewhat like being the crappy tank no one bothers to shoot at. It's still a pity there aren't higher tier light vehicles though.

Either that or I may get a Panther or VK3002DB. I really liked the PzIII/IV and those look like essentially slightly heavier versions of it.

The most awesome of all churchill tanks

They had a wider hull, and a new turret, aswel as thicker side armor.And more importantly, a 17PDR gun in a specialy designed turret for it.

They made 6 prototypes, and it was ready for mass production in december 1944 but the centurion got priority

Still, the 6 prototypes served in the Korean war, where their high gear ratios gave them an unparalleled gradient climbing capability in the hilly terrain of the Korean peninsula

Its upto player really. I couldnt get fun out of WoT for more than three days if that.

With all due respect, in three days you have NO idea what w.o.t. is, or can do. The first few days are mostly grinding, and the playstyle is completely different from higher end tanks/battles. I don't like low-tier battles one bit...

Not to mention that the current gameform is the most simplistic 16vs16 you can imagine with mostly unfinished maps (you can see major improvement in the russian 5.4.1 patch for example in the maps), unfinished game modes and unfinished variety and upgrades.

In the end the clanwar mode, the combat-by-year, the realism/hardcore mode and many other gamemodes and additions with make it a completely different game. Right now, its just 50% of the content thrown together on a couple of maps to test the game engine and balance. Thats it.

If you like it now..you'll love it in the end. If you dislike it now, good chance you will still enjoy the finished product ...my $0.02

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 30-08-2010, 20:08:21
tbh I would not worry too much about that. Yes its harder, but this only becomes evidential in the upper echalons of the tank-types. In other words, you can progress fairly rapidly without premium/gold to a decent, fun tank to play (PZIII/IV, PZ IV, T34, T28 etc).

These make good money and it stops feeling like a grind (unlike he lower tier stuff, in my view that is)

I love the tanking tactics in this game. The game is much more deep than it might look like at first. Its fun to change your tactics according to your tank, its upgrades and equipment. There are also many sorts of tanks to play with like TDs, Arty and so on.

Couldn't agree more.

With all due respect, I can't understand how people are still playing this, and have since the beta release. I played it for a week, 3 battles in a row.. MAXIMUM. then had  to wait at least 6 hours before touching the game again.

Incredibly repetetive game.

And yes I played to "higher" tiers. think I got a SU-85. Totally sucked.

in all seriousness, yes sure it is repetitive, specially since there is only 1 game mode (yet). but thats where playing multiple tanks come in, a light tank play different from a TD or artillery or heavy etc.
in the end it is an MMO (and almost an RPG i guess) and i believe those get repetitive no matter what. i depends on how, what and who you play it with.

Darn, they will just keep adding stuff won't they, first tanks, then infantry, then planes. I would dare to say that in 3 years time they will announce ships.

I really am curious in witch direction this game will go in 5 or 10 years, i really think it will be a bit like runescape where as long as they make money they will keep adding new things.

Watching the interview now.

well as for ships, wargaming made "naval field" (or something called like that) which basically is the same as WoT just with WW2 ships.
and i believe they also have a WW2 dog-fighter aerial combat game.

or i am confusing stuff right now ...

Do we have to add all the numbers or is the number the amount of XP that you need to get there.

I can have IS-7 and protomause if i want to if its the total amount of XP needed. I had 1 100 000 xp when the game ended, and we still get to play a few days in September before the patch comes.

Might just go for IS-7 and Panther and jagdpather. And then play my way to jagdtiger. I had 2 upgrades, Jagdpanther, Ferdinant, SU-152 and Pz III/IV. I hope i have enough cash though to buy it all. Or at least 2 of em.

And no, they wont be sold yet, the patch if a few days after US servers go up, so probably sept 3 or 4
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Bang0o on 31-08-2010, 14:08:33

so are my tanks still there tomorrow or are they already gone?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: siben on 31-08-2010, 14:08:07
From the official news about the patch:
Quote
On September 1, we will be on air again with all the players connected to the American servers. Several days after that, the new 0.5 patch will be rolled out with several new features
Quote
With the new patch rolled out, all beta testers will get 5000 gold each to test the new game features. The patch will be followed by a “light” wipe when the players will go back to tier 1 tanks, but all the experience they have earned will be converted into free experience which they will be able to use at their leisure. All credits will remain as well, and losing all the tanks, modules, and shells will be compensated by corresponding amount of credits spent on buying them. If a player had a premium tank or shells, compensation will be arranged in respectful amount of gold.

So yes, we can still play a few days with our old tanks.

Will just buy Leopard and use H38 as farmer and with the extra gold you get I'll throw in a Somua too and get another cheap light tank, Panzer II, for farming.

I'll get me a King Tiger with a premium Churchill I think. Then play towards the Panther if I haven't got enough XP already. There's not much else I'm intrested in from the German and Russian trees. Maybe I'll just go and save money/XP for when they release the American tree. :)

could be interesting, strange he is also mentioning airplanes, rocket artillery and even bazooka infantery. but i guess thats just spreading some rumours although rocket artillery like katjucha or panzerwerfer -maultier could be nice

From what I've heard these 'third party events' are commander-controlled and if ever included, will most likely only apply to clanmatches. Building (infantry) defenses before the round starts. Calling in off-map artillery strikes etc.

No, no! Horses die when you beat them too much and tractors are way less reliable then my tank. Plus when my neighbour walks up my fields again I can shoot him off it.

I will only say that after the whipe the balancing system will be FAR superiour.

So far on the russian WOT I notice how much 'good tanks' become average and average tanks become good.
Everything just 'works'.

For example, churchills suddenly are where they belong - somewhere in thet op 2-3 of the list, tough as hell and semi-dangerous with their fast gun against most other tanks. They only meet with KV sometimes, or T34.

So, the churchill will be a very interesting grind-machine indeed...and a tank like the T28 suddenly becomes very very tres cool - I've one running now maxed out with the 85mm gun and it's pure murder to run around with that thing among PzIII and even PZIV. Joy joy!

I can only say that the new patch will - at least - be a major improvement. The new maps I also enjoyed a lot I must say.

Like i posted here about 3 times now, and like you can read in there official news section, the patch and softwipe will come several days after the us servers go up. Is it that hard to just read the last few pages of this tread, or the official news website, or any of the 100 treads about this in the official forum? Americans won't be in until the game release, and that will be before Christmas, no exact date yet.

Churchill aint so awesome anymore. Repaircosts have gone up to 3-4k and it gets sorted in with the T6-10 battles, atleast for now. Anything I cán actually penetrate gets killed by the other huge tanks so all you can do with it is drive along being target practice or cap the flag. Not very moneymaking.

with all thehuge ass tanks driving aroudn the 10.5cm is your only chance to damage them since the 75mm wont cut it. but only use HE.

Using HE on heavy armor plate instead of...AP...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 03-09-2010, 00:09:53
Well. The thing is, the HE damages tracks, external fuel lines, turret mount, periscope, viewfinder, radio etc etc.

So yes, its not effective, but a big whopping HE shell does a lot of damage to a tank - more so than a AP shell that cant penetrate at all :)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 03-09-2010, 10:09:23
Yeah, if your gun is just too weak to damage a tank with AP use HE. Especially with big calibres it´s really nice. On your Hetzer I would use HE with the 10,5mm only.

When you have a good crew definitely stay with the 7.5 L/70. It's accuracy and cheaper ammo costs make it more usable in my opinion. Another fun thing to do is (when you've got the P with the best Motor) get yourself the 105mm and have some mobile blitz arty fun. ^^

Yeah, looks like it was a good choice to use the 7.5 cm gun...also I´m not a good shooter, especially on longer ranges when enemy tanks are warping around the map, so the faster ROF of the 7.5cm is more usefull. The VK is a pure medium tank, but it can still cause some damage on the heavies and easily challenge other medium tanks. The ammount of heavies right now is just insane, so I´m mostly fighting these... :/

I kinda got ripped off with my credits after the wipe .. I could barely afford the IS4 :( I had 2 mill spare credits, an IS3, T34-85, a BT-2 and 3 Modules before that ..

Ended up with only 4,5 million credits which all went into the IS4 :<

With the 3001p, get the L/70. For upgrades I reccomend getting suspension then the new engines. You're more of a scout before you get yur new guns. Plus with the last engine and suspension, your top speed is 60km/h  ;)

Same here, I now have a fully upgraded KT with liner, rammer and stabalizer. Together with the IS3 the best all-round tank imo but they doubled the ammo costs. Even good rounds are compensated by the many rounds I need to replace. I don't think it can keep itself up without premium. But I got a month's so no worries yet. :D

Btw, should I rather take the 88 L/56 or the 7.5 L/70?

Get the 7.5. The 88L/56 is for sniping, so it's kinda useless on a fast moving medium. Lack of penetration is often compensated by the ability to flank your enemy.

I'm going to ignore the ignorance in your statement and rephrase my statement...



Using HE on heavy armor plate instead of...AP...
Why not?

IRL the SU/ISU 152's gun HE Shell was so powerfull, it simply ripped the turret off a Tiger I when the shell hitted the frontal armor

It's like firing a HESH round. You can do serious spalling damage with large, slow guns and HE ammo.

Had a SU-85 with a 122 mm howitzer before the wipe. That thing was a beast.

Post by: Sander93 on 03-09-2010, 17:09:55
Damn I never really used HE before but I just found out its so much more effective against T9/10 targets than AT. It always damages them, 3-10% but what the hell, way better than the 70% bounces my AT rounds get.
Time to load up more of those babies.  :D

I love the Leopard, looks epic like a scaled down Panther with a Lamborghini turret and epic speed for it's size too; 55km/h downhill / 45km/h normal and HE shells with it's 5cm gun pack a punch too. And when your opponent is too big.. Drive circles, burst HE, drive away, some other big guy will finish the job.

Also really fun to sneak on SPG's, destroyed that ugly beast that looks like she would fire nukes with a couple of HE shots. Yeaaaeeeaah  8)

That thing is a beast if people don't know how to fight it. I remember a while ago I was fighting 3 other tanks when my crew got knocked out, and none of the enemies realized I had died and kept shooting my empty tank. It literally took them about 5 minutes to finish it off.  :P

Today I took part in a very strange battle. Both teams had each one Maus and one IS-7. It was basically the battle of the giants and me, with my puny little VK3001 (P) was stuck in between. :/
For some reason I feel pretty chanceless with a mid-tier medium tank. Every game is flooded with heavies that take me down in a second while I barely have any opponents that I can destroy.... I should´ve used the credits and free xp from the soft wipe to get a good tank destroyer instead of a medium tank...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Ciupita on 04-09-2010, 19:09:02
yeah.. well, i have KV with 152mm gun... it's a nice tank.. but reloading takes way too long with that big gun (only 2,7 shots/minute). So basically: with this tank, you must attack vehicles that are already hit or find weaker tanks to shoot.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 04-09-2010, 19:09:40
Medium tanks really dont fit into the game at the moment. Besides the huge number of heavy tanks rolling around the maps are simply too small for their purpose (flanking). As the maps will be bigger in the release, mediums should become equal again.

Right now for example on the map with the church on a mountain, in the eastern valley it's impossible for a medium tank to flank without being directly driving into someones gun. If you try to flank the heavy camping on the right, you'll drive into the guy camping on the left. Bigger (but less open perhaps) maps should solve a solution.

I never had enough stuff for a big tank so I went on with my initial plan and got myself a Leopard, your HE and AP shells can punish other scouts and SPG's and your fast enough to evade most of the big guys. But you probably die every match, I can live with that.

well, I dare to say the leo is the best tank of it's tier. If you're lucky enough to be putted in a lower tier battle, it's quite good.

That everybody runs around in a IS-4 and IS-7 was to be expected ... Give players all their Xp in free xp + a bag full of gold, and they'll simply rush to the best tank available. It's understandable from the devs POV though since they prolly want some feedback from higher tier tanks, premium tanks and premium shells.

but from a gamers perspective, i woudn't have mined it if everything went back to 0.

It's extremely powerful for it's tier, but it's really more of a tier 5 tank in tier 4 than a good tier 4 tank, as it is as expensive to buy and repair as those tanks a tier above it. It does create some problems using the new system where it can get grouped in with lower level tanks though.

Maybe it's just my slightly worse driver, but does anyone else feel the Leopard got a big reduction to it's speed in this patch though? I've been having trouble keeping my speed above ~45 kph.

noticed the same with panther and t-44. seems like their engines are crippled  :-[.

this is a bad thing: previously these medium tanks traded armour + gunpower for speed .. now everything is too.. medium. medium armour,medium gun, medium speed.

too medium armour to protect well
too medium gun to shoot the toughs
too medium speed to dodge shots.

you're so fricking slow your too easy to shoot. currently, the best way to go seems either heavy or arty
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 05-09-2010, 23:09:35
Naa. It snothing wrong with the tank. Only thing is that the ground properties actually effect your speed now. If you drive over forest floor you slow down, if you drive into muddy stuff you slow down so does sand slow you down. If you keep on the roads or more solid ground like rocky surfaces or grass you can reach higher speeds.

Got the best engine and a driver at 100%. The max speed isn't so much the issue it's that turning drops your speed a lot more than before, and on maps like Murkova with the wet ground everywhere you simply cannot keep your speed up. I like the idea of making people stay on roads in theory, but lights are already so restricted in where they can go.

I am pretty sure that the final release will see more open maps favouring light tanks, as well as a serious crop towards the heavies. Also, it seems that the lights will grow in popularity now that the heavies are countered by artillery and tank hunters.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: siben on 06-09-2010, 17:09:28
Isn't that like in real life? no matter how good the optics over range your shot will create a natural cone of fire? Even when the gun can not move the slightest when you shoot it 3 times over a distance of lets say 500m the shots will not impact on the same place. Minute differences in bulletshape/weight and gunpowder charge and tolerances just make it impossible. The texture of a barrel also in never the same. It changes after each shot. All very small changes, but they have a noticeable effect over distance.

I call it realism.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 06-09-2010, 17:09:58
But the range is like 500 meters it sucks when you sometimes hit and sometimes don't so you can rely on tactics that much. IRL good gunner hits targets better than bad gunner but here it's more like playing with slot machine.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 06-09-2010, 18:09:26
Dunno whats wrong with you, but i even hit stuff 500 meters away with a 152mm short howitzer which has a cone of fire twice as big as my target ..

All the other guns are even more deadly on range. 130mm, 100mm .. They are like sniper guns. I can shoot precisely at parts of the tank i want to hit even on 400+ meters.

But maybe its just that crappy german stuff ..  ::)

88 KwK43 L/71 was awesome, had like a 90% hit rate. Yet my KT's 10,5 L/68 is way more inaccurate, like 70% accuracy. Not really worth whining about but I wouldn't mind if it gets improved a bit. I am after all wasting 1k money and 10 seconds of valuable reload time because of 'luck'.

JagdTiger is very costly in ammo, but my my is it worth it. the IS-3 I have on the ther hand, is not. Since the 100mm is the logical choice considering all the 122s have the same penetration and half the ROF of it(bar the almighty BL9), plus the ammo is cheaper. But it means that unless your open to buying APCR rounds, you cant penetrate anything from the front above an IS.

I want this tank.
(http://www.allempires.net/uploads/3790/KV-VI.jpg)
KV-VI
Operational History
The first prototype was completed in December 1941 and was rushed into the defense of Moscow. In its first action during a dense winter fog, the rear turret accidentally fired into the center turret. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The second prototype was completed in January 1942, and was sent to the Leningrad front. This one had indicators installed to show whe another turret was in the line of fire. In its initial attack on the Germans, the tank broke in half when crossing a ravine. A spark ignited the leaking flamethrower fuel and the resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The third prototype, shown here, had a reinforced hull and was also sent to the Leningrad front in early 1942. It did manage to shoot down three German aircraft. In its first ground engagement, the KV-VI was firing on German positions when coincidentally all of the guns fired from the 3 O'Clock position a the same time. The tremendous recoil tipped the tank into a ditch and the severe jostling set off the 152mm ammunition, which completely destroyed the vehicle. After these failures, Stalin cancelled the project, and many of the design team members spent the rest of their lives in the Gulags of Sibera. The KV-VI was nicknamed "Stalin's Orchestra" by the few Germans that encountered it because of the variety of weapons it deployed.

I was kind of hoping they would add armored cars as well. Unlike light tanks they continued to be developed throughout the war, so you could have high tier ones, and one like the Puma would have more than enough firepower to be useful.

That's actually the T-100. The were very similar though. During the winter war, the T-100 prototype, SMK prototype, KV-1 prototype and number of T-28 breakthrough tanks assaulted the Finnish positions at Summa. The KV-1 was the only one that survive the battle, so it was accepted to production. The "super tank" idea was scrapped after that.

Would be an interestin addition to WoT though :P

Matilda tanks are INFANTERY tanks, not heavy tanks

Infantry tank was a dated concept even in ww2. Technically infantry tanks shared much of the properties of heavy tanks, except their guns were generally not designed for massive armor penetration. (there was no massive armor to penetrate).

The matilda was heavier than most heavy-classified tanks at the start of ww2 - the infantry tank nomination disappeared and the 'heavy' tank replaced it mostly.

Even if you say 'infantry tank was its original name thats how it should be' realize that the version in game has the Russian 76mm anti-tank gun, the same as the KV one. It is not an infantry tank anymore, and was not used as such by the Russians.

First you need a good farming tank. VK3601, T 34 85   are some good choises

Do you have gold with your account? If yes, use it for premium, this will get you 50% more EXP and cash

As for the panther or ISU, i can say that i LOVE the ISU, but it is very skill requiring

Panther veterans here can surely give you more info about it

The Panther is a great choice once you get the long barreled 88 and a good crew but it depends on how you would like to play. If you want to be sneaky and defensive I would go for the ISU but if you want a good all rounder you can't go wrong with the Panther or T44.

Also, I find that with the Panther your team mates always seem to whine at you if they die for some reason. Almost as though they expect you to single handedly win the round for them.

I actually sticked with the SU152, since i dont really see any advantage in the ISU (except the long 152mm maybe). One of the big advantages of the SU over the ISU is taht you mostly get stacked with rather weak tanks like tigers and such. And those are dead in max two hits, so you can wreak some serious havoc on the enemy if you get into a good position. :)

(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5063/shot006.th.jpg) (http://img214.imageshack.us/i/shot006.jpg/)

Namely, check out my remaining ammo. The map ended with my team outnumbering the last pz.III 5 to 1, but the other 4 tanks on my team were SPGs who couldn't hit a damn thing, and I only had 1 AP round left which I was obviously hesitant to use. This made the last few minutes a real nail-biter, as it was very difficult to kill the last enemy with HE alone(which is pretty useless on the Leopard's gun), though finally I was able to knock out its tracks and one of the SPGs finished it off well it was stuck.

Match-making system changes:
fixed SPG team balance;
added limitations on the number of SPGs in battle;
• new time-out balance (when waiting in line for battle time exceeds 5 minutes): tier restrictions added
• 10% weight increase for tanks that are a part of platoon.

Balance system works based on weight, so if one side gets a 60 ton heavy tank and a 20 ton light, the other team would get two mediums of 40 ton each in compensation if there are no other same-worthy tanks waiting.

So the 10% increase for platoons means the other team is more likely to get heavier hardware, thus countering the teamplay-overweight the platoons have. In theorie.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 15-09-2010, 17:09:15
huh what ?

I've been having great fun with the T44 pre- and postpatch. I hardly notice a difference now...

Actually, I *do* notice a difference. Namely that with the current matchmaking system I get into 'lower' tiers often, fighting only tigers and lower. Perfect! 50% of the time im with IS3/4/7, but I do fine.

I make a good profit on them, not always, but enough to have fun with it. Top tier tanks should not be dependable moneymakers unless you are really, really good/careful/lucky :D

Without our platoon suicide missions my Panther is actually quite profitable.  ;D
Offcourse I still get the occasional fire which ruins any round but with some tactical playing you can easily earn 20-30 with it. Ammo costs are very low aswell. But then again I seem to be the only one making pretty good profits out of high tier tanks if I read the WoT forums.

By the way cancelled the A20/T34 project. A20 was only getting into high tier matches which was ghey and my KT and Panther are more than enough to play with.
Figured I'd just slowly save up credits and XP till US tanks come out. :)

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5293/shot100.jpg
Hits on these parts are 100% penetration with at least 8.8 on IS3 and 10.5 on IS4.
The IS3 parts are easily recognized by being less sloped, the IS4 one is the part where the spare tracks are put.

Only have yet to find the IS7s. But I rarely encounter one let alone surviving long enough to score some researching hits on them. :D

Done developing the German tech tree for awhile, I am satisfied with them, especially my beloved Hetzer. I named him after my car which is named after a fictional hurricane: "Scrambles". Reminds me of this...

Oh and I was thinking -- there needs to be some kind of character/tank customization in this game -- like being able to design a tank decal and "name" for your tank. You know, so that it doesn't just look like half your team looks exactly like you do.

T34/57 is the most fun tank to play I think, of ALL. Very variable playstyle (sniper, scout, killer). Varied matches against low tier and high tier (50/50). Great in packs, good alone. Looks nice, cheap.

Earns tons and tons and tons of money (300k in an hour is no exception at all).

If you would mind to pay attention, I was talking about the T34/85

However, with the renewed tier system at least the 34/85 became somewhat useful ; when it is ranked against KV, KV3, VK36 and maybe the odd tiger and IS it's pretty good in it's role!

And, guess, you havent heared me complain at all about the 34/85 since the new patch. If there's something I hate its being hypocritical :)

Moreover, an ISU is hardly representative of normal tanks, as it's essentially a sniper and is therefore a lot easier to hide behind buildings or avoid being seen by staying in the bushes. Try avoiding fire from SPGs when fighting offensively and I guarentee you it will be a lot harder.

However, as primarily scout I do think they've made SPGs a lot more reasonable since the beta started. They used to almost always knock out the Leopard's tracks if they hit anywhere near the tank, and now almost never do even if they hit the Leopard directly. Between that and the Luchs which is agile enough to avoid being hit it's now much easier to kill SPGs than it was before.

The thing you guys got to understand is that the SPG's are ruining fun for others _because_ they are overpowered. Yes its probably fun for you, but I would not want to use some game system that is obviously flawed.

It is ruining this game profoundly, so why cooperate with it? I think this is rather stupid and self-destructive of those who use them (in a time where it is very clear there is an over abundance of SPG's).

Now if they would be hard to play, exciting, rare to encounter...sure, why not. But what this game needs right now to become and stay popular is less SPG, more proper tank battles. Help the world become a better place, ignore the lure of easy money of arty .... ???

@ Luftwaffe :

That just means it will take longer to reach the phase we have now. That does not solve the inherent problem that they are laserguided sniping missile-shooters.

Arty never shot this accurate, it never shot moving targets 50% of the time (heck not even 1% of the time).
Just watch a match where there are 2-3 arty and see how they dominate gameplay. People hide for them, people find cover.

Common and interesting tank tactics become useless because hull-in positions, flanking tactics and other maneuvres dont offer any protection against arty.

Yeah arty is totally unbalanced sucks when tier V arty dominates the game. It only beta though but its still so lovely to hear arty players keep yelling the arty ain't unbalanced  ;D.

Hope they change the satellite view and laser guided missiles, last time I heard there neither was invented during that time.

@ Luftwaffe :

That just means it will take longer to reach the phase we have now. That does not solve the inherent problem that they are laserguided sniping missile-shooters.

Arty never shot this accurate, it never shot moving targets 50% of the time (heck not even 1% of the time).
Just watch a match where there are 2-3 arty and see how they dominate gameplay. People hide for them, people find cover.

Common and interesting tank tactics become useless because hull-in positions, flanking tactics and other maneuvres dont offer any protection against arty.

It becomes an extremely one-sided style of gameplay, as has been witnessed and complained about by the majority of the players so far.

I hope they strongly strongly nerf arty to death ;)
1.The majority doesnt complain
2.SPG's are very easily defeated

It would really help if you would do more than simply stating your opinion. You don't give facts, you give your thoughts ; please be more specific on your points and give some proof about them.

1) The majority does not complain ? Eh...? Under what rock have you been living? A quick look on the WOT forums in the right topics shows that people *do* complain massively and constructively.

2) Arty is not easily defeated at all. You cannot defeat something you cannot see ; and if the enemy team has more than a few braincells to divide among them, there will be defenders to keep you out of the base.

One spotter can light up the entire team, meaning the hail of death comes within a second or two. Many maps offer zero protection in 90% of the map space. And since turning/speeding does not help at all (Especially not in anything but the smallest, nimblest tanks)  this basically means you're screwed if there is any decent arty in the enemy team. The alternative is to all hide in the little coverage there is - and this is exactly what happens, simplifieng gameplay in a 'hide for arty' kind of mode. If thats your idea of fun..

Arty currently dictates the majority of the tactics and gameplay possible ; most games I witness with more than 1 or 2 arty pieces end up in a rain of laser guided missiles hammering down on anything that is not clinging to a house or a big rock like his life depends on it. Countersniping between arty is currently the only viable way besides driving in a leopard all day to eliminate arty quickly. Neither is fool-proof, and both can be countered easily.

There is *no* counter from a player perspective against Arty except hiding for cover at the moment. That is not good, it is thoroughly screwing up this game from all ends. Witness a battle with few or zero arty and you can see magnificent tank-formations and strategies unfold right in front of you, often mimicking successful real life ones.

With arty the gameplay simplifies into the extreme and often becomes a boring campfest with a few fast tanks that dare to make a charge, shells impacting around them with 5 meter precision as if we are talking 2010, not 1944.

3) Saying 'this is an arcade game' is rather moot, the arty is so far beyond the realm of anything even remotely fun, realistic or balanced it is pointless to bring this up really. There are many aspects in game that are 'arcadish' but they are usually not unbalancing things as massively as this. They can be countered with a variation of options, or evaded if you so wish.

Maybe its because you hide in a bush with your ISU152 all day long that you don't have a lot of problems with arty - but the other things you can do in medium/heavy tanks are all seriously limited to 10% of their capacity by one single asset - enemy arty. That is flawed to the deepest of its nature, simple.

Massivly? Constructivly?

Alot of complain, but not even 1% brings up even useable solutions. To them, SPG's are just an unit that gets 6 kills per round, but not even ONE of them has brought proof

Their is a simple solution, limit the amount of SPG's per team.2-3 max

Any KT getting eaten by an IS(2) is unworthy of playing. Only IS4s should be able to get out of a KT fight with enough health to be mentionable. ISs die like flies by my 10.5 and I have also never lost a fight with an IS3.

Same here. I only hear complaints (at least 50% of the matches) about arty - both the amount and the fact they have Laser Guided Frikkin Missiles From Space.

When the game had it's wipe we also heared a lot of people complain about balance and the number of heavies - that has ceased, I rarely hear people complain unless the balancing system has failed (10% of matches ?).

Balance is doing quite nice lately. And the times it screws up vehicle wise it most of the time somehow manages to stuff  the overpowered team with retarded heavy tanks. Like last round in my Panther where it was 2 IS3s vs 2 panther but the IS3s rushed our main without support and got raped.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 21-09-2010, 20:09:41
@ Theta

dude, seriously, get ours eyes out your peeper and take a good look at accuracy and damage of arty, combined with many maps not having serious cover, low speed of tanks (and again, predicting high speed targets is really quite easy). Also look at the TIER of arty and see tier 3-4-5 arty completely wtfpwning t8-9-10 tanks.

Also, for a change, try to play a normal game - not hiding in a bush or behind a house, like most tankdestroyers - and see that out in the open what comes from the sky dictates what you can and cant do most of the time.

If this game even remotely wants to carry its title 'world of tanks' and reference to real life tank battles, the current artillery system is *not* the way to do it. This is world of artillery, with the tanks as spectators.

In real life, arty was used against massive stationary targets - and by sheer number and repeated shots they could zero in to say a Ferdinand (Which is what the SU-152 did, precisely). Even then, it was only spalling that did the damage with the biggest of shells - Ferdinands were left completely intact besides crew injuries after 152 impacts.

Arty should be reverted to a more supporting role, doing damage to tracks and external systems (jamming the occasional turret, doing damage to light tanks - the scouts that are their nemesis, track damage and a few HP removed. Direct hits are nonsense. Arty was not used to score direct hits but to do wide-area-damage.

They claim some historical accuracy on their website, arty currently is in the realm of sci-fi and a game situated in 2100 - by that time we will be able to reach such accuracy (1-2 meters) in real life.

I really dont mind a bit skewed balancing tbh. I've had the most fun and exciting games from matches where my team was outnumbered or out-classed. This really means the inferior team needs to think out a proper strategy to still come out victorious :)

i think that what we need is changing arty system so it will make shooting campers easier but impossible shooting those that move
i mean if we made "Circle of Aim" so it will be huge even if you slightly move your mouse BUT if it stays still it aims very fast
effect?
-shooting moving targets almost impossible
-shooting camping tanks a LOT easier
how about that?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 21-09-2010, 21:09:08
-shooting camping tanks a LOT easier

Not good, means all German heavies which are build to be used defensively will become useless. As said, arty should be a supporting class damaging modules and not doing any major damage.
The fact that they're sniping killing machines is rubbish. Not even state of the art modern artillery with intelligent ammo can hit a tank bull's eye.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 21-09-2010, 21:09:55
Arty should be spotted far away and should fire inaccurate small barrage with longer reload time that can hit multiple targets but chance of direct (laser guided) hit would be smaller.

This idea has already been posted to the forums IIRC. Hope the devs take it into consideration.

Get a T28 if you really want to do something. It's faster, has better guns (57mm and 85mm). And just as cheap as the A20 :)

[edit to clarify] The T28 and A-20 are both the same Tier. If it's just for this tournament, the T28 will be more usefull gunwise (sniping from range for example) than the A20 (scouting and dieing :D)

Eh Hi, the T34 is FAR superior to the T28 ;)

It's just that if someone needs to train *something* really fast the T28 is easier to reach than the A-20, and gives better results usually.

The T28 leads to a crappy KV however, while the T34 leads to T34-85 which is pretty decent. And the T34 itself is better than a T28, anyways.

People need to stop confusing what I say with something else :P

I could jump up pretty high in a given tier if I wanted(I have ~180000 free xp and plenty of credits and gold) but the problem is I just enjoy playing as the light tanks a lot more than the heavier tanks I used to have before the wipe, soI never bothered to buy those tanks back.

As much as I would enjoy to arrange things like this, I have the shittiest week of the year ahead of me.
I have to do a *ton* of taxes/financial stuff between now and friday....and I'm already stressing out :)

I haven't been playing this at all for about month, as my computer broke and I was too lazy to download this game for my laptop. So are the tanks you have now, going to be there when beta ends or is beta actually ended already :D? I sure will join this clan of yours, after I get my computer back and download new patches for WoT.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 22-09-2010, 11:09:08
Right my thoughts on this whole thing ( I just read the championship rules, did not have time until now )

Let me first state that I will be more than willing and capable to get a good, strong team ready in the future. But this means I will have to do more recruiting, will need at least a two weeks time to arrange training battles, discuss/practice tactics, find strong/weak points etc etc etc. Going into battle right now would be pointless, it does not matter how good our individual skill is - as a team, we have very little experience and hence will lose.

Anyways :

1) We have very little time to prepare for this. I am most worried about communication. Teamspeak is not useful anymore beyond 5-6 players, it even works counterproductive. We could have someone just 'spectate' in the channels and switch to send urgent messages to other platoons (as well have some kind of battleplan - but we need _time_ for this and practice).

2) We are chronically short on active players. Even I myself - as you all know quite active - will have trouble to be there every time, mostly because of bad timing of real life matters. I am not sure how we can warrant all 14 players be available. Even worse, we might have to substitute players that are too inexperienced (the core of elite FH guys is around 11-13 I think, after that skills go downhill pretty fast)

3) We are missing out some players because of German-Only rule. Sander93 is one of them (although he has an A20 and *could* train to T34 in a day, but he's a lazy bum so who knows :D)

4) We are short on experienced Arty players. Bangoo has S51 I believe, we cant use Theta's hummel because of nationality issues. But realistically, we are going to encounter enemies who have 4-5 S51's ready. It won't be fun, it won't be fair - but competition allows this sadly.

5) We cannot make a decent team based on T34 really. We need a maximum amount of IS3/T44, preferably the first ;) I think only drew has one, all other people have IS4+. T44 is nice, but dangerous since they can be popped easy so should not have more than say a platoon of them. The rest should be IS, IS3 optimally, with a few T34 to get below the allowed 90 tier-tickets per 14 players. (8x14 = 112)

To be honest, I think right now as unprepared as we are - tactically, strategically, player-wise and last but not least tank-wise - we have zero chance of getting anywhere except to tankheaven really fast :)

Actually, the Russian championship was riddles with high-end Arty. 3-5 was not an exception, and it worked very well. They would fire in succession with 5-8 second delay basically creating a rain of arty on a target, and meaning there would be ONE shot every 10 seconds all the time. With SU-8 you could do the same and just create a hail of rain every few seconds ..brrr...

games will be played at 8p.m. CET. You can atleast participate in the games, that are not on your birthday. ;)

I would take my T-44, because this is my most experienced tank, i have. If needed, than i would take my IS-4.
Btw, did i understand it correctly, that we have 90 Points to fill our Team? So tier 10 tank = 10 Points and so on?

I went ahead and got a t-34/57, so you can put me in as a sub(I'll be at work during any weekday games).

Playing a few rounds with this thing it seems pretty solid. I figure in the tournament there will be a lot more APCR going around than normal, so honestly having a bunch of relatively fast tanks lacking in firepower might not be as big a disadvantage as it seems. I always keep a few rounds of the stuff with my Leopard and it is a real beast killer since heavier tanks aren't used to you being able to hurt them.

I'm halfway there though, 27k.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 23-09-2010, 10:09:27
If you make your self available for this tournament, all we need is some dedication and investment of time.
50k is nothing, you can have that in an afternoon or evening with premium ; especially if you use some gold to convert free xp from another tank.

The simple fact is, we have way too many t34's right now and we need some bigger tanks to stand a chance against other opponents. We will be facing a LOT of IS3/T44/Kingtiger/Panther.

So, I ask everyone to please try to grind to the next best russian tank they can - preferrably IS, IS3 T34-85, T43 or T44 if you can. We still have enough time left to get up 'one level' in a few days. It's not a penalty, it's an investment you make - if you want to play the tournament, do something for it :)

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: PanzerKnacker on 23-09-2010, 12:09:59
Well we do need 2 or even 3 TD's to cover that flank.

I mean, I'm like 6 people short, I'd like 3tds and 2spgs, 5 heavies and 5 meds, but I do with what I can. Besides, Theta can't play ISU cuz we need him as arty.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 23-09-2010, 13:09:11
tbh I think that the Russian tankdestroyers are too vulnerable. Their frontal armor is limited, which makes them prime targets to get raped by mediums from all ranges.

I would opt for IS/IS3 instead of tankdestroyers ; they are more flexible in their role (put a camonet on one and ditch him in a bush and you have a decent tankdestroyer too), have better and more sloped armor, can defend themselves against scouts etc etc.

I would strongly advise hence to NOT use any tankdestroyers at all, but only mediums, heavies and a few arty..

It really depends how far you can get that T43 in a day or 3-4...in theory its a superior tank, it's armor and HP values are much much better so survivability is much better too.  Your t34-85 will be two shotted by most stuff that we encounter in the map, not unlike a T34/57 (of which we have plenty).

So, try to train for T43 ; It would help a lot :) But which to pick depends on if you can unlock decent gun/engine/turret and fit a rammer :d
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: PanzerKnacker on 23-09-2010, 13:09:45
oki. change o tactics, corvi you can take the IS/ grind the IS3 and stay on defence
If the plan goes well you will also move into enemy cap zone.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Musti on 23-09-2010, 14:09:14
bad plan
ISU is not a defender its more of a medium-longrange direct fire support (damaging and killing tanks others are fighting)
it will get owned by more than 2 mediums with even slightly skilled players
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.GN_Joker on 23-09-2010, 15:09:54
so which tank do you want me to drive/grind to?

my best tank is def. my t-44 with crew at 100%, repair at 100% and firefighting at 60%, rammer, wet ammo rack and stabilizer.

but if we have to much t-44, i could go for the the 43. only need the tracks and engine and he is elite also, but i don't have enough money or gold to buy modules for him in time.

IS would maybe be possible too, but there is still al lot to research. Tracks, Engine and best radio. (~38kXP)

Landwirt is a Project Reality player that is very active in WOT, he is very good in his SU-8.
I will invite him, so we have two SU-8 arty's.

Dnarag talked me over to join your team in the tournament. I have a Churchill, a KV with the big ass turret and an SU-5. We talked about me getting the SU-8 but I'm afraid there's no way for me to get 50k exp in such a short time. My only elite tanks are the Churchill and the Pz38, so there´s no free xp for me.

Kalkalash, shit, I forgot to update you. I will add you to the reserve players; Possibly we can make you a reserve player to Cropanzer (if we can convince him to take KV with 105mm :D).

- American tank crews added.
- Companies / team mode (15 vs 15 battles). (Probability of the appearance - high)
- Clan wars more. Test version. (Probability of the appearance - medium)
- From 2 to 4 new maps ("Cliff", "Komarin", and 2 more).

- Introduced advanced graphics settings.
- Now for the first battle of the day (24h) player receives doubled amount of experience.
- Reworked interface of the platoon creation.
- Adjusted speed of burning of all tanks during the fire. Now the tank will burn at about 5% of durability per second.
- Multiple fixes and adjustment to match-making system.
- Fixed several places where tank can get stuck on the maps "Himmelsdorf", "Prokhorovka", "Lakeville", and "Hills".
- Changed destruction models and collisions of some objects.
- Removed dog squeals when driving over dog booth.
- Fixed collision-model of tank "Tiger I"

Only if there are technical reasons for it. Can't say for sure now, but more likely that there will be no wipe.

Too bad about the dog, I liked driving over them. If only ramming small tanks would make such a noise. :(


And how about you guys ask the mods kindly for a new topic or subforum for the tournament? :o

We cant fit more IS3's in I'm afraid. I could go T34 and you could go IS3 if you want, but either way, there is very little headroom (1 point as you can see) for further improvement.

The lower tiers are more or less fixed (I listed the best possible tank for the lower end of the scale), so we filled up the high end with the points that were left. Hence why I got an IS, not an IS3 (would have left little leverage for the rest of the team).

I am perfectly happy with an T34 as you know, so if you want to use our IS3 no problem - but make sure it is 100% upgraded by the time the tournament starts :)

looking at the numbers again, I might switch to a T44 - this means:

We have one Squad of T44 (3x)
One squad of heavies (IS, IS, IS3)

One squad of T34/85/T43
One squad of T34
and One squad of two SU-8 + a defending tank

What do you guys think ?

Might want to add one BT7 or A20 as a fast reconnaissance to spot arties and hiding tanks.
Depending on the map offcourse.

One more message of me, again ;)

To sander, suggesting A20 or other fast scout :
I think Lakeville can be 'locked' too well (valley and center) by a few tanks to make scouts useful. Village will be hell probably, no way a scout will survive that (unless its a Leopard, which we cant use).


Yes my bad, was thinking more about maps like Marinovka. Lakeville is indeed no place for scouts. :)

As mentioned about 4 times the last 3 pages, you have to play in a team of the same nation. And not many people had proper German tanks so it are Russian tanks that we are playing.

Are we registered yet? I ask, because of the 32 team limitation.  :-\

If you guys wish I can register tomorrow with the team I just made. I just found out where to register, so I guess thats what I will do :) One little problem might be that I need the *exact* player names of everyone, and with all the double names I have no clue who is going to be who... [edit : fixed ! :D]

count me in for training. btw where are the isu´s? we gotta have some pwz0r isu´s!

Well, I think the russian SU-152 and ISU-152 (or SU-100 for that matter) do not deliver enough pound for pound compared to their german counterparts.

Basically, we would be wasting 8 tier-points at a ISU152 that can be killed by a T34 in 15 seconds. Thin armor everywhere, also frontally...Now a Ferdi, or even jagdpanther is very good from the front.

If people think differently please tell me, but right now I would prefer to have T44 or IS3 in-game rather than a ISU152. More flexible, stronger...

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Musti on 24-09-2010, 01:09:19
For tier 8 battles ISU's are not so useful

*IMPORTANT*

If you guys see anyone from the team please notify each other (frequently :D) that we will have a training battle against a French clan of 15 men, starting Saturday 20:00 west-euro time. I want everyone to be PRESENT 1hr before that.

We will use HSLAN teamspeak. Please ask them to notify me some way that they are coming, or if you read this yourself, to do that too :)

Ways to do this :

- Post in this thread (cleary, mark it green or something)
- PM me here
- PM me on WOT forum
- poke me on WOT chat
- Pigeons & smokesignals

This is the current, latest and most up to date list of tanks/players. I replaced all names with in-game names (Exact copies) because the rules of the competition demand that. If you see an error (except that I did not yet fix my own name properly..mmhh), or you wish to change something FRIDAY is the latest day to do it. Since Saturdaymorning I will submit  the form, preferably earlier.

Use daily premiums. its only 3 days 250 x 3 750 - 450 =250 gold loss for me

Get months premium since it takes only 17 days to get your gold back to 2500
Then you have unlimitied premium

k cool.

Guys, can we discuss some tactics for Lakeville here please? Just general idears, plans, places to be...
I'm okay with arranging everything, but I dont want to mastermind the entire strategy and tactics for the team alone :) So Prefer that we have a good discussion about it, then I will pick the best ideas and forge something which we can test Saturday evening against the frogs.

Let the ideas come ! :D

The aim system in this game is infuriating. Hitting any sort of moving target is impossible if you must traverse to hit it. I was just in a shootout with my stug with the big 75mm against a basic pzIII. My shots weren't landing on his side with my gun literally glitching into his hull. This is absolute insanity. It needs to be fixed, because, at some point, it doesn't matter how much the tank is moving around, you are going to hit him.

Just mount some 100mm on those T43/T34-85s
you will have your firepower
in that training i scored 2 lucky "almost" 1 shot kills (i've set them on fire with first shot but i shot them second time just to be sure) first on a Ferdi in 1st round then a Tiger in 2nd. i hope luck stays with me  ;D
I also hope that Frenchies get better because now its more of a target practice than real training. ;D

Meh at the "take the best you have" battle
i ve stayed in the base while you pwned frenchies
i managed to get to the frontline just in time to shoot 51% off last Jagdtiger
you could leave something for me you selfish bastards  ;D

its okay for me it was just a suggestion (we are talking about long 85 dont we?)

in real life Zis 85mm was better in performance than the other one (D5T i think)

Price for absolutely nomming Frenchies: priceless.  ;D

Also guys dunno if the tourny is gonna be using these training servers, but anways don't forget to refill ammo! I shot 15 shells in the first round and unknowingly went into the second battle with only 13 left, and ran out of shells halfway. :o

Luftwaffe got pinned down in his VK45 and took the full brunt of a IS7 and another heavy ponding into him

I had to go so I let him finish me  ;D

But I first did a good damage to him and then blocked him between the building walls and my tank. I could have survived if I had turned my front to him instead of trapping him with my side, but since I had to be somewhere at 21.00, I thought it was nice to just block him with my wreck

hey, you discovered a few enemy tanks and were a distraction so the T44's could start hitting him. You did your job! :) It's not like me blocking middle two times was exactly the most exciting story.

Wait, I can try.
I RUSH TO MIDDLE. No enemies in sight!
I park my T34 sideways - and I wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Oohhh! I see a red dot! I will kill that Bt-2 scout crap thing!
Oh. Its a ISU-152.
The ISu-152 did not oneshot me! omg ! This is so exciting!
*keeps pressing the fire button*
*takes off 40% health of ISU-152*

Post by: Kalkalash on 26-09-2010, 08:09:10
The last round was really fun. You guys first thought I was afk (I load maps quite slowly) so you sent Fuchs to block the middle. When I joined, I wasn't sure what to do at first but I then decided to support your attack in the town.

My first kill came when someone tracked a leopard near our base so I finished him off. After this I continued full speed to the town. By the time I arrived, you guys had taken out the IS-7s and IS-4s so there wasn't much for me to do.

I was leaving the town via the main road and I encountered a Jagdtiger. I was like "meh, this'll be easy" and I shot at it...and missed. The shell went just a few inches over the Jagdtiger and hit the house behind it. I started reversing to take cover behind a house next to me and I saw the Jagdtiger aiming at me. At the same time my game froze and I was sure I was going to die. However, as my game continued I heard the shot bouncing off from my front armor.

I drove forward again and this time landed a shot at the TD taking down almost half its health. It shot me and I lost two thirds of my HP and it also damaged my fuel tank. I backed behind the house again. Sander and Joker (at least I think so) were also engaging the tank. I shot at it again, this time hitting a street light between me and it. The Jagdtiger had lost its tracks so it couldn't aim at me. It was down to 12% and my fourth shot knocked him out.

I continued along the road towards their base and saw an SU-8 coming from the bushes. I missed just a bit but still caused enough damage to drop it down to 5%. Then their second Jagdtiger shot me and blew up my ammo rack and my game was over.

We gained victory even though our enemy had technological superiority. If all opponents are like that, we have quite a good chance of winning.

Its a client side modification.

Yes but quite irritating imo, for one it's harder to recognize threats (try to quickly spot a hummel between all those other pictures) and when using ALT ingame, the image blocks the health bar so you can't see how much health your teammates have. Not to mention the King Tiger symbol has a porsche turret which sucks.  :D

Don't think so, the damage one is class II right now and that's the easiest one for my tank outfit. Will still need to play 3-4 times as much to get that one first class.

Post by: :| Hi on 28-09-2010, 05:09:47
Dnar you whore, approve my accout on teh website :v

T-34 now. Best equipment options =  Cyclone Filter (for more durability and added tiem for the removed speed governor), enhanced gun laying drive(-10% aim time), and tank rammer (-10% load speed)?

for T-34 currently have 2 maxed crew dudes, last engine, and the gun before the 57mm
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dnarag1M on 28-09-2010, 07:09:09
Hi, done, now. Even I need sleep, despite the fact I'm a superhero and all.

Good upgrades on that T34 all, you could opt for exchanging the engine durability with a 5% crew boost instead. But that is matter of preference. I must say that so far I had few engine failures, but last few days I had a couple - and obviously always after I used my repairkit for something else  ;D

A slow T34 is a dead T34, eh  :'(

There are none planned, since the devs want you to test the T1-8 aswell.
Except if there are further changes that requiring one, there will be no wipe.

Also, corrected US tank tech tree;

I have no clue what that converts in but assuming summertime will screw something up I will be present way way before, and I hope everyone will :)

Great game this WoT btw, been playing for almst 2 weeks now.

Post by: Fuchs on 29-09-2010, 19:09:43
I love the T-34/57, it can punch any big guy and get away with it  ;D And sometimes you're lucky and get divided into a group of light tanks so together with 1 or 2 KV's and a Panzer IV you're the heaviest tank, thats so awesome, fast, agile and deadly!

Shame I bought a Leopard on my own account, as I never knew the T-34 was this cool.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kradovech on 29-09-2010, 20:09:09
I also have to mention the marder 2 is a beast. Basically no armor, but man, what a gun. I much prefer it to the hetzer.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: NoCoolOnesLeft on 29-09-2010, 20:09:13
Been playing this quite a bit lately. Got myself to the Panzer IV with full upgrades (minus the radio - going for that later) and the 105mm gun firing HE only.

Absolutely insane.

Then I sold it for the VK3601(H) with the same gun and it just isn't the same. Hopefully I can just get enough XP as quick as possible and get the Tiger. Really not enjoying this tank, despite its popularity.

As soon as the American tanks come out everything else is getting dropped.

It is with sadness to report that, despite causing the enemy serious losses, the team succum to overwhelming odds. We did well, but not enough.

I probably should have killed at least two, instead of damaging four :P

Ah well.

i didnt really follow the whole thing what were the "rules" for the battle ?
limit on tonnage, tier etc?

The soft wipe contrary to what many think was NOT so we could test the high tier tanks, it was because they were changing format in their database and it was easier to soft wipe than to save all our tanks and stuff..

So i very much doubt that we will have a soft wipe :p

Experience - 2.8, King Tiger, 11 kills.
Cash - 87k, IS-7 (53k profit)
Hits taken - VK4502 - 100 hits or so.

Man.. Pre-wipe was fun with my german tanks. But the russian tanks are also pretty nice. I still keep wondering should i have gone Maus instead of IS-7 though.
Got enough exp in the pre-wipe to get IS-7, T-44, ISU-152, S-51, T-34, Luchs, Leo and upgrade all of them fully.. Even had the cash for all of them.

I've not agreed to any EULA and I didn't even sign in to the forum to find that picture - its there clear as day for anyone to read and look at. Along with loads of other pictures and information. I don't even have a forum account. One picture. No massively big secret.

Anyway, mod edited my post and then I deleted it. You can calm down now.

When do the French and American tech trees get released?
A portion of the American tanks has been released to the Russian beta and will probaly hit european versions (ours) maybe in 2 weeks

The french tank tree will be the next tank tree worked on. After that it is the british one
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: siben on 28-10-2010, 01:10:24
American in lets say a month or so and french probably somewhere next year, same with british and japanese.

do keep in mind that the german and russian tree that is available now is only half or so of what will be in the final game, so they have big plans and a lot of work for the future. I do not see this game finished  the first 5 years or so.

They are also going to get a big clan system in, and very likely add rocket artillery and rumours about planes and infantry are also there.

Planes would be epic if balanced right. Give the player to call in an IL-2/Stuka airstrike if they have an upgraded radio or something. Just gotta make sure it can't be spammed every couple minutes.

Post by: siben on 28-10-2010, 14:10:45
Well, if they make it like the repair kits and stuff you have to buy is pre battle and you can also use it only once a battle.

And if they make it cost a shitload of credits people wont use it often.

But then it must really suck to drive a maus or similar since guess where all those air strikes will be directed too...

As far as I know, all these third party additions are commander based and meant for clan matches only. At least that is what they said some time ago.

Pre-match, the commander could set up infantry positions. During battle he will probably be able to call in airstrikes and rocket artillery. But I doubt this will be included in the public matches.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 12-11-2010, 14:11:33
how are you doing with the us tanks.

i had enough free xp and credits to buy the t1 heavy with most upgrades right of the bat.

first time i am driving a heavy tank, and i guess i am one of the first who played this game here since i played in the russian beta before the eu beta was out.

so far i am like this strange huge and overly long "sherman" the turret armor is good and the hull armor decent, for a tier 5 tank. with the 76mm gun it has good penetration and rate of fire. while being reasonably fast (35km/h) its turning rate is bad and it is freaking huge which makes it an easy target.

but so far i am doing good with it, finding nice hull down position where i can exploit the good turret armor.
i am almost half way done to the M6 heavy which isnt much different but a little more hull armor but in the end it can carry the 90mm gun.

the new maps seem nice, specially the desert map. plowing through the mud/clay huts with a heavy tank is just awesome :D the italy map(abby) i only played once yet with jagdtiger and drove straight through the city and capped the flag :D

the most notable new thing with the new patch is that warping is pretty much gone. which makes hitting fast tanks on long distances very well possible.

also projectile speed overall has been decreased by 20% so on distance you have to slightly lead moving targets, depending on muzzle velocity.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 12-11-2010, 14:11:36
T1 is not so good because it is always in tier 8 matches. and rarely in its same tier ones

But i drove defocus his T29 and T32 tanks, and those heavies are credit to team
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 12-11-2010, 15:11:04
well when i play alone i often got into battle where i was the biggest tank on my team and in the enemy team the biggest is a KV.  so that works out pretty well for me most of the time.

sure there are battles where i am again tier 8+ stuff but the gun is good enough to penetrate weakspots on most of those tanks. like the side armor of the KT turret.

Mystery solved. You need a minimum of 50? posts before you're allowed to comment in the suggestion forums. That's why it appears to be locked to some people.

Anyways I don't really like the E8 Sherman. It can't carry the 105 nor the 90mm so it seems kind of pointless to upgrade the M4 into this thing for a small health and mobility bonus. Maybe it does have some kind of big advantage over the M4 worth buying it for, but I have yet to find it. At least the M4 gets thrown into low tier battles half the time in which it excels.

I think he is trying to say that if you want the L71 then the T34 should still have the 100mm.

From personal experience I don't find the L56 to be that inferior to the 100mm. I can't comment on the 90mm as I'm still grinding the regular Sherman with the 105.

first /L71 is a lot better than 100mm
second if you want equal guns i want equal armor

I don't want that, I'm just trying to interpret what other people having been saying.

IMO if you give the l71 to the VK (3002) there's nothing that makes the Panther worthwhile.

i played with the T1 and soon after the M6 and i genuinely like them both.

although they are huge targets they are good enough for shooting from the second line on bigger tanks and can  deal easily with smaller ones.

few days ago i mounted the 90mm gun on the M6 making is a lot easier to deal with IS-3+ and KT+ tanks.

hell i even killed a Maus with is (of course not alone but i dealt some damage + the finishing blow)

also i kind of like the double XP for first battle of the day feature. sadly everytime i have this first battle is suck really hard.
just yesterday i had a round on himmelsdorf torching a KT with one shot and the he burnded and exploded and did alot more damage later in that round. got 2k xp, and the next round was the firs tof the day where i got 1500xp including the double xp. grrrr.

also thx to the potd thread i now know why the T1 and M6 have 2 gunners, they had 2 guns (in one turret) but ingame the second gun is simply missing. maybe it will get it later.

Sherman has good armor -.- it also has really good 76mm gun the 90mm would be just overkill. I could be balanced with L/71 if sherman had 90mm.

Post by: Die Happy on 15-11-2010, 16:11:57
you all talk about t-34 with 100mm gun but that the t-34-85 which is a tier 6 tank
other tier 6 tanks get 88 and 90mm guns so thats fine.

so the sherman E8 doesnt get it the 90mm. seems a bit "unfair" ok. but the 100mm on the t-34-85 has such a long reload time that it is not really worth using it in this small turret. with the bigger turret of the t-43 it becomes much more usable.

what i dont get why they dont give the E8 at least the 105 howitzer the m4 sherman can use.

so yeah maybe the E8 sucks a little but this is not the right forum to whine about it ;)

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 15-11-2010, 23:11:10
there are tanks (specially russian) that have tough armor all around so even hitting them in the back or sides wont do anything
thats when 105mm HE rounds start to really shine.
they will always do some damage, thats why i love the german 105mm gun in the tank destroyer tree, you can use it starting in the hetzer to the jagpanzer Iv and save a lot of research you dont "need".
you allways do damage even vs a maus or IS-7 which your 75mm guns wont be able to do.

thats why the sherman with the 105 seems reasonable to me.

Post by: hslan.Corvax on 16-11-2010, 07:11:40
The Sherman 105 rocks ass ! It the second best mid tier tank i've had yet after the T34. 80% of the times you get into games where you are one if not the top rated tank, which means you can one shot everything in the field. I rarely finish a game with it without having killed at least 4 enemys. M3 Lee, P3, Hetzers, and everythign below is one shot. A P3/4 survives with < 10 % health and massive module damage, same for the P4. It even kills KV's in 3 hits ..

And, with the best engine, its acceleration is really good, turn rate is good and its even pretty fast. All in all, great tank !

I guess we can leave the title 'tommycooker' to the Easy8 then. It's a bullet magnet - nice and big - and has a relatively standard gun with average damage and average accuracy. It's armor is made of the same wet cardboard as the T34-85 except that it is less sloped from the sides and it's twice the height.

A pretty harsh grind I can tell you ... ;D

Why do you actually grind with the M2 ? I played two rounds with my T34, converted the xp and skipped it completely ..

M3 Lee on the other hand is pretty cool if you get the M5 gun for it. The M3 isnt that great, but the M5 is fast shooting and highly accurate, even with crappy crew.

played my first rounds with the T29
damn that thing is big and cumbersome. top speed is ok but turning and acceleration is just bad. the turret with upgrade is the most ugly thing i ve ever seen on a tank.
still "just" playing with the 90mm gun and now more and more super heavys like is-4, 4502 + join the ranks of the enemys which makes this gun almost obsolete. 30k more XP until i get the 105mm gun which should take care of that problem.

the frontal turret armor on that thing is insane, if you find a nice hull down position you are almost indestructible except from the really big guns. but the tank is huge, bigger than king tiger and IS making it a great target.

first round was just awful, BT-2 (a freaking BT-2) spots me and hummel kills ammo rack and both loaders with 1 hit, but almost no damage. reloading was just great ...

Pershing should be T8 and M48 Patton should be T9
after all the Soviets get T44 and T54
And Germans the Panther and Panther II (I.e. a mini KT and thus i think it will be the inferior in terms of being a medium tank)

Plus the 105 gun is classed as T9 (the one that goes on the T29 etc) however the 88mm L71 has a higher penetetration, the 105 K18 has higher penetration and same pricetag/shell. the american tanks are overated for the abilities.
The T9 105 should be a T7/8 gun

I do not know about you guys but the T29 is a purely awesome tank. That and the King Tiger have become my heavy hitters of choice, but the T29 is just a ton of fun to play. Go hull down and let people eat 105mm.

Panther needs a small buff of some sort, very frustrating tank to play, even in sniper role. I find even my worthless easy eight can fell them.

The problem with the Panther is that every time I'm hit by anything big or small I take module damage. In particular the engine or the tracks, and once the Panther loses it's mobility it quickly dies.

At the moment I'm using it like a TD, staying well behind a group of heavy tanks and retreating when anything bigger comes along. It's frustrating to say the least, especially when the repair costs are so high. The only thing good about the tank is the L/71.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Die Happy on 22-11-2010, 14:11:05
agreed the t29 in hull down position with the 105mm gun is just a beast. there are very little guns that can penetrate the sick frontal turret armor.
in contrast the hull armor is so weak even lower tier tanks often have no big problems penetrating the front not to mention the side or rear.

did anyone here upgrade the engines on the t29, i am reluctant to use ~36k XP for 2 engines upgrades which i total give 80hp more. and i can only use the engines for 1 more tank after the t-29.

is it worth the expense ?

depends how good (and fast) you are. Me and thorondor pwned 9 tanks under a minute with those things. One of them was PzIV with it's best gun and one was a KV.

Regarding the upcoming softwipe, not much is known. The only thing that is known is that it will happen when the clan system patch/eu servers gets released.

Also, any EXP you earned before the current softwipe (when the game was released) is saddly, lost.

So the EXP you earned now is what you can use.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 28-11-2010, 10:11:55
German Med's actually suck :p Best german stuff are the TD's and Heavys up to the Tiger II. VK45 isnt that good, and Maus is pretty useless since it gets stacked against IS7's and those beat the crap out of it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kradovech on 28-11-2010, 11:11:32
I personally found the vk3601 very enjoyable. Though thats basically a heavy tank with a medium symbol, I guess.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Grim on 28-11-2010, 11:11:42
You probably get more money then with the last soft-wipe, because unlike your xp your money of before the soft-wipe will in some way return. The money you had then, you bought your tanks with, will all be returned to cash.  ;D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 28-11-2010, 12:11:28
VK45 isnt that good,

No, the VK45 is by far the most awesome tank I have ever driven. It's ten times better than the King Tiger, and I will never ever drive a King Tiger for the lols again when I have this baby in my garage. And that's coming from a KT fanboy. :)

And the Panther is very nice aswell. German tanks just need a fitting usage and it may take some time to get used to them. But once you've mastered their playing style, they will rape the shit out of everything.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Bang0o on 28-11-2010, 13:11:45
the panther is only good when youre standing next to an more heavy tank an the enemys are shooting at him instead of you. :P
seriously, since the patch reomvoed the warping medium tanks ahve no advantages. everbody is able to hit them at any speed, at any range. so standing in cover behind a stone ( heavy tank palystyle) is better then driving around in the open with 47km/h, trying to "outflank the enenmy" and getting shot to hell by everbody. also the panthers sloped front armour is penetratable by ANY tank (except ms1 or loltraktor maybe).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 28-11-2010, 13:11:39
vk3601 is the best tank I've had IMHO. It's a tiger with a bit less hp and a better turret(as you can upgrade your 75 for an 88).

VK4502 is also ok, but you have to watch out for IS4 and jagdtiger (that's why I also have 3 preniums in stock on this tank)

Simply forget about panther, it's totally not worth it. It's not a tier 8 tank IMHO, it's more like a tier 6 or 7 tank. You're way better of by taking either the king tiger, using an upgraded PzIV or the VK3601.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 28-11-2010, 13:11:24
My VK45 can easily take on IS4s and Jagdtigers. Even Maus and IS7 aren't that much of a threat. You just need to know where to hit them. :)

Details for the soft wipe:
1) All current tanks/modules/ammo in your garage will be refunded for full value credits. (As per normal softwipes)
2) All exp earned since the softwipe and all the free experience from the last soft wipe will be also refunded. Current exp saved on Elite tanks will be converted to free experience at the soft wipe.
This means all exp spent including free exp from the soft wipe. If you spent it on tanks have it as free exp on the account or have exp on elite tanks you get all of that. (hope that clears it up)
3) All tank crews will be lost. They came they fought and now they get a well earned vacation and rotate off the front so we can break in some new recruits.
4) Garage slots, Barracks expansions, and Current premium account times will refunded (pro-rated for remaining time) These refunded items will be refunded as Gold to your account. (Gotta check on Premium tanks tho think they are refunded also)
5) Current Credits balance and Current Gold balance will be carried over with the refunded gold (premium garage slots ect) and credits (existing tanks/modules). Players will have both Gold and Credits on their account after the softwipe ready for spending.
6)No total exp reduction is planned for the soft wipe. (This tool has been used in the past, basically its a global percentage reduction of exp) This testing tool is not being used in this soft wipe.
7) No Planned bonus Gold. (Daily 150gold will continue)

./coff coff WikiP on 704

Quote
ISU-152 model 1945
One prototype, developed in 1945. It used elements of the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks. The overall height of the vehicle was reduced to 2240 mm, which was compensated with an increased width of the superstructure. The factory designation was Object 704 (Объект 704). It was armed with the 152.4 mm ML-20SM model 1944 (МЛ-20СМ обр. 1944 г.) gun-howitzer, with a barrel length of over 4.5 meters (29.6 calibers) and no muzzle brake, which further increased the firepower of the gun. It had a maximum range of 13,000 meters. The self-propelled gun carried 20 rounds of two piece (shell and charge) armor-piercing and high explosive ammunition. The armor-piercing round, weighing 48.78 kg, had a muzzle velocity of 655 m/s. The rate of fire was 1-2 round/min. ISU-152 model 1945 had four hatches at the superstructure roof and one emergency hatch at the bottom of the hull behind the driver's seat, which had an armored cover. The self-propelled gun carried two external fuel tanks (90 liters each), not connected to the supply system. The secondary armament of the fighting vehicle consisted of two 12.7 x 108 mm DShK machine guns, one anti-aircraft and one co-axial. The protection was increased by placing thicker armor at more radical angles. In the area of the gun, where the mantlet combined with the hull front behind it and the housing of the recoil mechanism, the armor thickness was 320 mm. ISU-152 model 1945 (ИСУ-152 обр. 1945 г.) (ISU-152 model 1945) was the best protected of all experimental or production Soviet self-propelled guns of the Second World War. However, the radical incline of the superstructure walls combined with the increased recoil of the gun, due to the lack of a muzzle brake, significantly complicated the work of the crew, and for this reason mainly wasn't adopted. Today the self-propelled gun is exhibited at the Kubinka Tank Museum.[5][6]

Exactly. You will be able to buy yourself gold for small money, like 1000 Gold for 5 Euros or so on ..
There will be events and stuff, where you can participate in a battle and earn yourself gold as a price. Clans will get gold through victories too, so there are enough ways to get gold even without paying any mones. And,  you can very well reach and maintain big tanks even without gold.

Actually the Panzer 4 is pretty good too as long as you dont put that silly turret with that even sillier gun on it. Stick with the stock turret and the long 75mm. Its a quite dominating tank in that setup. Fast, pretty well armored and the gun is more then decent.

Well actually the Vk36 has better armor than the Tiger. Which was awesome pre-wipe when the highest opponent was maybe a King Tiger. Dunno about how well it performes right now. I do know that they don't like 128mm. :)

Armor is 50 mm it's not decent it's bad. I used that tank pre-wipe it's more like over sized panzer III with worse armor and better gun. VK3601h is better choice, though with 3001h you can move to Panther tree.

wrong. If you go PzIV, take the smallturm + kwk 42 L70. The turret has more armour then any of you hull's + you get a HP increase + you can shoot at big guys

correct. VK3001 is rubbish. And you don't want a panther anyway, go for a KT. A panther is not much faster then a pzIV, and it has bad armour also. high tier medium tanks overall suck. The lower ones are better, specially because you can end up in low tier battles with them.

It seems to say on the WoT forum that it will have an 80 degree traverse not 360, probably for balance reasons.

Either way it still sounds like it's going to be another Hummel, which when it's finished precision sniping people half way across the map it will still be able to turn into the best tank destroyer in the game when things get up close and personal.

Yes, and people are whining because it wont have that 360 traverse.Where does it say it should have it? To me, it looks just like any other SPG where the gun traverses a bit and the gunners are stationed on the back beck of the vehicle.

Decided to get back into this at least over my winter break.

Was also discouraged to not see US tank destroyers yet.

As for the update, we'll just see how broken the top tier mediums are as matches would be flooded by mediums everywhere.

The arty spam will be worse, but I'm worrying more about the mid-tier arty than the big guns. Generally, the bigger the gun the longer it takes to reload. They might even not zero as quickly or be any more accurate, which just makes them bigger-hitting SU-14s.

Ah well. I'll just putt around in my M3 Lee (soon T1 hvy) and Easy 8 Sherman.

US td's are the next on the list to be added.

What has been planned=
-Tier 9 medium,5 new spgs,object 704 <<this is now
-US TD's and a few other vehicles<< This is next
-Rest of the Soviet and german tanks (aka E series, but e series COULD come sooner, as they already finished the E-series)

Post by: Cadyshack on 24-12-2010, 04:12:01
I don't know what's worse. The balance, or almost an entire Sherman team.

I was able to get 4 kills in my last M3 battle, and 5 kills before upgrading my turret/gun on my T1. With said gun, I can kill Tigers to the front if they're preoccupied.  :D

Just need the engines now. The M6 looks like a jolly good time with a 90mm gun.

Oh, and I like how they smoothed everything out. No more warping, and it's easier to keep something tracked with HE (as I did to an IS-3 with 75mm HE). There was none of this in the Russian Beta or early English Beta.

I say a job well done so far. Matchmaking still needs tweaking, but things are looking good. They really should think about releasing next year even if all the countries aren't done. The Beta stage seems to be dragging out too long.

Panzerjager goes well. The marder is ok, but the hetzer grind can be difficult

I advise you get 105mm howitzer for hetzer

After the hetzer its the stug. Then things get much better

Marder is not ok. It is the greatest tank destroyer ever and nothing less.

Truth about the hetzer, I mainly used free experience to get past it. It is possible they have modified the matchups since I played it though, maybe it is more enjoyable now.

If you're going for a medium or heavy tank I'd get the Soviet version first. The tier V tanks, which are probably the best money-makers, are decidedly better on the Soviet side, and once you get a T34 or KV it should be pretty fast getting enough credits to speed up the German tree.

107mm for the win

If you get KV3, equip this gun, stay off the 100 + 122mm

Yup me too. Nothing a restart won't easily fix though. But indeed more often than pre-patch.

What's also more common now is matches without arty. Which absolutely rock.  ;D

Screw arty, is too powerfull and accurate, i mean, Idontknowwho one shotted my Valentine, the shell fell directly on my Engine..

The best matches are those without arty, light tanks, with MS1, Traktors, T26s and a few PzII.. there are fun and Arty-free

Thats the misery you'll get atm

The tier 4 Scout tanks mostly get into higher tier matches

Once you get the T34, equip it asap with engines tracks and eventually the 57mm. Learn the ways of the T34(siben, musti and many more are good Jedi T34 masters) and things get really good

loved my little SU-85 with the badass 107mm gun

su-100 gets thrown into higher battles and only he 100m is usefull. still got some great rounds.

but nothing beats the fun you can have with a t-34 with the  57mm gun. friend and me both in one of these took out a vk4502 and a isu152 :D in total we fired over 120 shots with 100 hits shared between us. -> each gets 1,7k xp.

that gun might not have much damage but the accuracy and firing speed makes up for it, big time. if you can stay out of sight or not be the prime target and place your shots right you can take out even big tanks after 10 or so hits and with 1 shot every 2 seconds 10 hits are quite easily done in short time :D

Yes, i dont see many T34s tho, but i think the A-20 can be upgraded with a 76mm gun or something. its about 420 Exp, pretty cheap, and the gun itself is like 20k or something.

Its gonna take alot of time to get the T34. The tank itself is like 380k Credits and to research it, 13k exp. :/

Yeh, going from the A-20 to the T34 is a struggle. My way was to just rush straight into the enemy main with the A-20, get killed and only cash the scout points. There is no use to upgrade the gun on the A-20, it just sucks, no matter what you put on it. Just rush, get lots of scout points, die, and play with an other tank in the meantime ..

Should i upgrade the engine so i can rush faster?


For example, i had a round were most of my friendlies were Tigers, Tiger II, Panthers, a ISU something and i was the lightest tank, they all were like "Go scout light". I lasted about 10 seconds, as soon as i was in open field a bunch of Tigers and Hummels started to open fire on me, my team won the round anyways, and i got like 6k for it :/

my suggestion? get 76mm hide behind heavy tanks and spam HE at enemy
actually i whats the exp cost for 76mm gun?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 28-12-2010, 01:12:12
No idea, i already researched it and ready to buy, its needed for the T34 and i think it was like 400exp

I dont see how HE works. I bought some HE for the Valentine and i seen it didnt damaged the enemy tank alot. But im doing a shitload of Exp with the T26, along with the T2 Medium tank, BT2 (Fucking hate the speed of this tank, unrealistic and unbalanced), and PzII completly dominate Loltraktors, MS1 and Cunninghams. Dunno if a T2 gets to fight against Tier I tanks but yeah, T26+Upgraded Turret+ 47mm Gun pwns them all. Good Armor and speed, cant ask for more.


But im converting the Exp i get for the T26 into free Exp, i make around 350 Exp a battle and thats about 19 Gold.

Sometimes you cant penetrate an enemy tank to well with your canon because you bounce to much, or you simply cant penetrate it. In that case it is best to use high explosive, but only if you have a proper calibre (like 76mm at least, 105 is already great ) of not, then you better run for it :)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Ciupita on 28-12-2010, 01:12:01
BT2 (Fucking hate the speed of this tank, unrealistic and unbalanced)

It could do like 100km/h IRL on road..
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: siben on 28-12-2010, 02:12:34
But not with the tracks installed.
Max speed without tracks was between 105 and 112km/h
Max speed with tracks (like ingame) was between 62 and 65km/h
Practical speed was somewhere between 40 and 50km/h depending on terrain.
So, the speed is sort of correct.

EDIT: Pics for epicness.

Thats rite, you drive it like a friggin car.

There's a lot of camping in the game. I even camp in my Leopard for a while until the game gets thinned out some.

The problem is just that artillery is so powerful if you're detected and not in cover you're dead in a heartbeat.

The problem is just that artillery is so powerful if you're detected and not in cover you're dead in a heartbeat.

Arty has become useless with the last patch (I say this as an arty player). It's ridiculously difficult to hit anything with arty anymore, it's all about luck nowadays. The other day, I missed four shot in a row on an immobile King Tiger which filled 2/3 of the reticule. I used to get three kills a round, now I struggle to get even one. With huge inaccuracy and next to no splash damage arty is useless, might as well remove it from the game completely.

And arty doesn't cause camping, there's as much camping in non-arty games as there is in those with arty. It's the broken spotting system that encourages camping (the players' attitudes don't help either).

Sorry for the miniature wall of text, but I'm sick of people complaining about arty. Most of the time, also in previous versions, I get killed by enemy tanks (as happens to everyone else) and not arty. It's just part of human nature to only remember those "bad and unfair" deaths more.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Cadyshack on 28-12-2010, 09:12:12
Yeah, I heard about the accuracy decrease. I was expecting counterbattery fire in most games, but apparently it's uneconomical to try it without an actual spot on one.

Also @ Siben:

You can do the whole rush for scout exp thing, but if you actually want to help heavies in times of need, shadow them for a bit until they seem to wait and camp (try an guess if the enemy is in a similar position ahead), and go ahead and try to jet out there, run parallel to them with some jukes mixed in and try to jet to safety.

You might spot some things out for your guys to snipe at and with luck, you can survive. I agree that light tanks in big tank fights have little chance to do damage, so scouting is really the only way to go for them. It's a bit depressing in that respect. However, once you hit the T-34 with that chain gun 57mm, it gets lolzy.

OAN:
One thing I'm noticing much more is being spotted (even when stationary) and unable to see advancing enemies (sometimes TDs, sometimes not). It's usually a culprit of the bushes, but it's annoying when you take fire from 4+ tanks and arty almost right in front of you and all you can do is guess based on their tracers.

This is even with lower tier stuff (hetzers, PzIVs, etc.), so some of it is even without someone maxing camo and getting the camo net. It's getting a little crazy.

I take it you have a Hummel or GW Panther? Because Russian arties still rape my T9 tanks to shit every single bloody round. If the game kept records, you'd see that no less than 70% of the damage I receive is because of arty. I'm very good at using cover and hills etc so the enemy tanks can't hit me, but there is always some fagtillery around to lob a shell over the tallest mountain and land it on my tank (or missing it and still splash damaging away 500 hp).

I have SU-8 which has a really small splash radius. You have to do a direct hit to damage. Russian arty becomes a rape machine at SU-14 and S-51. For some reason their splash damage is still quite big (same with the top tier arty, object what-ever-it-is).

you are doing it wrong

you keep those little bugegrs to level up crew and gain credits
specially tier 2 TD are awesome since they can kill anything they meet in their low tiers with 1-3 hits and often can simply use He for full damage since the armor is so low the HE will fully penetrate. at least thats whats happening on panzerjäger I with 5CM gun. with fully trained crew this thing fires so damn fast and can kill everything with HE only except panzer  II and that H38 and the AT-1 but then you either fire some more HE or switch to AP.

had few of my best rounds with panzerjäger I.

The hummel is a lot worser, personnaly I prefered a lot my grille with the base gun than the other one, the radius of where the shell can drop become way too big and even if you aim good the shell can fall like 4meters left of a non moving maus..

I'd grind the Russian medium tree, T-54 is vastly overpowered.

T-34-85 won't be as agile as T-34 though so remember that (still much faster than KV), but it's much better at sniping and if you get the D10T you can hurt anything at least from flanks. HE damage is also fairly good took 9% off from IS-3 by shooting it's frontal armor.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 07-01-2011, 13:01:15
No but seriously you can't deny how OP the T-54 is really.

It has the sidearmor of 99mm frontal armor version (80mm) and top armor of 99mm version. Also the engine of T-62 that first appeared 1958 and gun from late version 99mm version that IIRC wasn't for T-54.

They should either make the 120 hull armor version with the real side armor values and real engine and mobility. Or the 99 hull armor version with 80mm side armor and with current upgrades.

Currently the tanks is some sort of hybrid, a tank that has never existed in any way. All the advantages of the whole T-55 family. I just hate how unrealistic that tank is. It can just ignore every lower tier tanks pretty easily because of its frontal armor and can play like a heavy. It's better armored than Tiger II, faster, smaller, damn good gun, the tank has no weakness. No other tank is as good as T-54 and has never been.

Also T-34-85 with D10T is better tank in my opinion than tier 6 German tanks, it can at least hurt high tier tanks.

But its so funny that every german loving person on WOT whines about the T54 and russian tanks OP.

But they dont say a single thing about the much stronger vehicles of germany on certain tiers

For example=
Tier 6+7 medium tanks=Germany wins
Tier 3-4 light tanks=Germany wins
Tier 3-5 SPG's=Germany wins

So where are soviet things noticably better?
Tier 9 Medium tank

Tier 9 Heavy tank

In pretty much all of the cases you mention the German tank in question is not very good, it's just the American and Soviet counterparts that are really bad. I mean who cares if the Luches is significantly better than the BT-7 and M3 Stuart(honestly I think the Stuart is the best), because most anything can still kill any of those tanks relatively easily.

Plus, a tank being overpowered in tie 9 is a lot worse than an OP'd tank in a lower tier, because a lower tier tank will get about half or more of its games in high tier battles, were it will get ripped apart regardless of how OP'd it is. Look at the Leopard, that tank is easily the best tier IV tank, yet because it rarely gets put in low tier battles it almost always goes down in 1-2 shots and can rarely hurt anything other than SPGs and TDs.

Still though, I think the T-54 gets too much attention. It could use a small nerf, combined with a buff to the other tier 9 mediums, but I still worry a lot more about running into a IS-4 than a T-54.

Currently with my Jagdtiger (elite) I have to say, that I only fear the T-54 from all Tier 8+ tanks. Everything else is no problem for me (hell, I even defeated a Maus with a head-on charge in 1-on-1 from 100% without taking damage).

Only that I like soviet tanks the most...

And I am few of those who play soviet tanks that do admit soviets are OP, even the spotting stats proved it already. Damn soviet Heavy tank can hide better than German TD, sure it ain't bias ::).

You have created you own "German tanks lover whine" picture to your self but it's the US tank users that whine the most and they have good reason for it, US tanks suck.

Soviet tanks users have no reason to whine as soviet tanks are much better than US and German tanks they are mostly trying to tell that their tanks suck so they wouldn't be nerfed. Germans are only good in early tiers.

This game is really soviet biased and I admit it as Russian tank player, the best tank in every category in high tiers is Russian XD. Also T-34-85 is better than German tier 6 mediums(though this is only in my opinion) and SU-8 is clearly better than the most inaccurate arty in game "Hummel" and same with the SU-26 it's much better than inaccurate Wespe. So German only have good light tanks and Americans have nothing good.

Soviet Artillery is also much better than German artillery in high tiers, try to hit something with GW Tiger jeez... Object 212 is just so much better. Same with TDs You can see Jagdtiger from mile away, you can actually spot it easier than an IS-4. The Object TD on the other hand has good camo, armor about the same and guns are balanced. So Russian TDs win in the end with vastly superior camo while other stuff is balanced. T-54 and IS-4... well those are not even worth talking.

And people who say T-54 isn't OP just can't play, I can do huge damage with T-44 and everyone penetrates me and my guns aren't that good, it's the speed and size and if your working with other T-44. Most T-54 players just rush and trust in their unrealistic armor, simply put they can't use medium tanks. To many medium players play their tanks like heavy tank, it is medium so play it like that.

tier 9 is a diffrent story

And IS-7 ain't huge vehicle?  ::) It hides better than JT, also ISU hides much better than Jagdpanther though it's bigger, IIRC even IS-7 hides better than Jadgpanther.

Also Tier 10 US tank (T30) is better than Maus IMO. IS-7 is of course the best as it can do anything and has the best armor frontal with no real weak spots and the impenetrable side armor because of tracks (you only track it). Maus though can be penetrated from the front by Tier 5 and it's slow as hell and has a crappy gun compared to IS-7. When the mudguards are fixed it might be bit better but the turret should also be fixed and the 75mm should be operational with the real rate of fire.

Well Theta, The ISU152 and Obyekt 704 aren't exactly microscopic are they, they are around the same size as JP. JP, Ferdi and JT have No Camo bonus AT ALL, whether it is in open or in forest it is the same whilst you ive encountered many times when you can't see a Russian TD 20ft away in a bush.
    Heck even the MAUS can hide better then the German TDs

Also, moving on to the lolmantlet of the KT, even if the armour of the mantlet itself is 100mm the turret behind it is still 180mm thick. Therefore the combined armour should be 280mm THICK. I dont care if a T28 can damage my gun, what pisses me off is that he can damage my HP which is total bullshit. Gun damage dont matter shit anyway in this game since all the guns have the same accuracy and the combat distances are short.

   Want proof? Ask Humbug how many times hes shot a Tank with the KV Trololol cannon more then 400m away. I can hit a target just aswell with a 0.4 122mm D25T at 400m as a 12.8cm Pak44 with 0.33 accuracy

Whilst I might be a bit predudiced against Russan Devs, I have played russian Games like IL2.
Ever played the La7 in that? That is easymode unlocked. Same as the IS4 and T54 in this game
Did Oleg ever patch the La7, no. Will Wargaming patch the IS4 and T54; well since they buffed it last patch, I dont think so too

I think I'll agree with bangoo on the russia bias, as so aptly put in another thread
Quote
drunk ass monkey russians devs

While I don't care much for the tanks, I find it weird that the T54 is a tank that has a configuration that would never have been possible. Its pretty OP within this patch.

Look at the IS7 now, the thing also wipes up the other T10s. I believe it was ZigZagJoe (?), one of our guys from FHA, who went into 3 practice battles with his Maus Vs. IS7 and lost 3 times, no matter how close he got to defeating the IS7, he always died no matter what.

Last tier arty is a grey area Rusky is a little more accurate, while german is a little more powerful.

Overall, if the T54 is that op, my french tanks from the 60s better wtfpwn everything. [/rant]

the game is soviet bias.

Theta don't even try to deny.

My VK eats your puny little E8 crap cuz it's a paper tank

So does the IS7-4

it's paper and nothing else.

so it's easy to make it OP cuz nobody can deny it was

now gtfo with germans are ok cuz they suck

German tanks PWN everything they encountered in WWII. IS, IS2, T34, T34/85, SU152, SU85, ISU152?, KV, KV3, S51, Sherman, E8, Lee, Stuart, Churchill (LOL) and so on and so on. What they DON'T kill or even penetrate is what DID NOT see the LIGHT OF DAY until 50ies!!!!

The IS3 is matched against the KT in this game, and it leans slightly in the IS3's advantage, due to the KTs BULLSHIT speed limit of 28

However I read somewhere that the Isrealis absolutely DESTROYED Egyptian IS3 and they tested captured IS3 and showed them to be heaps of junk

Eh, I assume Laffey is talking about the 6-Day War, which was primarily an Israeli offensive. Moreover, for what"full US and UK support" is worth, the Israeli's were still mostly fighting with modified WW2 era tanks and never had any direct military support from their allies.

However, I don't really agree that the IS-3 is overpowered in WoT. It's good, but so are all the other Tier 8 heavies.

So there are plenty of German people involved in developing FH2. The FH main page is hosted in Germany. So that makes FH2 German biased then?  ::)

People who scream bias make me laugh, particularly in relation to WoT. It's to tanks what Need for Speed is to cars.

If the game was a simulator all this complaining about historical innaccuracies would be justified. It's still a Beta. They are still experimenting with balance. Next patch could change everything.

I agree the T54 needs some work done but to say it's OP purely because it's Russian is getting a little silly.

Get a KV with KV-2 turret and the 152mm. Load that baby with HE and laugh your ass off as you do +20% easily to +T9 tanks.. Heck I kill rookie 4502 drivers with my KV. Derp their turret and gun and see them bouncing from you'r turret. Fun times.

The bloody gun does 20% or so damage to a Maus's side armor so it's really good T5 tank. No other T5 does that.

Hi told me that i should buy the 57mm ZiS4 for a high rate of fire and decent penetration. So far its doing a G R E A T job.

I managed to knock out 4 tanks in a battle with it (Yes, my record), the 4th tank was a T34 too, and a pain in the ass. It was 2v1, that T34 was the last enemy in the map, i was cappin. Earlier, a PzIII ambushed me with little succes, i accidentally enabled Auto Aim and got him, but my tank couldnt stop aiming at the dead tank. I mean, NEVER!. I seen a tank, enabled auto aim to see if i could aim back again and he aimed at the new target, when i lost visual contact, the fucker turned 180º to aim at the dead PzIII ! woot

I had to fight all the way to the Flag with Auto Aim, and it sucks, missed too many shots but i finally got the bastard. I had like 3% HP left..

IS3 is the weakest of all 3 tier 8 heavy tanks. The T32 has a better gun and better frontal hull+turret armor. The KT has slightly less turret armor, but giganticly more hull armor.

The T32 has good hull armor but epic turret armor

The KT has that the opposite=Good turret armor but epic hull armor

That 150mm sloped hull of KT is rock solid and nothing of tier 8 goes trough it reliably.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Laffey on 08-01-2011, 17:01:14
But on the KT, you lose a module or crew member every shot, litterally. And since the KT's slope actually equates to 185 ingame compared to 200+ IRL it is easy to penetrate it with the T9 guns unless you are really bad at aiming or the 30% factor is against you

US will have great advantage with their Tank Destroyers, since nearly all of them will feature turrets instead of hull mounted guns. That makes them much faster in action compared to the heavy TD where you have to move the whole tank to line up the gun.

And, i still cant wait for the GB tree. Sherman Firefly, Cromwell, Black Prince ... >:)

Correct. However, the cherrypicked stats for the vehicle do give the T-54 an advantage, like with many of the Russian vehicles. Ill wait and see how the new factions will be represented before I started flinging faeces everywhere  :P

The cherrypicked stats only apply to the T54.  The T54 might be op at the tier 9 level, but so are german medium tanks at tiers 6-7, the german SPG's at tiers 4-5, and the German light tanks.

Not to mention the much better KT compared to the IS3.

Its actually the truth master chief. The VK 3001P and VK 3002 DB have far better guns , armor and health then the other medium tanks. While only having slightly less speed as the disadvantage

The grille has a more accurate AND powerfull gun then the Su5 and Priest. While having somewhat the same speed and mobility

The hummel has together with the M41 the most accurate gun. It outbeats any of the tier 5 spgs in terms of gun traverse, speed, mobility and ammo amount.

The M41 has a slightly higher speed and the Su-8 has slightly more damaging gun.

People say the T-54 is OP because it has far more advantages then the other tier 9's?

Well then i consider those things also OP

Hello.

Anyways, What should i research first? Engine wouldnt hurt.. Yes?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Nerdsturm on 09-01-2011, 05:01:02
I'd probably rush to get the 107mm or 152mm as soon as possible(for which you'll need tracks and turret).

Normally engine is the first thing I go to, but the KV is going to be crazy slow regardless of engine, and the heavy guns that the KV-2 turret can mount will chew through those Tigers with ease. You should probably go for the 107mm first though, as it's much more versatile than the 152mm howitzer, which is only good at short ranges.
Title: Re: World of Tanks

Went for the Engine first. I dont think it adds HP but it reduced that "Catch fire" thingy.

KVs are my favorite targets in ISU, so huge, can't miss and always one shot kill. It's sorta like "oh KV" *turns ISU and fires* "ok back to business".

Best is when they are taking their time aiming their tiny 152mm and thinking that they would get one shot at me, what they don't seem to know is that after I have shot they won't have time to shoot anymore ;D.

Forget the 152, it's deadly up close, but the reload will keep you waiting until it is 2012. People know this too ;) Better keep those 5000xp for reaching 14k xp and the 107 mm. It's the better gun for the KV. I ignored the 122mm. Combined with the other upgrades the KV is still slow, but a nice earner.

This just in: the 105 marshmallow gun on the Pz4 is oodles of fun.

It's a mini-lol cannon on a faster, smaller tank! It's especially fun to see rushing light tanks and some lighter mediums get vaporized by the thing. I can pop Hetzers sometimes, too! Plus you can still damage bigger stuff (although not as much) without attracting as much attention.

...and it only takes 7-8 seconds to reload.

It has been a while since I've been a mid-tier German medium, yes.

Oh, so can stop saving up gold and just spend it all on converting to free xp so i can try some more tanks ? Nice. Personally i look forward to the hard wipe. I mean it will suck to lose everything, but it somehow got boring again to either p0wn away everything or get p0wned away by uber enemys :x

If your not satisfied with that..

Also there is no model ingame that went into production after 1946( IS7)

Also krupp steel was terrible *trollface (no really it was, im a welder and if i see what the germans used in there steel)

Anyway
Yesterday i rammed a 122mm shell in the rear armor of an IS4=ENGINE fire!
From 80% to 7%!

Today it happend again! A lovely IS4 came along, i trolled behind him, rammed another 122mm shell in his ass=ENGINE fire! WHOOOP whopwohopwhop

Most mediums have the same health as heavy tanks now, while only have a bit less armor
Heavies are easily spotted now and most medium tanks can attack them AND remain invisible.
Light tanks are extremly rare

Early war yes.
But later in the war, Russian steel was just as RHA as american and british and it was GERMAN steel wich was much worse then any other steel of any other country

So stuff should only be balanced in games with tier 10 tanks?

Mediums are okay for the most part, but light tanks do suck. When I get stuck in tier 7-9 games with my Leopard, what the hell am I supposed to be doing? Even if you can get them by themselves, any tier 6+ artillery is almost impossible to kill, so unless there's an odd Hummel you're stuck hoping for a lone ISU-152 to harass or just sticking to a group and hoping you can aid a bit in caping. Even in lower tier games(save very low tier games) they still can't stand up to most mediums.

I'm not sure I'd say artillery is overpowered, but it is awfully implemented. Even if half the shots at you miss, the half that hit you almost always track you, meaning if there's more than one arty gun in range you get to just sit there as they slowing widdle away your health or enemy tanks tear you to pieces. Aside from staying in cover, there's not a thing you can do to avoid artillery, so it also exacerbates the problem of half the players camping the entire match on some maps.

However, they haven't changed any of the major problems in this game besides warping, so they may as well just release it if they are more focused on adding new content than tweaking gameplay per feedback from the betatesters.

"bit" less armor is actually quite a lot (just compare thickness and shape of same tier heavy and medium)
Attacking and staying invisible just shows how broken is WOT spotting system
Rarity of Light tanks is caused by them being useless.
Remember what light tanks were supposed to do? Spot enemy tanks.
Since warping-removing patch its impossible thus light tanks are useless (same goes for other tanks that survivability relies on speed AKA medium tanks and incoming US TDs)
It could be fixed by slowing speed of shells , so you have to lead your target to actually hit it
Then we would need to improve arty (yes IM saying improve arty) because hen it would be literally impossible for them to hit)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: G.Drew on 11-01-2011, 18:01:12
and thus making one class much better while throwing another completely out the window. I guess unless they completely fix the spotting system this is about as balanced as its going to get.

HRRR HRRR balance?
The graph of invisibility for german and russian TD's

so even if its a Obyeckt  (Uncle Joe's least invisible TD) vs a JP (The germans least visible high tier TD) the Obyeckt is 3.5 times more camoflaged when both have camo net.
Obyeckt is still 2 times more camoflaged even if it hasnt got camo net

German SPG's are OP at tiers 4-5

Like that tier 2 tanks matter ::)

Also you can't be serious about that Hummel is better than SU-8 as thats a big lie, humel is so inaccurate and aiming time is pain. SU-8 on the other hand is more accurate, aims faster and better trajectory so it does more damage and can hit stuff behind buildings.

Also IS-3 can penetrate Tiger 2 armor with it's best gun and Tiger II has often problems unless IS-3 has angeled himself badly it's also faster i'd say IS-3 is even better because of the gun, speed and low profile though Tiger II is best tank Germans have.

And German mediums definitely ain't OP in tier 5 T-34-85 rapes VK3001h and VK3001p and IMO it's better than VK3601h if you play it right and don't use it like T-44 or T-34. VK3002DB is good though, but still not nearly as OP as T-54 or IS-4.

Now Soviet TDs are damn good with really good camouflage while Germans have none. Are faster and have BL-10. Soviet arty is so much better, they get really good guns in tier 6 already and Object is so much better than GW tiger with it's superior accuracy, aiming time, speed, stock of ammo and reload time.

Only clearly better German counterparts that I can think of are VK3002DB and some tier 1/2/3 tanks that can be grinded trough in hours.

As a soviet tank player who admits that soviets are better than US and German counterparts. BTW why are you only comparing only talking about German tanks, don't forget there are US tanks as well in this game that are also overshadowed by Soviet tanks. Seems like you are having some sort of war against German tanks?

US tanks are a fluke exept for T29 and T32

Also the hummel's accuracy is 0.41  the Su 8's is 0.55. The aiming time is also in favor of the hummel, and the hummel has the fastest speed, the best acceleration, the most gun traverse and the most ammo amount
This comes from an actuall hummel driver i can also start with it


Saying that all russian tanks are better is Bullshit. Sorry to say it

Feel free to discuss this with me on WOT
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Paavopesusieni on 11-01-2011, 21:01:26
Just to get the last word out  ;D

Well last time I used SU-8 it was much much more accurate mainly die the trajectory so the area where the shell can hit is smaller and also the aiming time was faster I didn't even need to wait for maximum accuracy.
SU-8 aiming time IS faster don't know what the stats say but they are bullshit as the aiming time of Hummel is something like in-game 16 seconds much much slower than my S-51. We all know that the paper stats aren't the real in-game values, try it.

Only good German tanks are in low tiers and those can be grinded in hours.

Thats all.

I think buying gold is a fairly good concept for them to make money. The gold is mostly spent on the premium accounts, meaning the people who pay for the game level up more quickly, but it doesn't give them an advantage in battles over people who are not paying  - their tanks will be the the same, only difference being that they have earned them faster.

The only screwup they have done with the gold is the premium ammo - firstly it potentially does give paying customers an advantage and secondly, there is no way anyone is going to pay for something like ammo, making it virtually useless. They just as well might remove it frome the game.

I think that ammo is more likely a concept to be used in CWs when capturing key factories etc.
So in those pubbie games, they are kind of useless but they'll be a wanted merchendise in CWs.

Don't believe the whiners on the forum. They suck.
I can easily make money on any tank including T9 and T10, with or without premium.

It depends on how much the gold is going to cost really... Is there any info on that?

It was meant to be about 2500 gold for 10 dollars. These are old values though, I don't know if they still apply. Or wether there will be a realistic course for euros.

Its been a few days since i played WoT.

Knowing that all my effort will be gone within days is just, frustrating. I just made it to the KV, and without the 107mm thingy whatever-the-fuck-it-is. Why bothering, getting tons of Exp and Money, for a tank/gun you will use just a few days?

Nothankssir.


Anyways, last thing i did was to buy the Hetzer and BT2 for the lulz, also Marder II, but  i must say baibai WoT :/, 'till release then.

Yes.

if your tank commander is 100% (plus bonus % to other crews) and you add the ventilation , your crew gets an additional 5%
Title: Re: World of Tanks

and what does it do ? like repair 5 percent faster or they get 5 percent more skill (like 115 ?) and how does it benefit me, apart from the loader perhaps ?

I see no real benefit here. better have a cameo net them this

I bought the T34 with 100% Crew and the tank almost beign Elite (Just a Radio left, but i was saving these Exp for the Su85 or T34-85).
I must say it pwns. The 57mm fires sooooooooooooooo fast, that with the 100% Gunner, like a sniper wow! and the speed, these KV and even KV3 suffer alot.

The only thing wrong with the Jagdtiger is it camoflage though


Now the only thing that WOT needs for a full release, has nothing to do with german or russian tanks=But more loving for the american tanks
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 17-01-2011, 12:01:20
Actually, I liked the JgdTiger as it is. I´m ok with the camouflage, as I learned to deal with it. The thing which pisses me of the most is the spotting system.
I´m ok with having tanks hidden in bushes, but as soon as they shot right infront of you towards you, you should be able to see them. My biggest advice is still to screw all this (in my eyes) bugged and unnecessary spottingsystem and go for manuel spotting. This will make players more happy, as they can clearly say, that it was their fault that they didn´t saw the tank which killed them, then having some not understandable maths behind it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 17-01-2011, 13:01:12
Look the jagdtiger was a huge tank. IRL they couldnt hide it aswel

But the Jagdtiger(and Object 704 and all the other TD) SHOULD just be able to spot heavy tanks much faster and further then heavy tanks can spot them.

The devs know this, because they to found this ridiculous
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 17-01-2011, 13:01:58
Yeah, as I said, I´m ok with the Jadgtiger is not able to hide at all, because for my playstyle I don´t care. But the overall system is just complete nonesense.

I would love if they would remove those silly red dots and outlines around enemy tanks. either you have visual on him or not. But this someone spots you and al of the sudden 10 other tanks start shooting at you trough endless rows of bushes is super retarded .. If they spot you and forward your location on the minimap okay, but now its like they gps-tag you for the whole team and everyone knows where every single mm of your tank is ..

like the Jagdpanther is that much bigger then the object 704. Making the JT and even Ferdi easier to spot is understandable, can even give arguments for balance wise to do it. But giving the Jagdpanther so few camo is just rediclous.

IF anyone was still wondering wether to get a Panther II or not, go for it. Just got this beast today and I love it even more than the Vk45 and IS4. Truly and epic piece of raping machine if you don't have too many expectations. Sure, it has trouble taking on T54s, but it's great to pretty much everything else. All I wanted was an upgraded Panther that can actually withstand some shells.
The Panther II is exactly that. It bounces a lot of shots frontally and has a big crapload of hitpoints.
And the 105 is awesome.

Credits and Gold is not a problem for me i have 7000 gold and 4 Mill. Credits after we got so mutch gold doing the holidays think it whas 500 pr day.

so curently this is what it looks like for me

M5 Stuat Fully upgradet, using it for getting XP to convet
T20 fully upgradet, using it for getting XP to convert
Hummel fully upgradet, Uising it for XP to convert

T23 fully upgradet got around 35K XP towards the 170K i need for the Pershing.
GW Panther fully upgradet got around 40K towards the 160K i need for the GW Tiger.

Can't say it can shine a candle to a T54....
It's just a bit better Panther, with a very good gun on it. Front armor is paperthin, unlikely to bounce. Side/rear are non-existant. Turret is okay.

It's decent alright, but not close to T54 in day to day combat experience. The kind of stuff I get away with in that thing...cannot do 50% of that in PantherII sadly.

As with the Panther, it requires an entirely different style than the T44/T54 series. Its meant to be in support of other tanks, to be able to quickly flank or reinforce areas and deliver a very hard punch while being able to take quite the beating itself.

It's this playing style that I love. After 500 matches in the one-man-army-IS4 and IS7 it's very nice to be in support again, helping other people out. I just love saving teammates and the Panther II with the 105 is very good at that. :)

@Sander93

Point is, what you describe is typical T54 behavior as well ; it just is capable of going one-man-army vs improbable odds too, and get out of it alive or victorious often. That last part I find missing of the PantherII.

I don't like to be confined to remote sniping duties, thats not what I like to use a medium for. This way, the PantherII is good in a 'T30 kind of way'. Not close up, not from the sides, not from behind, not when visible..best in a bush. Next to a StugIII  :P

Nah seriously, try the T54 and see what I mean :) The one thing the PantherII has going for it is it's superb gun with good penetration and alpha damage. The T54 gun is more of a melee weapon with higher ROF but lower pen ; perfect when you are circling your enemy.

Well like you say, the T54 needs to get up close. The Panther II is also very suitable for medium ranged combat because the 105 is very accurate while moving at full speed on low-med distances. I'll try out the T54 on Marmist's account soon but I doubt I'll lose my Panther II love.

Damn hardwipe coming tomorrow and damn arty.
Wait whut?
We got 5x XP and credits for last few days. Full wipe will come today night IIRC.
Where has it been said on the forums?
Damn none else has heard about it? Well then I must be wrong, sorry.

I was in few games where everyone said that full wipe will come in 1-2 days, might be just rumor then.

I wasnt gonna get it, since I expected it to be much less fun than king tiger. However, with this insane exp thing going on, I decided to grind through it and I have to say Im pleasently supprised. Its faster than king tiger, its hull MG isn't such an insane weakspot, thus letting to bounce even is7 rounds at times. Then again, I already had the best engined researched from the start.

What I can get over is the fact that the bloody turret is on the wrong end :P

Well i whas able to get the 166K XP togther yeasterday evening and i got the GW Tiger what can i say its freeking huge really i am almost out of space in my hangar ;-)

Besides that i only hade like 3 rounds with it and i still need the big gun what i can say though is, its a beast omg so far i have killed KV KV-s KV-3 and even a Tiger all of them in 1 shot.

Only thing is the slow fire rate, and if somone gets it get the camo net, faster reload, and not to forget faster aiming. the reducing damage dosent doo mutch good because if they have seen you they cant miss because of your size really.

GW-Tiger has slow fire rate aswell takes som getting use to aswell, were the GW-Panther is faster.

I kept my GW Panther because fully upgradet its also wery wery good, definitly better then the Hummel.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 20-01-2011, 09:01:21
Camo net is useless (according to those graphs). I'd personally go for the crew vent. Together with ramming this gives a +15% reload bonus and +25% aiming time with GLD.

Also Priest, note that the spall liner only works against HE explosions. It doesn't give you +15% overall armor protection. So putting this on any tank that is not on the top of the arty's kill list or a favorite HE target is quite a waste of credits.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Priestdk on 20-01-2011, 09:01:11
True but camo net seems to work for me i offen have enemy tanks drive right past me newer seeing me if im in a bush and dont move or shoot unlesh im sure i can kill them, if i dont use camo net like i dident in my hummel for the last 25 fights i used it for because i switched with somthing else they see me way faster and from further away and i usaly get killed from distance because every time i shoot i show up if there is a tank relativly close, even when im hiding in a bush.

The T54=Where the frak did you came from?
The GW tiger driver later said he had camonets


I went for the GW panther, and im really glad i did. The GW Panther is truly a marvolous accurate SPG. 100k till GW tiger tough  ;D

After that, im getting T23 and then pershing. And then im gonna take a break of WOT

T-54 is damn good really, I killed Ferdinand (from the front), Pershing, Tiger II and IS-3 ALONE all of them were 100%. Tiger II and IS-3 were together and Pershing and Ferdinand were together, I just bounced bounced and bounced off their rounds and used cover and speed.

After that I still had 460 HP left and IS-7 killed me with one shot but not before I shot him once in the ass.

(http://www.ds-graphixx.de/WOT/camo_ger_spg.jpg)

The camo net works a tiny bit but the unvisibility is still shit. The fact that the T54 didn't spot the GWT is due to the fucked up system, not the camo net. I will still advice other equipment over the net. If you get spotted in GWT you're dead anyway and getting that one shot off is not worth the investment at the cost of more usefull equipment.

Premium ammo is so awesome in T-54s D-54. IS-7 just dinged me while I penetrated his frontal armor and got him to 20% while I was still 50% then friendly Jagdtiger shot him. Also killed one IS-4 in the process from 50% while he bounced off me me all the time when I was fighting against IS-7.

yep hehe...scares the living hell out of everyone. I've shot for around 1500 gold worth of T54 ammo past 10 days. It's just wonderful to see a IS7 or IS4 ding your shots frontally, with confidence..ignoring you. And suddenly you see them go ????????? and beep-beep-beep retreat into safety as quickly as they can once the holes start appearing in their turrets  8)

Yep, but at the same time, how are you going to convert the global xp from the elite tanks? Tbh, id rather play a tank I enjoy using, rather than one I have to grind through to one I actually want (T-34-85 springs to mind, and was what I was hoping to skip past :P).

I suggest you play it like you would play with a tankdestroyer while attacking. Keep your front armor toward the enemy at all times and I do mean at all times, keep the turret turning potential for emergencies. Dont let tier 8+ mediums and heavys get on your sides, if there is danger of running into them, make sure you have enough friendlies next to you. And of course good use of cover is essential.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 20-01-2011, 21:01:51
And as with all T9/10 heavies, because their armor consists of weakpoints, rush the fucking sploiter. People panic, forget to carefully aim and will very likely hit a part that bounces. And it's so much fun to do. :D

IMO T-44 is one of the best tanks in-game, give it more health, better penetration and DPS and it's best Tier 9 medium (if T-54 is not count).

I loved T-44 had such and awesome games with it. Two T-44 can take out everything, everything! And arty will often miss you if you can drive. Most players just can't play Russian mediums correctly.

-Getting the spotting system worked (AKA fix the JT/Ferdi/JP its camo)

It's not the camo that's the problem imo, it's the fact that you can't see a tank in a bush 10 meters away, even when it's shooting at you. Not to mention tanks disappearing in the middle of an open field (200m away) when you got binocs with 500 view range. I'm fine with it that tanks can hide untill you're very close, but their cover should be blown instantly once they fire a shot.

In theory yes, but the way the balance system works right now it doesn't matter. Sometimes you spot a GWT from half the map away, sometimes you still have to drive into it to see it. Same goes for all tanks including the German TDs. Humbug's Object also gets spotted by everything anywhere all the bloody time. No matter where I hide or how good the crew is at camoflage.

The Main problem in this game is US tanks that are far away under Germans and Russians tanks. After that, probably that spotting and camouflage system(who likes to be killed by the invisible tank ?). An other thing is that each country need to have some advantages and some disadvantages. If each (for example all tier 10 tanks) have the same stats, the only difference will be the look of the tank and the country.


Maybe something that looks like this could be interresting(it's an example) : 

Tier 10 tank

IS-7 = mobility
Maus = armor
T30 = firepower

Don't know if you understand, but this game need some variety in the gameplay of each tanks of country.

I got to know many people during intense battles. On Platoons, TS3, tank companies and such. I truly dint had such a good online gaming experience since a long time, the only time i ever got it, was during playing FH2.

I 2nd that.

Not that it bothers me though. The T34 was already my favorite tank.  :)

You will lose some hair with the A-20, since that thing us the worst crap tank ever built, but after that, the T-34 will make up to everything :) One of the best tanks out there. Oh and be sure to research the SU85 once you got the T-34 too. That thing is just as epic :>

Nope I heard there is two accounts. So there Is a Euro and US account so you need to download 2 clients.
Also if you choose Euro and play that for a week the US one will still be at the stage of a week ago or something

Basically both accounts start at the status they were just before the split

They said they will block the second account at some point around now. So if you are on US server now, in a few days (or maybe already) you cannot switch back. In the far future there will be a merge of all servers again, and/or option to switch accounts - but that is something in the line of many many months, not weeks.

WOW last night's round was epic. I went through the middle at Lakeside assisted by an M6, came to their flag and there were 2 Tigers defending. They were shooting at my T29 and all the shots were bouncing. So that just made me mad. I started rolling towards them and BOTH Tigers started backing-up. I killed one of them and the other got killed by the cavalry coming from the city.

Man it was an epic moment. I never had a Tiger back-up on me. AND that when he shoots his shots bounce  ;D   Hello, Steel Wall.  8)

I have started playing it recently... Nice game, but at the beginning you need to get used to that you will simply suck...  ::) Why do I have to play always against better tanks? When I was playing Leichttraktor I had to play against Panzer III. Now I have Panzer III A and I have to play against Panzer IV and KV-2. Once guy had KV-2 (version with this long barrel) and he got 11 kills for a round! I WANT TO PLAY AGAINST LEICHTTRAKTOREN!  ;D

Does FH2 community has own TS channel for World of Tanks??  :P

Edit: Pity, that this game is pro campers. And I should have chosen Arty tree - it is simply overpowerd in this game - in 80% I'm shot by arty...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 17-02-2011, 10:02:42
There is a FH Channel, yeah. Search for "Forgotten Hope Community"

Oh and, yeh well, you cant be top dog all the time, there is always someone better than you. Otherwise it would get boring if you could p0wn everything all the time.

Anyways, if you choose your enemys wisely and try avoid stronger enemys than you are, you can be pretty effective. And yeh, in lower tiers people tend to camp a lot, since most dont know the right tactics yet. In medium tiers, games are awesome !, and i higher tiers people start to camp again, since they are afraid of losing a big tank having to play the 20-30k repair bill. Anyways, i own more Tier 5 tanks then all other tiers combined. I could have the top tanks everywhere if i wanted, but T5 is THE most fun to play. Get one of the super tanks like the T-35/57, SU85, Sherman 105 or the Panzer 4 75mm (not that stuid 10,5 with the Schmalturm)

with those tanks you will get into low tier games most of the times, and you can pretty much p0wn everything. I rarely get out of a battle with those tanks with less then 4-5 kills :)

Its not really that you have to play on the server closest to your country. We europeans played on the NA server for 4 months. And really, tbh, i dint noticed much change when we went from NA server to EU server

On NA server we had 130 ping, on EU server we have 30.

you can always make a second account on the EU server if you wanna play with us, or if you wanna join FHA, the FH clan of WOT. We gladly help you grinding on your account to get you up to speed.

Well no point in asking for a teamspeak SERVER, if he's not even in the FH channel to make platoons to form on the TS server ;)

That is usually how it goes : People hang out in-game, ask if anybody is up for a platoon, form one and then move to teamspeak to play, picking one of the channels.

You can also try idling on TS and stalking some random dude, bangoo is doing the same usually  ;D

I didn't get the double exp. for first battle of the day, and yeah I was with a guy in a KV-3, like a dragoon team, we were supporting each other, it often arrives that the KV-3 shooted the first shot and then 1 second later my gun was reloaded, so yeah thats why I get the Reaper trophy. A lot of the tanks I've killed (T6,T7 medium/heavy) need about 3-4 shots and in this 3-4 shots I always get 2-3 shots on it. On my 7 kills, only 2-3 of them I've killed all by myself, others by help of the KV-3 and others.

If you want to know why the French have such a bad reputation in Spain, Holland, Belgium, Germany and England. THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.

After a decade of dealing with them, I'd say the most annoying part is that they ALWAYS make a problem out of the spoken French of foreigners. If it's not perfectly-perfect, they pretend they do not understand it, ignore you or point out some itsy bitsy grammar mistake.

Let's just say that France is the only country in the world where I cannot communicate properly, because nobody speaks English, nobody speaks Dutch, nobody speaks German, and very few Speak some Spanish. I speak all of them, but usually end up having to use my hands to make any point - From Normandy to Toulon.

I've met two English teachers so far in France, and both of them spoke so horribly English I could not properly understand them most of the time.....lol ?

Other than that, I used hands. Except for a small Crepe place in Rennes I think it was, where the kind monsieur very happily served me and my classmates some delicious Crepes. Even gave my friend a free one because she had no moneyz with her. And I saw some nice french women.

What's going on with tank destroyers so far?!

I eagerly jumped into my AT1 and Panzerjäger I expecting to face waves of MS1s and leichttraktors like in the closed beta but all I have faced is Panzer 3s, A32s and the like.

Have they changed the TD match tiering or something? Even the fond memories of the Marder 2 I used to have are being wiped away by facing KV-3s and those evil Pz V-IV.

I know it's been a long time since I was back at this tier but I never remember being the least powerfully ranked tank in-game whilst in a tank destroyer.

I'm dreading the Stug grind.......

I don't ever remember tier 1 tanks ending up with tier 2 TDs and SPGs without platoons being involved.  Mind you, as far as I know, they changed the battle tier system several months before I started playing.

Anyway, it's hard seeing that gold counter in the corner of the screen and knowing that it won't be getting filled up without the opening of wallets.

Post by: Kradovech on 25-04-2011, 19:04:01
Tier 1 and 2 are extremely fun to play, 3 not that much. Tier 4 is generally extremely awful because of the matchups, and then tier 5 is awesome again. Up from that the fun level  stays at a reasonable level. thats how I see it at least.

Post by: Die Happy on 27-04-2011, 16:04:18
finally got my T-35 and fitted that lovely 57mm gun on it, now only add tracks and the big radio and one of my goals is reached.

also got the M2 medium fully upgraded and now only need camo net + periscope and maybe loading rammer.

i dont aim at those big ass high tier tanks, i mostly like the "medium tier tanks" it usually is more "fun" to play with these compared the very high tier games where everyone is camping like hell and rounds take 15 minutes to end in a draw.

my goals are
T-34 fully upgraded with bonus modules
M2 medium fully upgraded with bonus modules
SU-85 with upgrade modules
some higher tier german TD, right now i am at the hetzer almost at stug.
maybe some higher tier russian TD but not sure. depends on how much money i can make out of battles.

and in the end maybe some higher tier american medium like T-23 or maybe even pershing. but for now i just need a little more XP for the stug & the su-85. and maybe soon we will get french tanks and american TD or maybe even the open topped german TD like dicker max, etc.

at least for now i wont spend any real money on the game, for 10€ per month for a premium account i dont like what i get in return. later i might buy some gold to expand my garage to get more tanks or maybe even buy premium but only if they expand the content of the game. in the state as it is now, i dont see the point in spending money on it.

This is what happened to me. Even when I could permanently keep a premium account and transfer xp easily I always got stuck around tier 7 because of how ridiculously long it took to get the highest tier tanks. Even if I had time to play it, playing with the same couple of tanks that many times just loses all entertainment value.

not sure if true is true but i hear that the Loewe (schwerer /heavy) (http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-vii-lowe.htm) is going to cost like 40€ worth of gold. it might be a tier VIII (or VII) heavy tank but still so much money for 1 premium tank. thats just ridiculous.

i will continue playing this with my tier V tanks and maybe something will change over time,
i mean they got american TD, german open topped TD and the whole french tree in the pipeline. also british tank will come some time and italian + japanese tanks are rumored about for quite some time.

so there is a lot of stuff to look forward too. the clan battles etc all seem quite fun on paper. lets hope they make it good.

i believe you are wrong, this is a mmo game, development will never finish, just like any good mmo game. they could have just as easily did Germans and Russians and called it a finished game, because you can consider those nations finished at this point, they have almost all main tanks, or do you consider "insert any popular shooter game here" just a hardwiped beta because they failed to get me a scoped sterling SMG, i mean seriously, can you call a game finished without a sterling?

True, this is a mmo and I think they will come through, but I'm not so sure as a few months ago. Comments about new game modes are rare now. Most pre- and reviews are only describing what we've been playing for over a year now. I was going to reward them, it's still a great concept and nicely made, but as soon as I discovered it was only a hardwipe for now, I closed my wallet.

If we'd only been playing this since April, it would be a wonderful 'release'. But since the majority of people are old betatesters and way past the diaper kids that cannot even spell FPS, there's no denying that it's just a hardwipe at the moment, with fewer platoons because people are waiting if there's something coming.

After watching Simon and Lewis for some time, I can safely say one thing:
I am going to kill Simon. His incompetence cannot be tolerated.

Anyway, seems alot of nerfs and buffs are being handed out, but not alot of balance. Tier 8 arty, after spending in the region of about 400000 experience to get it, will probably be garbage because:

They have a ROF of about a round a minute.
They do massive damage, but very inaccurate, so they be lucky if the shell lands even in the right region.
'New' spotting mechanics mean your pretty fucked as soon as you enter the game.

So, if I thought I wasnt going to continue down the ami arty tree despite the major nerfs in what was once thought to be the only good branch in that tree, im definitely not now.

And yet it seems to be worth its money... It has a good gun and armor so it can stand up to other T8s and top tier stuff, and the best of all (Might be a glitch though): it earns TONS of money and xp.

Might buy it if it actually earns that much. The armor though seems to be made out of poo as 100 mm D10T and 122mm can penetrate it frontally. 186 mm effective front ain't too much.

Bought Löwe, one word: awesome. I love that thing, it even bounces at times from the huge mantlet and the gun has really good accuracy and penetration. The thing even gets to "low" tier battles most of the time, not to mention the earnings per match.

Yep. Both KV5 and Lowe end in alot of T8 battles

The Lowes frontal armor is good vs T8's if you can position yourself around a corner. Against T7 the armor is very good

The KV5 has more endurance, but also a lesser gun

Against OWN tiers and below the KV5 is better. But lowe is top notch against same tiers AND above.
IS4 and T54 Frontally? BAM

Both are EXTREMELY good at gathering money

Na, 35(t) leads to the 38(t), which you can buy for credits.  The tanks you buy for gold do not sit on the tech trees and have no bearing on tree advancement.  By '38HT' I assume you mean the Hotchkiss.

I also bought a Ram II with my last credits, it's pretty cool but what do I do with all the XP? I wish I could use it on my other tank  Or is this just for credit farming?

Haven't played it for over 9 months and re-installed it last month, game definitely improved. I'm thoroughly enjoying the American tree.

It pretty much is, unless you want to spend gold (real money), to convert it to free experience you can use on any tank. If  you dont intend to convert it, I suggest you turn on the faster crew training instead, so you can get a killer crew. But yes, The Ram II was a very fun tank indeed. I dunno about the American tree in general though :P

The way I personally see it right now:
playing russian tanks= playing on easy - not that challenging, but can still be quite fun.
playing german tanks= playing on normal - A nice mix of fun and challenge.
Playing US tanks= playing on hard - painfully difficult, way too frustrating to enjoy.

The recent patch has made the King Tiger a force to be reckoned with, which has made me happy. There is that, and the Löwe which is quite awesome. The Löwe literally prints in-game credits, and it is very similar to the King Tiger, with its own laser cannon. If you have more money than sense get a Löwe and profit.

I am kind of in a strange place because I have a bunch of tier 7 and 8s, when all I need is a tier 9 for clan play. I have spent so much time diversifying my lines; I have upgraded ISU, King Tiger, and now IS3. That and a bunch of tier 7 mediums. vOv

Also the T23->Pershing patch cannot come fast enough. I have almost given up grinding my T20 in anticipation of having the Pershing at tier 8.

From what I witnessed, server maintenance is scheduled almost daily between 7 AM and 7.30 AM.

However, the lack of infantry bugs me. The tank hunters are degraded to simple scout vehicles without infantry, scout tanks and observation tanks. It just feels so plain wrong.

But implementing infantry would be difficult. The game engine is very scaleable and probably not able to display infantry properly on a Pentium 4 2Ghz. This would require animations, and the crew isn't even displayed or animated on arti and hunting tanks.

Addictive game nevertheless, but leaves me with mixed feelings.

Tank hunters as scout vehicles?! Tank hunters or Tank Destroyers in World of Tanks are usually played as Snipers/Support/Ambushers depending on their stats. For example something like the ISU-152 is best played as an ambush tank at places such as chokepoints. Meanwhile something like the Jagdpanther is a solid support vehicle for a team's push. None of the TD's make particularly great scout vehicles, with their gimped view range, I am not sure how you would come to that conclusion at all.

Just had an unbelievable kill.

I was driving in Dnarag's T29, advancing towards their base with a few bush up ahead.
A tank gets spotted 400m behind me so I lock the turret and move my mouse around to check out if I could hit that tank... Well I got this new mouse and it's so sensitive I accidentally hit LMB all the time and I did that once more. Three seconds later...

'Wir haben sie vol erwischt!' (we got 'em!)  - lolwut??

Turns out I accidentally hit a KV that was standing in those bush, and set it on fire.  :o

I'm speaking of tank-hunters or hunter-tanks, like a Panther. I'm not speaking about tank destroyers like the ISU-152. However, the english language doesn't really distinguish between those two types.

The Panther was designed to hunt tanks while still having a turret. Some kind of a hybrid between a main battle tank and a tank destroyer. It is not a real main battle tank like a Tiger. The side armor is too weak.

However, that class of german hybrid tanks is being used for scouting in WoT. I don't like that. Actually you would use scout tanks like the PII Luchs or the Puma. And usually, it would be infantry reporting enemy tanks.

But heck, WoT isn't historically accurate anyway. IMHO they should not have taken WWII tanks but battle mechs for their revenue model. Nobody would ever complain about a light mech being used for scouting. But using a Pz 38 for scouting is a bad joke.

Edit:// Well, at least I had to return to the VK3601 in order to develope the VK3002 now. And I love this Vk3601. You don't need any skill, because the tank is a killer by default.

Some people prefer 152 over the 107, some don't. It depends a lot on your playstyle. The 152 packs a major punch, but is very inaccurate and takes ages to reload, especially with a destroyed ammo rack. However, king tigers will think twice before coming around the corner and taaking a hit from that thing.

On the other side, the 107 is quite OP for this tank and is definitely easier to do good with. So in answer, the 152 is definitely worth buying to play with every now and then, but if you want to get it before or after researching the 107 is up to you.

And please people, for the love of god, don't mount the kv2 turret before you have either of the big guns. I spot more and more people on the servers with this setup. You are much easier to hit and penetrate and you look silly! Though I'd assume none of FH2 people would make this mistake...

107 is the overall best. 152 is good for trolling on tier 8+ (with gold shells, I think you need about 5 shots to kill maus)

lolwut. The P is the worst POS german tank after pzIIIa and PzIII.

lol, totally wrong. Tiger P is the second best tier 7 tank, right after T29.(200mm armour FTW) Besides that the 3001(p) is the MOST horrible tank in game. If he already endured the pain of the 3001(p), he should go for tiger (p) anyway

Sometimes I wish I could change my tank's setup, after seeing what matchup I'm getting. The 152 is massive overkill in tier 5 battles: can't kill the enemy twice :P. And this could be useful many of my other tanks as well.

Is it worth getting the Derp Gun for KV? I sorta want it to try it out. Pic related

I had the 152 before the 107. The punch of the 152 is really great, but you get problems penetrating the armor of the high tier tanks. If you increase penetration by buying ammo for gold you'll probably get a very handsome tank, despite the long reload.

However I'm not happy with the 107 either. With the 107 you get a support tank for the heavy tanks, but accuracy on distance isnt very great and the reload is slow as well. In the end the KV is really overrated.

Kv is the only tier 5 tank that can do serious damage to tier 8 tanks. IT can virtually one shot every other tier 5 tank with one shot.Aiming circle does take tong to become small, but considering the gun it carries that's really forgiveable.

Also it has decent armour, protecting it from every lower tier tank except marder.

Kv is best tier 5 by far

Right now I am rolling around in my slow, piece of dogshait Tigertank with the short 88 with the disappearing shells and get pounded by VK3601's. Can't wait to get the long 88, better motor and some better optics, so I can actually "snipe" someone. Have anyone ever bounced any shells with their tigers ever? I'm so jelly of the soviet sloped armor, but I will NEVER play the soviets. Never! Rather dead than red.

I get eaten all the time. I got a very bad win-loss ratio on the KV. My first shot is always a miss or bounce, aiming circle takes forever to center. Usually some IS comes around the corner, my shots bounce, it takes forever to reload, meanwhile the IS kills me with 2 shots while I reload. Useless to search for cover, especially as the KV accelerates like a snail. Even If I move, it gets me back to the start, as my next shot will be a miss or bounce, If I'm not dead by then.

But maybe it is me. I got similar problems on the Tiger now. Seems like I got no clue how to handle heavy tanks.

Btw a german 'sniper' tank should be always equipped with coated optics. Grants you the first shot. If you hit the tracks and make him stuck on the spot, the better.

Just before they launch a new test patch they will copy all of the account information of the normal server and copy it to the test one. So you'll have an exact copy of your original account. Progressed date will be reset after the test server closes again.

However, the xp and credit gains are multiplied by 10, and you get 10.000 gold so it's a very, very good way of testing out new tanks or tanks you were thinking about getting. The x10 means you'll have a T6-7 in one day, and a T10 in about 2-3 days. (about 50 matches to get from T1 to T10)

They work but you only tend to see noticeable effects on maps like Malinovka with large open plains. I have coated optics on my Lowe and I get accused of hacking all the time, since I can spot tanks in the other base.

Coated optics are good on tanks where you move often and want a spotting bonus. I use them on my Patton, because in clan wars it makes an excellent scout tank. My Lowe story is another example of sniping. Telescopes are better on more stationary vehicles like TDs. I have a pair on my 704, T95, and Jagdpanther, so when I am defending I have a greater chance of seeing something come up on me.

Thanks for the replies. You know, the KV got a view range of 350 and with coated optics you get to 385. But 385 is still horrible. The shoot me, then I am stuck with destroyed tracks, still I don't see where the shot came from. Thus my attempt with the binocular telescope.

Edit:// I'm a rusher. No matter what tank. After 5 minutes the battle is either won or I am dead ;)

If you are a rusher and you play aggressively, binoculars are not particularly useful. Optics can be a little bit more useful in certain instances, but personally I think these are not the best choices. Rammer, vents, and GLD would be more practical if you really want to fully upgrade the KV.

I need help, once again. :P

I'm pondering which tank I should grind for the Panther. I could do it on the VK3001(H) or the VK3002(DB). The VK3002 got better armor, but the best gun available for both is the tier VII 8.8 L56. Accordingly I'd prefer the L56 on the VK3001(H), as it is 1 tier below.

So, which tank is more fun? Is the sloped armor on the VK3002(DB) a big advantage? I guess they can be both considered scouts. However, I think the Panther on tier VII is a better scout than the VK3002(DB) anyway. Thus I would not have any need for the VK3002(DB) later. Any thoughts?

I have driven both in beta, and I prefered by far the Vk3002(H) because it was fast with a descent gun, enough precise to snipe, and enough fast to circle. A verry interresting vehicle. With the VK3002(DB) I performed well but I never really enjoyed it, and you are still stuck with the 8.8L56 that is a great gun, but a bit weak for a T7 tank. And the Armor is not as impressive as people say IMO.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: PanzerKnacker on 04-10-2011, 10:10:43
VK3001H was much more fun to drive for me. Once it got a nice setup it was capable of dealing nice damage.

What I did was, mounted the Schmalturm on it, the best engine/tracks/radio, and put the 105mm on it. It really does good drive-by HE spamming ;D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: LHeureux on 04-10-2011, 11:10:00
3001(H) is a cavalry tank, not really a good damage eater, good for flaking and doing other things like capping or circling.

3002(DB) is really good against lower tier tanks and yes the slopped armor makes a difference. Once you equip the 88mm on it it can deal good amount of damage and still eat good damage without dying in 3 shots.

3001(P) is my favorite of all, that's a really good sniper tank to help the attack.

Never played with the 3601(H)

Get used to that because all German higher tier mediums have that.
The devs appear to have misunderstood ammo storage in a German tank's hull sides for the actual ammo racks. So any hit to the side of the upper hull will very likely cause ammo rack damage.

Judging from the player counts it might be.

With the lack of players at 5 o clock in the morning you get quiet different battles. I grind especially heavy tanks at night, you get rather fair battles. I do artillery especially on daytime and weekends as many regulars bring heavy tanks at that time. A single low tier arti with lots of heavy tanks in both teams is profit then. On the other side I cannot recommend to grind arti on a weekday night. You often end up with low tier tanks moving to fast to be hit.

My biggest problem so far is the KV. Maybe that was a good tank 1 year ago. But nowadays you end up with tier 9 tanks being a scout. Made the best expiriences when treating the KV like a tank destroyer: Just camping behind the lines, hopefully not to be detected.

I just achieved a new personal best - 2341 exp from a battle (Not doubled), with, wait for it, vk2801. The tier 5 light tank went against tier 7 heavies, and came out with 5 kills, some assists, and a ton of spotting points. The round can be discribed in one sentence, or a song if you will: "Trololololollolololoo, trololololoo, trololololoo,trololololoo!"

The point of this post? GET THIS TANK. Forget everything else. I'm having loads and loads of fun with this, no matter if I fight with tier 7's or tier 10's. The 105 howitzer is amazing as everyone should know by now, and you don't really need armor, when they can't hit you. This tank is butt-ugly, but I hardly notice this over how much damage it keeps inflicting on the enemy team.

For once I had a nice little scout tank, it was a 38NA, only to be beaten by the leopard in handling and manoeuvrebility. I was the king of kings, whizzing between the high tier tanks like mad.

Then came the update. Now I'm scarred, being hunted, being toyed with. Getting eaten by tier 5 scouts for breakfast. Not no mention the nasty type 59. From my observations, the type 59 causes the same disintegration in a team like the sighting of the tiger in WWII. Everybody panics, runs for the hills, dies. Pure slaughter.

Then you have the IS-3. It's like an (IS-2)² Faster, bounce almost everything and a trolololol gun. a bit OP(we all know devs are russians...)

I guess that depends on the tier. What tier are you? I can't really imagine a tier 9 tank to be excited about a Type 59 circling all around you. The Type 59 is moving so fast, you really can't aim at it as it got the manoeuvrebility of a scout. And as it is a medium tank, all heavy tanks do not care until the Type 59 took out all lighter vehicles. I mean, take a glimpse at it from my viewpoint:

- what is the best way to make money and experience?

- and how do i skip tanks ... sure i found out you do that with free experience. but it takes like forever to get a reasonable amount of it.

1. If it becomes a big problem, use the 105mm short.

2. Kill. Also, using low tier elite status tanks are a nice way of getting some income, but that requires gold.

3. See above. There is no quick way to get global xp without using gold. Thats how Wargaming makes their money.

But if you do get gold you should be putting most of it into premium. x1.5 xp and credits every game.
Title: Re: World of Tanks

- im trying to get a jagdpanther, but im actually stuck with the hetzer.

You should develop equipment like radios, engines and guns on the main battle tanks of each faction. The main battle tank on a tier is the tank with the highest armor and penetration values. These will give you the most money/XP, which you will need to buy good crew and equipment.

For the germans the best tanks in the tiers are these:

I: Leichtraktor.
II: Pz 35t
III: PzKpfw II Luchs
IV: Pz III
V: Pz IV
VI: Vk3600(H)
VII: PzKpfw VI Tiger
VIII: PzKpfw VIB Kingtiger
IX: E-75 (estimated)

If you want a Jagdpather, it will be very hard to develop all the stuff on the tank destroyers only.

the problem i have atm is that i am getting matched vs Tigers, KV-3, T-29 and all kinds of tanks 3 or 4 tiers above me. although i have the upgunned 75mm i struggle to damage anything, even the sides are seldomly penetrated and HE shells dont do much damage. on the contrary i get 1 or 2 shot-killed. what am i supposed to do? already got the engine and tracks and even acamo net and my crew is on 66%.

You've reached tier IV. Tier IV teaches you scouting, if you haven't learned by then. When you are at the  bottom of a team with a tier IV tank, you are scout. Driving a Hetzer, this gives you only a couple of options:

- camp behind the heavy tanks and try to kill the enemy scouts.

- scouting. start the simple way, just drive straight into enemy base and try to survive as long as possible. Concentrate on driving, don't stop to shoot, but go zigzag to avoid the enemy shots.

- try the 105mm and go on kamikaze. The 105mm might be valuable for scouting as well.

The problem on the Hetzer is, that you expect it to be a fully functional tank destroyer. I expected that, too. But with the Hetzer you cannot camp in a corner of a map and snipe enemies from distance. The gun on the Hetzer is weak, especially on distance. Therefore it got superior 60mm front armor. The Hetzer just got the advantage of higher front armor at the disadvantage of a weak gun.
The next tank, the StugIII will be a typical tankdestroyer. Only 50mm front armor, but you can penetrate enemies on long distance. With the StugIII you can camp in the back.

Suggestion: rush the Hetzer by all means and concentrate on the StugIII.

You also need a better crew. You cannot change that anymore now, but when you buy the Stug, make the crew at least 75%. All of them. You should also test the effects of a 75% commander with 50% crew on a tier IV tank.

- what is the best way to make money and experience?

- equip the StugIII with a good crew.
- scout with 38nA
- Grind Pz IV with 75% crew.
- If you're really short of money while on low tiers try the Wespe artillery.

- and how do i skip tanks ... sure i found out you do that with free experience. but it takes like forever to get a reasonable amount of it.

You can skip tanks that make no money or are hard to play. Like tier II arti, or a tier II tankdestroyer. You could use the free expirience on the Hetzer. But in general it is not wise to skip tanks, especially on high tiers. Save some of your free expirience and use it to upgrade newly bought tanks with a better gun, so you don't have to drive the stock variant.

And this is the PzIV Hydro, which is going to be a new premium tank that will be held out on special events.
I didn't have one decent round in it but it's quite agile and silly looking and that gives it this fun factor.

Piss blood? I don't what you are talking about. The KV with the 105 was one of the best tanks I played, getting the s51 was very fun for me. The KV, if the highest tier, rapes everything at range, and can still do damage to tier 8 if there is need. Then again, I didn't play enough with it to get tired of its slow speed - it took me  a few months to get the s51.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer) on 20-11-2011, 18:11:36
The grind isn't bad but I wanted to have it elite so that meant researching KV3, KV-1S and S-51 so that took a lot of time. The tank is fun to play but it got a little bit difficoult to see the same tank over and over again although the massive damage output on the 152 kept my moral at a decent level :D

Bump.

Saw that WoT thread had 200 pages, decided to try it, noticed that my PC can't run it..

Then decided "Fock it, I'll just yoink dad's laptop"

Right now having a Lee that sucks, a Pz35(t) elite as moneymaker/crew trainer, Luchs that sucks, and a BT-7 that sucks HARD. Had Pz38(t), and I have researched Pz38nA, I just need the credits. After that going for a Hetzer.

I dont think it will be anymore, since they nerfed the 105 pretty hard this last patch.

In general, tier 4 is the most unfun tier, with a few exeptions. Tier 5 however is pretty nice.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 01-01-2012, 21:01:10
Hetzer isn't fun at all.

General hints:
- Tier V makes the most money usually. Repair cost rise enourmously above tier V, eating all your revenue.
- Experiment with 75% commanders in combination with 50% crew on tier IV.
- Even if you do not plan to get gold, have a look at the equipment available. Usually you need gold to demount those very expensive equipments, but some equipment can be demounted for free. Those are binocular telescopes, camouflage net and toolbox. So, once bought, it will be useful one many future tanks. Small spall liner and enhanced spring can be cheap, considering the amount of money you plan to make on a tank.

Individual hints:
- The Pz. 38nA will replace the Pz. 35t as your primary money maker. Due to nostalgia I still got a 35t in stock, but I rarely run it.
- Stug III is one of the best money makers.
- Tier VI teaches you scouting if you haven't learned by then. Often you'll have no other choice when facing impenetrateable Tier IX tanks. The faster you accept your role as a scout, the faster you will learn for good.

Stug III is indeed a moneymaker. currently im stuck with the jagdpanzer IV and i dont get why people hate it. i had enough free xp to buy the tracks immediately and mount the long 75mm. that gun sucked, however the 88 is great and the camo net and binoculars i bought make it an awesome sniper. the frontal armour is good for a tankdestroyer also.

Really ?? Personally I found that the JpzIV lacked penetration compared to russian T6 tanks. I think I never bounced a shot with the angled armor(maybe a Tier 3) and once you shoot everybody spot you. I found this tank a real pain compared to the Jadgpanther or the Stug.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer) on 02-01-2012, 11:01:30
I had a top gun on the stock JgPzIV.
I don't think it's a bad tank. It's just that you get bored with it. I tried to grind and grind but in the end I lost interess and used some gold to convert free exp and to get to the JgPanther.

From my deep memory, I'd say you should enjoy the good times you will have with the BT-7, because sooner or later you will know the pain of the A-20.  The T-34-57 is all worth it though.

PZ II got his gun nerfed as well. Out it goes. Bring on another Russian. Tetrach is ok'ish.

I'll keep the one French tank and bring it to tier V or something. The earlier ones are ok, later on it gets ridiculous. The Hotchkiss almost has tier 8 armor, from one French' line perspective. Tier V revolver gun sounds nice actually and the armor isn't that bad yet. They ding a lot too. But I see no point in going further than tier 4 or 5. None at all besides utter frustration and rage. I doubt anyone will play them.

i used my free exp to get to the D2 and upgrade its tracks, turret and weapon. also spent some credits on it. im dissapoint. waste of exp and money. delayed my jagdpanther some thousand exp.

had to face a heavy french tank (dont remember the name) which was T7 in my jagdpanzer IV and could finish it with 3 shots from the front, totally unexpected - i mean compare that to the JS. those french tanks dont seem effective to me.

also throw in that im just 12k xp from my jagdpanther im busy grinding through my Jagdpanzer IV atm.

The new french tanks don't look too pretty.
I've had the pleasure to meet some of their top tiers and they sure hell are squishy.

I just finally got my E-50 upgrade to it's maximum with the 105 gun, that thing is a "med" brawler that can be played like an heavy but at 60km/h. It can't turn on a dime like the T-54 though.
Next grind will be for the JT starting at the Hetzer :/
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 07-01-2012, 01:01:58
Especially low tiers are full of french tanks in these days. About 50% french tanks per battle. But this time, it is not noobs but all those pro players descending from their high tier tanks. Usually tier I battles pass quickly, even on Campinovka, but these days it is just hardcore camping ending with a draw. Ugh!

From my expirience, the french tanks are good victims. The have low crew numbers, people are busy grinding the upgrades and only very few people have Camouflage skills. They just sit there, stare into space while getting eaten by concealed tanks with goods crews able to hide themselves from the enemy. Thus, my favourite victim so far is the Char B1.  ;D

Nevertheless, I had my setback already. I didn't pay attention and wasted 160 gold on premium ammo for a french tier I autocannon, while I wanted to buy HE ammo only. Considering that I don't wanna butcher more than 10 bucks into this game, 160 gold was a horrible amount of money wasted.

I also almost missed the Tetrarch, as I expected it to be added automatically with update 7.1. Then I found out that the offer is limited in time and requires to unlock it as bonus item in the account manager. If you haven't unlocked it, you better be quick. Though it is pretty useless, it comes with a free slot, at least.

Other, are there also other battlemodes like country vs country or historical?

At last I would like to know which tanks you can use best for earning credits, I am playing mostly in the russian tier and use the t 26, su 76, t 28 and wanted to advance further to the kv1 and t34 but I ain't very sure about it.

Everything improves slightly with crew skill.

Other gamesmodes like historical batle is one of the many things we are waiting for, and we will be waiting a while longer.

1.Historical Battles.
2.British Tank Tree.
3.German Panzerjagers.

It mostly depends upon your gameplay style. I myself have got a Lowe long time ago and I like it very much.
It can still provide me with credits when I need it the most (usualy 60K - 90K profit on premium).
I didn't like the type on the test server as it had a nasty habit of blowing up because of the ammorack but that can be solved with a wet ammo rack module.

The Löwe with its gun is an outstanding sniper from distance due to the high penetration abilities. But on short distance, it isn't better than an average Tier VIII tank.

The Type 59 is being driven best like a scout. You rush and encounter the enemy on short distance, circling the enemy faster than his turret is turning, pouring your projectiles into them while hoping that your speed keeps other enemy tanks from hitting you. Once you operate in wolfpacks of several Type 59, nothing can stop you as the high speed allows your wolfpack to deal the enemy tanks one by one. The rotund turret gives you excellent armor against low tier guns. Even with a Tiger you expirience bounces when hitting the turret of a Type 59. However, you need to know how to scout. If you don't know how to scout, the Type 59 will be a disappointment. Thus it is more difficult to drive than a Löwe as it requires more expirience.


I started playing it lately and I have to say I like the amount of variety and some other things, but I have to say I dislike the accuracy of your aim, it's like gambling when shooting tanks on medium/far distance, you miss more then you hit, does it improve over time with crew experience or not?

The mechanism is very simple, thus unexpected: The longer you aim, the higher the chance on a hit. If you pour out shells once the ring is constricted and you do not penetrate the enemy, wait longer before you shoot. This explainst why the first shots are often a miss or bounce, while the second shell will penetrate after having led the enemy tank for longer.


At last I would like to know which tanks you can use best for earning credits, I am playing mostly in the russian tier and use the t 26, su 76, t 28 and wanted to advance further to the kv1 and t34 but I ain't very sure about it.

Never drove a T-34, but the KV is good money maker for the russians. Probably the best. Much better than a Su-76 or a T-28.

Post by: luftwaffe.be on 08-01-2012, 14:01:13
when you chose between a t-59 or a lowe, I would pick the t-59.

Although last patch did nerv the type, it still is a much cheaper tank then the lowe, yet can produce the same amount of credits. The type also has lower operating costs (very cheap shells, while those of the lowe cost1K per shell).  The type is actually just  hammered down t-54, while the lowe is more like a KT with poorer armour and weaker engine, but slightly better gun.

Don't even think about getting the kv-5. It's armour is rubbish due to the big turrets standing in front  it's cannon is not brilliant either. It's weak for a tier VIII. You are better off with 3 months of prenium then buying this POS

I like the Hotchkiss though. It may be slow as a snail, a mediocre at best gun, but people ding on me a LOT. It can take a punch too. Especially in urban area's. I may just ditch my trusty PZII and use that slot to buy back my SU85 8)

Jagdpanther sucks. Always did. I always have some respect when it appears in my sight, but after some hard punches I enjoy laughing. The front armor is still weak, while you can pierce the side armor with a 7,5cm Kwk already.


Haven't played that much of the French, the really heavies seem to do ok, strangely enough. Middle of the trees is supposed to be hell.

The AMX12t, (tier V light tank) is a really tough enemy. Seems like they advantage it by putting it into low tier battles. Already encountered it in battle with two Pz.III/IV and both Pz. III/IV bit the dust.


I like the Hotchkiss though. It may be slow as a snail, a mediocre at best gun, but people ding on me a LOT. It can take a punch too. Especially in urban area's. I may just ditch my trusty PZII and use that slot to buy back my SU85 8)

They are planning to bring the 28/32 Pz.Kpfw. 38(f) Hotchkiss as a french Premium tanks. I just doubt that they will implement alternative fire. :(

spent my last credits to get the jagdpanther. turns out this game is complete bullshit. russian tanks get bigger guns. meanwhile the jagdpanther tier 7 starts with the long 75mm from 2 tiers earlier. still had some credits to mount the normal 88 but that also bounces from js tanks and even churchills to the side. throw in that my thick sloped frontal armour doesnt do shit and i dont have a proper engine and the thing doesnt pay off. now i can start from tier 2 again? no thanks. and im definately not going to pay for this game and get gold.  :P

Did your shift button break?

You just need some more games under your belt. I use free XP to go to the max gun instantly on a new tank. Jagdpanther does suck though. I play non-premium all the time, I only bought a Chinaman for the money, but I doubt I'll get another tier 8,9 or 10.

Not only is it hard to make profit without premium with those, those games take ages. Most people rush through the tech trees, ending up swearing at their 'big' garage, filled with impressive, but ultimately, pretty useless tanks. My higher tanks are supported by a range of lower tanks, td's and arty, most notably tier 5 arty and td's.

I LOVE my Sherman Jumbo!!!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: evhgear on 11-01-2012, 04:01:41
Jumbo in T6 battles is awesome, but I often get in T8 battles, where the only thing I can do is to snipe at long range or supporting biggers in a safe spot. That way I perform quite well with it(71% victory, 51% survived) but its not my favorite tank by far.

About the french tanks, I perform quite badly with it(±35% victory). I tried the heavy since I enjoyed soo much slow tanks like KV-3, KT, etc.). It's nice to bounce often, but 85% of my shot misses or bounces. The SA47(B1 best gun) have 0.34 but it seems like 0.6 since I miss all the time. the shot always go on the sides of the aim.

For accuracy, the KV-3 with the D-25T(0.4acc) is an incredible sniper tank, I can hit and damage a tank easilly at 400meters and more, while I can miss 3 shots in a row at 300meters with the 88L71... Russians big caliber guns seems to go quite strait while smaller germans(mainly the 88) seems to deviate more often. For the 128german I don't have this problem, the shot seems to go quite strait, but for the 88 it seems to goes often on the sides. Is it because of the heavier shell that it makes the shot more strait ???

hmm . interesting.

I don't have T-59, but I find it an intriguing tank. Best T8 medium no doubt. I have about 16K gold left, but I also want to buy E-series premium or the JT-88 when they come out.. Not sure if I should buy the 59 now, or leave it and buy other preniums later
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 13-01-2012, 00:01:42
The removal underlines the superiority of that beast. I guess they looked into the battle results and freaked out about the win-loss ratio. Especially for platoons of Type 59s. If I'd have the gold and would be willing to spend it on premium tanks, I'd buy one before January 16th.

Edit:// BTW. Is anyone as pissed about the german camo as I am? The devs consider yellow as a coating on top of the field-grey which is used for all tanks in WoT. This causes the grey to shine through. Also the wheels are not included and are always grey despite camo. It is so horribly wrong. ???

yeah, I bought one and I'm not disappointed. Insane credit income (overall even better then lowe ), and prolly best tier 8 medium no doubt. I laugh if PantherII or Phersing tries to go 1v1.

yes it sucks big time. And the most common late war camo isn't even in the list. I hate it how the wheels remain panzergrey (it's not field grey Dukat , as that is a type of green), despite you take another hull colour. Frankly, the fan made ones are better for the germans. Some camo for the US I do like. Some of the Russian ones are okeyish, but I'm not to fond of them either

I just got my AMX 13 crew up to spec. It is a pretty hilarious when you shove 6 rounds into someone before they can really react to it. Only negative is the tank only holds 36 rounds total. That and the simple fact that it is a highly mobile piece of French kindling.

The sub tier 6 French heavies are pretty rough. I have gotten some terrible matchmaking with some akward tanks with disappointing guns. I just got the ARL 44 which keeps the goofy early WW2 suspension, but at least mounts a gun that feels like it can actually damage something.

T95 is awesome. I usually platoon with my buddy who has one as well, and we generally do really well. Some maps are not made for this tank, but most are fine. The trick is to not stay at base and wait for the enemy. Find a way to attack/ support the attack, and you will rape everything that  comes in your way. If you have support that is. And 2 t95's can support each other nicely enough.

I have a KV-3 in stock, but I don't wanna grind it because of the tree changes. The KV-3 will be moved from tier VI to tier VII, and i don't wanna have an unexpirienced tier VI crew on the tier VII then. I would have to grind the KV-3 twice as long to get on the standartized average crew level, while the T-150 would not have been grinded at all.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 17-01-2012, 09:01:49
The T95 is a really good tank if you have support, otherwise it will usually be an exercise in frustration. I use mine only in clan wars, where it tends to be part of a small contingent meant to lock down an area. At this kind of role it is phenomenal, and it can be horrendous to dislodge.

In pubbie games, the story is completely different. Most of the time your teammates will do absolutely nothing to support you, and you will be too slow to effectively bother keeping up with them. This leaves most people defending. Where more often than not a T95 will be easily flanked or maneuvered past. Kradovech is right though, that in a platoon you should have at least one person supporting you. It is a huge boost to the T95 more than most tanks which can usually operate fine solo. Just having someone shoot flankers can make all the difference in the world.

When the new-tree Russian heavy tanks arrive, there is some switching that will go on.  The KV becomes a KV-1 and KV-2, the KV-3 goes from T6 to T7 and the IS-4 goes from T9 to T10.  If you have any of these tanks in your garage at the time, then you both keep your current tank (and crew etc.) in its new configuration, plus you get its replacement with a 100% crew and free slot.

[..] plus you get its replacement with a 100% crew and free slot.

This is what confuses me. When the german tank tree was changed, I had none of the tanks that were actually moved. I believe you, but it doesnt appear reasonable to fill the gaps with tanks and 100% crews after the moval. If I get it with trained crew, why should I run that tank at all? It is a tier below, I don't need neither it or the crew. Sounds like unneccessary free giveaways to me.

This is the reason why I hate the T59. In every T8-9-10 battles theres minimum 4 T59. Wheres the PantherII, The Pershing and T44 ?? IMO its a good things to make them not avaliable, but they still make sooo much money for players who are using it, so it will not be soon that T59 will be as common as other T8 mediums.

Post by: blue on 20-01-2012, 08:01:42
No point playing Pershing, you're better off shooting your monitor and playing with a PzIII in a T10 battle.

I strongly disagree. Pershing is one of my favorite tanks and is more than capable. The long 90mm has solid penetration and a good rate of fire. Further the vehicle is mobile and with a stabilizer REALLY accurate on the move. The key to playing this tank is to use its mobility and great depression to your advantage. Skip ahead of a hill, pop a few rounds off at incoming tanks and disappear. Hover around friendlies until an opportunity comes and you can shred tier 9s or some 10s even.

the 105 on the pzIV is awesome, when you are againts lower tiers you can one shot them all, and kill a kv with 3 shots at most, obviously all HE shells :P

I used to love the 105 on the Sherman for the same reason, but the recent HE changes (aka giant nerf) have ruined howitzers for me. They do not have the precision to regularly make shots aiming for weakspots at any practical range. Basically you will bounce HE rounds unless you are fighting sometihing pathetically armored, or you are lucky to hit the exact weakpoint you are aiming for. This has made HE fairly pointless now outside of shells larger than 120mm, where at least the explosion cone gives you a little leeway.

I was in my E-75 watching 3 Type 59s hopelessly fling HE hopelessly at me, since they could not flank. At least in the past they would have been doing some damage, which I think is reasonable even if unrealistic. People who are stuck in tier 5 and 6 tanks are often thrown to the wolves, and HE was the only method they had to do some consistent damage to high tier tanks. It feels like another underhanded cash grab to nudge people into buying gold rounds. Gold rounds are basically the only thing that make the non-arty howitzers in game viable anymore.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Gezoes on 20-01-2012, 09:01:11
Wrong. Almost every auto-aim hit with HE was a hit, not anymore. That's what happened. You have to really hit weak spots now with something called aiming, and you can still get lucky. I notice little difference when playing with HE, I rarely use auto-aim. That's just there so the console kiddies feel at home. They also cry the most, losing one game after another on daddy's WoT account.

You know you are dealing with a mature person when the first thing they do is insult your ability. I was not actually attacking one's ability to use the gun in game, I was speaking in general about HE, especially in relation to howitzers. Again, I am not saying it is totally worthless, just that in a lot of weapons it has become drastically less effective. I think to the point of actually harming the game.

The first thing I addressed was that howitzers are not particularly accurate. If you can consistently hit a moving target in its weakest points outside of close range with a low velocity gun, you are clearly some kind of uber player. The weapons literally have low accuracy if you read their stats. Add this to the fact that they have low velocity, and you have some weapons that are really hard to use at range. If you fire enough rounds, and have a knack for it you can get lucky; but I honestly think you are lying if you claim you can use these weapons to target weakpoints at any real range.

Also the HE changes were drastic. There were numerous threads on the WoT official forums that documents it, if you actually bothered to look into it deeper than some anecdotal 'learn to play' rant. Prior HE would splash and it would essentially hit the weakest part of the armor in relation to the splash. Now the way the rays are drawn tend to make it much more difficult to actually get the HE damage in relation to weakpoints, hence a lot more bouncing unless you are have godlike aim, are lucky, or are shooting something very weakly armored. Prior 7.0 HE had to be aimed as well for optimal results. For the last time if you are using a howitzer you are using a gun that is low velocity and statistically inaccurate.

I have not used auto-aim since they changed the mechanics during beta making it worthless against moving targets, I do not know anyone else who uses it either. Also http://worldoftanks.com/community/accounts/1000028162-unlawfulsoup/ if you think I cannot aim or have no experience with this game. I do not say that as some pointless boast or anything, just that I find it pretty distasteful when people throw bullshit like learn to aim in my face.

Also for the full post 7.0 HE experience I suggest using an M5 Stuart with its 75mm howitzer.

I honestly notice little difference with HE, no matter the bibles written on it, pre or post 7.1. I also don't use short-barreled howitsers, but I can imagine the problem being more prominent there. On the other hand, with a howi, you should be close, so it shouldn't be any problem hurting the enemy with HE. Can't kill with HE, but it sure can annoy the crap out of the enemy.

The 'something called aiming' can be taken personally, it wasn't though. I'll just ignore your following high horse manure if you don't mind.

mmm maybe I missing something, last time I played WoT was in the beta and then startet again prior 0.7, maybe they were better thant they are now, but i still find them very usefull, againts tiers 4 and belowe i can one shot everything, even pzIVs, and heavys I usually deal 15-20% of damage when firing at the sides of the hull or turret, i even drop a tiger 2 to 5% from 50% when firing at the side of the turret. Its a very tricky gun trough, slow as hell , and takes ages to aim, thats why i use it as support mostly, stay behind, and at 100 meters fire, usually score a hit, and track them, making the second hit guarantied :P

heavier targets I usually avoid, dealing 10%-5% damage is not worth it when they can one shot you :P

Stuff happens:

These 2 idiots were platooned and had something against me. Friendly guy came by and shot both of them and was flagged as teamkiller. Whole team started to yell that report and ban that teamkiller  :(. I tried to defend him, I hope he doesn't get banned.

Sounds familiar. Sometimes even a single tank is enough.

Wrong. Almost every auto-aim hit with HE was a hit, not anymore. That's what happened. You have to really hit weak spots now with something called aiming, and you can still get lucky. I notice little difference when playing with HE, I rarely use auto-aim. That's just there so the console kiddies feel at home. They also cry the most, losing one game after another on daddy's WoT account.

I often play Type during the late afternoon, so I catch them just before mommy's dinner  :D

You know you are dealing with a mature person when the first thing they do is insult your ability. I was not actually attacking one's ability to use the gun in game, I was speaking in general about HE, especially in relation to howitzers. Again, I am not saying it is totally worthless, just that in a lot of weapons it has become drastically less effective. I think to the point of actually harming the game.

The first thing I addressed was that howitzers are not particularly accurate. If you can consistently hit a moving target in its weakest points outside of close range with a low velocity gun, you are clearly some kind of uber player. The weapons literally have low accuracy if you read their stats. Add this to the fact that they have low velocity, and you have some weapons that are really hard to use at range. If you fire enough rounds, and have a knack for it you can get lucky; but I honestly think you are lying if you claim you can use these weapons to target weakpoints at any real range.

Also the HE changes were drastic. There were numerous threads on the WoT official forums that documents it, if you actually bothered to look into it deeper than some anecdotal 'learn to play' rant. Prior HE would splash and it would essentially hit the weakest part of the armor in relation to the splash. Now the way the rays are drawn tend to make it much more difficult to actually get the HE damage in relation to weakpoints, hence a lot more bouncing unless you are have godlike aim, are lucky, or are shooting something very weakly armored. Prior 7.0 HE had to be aimed as well for optimal results. For the last time if you are using a howitzer you are using a gun that is low velocity and statistically inaccurate.

I have not used auto-aim since they changed the mechanics during beta making it worthless against moving targets, I do not know anyone else who uses it either. Also http://worldoftanks.com/community/accounts/1000028162-unlawfulsoup/ if you think I cannot aim or have no experience with this game. I do not say that as some pointless boast or anything, just that I find it pretty distasteful when people throw bullshit like learn to aim in my face.

Also for the full post 7.0 HE experience I suggest using an M5 Stuart with its 75mm howitzer.

mmm maybe I missing something, last time I played WoT was in the beta and then startet again prior 0.7, maybe they were better thant they are now, but i still find them very usefull, againts tiers 4 and belowe i can one shot everything, even pzIVs, and heavys I usually deal 15-20% of damage when firing at the sides of the hull or turret, i even drop a tiger 2 to 5% from 50% when firing at the side of the turret. Its a very tricky gun trough, slow as hell , and takes ages to aim, thats why i use it as support mostly, stay behind, and at 100 meters fire, usually score a hit, and track them, making the second hit guarantied :P

heavier targets I usually avoid, dealing 10%-5% damage is not worth it when they can one shot you :P

To be perfectly fair I spend the majority of my time in tier 6+ tanks. In that realm howitzers outside of KV derp are generally all but worthless. Maybe in the lower tier rounds it is possible to still capitalize on the 105 howitzers since there should be far less armor to deal with. That said, the general mechanics changes have hurt howitzers given matchmakers tendency to throw people to the wolves. Tanks like the M5 stuart are all but worthless with its best gun.

Also I am not sure how you were damaging the sides of King Tigers with the 105L28. The KT side and rear armor is 80mm and the average 105L28 penetration is 64mm. 64mm does not give you a lot of latitude when facing heavies, or even mediums frontally for that matter.

I was talking with some of my clanmates and friends; generally we think the HE adjustment would have not been a nerf if matchmaking was more reasonable.

No problem when you are a retard yourself. Then it is ok-ish. Just make sure that you die when the campers on both factions agree on a draw. After I died and left, I don't have to listen to the insults any longer.

What bugs me most are battles at daytime. Most of the time, somebody has the great idea to stack all tanks on one flank, hoping to reach the enemy base faster then the enemy reaches our base on the opposite flank, which is pure gamble, IMHO.

Whatever comes, I deliver my 3 kills and then I'm out by 10:00.  :D

Just saw this on lakeville.
First battle for day so double exp at stake. Whole team decides to go trough mountains, few TDs and arty stays in base and I go alone to city. I counter 6 enemy tanks with my AMX 40. I managed to destroy their B1, and damaged M2 medium and M5 stuart. By time they had cleared me from their way, my team was already capping their base  ;D

Installed it again after not playing for two months.

Was greeted by getting shot to shit by invisible enemies just before an arty took away 1000hp. Next round we lost 15>2 (only 2 kills being mine) and the round after that we lost because a guy in an IS4 was hiding (for god knows which reason) instead of helping me.

So I uninstalled it again.

no, you can't log into EU and NA servers with one account. It's either one of the servers not both. Otherwise everybody would go to the US server to buy stuff because it's cheaper then on the EU

Why is it cheaper? Yankees are even too lazy to play games?

Btw, when servers were seperated and we had to choose either US or EU, I obviously chose EU. I played all the way up to few tier 6 tanks. Then I noticed some lag issues that sometimes occured and while trying to find out reason for my high ping, I noticed that even when game worked well, I had 130 ping. So just out of curiosity I asked "is this EU server?" in chat. Answer was "no, this is US".

So situation was this. I had chose EU server for sure. Launcer had EU flag on it and said something like "EU server". I contacted support and asked if I could be moved to EU server for real, as I had been on US server just because of this bug. I also asked if I could keep all my tanks as I already had played a lot. They told me it's ok and they can move me with all my stuff. Then I got moved and logged first time in, I had nothing. No tanks, no XP, no money. I contacted support again and I got told that "No it's not possible to move tanks from server to another, you should have chose EU instead of US at very beginning." This killed WoT for me for quite long time.

The launcher for the EU server promises 5x XP for the first victory tonight. I just could not find a newspost dealing the 5x XP yet.

A list of the new 22 crew skills coming with 7.2 is also available. And some of those skills are that awesome, that I'd prefer to have all of them, instead of only a couple.

So, far, I'd prefer the following skills:

Quote

Commander
Premonition - Perk
In the interface a special visibility indicator will allow a commander to check whether or not the vehicle has been spotted.
[Note from Author] Because I need this. I'll know when to withdraw then.


Driver
Neatnik - Perk
The engine no longer leaks oil or gasoline, and the chance of fire is reduced.
[Note from Author] No need to waste skill on firefighting.


Gunner
Sharp-shooter - Perk
Improves chance to critically damage modules and crew members with a shot. The bonus does not affect critical damage by HE rounds. Only the highest trained level of this skill will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the skill trained


Loader
"Non impact" ammo rack - Perk
Increases ammo rack durability, because ammo is placed in an accurate way and has no direct contact between shells. Only the highest trained level of this skill will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the skill trained.
[Note from Author] Less need to repair the ammo rack with a 3k repair kit


Radio Operator
Sonar - Skill
Increases view range. Only the highest trained level of this skill will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the skill trained.
[Note from Author] Just because I did not pick view range increasements for the other crewmen



See details here and tell us which skills you would pick and which you would pick not:

I´ve had it with this game. This now gets my rating: "bullshit". It´s unrealistic and frustrating. Other than the classes of vehicles (Artillery, Light, Medium, Heavy and Tankdestroyers) it doesn´t offer much strategic depht. And even then some tanks fail at their intended role even when used correctly.

First game: I just had my Jagdpanthers 105 bounce 2 times from a KV´s turret. The KV however with it´s short 75mm penetrated my Jagdpanthers frontal armour 2 times and I blew up. It really seems like a russian sticker on the vehicle gives it extra power. In any way, a gameplay related or a realistic way the Jagdpanther should have won that engagement. Hell, I had a goddamn upgraded T7 tank lose versus a russian T5 tank without upgrades. And I used the Jagdpanther correctly: I set up an ambush behind a hedge, not moving.

Also it´s a tankdestroyer, someone would expect that it can damage heavy tanks (even more so when they are 2 tiers under you). And let´s not even talk about enemies of equal or higher tiers.

Second game: 5 chinese tanks from the late 50ties in a WW II era game totally dominating the battlefield.

Third game: I made the mistake to buy the D2 for the french tree with free XP. Well, it´s slow, it doesn´t have a prober gun and the armour is penetrated on a regular basis when I´m matched versus tanks 3 Tiers above me. Last game i got 53 XP with it.

I´m aware that I sound like an angry kid now, but I don´t enjoy the game at all any more. Just my opininion. I think I will take a break from it (again).

lol I think that KV just got lucky. Also, those Chinese tanks have a gun used by a Tier 6 medium tank... armour is kind of good, but certainly not OP.

And if you get lucky the Chinese tank would go up in fireworks in one shot.

Sometimes I really wonder, isn't there truly enough player waiting for match with same tier as me. I just hate to find myself from game where I can damage their arty (maybe). What's the point of putting tanks in battle like that  ???

Same thing when playing with friend. Both have same tier tank, but it seems to throw us against higher tier tanks every time we are platooned. Like teamplaying would make our guns penetrate 100mm more?

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: evhgear on 23-02-2012, 13:02:48
HE shells now makes a lot less damage. Before the 88HE shell could damage any tank from any angle. It was not as much damage as a penetrated AP shot but still usefull for damaging higher tiers. Now if you face a higher tier tank that you cant penetrate him, 88  HE shells will 3/4 of the time do anything, the other 1/4 will eat 1% of their lives... Before T5 105mm derp gun could take almost 20% of the health of a T8, now hes lucky if he can make more than 10%... maybe I'm wrong I'm not shure at 100% since now 105mm derp are extremely rare, I've only seen about 5 derp tanks since HE nerf, or maybe I was just lucky when encountering them.

The problem is maybe 1-2% of the server population can read a minimap, let alone do 'complicated' things like angle a tank or lead a target. Most of the time I can tell within 30 seconds if we will win or lose based on our deployment. I mostly keep playing because my clan is pretty rad and we control a lot of Europe on the map.

The coming patches look nice and all, but frankly unless they fix their appalling matchmaking system these additions are simply gimmicks.

Hell, even with the new tanks that are coming out, WGs record of balancing new stuff is pretty shoddy at best, and the bottom falls out of that pretty fast when you remember that, for instance, Tier 5 tanks get put into Tier 8 games. You can tweak and balance a tier 5 until the cows come home but you're still going to get fucked over by tiers above you, regardless.


This has been a persistent rant of mine for a while now, but frankly I cant see anything wrong with:


Tier 1 and Tier 2 matchmaking grouped together (as it is now anyway).

Tier 3 and 4 are grouped together, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, same thing. Except that artillery gets moved up into the matchmaking set above that tier (leaving tier 1 and 2 battles with no artillery. Which is fine by me).



It means that every single player at least stands a better fight than they are now, no more 'easy kills' and tier balancing becomes a dam sight easier.

Ill probably throw this up on their forums later, because I would dam sure like to know why WG have yet to implement such a system.

Can't wait for a MM rebuild. I drive a AMX40(Duck tank,Tier4), and so far I've been against IS-2 and T29 about 75% of the time, and I've been only once in a T4 battle. On about 25 battles in total, it sucks a lot to be able to do anything at all, I'm shure that it discourage a lot of new players to join this game.

Most french tanks have these nice semi-automatic guns that give quite a punch. So far I have loved my AMX 13 75.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 24-03-2012, 00:03:36
I have the BatChat and the AMX 50 100 (120 researched but bought an M12 so I do not have silver for it yet.)

The French are kings of burst damage. One salvo of 100mm can often end most tier 8 tanks; assuming you can aim and do not get a bad bounce or two. The reload time is pretty terrible, so the key is to plan your attacks while using your speed to get away and reload. Mind you, it takes a tier 5 for light/mediums or tier 8 for heavies if you want an autoloader.

7.2 looks to really badly nerf French tanks, so I do not know how well they will fair after that.

Well, the Brummbär comes with skirts, at least on the icon. That is the first time I see skirts implemented.

http://wot-news.com/stat/server/eu/norm/en

Accordingly to those stats, I'm a pretty average player. Except for the number of played games. I got about 7200 battles, and there are only a couple of ten-thousand players with more battles. Surprising.


How are the French tanks? Might re-install it again now there's a bunch of those.

The french low tier tanks suck. Currently I'm not driving french tanks until they add new branches to the development tree, allowing you transit between the branches and skip some of those low tier tanks.

Why? After the Tiger the rest of the line to the E-100 is smooth sailing. The King Tiger and E-75 are both excellent tanks considered by many to be the best of their tier. The E-100 is a little more questionable, depending on what you are looking for in a tank.

Mind you, it would be an ungodly terrible grind without premium.

I guess I can understand that.

I tend to play with platoons when I get down on things. Further my clan basically pays my way, so I use gold or gold tanks to get past the worst speed bumps. That said, I leveled to my KT as the first thing when the game went live and I never regretted it. Once you get the long 105 you can seriously hurt just about anything you come across.

Played it again and I have to say it´s quite funny that the amount of players using US tanks has risen drastically obviously to get the new tanks and tank destroyers. ^^

The JP is a money grave, even more than before. I detected 3 tanks, damaged 3, finished 2 (all about the same tier) and surfived the round and all I got was 16k credits for a repair and reammo cost of 12k. Wow! I still need 70k experience and more than 1mil credits to get to the Ferdinand, but I can´t continue to play with the JP on that basis. Even with the long 88 the cash you make is horribly low.

Think I have to buy a Hetzer/Stug again... but that won´t give me the xp I need for the Ferdinand, jsut free XP which takes ages. This means I have to do a double long grind which will take months just to get that ugly Ferdinand.

This game totally consists out of made up tanks. I consider all those prototypes or things that just existed on paper as made up. One of the Reasons I went down the german tank destroyer tree was that that tree was the only one who had no made up tank in it.

I had it once, and had so much bad luck and losses I was even looking to gipsy magic. It sucks. Yeah. But you can't expect to run tier 7/8 ish profitable for free. I have some, but I finance them with lower tiers. If you have nothing but tier 7 and up in your garage, you're making a big mistake.

I didn´t play in a platoon yet. I played however with 1 friend, the 2nd friend couldn´t join, because we all don´t own premium. So does only one in the group have to own premium for all of us to play?

My sentiments exactly!

For me the game seems to swing wildly between screen smashingly frustrating to sublimely rewarding.

Problem is 9 out of 10 rounds are just so frustrating due to so many different reasons (some the fault of the game, some the players) that it can be hard just to find the will to continue playing.

With the 7.2 update released, I started to reskill a few tank crews, but I did not re-skill all. I need to test the skills and perks first before I assign new skills for all crews.

For example, I'm not sure yet how the sixth sense perk for the commander works. My impression is that I need to have detected an enemy vehicle for my commander to estimate whether I've been detected by them as well. If I don't see any enemy, the sixth sense perk won't alert me once I've been spotted by a hidden enemy. That makes the perk much more worthless than expected. The descriptions don't tell such details at all.

However, my general impression is that many people activated the new skills and perks instead of the common skills like camoflague, repairing or firefighting. Most likely people use camoflague as a secondary skill, often having only small percentages, while repairing and firefighting have been neglected at all. In the end people get spotted more early and are stuck forever once the tracks have been run off. Just yesterday I saw lots of tanks burning out, like a Tier 8 Löwe which did not appear to have firefighting skills or a fire-extinguisher at all.

It doesn't appear that difficult for me to get that badge. It only seems to depend on your average experience during the entity of battles. If you got like 1000 battles on a vehicle, having a good crew, your average experience per battle is significantly higher than of others who just rush through to the next vehicle. That said, I got the Ace tanker Badge on the Pz.38nA. And it was just yesterday when I ate a B2 head on. I was even to lazy to circle around him. ;D

The model appears to have been made within 5 minutes. They took some tracks, increased their size, put on a few airgrids, took some ship turrets from World of Battleships and voilà: Ratte. Not even to mention that they put on some hull MGs into the housing of the tracks which would force the gunners to sit on the tracks.

I have already found the sixth sense really useful for my arty and tank destroyers, and quite useful for mediums as well. You  dont acyually see the enemy, but consider that there is like a 2 second delay between when the spot you and you get the notification.

Brothers in Arms.

Hands down, this skill is the No. 1 choice. The interesting fact is, that it stacks with everything (ventilation, commander bonus, rations,) and also counts towards everything (overall skill, secondary skills (repair, camo and others)). Only downside is, that you need all crewmembers to have it and to stay alive to work. Otherwise I allways go for repair.

Besides from that the new T110E5 is rediciously overpowered. It´s able to out DPM everything (even frenchies), is mobile, well armoured from the front and has insane accuracy, even on the move. Expecting a huge nerf next patch.

Rolling like a baws with my Panzer IV with Darth Vader helmet and its long phallos 75mm penetrating all in my path. The thing is a madman! The only german tank the devs haven't destroyed by soviet bias.

Gonna wait for World of Warplanes. I have still 13 000 gold on WOT to use up. Why not invest time and money on dogfights? It is a better concept than tanks. (a tiny bit) More skill required, than only derping with IS. But I guess the devs will surprise-sex the shit out of the soviet counterparts there too.

Yes, but it is a perk. You need all crewmen to be at 100% for it to work. And if somebody dies, its off. The skill gain is great, but the cost (waste of skill-slots) is horrid when you can have shiny skills like situation awareness or recon.

Well its mostly for tanks that you do not see, for the scenario you described, its pretty useless, yeah.

I noticed yesterday that it works properly. I was in a tank on the right flank, some lights and mediums ahead, but no enemy in sight when I received a warning. I hid behind a stone and enemy artillery went down on the tank next to me. Turned out that there was a Chaffee hiding in a bush.



Brothers in Arms.

Hands down, this skill is the No. 1 choice. The interesting fact is, that it stacks with everything (ventilation, commander bonus, rations,) and also counts towards everything (overall skill, secondary skills (repair, camo and others)). Only downside is, that you need all crewmembers to have it and to stay alive to work. Otherwise I allways go for repair.

Remember that Brothers in Arms also increases your viewrange and also stacks to possible 10% from coated optics or the 25% from binocs.

Brothers in Arms - Perk

The perk improves major qualifications and all skills and perks for the entire crew. The perk comes into effect after it reaches 100% for the entire crew. The perk is more effective when combined with Improved Ventilation, Extra Combat Rations, Chocolate, Case of Cola, and Strong Coffee.


Yeah it works like for the repair, camo and firefighting perks, wich means all your crew needs it. So I think for the first perk I will stay with repair since being tracked is often death sentense, maybe as a second skill but repair come first IMO.

Post by: Dukat on 04-04-2012, 01:04:46
Err. Repairing, firefighting and camoflague are skills, not perks. They come into affect after you've reached at least 1 percent and above on a single crewmember.

I also prefer to put on camoskills first, you can always speed up repairing with a toolbox until you've reached 200%.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 04-04-2012, 02:04:45
Well, I just do it that way that I allways go for repair, until I reached like 130%, then reset for 90%, select BiA and then repair again. Simple and easy.

Yeah, that is really strange. Many people prefer repairing over camoflague. But to me there is nothing more horrible than facing a tank sitting in bush only a stone's throw away, constantly poping away from my sight, forcing me to pour my shots into the bush, disrupting my aim, causing reduced chances of a penetration, making all my shots bounce.
Really, that taught me lessons. Those are the guys that walk all over me. Its not the ones that have repair skills.

Repair is always useful, camo is only valuable if your vehicle has a good base value since the perk multiplies off of that. I like camouflage on TDs, lights, and certain mediums.

I see US heavy tanks doing that shit very often. Just recently was playing with my KV and enemy T29 disappeared 20 meters infront of me constantly and there were no bushes or anything, just plain desert  >:(

Well one thing to consider is the view range of the tank you are in as well. If your vehicle has terrible view range and a terrible crew, tanks will not be spotted until they are much closer. You can look at the chart linked at the bottom as a starting point for base vehicle values. The effective camo is then basically an equation based on (http://i.imgur.com/inI43.png) if your tank has a terrible base camo, then generally speaking you will not see a particularly noteworthy effect from having a net and camo skilled crew.

Some vehicles have really high camo values and can almost cloak. Object 704s with good camo can almost totally disappear if they are behind bushs, and you often have to get comically close to detect them. Often they can even fire and still remain stealth. Very few heavies have values that high, where you will see that kind of effect.

All of that said, some people may view any small camo increase as worthwhile, so in the end it is a personal choice. I find that with heavies I would rather have repairs or one of the new fangled perks, since they give you more bang for the experience used. Further, smart light/medium drivers will often try to tracklock heavies for arty to finish them, and anything to fix your tracks or other components faster is a huge boon; one that often can be the difference between living and dying.

I agree on some points with him. It seems to me, that every vehicle got a cooldown, determining which chances you get to win a battle.

After not having played for about 24 hours, I often find myself in excellent positions on the first battle of the day for each tank. It seems to me a choosen tank gets a matchmaking bonus, leaving him in a excellent tier position or granting him excellent comrades in arms. The author in the link above speaks of a penetration bonus for the first battle.

If I keep playing the tank quickly again after the tank returned to the garage, no bonus is applied. I often find myself in teams with serious disadvantages in tank quality, player skill or crew skill compared to the other team. Example: For once I grinded only a Kingtiger and a KV2 rotatory, causing me a loss streak of 15 battles.

I observed this for a years, considering this a strong constant.

As a solution to this, I increased the amount of garage slots as well as the amount of vehicles ready for combat. By today, I got 14 different vehicles ready for combat. I play them one after another, granting each tank a cooldown of at least one hour before I return to battle with it. As I get an (estimated) matchmaking bonus for the first battle on each tank, I often get 10 wins out of the first 14 battles, having played each battle on a different tank. If I give the 14 tanks a second go after approximately 1 hour cooldown, I get worse results, as the cooldown wasn't very long. I might win only about 50% of the battles of this second round.

Nowadays I play each tank once per day, harvesting the 2xXP, giving each tank a cooldown of 24 hours until the next battle. As a result, my win/loss ratio increased significantly to 50% and above on all tanks attended.


On a sidenote, I may list the 14 tanks I'm playing currently:

Tier II: PzKpfw 35 (t)
Tier II: Mk VII Tetrarch
Tier IV: PzKpfw 38 nA
Tier IV: VK 1602 Leopard
Tier IV: T-28
Tier V: PzKpfw IV

Tier VIII: PzKpfw VIB Tiger II

The anniversary event is happening right now, you can get one free day of premium and experience is x5 until tuesday, if anyone here is interested. Also some lower tier tanks are half price, including some premium vehicles. I just got myself a ram 2, I used to love that thing in the beta. It better not let me down!

Also, if you want to enjoy this game, you have to play it in a platoon with someone, and you need to have plenty of tanks to play with, like Dukat here. I don't grind aything in this game anymore - in fact most days I'm having trouble getting all my doubles.
The list of my tanks is as follows:

*Tier II: Mk VII Tetrarch - Got it for free, have played 2 rounds in it I think, was not impressed
*Tier III: T-127 - Got it for free, its absolutely overpowered. Especially since my crew  already has 50% on their 1st skill, whereas the average player I face probably has very little experience on their crew.
*Tier III: Marder II - No armor of any kind and a gun that is far superior to most tanks it faces. What can possibly go wrong with this concept?
*Tier V: KV - sitting there and waiting for the opportunity to provide me with a free slot.
*Tier V: VK2801 - Amazing thing, even after they nerfed the 105 howizer. It is the tank that holds the record for most experience in one battle: 2340
*Tier V: M24 Chaffee - It is fun, but its no VK2801.
*Tier V: SU-85 - sitting there. If i should ever feel like going down the russian tank destroyer tree, I can.
*Tier V: M4A2E4 - I dont know why I'm keeping this around, I don't play it ever.
*TierV: Ram II - Good rate of fire and good match-ups - what's not to like?
*Tier VI: M18 Hellcat - fealt like a scout tank in the beginning, but now with the best gun I can see its tank destroyer capabilities.
*Tier VII: AMX M4(1945) - Just got it today, have low expectations. According to the stats its an slower ARL44 with slightly less armor.
*Tier VII: AMX 13 90 - One of my new favourites. It was quite a long journey to get this thing, but when I raped an is7 with some help from a e50, It all payed off.
*Tier VII: Jagdpanther - I keep it around and play it every now and then, reminding me of the good times I had in this thing.
*Tier VII: Object 212 - My only artillery piece. It did teach me this - high tier artillery in this game is extremely over powered
*Tier VIII: Ferdinand - I have the Jagdtiger researched, but since i didn't enjoy it that much in the beta, Im going to wait for the Jagdpanther 2 to come out.
*Tier VIII: M26 Pershing
*Tier VIII: T-44
*Tier IX: E-50: I'm not enjoying all these mediums as much as I enjoy other types of tanks in the game. Still I have to say the russian tree seems to be the best by far in this regard. Shocking, I know.
*Tier IX: E-75 - a good heavy tank. Decent frontal armor and accurate gun.
*Tier IX: IS-4 - Quite fun, but I actually prefer my E-75
*Tier IX: T95 - best tank ever. As long as you don't stay on defence, it can bring the team victory quite easily. You are going to need backup though, I never play this tank when I am alone.

...

Having listed them all, I realised I probably have too many tanks...

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 13-04-2012, 01:04:55
Uh well, you want explanations? ;D

Tier II: PzKpfw 35 (t) - totally overpowered at 100/50, especially with equipment attached. 7 kills in a game is not even coincidence.

Tier II: Mk VII Tetrarch - I got a bad win loss ratio on this, but you can ruin a Pz.38H735(f)s day with it. And I always love to ruin the day of premium tank drivers. Its not a scout, as it comes with a tier 4 gun. Best is to stay in the 2nd line. The excellent speed gives the ability to go wherever some extra firepower is needed.

Tier IV: PzKpfw 38 nA - grinding this since 50%. Small tracks, excellent manouvreability. Got a higher viewrange than the VK 1602. If possible I rush forward, hide in some bush and unpack the binoculars. Then I just watch the fireworks.

Tier IV: VK 1602 Leopard - Good allround scout. The viewrange of 400 is a bit short. Usually I keep it moving. The broad tracks give serious slowdowns when steering left or right.

Tier IV: T-28 - once equiped with a tier 6 gun from the KV-3, this tank is a serious killer. I just stay close to the heavies or behind them.

Tier V: PzKpfw IV - can penetrate a lot of heavies but does little damage. Makes good money. Usually I play in the supportive role.

Tier V: StuG III - it is just there to make money. Framed by the Hetzer and Jagdpanzer IV it is probably the best money maker in its branch.

Tier V: T1 heavy - grinding heavy tank crew on this. I doubt there is a better chance to grind heavy tank crew in the U.S. tree while earning some money.

Tier V: KV-2 - excellent bastard. I'm just loving it for being not heavily modified, becoming some fantasy tank. Grinding crew on it - to infinity.

Tier V: M41 - grinding crew. Makes more money than the Hummel.

Tier VI: VK 3000 (H) - acceptable tier 5 scout. Good gun for supportive roles. Grinding crew for later use on the Panther.

Tier VI: VK 3600 (H) - baby Tiger. It is only a shadow of its previous greatness in the days of 0.67. Nowadays it is just junk on tracks. Usually you end up as scout for tier 9 or tier 10 battles, and in this role it sucks hard.

Tier VII: PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) - excellent tank on Tier 7. Better than the standard Tiger. You simply haul the 200mm front armor forward, giving enemy high tiers something where their shots bounce off. Serious moneymaker on tier 7.

Tier VIII: PzKpfw VIB Tiger II - grinding crew for the E-75. The tank is a ticket to the premier league of tier 8, 9 and 10. Gives you a strong influence on the outcome of battles.

IITetrachNot played much with this, seems a bit fragile to me.
IIIT-127Not played much with this either, but it seemed pretty tough and I remember my first round with it being very sucessful.
IVM8A1One of my active tanks, I'm not quite sure what to think of it.  I like the speed of it, but I think the gun is too crap for it to be a decent TD.
AMX40SLOOOOOOOOW.  My god, when I play this I sit there rocking backwards and forwards in my chair like Clarkson.  Still, at least it can take a beating and come through OK.
VKVKeeping this around for the extra slot.  152mm.  That is all.
Pz IVConsidering selling this, I don't get on with it too well.
ShermanAnother tank I'm not sure why I still own, I remember it used to be fun with the 105, but the couple of times I've used it recently it didn't seem to have the magic anymore.
VIKV-3Keeping this around for the extra slot.  Planning to grind it to the KV-4 after the update.
T-34-85Another active tank, pretty bad at the moment since it is new and I've yet to put a decent gun or 100% crew in it.  Seems to get really bad matchmaking too.
Pz IV/VAnother keeper.  Can get some pretty epic rounds with this tank, but it isn't something I'd want to use too often.
M6A semi-active tank, that I play when my active tanks are still in battle.  Lately seems to be on the wrong side of the matchmaker.
VIIILöweMy money maker.  A few rounds in this and I can buy anything.  Pretty fun to play too.  I love being able to reach out and touch people with it.
IXIS-4Keeping this around for the slot, and also because it is an epic tank.  I wish the driver's slit wasn't so big though.

VIII    M6A2 . excellent frontal armour, mediocre gun. Poor credit income compared to T-34/Lowe/Type
VIII    IS-3. Excellent tank. Grinding for IS-4.
VIII    Panther II. Another decoration tank.
VIII    KT. excellent tier VIII, but used to be better. Currently I prefer Lowe

IX      E-50. Plays like a KT on speed-steroids. good tank but needs patience
IX      E-75. Plays like a KT on armour-steroids. excellent tank , nice gun, nice armour
IX      VK4502. AKA the tanker. Slow and clumsy but well armoured and good gun. does not have a lower plate like E-75
IX      Jagdtiger. Meh, good gun but poor cammo and meh armour. good as long as your hull down. great gun depression
IX      M103. Improvement over the T-34 no doubt. might like.
X       E-100. Nice tank. Guns lacks penetration, but makes up for it with dammage

Can't play anniversary because they're laying a new floor in the house -_-. I tried playing with wireless internet but lag is unbearable.

Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 13-04-2012, 12:04:38
Well, then I will add my list here:

I - T1 Cunnigham - 100% crew, full with modules and equipment for ESL (didn´t played random, so no comment on that)

II - Tetrach - Awesome tank with high skill crew, rapes everything in it´s matches, even the infamous minimauses.
II - T57 - Most overpowered arty out there. Insane reload, accuracy, speed and armour(!). Just try it. It´s basically a TD with indirect firemode

V - KV - Derp KV, more to say? Also my entrance to arty
V - T-50-2 - Awesome scout and not without reason also called the trolltank. You can circle every enemy und rape their sides. Also a CW-tank
V - StuG - I play it whenever I have time to grind the german TD´s (I don´t have time). Nice little bugger

VI - S-51 - Fun to drive with nice damageoutput. Though you are running low on ammo most of the matches. Yet, I am not a good arty players with it comes to clan-standards. Need to improve and just deal more raw damage. Obj. 212 allready researched, but I lack the credits

VII - T29 - ESL tank and therefore with top crew and fully equiped. The T29 is the Tier VII heavy in which you can do best in high tier battles. It´s epic.
VII - AMX13 90 - Again an ESL tank. Was the most overpowered tank out there (got it successor now). Still awesome, fun to drive and very deadly (1.1k avg/XP lol)

VIII - Tiger II - Do I need anything to say? Awesome tank which can easily take on any tank of it´s on tier and with some good angling and positioning even higher tier tanks. Not as immobile as everyone thinks it is
VIII - T32 - Main ESL tank. MY favorite Tier VIII heavy. Awesome turret armour, good hull armour, you can easily do the Maustrick, quite small and resonably mobile. However, the gun lacks the penetration and a little accuracy. Taking on Tier IX´s from the front can be tricky
VIII - Löwe - Credits, Credits, Credits. Most played tank on my account, still I lack credits. It´s a good tank , but not extra ordinary. Can´t stand to play this thing anymore (660 battles :-X )
VIII - T34 - The new premium tank. Same capabilites like the Löwe in grinding money. Same weaknesses as the Tier IX T34, now with longer reload and aming time. However, the gun is absolutley deadly on Tier VIII. Haven´t played that much with it, yet.
VIII - Lorraine - Fast, deadly, accurate and BIG. I will never like it as much as the 13 90 just because it´s size. Plays more like a Panther and I switch between 100mm and 90mm gun, because the 10 sec. less reload can be very usefull when it comes down to reach and hold a position on a map at the roundstart.

IX - E-75 - Tiger II on steroids. Same mobility (not bad for a heavy), godlike frontal armour and very nice gun. I do reasonably better then in an IS-4. E-100 researched but no money, yet.
IX - M103 - Never played it and it´s still stock as I just skipped the T34 before the latest patch.
IX - T30 - Like the T30 before the patch, with less health. Does well as Tier IX TD. Not that many games played.
IX - IS-4 - Still one of my favorites and an easymode tank. Just press three times "r", angle here, Maustrick there, win. Best crew of all my tanks (nearly third skill on 100%)
IX - Object 704 - "Allright you primitive screwheads, listen up. This is my Boomstick!" ´nuff said. 2700 avg/dam anyone?

X - IS-7 - Never really liked that tank and never will. It´s nice to play, but I just don´t like it.
X - M110E5 - Has now the crown for the most overpowered tank. Insane gun and reload, nice mobility and strong frontal armour with a rather small tank. Nightmare for every medium and every other tank (lol).

Currently grinding crew on ESL tanks and money for Batchat, E-100 and Obj.212

Except for Type, nothing above VII, don't want premium all the time to maintain them, and those games just take forever. So I went for a balanced midrange garage, aimed at maintaining heavier tanks with lower tiers, Type gets me the real profit whenever I can play it. Many tanks have equipment too. I especially like quicker reloads, and less damage when ramming. Just like stabbing people in FH2, I like getting close. I hate American tanks, but I might get into them. The French are simply too horrible.

Tier II
Tetrach - Now serves as my 'Panzer II' which I really loved, until the new gun.

Tier III
Marder II - Ever since the beta, I love it. My best vehicle % wise too.
AMX38 - Rarely play it, early French are so bad, it scares me.

Tier IV
Priest - Good arty, lots of shells, but gets really fucked by matchmaker sometimes. Going to grow it to tier V, just like the German and Russian arty.

Tier V I like 5 best, it has everything.
SU85 - Like the Marder, I never stopped liking it. Good gun, slightly improved 107 tr VII
KV - for the split, and my favorite gun ingame: the 107
T34 - A tank to grow some more, towards T44/T54 land.
Wolverine - Good TD, wonderful reload.
SU8 - Good arty, but I rarely win with it.
50-2 - Fun, fun, especially if you play with brains. I.e.: not suiciding within 10 seconds.

Tier VI
GW Panther - Like the SU8, good arty, but it seems also cursed.

Tier VII
IS - Ever since beta, I liked it. Still do.
Tiger P - It's ok I guess, don't play it that often.

Tier VIII
Type 59 - I bought it to combat other Type's, fight fire with fire, because nothing else will do. It got nerfed BAD, but I still like it, and I'm quite good in it too.

Ingame name: Gezoes, as ever.

I don't have a premium account, and in my experience, the only tank I regularly lose money on is the IS-4 (though never more than about 10K per match).  Even then, I only need to do moderatly well to break even.  Still, maybe I'd be a bit more annoyed if I didn't have a lowe (even without premium it is a licence to print money).

I'm hoping I'll be able to generate some major funds while the equipment is still half price, I don't think I'll be able to take advantage of lower tank prices though.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Gezoes on 13-04-2012, 15:04:45
10k loss is not acceptable ;), but I guess I can look at an IS3... but I want the max gun first. My neighbour, and platoon m8 :D, does incredibly well with it. Most important for me is that I can play back to back, with a wide variety of vehicles. Yeah, I also rarely profit from half priced vehicles. I've either just bought it or it'll take ages still.

Equipment is nice at half price. Also, the anniversary gave everyone a free premium day. Pass is in the news, HAPPYBD or something.

Well, well, nice to take a look at other peoples garages.

I just noticed yesterday, that they nerfed viewranges on tanks. I remember clearly that my Pz.38nA had a viewrange of 420 while the VK1602 had 400. Now I find these uneven numbers on many tanks. Its now 367 on the Pz.38nA and 350 on the VK1602.

I also wonder when they released the T-127 premium tank. I must have missed that. It must have been some free giveaway like the Tetrarch, wasn't it?

Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 14-04-2012, 02:04:08
They didn´t nerfed it. They just changed the way they display it.

Before the patch every stat of your tank (accuracy, reloading, traversespeed and also viewrange) was for a 130% crew (the best possible). Now it shows you the value it actually has ingame with your current crew and setup.

I don't think there ever was a general giveaway for that tank. A friend linked me to some german gaming magazine's gaming article, that had a code for one day free premium and a T-127. I feel a bit dirty, but the insane amount of fun I have had in that thing helps to get past that. :P
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 16-04-2012, 19:04:58
My current tanks off the top of my head.

Mediums: Patton, E-50, BatChat, T-54, M4E8, M4, M4A2E4, Type 59, A32
Lights: VK2801, Chaffee, T-50-2, Locust, M3 Stuart
Heavies: AMX 50 120, IS7, Lowe, T34, M103, E-75 (100 researched but no interest in buying)
TDs: T95, Hellcat, Object 704, [Ferdinand as soon as I have some extra silver]
Artillery: M12

My favorites are the mediums, especially the Patton and Batchat. Both are great mobility fighters, where you rely on constant DPM or Burst as opposed to armor/Alpha. Batchat pre-7.2 was a much bigger nightmare to pubbies, but it is still fairly decent. Also Type 59 is my money maker of choice since it is amusing to play with easily exploitable frontal armor. Honorable mention to E-50, it is the best medium for pub play, since it is well balanced. The accurate gun and mobility make it something like a SUPER Panther. Also it is heavy so you can ram people to death, something I cannot help but do.

The 50 120 is pretty rough since it is a tier 9 heavy with tier 7 armor at best. The reduced reload time between shots has made it really tough to play well, since you really cannot spend any time in the enemies crosshairs. The M103 has been a pleasant surprise, on paper the armor should be lousy, but in game it works pretty well. The gun is also really solid, so the tank kind of plays like a fatter Patton. I hate my T34, but I do not blame the tank as much as the fact that I have way too many Lowe matches under my belt, and it feels like Lowe v.2 to me. IS7 is IS7, good clan wars tank, but it is pretty boring to me in pub play. I keep my Tiger II and E-75 around because they are really beautiful looking tanks, but I hardly play them. E-75 frontal is truly something remarkable though, although the 128 accuracy leaves something to be desired for a German tank.

T-50-2 is the best light by far. I have my highest total XP of any tank in it, and if driven well can actually be more valuable than most tanks. You are SO bloody fast and nimble that if you use terrain, it is almost impossible to hit. Further nothing is more gratifying than waiting for the enemy to spread out and charge into their base killing all of their arty and probably ending the game right there. I wanted to love Chaffee but it is kind of slow for a scout, and if I want to fight other tanks I would be in my mediums.

I have played TDs alot in clan wars, and I do not have much love for them. I tend to play aggressive or at the very least proactive, and heavies do everything a TD would but better for me. There is no doubt that the 704 and T95 are horrible things to run into, but their versatility is really limited without a turret. I understand why some people like TDs, but I am sick of them. The only exception for me is Hellcat, because Hellcat. 70km/hr w/90mm at tier 6; it may be made of paper but it will always be in the fight.

Last artillery is artillery. The M12 is okay. It is welcome since it is the first US arty where I actually felt like I could damage things. I have clutch turning which also makes it surprisingly survivable in cities, since as any arty player knows, always comes up. I want the T92 badly, but it is a slow grind given how little XP arty gets in general.

does anyone agree that there should be a gamemode more narrowed at the same Tier as the player is? like if the player is V the max tier joining in might then be VI or maybe even VII, lowest being IIV/IV? i mean, driving a Pz4 vs tier VIIII is not cool.

Omg learn the roman numbers  :o

But yeah, I agree, specially in situations where the lower end tank simply can't do anything. AMX-40 must be one of best examples for this. If it's guns can't penetrate anything, it will be totally useless cannon fodder and not even good for cannon fodder, as it is SO SLOW.

Yes I also agree with this, this is most common on tier 4/5/6 where you already end up against tier 9 :o.
I further also would like an system that doesn't trow you up against higher tiers if you just bought the tank.
Example Bought KV with 76mm and the first rounds where tier 7 enemy's :o where I would only get 100 ex per round because I couldn't damage half of all tanks. >:(

They've shown those year ago. Nice that they ACTUALLY are going to add them.
Regarding the tier system, they should drop it completely, it sucks, especially for a game like that with historical tanks etc. If you ask me , they(and other games of this kind) should go for "performance point" system, like in racing games (Forza, Gran Turismo). Where "class" of your vehicle is based on its calculated performance.
Oh, and they haven't fixed matchmaking since closed beta.

Funny thing. I used to play my KV-3 with 122mm gun and matchmaking was throwing me in all kinds of battles. Sometimes toptank, sometimes against tier 9. Yesterday I mounted 107mm on it and since then I have been in top5 best tanks on every battle. Does the matchmaking really take the gun into account or am I just being insanely lucky?  :o
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: LHeureux on 22-04-2012, 00:04:25
WoT uses a matchmaking based on your loadout.

When you start with a new tank they put you in high tier games so you will buy gold to have more exp quickly and upgrade your new tank that is crap with stock stuff.

Then when you get a better loadout they put you in lower games so you can say yourself "damn this tank isn't that bad after all" then repeat with next tank.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 22-04-2012, 02:04:52
Well, that would be the opposite of what he observed. But he put a worse gun on the tank and had enemies on lower tiers with worse performance.

The wiki states this:

Quote
Below are the rules for game version v0.7.2:

    Weight by Vehicle Tier is applied as follows:
        Tier 10: 100
        Tier 9: 60
        Tier 8: 40
        Tier 7: 27
        Tier 6: 18
        Tier 5: 12
        Tier 4: 8
        Tier 3: 5
        Tier 2: 3
        Tier 1: 2

    Weight by Vehicle Type is applied as follows:
        All heavy tanks receive 45% extra weight.
        All SPGs receive 20% extra weight.

    Individual Weights:
        Tier 9 medium tanks receive 45% extra weight.
        Tier 8 and 9 tank destroyers receive 45% extra weight.
        The AMX 13 90 is weighted like a tier 8 tank.
        T-50-2, VK2801 and Chaffee are weighted like tier 6 tanks.
        The PzKpfw 38H735 (f) "Hotchkiss" is a tier 2 tank with 233% extra weight, with 7 points it is weighted close to a tier 4 tank, but it is in the same battle tier as other tier 2 light tanks.

    Special Restrictions
        The number of SPGs in both teams cannot differ by more than 1. This includes the possibility of one team having no SPG and the other having 1.
        Currently there are no other restrictions in effect.



But I'm not sure whether that is really all or whether there are hidden modifiers for matchmaking. Sometimes it really feels like there are.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 22-04-2012, 21:04:28
Yeah, Dukat is right. Also you really have a play a lot of games before you can really even have a sample that indicates anything. It is not really that rare for people to have some long win (or losing) streaks.

That said, I would not be surprised if there were some hidden values. My own conspiracy theory is that some of the US guns (T34, M103) have really high dispersion settings.

Mmm... I'm around between 50-70'ish to 90 sometimes, but 90's pings only occur when the players number spikes. Like the anniversary, 100k+ peeps. I think.. sometimes it's at 45, I don't pay too much attention to it. I always run some streaming 80's and 90's music underneath too ;)

I guess I'm used to it or think of it as a main server or others' glitches. They are rare though. I'm a good leading shot anyway, because of FH2 bolt action xp.

Can't really say anything concrete about WoWP actually, I signed up with the North American Alpha by mistake so my ping is off the charts anyway LOL. I agree with Drew, it's pretty hard. I fly joystick now, but gamepad seems to be the way to go. Have yet to try it though. I don't even know if gamepads will be supported come to think of it.

Turning down camera sensitivity to 0 helps too. And the joystick gets rid of that second aim string to help you lead your shots. It throws me way off, I want an option to switch that off. Weird though, because in sci-fi flyers I have no trouble with it.

So it would appear that the EU server is currently off-line for patching to 7.3.  The next few days are going to be aweful: x5 1st win xp already has drawn the retards out of the woodwork, everyone and their mother is going to be driving the new soviet heavies (and no doubt failing hard in them), and on top of that, the Type-59 has gone back on sale for the week, so expect more packs of those.  On the plus side, quite a few tanks and all equipment are half price for the week.

So many idiots about.

Still, the IS-8 seems like an epic tank, zoom and boom.  Only thing is that it has a massive lower frontal plate that is made from papier-mâché or something.  I find myself with an overload of soviet tankers.  Not quite sure what I want to do with the extra tanks now.  Need to make some money so I can buy some half price equipment.

Also, had some epic fun derping with Kev and another friend in a threeway T49 platoon.  Those things are FAST.

If I'd reclass a tank in a higher tier, or equip it with a lesser gun than before, which is the case with most of them, that's pretty much a necessity...

Very high influx of idiots though, I concur. They had to nerf Type bad after the first intro. WG's biggest fuck-up. And now they sell it again. Bit greedy if you ask me.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 10-05-2012, 10:05:08
They did not really nerf the Type 59s stats, they changed its tiering. It is still a tremendously awesome gold tank, even after the 'nerf'. There is a reason so many people were clamoring for it and have rushed to buy it. As someone with the 59, Lowe, and T34; the 59 is the only one I actually have fun playing with.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Gezoes on 10-05-2012, 11:05:14
Technically yes, but a nerf none the less. On a premium tank. FYI: I have one.

I like it too. Trouble is, the clueless 7-year olds are getting one now, because they suck at everything else. Not just tanks. And that's bad news, since we are usually the fire department in a game.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 10-05-2012, 22:05:03
Well originally it was way OP, beating up on tier 5/6s because of its really beneficial matchmaking. So, I personally understand why the nerf was done, because those tiers were bad enough as it is. That said tons of morons in premium tanks is nothing new. Everytime a new premium high tier comes out there are a billion bozos who drive them into walls and make me hate life more than I already do.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 12-05-2012, 09:05:19
type 59 is still the best premium tank available IMHO, and it's currently rather cheap.

It had a decent gun, decent mobility and the best armour of a T8 medium. It's credit earings are the same ad that of lowe but the operation costs are significantly cheaper. Repair is cheaper, ammo is much cheaper (200 vs 1050 / shell !), and armour is much better as that of a lowe, so the tank is overall more forgiving.

The only high tier tanks i enjoy playing now is the Object 261. Russian heaves turned out garbage sadly. KV4 is great, but it eats money like a sink. Winning a game with two kills still makes you lose around 6-10k credits. It just doesn't seem to earn any money. KV2 is amazing too, KV1s is too just like it always was, buts thats about it for the russian tree. I started playing low tier tanks again.

I don't know, the IS-8 is growing on me.  I'm not playing it that much atm, but once I get out of the old IS-4 mindset and into the the mindset I use to play the T-34-85, it really starts to shine.

Really though, I'm smitten with the AMX 13 75.  I want to have its babies.  As soon as I got the better 75mm gun on it, it became a machine of epic raping.

Gets even better with the AMX 13 90. With that baby you can pretty much take on anything, put 6 90mm's into its ass or side and scoot away to reload and look for another victim :) I really really love it. Most of the time i sit at the arty for the first 3 minutes to defend them against enemy scouts, and then go straight across the map into the enemies back to shoot up the arty, the retreating and already damaged.

Prolly fragile hull, super slow reload but massive kapoof. Like a turreted 261 w/o arty mode. Already love to play it as a TD, so this should be pretty fun :) Althou I'm more interested in the mid tier tanks. Crusader III, Sherman Vc and Churchill ..

They could throw them into the next patch, because I think the Brits have been ready for a long time, but they won't. WG needs a carrot dangling so people stay interested.

Added two new combat modes appearing randomly: Attack and Encounter.

    Attack: one team defends the only base whilst the second team should capture it or destroy all enemy vehicles. The mode is activated for Erlenberg, Prokhorovka, Westfield, Karelia, Malinovka, Sand River, and Siegfried Line.

    Encounter: both teams try to capture the single base in the center of the map or to destroy all enemy vehicles to win. The mode is activated for El Halluf, Murovanka, Steppes, Ensk, Himmelsdorf, Ruinberg, Malinovka, Sand River, and Siegfried Line.

I would not go for the JT. Played it in the beta, and both other tier 9 tank destroyers seem much better. It has average everything - average gun, average armor, average speed... I'm sticking with my ferdinand right now, as I don't see the JT as a good enough improvement. The russian object would be a safer choice IMO. I personally prefer the T95, but a lot of people find it hard to enjoy that thing due to the 12 km/h speed limit.

Post by: hslan.Corvax on 04-06-2012, 03:06:03
JT btw is nice. I like it more than the other T9 TD's. First of all, JT smokes away the Obj. 704 on a 1vs1. JT deals out more damage and does that more reliably because of the insane pen and accuracy. The thing that i favor it over the T95 is that its much ! faster and more mobile. You can get the JT into positions where you can start shooting at enemys undetected with high accuracy where the T95 didn't even really roll out of base.
You need to get the roles straight. T95 is either a heavy lockdown or breakthrough tanks, whereas breakthrough and lockdown only really works on city maps, since its very prone to arty fire. Obj. is nice, but you know, the time you fire one shot and reload, the Medium tank hugs your side. In that time the JT can ditch out at least 2 shots, giving more chance to track or damage something important, and also can keep up with most medium tanks in case of turning.

Id say go for the JT, its a great tank, you just have to know what you use it for.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 05-06-2012, 06:06:43
JT kind of gets a bad reputation since it does not have the armor of the T95 nor the stealth of the 704; further the gun's damage does not seem as impressive. Still, it is a really formidable TD if played properly; mainly that means keeping the paper lower hull covered. The ROF is pretty good so it can basically rain a lot of death on multiple targets, which is often more useful than the slower sledgehammer of the other tier 9 TDs. It is somewhat mobile as well, which means you can at least help a push, which is something the T95 could never hope to do.

That said, I do not really see a point to TDs in general. This is from someone that has a T95 and a 704 with clan wars experience in both. A similar tier heavy will have a comparable gun and armor (if not better) with the ability to be far more effective with a turret. There is still a small niche for things like the 704, but in general I suggest people finish a heavy or medium line before starting TDs.

If you really like TDs and do not care about anything else, well power to you.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 05-06-2012, 12:06:34
lower tier TD's are completely different then higher tiers. JT is bullshit, ferdi is much much better.

Jt has nothing to offer, aside from its decent gun with good rof and pen. It's camo values are in some fields slightly worse then MAUS (!), so JT is always one of the first tanks spotted. Arty is a common problem, specially is they do early scouting on maps such as malinovka : it's possible to die even before you get into cover.

then the armour : worse then ferdi. Feri's weakspots are hard to hit, JT's aren't. It only has one good thing : good gundepression and good superstructure armour. So it's good for shooting down hills, that's it. JT gets beaten by as good as every other TD, T95 aside due to going 10km/h. In a 1V1 with objet, JT loses. I tried it serveral times, but gun keeps bouncing even on the weakspots and object just rips trough my armour. And object can also simply disappear even when he's 14m away from you ... really frustrating.

So no, I don't advise you to get it ..

Well naturally it is opinion, although a lot of people tend to support my rationale or hold similar views.  I am generally talking about end game tanks, since that is the goal of most people. Lower tier TDs are more competitive because they usually are more nimble and their guns stand out more for their tiers. The MarderII and SU-85 are arguably some of the better TDs in the game because their weapons are so effective for their respective tiers. Plus they are nimble with good camo. Unfortunately later TDs tend to sacrifice quite a bit from those earlier awesome ones.

Post by: hslan.Corvax on 05-06-2012, 18:06:53
Don't forget that the JT has the highest DPM in the game, before you start saying it has low damage.

Lufti, have you played the JT for some games ? JT smokes a 704 easy. JT can kill the 704 before it reloads the second shot. Done numerous times. Same goes with the T95. At a one on one, JT beats them all since it has the highest damage output of all tanks. Also, the thing why JT has a bad reputation is because people play it wrong. Mostly they try to peekaboo against other TD's, but the problem is that it looses precious time in the process, thus being inferior to other tanks since they can reload in cover and get back out on you. If you park the JT just where you are and start shelling the enemy he has no chance. You can take out anything except an E100 in a 1on1 since it has too much HP and too much DMG with the 150. But you can kill every other tank before they can kill you. To me it just sounds like you either don't really get how to play it or can't aim. A gun with nearly 290mm average penetration needs a lot of bad luck to bounce.

Also, camo was boosted a lot since those old came values. I can stand on open field and won't get spotted on 400. If I'm in a bush even a T110 next to me gets spotted first. And i don't even have camo net on it.

Trust me, i played the JT a lot and also the Ferdi too, and i find the JT to be superior in every way.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kradovech on 05-06-2012, 19:06:34
I dont recall loosing a to a JT one on one with my T95. In fact, I don't even remember it doing more than 20-30% damage  while I kill them down from 100%. To penetrate the t95 frontally, you would need to get close enough to hit the weakspots, as it has 300mm of frontal armor. I have not seen this happen, yet.

As for the object, what happens when he only pops out to take shots at you, rather than standing still, waiting for you to kill it?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 05-06-2012, 19:06:51
If a 704 retreats on you, you already won. If he doest stand still you even have extra time to shoot hime while he retreats and until he's in firing position again. It even gives you more opportunity to track it in a position he can't shoot you. Same goes for the T95. You can pen the cupolas at a good amount of range with the 128, also you can just shoot below the gun.

As i said, most people sadly have no idea how to use it and thus talking it bad :(

So, I respect the high tier French but don't play any French myself. I have an AMX40 rusting, but it's up for sale soon. I can't take the frustration of torturing myself up to tier 7, so I don't play them.

However, some US players on the test server have brought a 7.4 French TD to my attention. I think it was tier 4 or 5, but it has a huge sway of its gun before it has to adjust (=win). Good speed, good reload, plenty of ammo. I'll get back on it. It looks like a stretched out turtle with a nasty pimpleturret on its back. Can't be bothered for the vid now, too tired ;).

They say that although I hate the French tanks, this one has Gezoes written all over it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: blue on 05-06-2012, 22:06:49
Yeah, high tier TDs have a really difficult time disengaging given their lack of speed. Most of the time it is something you have to think about long ahead if you are going to survive a withdrawal. The T95 is so slow that most of the time wherever you go, you are making your last stand if it comes down to it. The Jagdtiger and 704 can get away assuming they do it before the enemy is properly on them. Without a turret it is always really nerve wracking to be barreling back knowing that if someone comes up on you, the chances of reacting in time are dismal.

 Also the T95 vs JagdTiger head to head is a no brainer. Of course the T95 should win, its frontal armor is some of the best in the game, and the JagdTiger does not have the speed to flank it. Basically the easy way to kill T95s is to flank them (duh) and if you cannot do that you should disengage and wait for a better opportunity, or for someone else to take care of it.

JT smokes a 704 easy

In a flat open field with no bushes maybe ... but ingame forget it. object will be invisible, you're light up all the time, even though you stand in a row of 6 bushes. Aside from that, even top gun still bounces of object even when aimed at the hatches ect.

Quote
T can kill the 704 before it reloads the second shot

if enemies stand still and are visible, then yes. but usually they don't. when they are spotted they move and become invisible again. and this is why object has a huge advantage. it shoots you once, you loose 900hp and retreats. bairly anything you can do in this dinosaur of a tank. Also when you're spotted, your a sitting duck for artillery as JT is simply to slow to retreat on time.

Quote
JT beats them all since it has the highest damage output of all tanks.

great damage output due to great rof .. which isn't always that useful. people will shoot at retreat making your rof useless.

Quote
Also, the thing why JT has a bad reputation is because people play it wrong

the reason why it has a bad reputation is because it has both bad armour and bad camo. One of both needs to be fixed !

Quote
Mostly they try to peekaboo ..

nobody does that with a JT ! that would be stupid.

Quote
If you park the JT just where you are and start shelling the enemy he has no chance.

sure he does :) . with the cammo value of a MAUS, he'll see you well ahead before you can see him. and your front armour can be penetrated by every tank that has a T8 gun, this means you can get penetrated by a tiger and surely every T8 tank. And having only 1800hp doesn't really help either. And this is in a FRONTAL confrontation, I'm not even speaking about getting flanked by those annoying AMX75/90.

Quote
If I'm in a bush even a T110 next to me gets spotted first

that's simply not true unless T110 is firing. T110 has better cammo modifiers then  JT as you can see here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au-0ejftw524dEd4a0hURjB3eTV5SE1vX1RBVlJDSlE#gid=2

I find the penetration of this gun only marginally better then that of the stock 128 tbh. basically, if the stock 128 bounces on it, so will this gun.

you claim I grinded the JT and don't know how to play as a TD ? oh please  ::)

Quote
Trust me, i played the JT a lot and also the Ferdi too, and i find the JT to be superior in every way.

I think quite the opposite. Aside from the gun and the amount of HP, ferdi is superior in every way. It has better amour, is a smaller target, has less weakspots, feels less clumsy. I like the ferdi. I don't like the JT. BTW, they are going to nerf JT next patch. more weakspots + expect to burn allot more .. because they are moving the engine transition to the front.

I have found the 6th sense perk very useful for TD's. If there is at any point a situation, where you are in a bush, trying to stay invisible, then this is of great help. You can stay in artillery's range and only move out of there, once spotted. So I would go for that as the first perk.
If you don't mind spending a little credits, I would start with some skill, repairs for example, as you can start taking advantage of that straight away. Once you reach 100%, retrain the commander and choose the perk instead.

I use the Sixth Sense perk on many tanks: tank destroyers, scouts, battle tanks and russian shortsighted heavy tanks. The warning comes early enough to make a quick swerve towards some cover, avoiding arti shells and direct fire sometimes.

However, as Sixth Sense is a perk, I'd use some repair skill. If your tracks are down on a tank destroyer like the Ferdinant, you need to quickly repair them. Otherwise people will put their shells into your flank.

Worse thing is when you roll top speed them someone shoots your tracks and you do a 90° turn to the sides...in a TD..

I was very eager to get my hands not he KV-4, and after initial hype it turned out pretty bad sadly :( Hands down the worst T8 tank around. Armor is completely weird, pretty much everything pens it. Also, the top 107 is really really underpowered for that Tier. Not really worth getting it. Fought around 30 games with it, then witched back to the 122mm. Dunno why, but i always found it more efficient.

Anyways, its sitting in my garage till 7.4, apparently there will be a major rebalancing of the KV-4. Lets hope it gets some more armor and the 130mm gun. Otherwise its pretty useless sadly :(

Yes, new tanks. Ok. And there is this.

The most drastic changes will affect the French tank tech tree. All light and medium tanks from AMX 12t (i.e. AMX 12t, AMX 13 75, AMX 13 90, Lorraine 40t, Bat Chatillon 25t) will be raised one Tier upwards. The light tank ELC AMX will be added as a  new Tier 5 vehicle with 75 mm SA32, 75 mm Long 44 and 90 mm D914 mountable guns.

AMX 13 90 is already rated like a tier 8 in matchmaking. I'm not sure whether the change will make much difference.

Overall, the AMX 12/13 is an easy opponent. Whenever I encounter them I expect to win the battle. Especially when they are numerous. After they rushed and popped away, easily beaten by any tier 8 tank, the leftovers in their team are usually short handed.

So the AMX 12t will probably get the top 75mm from the 13 75, while the AMX 13 90 will get the short 105mm, the Lorraine will probably have its current 100mm with improved stats.  The AMX 13 75 will probably get something in-between the 7.5cmL70 and 7.5cmL100.

In other news, FV4202 likely to be British T10 medium, and eventually the Germans will get the Leo 1 as a T10 medium (with a separate medium line off of the VK3002DB).  The E-50M will have the same armour as the E-50, the T-54 has thicker frontal hull armour than the T-62A will have.  The T-62A will not have the 115mm smoothbore (this is the new cut-off line apparently).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 12-06-2012, 18:06:04
I think that the T10 meds will only get minor buffs over the T9's. Probably only HP and slightly better armor, but nothing game changing. Whereas the JgPz E100 looks like a massive improvement over the JT. At least it will go into a whole different play style. Now it relies on massive damage rather than accuracy and fast rate of fire.

The reason is is because the T-62a is not the T-62 MBT.

To modernize the T-54 and T55, several projects where initaited. The obyect 140 and 165 where modernizations of the T-55 with a new turret on a larger chassis with new suspension, a 100mm D-54TC gun with new stabilization systems. These where cancelled but a small production run was done wich became known as T-62a

The other project was obyect 166. This became the T-62 with the 115mm gun and the 20 000+ produced

Encounter is pretty good, but Assault needs a lot of work. Assault on most maps is basically a gift to the defenders, since it is rare to see any really competent teamwork in pub matches. Hopefully they fix it, because it is really souring a lot of people on the mode.

My favorite part is the ammo storage in the front.  ;D

The devs have said it will eventually be in the game, probably on a new medium tree following the VK 3002DB. It can work assuming they go the Patton route and give it a lot of soft stats. If it was a fast, accurate on the move, L7 cannon, mounting tank it could be okay. Since mediums in general are not really great at taking hits. People will bitch no matter what because they hear Leopard I and think Leopard II and really impressive armor; not really taking into account that due to hollow charge weapons being so effective armor was considered to be of low importance at the time it was produced.

This was indeed the germans and french point of view yes. The Leopard 1 and AMX 30 where all designed to be very mobile, fast, and mean dead accurate with a powerfull punch. And they did that. At first our minister of defense, crembo wanted to get rid of all tracked vehicles, included the 280+ leopards we have. But heavy protest has led to 40 leopards to remain in service.

Yeah, they are strange times. I know the Dutch have phased out their Leopards, and I think among smaller nations it will probably be a trend given the expenses involved. In America we tend to allocate so much of our money to the military that our problem is having too many toys, and well no healthcare or social services. I could rant about this country forever though, so I will keep it that.

More on topic, I am skeptical on how they are going to handle tier 10 mediums in the game. Given mobility is already more valuable than armor in most situations, it just seems like things can snowball with even more capable mediums. In clan wars we run a lot of T110s because they are basically giant mediums with bigger guns. If the Patton had similar health and a comparable gun in some way, we would probably shift towards a really medium heavy strategy.

Imagine a swarm of Patton 48s/T62As backed up by some Batchat 155s. You probably would have one of the most fluid and difficult to stop attacks imaginable, since your whole team could basically go anywhere on the map they wanted with massive firepower.

Devs will probably have to rebalance the T10 heavies since I'm also pretty shure that the new T10 mediums will outclass the T10 heavies

What? Also you should mount vert stabilizer on the BatChat, since it is more about movement. It can make shots at range, it is just really rare to be stopping long enough to actually do it.

Yes Bat Chat game play which I use unless i need to for example get hill on Mines is let the enemy get engaged. Roll In behind. Fire 6 shots and GTFO. You cant snipe with a Bat Chat or any of the high tier french tanks really.

Leopard Style would be completely different, flanking enemies and engaging at range.

I found it quite surprising they are using the same matchup system for that attack/defend mode. I assumed they would give the attackers higher tier tanks and maybe more tankdestroyers for the defenders. Something like that.

Though I have to admit I have managed to lose some of those maps as defender. And won some as attacker. Still it seems that defenders generally have the upper hand, as one would suspect.

Except in Sand River. You basically have to attack as defenders otherwise the attackers will gain the 2 overwatch positions which are at the normal mode bases.

Hello  ;)

since my FH2 is broken (well PB is...) I decided to install this game to see.

I managed to get to PIV. Is it a good choice ?
I also kinda like the hetzer, how is the stug in comparison ?

I tried the T26 and it was just awful, T46 is also a disappointment for now =/

Hey hey hey, you look familiar  ;D

P4 is a good tank depending on how you want to play it, can play sniper, or close up doom machine

Hetzer is fun, it bounces many shots, STuG doesn't bounce many shots, but the firepower is good if you play it right. I thoroughly enjoyed Ger TDs.

Yes, T-46 sucks.
I just got the best gun for it, and have everything but the engine, radio, and useless autocannon. (and obviously next trees)  Its fast and evens out at 52km/h with the stock engine and good tracks. Can penetrate some things, but you are better off playing hawk behind a heavy like a KV to swoop in and steal kills/hits.

Goodjob on the P4 though, how did you managed to sanely get past 38nA? I've just got it and am upgrading it, but dislike it a ton.

Post by: corsair89 on 03-07-2012, 22:07:48
Hmmm I've spotted some 38nA with "FH2" on it yeah...

Aha, I just played round after round (something like 80) to grind enough XP with this tank. The main problem I got was that I always was against higher tier tanks. The 50 mm couldn't penetrate anything and scouting was generally short lived. But against low tier it was really fun.
I agree though, it was really long and frustrating.

On the other hand I really have fun with my elite 38(t). Mostly ending in low tier matches, I found the 47 mm just insane for sniping.


For the t-46 I went for the 76 mm gun but it's soooo damn slow to aim I can't hit shit =/ But it seems that every gun for this tank takes time to aim...I went for it only to get to T-28. I've seen many guys with it, seems to bounce many rounds too and have a good gun for its tier.


However, in general, I have troubles to survive battles, especially with 38nA and M5 (I like its howitzer though)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: :| Hi on 03-07-2012, 22:07:00
M5 works best with howitzer, loved that tree. I've got an E8 at the moment.

I'm running the 45mm VT-42 in my T-46, it had double the fire rate, 30mm more penetration, fast "lock on" but iirc 50 damage a shot, so half the power of the 76mm. I mostly run it because of the pen, lock, and fire rate. Much better gun imho
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 03-07-2012, 23:07:25
Hmm I thought about getting into M3 -> M4 or T1 tree, I fear the M7 would get into high tier battles and get shredded apart.

I will test the VT-42 by the way.

Yeah, the worst part about the 38nA is that is CANT scout. Its max speed it 45km/h and the turning radius is ont he same level as a KV or a Ferdi. The gun can't do much of anything either :I
Title: Re: World of Tanks

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE.

For the 38nA trolltank the following rules apply:

- Put on coated optics.
- Use 100 octane gasoline.
- Consider mounting a binocular telescope.
- Use 100% crew and teach all 4 of them camoflague.
- Enhanced Springs are cheap but pretty useful.

Hit the gas, accelerate to 50+ km/h and never go straight but steer left and right like you're a rabbit. When being spotted, go back to your base and use some hill to regain full speed. Then do another approach.

Another approach is to rush forward and hide in a bush.

If you're in a low tier battle, just haul the 50mm armor foward like you're driving a Porsche Tiger. Everything will just bounce off.

Conclusion: Fun for a lifetime.

Or just research the T-50-2 and have more fun while being useful without a ton of extra work. Seriously the NA is just not worth the work when there are so much better options. I mean Chaffee or 2801 are also more fun since they are at least battle scouts.

Also Marder II is the best tier III by far. Seriously the thing can hit incredibly hard above its weight, and if you have camo/optics it is even more ridiculous. There is a whole clan that just runs them with multiple people in the top 100 spots for win rates.

I guess I'm an idealist. I consider it really rewarding to score some points on a tank nobody is expecting you to achieve anything with. And as the Pz 38nA got enough speed to be used as scout, I have my fun as I have on all scouts in general.

Well I love the AMX 13 90 with the 90mm but I loved it already when it had the 75mm. But fully upgraded it is indeed much better. Now you have less mobility, less speed, less firepower all things the AMX gets its strength from.

Couple of weeks ago I got AMX 13 90 and after 5 days I had it elited. I think it really is much better, the 90mm simply has more power and the tank it self is faster with better engine. I really recommend to buy it.

EU, you will LOVE the AMX 90 once you get it. Not just that it gets faster, more powerful, more nimble .. it has the huge advantage of a big HP bump, which lets you survive much longer in combat. With 1000 hp you can mostly take at least two hits from big guns and still kill shit.

Where does the new engine fit into the T-43's techtree.  I hope used it to replace the T-44 engine and not made it require it first, because I'm not wasting 19k xp on an engine I'll unlock automatically with the next tank.  Still the worrying change is the change from the 175mm D10T to the pathetic 144mm D5T-85BM.  I can understand it on the T-34-85, apparently that tank is quite good already with the 85, but the T-43 is already mediocre.

Tier X mediums with ~270mm penetration guns with 6,5-9 shots/minute.
And Tier X TDs with ~300mm penetration and 750-1100 damage.

So right now skill has become quite irrelevant, it's just about who shoots first and who shoots the most.

Tested the T-62 and T110e3 out.

T-62 is just like the old T-54 was but with more hull armor, health, agility and rof.

T110e3 feels a bit like a better T95. Same armor, gun a bit improved dmg wise and double the speed (still 25km/h though). Have my doubts about it since it is basically a faster T95 so classifying it as a tier10? With the JPE-100 I see no reason to choose for T110e3.

They freakin nerfed it. I actually didn't even realize until I was in battle and noticed that the gun had no punch at all. When I finally looked at the gun I found some short barreled crap.

Sherman 105 is great, P4 104 is fun too, KV-2 is great as always but my fav lower tier derp tank is the T-34/57. So fast rate of fire, great pen, great dpm. Tigers just go down in flames in a matter of seconds. Just run around them spamming them with 57mm shells in the sides and rear. So much fun, esp. witht he Deadeye Perk where you got the chance for module damage with every hit.

Yeh the 57mm is no derp cannon, so no HE ;) Allthough i found out that derping with small caliber guns with HE can be mighty fun if you you is on scouts against arty. I LOVE the 37mm autocanon on my T-50. You can kill T5 arty in one single drive by, dont even have to slow down or stop, it just pops instantly in the hail of 37mm HE shells. Its like shooting a ton of firecrackers at the enemy, but it does hell of a damage to open cabin TD's and weak side armors. Fantastic. Sadly it doesnt work against anything higher than Tier4 otherwise, so i always carry AP too to machinegun down the T5 and T6 tanks i meet :)

Don't get your hopes up too much. It's a funny little tank and pretty awesome but it gets raped by matchmaking. At least half if not more battles are tier 8 or higher which obviously just sucks.


Meanwhile I've been playing with the Jagdtiger 88mm to fund the m48 and after having farmed 2,5 million credits in about 3 hours I can honestly say it's the funniest premium tank ever. Also one of the coolest tier 8, only just behind the AMX 50 100.

12,22 shells per minute for the win  ;D

Tier 8 premium + premium account.  I can get 60k on  really good Lowe game on a standard account.  If I had premium those would be 90k.  His figure is even better since his shells don't cost 1k each.  Best I ever mad was 120k I think, but the Lowe has been seriously nerfed in credit gains since then.  Still nice to have a tank with an accurate gun though.

In other news, T-44 with the 85mm is utter bollocks.  Still need 17k xp for the turret so I can put the 100mm on it and be able to damage other tanks.

Ye think I will go for T110e4 then. Just have to ignore my need to get a new tank :) Found out I am 110k away from the e4, a bit more then I thought. Think I accidentally transferred xp from it when it still was top tier >.<

But the e4 does look the best of the 3 although I cant get a feeling on how the T62 actually performs since all the retards complain no matter what.

Post by: Sander93 on 06-08-2012, 18:08:26
T-62A is fun, pretty good in randoms but you'll really have to learn how to play with it. Basicly it's the offspring of a T-54 and an E-50 and you will have to treat it as such: use as a support and troll tank and don't engage in head-on combat because the armor sucks.
This means that like the other supporting tanks, mostly all you can do is make a winning team win faster or make yours win when the teams are balanced. You can't really turn the tide in impossible odds like you could in a T-54.


As far as it comes to TD's, a turret will ALWAYS be better than a locked superstructure unless it has a very serious advantage.
The Object 268 has this in supurb mobility and firepower, but comparing only the E3 to the E4 you'll definately want the turreted E4.

Front armor is useless when your tank is generally too immobile to use it properly.

...As far as it comes to TD's, a turret will ALWAYS be better than a locked superstructure unless it has a very serious advantage...

...Front armor is useless when your tank is generally too immobile to use it properly.

Not always, I thought the Wolverine would be great, but turns out the T40 gives me more time to profit from the good aim and fast reload. Way more hits, more kills. They have about the same gun. Turrets on TD's tend to make me play it like a tank, which hurts the zoom time by a large factor and exposes me more often. I track better for some reason in my T40, even on T50-2's. I guess it depends on the player. My buddy performs great with the Wolverine, he hates the T40.

Front armor is always useful, especially on slow heavies, they need it the most. They usually back up out of a fight. Others can skid behind cover or run. Take the US T29, 30, 32, 34 for example. Too slow to run, but find it at the end of a street... nasty.

I have to say 7.5 is treating me well so far. I want my 55% 8)

On a sidenote, being a gamer helps of course, but two games in particular: FH2 for sure and Silent Hunter maybe.

Tracking targets, anticipating their probably location in 3, 2, 1, one last look at the moving target (SH) and away she goes. I kill a lot of scouts like that. That's no coincidence ;)

Back in June I tried the grind a Tier X tank in the form of the E-100, just so I had a tank that would be useful in clanwars (bear in mind this was started well before tier 10 M/TDs were even heard of). Needless to say its been the greatest waste of time since I grinded the US TDs. Sad face. I did start to grind the french TDs, however, just out of complete OCDness. Ill probably grind that along with the British vehicles when they arrive.

When I was grinding with the Pz38nA, I got the hetzer as well to easily jump into the TD tree. Currently the axis bias in my garage cosnists of a Leopard, a Panther and a Jagdpanther.

That feeling of relief when I finally unlocked the turret on the T-44 and could put the idiot gun on it.  Now I have 17k to get the LB-1, and 50k to get the second engine.  This is going to take forever, but hopefully won't be quite so painful as before.

The VK3601 isn't bad, it is some baby tiger. Unfortunately you offen end up being scout in tier 8 battles.

The VK3001(H) gets more tier 7 battles and is more agile, so I make more score on it than on the VK3601.

The Porsche VK3001 is the worst teathless waste of steel, but the Porsche Tiger on tier 7 performs greatest. My Porsche Tiger makes as much XP as my Kingtiger, while it still makes money in a defeat.

So currently, I'd skip the VK3601(H) if I were you.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 10-08-2012, 01:08:43
The VK3601 is the best german tier 6 tank, when you look at the basic data. It can be easily used as main battle tank in a tier 6 battle. Then it is the backbone of your platoon. With 100mm front armor, it got as much armor as the tier 7 Tiger. The acceleration is just great and it runs uphill as fast as others downhill, which compensates for the low top speed of 40 km/h. The top gun is tier 7 as well. I remember slaughtering heavy tanks while having TDs gnawing on my 60mm rear armor. And they all still died before I did.

Unfortunately you get barely a tier 6 battle with it. You often end up in tier 8 battles. So you won't score that much. Otherwise this tank is a great choice.

The VK 3001P doesn't excel at anything. The armor is only 80mm, and the rear armor is too weak for a tier 6 tank. The acceleration is just bad and you can reach topspeed only when driving downhill. It is too slow to scout, the armor is too weak to be a main battle tank and the gun is too weak to snipe from the 2nd line. On top of that that you end up as scout in tier 8 battles.

The VK 3001H is armored weakest, but got a good topspeed and good acceleration. So, it is an acceptable scout in high tier battles. Nevertheless you end up in tier 7 battles more often, which gives you a good chance to score as you got a tier 7 gun. So you can make some decent XP on this tank. As you're grinding the P4, the VK 3001H isn't really an option anyway.

So, question is, which way do you wanna go? Do you wanna get the Maus via the Porsche Tiger or do you want to get the Kingtiger and E-100? You can also develop the Ferdinant from the Porsche Tiger, though I consider the 150k XP a bit expensive.

If you grind the VK3601, you get a chance to unlock the Panther, while the Tigers on tier 7 and tier 8 are rather solid but average main battle tanks. If you go for the Porsche Tiger, grind the P4 long and make your ride on the VK3001P short.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 10-08-2012, 15:08:01
VK3001P is the worst tier 6 tank in the game. Its sucks horribly, the grind is one of the most painful ingame. If you don't have any modules for it, just forget this tank and skip it with free xp.

VK3601 is the best med of the line. good armour, good mobility. I never experienced any worse MM with it than with the other tier 6 tanks ...

VK3001H , can't really judge about this one. It's fine I guess

Official statistics used for tank balance usually take into account average experience per battle and win %.
Batchat stats have increased after its promotion to tier 10. Considering that it was the best tier 9 medium, odds are that it's going to get nerfed again.
The JpE-100 is the worst of the Tier 10 TDs, the Foch is the best.
The T-62A has a 115mm smoothbore gun model, despite the gun not being in the game, ever.
Bad pubbies are whining about the T-50-2 and telling Wargaming to remove it completely (which is hilarious).
Different tank wheels have different amounts of HP. Shooting into the front or rear wheel is thus likely to knock off tracks than shooting any other wheel.
The FPS drop from server side crosshairs was caused by a bug with AMD processors. It's getting fixed.
After penetrating the hull, your round can travel a maximum of ten calibers, damaging modules and crew on the way.
Official stats say that the Marder II is still overpowered, even after the patch.

Different crew voices for different nationalities are planned for 0.8.0.
0.8.0 is going to be a really big patch, over 2GB in size.
Currently applied camouflages will directly transfer to the new camo system.
The new render system will look about the same on old computers, but run faster.
The new physics will make it easier to push a light tank with a heavier tank.
0.8.0 is going to solve camera glitches around buildings.
With physics active, you will be able to shove lighter teammates out of the cap circle to usurp their cap points.
You will not be able to have one tank stay on top of another tank to avoid stupid situations with things like invincible MS-1s on top of Mauses. A tank on top of another tank will slip off.



A future patch will have a scout balance system, similar to the artillery balance system.
Multiple turret support is very low priority and will be implemented in 2013-2014.
30x30 battles on large maps are coming next year.
Dynamic stats in the garage are coming next year.
Wargaming tries to not swap engines completely, since the estimated cost of switching engines is no updates for a year.
Official XVM built into the game is coming.

The IS-4 hull will get changed into an IS-4M hull in 0.8.0. One of the projected changes is the removal of the iconic driver's slit.
The 50B will be rebalanced in 0.8.0 to not be completely useless.
A premium lend-lease Sherman with a 76.2mm F-34 gun is possible in the future.

I rarely play arty but I guess the tier 6 are the most fun. Sure, it's funny to do 50% damage to tier 9 and 10 in a bigger one but the only challenging thing about high tier matches with slow and camping tanks is the proper relocating. The rest is just point and click really.

I wouldn't invest in artillery anymore anyway because apparently the devs are working on a complete redesign. Tier 8 will become tier 10 (and MM will get limitations) and the money/xp gain will drop dramatically. They plan to still reward active and tactical players but they also plan to make it a giant sinkhole for the one-handed point and click players.

Get on the forum and find some contests, tournaments, etc... Once you've grinded a decent tier tank shop for a decent clan that holds land and you will get a weekly payout depending on attendence (how my clan does it at least) Those are pretty much the only ways.

Friendly advice, if you like French tanks go up the Light/Medium line or TD line. The French heavies are really unremarkable and very difficult to play without support. The medium line is excellent with really nimble tanks and autoloaders starting at tier 6; the end tier being one of the most fun tanks in the game. The TDs are equally potent if you prefer that kind of playstyle. I am pretty spread out among all the nations, and each has high and low points. You really cannot go wrong with US or Soviet in my opinion.

You buy gold or you earn it in clan wars. They have a bunch of payment options and you can buy codes/cards on other sites like Amazon.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 26-09-2012, 15:09:00
The AMX-50B just got buffed into heavenly shape (in 8.0) but it still requires its very own playing style and tactics. I'd happily recommend it if you're a good/very good player but if you'd estimate yourself to be average then it's just a sinkhole.

Personally I absolutely love it. The alpha damage of 1600 average makes it the only tank in the game that actually rewards flanking. If you'd drive around in a normal tank you can get 1 shot off before the enemy simply turn their hull. In the 50B you can take 50% of any tier 10 before they can react.

But I must remember you that I played around 500 battles in it and completely adjusted and perfected my playing style to this tank. It has epic potential, but it must be used right.

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind. French tanks are lovely, and i'm gonna go for them for a change, in my last WoT game i made a run for the T34-85, but it was a pain in the ass to get it fully upgraded, fun tank tho, but it always involved me into high Tier fights and gaining exp was damn hard. I dont want to go for Russians again, i feel like most of the players chose the Soviets... i want to be different.

What i'm planning to do is get a decent french tank, only upgrade to that one, invest all my exp and money into it. Now when im ready, i'll buy and research the rest.

Also i'll try to find a clan, i really need gold just for upgrading my garage, i've already ran out of slots... i might sell the Valentine, good money for it 200k.. but i dont know. Heh.

The French light line is really fun once you learn each tank pros and cons. You'll probably find the AMX 38/40 horrible, especially since they are reeeaaally slow, but in a good day the latter is a bouncing machine. I didn't enjoy the ELX AMX, couldn't bother to upgrade it but ask Corvax how it performs and he will be happy to brag about how he successfully troll big tier :P

In addition do not listen too much to people calling this or that particular tank a POS. I found that each tank can be enjoyable (except the Pz38Na) if you know your limits and the matchmaking is clement (both tier and team wise), the biggest enemy being your own team.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 27-09-2012, 01:09:20
I think the french AMX light/medium tree must be fun.

But besides that, it is always a joy for me to approach enemy french tanks in combat. French tanks pop away like no other. No matter what distance or gun, shooting at french tanks results always in a penetration. Especially the 40t Lorraine on tier 9 is an easy snack for every Kingtiger. Much easier than a E-50 or some T-54.

Make sure to start grinding crew at tier 5, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with others on higher tiers. I'd suggest you test the impact of crew skill on tier 4 already: buy a 75% commander and mix him with 50% crew. On tier 5 you should buy a complete 75% crew and grind it at least to 150%.

Most players actually take german tanks on the EU server:

Quote
Amount of battles per nation: 

    Germany: 37.32%
    USSR: 29.81%
    USA: 20.61%
    France: 11.17%
    China: 1.08%

Payment options for WoT are the best I've ever seen. It makes spending money a real joy.
For example, I used Ukash. I went to a store selling Ukash around the corner, paid 10€ and got a 19-digit number worth 10€. Chose the 9,95€ offer, entered the 19-digit number and 1 hour later I had 2500 Gold.

Once you got gold, you only need to spend it wisely and keep it for a while. Wait for a special offer on garage slots with prices lowered to half. Then you can spend 1500 Gold on 10 garage slots. You could spend 300 gold on 2 barracks enlargements (special offer) and use the remaining gold to dismount equipment (10 gold each) and test premium comsumeables or ammo.

Reality is only the best clans pay out anything worthwhile in gold. Even then it usually is at best enough to cover monthly premium with a little left over for xp conversion or crew training. Also said clans really only tend to recruit people with at least 50-52%+ winrates and at the very least one tier 10 tank. I am not trying to discourage you as CW can be fun, but it really only pays if you are in an elite clan.

Even then you will be expected to show up a lot if you want to enjoy a reasonable amount of the spoils. The clan I am in now has re-landed in Europe after being attacked by a concerted force that outnumbered us 8:1 for over 2 months. During the time we were off map no one gets paid anything as the clans leftover gold is saved for ammo to help us re-land. So in general serious clans really are about camaraderie more than earnings, as we have a number of people who support themselves so more gold can go to other clan members. We are back in Europe again pushing in, but there is never any guarantee we will succeed.

That was a lot of words. D: Outside of clan wars WG runs a lot of contests where they have pretty large gold rewards, so you might consider that as well. Long term I would find a way of investing some money in the game if you really want to make progress since it is free to play, but generally pay to win.

Yes, it'll be hard but not impossible. It may take months, or a year or two, but i'll be ready for such thing, i literally want to get to the top  ;D

For now i must concentrate on my French tanks, the H35 is doing a great job but it's not worth to have it on my garage anymore, the exp gained on it its a waste, i cannot convert it because i have no gold. I will sell all my Tier 1 tanks (Except for the LTraktor and MS1, legendary tanks for me) and free up 2 slots.. sell the H35 which is useless by now and make room for the next level in French tank tree. To avoid getting bored, i will also try to level up more on the French TD tree and perhaps advance a little on the Soviet ones. Perhaps i can gather atleast 25 gold to add an Argentinean flag to one of my favorite tanks  ;D


That's it!, i'm going to find a Latin clan. Latin guys always recruit other Latin guys because, finding a Argentine, Colombian, Chilean or any player from America Latina is "Rare". So we both have interests, their interests are to grow in numbers and my interests are gold, and perhaps friendship (?). Im a mercenary, i know!.

See, that is where you do a big mistake already. If you can't pay for gold, you will need a lot of silver. Especially to buy equipment, as you cannot afford to go without equipment. But also to buy an expensive tier 5 tank and a 75% crew. You'll lack money like hell.

The tier 1 tanks like loltractor and MS1 aren't bad, but don't excel at anything. They should be sold. Meanwhile the H35 is a pure killer, getting lots of wins. In your desperation for money, the H35 will be a much better moneymaker than the loltractor.

In this early stage of playing until tier 5, you need to determine your personal favourite tanks that excel at something. Firepower, armor, credits. Thus you can keep those tanks for grinding either money or crew (preferably both). Especially when you're limited in slots. And the H35 is standing out on its tier.

He said he has a valentine though, which even if it is a bad tank, it is a premium so should be able to make a reasonable amount of credits.  Not Lowe credits though.

Anyway, I have to play my first 0.8.0.  Already excited about the ability to never see the abortion that is Assault again, though on the minus side, the new techtree and research pages are even worse from a usability perspective than a knife with a handle made from another knife.

I have yet to play 0.8.
But some parts of release notes are worth quoting:

Quote
Game Mechanics:

    Now, up to 3 camouflage patterns (summer, winter, sand) can be purchased for each vehicle simultaneously.  When you enter a battle, the specific pattern will be automatically selected by the system to suit the map. If none of your camouflages are the right one for that map, no camouflage will be applied to the vehicle
    Having suitable camouflage pattern for the map now adds 5% to the camouflage characteristics of the vehicle for that battle.

[...]

PzKpfw IV:

    Turret Scmalturm has been changed to another
    Top gun 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 has been removed
    Tank has been rebalanced

They pimped the Panzer IV, it's incredibly mobile now with a high speed turret and the new top 75mm is basicly what the old one was. Not to mention they seem to have improved its matchmaking.

Had a win streak of 8 with it yesterday. 3-4 kills per round. Only tier 4-6 matches.

Anyway, 0.8.0.

Apart from the pain in the arse tech tech I really like this update. Of course this is coming from the CT version where I can actually afford the shit I want. Cant imagine grinding for anything atm (esp since the new russian TDs got properly shafted midway through the CT).

Again? humbug never stopped. Noobs never do ;). But the lost couple of months I started to play again I noticed there is still a small core that still plays regularly.

But 8.0 is awesome. The tanks feel a bit more like tanks now. Driving over small humps just feel so much better in a heavy tank  :) And the gun sounds are way better although for some tanks they sound way off.

Seems like the OS based limitations are gone. I can use max texture detail on Windows 32-bit, contrary to prior versions. After about 10 battles I get a notification that I ran out of memory and the game will need a restart. If I don't restart, the game crashes to desktop. I guess I can consider this a feature.

I love the new physics and broke my first track already when jumping off a cliff. :P

However the sounds worsen for me. The tracks sound like a contamination meter for radiation in Stalker. I was like omg, radiation, get the heck out of here. Then I got used to the track sound, but getting the feeling of constantly being followed by another tank, as the track sound comes from far behind.

I got the same feeling, now I'm always looking behind me to see who is following me...only to see that there's no one...

So after testing this new version more deeply this evening I really enjoy only half of this version. The physics is nice, it was really annoying to get stuck with your scout because of some small rock or whatever...however I carelessly charged some enemy, only to get destroyed because he was heavier. Need to adapt a bit ;D

I also feel like there's a lot more of smacktards bumping you with lighter tanks only so you have some penalty with silver and xp....

Graphics : hmmm meh ok so now I have 10 more fps even with advanced graphics but....I can't turn shadows ON so everything looks damn bright, especially the tanks. So for me it's really a step backward.

Tech tree : why change something that wasn't broken ?

Sounds : it seems I now have a potato gun on my Pz38(t).

Also got this "out of memory" message...at least that's better than with previous version when suddenly I had full neon-green screen at loading screen and sniper view ???

The new Pz IV loadout seems ok. I feared the gun would be useless but I still can penetrate enemies from the front...only encountered Tier 5 as of now though.

Well happy to hear I'm not only one with sound problems. Track sound always seems to come from left and engine sound from right.

So far, I haven't noticed any big changes to gameplay. Once some IS pushed my brother from cover and took the place for himself, so only one negative experience about physics so far.

It depends on the maps, but it really is a huge advantage that you can now simply slide off plateaus and run away with minimum or no damage, instead of being stuck there like in previous versions.

The only thing they need to implement now is shell absorbsion. If I hit a scout tank with my StuG E-100's 17cm shell I want it to be thrown away by the force.

Speaking of which, the StuG E-100 is lots of fun after the 8.0 buffs. They really improved the gun (aiming time, accuracy and reload) which makes it very deadly as long as it has friendly tanks to prevent enemies from flanking. Think I had something like 14 wins and 4 defeats on it yesterday, playing alone.

I don't get along with the new Panzer IV. Always ended up as scout in tier 7 battles. The gun is just a pain. How are you expected to fight a KV-1 or a T1 HT with it? I think about moving the crew to the VK2800. That has no gun either, but at least it got some speed.

I also found somebody stuck, so don't try this at home:

US tree is really ok now

T110 is the best tier X tank ATM
T110E4 is currently the only decent tier X TD

and all tanks on those lines are more or less decent for their tier. I do have a feeling their meds are not on par with the other nations though.

My prognosis for the brits : they'll suck donkeyballs. either a new french line with tanks that have no armour, or heavies that are far to slow to be decent. maybe tier V can produce a decent tank but other then that I wouldn't get my hopes to high for them. Maybe if you wait 12 months they'll fix them up to a reasonable level.

Lolwut, T30 was still a tier 10 with less HP and the T110E4 was overpowered as hell. They both got what was coming to them.

Only played the T95, T30 and the T110E4. Skipped the rest of the tree. They're all good fun. T95 is very situational though. T110E3 is basicly just an upgraded T95.

I don't know, I always thought the US tree was viable. US turreted TD's are the most versatile of any TD line, mediums have really good soft stats, the heavies are well rounded, and it gets the largest artillery cannon. There was not a part of the US tech tree that I ever thought was particularly terrible.

The mediums used to be my favorite, but the recent patch just knocked the hell out of the M48. :/
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 06-10-2012, 01:10:25
The US tanks have a general problem compared to russian and german tanks. It is their armament. Not only tanks but also all upgrades are classified by tier. The maximum gun on a US tank is always the same as the tank tier. A tier 7 tank gets a tier 7 gun, for example.

The german and russian tanks can be upgraded with guns that derive from the next tier. A tier 7 tank gets a tier 8 gun already. That makes them more powerful to beat their US counterparts. The only advantage for most US tanks is speed. But speed solely doesn't grant you a kill. For a noob russians or germans are better to start with.


Wait, don't do WHAT?!?

The heavies are blessed with top tier turret armor though. Remember that a T29 as tier 7 can still bounce a 17cm StuG E-100 shot if it's in hulldown.

I can't say anthing about the medium line as I've skipped those as well up to the Pershing, but the heavies (tier 7-10) are all very good.

This is simply not true. My  T28 Prototype has a tier 10 gun, while it is only a tier 8 tank. Thats pretty much the same as other nations. I recall this being true for lower tier US TD's as well.

Pretty sure it only holds for the Jumbo, Easy 8, T20, Pershing and T32.

Anyway, my WoT caused fatal freezes continue.  I've only played WoT once since 0.8.0 where I got to exit the program normally.  It seems no one else suffers from this.  I hope this gets fixed, because otherwise I'll have to limit my playing to very short periods (it generally only happens an hour or more in).

For me not paying for that game, "special ammo for credits" is interesting.

Although I´m pretty much out of money always despite having a Panzer IV for farming duties. It´s really hard to tech up getting only half of the xp and credits for each game. I´m still 30k exp and some mio. credits away from the Tiger after playing every now and then for a year. The Jagdpanther was cool but became boring... and then I couldn´t affor the Elefant. I had the XP but not 2.5 mio. credits.

In the latest version they also show you how much credits and xp you would have made owning the premium version, but I´m not going to pay for this. :P

Bear in mind that the credits you need to pay for each gold round will make them extremely non-profitable.  So I think what I will do is only carry a few and use them sparingly on hard targets.

Could make WoT fubar. Balance is not calibrated for gold ammo only. But like Eat Uranium sad its not gonna be profitable so all the retards (thats what I call the noobs in WoT) will not be able to use them.

And it wont make heavy tanks useless since it will be only used in situations the heavy tank is OP.

But wait and see what the test brings I guess.

Holy shit, this patch changed everything.

The game looks so much better, not to mention they decreased how much exp I need to move onto the next tank, its only 4k now instead of iirc 12k. They also added a gun or two and increased acceleration speed, this thing beats the shit out of things now.  ;D

FV4202 is basicly an upgraded M48 right now. Gun is better, almost same depression, better mobility and just a tad slower top speed. The armor is worthless ofcourse but then again, ever since 7.5 (introducing new insanely high penetration values) I'll choose mobility and firepower over armor any day.

So far I like it very much.


Not gonna touch the tier 10 heavy. Besides that it appears to be absolete judging from its stats (its basicly a 50B but without the magnificent revolver mechanism) it's so ugly I wouldn't even want to have to look at one in order to kill it.

The US tanks have a general problem compared to russian and german tanks. It is their armament. Not only tanks but also all upgrades are classified by tier. The maximum gun on a US tank is always the same as the tank tier. A tier 7 tank gets a tier 7 gun, for example.

This is simply not true. My  T28 Prototype has a tier 10 gun, while it is only a tier 8 tank. Thats pretty much the same as other nations. I recall this being true for lower tier US TD's as well.
Even so, most US tanks are underpowerd compared to there counterparts. The only thing US tanks had, was gun depression. Wich got severly nerfed in 8.0

I disagree strongly, outside of a few tanks, I can play competitively with any US tank in any line.

Also lol at the gold rounds for credits. Derp cannons will be feared again! I am not sure how I feel about the idea, since it just seems like a blatant cash grab to push people into premium accounts + tier 8 premium tanks.

I had far better results with the Panzer IV in the latest version than before. I hated it with the Schmalturm and the L70.

Now the Panzer IV is:

- Faster speed (50km/h)
- Has faster turret speed
- They buffed the L48 so I even think the thing is performing as good as the L70 did in previous versions
- Also it almost always gets matched in Tier 5 battles now, previously I could be sure to have to fight versus a shitload of Tier 8 tanks.

I definately have better killstreaks and a lot more wins with the new Panzer IV.

That's simply not true. US tanks have improved greatly since the release of the game. At the beginning of the year I would have agreed that the US tanks are all trash, but currently they offer one of the best TD's and heavy tanks. They lack in the medium compartment from the T20 on , I agree, but you can't be strong on all fields. I also did not notice any change of gun depression compared to the previous tanks.

Am I the only one who found that high tier arty simply kills any kind of fun ? I mean, 5-6 Tier 7-8 arty per sides makes heavy tanks, TD's and mediums(except BatChat) completly useless since arty have almost laser precision, huge splash damage and can easilly 1shot a lot of high tiers tanks. Most arty players only sees his ally T110 and E-100 as scouts for him. In North America player base is not that huge, plus most players left the game after a year. Instead of adding new stuff each months, why don't they start by removing/chaning their overpowered arty that kills any kind of fun ??

Yes, I mounted the 10,5cm L24 on the Panzer IV as well now. The standard AP ammo is useless, but the HE ammunition is great. Even on greater distance the HE ammo got enough punch to draw a significant amount of hitpoints. Even when facing a tier 5 or tier 6 heavy tank. It works like a charm.

Accordingly, forget the 7,5cm on the Panzer IV but try the short barreled 10,5cm.

yep, I use the PZIV as an oportunistic tank, get behind firendly high tier tanks, use them to recive the blunt of the damage from the enemy, and fire shots here and there to distract other tanks, its higly rewarding. And if you are top tier, nothing can survive more than 2 HE 105 mm shells.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 14-10-2012, 13:10:21

Its became a worthy tank

I am having awful luck with them, seems like I just hit spaced armor a lot. :/

Brit tanks are okay, I can see why they added the French in first. They look neat, but it feels like an alternative US line than anything really distinctive gameplay wise. The tier 10 medium and heavy are both solid, even though I really really really hate rear turreted tanks.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 15-10-2012, 12:10:58

Due to the game's mechanics I think, you have to avoid hitting any module parts. If you hit the gun, or the tracks and stuff, they will for some reason absorb HE shells. If you hit flat parts however that are purely armor (and ofcourse <210mm), you will do the full ~600 damage.

This means that Russian glitch tanks like the IS4 are immune except for ass shots, but on the other hand tank destroyers and German tanks (with their tall hulls and flat turrets) are incredibly vulnurable. Not to mention the French.

Cromwell is cool, it can keep up with T-50-2s. Most mobile medium tank in the game for sure.

Gun is pretty decent (accurate as fuck when fully zeroed in) and it has quite a lot of hitpoints for a tier 6 medium (750). All in all a very good tank for its own tier, but like all other tier 5-7 tanks it gets screwed over by matchmaking half the time which just really kills the fun.

Post by: hslan.Corvax on 16-10-2012, 00:10:33
So far all higher tier UK tanks are pretty sucky imo. On the other hand, the low tier ones are complete rape ! A13Mk1 armed with the BESA Gun is just insane, most probably the most OP tank every created. Even more OP than Tetrach on Tier 2. Also Matilda and Valentine with the squeeze bore guns are great for sniping higher tier tanks, plus they have some pretty though armor. Crusader is pretty cool too, very nimble and agile tank, gun is kinda random thou. Doenst want to pen T5 heavys somehow ..

Despite its flaws, I still very much love the M36. ONlt TD in that line I like better is probably the T110E3.

As for the British tanks, even though Ive had some fun with them (some of the mediums and ofc tanks like the Churchill VII) I just cant see myself playing them. Theres just one or two tanks that I would just flip my shit over if I had to grind with them (for example, the Black Prince. 17pdr as its TOP gun? not a chance!). In general the British heavy tanks after Tier VII just dont appeal to me.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 24-10-2012, 09:10:55
They seriously screwed up the Brits who are useless now (at least the higher tiers).

They have no armor, no speed, agility is quite useless because you can't get away anyway with only 40km/h. And on top of that all, they nerfed the HESH shells.
Each nation has a unique medium tree (and a heavy one to some sort), but the British are just of no use all around. They get outclassed by everything else.

Even in the test server its rare now to encounter a British tank.
Unless they bring in the Chieftain it's going to be the worst nation in the game by far.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 24-10-2012, 11:10:35
I haven't played them, but their stats do seem rubbish to be.

Tier X medium @ 40km/h => lol. That puts this tank in direct competition with the T110E5 and T110E4. and of course it has nowhere such good armour or gun as both those. If you lack speed as a medium you can forget it all together   
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 24-10-2012, 14:10:02
It had incredibly powerfull HE (HESH) shells to compensate, but these are premium shells and they got nerfed a lot. The only thing it´s better at than the other tanks is that it has 25t/HP and thus better mobility, but like I said that's pretty useless given the fact that it can't go faster than 40.

The lower tiers like the Cromwell and the Churchills are pretty nice, and so is the tier 8 medium Centurion Mk1. It's basicly a Pershing with the Panther II gun. But for the rest, they completely screwed up IMO. None of the higher tier tanks are good neither special.

BTW played some with A13 and the gun velocity is slooooooooooooooooow. Do not know if its a bug, but if you fire the howitzer on ranges of 300m it fires after 1 sec then you see the round fly and after more then 2 sec it hits. You can actually fire over cover with this gun since the trajectory is almost arty like.

I always platoon with fellow 65-75% win ratio guys so we are used to set any battle to our own hand.
Assault though was a bloody disaster each and every time. The whole concept is just retarded if you ask me; you cannot expect one of two evenly balanced teams to attack succesfully. IRL, an assaulting force would always ensure they had more artillery or tanks. Not to mention that some of the maps are horribly balanced / made for such a mode. Best example is Sand River where the defending team can just camp on that huge hill and oversee/snipe the entire map while being in relative good arty cover.

No, I will not ever play it again. Encounter wasn't that bad as long as we could convince our team to ignore the bloody flag but in that mode too you had a much higher chance to get a failing team than in standard.

One thing I like about the British is the low tier tanks with the 40mm PomPom. It is hilarious to hit people with it on a cruiser tank, sometimes so many times they panic and cannot even shoot you back. You can also plow across at high speed, which makes it pretty good.

I already found my two definite keeper tanks in the brit tree. Valentine and Matilda. They just rock Tier 4 so hard, and its sooooooo much fun to play them. Matilda can handle any tank that comes against it with the squeezebore gun. Its an epic sniper with very high shell velocity, accuracy and penetration power.
Valentine is a but faster, rocks great guns too and has very good armor too. Only very few T4 tanks can ruin your day, otherwise you are king on the road and nothing can pen you while you just shred everything with the super fast 2 pdr gun. So much fun to play it.

Give them a try, they are cheap and fast to research, but great fun :)

Premium Ammo is really great for german tank destroyers. The ammo gives you an extra punch on long distances, so you can penetrate tanks without getting seen. Problem is, there is a price to pay:

Ugh, they are so painfully slow. I personally love the A13's and most of the other Cruiser tanks. Blazing fast speed and lots of 40mm autocannon.

OK, I don't normally like to brag about my video game scores and such, but this was simply too amazing. 13 kills with marder II, 15 tanks damaged, so just one tank short of that impossible  tag challenge that they have going on. Long story short, you can nerf the marder as much as you want, it can still rape everything. You cannot kill, what you cannot see.

Post by: Kradovech on 11-11-2012, 12:11:49
Well, to be fair, I was going up against tier 3 vehicles. Since you need around 8000 exp in total in a tier 3 tank, 4000 for one battle is not that bad. I believe I have gotten more exp than that  with the marder actually, when fighting tier 5.

What I have been thinking from the beginning however, is that you should get more exp for doing damage to a tier 5 with a tier 3 than you get for damaging tier 5 with a tier 7 for example.

What was special about this particular battle, is I actually had to kill every goddamn thing myself. In the end we were 3 against 8, and one bastard just sat on the edge of a map, typing things along the lines of: " let them cap, no need to take damage..."

Try driving a Tiger with retarded turret and a fucking 75mm. You need some tenthousand exp to even unlock a proper (standart) turret and meanwhile you have to use the 88 which can´t even damage a JS2 from the side *facepalm*. Worst investion ever in the game.

I know and that's how I use them.

It just sucks that with ferdi I basically have to stay on path I chose at start, because it's too slow to go anywhere else during one match. With jagdpanther 2 I can repostion myself to other side of map if really needed. Obviusly this is less of problem on some maps like campinovka, but more on karelia or abbey for example.

I got problems with light tanks on all those standard heavy tanks as well. The KV-3 is the best example. Any light can screw you if you got no cover from other tanks. AMX 75 or AMX 90 are a big threat when being all alone. But I hate the ELC AMX most. It is so small, you cannot lower the gun enough to aim at it once it is next to your tracks. You'll just die helplessly.

They buffed the KT in the last patch by making the lower plate historically correct and thus smaller/more angled. Right now it's by far the coolest tier 8 again.

If matchmaking wasn't such a dick I'd be playing tier 8 all day long. They're really the most fun and balanced tiers in the game. The IS-3 has an amazing gun on a shit chassis, the KT is just great all around, the T32 has the impenetrable turret, the AMX 50 100 is tough to play but has incredible alpha damage not to mention most of the medium tanks are very nice and the AMX 13 90 is one of the best scouts in the game.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 25-12-2012, 22:12:56
Nope. I looked at the specs and abstained. The armor is bad for a tier II tank. Also comes with a tier I gun, tier I suspension, tier II radio (oh, really?) and a tier IV engine at a max speed of 48km/h. So, acceleration might be good. This indicates usage as a scout. Unfortunately the viewrange is short. Accordingly, this scout on tier II might be a waste of a - otherwise useful - server slot anyway.

IMHO the Tetrarch on tier II is 10 times more useful. Same (bad) view distance but higher max speed. Plus: the Tetrarch got a tier IV gun. That enables you to support your team from distance, taking out tier III and premium tanks from cover. Without having the need to spot on your own. Usually I use the speed to relocate behind the line to hotspots where extra firesupport is needed. Conclusion: If you still have your Tetrarch, give it a try on tier II now instead, but don't go on scouting missions.

Started playing again. Great fun with a bro. Much has improved, other stuff has become outright RETARDED.

+The Tier system now is awesome! no more getting crushed by tanks that's ten tiers higher
+Finally cammo. Bonus point for correct cammo! Roaring around with Tiger and Panther with ambush cammo is awesome!

-WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO THE DAMAGE SYSTEM? Penetration after penetration, but no damage. What is this abomination?
-I'm so tired of the soviet supersloped monsters that deal out 400 damage per shot that even a person with half a brain could own with. I can only penetrate an IS-3 1 out of 20 times from the front. ding after ding after ding. And if i manage to penetrate, I get no damage!

The Panther is always great fun. Roaming around stinging everything with it's "longbarrel is long" 75 mm KwK 45 L100. How's the E-75 vs the KT?

E-75 is a KT on steroids and best T9, imo.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 12-01-2013, 11:01:55
E75 is still, without a doubt, the best all round T9 in the game.

The IS8 and STI are not as armoured as it. The KT beats them despite having a weaker gun
The M103 has a great gun but its armour is buggy and not as solid as the E75
The AMX has a great gun with autoloader, but the shots can bounce off an E75. The E75 will never bounch on it
The Conqueror has to weak hull armour, its always penetrated there.


no, E75 is the best.

Just got the Panther and it´s a joke... I know later the penetration and rate of fire is good and it should be used as a sniper. But the damage output per shot is awkward and grinding though the thing with the regular L/70 and Ausf. G turm seems impossible. I also need the tracks first. The Penetration of the L/70 is pityfull in tier VII battles. Any tips for grinding through to the L/100? I can´t seem to use the thing for anything, neither scouting nor for fighting.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 12-01-2013, 14:01:10
Use the 88. It has nearly same pen (you wont notice a lot of difference), but higher alpha. Im my opinion the better choice, because damage = XP
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 12-01-2013, 15:01:59
no way. The L70 has ALLOT higher penetration then the 88 since patch 8.0 .
Stick to the L70, it has higher pen, higher ROF and is more accurate.

And if it can cheer you up: the panther is currently the best T7 medium in the game. All the rest is crap too, but the L100 makes the panther shine !
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 12-01-2013, 16:01:25

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 13-01-2013, 02:01:01
Panther is a joke, agreed. If the Panther is the best tier VII medium, then I don't wanna testdrive any other medium tank at all. The crew on my Panther was for once on par with my crew on the Porsche Tiger, but now it drags behind.

Overall Panther got no armor and the L100 draws little damage. Still the shells bounce off too often on long range, and the short reload contributes to these bounces. So you can't really snipe from distance, especially versus heavy tanks, tier VIII and above. But if you get closer, the bad camo value of the tank exposes you to enemy fire. The Panther is like a skyscraper, you cannot hide it.

I grinded the Panther upgrades on a previous version, so I used the weaker 8,8cm with good success. At least it really draws some damage compared to the 7,5cm. What worked best for me, was rolling with other medium tanks, Type 59s, if possible. When it comes to speed, you can almost keep up with them. So, you'll be tail end of the pack, while the Type 59s usually get the beating first. Well, and then you just roll in and circle/attack enemy single tanks together with the Type 59s.

Shows that the game does not display the real value of a tank properly. IRL the panther was great, as it could penetrate on distance, disabling an enemy with a single shot. But in WoT with its system of hitpoints and damagepoints, this advantage is gone. Panther would only be great in Sudden Death mode.

Some months later, after little break from wot, I thought I'd try to grind myself to T-44. Couple of game with T-43 and I fell in love.

T7 tanks are really a joke tough.

Tier 7 medium tanks are joke. Not the tier 7 heavy ones. Tier 7 is the clandestine star among the high tiers. There is very small distance between tier 7 and tier 8, if you pick the right tank. When facing a tier 7 and a tier 8 while being a tier 8 tank myself, I hammer the tier 8 first. The tier 7 will get spared. That is a plus for tier 7.

My T7 Porsche Tiger got 1450 hitpoints, my T8 Kingtiger got only 1600. My Porsche Tiger got 200mm front armor, my Kingtiger only 150mm.

Several nations got these armor haulers on tier 7. Americans got the T29 (279mm turret armor), Brits got the Black Prince (152mm front armor).

Now imagine who will rule a tier 7 battle. It will be these. (Not a Panther.) And in a tier 8 battle they're still good. No wonder I got more average XP per battle on the Porsche Tiger than on the Kingtiger.


On a sidenote: I'm grinding both the british Valentine and the Matilda. Contrary to others here, I'm not happy with the Valentine. The Matilda is much better. Nothing can stop a Matilda in a tier IV battle (except M8A1).

Tier VII isn´t that good. The Panther is hard to grind through and doesn´t deal damage, the Jagdpanther was acceptable at the end, although also a pain to grind through and the (real) Tiger I is okayish at best with 100% crew and the autoloader. Nothing really exciting. I´m having the most fun in Tier V vehicles - SU 85, StuG, Panzer IV to name them. The relative experience and money I earn is a lot higher in this Tier. It seems to be best balanced and because the vehicles are faster the game seems more fluent.

Also doesn´t the Tiger II still have more protection than the Tiger P because of the slope?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 14-01-2013, 00:01:24
It has much more protection. 230mm average protection on the hull and that very effective turret armour.

armour issent everything. The gun is what matters. And i always loved the KT 's 10.5CM  ;D   KT and E75 are my best T8 and T9 HT.

Post by: Paavopesusieni on 14-01-2013, 06:01:40
212 mm of protection with crappy lower frontal plate and gets oneshotted by artillery or takes full damage because of crap side armor with no absorbing tracks.

IS-3 is better in every damn way except accuracy. Best tier 8 by far after millions of buffs it has received it also bounces like hell and turret is impenetrable even in high tier games. Tiger II is the worst tier 8 heavy currently and that can be easily seen in company battles. Only IS-3s and T32s.

The IS-3s biggest weakspot is the turret. Shot the upper plate, everything goes through. Best T8 atm is the T32. It facerapes every other T8 tank, is low, is mobile, epic turret armour.

Post by: Sander93 on 14-01-2013, 21:01:00
Tier 8 is IMO the best and most fun tier in the game. Pretty much all tanks are balanced yet are very different from each other. T32 has the epic turret but nothing else, the KT is great all around, the IS-3 has the tier 10 gun on a shit platform, the AMX 50 100 is incredible 1v1 but tough to play properly, the British one sucks dick but hey it's British.
The TD's have big guns but are limited by either low mobility or little armor, and the mediums are pretty balanced too.


The Tiger II remains my favorite mostly for historical reasons. It's really good after the 8.2 lower plate buff.

Tank destroyers, medium and heavy tanks never go in a battle 2 tiers higher then them. This doesn't apply for light tanks and artillery. Balance is still not perfect but way better then before.

But I have always loved the T32, it is truly epic.

Currently grinding the PzIV to get KT since I hear so much good stuff about it. Plus the fact its a KT! But its a long grind to get it. The PzIV so far is ok with the 105mm :). Only downside is the matches are usually full of beginners that have no clue what they are doing. But I think the VK36 is just horrible to grind ones I reach it.

Well, ''engine killed'' is simply a rather limited term still used by the game. What a frontal penetration 'killing the engine' really resembles is a hit in the front mounted gear box or transmission.

What remains a mystery though is how such a hit would be able to set the tank on fire, and there has never been a fix for it or even any recognition from any sort of developer.

As every stock tank, it's difficult to do anything with the 3601 at first. But once it's full, it's a great tank. Good for sniping but also quite mobile to allow flanking. You can even act as heavy if you're top tier.

Post by: Kradovech on 15-01-2013, 17:01:33
A very simple tip to anyone constantly getting stuck in the grind for better equipment: save your free experience, don't use it carelessly. Never use free experience to research the next tank - as a general rule a fully pimped tank is more fun than the next tier tank with low tier equipment. I personally only use free experience for tracks and, if nessecary, turrets, so I don't suffer a drop in firepower, when going 1 tier higher. Sometimes, if the gun is extremely useless, I also use it to research a better one, though that happens rather rarely. In doing so, I generally have a nice reserve of free experience, as I move up different tank trees.

Basic stuff really, but I have found a lot of people don't follow this strategy. Instead they research the next tank as soon as the free experience allows, and are then stuck cursing at their newest purchase.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: THeTA0123 on 15-01-2013, 18:01:34
Another +1 for KT is that it is not as painfull to grind. you have as a stock gun the 8.8CM L71

Compare that to the stock 122 of IS3 and the horrible 90mm on the T32...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 15-01-2013, 18:01:53
Except that for the T32, you should already have the 105 mm from the T29.

Horrible patch. Clearly only made to please the Chinese consumers.

the only thing in it are the new Chinese tanks and arty nerfs. No new gameplay, no new maps ... just a copy of the USSR tanks.

And arty nerfs don't even fix the problem : we want arty limits in the game. these nerfs simply mean nothing, only makes playing arty little more annoying (the only thing that changes is that now every tank can one shot it, so arty can't even try to defend itself in a TD role).

And they should instead  finish off the tank trees that already ingame (like the Brits) before focusing on new nations ..

Well I had my fair share of this game again. 88 bouncing from any Russian heavy tanks side (JS, KV-1s etc.). Not even slightly damaging ISUs frontally and of course my Panther with 3/4th of health gets one-shotted by that ISU. I wonder what makes them so strong? Oh, the power of Soviet stickers on your vehicle 8).

Not going to be able to grind through the Panther this way. I got 200 XP last match.

Penetration is what matters. Keep your distance and panther aint So bad.

IMo they should have added a middle 88mm into the game. For the jagdpanzer, VK3601 and Panther tank.

Something around 175-180mm penetration. Slightly reduced ROF tough because DPM wise, the 88mm L/56 is the best

Lufty : Did you see that new contest concerning Chinese tanks ? Did WG see that nobody care about this tree  ? They decided to put shiny gold to attract players on these tanks with a top 100 "max XP" contest fo each Chinese tank

On the 75 vs 88 debate : On Tier 7, that you have 150 or 132 mm of pen is not enough anyway if you want to engage tank from the front. And if you're close enough to shot at weakspots...then you're too close and will be destroyed quickly. While I prefer the 75L70 on the VK3601, it becomes a joke on my 3002DB. Now that I have the second turret and the 88L56 mounted, I perform way better because at least I can deal some real damage. And 132 mm is enough if you shoot the flanks or rear, which is what you should do with a medium.

Chi-ha is a problem on tier III and is definitely OP. In the old days I could just advance in my PzIIJ without worries of getting penned. Now WG comes up with a tier III tank with 80mm of penetration => WTF. My little tank is getting raped from all sides. There is no doubt this thing is the best tier III in the game, so allot of players are going to keep it aswell. I guess the trolling people with a tier I gun-days are over for me :(

And Chi-ha should be a premium tank in the first place. Silly WG giving a Japanese tank to China..
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 17-01-2013, 13:01:19
Well, i think the Jap Chi-Ha will be the ShinHoTo one, with improved hull. Means it will have 50mm armor with the setup for the rest of the tank. Prolly lifted to T4 and go. You trade armor for higher battle tier.

I for myelf just spend all my credits to pimp out my Chi-Ha to the max. Vents, Optics and GLD. Crew just reached 90%, so there is still room for improvements. But ill definitely keep it, nothing beats sniping a T1 or Churchill to death with a T3 tank :P

Weirdly there are a lot of people saying its shitty because it has low armor .. They obviously dint get how to play that tank. Chi-Ha is on par with the Luchs in terms of OPness. Luchs has more armor and more speed, Chi-Ha has the better gun.

Mh, I saved some money and I´m planning to make my Panther more effective... what do you recommend me to install on the vehicle? I´m planning to install the gun-laying device (faster aiming) and the gun-rammer (faster-reload)... I don´t know what I should install as a third part. I´m tending to the binoculars but I´m not sure. There´s also another device that enhances view-range. Then someone told me he always mounts the ventilation system on it... I´m pretty much confused what

If I´m going to play it as a sniper I´ll need some more vision. Are there other good playstyles for it?

Well if you wanna be a snoyper i would advise the periscope (24% extra vision range when stationary)

I did the same thing with my Lowe. Camo maxed out, Camo net, Extra ventilation and then this periscope. I could snipe many tanks from long range without being detected.

Ventilation is always good. As it increases +5% for every skill. If you have to choose between -10% loading time and +5% increase of every crew member skill, i think the choise is obvious XD

Started playing 2 days ago as Folgore22.

Loving it so far.

Just played this round:

7 kills and still lost...

Had 10 rounds of ammo left when I got killed.

Assuming you are new to this game (not just new account), I think it's kind of funny how even "total noob" can be good, with little of common sense and gaming experience in general. There are so many bad players in this game and most amazing are those that actually grinded their way to higher tiers by making suicide run on every match.

It's not that people are that bad, it's that the game wants you to be bad... All that random-chance-deviation-penetration-visibility bull****. Ridiculous... But I guess it works as the game is advertised as that... At least I don't see Butcher complaining about Axis tanks being useless, and Shermans boucing everyithing, like in FH 2.... :P

Well as the game is as it is, it's very easy learn. Heck, once in middle of match someone knocked door and my sister was walking past me, so I told her to play rest of it while I go to door. I basicly said, "shoot red, wasd moves, click to shoot" and she got one kill, stayed alive and my team won. She never plays anything apart from some facebook games really. That's how "easy" it is. Yet so many people suck, but I guess someone must be at the recieving end of my barrel  ;D

WOT doesnt allow you to be "SUPER GOOD"


inofficially it has been proven that people who win to much get into a matchmaking wich is much less favourable to them. Less powerfull tanks, increased chance of richochets and module damage.

Its one of the reasons why people keep playing this game.There are very few people under 47% win ratio

but few above 60%

You must understand that extending your view range does not make you see enemies further, it only makes you SPOT them further.

Draw distance = 500m in x or y, it works out to be further for diagonal
Spotting distance = 445m max
View range = depends on skills & modules & equipment and consumables.

For the maximum distance that your tank can detect an enemy tank = 445m is the limit, you wont detect an enemy tank beyond that.
But - greater view range increases the range that you can detect a particular tank towards that 445m limit.

Everyone has the same max DRAW range, which is 500m.
The max SPOTTING range is 445m

Draw range is a 500x500 square around your tank, that's why sometimes you can see tanks that are on the other side of the map behind rocks and whatnot. The thing with having a better VIEW range makes you able to spot enemies before they see you.

Having more view range is useless if the enemy is already spotted by a friendly for exemple, but I'll show you how usefull it can be with a little drawing.

inofficially it has been proven that people who win to much get into a matchmaking wich is much less favourable to them. Less powerfull tanks, increased chance of richochets and module damage.

I base my tank choice on this. I always start with the tanks I need to grind. Because as soon as I won a couple of matches I get into a absolutely unfavorable match with really bad players (600 rating/43% ish) in my team vs good players (1600+ rating/56%).

I also noticed that when I have a tank with really good ratings at some point I start to lose everything.

Example:
Got the Comet at 90% victories. I got that down to 70% by losing everything I played after reaching 90%. Hadn't played much on the Comet but to change from winning everything to nothing is kind of suspicions. Specially since its not the first time this happens.

But the XVM discussion is going on since its creation. Only think it does is to give a indication on who to trust and not. Its mostly right about the really bad and the really good players. But in between that is a really grey area that can go both ways.

1) World of tanks is complete shit in comparison to FH2. And everybody knows it´s supposed to be just an arcade game where tanks from the early 1930s fight versus tanks from 1955 - sometimes in the Himalaya ::). Who would have high expectations about that?
2) FH2 has so many realistic elements, from maps that are as authentic as possible, to equipment that´s exactly where it should be (no Hetzers for Normandy etc.). What´s so wrong about having the expectation for an authentic tank system then? ;)

I got the Panther, its crap, but I'm still grinding it because I expect the Panther II to be even worse on tier 8. On the 7.5cm a gun rammer is pretty useless because the gun got a very fast reload already.

In order to understand this, you need to realize, that the aiming process is related both to the reticle (drawing together) as well as the time you aim at a spot. I can only explain with examples.

Many people complain that the first shot never penetrates. Especially on low tier, you'll find many people wasting their first shell on a random spot, because they try to get rid of the cursed shell. The observation is basically right, but the conclusion is wrong.

When people do their first shot at a target, their guns are loaded. They wait until the reticle has drawn together and shoot. What they get is a bounce. If they would have waited 2 seconds longer after the reticle had drawn together, they would have gotten a penetration.

So there is more that affects the penetration than the reticle. The question, whether a shell penetrates, depends (besides crew skill, distance, armor, angel of slope, shell type, enemy motion) on the aiming, which consists of two factors: reticle and extra aiming time.

But back to the example: after the bounce of people's first shot, people keep aiming at the target while reloading (most likely with the reticle being closed). This aiming ads a couple of seconds to the aiming of the gunner and the next shot will be a hit. Because now the 2 factors come together. Not only a drawn together reticle, but extra aiming time.

On the Panther you'll find, that a gun rammer will have the gun loaded before your aiming is finished. Thus you'll get tempted to shoot early and cause a lot of bounces. Accordingly you could easily use ventilation instead of the gun-rammer.

This is my Panther:

training camouflage on a panther crew is a pure waist of skill :). It has no camo value and camo skill only percentage wise increases the stock camo value of your tank. But on every german tank past tier VI, the value is so low it really isn't worth it.

Also what seems to confuse many people is the loader's safe stowage perk; it doesn't increase the ammo rack durability. The only thing it does is lower the chance of a fatal explosion but it won't change the chance for module damage itself.

Post by: Dukat on 05-02-2013, 02:02:32
I did not retrain the crew for the Panther. The crew was never meant for the Panther but for a heavy main battle tank. Actually, the crew meant for the Panther didn't finish training in time and is still running the VK3001(H).

(http://oi50.tinypic.com/2b1fm8.jpg)

However when it comes to camo vs repairs, most people pick repairs, but I never did. I can use my repair kit in case of emergency. I prefer not to be seen at all.

Overall the Panther got a bad camo value, you can't hide it. But when you stay far behind, your shots tend to bounce. Accordingly Panther is no great tank for me.

You're mocking me for the fact, that I do not properly remember the names of the shell types. There is standard ammo, which might be called AP, while the high penetration ammo, aka Gold ammo, gets called... whatever, I don't care. It is a piercing type as well. Obviously the standard ammo can't knock out the KT, because the value of 1150 isn't high enough. Now go, mock somebody else, or I might remember your shortcoming in english grammar again. /rant

Obviously the standard ammo can't knock out the KT, because the value of 1150 isn't high enough. Now go, mock somebody else, or I might remember your shortcoming in english grammar again. /rant
what the fuck are you talking about.........

Post by: Dukat on 18-02-2013, 00:02:40
I say that the gold ammo can kill a King Tiger. Thereby I accidentally mistook the names of gold ammo and standard ammo, as I consider both types 'piercing'. Now you prefer to be the smart one, telling me that I mixed up everything, though it is obvious that the standard ammo with its 1150 HP damage cannot kill a King Tiger. Accordingly you ride the fact that I called the standard ammo AP ammo, though I meant the gold ammo. So you tell me repeatedly that the AP ammo cannot kill a King Tiger, although I pointed out that I mixed up the names and basically agree with you on the facts. Accordingly you're mocking me, pointing out my mistake, trying to show that my intitial claim is wrong, even though I tried to explain. But maybe I should not overrate the words of a masterspammer, who's primary purpose of posting is not to add reasonable comments but to simply relieve himself of his huge amounts of thoughts.

You know what: I'm overreacting. You are right, I am wrong. Maybe I had a bad day. Maybe its my problem. All fine. I still like you. Was never meant to tread on your toes. I was just screaming out load, as I felt trodden on mine. Looking forward to chit chat with you tomorrow. :)

When did you last play, was it before or after the physics update? If it was before, the game is bit different now, so yeah, give it a go. If it was after, its pretty much the same game with a few more tanks. If you feel like getting more of the same action, go ahead.

They already ruined the Pz.38nA lately. Now they ruin the VK2801. Actually my Pz.38nA does 62km/h. And I must say its too slow in order to dodge shells. VK2801 with 60km/h? Clown on wheels. Like they want even more people to run those french, russian and british high tier scouts that feel like cheats anyway.

A decent match will bring in 30-40k non premium. Going to buy lowe tomorrow. I hear it is a credit FARM!

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 28-02-2013, 12:02:12
nope, jt88 is one of the best credit farmers in the game, and lowe is actually the worst tier VIII premium tank in therms of income. The problem with the lowe is the cost of 1000 credits/shell compared to 250 for the 88.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Grim on 28-02-2013, 14:02:50
Ye allot of people dislike the Lowe and they prefer the T34.

Which I completely do not understand. With premium my income would easily be above 100k credits. Its gun is insanely accurate with avg dmg. Its my most played tank. Have to admit does 100k rounds are rounds I do good but I have them allot in the Lowe. T34 on the other had makes more if you have a good round I just have less of them.

All in all you will hear everyone praising different premium tanks. Follow the masses and don't buy the Lowe. Follow me and buy one!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Eat Uranium on 28-02-2013, 16:02:12
In my experince, the income from the Lowe is pretty hampered by both the 1k ammo and my lack of premium.  I'd say I average about 25-35k profit per match.  However, I'm not as enthusiastic to play it as I once was - owning some high tier mediums has given me a need for speed.  I have more fun playing with my Pz V/IV, which probably makes about the same profit (over time, not per match).

Thing with super pershing seems to be, that if enemy actually knows how to fight it, they most likely will win. If not, I bet my money on super pershing  :P.

It's a completely new branch. It'll start around tier 6 (VK3002DB v1) and have the old VK3002DB (V2) at tier 7. Then IndienPanzer (some kind of medium Löwe) at tier 8 and a Leopard prototype at tier 9.

There will also be a light tree up to tier 7/8 that will probably merge with the new medium tree (like the Chinese).

Post by: luftwaffe.be on 05-03-2013, 15:03:39
the only thing they can do is either let the price stay at 85credits (hence I'll lose 3.3M credits), or force sell the shells in depot at purchase price (they have done before when changing guns).

But honestly, I hope they do nothing so I can get some extra free credits.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 05-03-2013, 19:03:31
Any other price than 240 silver means that the cost of this shell will be different between the two servers, as the russian already got the 8.4 update and made good profits with this.

Alternatively if you don't want to gamble, buy the Luchs for 39k credits and sell it for 77'500

profit = 38'500

Additionnaly, the PzKpfw-IIL-Großturm will go from 4'700 to 10'500 credits

profit = 550 credits per turret (110% profit)

But yeah, buying those HE shells means 150% profit !

I think i made the right choice by going trough the French light tanks, currently I am at the last WW2 Light Tank, AMX-40. I like it, i went to battle against Tier V tanks kind of things... normally i would die because my armor cannot resist many shots from TDs and my gun would do nothing against Churchills or KVs and stuff like that but i managed to destroy 4 tanks which is a record to me.

However, i feel that my next tank wouldn't be as good as i first thought. Anybody had the Tier V french light tank? I'm also going for the Chinese T-54-like tanks.

Also

Will the Italians and Japanese get their own tech tree?

The tier V ECL AMX is a good plane  ;)

Seriously it's good, it's profile is low, it's super light (7 tons), fast, and can fit a 90mm cannon on it, the only major problem : it has an angle like a TD.
Title: Re: World of Tanks

Well that 90mm thing is indeed good news.

Still there's a long way to go, about 14.500 exp for the tank and +200k to buy it, let alone the retraining of my 100% commander which is fighting on the AMX-40 originally trained for the AMX-38.

So, has anyone experience how to get rid of it quickly?
Title: Re: World of Tanks

Scout. It'sa scout tank, so that the only thing it can do. Spot as many tanks as you can during a match, then get rid of it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 20-03-2013, 01:03:51
I wanna report about my expiriences with the german scout tanks since 8.4. Basically, because I dont even feel like driving them anymore.

Currently for me 9 out 10 battles on the Pz.38nA are tier 4 or tier 5. No chances to scout, because the enemy got fast moving turrets that can properly aim at fast moving targets. This forces me to fight head on. My biggest problems are Matildas, tankdestroyers, heavy tanks, basically almost everything. The list would be shorter if I'd name what I do not have trouble with. A complete waste of a 350% crew.

Then they moved the Vk1601 from tier 4 to tier 5.
On tier 4 the Vk1601 was a well armored brick, though not very agile when turning, but with acceptable acceleration. Plus: it was very overweighted and thus good at ramming.
Now the weight is only average and doesn't give any advantage anymore to compensate for the lack of agility. Compared to other tier 5 vehicles, the armor is rather weak now, while I'm always sat as main battle tank versus KV-1 and other tier 5 heavies. The horrible results are forseeable, even though they gave the Vk1601 a 4x4 revolver cannon with acceptable penetration. Problem is, that the reload is ridiculously long, while the damage is low. The 75 hitpoints damage drawn by the 4 salves versus a KV-1 with 30 seconds reload afterwards are not acceptable at all.

Finally they did the really worst to the Vk2801 by moving it from tier 5 to tier 6.
Before it was an improved version of the Vk1601. Very heavy and good at ramming, more agile, topspeed of 72, only the guns available being a bit weak.
But now, the weight is only average for a tier 6 tank, while the topspeed was lowered to 60. It feels like I'm crawling slowly across the battlefield, becoming an easy target for everybody. All those tier 6, tier 7, tier 8 light tanks of other nations eat me for breakfast these days. I'm constantly running from other light tanks while they had to run from me before.
Examples?
I had a 1vs1 encounter with a tier 5 chaffee during a battle, and the chaffee won despite me ramming him.
I'm getting sat versus Vk3001H, Vk3601H and other tier 6 tanks, which of course is ridiculous. For example: The Vk3001H has a topspeed of 52, which is pretty close now to the topspeed of 60 on the Vk2801. But it also has similar view distance, a good gun and acceptable armor at almost the same agility. Why on earth would somebody play a Vk2801 then?

Besides, I think they lowered view distances on german scouts again. View distance was always on par with meds and heavies from the same tier, now it is rather behind.

Accordingly, I think about boycotting german scouts for a while. They can only get better again in the future. Playing them now is a waste of time.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 20-03-2013, 08:03:39
Well, I see your point. I only want to get the PzIV and lateron the original Tiger I (I've heard it is not so good but it is for the looks and the myth :P). The Pz38 nA really has a hard time to do anything as Dukat stated. The A20 does pretty much everything better than the Pz38 nA.
Another question: Can someone tell me how to deal damage with the 47mm of the B1? It ricochets 75% of the time (not on the T28 but this one even gets beaten by a Pz38nA :P) It has a good rate of fire and precision but I don't know what to shoot if the enemy tank is more than a light tank. I always stay behind and try to defend the arty. When I play with higher tiers I can aswell leave the game because then I got nothing to compensate for the low penetration. I've heard the BDR and the PzIV are pretty good though. The T34 that follows the A20 seems not be that brilliant. I don't see many on the battlefield.

It ricochets 75% of the time (not on the T28 but this one even gets beaten by a Pz38nA :P) It has a good rate of fire and precision but I don't know what to shoot if the enemy tank is more than a light tank. I always stay behind and try to defend the arty. When I play with higher tiers I can aswell leave the game because then I got nothing to compensate for the low penetration. I've heard the BDR and the PzIV are pretty good though. The T34 that follows the A20 seems not be that brilliant. I don't see many on the battlefield.

With B1 you really have to go for cupola, drivers view port or simply get to sides. Some british tanks have weakspots on gun ports, because they don't have mantlets. You might also want to shoot enemy tracks because B1 has fast gun, so you can spare few shots at tracks every now and then. But yeah, against higher tiers it is in support role. If I ever deside to get french heavy tanks, I'd probably just grind my way through with gold ammo  ;D.

T-34 is quite nice sniper tank. Nothing special, but certainly not bad either. Also, note the "-"  ;). T34 is american heavy tank  :P

Torenico : ELC is basically a hit'n run scout. It has to be played as an annoying mosquito that just fly around randomly and shoot the ass of the big guys. Never stop, know the map very well for possible bumps or whatever that could destroy your tracks. If you're hit, you're back to the garage.

The main problem is that the turret doesn't really turn so you can't circle an enemy. Shooting shouldn't be the priority. Instead running across the map and lighting up as much as possible the enemy team greatly help your own teammates. And look for opportunity to come from the back of someone to shoot.

Corvax : chat is shared by the two servers but for platoon you need to be on the same server. Strangely enough, my ping seems to be worse now that there's "less" people on the German server. EU1 is the server for CW btw.

Only tip I have is to get over them as soon as possible. The B1 is a pretty cool tank, otherwise fun starts at T5 for the French line. Everything below that is just bad.

Just got the D2, it's painful, i got into a fight against Tier V, no Tier IV and a very few Tier III.

To make things worse i don't have premium, so i can barely get 150exp each battle because i can't damage or kill enemy tanks... it's like walking on fire.

As far as I know, the B1 has the same armor as the Premium B2, except you can meet higher tiers. However, if you are in a T4 match, the only thing you have to fear is the Matilda, which you can't penetrate even with gold shells, and derp Hetzer shooting gold (well...ok everything that shoot gold can pen you in fact). But apart these two you can be the king of T4, just aim properly at weakspots.

At least I'm quite successful with the B2.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 22-03-2013, 20:03:46
It's sort of ironic : the B1 has one of the lowest stats on the server while the B2 has one of the highest. The B2 has the advantage though that it'll never face T5. But other then that it's the same tank, but without the hull 75mm howitzer, which is only graphical..
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 22-03-2013, 23:03:19
The B1 is a giant arty cannon fodder. The 75mm is a big weak spot in the frontal armour. The cannon is far from being good but it is precise and fast so that you can disable light tanks or track heavier tanks if you aim well. Nothing is worse than the T28. At least that is what I like to think when I see this huge piece of scrap metal.
I heard that the BDR G1B is the first french tank to have a decent gun but lacks armour a bit?
And what about the Panzer IV. I see it getting penetrated pretty often. Is it good? Plus, I would love to see a Panzer IV with side skirts but we won't have it any time soon as it seems.

B1 is a great tank, i had well over 60% wins with it. I loved it. Its a 50/50 thing thou. If you get into a T5 game you cant do anything, but if you get into a T4 game you can utterly troll and destroy the whole enemy team. Its mighty fun to see everything bounce off you while you spit out shells at an enemy every 1.7 seconds :P Only dangers are Matilda and derp Hetzers. Otherwise nothing stands a chance against a B1 in a T4 game. I really enjoyed it to be honest and id recommend you to go get it.

So does anyone know anything about the premium British Tier VII tank destroyer AT-15A, thats on sale right now? I've been thinking about getting a higher tier pemium tank on a sale like this. On paper it looks like a slow well armored tank, with a "meh" gun. Now I can probably deal with the gun, if I won't get penetrated frontally very often. So does the armor actually work in game? What kind of match-up's does it get? What is the credit income like compared to other tier 7 premium tanks?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 23-03-2013, 19:03:02
Well, i wouldnt get it to be honest. Its pretty undergunned, and armor is only like meh. Its cool against noobs, but everyone who knows how to handle a tank going max 20kmh will take you down. Also, credit gain is low compared to other prems because of the low damage output.

Id get the SU100Y, that tank is an absolute beast of a machine. Currently ranging at 70% win rate in 80 games :O
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 23-03-2013, 20:03:24
I wouldn't recommend it either. Anyone who knows that the commander hatch is very weak will penetrate you frontally. And if they don't do that, they can always flank you because it turns like a brick. I would save my gold and spend it on something else, like the SU100Y

Well, the M5 is like if you get into T4 game you can do a lot of harm, but if you get into anything higher you are reduced to scouting. And you wont get into T4 games that oftent. B1 on the other hand is majorly awesome in T4 games and equally useless in T5 games as the M5, thou you will get a lot more (actually most of the time) T4 games. I really liked the B1, grinded trough it in two days actually since i always scored high XP's, and i really enjoyed it. Even keept it a while longer as elite tank to finish up the crew to 100% to use that on the BDR, which also was a great tank.

Well when they said that being a french tanker was taking a serious challenge, they didn't lie  ;D

However, i do take some breaks from them and my new love is the Panzer 38 (t), that thing is seriously a killing machine, i bought it yesterday and my stats are 25 battles and 29 destroyed (I think that's ok.. hehe), i love this little bastard, the 4,7cm gun eats whatever you have in front (except for kvs.). I won't sell it, unless necessary.

Most of the fights i get with the 38 t are Tier III battles, and i dominate.

Well i just bought the ELC AMX and it's fun indeed!

Of course you get one shotted by some tanks but what the hell! what i like to do is to annoy dem kvs

I circle around to confuse them, then i rush and park my tank next to him at the best possible moment

Naaaa dont exaggarate. The BDR and ARL are excellent tanks. Both of them. Sure they are painfull in stock config, but with top guns they are great. BDR has the best gun of any tier 5 tank, ARL has enough pen to deal with T8+ tanks on T6. They are far from torture. The M4 is like .. stepping in one place since its only an upgrate speed wise over the ARL, but as soon as you hit the absolutely marvelous AMX 50 100 everything will be forgotten. That tank alone is worth all the pain :)

Been a while since I grinded the Pz38t. Since then lots of chinese, french and british tanks appeared. But in those days, it was only average. An improved, uparmored version of the Pz.35t. But when compared with others on its tier, it wasn't that great. While the Pz.35t was actually great, when compared to its tier. Thus I kept the Pz.35t and sold the Pz.38t. But I admit, nowadays the Pz.35t doesn't feel that great anymore.

Why are you wasting a skill slot by training a perk?  Since they only work at 100%, there is no point training one - it is better to train a skill so you get the benefit, then retrain for the perk once you have 100% (a bit more if you retrain for silver rather than gold).

I know how to play as heavy, did it extensively during beta with the KV (the tank of the people?), that is why I am going for the Maus too, but that's more like a secondary objective. How is the Maus anyways? back in the days it was great, how about now?

However i suck as a scout, i need to know more paths, strategies, dodging and so on. It'll take some time and it'll be painful, but in the end it'll be rewarding. I try to spot, but since this is my first real time as a scout, well, i don't know the best places for spotting.

Maus is rather useless compared to any other tier 10 heavy. Its vertical armor is penetrated by almost anything if gold ammo is used and you can be sure that people will use gold ammo at higher tiers. It's slow, huge target for arty and the gun is not even that amazing, compared to E100, that just does everything as well as Maus, except for amount of HP.

Edit: This is my experience from opponents point of view. I don't have Maus or any other tier 10 heavy for that matter :P.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 25-03-2013, 22:03:47
E100 is miles better then the useless maus. E100 is more mobile, has perhaps in the current climate the best armour ( certain parts of the E100 cannot be penned vs maus can be penned everywhere and also has a better gun ever since you can buy goldammo for credits (sure they cost allot, but compared to the other shells, those of the E100 are "cheap").

Maus is a relic of the past. It fires slow, it moves slow, it had good armour but not anymore. Bullshit tanks like the new brit td will tear it apart in just 2 hits. It cannot hide, it cannot move, it cannot return fire. The only thing it can is soak up damage for the team. It cries for a buff it will never get.

If I train it to 100% and retrain with credits, it drops back to 85%. Thus I would have to train it to 100%+50% in order for it not to drop below 100% when retraining. That forces me to do much more battles for the same result. Especially on a standard account.

When I train a skill like repairs, just to change it to a perk once I received 100%, the handling of the tank in battle will change. I'll get a setback in repairs, which will annoy me then, even though I have achieved a perk in return. Instead I prefer a linear improvement of crew/tank performance without setbacks, even though I have to do without any ability for the time training the perk.

Title: Re: World of Tanks

Centurion Mark 7 is one of the best tier 9 mediums, the Cromwell is arguably the best tank in the game, and a guy from the Pirates had the highest tank efficiency score I've ever seen in the Comet.

I just bought the Centurion mk1 again today and the first 20 battles show it's 1.5 better than my other tier 8 mediums. 

The British are not bad at all, just... different. The Centurions are slow and big, but they deal damage like no other (due to high penetration combined with decent accuracy and aim time). The heavies I dare not say, they probably actually do suck dick.

Got myself a Panzer IV and a Jagpanzer 38(t). First one is really good. You can count on it. The second one is a really good tank but I am not into TDs.
Tomorrow, I will get myself a BDR G1B. I have heard it sucks until you get the 90mm. This cannon though is T7 so it should deal some damage.
Has anyone ever driven the Russian A20? It's quite a downgrade from the BT7. It's bigger, not that much faster and bleeds speed very bad when you turn. Acceleration is also medium. The best I could score was damaging a T29 from behind. Tier 4 damaging a Tier 7 seems quite good but it was pure luck.
Any tips for this one?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 27-03-2013, 01:03:25
A20 is a scout. I haven't played it yet, but you won't do anything wrong if you arrange tier 4 light tanks for scouting purposes. Tier 4 teaches you scouting.
You're about to realize that you can barely damage anybody with your tank, thus stopping, aiming and shooting become redundant. Instead you should just keep running and scout enemy positions for your teammates with the real guns. Without shooting anything but enemy lights hunting you or when finding enemy artillery.

For tier 4, 5 and 6 you're an easy target, but real high tier tanks turn their guns slowly, they will have a hard time hitting you. Accordingly battles like these are a real joy you'll soon be looking for. Plus, with all those monsters around, it will rain credits and XP on you, even if you achieve little.

Because it is a russian tank and all russian tanks are cheats. Especially dedicated scouts like T-50 and T-50-2.

When I play my german scouts, I get a hard time, but when I play my T-50 afterwards, I get Scout and Patrol Duty right away. I don't remember exactly, but I think I survived until the end. The lowest tank on the opposite side was tier 6.

BT7 still outclasses the A20 in scoutrole. The only thing it does not like are autocannons. Sometimes one shell is enough to brake the tracks and then you are easy prey. It is more agile than the A20 by any means.

After some pain and all that stuff, i got the 90mm for the ELC AMX. First thing i saw was a lone Churchill, he tasted my new gun but someone in a M4 Easy Eight or something got me before i could get the churchill, bastard was well hidden..

Should i keep a small number of gold rounds for the 90mm? for now I'm using standard ones

too bad it takes a lot to aim and reload


I need a third tank to compensate the frustration of ELC and B1... i think im going to buy the Pz38Na thing, or i'll go one more on the chinese.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 28-03-2013, 08:03:36
Don't buy the Pz38 NA unless you want the following Panzer IV. The latter is lots of fun. Pz38 nA does not excel in it's role of scout. It is not very fast but has a powerfull cannon (for a light tank). Problem is that you have to be on the move constantly and when you are far away from your target, you are dead because it is not that fast that most enemies would miss their first shot.

If you just want some fun, you could allways try german TD´s up to the Hetzer or maybe StuG. Easy to get and a lot of fun. Or try the T57 american tier 2 arty. It´s basically a TD with indirect firemode.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 28-03-2013, 16:03:34
The 105mm Howitzer on the Panzer IV is a lot of fun. You can ruin a KV-1S day with it, if you play well.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 28-03-2013, 16:03:24
I'll probably go for the PzIV, but the Hetzer is indeed one of the tanks i fear most, I'd love to use it one day... and it takes few exp to get, compared with the +20k i have to get for the next french light and the BDR lol

But yeah I'm trying to play different, if i wanted to win i would go USSR + Germany, from what i can see that is what nearly every player do. That is why i chosen China + France, with small progress on Germany because you simply can't say NO to German tanks

I need scouting lessons, i suck at scouting, im learning some scouting paths and spotting spots (?) but most of the time i get killed real quick. I see others scout so i can learn from them, so i follow, but they always get away while i get killed lol.

Hopefully with this 90mm i can sit back for a bit and act as some sort of TD.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Eat Uranium on 28-03-2013, 17:03:05
With the 90mm on the ELC, I generally will start the battle in TD mode, hanging back a bit and giving opponents heart attacks.  When things start to open up a bit, I switch over to roving hunter mode, where you use the speed, manoeuvrability and small size to get in amongst the enemy and hit them on the move from close in.  If you catch a tank on its own, you can usually facehug it and it won't be able to depress its gun far enough to hit you.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 28-03-2013, 19:03:17
When an ELC shows up, every gun is pointed towards it because you never know, the next 90mm might be for you :D Plus, it gives away your position to the artillery.

Don't even bother. The 30mm fires 3 duoshells, and take like 25 seconds to reload. it doesn't even do enough damage to kill one tier 3/clip, making it obsolete.

Okay I'm close to the AMX12t... looking at it's stats all i can say is, if i could replace this AMX12t with my ELC that would be awesome.

I'll probably miss this awesome 90mm cannon, it's fucking epic, never had something THAT powerful, i can get into Tier IX fights and know i can deal some damage.. i love this little bastard.

However, it's serviceable life is coming to an end, or to a limit. It will achieve elite status soon and, i believe my elite tanks are just worthless without gold, but i will keep it because it's a symbol of speed, mobility and power, a symbol of "Oh that's your T32? well this is my 90mm gun"... how many times I saved my friend and his crusader from the enemy... he also appreciates this tank.

I've watched some reviews on the AMX12t and it doesn't look that great tbh, the biggest downside is that the 90mm gun isn't in that tank and you get to fight with a much worse and innacurate 75mm gun, reducing your firepower A LOT. Plus i'll need like 67k exp which is too much for a non-premium player.


However, the B1 life is also about to end in my garage (YEEEEEAH!), which is great news. I still have 5k exp to go for the BDR (counting free exp)... i might stop playing a little with the ELC and go for the BDR at once, i want that tank with the 90mm killing machine on.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 01-04-2013, 20:04:17
First, go for the long 75mm,  and then research the rest. The long 75mm is ok until you get the 90mm. Don't even try to use the short 75mm, it is utter rubbish :P

Don't say that. All you need is patience. You've reached tier 5. This is a crucial point. On tier 5 you still make money or get at least no loss when you lose a battle. This will change. Repairs and ammo become really expensive the higher you get. From now on, your credit income will lower each tier, especially if you have no über-crews to keep up with gold aided premium players.

I also wonder how good your crews are. As you make negative money on high tier with standard accounts, you cannot afford to train your crews on high tiers. Especially as you cannot afford to buy additional slots in the garage. So don't grind all your vehicles impatiently to tier 7 or tier 8, but grind one vehicle to tier 7 or tier 8, while you keep the others on tier 5 or tier 6. Just to get an idea of your performance on tier 7 or tier 8.

For me it was rather shocking how bad my tier 6 and tier 7 vehicles performed compared to others. I had to rethink. My only option was to grind both money and my crews on lower tiers, bullying the newbies like I was bullied by the high tiers.

If you love the ELC and make some money while the AMX21t is worse, keep the ELC as a moneymaker, for gods sake. Reserve the slot virtually forever and put on some equipment. I'd really recommend improved ventilation, gun laying drives and coated optics. Not even speaking of camoflague nets and periscopes as they can be demounted without gold. Plus: Gameplay doesn't become more funny than on tier 5.

I play on a standard account for 22 month now, though I had the advantage of gold to buy additional garage slots and demounting equipment. But it got me to a point where I can keep up well with others.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 01-04-2013, 23:04:10
Torenico, if you love the ELC, keep it as the 12T is a real change in gameplay. With the 12T you begin the autoloader AMX branch.

The 12T has in common with the ELC that this tank (and its successors, 13 75 and 13 90) is a hit'n run tank. However, contrary to the ELC, the 12T has a okayish mobility but accelerates slowly. In consequence, while the ELC can just run across the map, the 12T is only a practice target for high tiers if you try to scout the battlefield similarly to its predecessor. Instead, you need to passively scout, hiding in a bush, spotting for your teammates, working as a TD. Once the battle evolves, you can then come out of your bush and attack lonely damaged tank, like a vulture. Accuracy is not that great, forget to shoot on the move if you're not in close combat. Unload your 6 shells into the ass of the damaged enemy, ran away to reload and do that again to another tank, circling it while it hopelessly try to shoot you.

The 13 75 is exactly the same, same gun with only more HP, but since you meet more higher tiers, you can't withstand more shells. This long grind only comes to an end when you unlock the 90 mm on the 13 90, which becomes slightly more agile, but far deadlier.

Imho, the 12T is good for its tier. I kept it while I quickly sold the 13 75, enjoying now the joy of trolling T10 with the 13 90. Main problem are :
- coming from the ELC can seem a big drawback. More passive scouting. But the autoloader open new possibilities, mainly to finish enemies.
- you depend A LOT on your team and on the enemy facing you. You won't stand a chance against 2 or more enemies  while alone since you can't take hits and you need to hit the rear or sides. However you can distract them, helping your teammates. You can suddenly come from unexpected positions and start hammering the back of this big guy that hold all your teammates, too afraid to advance.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 02-04-2013, 01:04:58
Thank you guys, I'll definitively keep the ELC, I can spare one slot for this awesome thing plus it gives me great results that i cannot achieve with other tanks.

My ELC has a good crew, both members are +90% and it does have a ventilation upgrade on. I have not mastered it yet, but I kinda got used to flaking tanks, attacking lone and badly damaged vehicles from the sides or with a very well placed shot from the front... So i have the basics going on and I should kinda well with the 12t, as they have quite similar tactics.



A series of very bad matches (thanks to matchmaking) prevented me to get the 12t for now, had a very bad day with very few kills and too many deaths that came in with tons of losses and few victories gaining low exp and money (even a ridiculous teamkill...)


Speaking about teamkills, I dont see that too often. But a few days ago i was playing with the ELC on Fisherman's Bay, my buddy told me about a teamkiller but i was too busy looking at the front and aiming at some heavies. I heard shots and explosions behind me.. barely 20m away, looked back and seen a friendly tank having a "circle battle" with a M5 stuart, which had a light blue name. I thought he was some kind of special guy, an admin or a super premium guy with a shiny new name... or an enemy... i inclined for the last one and turned around, opened fire and killed him (If he was a real enemy i would probably have missed the shot.. hehe)... my friend told me he was a teamkiller but i got no fine iirc :/
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: SiCaRiO on 02-04-2013, 01:04:07
blue names happen when someone makes a lot of team damage, you can kill blue names, they dont give you penalties for it
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: ajappat on 02-04-2013, 09:04:37
Btw, does anyone know how the teamkill mechanics work. How long it tracks my teamdamage, before resetting. How much I have to do teamdamage to become teamkiller and is this tier dependent?

I don't tend to shoot allies on purpose, but it's intresting how couple of time I have become teamkiller by doing just small amount of damage, like crashing into someone by accident. On such cases, I never remember me having done any team damage in resent past. On the other hand, I've had few cases where I killed friendly tank from full health to save my ass as they attacked me, but I still didn't turn blue. Does the game notice that they damaged me first?
Title: Re: World of Tanks

All I know is that you turn blue very much quicker if you team damage someone who is inside a flag circle (yours or the enemy's).

Now yeah, took a break from WoT and came back to finish what i started, gathering the cash for AMX12t, but instead i kinda got bored of being a light tank and get some assholes in my team to yell at me because I'm not scouting, so i won the EXP i needed and BDR has been bought.

The 75mm long can't pen too much, but once in a while you get a lucky and kill shot in a KV, some tanks are my nightmare like the US T14 and KVs too. I have just started my way towards the 90mm, got the turret and the tracks to make it possible, probably that thing will give me kills and the exp i need.

I've had a round with the ELC, i rushed towards two tanks engaging one of ours at close range, i shot while i was moving at a Stug, but i missed horribly.., however he couldn't shot me and i was ready to kill him when, i opened fire and the motherfucker BOUNCED from Stug's side. Fucking hate when that happens >:(

Post by: Torenico on 11-04-2013, 18:04:27
I'm frustrated, i hate the KV, i think it's kinda OP, or I'm missing something.

Sometimes i get my guy saying that we pen the target, but the loses no hp, that's bullshit, i had a KV1 in my sights for like a minute, firing either it bounced off or it did no damage but the guy said it did.

I'm tired of people yelling at me because i play as a camping heavy, fuck them, i barely have armor to withstand arty shots and they want me to be in the frontlines fighting against KVs and even higher tier shit so i stay back and try to snipe whatever i can.

So far this tank has been disappointing, seeing how your shots bounces off a PzIII and then someone else with a shitty gun gets the kill is frustrating. I just hope magic touches this tank so i can get a few more kills.

Either the tank is bad or I'm something wrong.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 11-04-2013, 18:04:07
Are you still talking of the BDR G1B? It is not a front line tank. You have to be a 2nd line tank. It bounces some shots but KV1s are tough enemies for nearly every tank I played so far. Which gun do you sport?
Any idea how to play the VK3601H to maximum effectivity? It's ok but the only thing I really want in WoT is the Tiger I, no matter how bad it might be. It's for the looks ;D

Post by: Torenico on 11-04-2013, 19:04:29
BDR yeah, it's the only tank I'm using atm, as i need about 150k for the AMX12t

And i bought the 90mm gun yesterday, i play it as a second line tank, pop out, aim and shoot, go back to cover. I know it, and very well, that the tank lacks armor and nearly every tank can deal damage at me ( the tracks are too exposed also), I also know too, that i shouldn't stay in a spot for too long or arty will know that I'm hiding there.

I just bought the engine (I didn't care THAT much for speed, i wanted the gun first) and will skip the radio, now it is time to make the exp i need for the ARL.

VK3601H is an excelent tank. If you angle the armour, the enemy will have a hard time to penetrate your front. Just dont take hits from the trollcannon of the KV-1S. I am eager to have my Panzer VI ;D

I also learned how important angling your armor is.

ARL-44, angled, get steel wall.

If this tank had a little bit of armor on sides, they would call it op. Last night, Steppes, half of the enemy team rushed trough these mountains, with a few of us holding out. 5 Kills, enemy attack stopped.

The 90mm DCA 45 gun is too fucking awesome. My goal now is to research radio with AMX12t and put it on ARL-44, also buy some binoculars too.

If you want to invest some more credits in form of equipment, I wouldn´t take binoculars for a heavy tank. I am doing fine with a Verti Stab/Gun Laying Drive/Ventilation/Rammer combination. Whatever is available for your tank. In fact, I use binoculars only on my T-50-2.
But could be different for other players, depending on their playstyle

Torenico, if you got 300 gold for changing your password, use it to demount equipment from vehicles that you are selling. Would allow you to demount 30 times. (If you don't need anything else desperately, like barrack slots on special offers for 150 gold.)
Buy the equipment only on special offers when it is half-priced. But equip all your vehicles now. You'll have to grind your moneymakers a bit to afford equipment. But on that occasion, you can grind the crews as well.

Okay, I'll see when there will be discounts on garage slots or barracks or something else. For now I will be keeping it, there's no need to spend it like now.

The Binoculars will be for the AMX12t, as I'm more of a passive scout rather than suicidal scout and since they are not complex i can use it on the ARL-44 if i needed them.

Post by: Sander93 on 20-04-2013, 14:04:06
The Comet and the Centurions are tough tanks to play, but once you figure them out they can become one of the best medium tanks in the game. They have great gun depression along with a solid gun mantlet and turret armor, combined with a gun that has the penetration of one tier higher. As far as support tanks go, these are the best of the best.

The result is that my Centurion Mk7/1 has an efficiency score of 2600, which is insanely high.
I ended the Centurion I grind with 2316 efficiency (!).

I still hesitate to switch my BDR G1B for the ARL 44. Is it good?

As far as I know, BDR G1B is one of the best money makers in the game, unlike the ARL. Both tanks have the same playstyle, like the BDR doesn't have very good armor, you have to hide a lot and shoot when you can hit something. The ARL can take much more beating but still has weak armor and in Tier VIII fights you really don't want to get hit  ;D

At first, the ARL will be painful, as many stock tanks. Good thing is that you already have a 90mm gun unlocked so that will make things easier. The turret has a massive weakspot. Then the next 90mm is not that bad, i scored quite a few kills with it. But the real shit comes down with the 90mm DCA 45, look at it's stats and you'll see it's perfect. I think it can pen pretty much everything. So it's like this: Turret > 90mm F3 > Tracks > 90mm DCA 45.

So yeah, play as support, sniper,, go to the frontlines when your team is winning, make them waste a shot by showing your tracks first, they'll most likely shot at it because it's "an easy target", use your repair kit show up and make him pay. Only use this tactic when the enemy tank has low HP.

When you are top tank, you're boss.

These are my stats with ARL44
http://i.imgur.com/Nt7bopF.jpg

(Funny how i got Spartan, I was the last guy on my team and the enemy was capturing, on that Ice map. then a M3 lee spotted me and shot my frontal armor, i had 10% left and it bounced. Poor guy didn't stand a chance against my 90mm gun ^^)

I said that the BDR G1B was my favorite tank, despite it's flaws, so these are my stats:
http://i.imgur.com/4NXhR4B.jpg

You can clearly see now, which tank is my favorite ^^

I think I'm a bit mad that i haven't got Top Gun in ARL-44... I have the gun to get it, but it's just not happening, 5 is my record overall with ARL-44

Tier 7 mediums are first "real" mediums. Before that, the games are somewhat noob friendly and you can just drive around, shoot things and not rally care. T20 is excellent medium tank, but you have to learn play it like you'd play any other tier 7 or higher medium (excluding germans maybe).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.totaler_humbug on 20-04-2013, 19:04:29
Actually I would consider the 90mm of the T20 the best gun on a t7 medium in the game (haven´t played chinese). The penetration and the damage is just better then everything you will find. The long reload is compensated by awesome gun depression.

Are you sure? Just today I drew about 700 HP from a T20 in a 1vs1. I was in an american Tier 5 T1 Heavy Tank with 27 HP left and I almost got the T20, while his shots bounced off me, one after another.

Well, if he didn´t managed to damage you, he either had a stock gun, or just sucked donkeyballs. T1 Heavy shouldn´t be the slightest problem for a T20 with top gun. Either way, he did the mistake it just shooting it out. That´s actually to worst you can do, as the T20 has no armour at all and quite a long reload. It´s much better in taking potshots and unaware enemys from concealed/covered positions.
Anyways, if you want to platoon a little join the "Forgotten Hope Community" channel ;)

Edit: I guess he was stock as hell (don´t think 1000 is the max HP, not sure though), as he only has 11 battles with the T20.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Eat Uranium on 21-04-2013, 04:04:29
Yeah, the T20 is a tank you really do not want to be slugging it out in.  I found it surprisingly accurate on the move, it is also the only T7 medium that can mount a V.Stab iirc (I have a V.Stab, GLD and rammer on mine).  I'm not really current on it though, since I elite-ed it months ago, and whenever I get the urge to play it again, I end up playing the T29 next to it on the list instead.

Anyway, my current 'grind' tanks are the AMX 13 90, VK3601(H), Crusader, T-44, IS-8 and SU-85.  Probably the AMX and IS-8 will remain, since I'm not too enthusiastic about owning a Lorraine or IS-7.  Not too sure what I'll do after the VK, I won't make the DB deadline, but I'm not so sure I want a Tiger either.  Might go back to the Pz3/4 and go down the new medium line.  Might even buy back my Stug and finish it, since it's the only tank I've sold that wasn't elite at the time.

So I have started playing again, after a break of a few months, and it is as I suspected. They have destroyed my most played tank, VK2801. The amazing little tank, that holds my experience record of 2380 exp for one battle, is now nothing more than a tedious grind toward the next tank. I suppose it could be alright, if I used 100% premium ammo, attacking stuff at longer ranges. I can't afford to do so, nor do I really want to, as I find it a bit unethical.

If only I had unchecked the crew training box before the last patch, I would prefer to remember this tank as what it was back then. The days of HE trolling are now gone.

Sixth sense. It's most usefull skill out of all skills for any tank. It's so nice to know when enemy saw you and you need to pull back into cover.

Edit: Now days I have sixth sense on all of my commanders. It simply is so damn usefull. Maybe brawler like IS-3 doesn't need it as much as TD's, but it still is better than any other skill.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 22-04-2013, 00:04:10
I say put them all on repairs. If you want 6th sense wait until the commander reaches 100% in repairs, then use credits to change skill. There is no point in taking a perk as first attribute for your crew. It takes a looong time for it to reach 100% and you can't reap the benefits in the time it takes to reach it.

butchered beyond believe. 60km/h is to slow for a scout. they added weight to this vehicle yet reduced armour, as if the engine wasn't stressed out already, and 50mm of armour was to much against tanks that penetrate 250mm+. This tank has the worst HP/ton ratio of any T5/T6/T7 scout.
And the aufklarung panther (that they'll add as the successor next patch) sucks even more. Same choice of guns + the konish gun from the vk3601. a nice alternative, yet the 105derp remains the only valid choice. Even worse Hp/ton ratio then the VK2801. Armour is not that much better (forget bounces in anything that is made out of a a panther hull in this game), viewrange same.. and then the horror. This thing is huge. It's hard to manoeuvre and turns like a brick. And beeing big in WOT means getting poor camo rating , specially if it's german. It seems to have the same camo rating as a panther ie not very impressive. And for a scout that is a problem. They'll see you coming from miles away. and speed is afcouse still 60km/h: to slow for a scout

Honestly, normal panther is just superior to this garbage in every way. it has better MM, better guns, better turret and less grind. it doesn't go 60km/h but it doesn't need to since it's a second line tank. aufklarung panther is suposed to be a front liner since it's a scout, but it simply is not up to the job ..

DO take mentor as first skill for commander ! It gives all other crew members an XP bonus so they reach 100% faster, and when commander reaches 100% retrain him to Sixth Sense, and pick Mentor again. You can level skills for the other crew members much quicker that way.

I always do it that way. Mentor for commander, as soon as it hits 100% i retrain to Sixth Sense, then mentor again, when its 100% again i retrain to Jack, mentor again ..

Post by: hslan.Corvax on 22-04-2013, 22:04:02
About repairs, dont know, i always go for the accuracy buffing skills with the crews. Means Smooth Ride and Snap Shot for Driver/Gunner. Radiomen and Loaders get Repairs, but for Gunner and Driver i prefer to have the acc. buffing skills first and chose repairs later. Clutch breaking and Off Road Driving are very useful skills too, but not so much on the French tanks. I recommend you to train Snap Shot and Smooth Ride as soon as possible to your crew, at least before you reach the fast autoloader tanks. You will find yourself in a lot of situations where you have to shoot in a brawl while moving, and missing a shot there could mean your death. You can also do drive-by shootings better with more accuracy on the move.

From what I see, the commander should be still at 0% when the others reach 100%. I don't see the gain doing this. Are you sure the commander is getting trained at all when you have picked mentor?

The commander gets XP just like all the other crew members when you train Mentor, just that the other crew members get a 0.1% xp bonus for every % skill level you get. So in the end if you got Mentor on 100%, the other crew members get 10% bonus XP, thus leveling 10% faster. For me its mostly that the crew reaches 100% and the commander is around 94-95%. Without mentor, all crew members would be at around 95%, so its definitely an increase in leveling speed.

All in all, commander get regular like he would with any other skill, but rest of the crew gets a bonus for every % the commander has its mentor skill. Also, that Bonus stacks with BIA and Improved Vents, so you can get another 1% in XP bonus, to a total of 11% more xp for the crew with mentor/bia/vents.

Thou i dont really understand what you mean with no percentage shown. Do you mean that you had the skill on 100% already (retrained it to mentor ?)

Yes. Exactly. It was when the new crew skills came and all crew skills were resat. so I had 3 crews for the KV-1, and I did not even know which of the crewmembers were trained good and which not.
So i picked a commander which had a second skills available to choose and made him mentor on his first skill, unable to pick the second skill any longer. I ran the crew for a while and considered it a complete waste. I retrained the commander skill for credits and chose sixth sense, leaving me with the skill trained to 96%, while the rest of the crew was at 100%/30%.

Still today I'm totally pissed about this, while the crew is running the KV-2 now. For the KV-2 I needed a second loader and recruited a new loader at 75% vehicle skill for 20k credits. Now the second loader got all the bonus XP from enabling crew training, while the commander got nothing.

Today the KV-2 is my only KV-variant that does not have sixth sense, as the commander is currently trained to 99% only, while the other crewmembers are at 100%/55%, with the new loader being at 90%. Meanwhile running a KV-2 without sixth sense is the total madness. Thus, for me, mentor skill can really gtfo. Experimenting with it ruined my crew until today.

Dunno how you can run that baby without the derp gun! It's always a blast. Finally grabbed the Su-152 with basically the same gun and it's even more fun due to increased RoF.

Derp gun draws 700 damage. That is a waste on smaller tanks. Plus: I believe the derp gun is better on close distance. While the reload is so long. That isn't good for melee fights. And the tank is slow, I'm always missing the action. Accordingly the long barrel gives me better chances on distance. That is when the camo comes into effect. I'm just missing the sixth sense.

Well kinda yes, it either COMPLETELY misses (and I'm talking about a risk to hit the moon here) or it simply hits. It doesn't really 'just miss' targets.

Yeah, I've popped many tanks across Malinovka. +500m shots are usually connecting for me. KV-1 with the 122mm derp is also a lot of fun. OP tank on it's tier.

Oh well, yer the one who's missing out on the rare fun stuff in WoT :P

What are the real requirements to get "Spartan"?

The only time i won it, i survived but lost the battle. A M3 Lee shot my ARL-44 at frontal armor (LOL) and i had 10% of my HP left.

But I should have won it more often, many shots bounced off my tank when i had less than 10% of my HP left but yet no Spartan :/

Sure, but some maps simply don't offer very good chances for scouting. Or if they do, maybe there's no artillery or maybe other teammates are just too retarded to shoot at spotted enemies. Playing scout in randoms is gamble, no matter how well scout plays. With medium or heavy tank, player has much more influence in his own xp earnings.

Any match up in any tank is a gamble. Mediums or especially heavy tanks are the ones that can influence the most, on the outcome, in a match for the team. IMO
Something that you've had to accept quite early on with World of Tanks is that about 50% of the matches are going to be a loss, even when you play super good. Though the numbers goes in your favour when you platoon.

You can easily influence a majority of the matches in any tank if you know what you're doing. Generally you get an even number of good and bad teams, but by acting good yourself (chosing the proper tactics, filling gaps, spotting properly, giving orders, pinging etc) you can win more than average.

Personally I can generally reach about 67% win ratio playing alone, with the exception of some tanks (like my beloved E-75) in which I have more. But then again, I am top 500 of the entire EU server. :)


Just saying, don't be completely pessimistic about it. Sure, in WoT you have to accept that more than often you might as well kill 14 tanks and still watch your team lose, but if you try hard enough you can make sure you still win a lot.

I'm never pessimistic, maybe you've just had excellent rolls with buddy MM. There's so many dream teams that even lemmingtrain in t8-t10 games. Goes aggressive against a TD heavy opponent etc. BUT generally I get better teams while grinding higher tiers. Below t8 and it's total randomness. t1-7 is lots of fun still cause it's complete chaos... When you get sucked into a t8 game with lots of prem. tanks, it can get pretty nasty too.

I've lately started "micro manage" my team, by blipping and notifying the team about scouted opponents, weaknesses/loop holes in our defense, try cheering and telling people that they are doing good... what is it worth, I dunno.
At least it's more positive than the normal troll baiting like "noob team" by the smacktards.

E-75 used to be my best and most favourite tank until I got the E-50. Then I had two favourite tanks. Though, E-50 used to be a lot better. Pre-merica and frenchy patches.
I've locked up the fugly mutated E-50M but I'm stashing the silver for something else for now cause t10 games are just broken with the amount of arty in almost every game. Besides, t10 is "the end" and I touch that apple like it's a golden one.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 27-04-2013, 01:04:30
What you need most actually depends on the number of slots you have. If you have very few slots, you need to exchange vehicles often in order to grind several branches up to tier 10. Thus you'll most likely suffer from lack of barrack slots.

The more slots you got, the less you'll need barracks slots. However, converting XP to free XP is one of the worst things to spend money on. Because the gain is so little compared to other things you could buy.

As I said before, you should keep gold to spend it on demounting equipment. All high tier players use their equipment slots. Thus you cannot afford to go without. Equipment is very expensive. You easily spend 1.5 Million credits on 3 equipment components, if you buy them at regular price. The more slots you got, the more expensive it will be to equip all tanks with equipment.
When you sell a tank with equipment mounted, you won't get paid the full price. And sometimes you'll mount equipment and will realize that another component would have been better. Without gold, you can only destroy the component then in order to buy a new one. This will get expensive as well.

But maybe you'll have yet to realize the value of equipment.

I have 3 free slots but no idea what to do with them.  I guess I could buy back my old KV-1S or a new KV-4 (I have 100% crews for both), but I have so many other tanks on my purchase list.  I'm thinking maybe the French tier 6 TD.

Also, cheers for the heads up on the 1k gold offer.  I somehow managed to make it through when there were 2k left, even if it took 15 minutes due to site overload.

And concerning equipment, if there is a rare equipment sale, try to buy as much then for tanks that you will have in the future.  Might financially delay you from buying said tanks for a while, but at least when you do buy them, you can equip them immediately (weight limits apply).

I have those mods too (the same I think :D), those are amazing, finally tanks sound like tanks, and not like lawnmowers, and guns sound like guns should. one of the best mods ever for this game.

There are various cannon sounds for the high tier tanks. Medium tanks with high velocity guns (E50, Leopard 1 etc) have a distinct sound, bit like a 'woosh'. Then there's normal cannons like the 128mm which do 'boom', and  bigass caliber guns like the 155mms which do 'BOOOM'. I never really pay attention to it but I think the 120mm guns have their own sound too, because my AMX 50B has a lovely firing sound.

I just bought the M103, boy am I mad about it. Every game where I do poorly, we win, every game I do a good match, we lose. A few games have just been a loss due to lemming train, FOUR tanks afk at the start etc.
I didn't think it was this squishy either. Can't really tank shells at all compared with the E-75. I certainly appreciate it's awesomeness even more now. Oh and the M103 reverse speed is a joke.

Prioritize the goddamn damage report, for crying out loud. If the tank is on fire, I want to know it right away. The report on slightly damaged tracks can wait a while. I'm known to always complain very loudly on Ventrilo over this.

Finally able to say that I've legitimately earned a tier 10 tank (and not been given one in tree shake ups).

I won't be buying it though, that can wait until after I have a T-62A.

EU, buy it now ! IS7 is on a 30% discount, only 4M opposed to 6M. also IS7 currently has a 30% increase in income, making it a profitable tier X. Offer only lasts till 15/05, so if I where you , I'd buy one now (but sell the IS8 later)

I'm harvesting free exp to go trough ARL-V39, i must make +50k free exp to do so, and I'm at 13k. I heard that that tank is an anti-gaming tank. Ridiculously long gun, it's an anti-cammo tank, no armor, nothing at all. So i will go past it, I like challenges, but a Tier VI TD with so many negative things it's just, uh, oh.

I'm in SAu-40 atm, IF you remove that useless turret, it could be MUCH better. Not sure what France was thinking when they made design for tanks, an extra turret? FOR WHAT?. I do really want the S-35CA, i could go directly for it, being tortured multiple times on the way sure, but i also want to test out that 105mm derp gun... but that will probably take some good exp i could use on S-35...

The ARL 39 actually is a pretty decent tank. Its the first one that actually puts you into the french TD glass cannon gameplay. You got a gun with MAJOR penetration, 212mm that is on Tier 6, and good accuracy. ARL will teach you what you will need on all the other tanks .. To stay back even further and snipe the shit out of stuff. Camo isnt bad at all, its really quick actually and is a nice tank to run into positions where you can exploit the range advantage. I wouldnt skip it, only if you really cant stand playing it.

I always seem to get into the losing team with my ARL44, even if I do decent damage and kills, we nearly never win the battle (at least, it feels that way). I like this tank but it really sucks to be in the losing team all the time. I made a platoon with a friend and had instant succes through 5 battles until he had to go. Strange...
T-28, same story. A friend of mine has 30% win rate yet he always racks up some kills and damage with it.

Heh, i still have to go trough this SAu-40, exp income is reaally low as i can't do much on battles. I'm loaded up with stock cannon and the only thing that does something, HE rounds. Not sure if I'm mistaken or not, but i think ARLV39 uses the same gun as ARL-44, the 90mm DCA 45, if so, that'd be great.

It also happens to me, i get too many losses with ARL-44, a few days ago i had some great matches with many victories and kills, that certainly helped get my tank to 49% win rate and my global one to 47%, which is just fine. However yesterday i bought AMX M4 45, all losses and I haven't survived in any battle, that kinda frustrated me a bit and when i moved back to ARL i returned to lose over and over, till i closed the game, ended the call with my friend who completely understood me and decided to play some Skyrim.

To get the best out of ARL44, you must platoon with a KV-1S, these tanks working together are one damn epic platoon.

Sander, you'll be back at wot in no time, lol, happens often. I know, last night I saw a Su-5, EASY PREY for my ARL, the shot did NO damage... I was shooting at the sides, he turned around and I was dead. Frustrating indeed!

I platooned with a T20 Tier 8 medium tank and it all went just fine. We both made big damage with him spotting most of the enemies and me damagin them. Last time, I sat back on Ensk near the castle and he moved along the streets until he ran into a Jagdpanther, a BDR G1B, a T-34 and a T-43. I killed them all but he lost his 20 HP to a M5 Stuart :P

Torencio you better get the 105 for the Sau as fast as possible. With that gun it rocks. Either you shoot HEAT for the ultimate trolling, or you just stick with HE which is very potent too and even earns a lot of credits. And yes, the ARL uses the same 90mm. You will have that 90mm on the MLE too, with increased rate of fire. Its gets better with every tank, i even used it on the MLE 46 and 48 till i got the 120, because the always increasing fire rate made it better than the 100mm.

With the M4 45, well, you are a second line support tank. You must rely on sniping, even if you are top tier. Thats something you will have to do with the 50 100 too, thou that tank is majorly awesome. Prolly one of the most potent Tier 8 tanks in the game. The M4 45 is pretty much the same with lower damage output in the same time, but still with the same ability to take on everything it meets.

Aye, progress on SAu is pretty slow, bad teams combined with few kills hurt!. Everyone says that SAu-40 should get 105mm derp and I will, i could skip the whole tank and get S-35 right now, but i don't really want to spend all that free exp and also I'm very interested in that 105mm :P

As for the M4 45, right now I'm using the 105mm that is also available for ARL-44. It heavily depends on your teammates too, if they are good well you wouldn't have much problem dealing with other tanks but even fighting 1 on 1 is suicidal. I have seen many other M4 45 fight on their own and get killed right away. I was quite happy i managed to knock out a Tier IX today tho :P. Both BDR and ARL teaches you one BIG important lesson: How to avoid getting shot. Pop out tanks, Number 1 strategy in BDR and ARL, it applies to AMX M4 45 and probably the rest of the heavy line. I have not mastered such strategy but I'm used to it.

Today was a good day to win credits and exp, but some damn virus appeared in my PC and i have been too busy trying to remove it.

That's impossible, because the devs are too stupid to properly code the matchmaking. Setting the cap to 5 already caused the weird scouts matchmakings and other balance issues. Besides, if they would give in than other people would start complaining about scout or TD hardcaps and stuff.

In my opinion, they should remove artillery all together and replace them with smoke shells. Arty was supposedly put in the game against campers, but it got completely out of hand. Anyways, all you'd need against a camper is a smoke shell and fire it either directly at him or in front of you.

It's funny how arty actually works quite opposite. When there's 5 enemy arties, I tend to shit my pants behind some cover, but if there's no arty, I play more aggressive and it's easier to control the situation.

I don't even listen to whatever they say to me in the chat, at least in public matches. All of them are Guderian-wannabes, "ARL fall back" "ARL cover this flank" "ARL advance noob!". One of my favorite spots in Prokhovorovka is that train crossing by the north, i always snipe enemy tanks from there. I get yelled at, a lot, even more when I'm top tier. But they thank me later anyways :P

I do the same with the BT-7. Most of the time I play with two friends and their BT-7 and then we circle some tanks. Ramming is always last resort for me (Well, not in the beginning, I always crashed into some tank) Last time, a friend to mine took out his 59-16 and I took my BT-7. I managed to irritate a Tiger and a Tiger P. Both tried to shoot my while I circled them and they did not bother to fall back in order to hide from our IS against they were fighting until I showed up. They both died in the end. I did too. Some arty guys are real pros when it comes down to shoot fast moving tanks :(

BT-7 makes up for a really good sniper tank when in T3. As long as the teams mainly consist of light tanks and TDs, I always stay back and snipe because noone else does except for some TDs. I always end up top of the list if the match is set up that way.

Oh these BT-7s... some guys are complete noobs with it and they just rush to their deaths. However there are some pro guys with BT7s and they kick ass. IMO it's one of these mid-game tanks, you have to wait for the enemy to take a few shots and have some smoking tanks before you go in. You'll find almost everyone "minding their own business" and bam, you can start killing them one by one. I don't know how effective is ramming with a BT-7, but with the III. Ausf A is quite nice.

Yeah I want to keep it in my garage, it's a beast really. I have 77 battles yet with 112 kills, for me it's amazing. It has a nice selection of guns, and it's up to the player to choose them. I think in guns category, this tank is unique, literally, there is no best gun.

I bought a Rammer for it, it has a 8secs or so reload so you have to hit them and hit them hard if you want to survive. Definitively the best Tier V TD IMO, it has paper armor but if you play it right you won't get shot. Corner fights with this tank are absolutely amazing!, that is also another unique ability of this tank. I can't describe how awesome this is to me, in Tier V fights anything below 60%-50% HP is a kill. I mostly play it in Platoon with a KV or a PzIV, I cover the friendly KV and when I play with the PzIV I have a bodyguard :P


Once I got my 90mm DCA 45 in AMX M4 45, things changed for good. It's a great sniper, it suffers a lot in 1vs1 but yeah. It also gets quite a shitty MM, but sniping Tier IXs from far away is awesome!. In late-game you can get out from safety and destroy these wounded Heavies roaming around the place, it has great speed (currently using the second engine) and great mobility compared to older french heavies, it's a nice flanker and you can exploit open gaps easily with this tank.

Can't wait for the AMX50 100!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 02-06-2013, 18:06:29
Is the AMX M4 45 like the Tiger? I really enjoyed playing Tiger I, it's an awesome tank (it's total crap until 88 L71, but hey...). I have like 15000 EP left to the AMX M4 45 but I don't know whether to buy it then. After the awesome BDR and ARL I am afraid they have to put in a shitty tank again :S
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 02-06-2013, 19:06:29
They are similar tanks. The AMX is indeed faster and more maneuverable and has a faster turret, it has a bit less HP and less armor on all sides. In terms of firepower the AMX is better armed, the 90mm DCA 45 is superior to 8,8cm KwK 43 L/71 but I think the Tiger has a better reload speed.

Of course this is all by watching the stats, I have not used the Tiger I myself, i look forward to it tho.

I consider a Tiger I a worthy enemy yes, but it's not one of these tanks that "makes me hide" or scares me, like the IS, T29, T32s and so on. I know the Tiger seems to have large weakspots and I mostly have no problems dealing with them.


Word of advice, if you haven't unlocked the 105mm on the ARL, do it now. You won't be able to use the 90mm on AMX right away because of the Turret, unless you want to free exp it, get the 105mm. It's a nice gun but a bit underpowered against high tiers, it's definitively better than the 90mm F3 gun. This tank teaches you a lesson, at least it did to me. Flanking, it teaches you how to flank correctly and i believe this will work very, very nice with Autoloaders, and not to get shot too, but I assume you already know all of this :P
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 02-06-2013, 19:06:28
I don't think that the M4 45 is very good. But I never played it. All I remember is that I easily penetrate the side armor with any tank. Accordingly it is nothing to worry about when facing as enemy. If your crew doesnt have camo, you better abstain from buying.

French tanks is all about tactics, not one of these big ass tanks that can take lots of punishment and can keep going. I have tons of fun being a French Tanker, more than i would have playing as my Nemesis "KV" or the Stalins.

Now the KV-1 is a serious pain in the ass when I play BDR G1B, I bounce much too often when shooting the upper hull, where the MG is placed. KV-1S is a dangerous enemy too. The only good thing is (at least for me) that fortunately there are not too much skilled KV players and there are many who think their tank is invincible so that you can succeed against them.

One thing that I really hate are heavy tanks like Churchills camping in base (when they are high tier ofc.) Even worse, when I have to play the spearhead of an attack with my ARL or Tiger I. Now that really sucks, seeing all those Luchs' and Leopard hiding behind you instead of scouting. Especially the ARL has a really bad view range and everything starts shooting upon you without you even seeing where it came from.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 02-06-2013, 21:06:37
Yeah it's pretty hard to knock out a KV1 with your BDR :/, sometimes you aim for the weakspots but the damn thing goes to the mantlet.

I'm having a pathetic run of games with my ARL. It seems that I lost it completely, i forgot how to ARL heh. I die and die and die, I really want to get that golden M...

Plus the game has become annoyingly laggy, very poor FPS, is it bad optimized or something? cos it sucks big time. Since i don't care about graphics, i turned down my settings to the lowest, but still!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 03-06-2013, 09:06:25
I think it runs on one core only and it gets horribly laggy when there are much explosions or smoke effects like when you run down walls in zoomed mode. Sometimes though it lags for no obvious reason and I cannot do anything for like 2-3 seconds. Then, my tank jumps forward and there is a pretty high chance that I have already been knocked out by that time. Also, tanks at the edge of the maximal view range tend to bounce around and not accelerate smoothly. Really hard to lead them in this situation.

One thing I really dislike is this whole assisted aiming thing. When there is an enemy light tank cruising on a hilltop at high speed, there is no chance shoot it because when you lead the target properly, you aim into the sky and the assisted aim shots like 2m above the target, especially when you have big, slow calibers. I think the game would be more fun if they would turn off the assisted aim completely. I am aware that this would raise the difficulty and good players would have an even bigger advantage but the problem I mentioned really annoys me and others, especially, because the light tanks now that (including me) and "exploit" that limitation.

A group of vehicles, in a staggered formation, the lighter tanks scouting forward.

I got fps drops, sometimes down to zero, caused by the visual effects of enemy autocannons. It seems many people suffer from this, so it is bad coding.
If yours is a different problem, try solution #1: download the full installer and do a clean re-install.

I had some serious lags in 0.8.5 when I ran down walls in zoomed mode but now it lags for no reason, it's like a screenshot for ca. 5 seconds and then I jump forward multiple metres and most of the time get killed by it.

I saw a video on Youtube by BohemianEagle/Jingles and it tickled my WoT senses, re-installed it and invested in some gold and now rolling with several premiums. I love pay to win.

M22 Locust, T127 and FCM36 with PaK 40 are my three favourites. Locust is so quick but has a peashooter which is insanely accurate btw, T127 is the average Joe with medium armour, medium gun and medium speed and the FCM36 is the slowest tank in-game. At least I always arrive the last and sometimes miss whole battles because I never make it in time which I find hilarious. 4km/h uphill fuck yes. But that PaK40 in a tier-3 battle, oh myyyy.

Grinding experience now, leaning to take a Panzer III/IV and slowly work towards a Panther. III/IV any good?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 24-06-2013, 05:06:24
Dat III/IV bouncy frontal armor.

The slowest tank is actually an US Tier IX TD, 13kmph max speed afaik.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 24-06-2013, 08:06:06
You mean T95? As long as he has a good teammates covering it's flanks and there is no arty, the tank is nearly invincible. Problem is it really depends on both factors.
I see alot of PzIII/IV doing the scout job. They die insanly fast. On the other hand there are real pros and they pretty often end up top of the list. Think of it as a much more mobile version of PzIV. The only downside is that it cannot mount the 105mm. The 75mm on T5 is really good but is really weak on T6 so that the PzIV has the edge in high tier battles.
I think it is pretty similar in playstyle to the T-34 although I would say the T-34 sports a better gun while PzIII/IV has a stronger engine.

If you enjoy the FCM36, you should definitely get the Marder II, one of my favourite vehicles in this game. It has a better gun compared to the FCM, and it is quite fast. It has no armor, it needs no armor. It is practically invisible, especially with the camo net and 100% camouflage skill on all crew members.
It can rape everything in a tier 3-4 battles, my personal best is 13 kills in this thing. And it can also hold its own in tier 5 battles, in fact, this is where you will make the most experience and credits.

In short:
* get marder II
* spend credits to train the crew
* get some equipment on it
* keep it forever
* profit
Title: Re: World of Tanks

There is a simple pattern when it comes to the PIII/IV. If a PIII/IV is not countered by a PIII/IV in the opposing team, the team with more PIII/IV loses the battle. Always. This is due to the PIII/IV accounting for -2.

marder II has been nerved to death. PAK40 is the new marderII, I can tell you that.

why ?
It has nearly the same damage and penetration
It has nearly the same camo value
it has way better aiming time (marder is 2.9s => an age ! By the time the circle is closed, the target will have moved out of sight, and you have to start over again)
It has way better view range .

After the marder II nerf I bought a PAK40 on discount, and it simply is better then a marderII
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kradovech on 24-06-2013, 13:06:37
Oh I have seen all the marder nerfs, and I still enjoy it. In fact I believe my best round in it was after the biggest nerf and I still consider it quite OP.

I have never played the FCM myself, however I have never found it to be a unbeatable threat. Marder may not be a better TD hands down, but I find it to be more to my liking. Main reasons are the penetration and speed.

It has 20% more penetrating power compared to the PAK40 - I would not call this nearly the same. This makes a noticeable difference when fighting tier 5 vehicles.
 
Speed is essential for getting into position quickly and manouvering as the game dictates.

The aiming speed is not a problem for me, I'm not having any trouble hitting slow tier 5 vehicles, or faster vehicles heading straight toward me. As these are usually the biggest threats, I glady sacrifice the aiming speed for more penetartion and damage. To be fair, I do have enhanced gun laying drive on my Marder, adding 10% aiming speed.

It has 10% less view range, that is true. However I find 360m to be perfectly adequate. With binoculars I tend to have the best spotting ability of the team in tier3-4 games, I have gotten quite a few spotting medals.
In tier 5 games there are usually scouts doing the spotting.

And the camo value is nothing short of amazing, but I assume it is the same with the FCM.

In the end I believe this comes down to the play style of the player and personal preference.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 24-06-2013, 16:06:45
Just a quick impression I got from all the moments when my game actually not freezed me to death: Is it me or do I receive much more ricochets than before? I had 7090 potential damage received with my KT today. I know it has thick armour but even T9 bounced a lot.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 24-06-2013, 16:06:41
They lowered penetration values of most tier 10 guns and maybe some lower ones too, and reworked the way HEAT shells work. This gives armor more value and HEAT shells will get absorbed by spaced armor / skirts.



On another note, with the absence of artillery and improved armor / side skirts values, the JagdPanzer E-100 is the new troll tank. 90% win ratio yesterday with something in the neigbourhood of 4000 average damage per match. It also hits more because of the new accuracy buffs.

And, it feels like they fixed the gun damage. It does 1000 damage almost every shot now, instead of doing a lot of 700 when you absolutely needed a high roll and doing 1300 when you're shooting at people half the map away. It's more averaged now.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: SiCaRiO on 24-06-2013, 17:06:28
the problem was the RNG. its a gauss bell, but since you had limits over and under it, the low and high rolls got bigger % chanses of ocurring than what it should had

I bought Type T-34, I must say It's quite fun so far. On Cliffs I was able to stop an enemy push by myself with stock gun (Good damage but low pen), using my frontal armor I was able to bounce a few shots.

Then I bought the new gun, it fires incredibly fast and the crew is not 100%, awesome pen but low dmg, but who cares about when you can fire a round every 2-3 seconds?

Post by: Torenico on 26-06-2013, 09:06:18
First of all, patch is good. I thought it was going to make WoT worse but damn, I was wrong, completely wrong. So far i like the changes, the sounds are a bit odd but there are mods to replace them, i love the new camera shake, it feels much more immersive than before. However it sucks for sniping, like the old shake you get when you fire, it always screwed up your aim and made things difficult.

I bought Panzer 38nA. After learning some tricks and improving my scout skills, i can now say that so far, I'm enjoying this tank. If i had bought 38nA when I had it unlocked, a few months ago, i would have rage sold it. Now that i been trough some masters called ELC AMX (Master of Opportunities, teaches you the art of opportunism), AMX12t (Master of Passive Scouting, also opportunist tank, teaches you how to get kills and good scores depending on the situation) and M5A1 Stuart (Also another great situational tank, i loved this one) I can play 38nA to it's full potential, like a real scout. Some call this tank painful, i think these people are ignoring the fact that this tank is awesome if played right, as a scout. I thought this tank was bad, mainly because 90% of people i seen using it went full retard and died within seconds.


Yep, I regret selling my ELC AMX, I wish I could use some gold to buy a slot for this beauty.

JT88 is really great, but be aware its really really slow too. If you want a no-brain noob stomping tank get an IS6. That thing is bouncy as hell and can scare the shit out of everyone if it just keeps rolling and bouncing everything thats thrown at it.

Also, i completely fell in love with the Centurions. Both the mk1 and mk7 are just amazing tanks. Turret is tough as nail, gun depression is epic, and that gun .. Simply wow. You can shoot on the move and hit stuff at 300m easy. Accuracy is stellar, i sniped moving AMX 13's on 600m accurately with 100% hit rate and pen is fantastic (you dont even have to aim at weakspots, it just pens everything). Imo some of the best medium tanks around. Saying that, imo even the stock Centurion 7 beats an elite M46 hands down. Patton has no chance.

Is your name, in-game, Flyboy_fx[clanhere]?, because I recall i seen that name on a ARL V39 El Halluf, or that map were all heavies go north to get eaten by arty (not anymore, not that often at least).

I was also with my ARL V39 :)

Some interesting things from the latest answers thread:
Quote
73. Are you implementing any new tech trees?

Currently we are working hard to have the Japanese tree ready for the end of the year. However, as usual it will be released once it is ready.

Quote
75. How far you are with creating different crew voices for different nationality tanks?

National voice over are planned for 8.8. However, please note that you will not be able to make everyone talking the same in each chosen language. Like German tank crews talking Chinese will be impossible.

Quote
81. When will the German tier 8 scout make it to the game (RU251)?

This vehicle maybe making an appearance next year.


Also, I might have over-contributed a bit:

Wait for 112 then .. That thing will be evil. But imo IS6 is the most annoying prem tank. Type 59 can be penned in the hull pretty easily, but IS6 .. man that thing bounces even 300mm pen guns :O

It's not that bad, the turret is very weak and the sides are easy to penetrate as long as you bother to actually aim, below the spaced armor.

I must agree though it's one of the best noob bashing tanks out there.

Intersting shit. All of our platoon were fighting in same area, against same enemies and we all saw our opponents ourselves. So what could explain napa's XP gain? We all also had under 500 spotting dmg so it's not that either. T-50 above him spotted about 170 dmg and got more XP  ::).

I'd complain at the official forum. Making lot's of people read this. There is nothing that explains the score. In order to get 1000XP, he would have had to create a damage of 8000 HP. Crazy.

Edit://
I mean it is not unusual, that some tanks create more XP than others. Like a Panther with the shitty gun, causing only 1/3 of the damage as others in its tier, but still gaining the same XP.

And a tier 6 should create much more XP than a tier 8, when causing the same damage. But I've never heard of the opposite.

Just had my best match ever in the tiny T-127. I love that little tank, like 50 battles now with a 70% win rate. And halfway through this battle we were 5 kills behind, I thought we would lose but somehow I managed to take out some shitty M2 and then destroy all their SPG's. These are the moment I play this game for.

After they nerfed the german scouts, I abstained from playing them. Instead I concentrated more on the russian T-50 scout. I didn't even manage to move the crew on the legendary T-50-2.

So, now they finally nerfed the russian scouts. The T-50 moves like a german brick-scout now, while they removed the T-50-2 entirely.

If there is something I really disagree on, than it is the scout policy of wargaming.net. They turn all those scouts into useless boring crap that nobody wants to play with. Like it isn't a common sight already to find meds and heavys being forced into the scout role, instead of real scouts. Just because scouts these days pop away like soap bubbles. Without being of any use.

What it comes down to is, that whenever I pick vehicles from the tech-trees to grind towards, based on stats like gun penetration or armor, my desired tanks get nerfed to infinity by the time I'm there.
And nobody can tell me wargaming.net doesn't do this deliberately. They introduce a new vehicle tree with awesome stats superior to other vehicle trees, just to make people start grinding the tree. But then they just nerf it.
Right now its the british AT tree that is superior. Like the AT-5, the AT-7, the AT-8 and the AT-15. The guns are often weak, but the armor is impressive. I wanna bet, if I'd start grinding that tree now, it gets nerfed to infinity. Just for some japanese(!) tech tree to come up then, with ultra superior vehicles eating everything for breakfast.

Plus: the higher I get, the less I desire any of that tier 9 or tier 10 vehicles. Right now I got lots of crews on mid tiers, but there are just very few high tier tanks I find myself willing to move the crews to.

So I took a look at my stats and BDR G1 B is my best tank ;D I surely love to take it out for a ride. I love how many people, especially KV-1 drivers, underestimate it. Not that a KV-1 could eat a BDR for breakfast but those 90mm put fear in even Churchill I. ARL44 is good but not as fun as BDR on it's tier. Last time I got 4000 potential damge on front hull. Highlight was KV-1S with 122mm bouncing on my turrett. This new version has some weird moments.

I'm more annoyed by the double standards, either we get all the "evilz symbolz" or none, first they go "axis (so not just Germans, but also Italians and Japaneese) are evil and they started the war so no swasticas etc. ok?" and then they are like "oh but soviet symbols are ok, cause stalin was a cool dude and we're proud of it"
Especially this bit gets me:"except for characters that are strongly associated with symbols of the "axis" (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and militarist Japan) and their allies - the instigators of the Second World War"
Yeeeahh, about that, I assume Soviet attack on Poland is not part of WWII then?

I'm like a mosquito buzzing around a big guys head slowly poking holes and sucking blood shot by shot. And sometimes they sweep at you, not shooting my valuable teammates but me; the tiny puny tank. Or they ignore me and I can take so many shots at them they die.

And the speed.. I love it. The tiny size, even the fact that it's French. If you haven't tried this tank yet; do it. But watch Jingles/BohemianEagle's video on how to use it. Very important, that man points out his own mistakes while using it.

I've heard that VK36.01H will be a heavy in next version and "rebalanced". I bet they will nerf this thing so that it becomes unplayable because if it loses any mobility it will become useless. Right now, it perfectly fits the gap between heavies and mediums. I really like that tank. Let's see what they will do to it. I mean, T-50 was nerfed to death and T-50-2 replaced by some ugly piece of crap. I think, MT-25 is the final insult to those who enjoyed T-50-2. Well, it was a bit overpowered and looked stupid with it's driving physics but some players ground to that tank and all they get now is a "Go **** yourself and take the MT-25 instead." T-50 now is inferior to BT-7 when it comes to mobility and speed. They are far easier to shoot now. I personally don't like that they nerf tanks without properly recompensing players who owned that tank.

Hahahhaa ! Well thats the most fitting gif for a tank i have ever seen. ELC is great fun, especially if you "dock" onto enemy tanks that are so tall that they cant hit you anymore with their guns when you get too close :P Works great on Tiger P, IS, T29/T34 sides and everything thats bigger :D

Gladly I had already sold the VK36.01(H) after it received the previous nerf. Something like this was pretty obvious after they nerfed all the other scouts. Now there are meds and heavies that are doing better jobs than the initial scouts.

Maybe I mentioned it already, but the VK30.01(H) is my first choice when it comes to scouting these days. It is so blatant simple to (ab)use:
1. roll forward
2. spot the enemy
3. stop fully and wait (in the open) until your teammates killed the enemy
4. return to step one for infinite profit

Yeah, the ELC is by far the most fun tank that you can possibly drive in WoT.  It is even better if 2 or 3 of you do it in a platoon.

Typically I start a battle in sniper mode, transitioning to zoom and boom when things have churned up a bit.  The only time an ELC should be stationary is when you are ambush sniping (and even then, you have to move after you fire).
Title: Re: World of Tanks

I like to sometimes drive to a weird abandoned spot, sit in a bush and just wait a few minutes for the big guys to lumber past and then activate warp drive to buzz in between them. I distract them, team shoots them. Downside of the ELC is that you rarely survive. But I'm not really a survivor anyways, 55% total winrate, 31% survival rate  :P I drag 2 or 3 to the grave before I bleed out.

Downloaded this game around a week ago now.
Player name Cer73 http://worldoftanks.eu/community/accounts/512798839-Cer73/

Playing a few hours every evening at the moment, just getting into it.
It’s a steep learning curve, very much a n00b but enjoying it!  ;D

Bought some Gold for a short lived premium account and got the Excelsior to have a bit of higher tier skirmishing and to get the free experience points. And also bought a garage slot and some barrack space.

Currently have a maxed out PIII with the 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 + Fug12 radio.
Lots of shenanigans scouting about at top speed. Even got 5 kills in a round in it last night! Surpassed my previous record of 3! This one’s a keeper!  :)
Halfway toward the PIII/IV but no rush!

Enjoying the M2 with the Howitzer.  :D

Having a blast with the Cruiser Mk. IV + Bofors gun!

And now I’m trying to max out the cute lil’ Renault UE 57 with the 6 pounder.  :-*

Haven’t got any Arty vehicles yet, seems I haven’t started on the correct trees for those, do’h!

Seem to have trouble against the KV-1’s that I’m coming up against, so usually high tail it to cover when that’s around.

Might exchange a few “bounced offs” with a few of you sometime, who knows!  8)

Excelsior is one of my favorite tier 5s!

Sure is fun watching them Excelsior rounds bounce off the KV-1!  :o  :D

Will check out the FH channel..when I can work out how to do that!  ;D

Currently have a maxed out PIII with the 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 + Fug12 radio.
Lots of shenanigans scouting about at top speed. Even got 5 kills in a round in it last night! Surpassed my previous record of 3! This one’s a keeper!  :)
Halfway toward the PIII/IV but no rush!


When looking at tanks, compare them to their counterparts on the same tier. On tier 5 the PIII/IV performs horrible. It is a bit better than the PIII, but therefor it is on the same tier as the KV-1, the T1 heavy tank and the Churchill. Those will leave no chance for you to score when you have to counter one of these.

There might be some changes in version 8.8 for the German tree, since they are trying to do one branch for each manufacturer (Henschel, Porsche, Daimler-Benz, MAN). Pz III/IV might still unlock the (upcoming) Panther prototype (3002 MAN) though.
At least, don't try the Leopard/VK1602/VK2801/Auflk. Panther branch since they are scouts and the gameplay can be tricky if you just began.


For the channel, just open the "Channel" tab in the bottom left of your screen. Type "Forgotten" and the only result should be the FH Community channel. There should be me, Corvax, Lufty or others in the channel, at least during evening time (as well as old FH clan members) ;)

I dunno any good international clan that has some training clan for beginners but as a starting point, the FH Commmunity Channel is nice because you can find active FHA members as well as old members that went in more active clans.

Find a tier 5 tank that you enjoy playing for fun. Then you just play and play and play and some day: voilà. The choice of your tank depends on your preferences: Either a fast ELC AMX scout, or rather a heavy indestructible KV1 or T1 heavy tank. Or maybe just a fast medium tank?

I got both the KV1 and the T1, and both are great for grinding. Especially when you can score easily while walking all over the other tanks without resistance.

I think I read somewhere that 8.9 will be the death of the KV-1S as we know it.  Supposedly the 122mm D-2-5T is being replaced with the 100mm D-10T.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 02-09-2013, 11:09:39
Except that if the announced 100 mm has the same 175 pen / 240 damage as the D-10T, with let's say ~8 sec reload, it will be the same DPM with the main weakness (reload time) erased. Not much of a nerf.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 02-09-2013, 13:09:42
High alpha damage is much more annoying, because most of the time you can only get one shot off before someone passes or retreats. 390 alpha damage for tier 6 is ridiculous, especially combined with a very capable platform. While maybe the DPM stays rougly the same, enemy tanks won't lose 50-90% of their HP in the first shot and will have a chance to retreat.

KV-1S are incredibly annoying and overpowered. It's about time they got nerfed.

Chaps! I'm coming up to the next unlock after the PIII/IV.  :)

The choice is VK 30.01 D (Sloping armour) http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/VK_30.01_%28D%29

VK 30.1 H http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/VK_30.01_%28H%29

I'm leaning toward the VK 30.1 H as you can eventually unlock the Panther, but the experiance points are so astronomical for me it would take months of play too get that.  >:(

In your experience which is the "better tank"? Should one be avoided, or are both around the same?

Diolch!  ;)

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 09-09-2013, 14:09:58
pick the 3001H.

why ?

next patch it will be a tier V heavy tank, and you'll get a a panther prototype for free at tier VI. And if you don't want that tier V heavy, you can always sell it and have a free slot and more credits. Besides that, the 3001D is not very goof, panther prototype will be much better.

i expect the patch to be released around next week or so, so you won't have to wait long before you drive your shiny new panther at tier Vi 8)

Basically they seem to have changed everything.
I had a glimpse on the Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger (P), and I think they enhanced almost all values and aspects. Though it is not like it was bad before.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: corsair89 on 12-09-2013, 13:09:22
I don't know for the Tiger (P), but the Henschel version got the RoF slightly buffed. The 88 L71 reloads in approx. 6 seconds while the Tiger II gains 1 second of reload with the last 105 mm.

On the other hand, they nerfed the mobility a bit but it's not like they weren't already slow and heavy...It's only barely noticeable.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 12-09-2013, 14:09:22
German tanks had the best mobility ingame, but very bad armour (very ironic, I know). Their topspeed was low, but their engine and acceleration where great. Now their engines suck ass, but they get a better topspeed and rof buff.

I don't like this patch, I think it has butchered the game. very buggy and sluggish
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Fuchs on 12-09-2013, 16:09:40
I got the D.W. 2, fully upgraded except for the IX radio. I like it. It's quick enough, can bounce many shots and the 50mm is a reliable gun. If you end up in a Tier III/IV match you're going to have a good time. Tier IV/V is a challenge but still fun. Nice tank, going for the Panther prototype.

It's really good, great damage output on a fairly mobile platform with good gun depression and a gun mantlet that supports hull down tactics. I've done several 3000-3700 damage matches by now, some even in tier 8.

The only problem is exactly that, I seem to get a fucking LOT of tier 8 matches (tank is 6) and unlike the Cromwell which can easily circle any tank, it can't do anything 1v1 against those high tier heavies or even some mediums. It's great in a supporting role because its DPM can eat away most opponents while they're busy, but as soon as you get some siema high tiers in your team there is nothing you can do to change the outcome.

Oh the Chinese Chi-Ha is tier 3 too and its pretty much the most OP low tier tank ever. That thing can rape KV1's frontally without much problems.

The Jap Chi-Ha will be even better since it will prolly be the Shinhoto version with double the armor of the Chinese one.

Anyways, im really curious, Ha-Go and Chi-Ha are must haves for me, otherwise im waiting for Jap heavy tree :) Want that O-I tank so badly :O

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 20-09-2013, 17:09:33
I had not played for a long time and tested 8.8 yesterday and today:
First impressions:

Tiger I:
 RoF buff on Tiger I is noticable and good but Tiger I really feels like a brick now. It was not fast but agile and a good climber. I preferred the old version but it is not like they had ruined the tank. Well, fending off light tanks in Tiger won't work anymore I guess.

VK36.01H as a heavy:
 Well, lost agility, you cannot play it as a medium anymore when you sport the standard turrett and they nerfed the 75mm Konisch which I don't know what to think off now. It was a superb gun for a medium but why nerfing it and making the tank a heavy tank? In this aspect, ARL and KV-1S perform better I am afraid. Good thing is again, 88mm L56 is usefull again and even sports a better frontal plate. 950HP are awesome too. Oh, it is fast as hell on city maps now.

I have yet to test Tiger II and soon enough E-75 (I don't have a referance to the old version though)

It seems that the German tree has lost many points in agility in trade for RoF. Not sure how this will play out as I don't had enough battles after 8.8 What they cannot seem to get straight is the Konische: First imba buff, now weaker again.

p.s.: I am glad they did not touch my BDR ;D

The loss of 300 horses was compensated by a huge buff in terrain passability, so on flat ground it's as nimble as it used to be and even goes 10km/h faster now.

Uphill however, 900hp is ridiculous for a 92 ton tank, and it's indeed slow as fuck. It's not like the E-75 doesn't deserve a tradeoff for sporting tier 10 armor, but it just feels stupid that they went through all this trouble just to take out an ''unhistorical'' engine. Like this game doesn't already feature fantasy tanks in half its tank trees.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 22-09-2013, 09:09:41
Plus, there are sources indicating E-75 would have had 1200HP. I mean, if they put a 90mm DCA 30 on a BDR (never even planned), they can keep the planned 1200HP for E-75, right? ;D
What I have noticed so far is that all German heavies from VK36.01H on are really threatend by fast tanks now if alone.
Of course they are faster on flat ground now but I think I never needed that really. If base gets captured you are too slow anyway as soon as there is one hill to climb.
One question though: Is it just bad luck or does my engine light up much faster than before?

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 23-09-2013, 03:09:18
So I decided to stop right at Tier IX (50 120), because I realized that my very first goal was to get the mighty Maus.

I started playing WoT because it had a Maus, it's one of my favorite tanks even though I consider it a total failure.


So yeah, saw that "This is the Maus" video and all tanks leading to the Maus are on discount, can't miss this chance to, at least, get closer to my ultimate goal. Probably one of the hardest (if not the hardest) tanks to use in the game will be my very Tier X, going against all recommendations I was given..., "GO IS-7 line, it's pretty easy and very fun", "Go US heavy line, very fun and kinda easy".... and things like "Forget about that pos the Maus is", "don't waste your time in a slow, low alpha super-heavy tank" and  "you'll end up getting frustrated".


The Maus being my very first Tier X is symbolic, I'm not getting it because "I want it for CW" because it's not used for CW as far as I'm concerned (At least, big clans don't use it, other than for blocking bridges and stuff :P), I'm getting it because I'm a huge fan of the Maus...

Still at Tiger P though, this short 88mm sucks, a lot, underperforming, innacurate...
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 23-09-2013, 08:09:25
Imagine this short 88 on a prepatch Tiger I (lower rate of fire, no pen, paperarmour with stocktourrett) and you get the picture. I really hated Tiger I until it got the King Tiger cannon. Since then I love this tank, even after the patch (more RoF in trade for agility).
3k XP to E-75. Let's hope this thing won't be pure frustration...

What about AMX 50 100? Is it good? I need a good tank in the French heavy line. BDR, ARL were awesome but AMX M4 45 is really a piece of crap. I hate to play it. If you are top tier, you will have a bad day.

50 120 is a great tank imo, very powerful when played right. Sadly most people just rush in, empty the drum and die :s You need to use it as long range support, second line tank. Enemy is exposed ? Great, put 1200 dmg into him and get the fark out of there again. Some thing when playing 50 120 is that you should never take an attack where you cant get out anymore for sure.

Also, you will like the E75. It will be sluggish at first, gun wont be the best (make sure you carry some prem rounds for that 105mm), but even as stock it has insane armor and only gets better :) E75 is prolly one of my fav tanks, since it just behaves like a tank. Love it :)

50 100 is one of the best tanks I used so far, fantastic tank to go around the map late in the game destroying the remaining enemies, it's made for that. Takes some "skill" to use it though, you always need some cover around because that 47 seconds reload is going to be a pain in the ass.

That problem gets fixed in the AMX 50 120 however, about 10ish seconds less. But the 50 120 is not as fun as the 50 100, mainly because it will see overkill tanks more often and still has paper armor. The gun (turret in this case) elevation and depression are terrible, worse than 50 100's. It's a bit slower than the 50 100, but the best thing about it is the Tier X gun it gets, sadly with only 4 shots.., which forces you to do damage with every shot, but it has great alpha and penetration.


I loved my M4 45!

If you have a Tiger I, you can see that it outperforms AMX M4 in nearly every category. Plus, it has terrible looks and arty or KV-2 tend to cut through your 1200HP in no time. Why does this tank even have this low HP?

So, unlocked E-75. Wanted to try it out two minutes ago and I think my hard drive broke. Windows cannot access it without formatting it. I will try Ubuntu tomorrow as Windows tends to be shitty most of the time.

Welp, you're in a world of pain. I had to grind that shit from the medium line, not the worst thing ever, but it wasn't great (I had to grind the 100mm with the long 85, and then grind the turret and 122 using 100mm, damn), BUT it's worth it, my favorite tank in the game.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 24-09-2013, 03:09:07
And that is the reason of why IS-2 > IS, because the stock grind is so easy it's unrealistic, you have the same pen as the 122mm only less alpha.

IS-2 is just awesome, when it had 300mm pen HEAT it was a gift from the gods, now nerfed to 250mm. Haven't played it in a while, I'm keeping it though, I might get the last engine so that the 110 can use it... the 110, oh man, dat frontal armor, so troll.

So far it appears that the Chinese heavy line is totally underrated.

^ Haha ;D I really am not comfortable in spending money on this game which constantly changes in a drastic manner. There were good versions and bad versions so far (I joined beginning of this year?). I just like consistency in things I pay for. People who had the T-50-2 probably hate WG for stealing it from them. I almost never see those MT-25. Noone needs them.

E-75 is damn sluggish, even with the tracks. I unlocked them with my 28.000 free XP and took it for a ride. Obviously, the KT turrett is a big weakspot. With the stock engine, it is just horrible to turn the turrett. Even worse, turning both hull and turrett.
Best thing is getting your engine damaged at the beginning of the round...

Got myself the big turrett on E75. Damn, this really improves the tank from piece of crap to over 9000 ;D Now I just need the 12.8cm and an engine that won't let me down that much when climbing hills.

By the way, is it only me or is the 90mm F3 much superior than the 90mm DCA 45 on AMX M4 45?
As I am mostly top tier with it, I never need that much penetration or precision. Plus, aim time and reload are just painful on the long gun (I got to admit that I never installed a gun rammer or an enhanced gun laying drive as I always planned to get rid of that tank asap). Plus, 90mm F3 has a nice muzzle brake :P
I always feel like I am really bad when driving this tank although I actually do really good stats wise, much better than in my ARL which I really like.

It depends on which branch of the tree you want to follow. If I remember right, the KV-13 leads to the heavy IS and KV tanks, while the T-43 stays with the medium branch.

Depends what you want really. KV-13 is much better tank in every single way, the same non-amazing-but-adequate gun, tier 7 heavy tank armor (same layout as IS), moar power, moar speed. It's just better.
If you want a good tier 7 medium for keeping go KV-13.
If you haven't played soviet heavy tank line and you would want to in the future go KV 13 (because you can the get IS and T-43 for 20k exp each and its a pure pleasure with KV).
If you've already played soviet HT line, or you never want to go there, then skip it, you'll save some time grinding the meds.

What I would do (and I did actually) is get the KV-13, then IS, then at least unlock the 100mm gun on the IS
That way, when you finally get to T-44, you won't have to grind the 100mm D10T, using the same gun you get on a T34-85, in tier 8-10 matches. It's much longer way but 1) You get access to soviet heavys and 2) You save yourself 16k exp grind made of pure pain and misery.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 08-10-2013, 12:10:35
I'd pick the T-43 for the simple reason the KV-13 cannot evolve. the logical way would be to go from the IS to the KV-13 to get into the medium branch, not the other way around. The reason for that is that the russian heavy tanks up to tier VII are quite OP that it's rather a sin not to play them.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Capten_C on 08-10-2013, 20:10:22
Thanks tankers!

I think I'll go for the KV, then the IS. As mentioned I'm sure I have the option to  unlock the T43  later, and the T43 and T34-85 have more in common with unlocked modules?

My T34-85 crew are nearly all 92% specialties.

Not sure to keep them on this tank or retrain for the KV13?. :)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Eat Uranium on 08-10-2013, 21:10:46
I would personally keep the 34-85 crew in the 34-85, and use it to continue grinding out the T-43.  The T-44 and T-54 are some of the most fun tanks I've played with, so I would definitely recommend keeping plans to get to them.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: hslan.Corvax on 11-10-2013, 10:10:55
T-44 while a bit fragile is a great med, T-54 on the other hand is simply amazitstic. I freakin loved it. Still prefer the Centurion 7 playstyle thou, but T-54 is hell of a fun to play. And T-62A .. oh dont get me started .. That ROF !

By the way I have 3 tanks now with crew around 93% Perks. Getting to 100% seems imposible from here on! Does the experience gained really slow down in the 90's?  :( Do I have to take out 5-6 tanks every game to gain even 1%?  :-\

I made up my mind, I will be doing that line and stopping at the Nashorn, it's so SEXY and one of my favorite German TDs. Sure the armor is lacking, but I do like tanks with great guns and great viewrange, that is why the FCM 36 Pak40 and S35 CA are my favorite TDs.



I thought playing the VK 4502A was a waste of time, old VK drivers said that it's the worst tier VIII heavy in the game, no armor, no penetration and stuff like that, some would take it to an extreme and say that it's the worst heavy in the game. Very few of them, capable players, said that it is an amazing tank... but the majority of VK players said it's just BAD.


Everyone who thinks this tank is bad SHOULD UNINSTALL THE GAME. I LOVE IT, it reminds me of my AMX M4 45, similar playstyles, this one has much better armor and angling it + seeing some IS-3 with his ego up in the clouds bounce a shot and seeing him run away trying not to get shot by my 105mm is priceless, death to soviet tanks, long life non-soviet tanks.

I never played VK4502A, but I concider it bad tank just because I can't remember it ever being any danger at me. Obviously can't let it just shoot me, but usually it's just matter of taking it out and continuing with more serious enemies  ::)
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 15-10-2013, 19:10:46
As an opponent the VK4502A is not worth mentioning. It is some average tier 8 heavy tank. I believe this comes due to most people running shitty crews on the tank. I brought a decent crew from the Porsche Tiger and I must say that the tank isn't as bad as people think. Especially on distance, evenmore when hiding behind knolls, you get lots of enemy shots bouncing off the angeled frontal armor.

Overall, I have a good credit income, better than on the King Tiger, and the XP gain is acceptable as well.

When I still played regularily about 2 month ago, I also had some remarkable encounters with another VK4502A. You know, the VK4502A is rare on the battlefield, and if you drive one, you'll note other VK4502A much more. Every evening there was a pro player dominating the battlefield with his tank, getting the highest score of all players, as long it was a tier 8 battle. Obviously, the VK4502A was his favourite and for once he gave me a spanking in my VK4502A when I opposed him. And I'd say that I'm not such a bad player.

So, in tier 8, the VK4502A can be quite acceptable.

Getting rid of my AMX M4 45 tomorrow and picking up a brand new AMX 50 100 instead. Finally, a decent tank again ;D

I'm going to say this once more, the AMX M4 45 is a decent tank, it lacks hp..., IMO it should have as much HP as the Tiger, after all, they're similar tanks... I did good in it and back then I was just a 47%er player. You will love the AMX 50 100, it's just EPIC.


Can't wait for the VK4502B, I know sidescrapping on that thing will be awesome, hell, I might even keep it to get a free Maus Prot. if such thing would happen, after all, I got my VK3002M for free by unlocking (and playing one or two battles) the VK3001H.


I'm afraid of getting the Maus tho, too bad I will be getting it after his glorious days are long gone, the introduction of the WTF E100 certainly puts another nail in Maus coffin, I will still get it, but I'm uncertain if I'm going to enjoy it or not.

VK 3002 (Man) is a very good Panther alternative. I don't know, I don't feel the same "performance pressure" as I did with the T VII Panther, it's a bit more relaxed in gameplay and feels a bit more agile. Must have something to do with the 10 tonns of weight less. :D

VK 3002 (Man) is a very good Panther alternative

It's the best tier 6 along with the Cromwell and the Hellcat, trades some mobility for firepower. The gun is great for its tier, the ROF/DPM is amazing. My average damage is somewhere around 1500 IIRC, which is more than some people have in their tier 10 tanks. It's a great support tank.

So, I played my first games AMX 50 100 with 90mm DCA45 yesterday. This tank is awesome to say the least. The only thing you need are teammates that can cover you while you reload ;D
As soon as I get the tracks, I will install a vertical stabilizer and maybe enhanced gun laying drive. I already have vents. Any tips regarding the third one? Not sure whether the gun laying drive is optimal for it.

Had a battle with Henschel Tiger which ended with 7 Kills and 4000+dmg ;D In the end, I was alone versus ARL V39, AMX M4 45 and Porsche Tiger. The last one to die was the Porsche Tiger. Clearly, Tiger H is better than Tiger P and much better than AMX M4 45. Torenico, I know you love that tank but if you compare it to Tiger I, it is so much worse in almost every regard except that little mobility buff which the Tiger had too before 8.8. I find the 90mm DCA45 to be not good enough for T7 so I always used 90mm F3 because of aim time and RoF. With the F3, it feels like a slow medium. The HP only contribute to it. If you snipe with it and there is arty, one hit can ruin your game instantly.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 17-10-2013, 14:10:24
90mm F3? What have you done?!, I played it with the DCA 45, and before getting the turret with the 105mm, fire gold, have monster penetration and magically +30 damage.

It should receive a HP buff. Tiger P is awesome though, angling the frontal armor and getting a massive armor boost is amazing, so many bounces.


About the 50 100, I went for Vents, GLD and Stab, you need to get that reload speed down, you have to aim faster (takes a while to aim with the 100mm) and you will be firing while moving a lot. That's my config in the 50 120, currently my 50 100 is sitting there, I haven't played it for a long time.

With the DCA 45 you start to appreciate how amazing this tank is, and it doesn't have THAT good alpha. My first Tier X kills were with that mighty gun, I absolutely love that gun, it gave me so much fun.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 17-10-2013, 20:10:53
I only use prem ammo in emergencies. Actually, I find it to be kind of a cheat. Premium ammo can effectively disable well armoured tanks while those cannot buy effective countermeasures for fast tanks or magically double their DPM.
It lacks a bit of balance. I find it highly annoying to have someone pen my E75 in the weirdest angles because of APCR.

And again, KV-1S 122m bouncing on BDR G1 B frontal armour of 60mm ;D

I'm OK with gold rounds, it's their money, firing gold rounds usually ends up eating credits for them, to me, it' a valid resource, I use gold ammo too, sometimes I even abuse using gold because I wanted kills or damage, then I try not to look at the post-battle results, especially the credit "income" hehe.


Some people up in public matches seem to want people asking them if they could use some prem. ammo on his tank, a few nights back I was shooting at a Churchill I in my FCM 36 and he was like "Gold tank, gold rounds, very noob", I simply responded "I'm also rich, let me finish you off with HE", he was mad, and I love that.

I have to run my VK4502 with like +20 gold rounds, 200mm pen wont cut it, so I need that 77mm-ish extra pen the gold ammo has, seeing E-100 rage at it... priceless.

My AMX 50 120 however runs a single Premium ammo drum, and I think I never fired it.


So yeah, I'm Torenico, the Arty's favorite target.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 18-10-2013, 02:10:04
Each tank of mine has 10 rounds premium ammo in storage. Sometimes 15 rounds, like on the Matilda. I buy them with credits. I think 10 rounds premium ammo on the King Tiger are about 40.000 credits. Basically the premium ammo allows me to reduce the aiming time. On some tanks I barely use it, on other tanks I load them by default on mapstart. On the King Tiger I only switch to standard rounds if the situations allows me to do safely, for example.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Fuchs on 18-10-2013, 13:10:06
I always have a supply of premium/gold/OP ammo as well. Not to use on map start but on those situations you know you need that extra punch/have no time to focus on the weakspots. I buy them with credits too.

Last night I 'saved' a round, my teammates as well of course, and I loaded some premium ammo. Net profit after match: 300 credits  :) But the XP was well worth it.

If you can cope with long reload time, it is very good tank. It also has bad habit of recieving a lot of module damage, specially to crew, fuel tanks and ammo rack.

But then again, it has good turret armor, decent hull armor at front (requires angling most of time though), good alpha damage and still decent DPM. It also is fast enough to do falnking moves. It also has excellent premium ammo with 235 pen, usefull against those E75's  ::)

About the E-75s, yep, I instantly load gold if I see one frontally. Few nights back there was a E-75 by the railroads with about 400ish hp and I was camping sniping with my 4502A on the other side of the map, by the bushes.

I already see my E75 get penned by 37mm shells.

FCM 36 is SO OP, anybody has one?

Two games, Province.., 10 kills, too bad it was a draw. Later, Prokhovorovka, I carried hard, 9 kills, victory.

I can't really get that tank to work. I alway get super unlucky rounds where i can't do crap :s

Where are you getting this info from?

Anyway, I bought the SU-152 yesterday.  So far, having an absolute blast (the pun is intended) with 152mm HE.  Still about 12k xp from the first 122mm, is it worth using the 122mm guns on this tank?  I know you have to unlock them because they are on the path to the BL-10 on the ISU, so I wondered if there was any point in using them as well?  Also, any ideas on equipment?  So far I have a rammer, camonet and binocs.  Worth trading one off for a GLD?

I'm surprised somebody is having problems with the FCM 36, it's so fun and easy to use!. In Tier V it must use gold (That is why I carry 20 AP, 20 APCR) but it dominates in Tier III and IV, as long as you are hidden...


It's sad to see the VK4502A go, It's such a fine tank, but I needed the cash for the Ausf. B. Now here, here I'm confused. Not sure what to unlock first, the 105mm isn't good for IX, however the traverse speed is bad too.

It's not going to be easy, this rear mounted turret will prove to be a pain sometimes, sidescrapping will be fun tho, but very situational indeed. Any tips, veterans?

There's a blog called For the Record, which reports developer and game developments. The game's lead asshole dev has mentioned metal fatigue several times, but the last time he did he said they weren't sure of implementing 'because players wouldn't understand'. It's a pretty stupid feature to implement anyway if you ask me, it doesn't fit into the arcade style of WoT. It would only fit if the tank combat was realistic (big ranges, great front armor without all the stupid weakspots, no hitpoints).

Any tips, veterans?

Nope, I only played it back in the beta and shortly after release, when only the IS-7 and IS-4 had enough penetration to maybe penetrate the front armor. Nowadays it seems worthless.

Played it quite enough to have a view on this tank. Forget it if you don't have the 105 from the KT. I even advice to get the 128 of the E75, because the E75 is a much more forgiving tank then the 4502 will be.

Frontal amour is the key. You can angle it a bit, I say about 20-30° at max. Any more, and they will start penning your flimsy side armour. You can beek-a-boo with a rear mounted turret. Just park your tank in reverse around the corner, and when the enemy comes shoot and drive forward to safety. Rear mounted does have advantage and disadvantages. If found it a reasonable tank, however I do think it will struggle with  all that gold ammo flying around ..

Hear, hear. I have my kill record in this tank (also in the T127 though). It's slow as shit but that gun packs a punch and it stays hidden from my experience. And by the time they see you and stop to shoot at you, you already fired 2 shots at them. PaK 40 ftw.

The Marder 38T (8.9) will be the new FCM 36, it has better camo, goes 50km/h and has about 80 degrees gun traverse. The only thing that stops it from killing entire teams is that it only has 38 shells. With a  reload time of about 2,5 seconds that means it will run out of ammo in 2,5 minutes.

With camo net, tank camo and crew camo skill, we were invisible to enemies beyond 200 meters even on the dunes of Sand River. Camo value is so high we were actually arguing whether or not it is a bug.

I will get the 105mm from the VK, sadly I don't have the Tiger II (I don't even have the Tiger I in the first place), it will be a tough one, no doubts, but I will do it, I want the Maus so bad..., no terrible gun will stop me from getting it.

About my little combat experience, I bounced some shots and I was quite happy about it. In my first match, which was a loss, I rushed back to base along with a 112 and was in a very bad position, terrain made sidescrapping impossible, so I had to trust my frontal armor, with some small angling like you said I bounced some shots till I was attacked from behind by a SU122 , Type 59 and a ISU152 from the front. Can't speak much more about bounces as the two following games were Tier X, the occasional Tier VIII bouncing but the X penetrating my armor despite my efforts to prevent it.

I do need the tracks, right now, this tank barely turns.

Same damage per shot, but 2000 damage per minute, which is as higher than most tier 8 tanks.

As long as you can manage to keep your distance, you could eat any tank in mere seconds while remaining completely invisible. The camo value is insane, and view range with binos is 350+88=437 so in return you can see just about everything.

Hi tankers,

I need another 3k to unlock the Indien Panzer. http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/Indien-Panzer

It's been a real ol' slog to get the 81k points in the VK 30.02 (D), but funnily enough now that I'm coming to unlock the next tank I'm on a pretty good roll in it!  :D
I like the VK but the MM almost always makes me bottom tier.  :(

My style of play is aggressive scout with a touch of impatience for action and rushes of blood to the head and doing lots of erratic gambling! Which usually results in a few kills followed by having my arse handed to me on a plate by a high tier!  ;D

So, now then folks, in a few brief words of advice. How to get the best out of this Indien Pz?

Fact that it really wasn't buff at all. He goes on laughing how wg buffs IS-3 that already is awesome tank, but truth is, they really didn't.

They sure made lower glacis and turret front stronger, but those 2 spots always have been very strong. Lower glacis is already way stronger that upper glacis and when you see lower glacis, you sure will see upper glacis, so it's not really a buff. Jingles also states that upper glacis is at better angle and bounces more, well, we tested it and it didn't.

He also completely missed the fact, that drivers hatch is now HUGE weakspot. It used to be stronger than other frontal armor, now it's easy to pen even for lower tiers. On our tests, turret side also was significantly easier to penetrate with 175pen gun, than it used to be(jingles said it it didn't have much impact). Not to talk about turret back that is made of cheese.

So all in all, only buff it recieved, was turret frontal armor, that was already almost impossible to penetrate by other tier 8's.

The Panther is/was ok, if the matchmaker puts you in a favourable position. Like having one enemy opposing you on your tier, while all others are one tier below.

You'd think this never happens, but some tanks are less equal than others and get buffed this way occasionally.

I heard people say Jingles is fine to watch but don't follow his advice. Although I generally disagree on that, he does show the basics on how to use certain tanks. And he convinced me to grind the KV-2..which is a blast. Brilliant tank.

Same damage per shot, but 2000 damage per minute, which is as higher than most tier 8 tanks.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm subscribed to jingles too and like his videos. It's just that he really isn't that great player (well above average, but average in wot is horribly bad, I guess that make him "OK") and he doesn't always have very good knowledge about things he talks about. I guess if you are new to game, his videos are excellent, but for more seasoned wot player, his videos mostly just offer entertainment.

German Medium? Sniper. You can use it aggressively, and die, because these mediums are not like Soviet ones, more brawling mediums, German mediums are accurate, they don't belong to the frontline. Stay back, hulldown if possible and make good use of great accuracy guns you have. I have not driven the Indien, but I do know from all my experience that German mediums are snipers.

Forget the 105 you get from the vk4502A. It sucks. Rubbish pen, rubbish acc. Way better of using the stock 88 in that case and fire away.. You really need that second 105 since it's the only good one.

I can rely on my armor still, and a pretty good one. The reason I'm not mad with this tank is because I platoon with a Obj704, and I know, at least, ONE decent player it's in my team with one GOOD tank. As for myself I try to spam as much gold as I can, shooting gold makes it a decent gun.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 30-10-2013, 18:10:23
The Comet, and later Centurion Mk.1 and Mk.7/1 are hull-down tanks in the purest form. Strong turret armor / mantlet, and great gun depression. While driving these tanks your primary concern should always be to find and abuse anything (slopes, rubble, rocks etc.) to hide your hull, so you can shoot people while only exposing a small (and strongest) part if the tank.

Honestly ? Suiciderushing and not really bothering with it. Comet is just bad. T-43 was a Lot better imo. Centurion I on the there hand is absolutely epic. That 20pdr with that epic rate of fire, accuracy paired with that super tough turret, man that tank is just the shizz. Cent 7 is even more shizz with the tier 10 gun on a T9 med lol.

I have a question: I already have vents and gun rammer in my E75 but I still don't know what to take as third equipment: Vertical stabilizer or Super heavy spall liner. As equipment is less expensive I am about to buy one of both. So, which one would you take?
Also, which gun rammer works on the Hummel? I decided to play arty again to get some payback for all the time it hits me ;D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: SiCaRiO on 02-11-2013, 13:11:21
vertical stabilizer if you want to have more effective damage per minute, and spall liner if you like open brawling and are at mercy of arty .

I have vert. stabilizer
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Dukat on 02-11-2013, 13:11:34

Medium Caliber Artillery Shell Rammer, I believe.


On the E75 I'd think about taking out the gun rammer and putting in both the spall liner as well as the stabilizer. The stabilizer is pretty great as it draws 20% from aiming time.

Actually I'm thinking about taking out the gun rammer in favour for the spall liner on the King Tiger as well.

Whereas I got both a gun laying drive and a vertical stabilzer on my VK4502A. No need for gold ammo then.

Post by: Sander93 on 02-11-2013, 14:11:09
No one shoots HE, the amount of arty has greatly decreased and with a weight of 100 tons getting rammed is not a problem. Spall liner will only be put to good use maybe once every ten matches.

A vertical stabilizer is usefull 10 out of 10 matches.

You're doing it wrong guys, when I play WoT I just don't give no shits, full-relaxed with good music playing, makes the game much more enjoyable when you don't even get angry at losses :D
 BTW: What is that after battle massage mod called? I have a similar one but I like that one better.

I renamed my WoT shortcut "Mundo de la Frustración", which means, "World of Frustration", it's a friendly reminder of what I'm going to play when I'm in a bad mood haha, it works!.

I suggest platooning. Last weekend I platooned quite a lot with Dnarag and I can say that it was much more enjoyable than normally, even though it was a 5x weekend with every drooling idiot out of the cupboard.

Especially playing at lower tiers is fun, the game play just deteriorates to complete shit at and above tier 8.

Yeah, AMX 50 100 took me like 4 games to win a battle although I always had 3+ kills and 3k+ dmg ;D I know the rule of never taking out your high tier on weekend but I break it frequently. Problem are really badass platoons on the enemy team too; if your team does not suck to much, the epic platoon will take care of you.

In this game, either your team pwns or your team gets pwned, there are so few close matches....


But today has been productive, not sure if I'm going to continue playing..., at night potatoes and brainless monkeys go out to play WOT, however I must say that the FCM 36 is a life saver, that thing is keeping my WR while the rest are just trying to bring it down and it's easy to kill 24 and survive 7 battles to win 250k credits with it.


Altrough I must say I was a little surprised when I won the x5 with the AMX AC 48 in my first attempt, usually takes 4 or 5 haha.

Or perhaps you're looking for these kind of stats:

(http://i.imgur.com/FtnwraZ.png)

Or maybe you want my stats with the Chi-Nu Kai:

(http://i.imgur.com/q8mo5kK.jpg)

Or perhaps you'd like some opinion about this tank. Ok to begin with, it's not easy to use. The speed is decent but the traverse is bad, the engine is weak also, it struggles when going uphill. It's not a flanker (Sure it can, but it's not really made for that, had some problems flaking a pathetic Churchill I driver with some little derp), it's a dedicated sniper, taking adventage of it's nice gun depression (Chi-Nu will get better depression, like all Japanese tanks) and it's AMAZING gun. I'm playing with a 75% crew with Vents, camo net and binocs (Both placeholders, making money for GLD and Rammer), the reload is 4.50ish seconds or something, my platoon mate which had a Kai with 100% crew and rammer said about 3secs IIRC. The accuracy is fine, I never had problems with it, the aiming time bothers me a little (Again, 75% crew), the damage is something we should really count on, and the penetration is great.

The armor doesn't exist, the turret has some armor but the rest is just nothing, that is why one must hang back with this tank and try to engage enemy tanks from far. Good viewrange too.

My stats aren't great with it though, because instead of killing I was worried about damaging, lots of potato teams and kill stealing bastards. When I reach 100%, that'd be 6th Sense and camo for the rest, I feel Japanese tanks will live and die by the camouflage, using terrain and sniping as much as they can, can't wait for their heavies!.

Post by: PanzerKnacker on 14-11-2013, 04:11:39
Yeah I should use more words when asking questions, sorry.  :-\

Thanks for the info, I might even get one later on, but the lack of armor and speed is really bothering me.
Not to mention 2.7s aiming time is really not something I like. But the 0.37 accuracy is great, for a tier 5.
Gun seems very much like the german 75mm L/48, or am I very wrong?

And a question to be answered at a later date, judging by the discrepancy between dealt/recieved damage, how frequent are module damages? Especially crew members, ammo racks and engine.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 14-11-2013, 05:11:21
It shares some characteristics with the L/48, however, it's superior in both penetration and damage, something I hated on the PzIV.

Here you can compare the L/48, the T-25 Skoda A18 and the 75mm Type 5 gun. So far I have not needed prem ammo, which is AP (I think the Japanese used some sort of APHE instead of HEAT or APCR, it's literally an enhanced AP, no word on that one for now).

I can't say much about the module and crew damage, but I will be into that once I get +30 games.

Starting to like this tank a lot, it's a fun tank!, and it makes good coin too, somehow we ended up playing in the NA_West server, which gives me about 210ms+, BUT, 80% of our games were Tier V, now that was awesome.

About module and crew damage, no fires yet, one shot caused my engine to stop completely, a T14 was probably shooting HE knocked out two crew members and that was all basically, I must say that I knew first hand about the fire problem and I peek-a-boo a lot, trying to angle as much as I can, going hull-down as much as I can, brawling? Not in this tank, sometimes the situation requires you to brawl, and you must be quick, you don't want to stay without cover for too long...

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Fuchs on 20-11-2013, 02:11:35
Yeah. The same gun already has a meh-meh penetration on the IS because you end up in tier 7/8/9 battles so much so you learn to aim carefully with it. That same road just continues on the IS-3.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 20-11-2013, 18:11:36
I do like the WZ-110, with the 122mm D-25T its both painful and awesome to use. It's a quick heavy with fantastic frontal armor (some people are dumb enough not to aim for the LFP), the 122mm does it with that alpha, however the penetration, as you all know, is terribad.

250mm with Gold rounds is good, used to be 300mm before the nerf, but it does the job alright. The 100mm provides more RoF, accuracy, better aiming time, penetration but lacks the alpha the 122mm has.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 24-11-2013, 15:11:13
I am curious: What percentage of your shells are usually premium? I mostly have 5-10% for emergencies but I increased the shell count heavily on E75 and Panzer IV. The latter has nearly 50/50 HE and HEAT if I happen to have to enforce a victory. E75s shell cost are giant and with that reload time, I like to employ it against T10 just to be safe (12.8cm loves to shoot all over the place sometimes) Generally, I load premium against high tiers (copied that from everyone shooting APCR and HEAT at my E75) and on T5 against KV-1. I absolutely despise this tank. It earns every prem shell it eats.
Many people which have high performance ratings heavily rely on Prem ammo I observed (maybe selectional memory, I don't know).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kalkalash on 24-11-2013, 18:11:21
I carry from 5 to 10 rounds of gold, depending on the tier. Though it has very little uses, I rarely have situations where I need it.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: ajappat on 24-11-2013, 20:11:38
Really depends on tank, but I guess about 10% is most common. FV215b 183 is only exception with full gold load and some few tanks don't have any, like nashorn.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Eat Uranium on 24-11-2013, 21:11:38
Yeah, typically I load about 10% gold.  Never really bother to use it though.  Only exception is the 152mm on the SU-152, I have 10 HEAT and 16 HE, and I will use the gold first, switching to HE if there is only weak tanks left.

So, when I first played T-34-85 (around 100 battles) I had 41% WR and hated it deeply because it was so bad in comparison to T-34-75 (with 57mm ZiS lol). I think I was just too bad to play it. I really love that tank.
http://puu.sh/5w3Oj.jpg Well, I was good for my skills but it is not rare that I have more than two kills and more than 1000k damage in one battle, even with T8.
What do you think of it? I mean, it is really awesome and since VK36.01 got hit by the nerfbat and is a slow chunk of metal, I had no interest in T6 anymore. I saw some T-54 and wanted one too so I decided to grind again. I am not dissapointed at all but I have heard the T-43 is far from being good. Are those rumors true?

It's a good tank, played it a long time ago when the game was released. Back then it still had the 100mm as top gun though, which made for good damage. Was a pretty solid combination of mobility and firepower.


Not sure if it's still comparable to the new Cromwell and VK3002M. Those tanks are really, really good.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 28-11-2013, 22:11:11
That says more about the players than the tanks.


My T-34-85 has 945 average damage.
Cromwell and VK3002M have 1455 and 1504.

Only thing the T-34-85 has is better alpha damage. Cromwell has the incredible mobility and DPM, and the VK3002M has a great gun. Both are better at facing higher tiers I recon (Cromwell can circle, VK can snipe).

Not saying it's a bad tank. It's just another case of old tanks being outclassed by new ones.

Wow, Sander, that sucks ;D Last battle, our Sturer Emil killed the last enemy with his last shell and got that special medal for it. Do you often run out of ammo in those new German TDs? By the way, as soon as I see on, I load HE and let them feel the pain. Last time, I gave a WT auf E100 a nice little 12.8 HE into his open back. Normally, everybody in there would have been dead, but it is WoT. I think you can maximally damage a certain number of modules/crewmembers at once.
@Torenico: I already skipped the first two. I have to wait for my free XP to climb to get rid of it. I also sold my ARL because I lack garage slots. Sometimes, it was brilliant, sometimes it just sucked all the way. It is really an "All or nothing" tank.
I also got through the StuG. It is a fine tank although it shares this horribly weak engine that gets wrecked on every frontal penetration. I think I will stop there because Jagdpanzer IV seems to be hell of a piece of shit. Everybody complains all the time and I was never scared of it in T6. 88 L/56 is such a bad cannon, even in VK36.01H. If you mount it on a TD that has to hide and cannot flank very well, it must be hell on earth. Jagdpanther though would be really nice indeed. I don't know. I think my playstyle is not suited for TDs. I mean, I had both StuG and T-34-85 really long ago and I sucked in both (although StuG III was fun). Now, I play T-34-85 rather well and StuG okayish.
Any tips on how to play TDs well? I always hide somewhere behind several bushes with camo net and binos but as soon as you have to turn the hull or shoot once, you get a shell rain that your StuG cannot handle by far.
Plus, I never now where to go in city maps. As soon as I am spotted, I am dead because the reverse gear is so damn slow and the engine gets shot down as I already mentioned above.

There should be some kind of test during the install.

"Grab this E-75, load AP and do over 4000 damage against stationary tanks, you have 15 minutes", because really, I'm sick and tired of E75 shooting HE, IS8 shooting HE, IS3 doing 0 damage in Tier VIII battles, E100 0 damage, Maus going hill on Himmelsdorf and a scrub in a WTE100 doing 3500 like no shit.

Once things start to get bad in the NA server, I just switch to the NA_West server, with much much much more bad players but you can do much better if you are platooning.

When I first started playing with the French I was happy to see the Char B1 in the game. It's one of my favorite tanks IRL, Counterattack 1940 in FH if you drove the B1 you were BOSS.

My career in WoT Char B1 was disappointing. It was the driver, me, I was a bad player back then, I didn't even realized I could angle and bounce shots.

75 Games in the B1, 56 kills, 140 avg damage, 55% WR.

However, there's a second Char. The B2, I love it.

I sold the B1, I wanted to keep it because I loved it, not the WoT B1, I loved the B1 itself.

Now I've got a TRUE B1, except for the 75mm gun and the German cross and the German dudes inside. I'm happy with it, it's so much fun.

21 Games, 36 Kills, 437 avg damage and 67% WR. Learning how to angle, learning weakspots, carrying a huge load of gold ammo, this tank is awesome, and the fact that only sees Tier IV...................

I don't regret buying the JT8,8, when it had the B2 coming with it.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 18-12-2013, 18:12:43
So, got myself the T-43 after the awesome T-34-85 and T-34. This tank is really mediocre. It is not horrible, but the gun is inappropriate for T9 and it honestly got too much crew and module damage (even worse than it's predecessor) I've heard it had a 100mm once and I don't know why they removed it. Armour is subpar as is agility. The only advantage it has over the T-34-85 is a decent view range, RoF and HP.
I sincearly hope the T-44 will be better.
I also bought a Hummel and have a WR of 41% in it. Not saying I do great in arties but I simply cannot turn the tide of the battle in those things ._. I will grind throught it and leave the GW Panther for the next time I think arty might be fun ^^

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 18-12-2013, 22:12:51
Nah it's not amazing, it's a pure DPM tank, about 2200 iirc.

Misunderstood because people who play it first are noobs, they don't get the game mechanics and they get to fight in a hard tank, it can be a killing machine if used properly, it's just not popular.


I have to shoot gold at it with the B2 if I want to pen him reliably.

Tier IV mediums have the bad reputation of being target practice for derps. T-28 is huge and has terrible armor, easily derped by tanks of it's own tier and one-shottable by KV-1S and even ARL-44 or S-35CA if shooting gold.

Same with Lee, PzIII, they are just NOT special, well Matilda, but that's more like a heavy :P

I just finished my BDR G1B grind and in the end, I have bit mixed feelings. It was great tank at times. On the other hand, any suiciding idiot with some dpm, can kill it. I died countless times to some tank just running circles around me at very start of match and obviously my team always managed to kill it only after I was dead  :(

It's funny how I sometimes wish my enemy would actually have some sense  ;D

Oh please, sometimes I can't do 1600 in a high tier tank I just did it with a Tier IV heavy using a Tier II gun.

So damn happy with it, got my Ace Tanker for that, a DW2 got me though, but I was very low on HP and got flanked, couldn't angle because I would give my side to a Matilda, I believe.

Matildas are a pain. Only the Marder III is a real threat to them in T4. Hetzer HE mostly just does minimal damage. An A-20 most of the time cannot penetrate their sides ;D B2 only gets into T4 battles? B1 should have the same regulation because it is just horrible.
Btw, did you use prem for that battle? Even if you did, pretty impressive ;D

EDIT: Don't want to double post. Here is my question: Which equipment and skills should I mount for E100? I nearly have it and I tried googling tips. Problem is, they are all pre 8.6 and alot has changed since (especially arties).
Gun rammer and vents seem to be mandatory like on E75 but again the question: VSTAB or Super Heavy Spall liner?
I still did not get either of the latter on my E75 and have binocs instead, because I can't decide ;D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: SiCaRiO on 20-12-2013, 12:12:09
spall liner, you are not going to be firing on the move very often, no need to VSTAB
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 20-12-2013, 12:12:12
you are not going to be firing on the move very often, no need to VSTAB

Vertical Stabilizor keeps your aiming circle during movement smaller. This in turn means the aiming time after coming to a stop will be lower, which will obviously come in handy.

Best tip I can give you, unless you're planning on using the HEAT shells... Don't get an E-100.


If you're really keen on getting it anyway, I had rammer, GLD and vertstab I think.

Matildas can be penned frontally if you aim for some driver's hatch, at close range it's not hard to hit (B2 has the annoying habit of missing point-blank shots sometimes), if you face a Matty frontally I just avoid fighting anyways, even more when he is at a long distance, where sniping his driver's hatch is a waste of money. Sides can be penetrated with less difficulty, rear is easily penetrated.... however!, only with APCR ammo, AP does NOTHING to it.

A-20 is the shittiest tank in the game, that pos can't even be used to ram things, it's just pure crap. Not sure if my Spall Liner is actually protecting me from HE damage, a Hetzer did about +300 to me last night but sometimes HE shots do "minimal" damage, crew damage is almost nothing, repetitive shots at the cupola knocks the commander out, and that is a problem.

It's a problem because the French did a fantastic (duh) job on their HT crew. Commander, Driver and TWO Radio Operators, however, the Commander not only commands, but also operates the 47mm acting as a Gunner and Loader, he dies, you are in trouble. Skills will be a problem.

Would be my first T10 and as I won't be making money with it, I can aswell fire 15cm HEAT at the enemy and at least do some damage. I think I will go for VSTAB because if arty hits you, shit has already hit the fan. The super long aim time on my E75 is annoying, maybe I will replace the binocs as planned.
Thanks for the advice.

Spallliner is a waste. HE damage is unreliable anyways and not that a big problem. Ramming other tanks is effective even without it.

E-100 is a great tank, aslong you angle and use HEAT only.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: luftwaffe.be on 20-12-2013, 17:12:48
some tanks benefit from spalliner though. Big spalliner also reduces crew damage with 50%, excellent for the WTE100, who otherwise loses all of his crew members at one. 
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 20-12-2013, 17:12:59
I unloaded a HE clip on a WTE100 with my AMX 13 75 (was fun chasing him around the map while he was reloading) and ONLY did critical damage to his gun, not a single crewman dead, just the gun, which makes little difference as it will still have laser-accuracy.

Yup, HE shells to the turret ''doing massive crew and module damage'' is a lie. I have a WTF-100 myself: not even a 183mm HESH shell does more than killing the gun and maybe one crewmember.

I had 5 battles of E100 today. Not impressed yet. Of course, it has troll armour that stops almost anything (if you cover that ridicolously thin lower plate) and sometimes really makes you laugh but the 12.8cm is really an annoyance on T10 only because it is inaccurate, low pen and RoF.
I don't want to judge it prematurly though. Funny thing is, it feels really awkward to be one of the few T10s. I feel like the whole game depends on me ;D
30.900 repair cost is really brutal. I will probably take E100 out on really rare occasions.

Yes I was disappointed, I was preparing myself to laugh at it after the battle, only to see "Gun".... they say Load HE, I did, they said "You will knock out a lot of crewmen", nope, it didn't. Did I mention that WTE didn't stay back like "It's supposed to", he went to the front, ignoring his lack of armor and huge size but he nuked several tanks, like no shit.

"Shoot-HE-at-them" works on lower tiers, Rhm. doesn't like a 152mm HE shell to his face, doing 900 damage AND a fire...

This tank exists in FH2 in Giarabub, right? I like it, it is much better than the T7 Car. I will probably sell it because of garage slots.
Grinding T-28 and E100 right now. Damn, that is not fun at all ;D T-28 is horrible and E100 always gets me into the worse team and then I have to pay 31k to repair that tank with it's useless 12.8cm. T-28 is just horrible. Gun is fine but everything pens you. I already knew it was a bad tank when it was my opponent but damn. Even a good player will be destroyed pretty quickly because of it's weaknesses. How is an average player supposed to be good in it? ;D After that, I will grind KV-1 to get to the glorious KV-2. 3 man platoon armed with that tank should be fun.

I'm also playing the T-28, I found it, in my second playtrough (Had an abysmal 30 games, 33% WR, 3% survival rate and 10 kills), to be a pretty damn good medium.

I managed to get some kills, win some battles (platooning with a Chi-He) HOWEVER, I still can't survive!

Of my like 9 games played last night, 0% survival rate.

In one game I just lost connection to the server, had into reset my modem to get back to the game, when I got back, I pushed by some lake (In this map with the town in north, south railway line and a lake in the middle, Live Oaks or something), I saw another Chi-He which took like 75% of my hp in two shots or stuff, then I killed arty. I was damn happy I was about to win AND survive, a friendly Chi-Nu teamkilled me, he said he was "lagging", I just killed his arty.

What the fuck.


I made a promise, KV is my enemy, I shall never use KV.

With the lack of a OP Tier VI tank in my garage (Right now I have my eternal ARL-44, T-34-85, VK3002M and Nashorn stock), I've decided to finally get a KV-1S, but I might turn towards the King of Derps first, which I used in the test server and LOVED. I will break that promise, I feel dirty....., KV-1S will allow me to carry games, KV-2 will allow me to have endless amounts of fun. With all I learned in 7000 battles I can make the KV-1, KV-2 and KV-1S work EASILY, if less than 1k battle nubs, with no idea about angles can win steel walls often and even carry teams with their KVs, who knows what can I do, with almost fully understanding this game mechanics!.

Well, I would be truly very dirty if I suddenly turned into a arty-only player. I feel bad with myself for breaking my own promise.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 27-12-2013, 09:12:36
The rumors about WG changing KV-1S into KV-122 and KV-85 are not true I guess ;D I will research KV-2 first, followed by KV-1S and finally T-150. Maybe I will even try that OP KV-1S before it gets (maybe) nerfed.
I've heard atm it feels like a medium with an oversized gun. If they should change it to KV-85 on T6 and KV-122 on T7, I wonder what T-34-85 and IS-1 will be good for. I hope they don't let those tanks become obsolete like they did with M4A3E8 (Cromwell beats it in almost every regard).
Also, I played my E75 again yesterday (8k potential damage received). I feel like much more safer in it than I feel in E100. Even if the armour is a tad better, you get double the volume of fire thrown at you in a E100. It also is kinda sad that a Foch with Prem ammo can practically shoot you everywhere even when you angle. Gold ammo negating armour in any way is kinda sad I think. This of course won't stop me from using it on the derps to frustrate people or use it on E75 when I am frustrated ;D

By the way, how do you deal with IS-7? It is my absolute nightmare enemy. I can deal with E100, Maus and T100E- or alike but IS-7 really frustrates. Where do I shoot? I even bounce on lower plate?

I'm pretty sure the KV-122 was going to stay tier 6, but be much slower that KV-1S is now.

Personally I think that only 122mm gun on tier 6 should be on SU-100 as it is now. It's kind of ok for paper TD with not much health. But heavy tank oneshotting stuff is just bad design.

They won't. Atleast didn't in past and I'm pretty sure they still don't.

When wot was still in beta, it was running on US server. When they released, european server was opened and when my beta version updated to release version, it asked if I want to link my beta account to US or EU. Obviously I chose EU and and my launcher started showing EU flag and EU news. However, the account itself got connected to US server as well as game client.

I played some hundreds matches, I had KV and Stug when I noticed it. I contacted support and they basically said "tough luck, create new account on EU". After quite a few messages with support, they said they will transfer my account. I downloaded EU client and went ingame, only to find they had also resetted my account.

I spent almost 6 month brake after this  ::)

Edit: Starting to think about this, I'm not even sure was this at start of open beta or actual release. Anyhow, I was kinda pissed.

Lee is not THAT bad, it has drawbacks such as the Main Gun located in a terrible position but other than that, it's a DPM beast, if you find a good spot you can get that gun, which has pretty damn good penetration, to work and do a lot of damage.

It's position on the tree just makes it hated by many, same thing the T-28 suffers.

If you care about historical accuracy this isn't the game for it, imagine Soviet tanks fighting along side German tanks against the Americans and the Japanese on a map set in rural Ukraine. At least a third of all tanks are prototypes or were never produced, or never were even deployed let alone seen combat.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 11-01-2014, 09:01:16
I don't like WG pretending to have "historical accuracy". Also, almost every tank does not have it's historical weaponry (Tiger H has 88mm L/71, Tiger II has 105mm L/68, KV-1S has 122mm etc.). Even the others stats are wrong. German heavies now have a topspeed 10km/h higher than it was in WWII. One of the few tanks that is worse than in reality is IS-7 I have heard. It would reload much faster than it does in WoT. I know, this is for balancing, but I could not name another tank right now which would have received worse stats than IRL ;D

By the way, I was wondering if a Tiger II could penetrate a T-62 with a frontal hit. It can in WoT (not that often of course) but I was wondering if modern armour would not have been immune to that old gun. Of course I have heard from H tandem grenades to overcome spaced armour but I was wondering what a regular APCR could do against more modern armour like this.

This will give you an idea of how realistic WoT tech trees are, it's not 100% accurate, I mean, who the fuck knows about Chinese Mediums?, WG partners in China gave info about these tanks to WG but the Chinese won't release it to public, very obscure tanks. The Japanese tech tree is the most realistic one, all of them were produced at least once, that of course, will change if WG decides to add Japanese Heavies, there is a big gap on Tier VI or something, I bet they will fill it with some fantasy tank.

Historical Battles will be introduced maybe this year, I kinda want to, you will have to fight with your tank on it's historical configuration. There were plans to install a 8,8cm KwK 43 L/71 on the Tiger H, a 10,5cm L/68 on the Tiger II and the KV-1S with the 122mm gun was in fact called KV-122 and one prototype was produced. Some guns are historical, some were proposed, others are there for balance reasons.

As for myself I got the 12,8cm on the 4502B, while the tank is still shit, I do good damage on most of my games, the penetration is fine (I fired only one APCR round so far, and bounced off arty :/) but it misses too much, It's a love/hate relationship I have with this gun.

I was happy to have it tough, first round with it was on Steppes, first target was a Leo Prototype, I fire, hits at auto-bounce angle....... you got the be kidding me, next, T30 250m, I fire, miss, amazing!, I reload, show up once again, fire at the side of T30 turret, shell goes straight for auto-bounce angle.

Historical as in only tanks from the same time period or front, which obviously has major drawbacks as well with Tigers being tier 7 and T34s tier 5, for example

Anyway it's stupid, there was a good reason WG got rid of the idea in the past. War Thunder is forcing their hand though, so now they might have to actually implement such a ridiculous gamemode.

I'm not sure whether this is the right spot for a World of Tanks vs War Thunder discussion and whether it leads to any good, and I guess it has all been said in the WT thread already. It is just an opinion of players that WT beats WoT.

When Wargaming started WoT they promised so much but held so little. I was hoping for bigger battles with more vehicles, I was hoping for different game modes like sudden death, I was hoping for human operator models, I wished so often to call a divebomber out of the sky, taking out my enemy, and I was hoping for historical battles when wargaming talked about historical events. Do you know what wargaming considers an 'historical event'? Handing out 2x XP on June 6th.

And then, the game modes: wargaming was developing a gamemode that would allow you to preselect multiple vehicles for battle, with which you could continue battle after your first vehicle died. Guess what, internal betatesting reveiled problems with campers camping the spawn zones. Project canceled. Deleted without substitution.

As long as wargaming is making a lot of money with what they got, there is no reason for them to bring any innovation to the game. Except implementing new prototypes that never saw combat or have even been build once.

I'm kinda done with WoT since summer, and since I started playing War Thunder, my return has become less likely. And it really hurts myself that I must say this.

WT ground combat is probably the best thing that can happen to WoT.  Suddenly, with a competitor (I won't say direct, since the gameplay seems to have fundamental differences) WarGaming will have to get off their collective arseholes and actually do things.

I can't say that I'm particularly excited about WT.  From what gameplay footage I've seen of it I think that WoT has a better play style to suit my own preferences.

WG is indeed testing "roaming" feature. However it's still unknown whether it will be available for all. It was also hinted that if you use roaming (for example to play on NA server with your EU account), you won't be able to use the ingame channels or the ingame chat (to prevent trolls).

96k exp left 'till Maus, my dream, will I be able to survive the VK 4502B grind? Or will I collapse of frustration and rage?

I'm playing solo, it sucks, my platoonmate is not available, we are having a energy crisis in the city and the place where I work has no energy, so I can stay home, I have 12 hours of premium, my plan is to reach 150k today, it's possible, but it wont be easy, even less with this obsolete tank.

I can see the 12,8cm being a brawling gun, for the E75 that is. I don't think this tank is a pure brawler, like the E75, more like a sidescrapping sniper. You can brawl under specific circumstances, only when terrain, buildings or wrecks are in your favor. So I use this thing is a sniper, or a medium range support tonk.

And this 12,8cm is not even good for that, it just misses, it's no a very German gun, it's not THAT accurate. Either my 12,8cm is on RNG's black list or it's just that bad. I think this gun on this particular tank should receive a accuracy buff, after all, Soviet mediums 100mm have different accuracy while the gun is the same, recently WG said that "Guns can perform different on different tanks", which is true.











It's either that or complete removal of this tank and replaced with Maus prototype.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 13-01-2014, 17:01:53
12.8cm is a diva on E 75 too. It either goes full center or complete misses. It kicks hard and has ok penetration but not what I would call reliable. E100 is even worse with it because it is much more immobile with the same gun (Maus must be hell, hehe).

It has little good moments, depending on the map and how tomato your enemies are, I was boss on some and worthless in others (Sand River..... where I eventually died in front of our Maus and he used my wreck to protect his frontal weakspot)

It's fun to troll Tier VII and VIIIs in it, well, you know, except for those damn ISUs, Rhms and gold spammer motherfuckers.

It's not like I have something against gold ammo users, I use them too, like some faggot on his Lowe shooting gold at my turret and penning it, loaded my gold and good luck stopping that 300mm pen shell  you ugly bastard. Like I hate when a WTE100 loads gold, omg, really? are you THAT desperate?, OP tanks don't need gold.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but APCR has fewer chances to bounce than HEAT, because iirc HEAT sucks against angles.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 13-01-2014, 19:01:03
HEAT also gets absorbed by spaced armour or tracks. E100 is also a bit helpless when the enemy starts to load prem. Problem is, nearly everybody starts loading it when they see a E100. I do too sometimes. What I don't seem to get right is angling E100, I always bounce when shooting E100 LFP but nearly every enemy seems to penetrate it even if I angle pretty hard. It starts bouncing at around 45° or what? I know that you have to angle the turrett aswell and that works fantastically well, I just don't get the hull angling.
Title: Re: World of Tanks

70º is autobounce unless there is this thing called overmatch.

The lower plate is only 100mm or something, it doesn't bounce anything unless under extreme angles or when the tank on a slope ('backwards'), increasing the angle of the lower plate. The fact that 'your shots always bounce but enemies always penetrate' is a typical case of selective memory.

The real tactic is to make sure you expose the plate as least as possible in the first place. Don't rush the front, but go next to a house that's 100 meters back and sidescrape the shit out of everything. Usually there isn't much good cover right at the front line, you'll have to give up some ground in order for a good spot. Does bring the advantage of being near invincible though. The E-100 is especially good at this because the highest penetration shells are HEAT, and HEAT will get absorbed by the skirts under pretty much any angle that isn't 90 degrees.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 13-01-2014, 20:01:57
I do know selective memory quite well but I am pretty sure it has more to do with the angle. E100 and E75 are pretty tall so the angle is worse, especially in close combat. Tanks like IS-7 don't have that horrible angle and pen me much more often than I can pen E100s myself. I actually never penned an E100 with my E100 in the LFP (I brawl most of the time, wanted and unwanted) but always focussed on the weak lower part of the turrett. If E100 is aiming at you, you can even pen it with AP sometimes. TDs will rough you up pretty quickly if you aim at them :P

So, opinions on national battle gamemode? I remember there was talk about it during beta, but devs said it wouldn't work and it never came. Now it suddenly is coming though, is this the effects of warthunder?

I think I'm going to have fun games in it, but then again, imagine tier 6 match with US having bunch of M6 and russians having bunch of KV-1S. That sure sounds fun.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 17-01-2014, 09:01:00
Arty nerf was actually pretty good in the beginning. Arty almost completely vanished from the game. I think they rebalanced it later because of it and it seems that arty is back in full strength. I mean, arty is annoying but I can deal with it. I only really hate it in T9 and T10 tanks because it always causes massive module damage that can break your neck on such high tiers.
How is the TD nerf supposed to happen? I've only heard about the AMX 50 Foch 155 losing it's top engine and having reduced alpha, like all 155mm guns should receive. Do the other TDs receive the same? I mean, especially the new German TDs (not all of them of course) have a pretty big impact on the game. Waffenträger auf E100 e.g. rips everything to shreds in matter of seconds. I don't see why the Foch should be nerfed without the Waffenträger going through the same procedure.
Also, are the rumors true that the TDs should get increased RoF to balance out those things?

@ajappat: Do you really think the US will take out their M6? ;D More like 15 KV-1S against 15 M18.
 Tier 6 might be a pain for the other nations though.

I did not say it would be a fair battle on every map, but why should you use the inferior heavy tank? M18 is fast, has good camo rating and epic view range, so an all maps, city only maps excluded, they would have a pretty high chance of winning. M6 may have better DPM but everyone knows that DPM only is usefull when there is no cover or the tank is fast and agile.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: ajappat on 17-01-2014, 10:01:38
But you don't get to choose if you go on national battle or not. It's just one game mode in random, so you will still have those M6 and other crap in your team against superior enemies. Obviously depends on tier and nations who get's to stomp other team, but it will happen.

Why AMX 50 100, why? What am I doing wrong? Can't seem to play this tank right. Any tips? I mean, I already stay back, watch out for cover etc. I even took the 90mm again and have higher damage per battle ever since, but what the hell am I missing?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 17-01-2014, 19:01:11
50 100 is tricky, but a damn good tank.

With that number of battles you already figured out the basics, no armor, good speed and so on.

Keep the 100mm, the ability to one clip a Tier VIII tank is priceless, the 90mm is OK but not enough. Platoon with somebody, like a IS-3 or a 110, someone who can cover you while you go trough that massive reload.

Don't engage the big tanks right away, take care of the easy ones such as the low armor TDs and Mediums, this one is a perfect medium-hunter, like the VK 4502 A.

However these stats are not bad, having a bad (Which isn't terrible) WR on it doesn't mean you are doing it completely wrong, it's not THAT easy to carry in autoloaders, remember you are at least 47 seconds out of the fight, 47 seconds you are doing no damage whatsoever. What equipment do you have in it?.

50 120 is great because of the 120mm gun it gets, but it's Turret depression and elevation are annoying, VERY annoying.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 17-01-2014, 19:01:37
I think I use GLD, Vents and VertStab. Yeah, AMX 50 120 has horrible gun elevation and gun depression, I already figured that out. A nice feat is the 100mm reloading fo 32 seconds though.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 18-01-2014, 07:01:27
Yep, that's the equipment you should have :)

I kept mine, I plan on joining a clan and I could use that 50 100 for Tier VIII CWs or something, whatever it is they play. I might transfer my ARL 44 crew to it though, I kinda miss blowing shit up.

I must get the 4502B done, I'm sick of that tank, it's the most annoying tank I ever used, and probably the worst. I hated the VK 3001P, ARL V39 and Pz. III/IV, but this one, this one takes the first place.

30.01P, Tier 6 medium leading to Tiger P? This tank is best suited for getting oneshotted by KV-2 ;D I wanted to try Tiger P but when I saw this tank, I thought: Hey, it's like a VK36.01H, only that it does everything worse (even worse than the patched version of it). Also, Tiger P does not seem to have that impressive frontal armour and it's DPM sucks in comparison to Tiger H.
Finally got myself the 15cm on E100. Armour is still not great ( even angled, I was surprised how many weakspots there were in the weakspot called turret) but I can avenge every damage taken adequately now. Even AP can work if you aim properly but against T10 I mostly use HEAT. I also carry some HE but I never tried them. I do know that I once angled E100 and everything bounced on me. Than, a Jagdtiger started shooting HE and it hurt after a while. I bet 15cm hurts a bit more. Should be like KV-2. Killed a T29 for 989 damage into the LFP with KV-2. Must be really frustrating.

Only time I used HE on VK7201 (same gun E100 has), was when I was in tier 10 match and had used up all my HEAT and then had to fight hulldown E100 at maybe 200m. No way I could hit the range finder with AP at that range, so I just shot HE at him until he was dead  ;D. It did 150-200 damage per shot.

E100 carries a lot more ammo, so I suppose it doesn't run out of ammo so often. I try to keep AP for those tier 8 matches, but in tier 10 only match, AP is quite useless against most targets, so I spam HEAT.

Well it's no surprise that many veteran players I know with 500, 600 and more battles in their E-100s told me it's a very difficult tank to use, it's very hard to do well in it. Most of the E-100 I see just load gold right away, and most of the E-100 I see are red players, so yeah.

I don't know about HE, I mean it's useful but not always, I'd carry some more HEAT and AP and leave HE for resetting cap or shooting at the new German TDs and be at RNG mercy.

I might get the E-100 one day, I'm not that interested in it, I'm more interested in the E75 tbh, something feels wrong about the E-100, I don't know..., but before that I'm going to get the Maus, 50b and 113.

Just got Epic Pascucci's Medal

Awarded for destroying 3 enemy SPGs in one battle, with a tank or tank destroyer. in my T-54  :D

I have 42 xp so far to get either the D-54 or D-10T2C (59XP). I won't be going for the next Tier 10's as the XP is too much.  :o

Which gun should I go for, seems like the D-10T2C is favored by some?  :)

I guess DPM, accuracy and aim time are worth more than 18mm penetration on AP. Many people seem to use gold on big tanks anyway and those rounds don't even differ from eachother.
I am jealous of you. I am about to unlock T-44 in the most boring tank I've played so far: T-43. I mean, what the hell? Take a T-34-85, put the same engine on it, the same gun, a bit more armour, less mobility and a bit more RoF? Who wants that? Please, for the love of god, let the T-44 not be as boring.
I have a mixed feeling about this line so far. BT-2 was fun, even though I had no clue how to play it back then, BT-7 is still in my garage, I just cannot sell it ;D, A-20 was one, if not the worst tank I have ever driven (only AMX 40 and Panzer 38 nA compete with it), T-34-57 was fine (don't know how it is with the buffed 76mm now) and T-34-85, although deeply hated by me in the beginning, now rules ;D

Cheers!  :)

I'm leaning toward the D-10T2C, but if I ever did get the 200,000 XP I won't be able to get the T62a.

T34 was a hard grind. Depending on how kind MM was I just stayed off till mid battle, got a few pot shots in for points, and scouted as much as I dared, then usually went bezerk and tried to ram something  :D

I don't think I survived many rounds in it, all down to MM.  :-\

Once upgraded the T-44 is a beauty.  I have kept mine and jump straight in soon as my T54's knackered. I run rammer/vents and stab on them.

I've only recently started running speed governor on both and it's a great boost. As long as I don't catch fire as I gave up extinguisher for it.  ;)

Unlock everything apart from the 122mm gun and don't unlock the 3rd engine if you want the T54 quicker (just use the speed governor) on the V-2-54. You won't catch fire..much!  ;D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 24-01-2014, 16:01:01
Are we talking about the T-54's guns? Second one is clearly better, you barely notice the AP penetration (you can use gold shells on armored targets anyway) but the other stats make the gun way better overall than the first one. Better aiming time and accuracy means you can hit way more and you can effectively snipe with it. It even has higher ROF.

I played the T-54 before the tier 10s were introduced and before it had the second gun. It was OP. I played it with the new gun (making it a T-54/E-50 hybrid) recently... it was beyond OP. Highly armored go-kart now even with a devastating gun.

Definately worth the xp IMO. Especially since I'd recommend keeping the T-54.

It's here, the Mighty Maus is mine! The once-unstoppable tank is sitting in my garage!.

At last! I completed my main objetive in World of Tanks, after 3 years. I came here to get a Maus, and a Maus is what I got.

(http://i.imgur.com/VAHdCxv.jpg)

Still waiting for Loader Gunther Fegelein, (hehe), from a StuG III (I haven't played the Stug for MONTHS, he was sitting there, waiting for a new tank) to reach 100% on BiA before jumping in, it's the best I can do, since I have no German Premium heavy to train a new guy.

I'm so happy, it might not be the tank it used to be, gold rounds show him the middle finger along with OP TDs, but I couldn't care less, no value in CW? I don't care, it's my favorite WW2 tank and now it's mine.

It also marks the end of the worst grind I ever had, the VK 4502 B. Had to free exp the Maus, all the free exp I had, 18k..., I really needed that exp for future use in WZ 111 1-4 and Tiger I.

I'd love to rename everyone in the Maus "Fegelein", and try to get the famous "Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein!" audio when you are destroyed :)

Hehe, nice ;D 12.8cm sucks though, be prepared.
Indeed, free XP would have been really usefull in Tiger I. I got mine (my personal main target in WoT) pretty early when I had no clue and it really hurt to play it with the L/56 and that horribly ugly stock turret ( should have used Panther cannon anyway ._.)

Btw, you should not train that StuG loader like you plan to.

Yes, the 12,8cm is pretty bad, well at least on the 4502B. Not on par with the rest of the Tier X tanks..., but Maus is about hp and armor anyways.

The problem with the StuG loader is that he is the only guy available with enough skill (had 74% camo) for a reset to quickly retrain him for the Maus. He is on the JT8,8, the only German premium I have, I need to get BiA working when playing with the Maus, I know it means that he will lose exp on it's way to the Maus but, I can't risk to have BiA not working, Maus needs all the improvments it can get.

I always detrain skills from a crewmember before switching the tank. That way they are instantly 100% and only the skill is lower. It is incredibly usefull to have a 100% crew from the beginning. BIA only does 5% more and even if it is really nice of course, I would prefer waiting for it for a bit. Then you also have the problem when switching tank classes which should reduce the effecitveness even more iirc.

If it's between same class, I rather just play with 90% crew. Resetting skills before retrain is just xp loss and 90% crew is fully competent in randoms.

;D I will untrain my KV-2 crew as soon as I can put 100% BIA on them. Vents is already installed but I don't think I will use rations. I need that fire extinguisher, medkit and repairkit. Any crew member that dies (besides radio operator) is vital to this tank. Also, broken engine or turret is the horror.
I have 69% WR in KV-2, one of my best tanks :P

EDIT: Don't want to double post. After a horrible weekend, I got my hands on that T-15 finally ;D Horrible teams, lag spikes, warps and disconnects could not stop me from getting it. Many players are pretty angry about all the lagging, especially those who played CW or had premium activated. I don't know why WG makes such events when they don't have the infrastructure or personnel to sustain that ammount of players.
Glad it is over ;D A new garage slot finally.

On saturday I had a 55-65% or so 24h WR, today however....

Days like these keep me playing this game. And they were not "lucky" victories, I performed well on these battles, especially with the T-34-1, god what a tank!, I love it's turret armor + alpha combo, I feel it's some sort of Tier VII T-54, I'm quite happy with it.

My KV-2 still needs to reach 100%, but I still like that thing. My WR on it is pretty bad, 40% on 30 battles. I need to work on that, but I must say that I just got it for fun.

What a tank the S35 CA is!, no news but..

Perfect for these "Kill X number of tanks" events, but the thing about this tank it's the armament. There is no superior gun, each one fits a different playstyle.

17pdr is sick, dat penetration, dat rof, but not so good to kill things really quickly, it's much more forgiving than the others since you can reload and try again.

105mm is a blast, one shotting things and being a nasty surprise for high tier tanks, penetration is amazing 163mm and abusive +200mm with APCR with superior French shells that does +30 damage than the AP ones (300 and 330), bad aiming time and accuracy, plus shells seem to be VERY slow and sometimes it looks like they lose all strenght and end up crashing lol.

90mm DCA 30, decided to test it today, it's a combination of both 105mm and 17pdr, it's the BDR G1B's 90mm but AT version (Like the Pak and KwK for the Germans, in this case it has "AC" on it's name, I assume it's AntiChar), penetration is the worst (Still a decent 130mm), damage is 240 but can go really high on good rolls about 390. 7ish seconds reload is very good for a 240 damage gun, I like it.

Combined with this amazing platform, invisitank, 400m viewrange and magical French superior Gun Mantle which saved my life more than once, I love killing French haters with it, it just smashes them with no mercy.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 31-01-2014, 08:01:40
Yeah, S35 CA are pretty nasty when played right. By the way, BDR is also quite good for those missions. It does not have the superior view range or camo but it comes with a nice turret and my reload is about 8-9 seconds. You can ditch to cover nicely while reloading. Also, if someone shoots the hull, he has the possibility to bounce on it (form similar to KV-1S). The only thing that I really hate on it is the giant commanders hatch with machinegung. I mean, in reality it might have been a nice feature but ingame it sucks horribly. Almost as horrible as M3 Lee.

By the way, are there plans to implement using both guns on a tank? I don't know how it would be done but tanks like M3 Lee, ARL V39, B1, Churchill I or alike have all a secondary gun that only serves as giant weakspot (which I don't really understand as on 95% of the tanks in WoT, the area around the gun is armoured the most).
Even E100 or Maus have a secondary 75mm gun that maybe could track enemy tanks(?).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 31-01-2014, 12:01:26
Multi-Turret tanks will come eventually, but WG considers them a low priority, not many tanks would benefit from it. Lee (and in the future, Grant) need that, ARL V39 has some sort of 37mm gun?, worthless at Tier VI, Maus could be fun if you fire HE or AP ammo on arty or WTE100 hehe, Char B1 had an almost-fixed 75mm hull gun, it couldn't traverse more than VERY FEW degrees to the sides, you have to aim by moving your hull a lot and it won't be very effective either.

Some Japanese big mediums also have a 37mm gun on their hulls, T-35 Heavy Tank would also benefit from this but WG must first add it.

What about AA-tanks like Ostwind, Möbelwagen or Wirbelwind? I guess there are not enough models to fill the gaps or not enough tanks of that sorts in other countries? I mean, a 37mm FlaK could hurt on low tiers. Well, I would not know what to put on T6 upwards either ;D

Long story short:

E75 comes around the corner on Ensk, my AMX 50 120 had two shots left in the drum and I'm hiding behind a small building entrance, it's only hiding my hull and about 3/4 of my gigantic turret.

He rushes, I have 323hp left, I fire, 380 or something done to him, he fires with his 128mm and BOUNCES and I finish him off.

Well, there are also a lot of hits that shouldn't do damage, like hitting an edge of something (like the turret) which shouldn't do damage because there is nothing there to do damage to. Same goes for hitting the gun shields of open-top vehicles. A better damage model would've been cool.

I'm not really sure if ghost shells were fixed, I still see BS shots going trough a tank, it might be lag but sometimes I compensate it and still goes through, or at least I think see that.

This new event, "Do 50k damage for 150k credits" is very welcome, I mean, the ammount of credits you can make is very low for me (250k) but if you want to do that mission quickly then you must play high tier tanks, and if you put into account spending on ammo and repairs...... I don't know, it's not worth it.

Got into the fantastic world of Clan Wars, two great commanders = team working very well.

Had to use the Maus, yeah, my job was pretty simple, push with a T110E3 along the main road on Fisherman's Bay, as the Maus continues to push on, I expected lots of guns concentrated on me, thus, risking my only Tier X tank to be locked for quite a while.

I couldn't make it to my spot when we spotted a huge number of IS-7 led by some Leopards heading to our cap, me, a WTE100, a scouting Obj140, two supporting M60s and the E3, we held back with our super stronk defensive position while our E5s pushed to their cap, we counterattacked the remaining Stalins, winning the match.

Angling the turret and seeing them bounce gold rounds, Maus, I love you.

Post by: Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer) on 04-03-2014, 12:03:34
Haha that's nice
Yesterday, my team couldn't form a decent second team due to numerous tank locks (today will be much better) so I was with Obj 261 in that team trying to hold them off and kill as many as possible.
I deal 4.7K damage and was the only survivor as the n0ob mediums figured out that if they spoted an arty in one position, the other must be somewhere else! But I was actually parked a few meters to the left of my comrade waiting for the rush of mediums
At first, they were capping, then they went to search for me but in the end, they capped.

Btw, a premium HE shell from obj 261 can cause a LOT of damage in an E5 if it gets penetrated by it :D
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 08-03-2014, 08:03:38
Yeah we couldn't form a good second team against a scrubs clan that landed in one of our provinces (We had a much more important CW battle going on), so we fought without a well made team, many failowes and few TDs (Map was Highway) and inferior in numbers, my Maus was picked for the battle and I fought like a lion against oh my, tons of reds shooting shiny HEAT and APCR, fuck that, CWs and I'm shooting AP because I can aim and you shitty tanks with bad armor CANT.

Got it locked for a week after the battle, we lost of course, failowes aint no match for OP invisitds.

However, Maus is bringing my stats down, WR is going up because I'm platooned with great players but WN8 is... I mean to get good WN8 you must kill kill kill kill, and I don't see the Maus as a killing machine, I'm taking the shots someone else shouldn't take, I'm angling, blocking flanks etc, I have stopped an entire attack on a flank by just simply being there, without firing a single shot, everyone was confused, nobody knew what to do against a sidescrapping Maus yet everyone was too scared to rush me, Maus is scary you know, but I still had no chance to return fire, when I did, either it bounces, misses or I'm too scared to show them my turret weakspot, hmm.

All my deaths in the Maus are the same, support dies, everyone proceeds to surround me to shoot in all directions:

(http://i.imgur.com/Z4V2gIK.jpg)

I thought it was going to be a terribleshittyomgbad tank but it isn't, it's actually pretty fun. Granted, you must know angling and you must accept that MM TOTALLY controls your destiny, if it wants you dead he'll pick Sand River or Red Shire, or he will be a good guy and give you Himmelsdorf or Ensk, or maybe Windstorm with good mediums on your team.

Sounds like E100 apart from the E100 having much worse armour and a howitzer instead. With that reload and mobility, you can get downed  pretty quickly if alone (Ok, I circled a Maus on this American map in my E100 so it can't get worse than Maus, right?). What I don't really get is why the E100 has to have so may glaring weakspots. It actually has much worse armour than the E75 most of the time. E75 has really good armour for it's mobility. It has a small but strong turret that you can and have to have facing to the most dangerous opponent and a LFP that if angled can bounce some high tier guns. Now the E100 is gigantic, slow, has a hull with a LFP worse than E75 and a giant weakspot called turrett. If you angle it, it can bounce some shots, granted. Good players just will proceed to hit the rangefinder or the lower unangled turrett base. Another possibilty is to hit the tracks at the front wheel as the armour behind it seems to be made of paper. Why? Because of the 15cm? 15cm wielding TDs don't have that much weakspots but have high view ranges, high camo ratings and high RoFs. You also have to shoot gold in high tier games and HEAT is prone to bounce because of weird angles (IS-7, I am looking at you).
It seems to be that the E100 is inferior in almost every aspect to the T110E4. I know this is World of Tankdestroyers but couldn't they give the 15cm at least a bit more penetration? Shooting unreliable gold ammo makes the credits loss HUGE. I won 20k credits once because I a) did not get damaged and b) shot only HE and sometimes even penetrated on meds (Yes, I know, T10 is not made to make credits but it does not have to ruin you in one single round, right?).

Complete coincidence / bad luck streak. My average is 65-75% for most tanks eventually but I've had tanks that had either 40 or 90% after the first 80 matches, despite their/my own performance. Usually it'll only settle after 200 battles or so.

Yes, I'm not really interested in the E-100, maybe one day, but it's not my "Next Tier X to unlock" at all, I will get the E-75 and stop there, really think if the E-100 is worth the 6mil credits

I'm starting to despair with the AMX AC 48.  I just cannot win games in it.  Solo = loss.  Platoon = loss.  My usual platoon mate said last night that from now on he refuses to play with me if I use it.

I just don't understand why I have a 40.5% winrate in it (after 85 battles).  It is a total beast, and one of the most fun tanks to play that I've tried.

Had the same problem with the AC 48, always seems to get into bad teams. It always takes two or three battles to get a double or x3, or a few times were we get players driving OP Tanks with great winrate but they go full retard and lose the game for us.

It's a very fun tank though.

You'll also have to keep in mind that tank destroyers are support tanks. They're great at doing damage, but you generally have to 'sacrifice' your teammates in order to do damage. Means that you can have a great match with a lot of damage, but that meanwhile your team may have lost too many tanks and you still lose. You can't use your own tank to absorb damage or hold a line. Means that you could lose a lot despite the vehicle itself being an above average performer. The key to winning is, in the time that both teams expose themselves, to do more damage to the enemy than the enemy did to your team. Which is hard.

Yeah this. TD's simply can't carry a match, it still has to be done by heavy tanks or good mediums in the first place. You need someone who can spot, withstand or dodge a shot, and finish the target you've just wrecked.

This of course does not include the whole WoT community but you can clearly see that people driving the Foch 155 and Waffenträger still do better than their armoured collegues (Foch 155 may count as heavily armoured, I don't know). Also, check out Hellcat stats, it clearly sticks out like a sore thumb. I still don't think good armour is that usefull most of the time. Good cover is. Track a Maus or a E100 on an open field and they are dead as fast as the paper TDs. Also having an AMX 50 100 with decent health in the end in a Tier 8 match will enhance your win chance dramatically (in anything under 3 vs 3 tanks that are not at full health) because it can just eat up an IS-3 while it fires one or two shells. My winrate on that tank sucks hardcore though ;D Armour is no substitue for gun. Waffenträger auf E100 is so much better than Jagdpanzer E100 for maybe two reasons: Superior armament and superior mobility (view range too I guess).

Post by: Sander93 on 09-03-2014, 17:03:02
I was talking about ability to absorb damage and hold lines which is something TDs can't really do because they either don't have the armor or they get outflanked easily. Anyway the entire point was that support tanks (most TD's, but also tanks like the Leopard 1) rely on dealing damage and even if a particular vehicle is great at dealing damage, it will have to rely on sacrificing teammates to deal that damage and it can not hold ground because it's either poorly armored or immobile. Which is why these tanks can have good performance stats but bad win ratios.

I also have this problem in say the Leopard 1. One of the highest DPB of my collection, but the win ratio is below average. It's a support tank in its purest form and even though it's great at making proper teams win  faster, it can't really turn battles completely around like an IS-7 or T110E5 could because its missing the ability to take some shots or hold a position.

Nobody.Fucks.With.T49

(http://i.imgur.com/C7GAqW8.jpg)

Epic one vs one fight with KV-1, tracking him, slowly retreating till I got him where I wanted, can see his track (permatracking him), while damaging and he was unable to fight back, SU-100Y pushes me, I decide to go around, he kinda knows about it and is turning to face me, I make one mistake that could cost the game, charge directly into him, last moment break to the left and he misses, beaufitul, I got his sides.

Kill remaining tanks with low HP using my platoonmate KV-1 as decoy, he is killed while I have a one on one fight with Hellcat. I leave my favorite spot in K-4 to go towards the island and then to the middle hill, passing near their base. He is capping, I spot him somehow from the hill, got a FANTASTIC OMG RNG shot on his "roof" and another one to bring his hp down to 154, with three shots left, I fire once which goes nowhere, a third later on which is a complete blind shot that resets.

One shot remaining, he is one shot from death, I leave hill, going mid as open as I can, to avoid getting detected, I pop out in my base, he is not there, where is he? Behind the pillbox, I see him first, no chance guy, you are dead.

Also, the Maus has a pretty bad reputation on WoT. It lives on it's legendary armor that used to bounce shitload of shots, today? it can, of course, I've bounced lots of E3s last night on CW, and two days ago it was impossible to kill my Maus on Sand River, took just two hits and one was from arty, let alone that win on Prokhorovka where I took NO DAMAGE, bounced absolutely everything.


But I was making the most of my armor, I wasn't just "Eh, whatever, shoot, not a single fuck is given", I was angling, I think... Maus still got it.

Sure it may not be the axis of a team in Sand River like it can be on Himmelsdorf, but it can still do it's part.


But still, I took a 1800 dmg hit from a FV 215b 183 firing HE... and a fire which insta-killed me, and I had a fucking automatic fire extinguisher!

Maus in WoT has it's role, but the thing is, it's not what you'd expect from him!
It's the same thing like the Tigers, just on tier X. People think it's an undestructible machine only because it's damn huge and darn well armoured. Well, yes, if it had to face Pershings, IS2s or puny Shermans/T34s.

But in WoT, Maus has to face post war weaponry so it is crucial that the driver must use brainz to cope with the situation, he needs to make his armour most usefull.
As I've heard from your stories, you have no such problems making your maus work  :) , but some people are just plain stupid and won't learn how to drive the damn thing so they just say: OMGG, RETARD WG NERFING DEUTSCH TIER X, SO MUCH RUSKI BIASSS

I mean, chill!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 12-04-2014, 18:04:59
Well, the Maus is only good when the enemies are bad. Any capable enemy will either swarm a Maus or if it's in a chokepoint, move around. It's fun to absorb 8.000-12.000 damage but as a tank it's severely worse than IS-7s and T110E5s, which can both absorb and deal damage. Not to mention it's arty food on most maps.

If they ever remove the gold ammo (lol not gonna happen) it'd be good again. Right now everyone just loads APCR/HEAT and penetrates the LFP or flat part of the turret. Angling won't do much against 350-450 penetration shells. Performance in clan wars doesn't really say anything unless you're playing against Pirates and Fame etc.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 12-04-2014, 19:04:57
I don't usually get swarmed, I always stick with my teammates, the only times I get swarmed is when I'm the last one standing, for quite obvious reasons, in fact, I think I never died early in a game in my Maus so far. I'm constantly keeping my distance between my enemies..., in pubs it's hard to do because of general stupidity but I still get a platoonmate or two to help me out, in CWs it's easier to do because everyone cooperates.

Gold rounds are a problem yes, but I Can always find a way to deal with them... I can always shoot back, however, I think Arty is worse, especially that Conqueror GC. They have too much splash AND too much damage and you can't fight them back.

Its a gamebreaking combination.

The only thing I don't like abvout 9.0 is the look of some american tanks (Pershing and T32 that I have) with stock paint job, they look kind of silly

Damn, if I only knew about this before. I ammo racked 2 tanks in a row on my T69. One was an enemy T69 the other a T54. They were standing next to each other and it looked awesome, specially the T54 ;D.

its

just acceptable

great ramming tank tough

10 matches in, here is my verdict=

This is a great frikking ramming tank!

I spotted a batchat, i fired mah howitzer, his track blew off, friendly blows his tracks again off, i charge in fullspeed and slam into the batchat, with only a few HP left, i finish him off with the howitzer

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 01-05-2014, 10:05:33
Got myself alot of new tanks due to all the gold I've won (garage slots ftw):

T-44: Nice once fully upgraded. I don't know why one hast to do 320k+ XP to get to the next tank. Is there any T8 that has a longer grind out there? King Tiger has 270k maybe and AMX 50 100 even far less.

AMX 50 120: I really love it with the top gun. Gun elevation is a pain in the ass but compared to my other T9 tank, the E75, the gun is just so much better even with the reduced alpha (it has 10 more DMG compared to the 105mm of the T54E1, wtf, I don't understand their caliber to damage relation).
Dont' think I'll buy the AMX 50 B as it is outclassed in almost any regard by the T57H.

Panzer II: Such a fun seal clubbing tank. The gun is pretty stable even at full auto. It's armour is ok but it's speed is bad.

BT-2: I rebought the tank I played when I made my first 200 battles. It's not nearly as agile as the BT-7 but at least it doesn't get thrown into freaking T5 matches all the time.

Cruiser IV: Love this thing, the Bofors is just awesome and with the soundpack it even sounds awesome. I ceased platooning with it because it gave a guaranteed T5 match (don't know why)

IS: I don't know, it's not bad, I've yet to unlock the top gun and the engine. I seemed to do alot better with the 100mm. I prefer my Tiger alot.

AMX 12t: Horrible mobility, awesome camo rating. Malinovka is a joy.

AMX 13 75: Same thing only a bit more mobile and better gun handling.

KV-1: Man, I nearly forgot how OP it is.

British arty line: Tier 3 was really nice, hated the tier 4, loved the Bishopp apart from it's mobility and that FV304, an ELC combined with arty, just a really awesome toy.

GW Panther: I didn't really like the Hummel, I was pretty bad in it. The GW Panther is my favourite arty so far on par with FV304, I mostly platoon with a friend who has the M12 and we are doing pretty fine (55-60% WR which is awesome for me as I usually am below 50% with arties). Had some matches with Luftwaffe's S-51. I don't know whether I should try it.

Tier 2 German arty: Horrible, just plain horrible. If it hits, it kills -->IF<-- horrible reload, small gun arc, horrible aim time.

Flakbus: Surprisingly I really enjoyed it. The FlaK 18 was fine on it and it was really fast.

Nashorn: My bane, it is below 50% WR. I mean, the gun is really awesome but it is too big and too slow in my opinion. I must be doing something wrong. I think I will stop the line after unlocking the Emil. Don't know I want to grind 60k XP with that puny 105mm with a big slow, horribly armoured battleship.

E100: It's not a new tank for me but I started using AP and it works surprisingly well sometimes. Unlike HEAT which loves to bounce on nearly everything, the AP actually does something ^^

That's it so far I guess.

@Ajappat: I can't keep up with you but I've made 1893 XP in my Tiger I and that in a premium 5x round ;D (It was already elited a long time ago but a nice crew boost is always welcome):

(http://puu.sh/8uxkd.jpg)

EDIT: Had to edit the screenshot as it had Kriegstreiber's Reichstag with all the swastikas. I mistook it for the one with the Soviet flags I always used. Loved that sniper medal. I'm sad it's gone.

Dont' think I'll buy the AMX 50 B as it is outclassed in almost any regard by the T57H.

If you're into manouvral warfare (like me) the AMX 50B outclasses the T57 Heavy by far. The T57 only has slightly better DPM due to faster reload but the 50B's speed completely makes up for everything. It can get to key spots faster than many mediums, and it can quickly relocate to the other side of the map or where ever it's needed most which is one of the most important factors of winning battles. The speed makes it able to flank quite easily, which means that in the end the actual DPM could be even higher than the T57's because you don't have to face front armor all the time (and bounce less).

I've played both. The T57 is fun for the quick burst damage but if you take away the gun it's a rubbish platform, while the AMX 50B is a much better all-rounder. It's my most favorite tank of the game and I love showing T57s who's the true king of autoloaders.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: ajappat on 01-05-2014, 10:05:19
Also, AMX 50b has APCR for gold ammo. Much better than HEAT.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 01-05-2014, 11:05:02
Ok, I see your points. Now if I should buy it, should I keep the AMX 50 120? Is it worth to be kept additionally? I really like it but if the 50 B does everything just a bit better, I guess I'd be better off just selling it (especially because of the crew).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 01-05-2014, 12:05:13
The 50B is a 50 120 but one tier higher. Faster reload, better mobility, autobounce hull armor, etc. The only drawback is obviously that it gets higher matchmaking. Keeping or selling the tier 9 is completely up to you, I personally found it to be one of the best and most fun tier 9s.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 01-05-2014, 12:05:18
Thank you, I kinda vouched for keeping it. Now I've just gotta put a good crew into the 50 B; problematic.
I've got decent crews for 50 100 and 50 120 and my best crew of all my garage sits in the BDR G1B.
I think putting the 50 100 crew into the 50 B would definitely be good but would leave the 50 100 without a decent crew (my WR sucks anyway, I don't think a bad crew would worsen it too much, lol) which may be bad for TCs as Tiger II and T-44 just don't cut it there (especially the former).
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 01-05-2014, 19:05:00
While I absolutely love 50 120s massive firepower, It's VERY difficult to use. I have like 270 games in it, 49%WR which was a devasting 46% last week, 371 kills and a not-so-good 1674 average damage per game, which I'm working on.

This tank went trough three stages of my time in WoT, when it was my first Tier IX tank, when I was improving to join CAZA (which requires you to be very good, not a unicum kind of player but very good) and now, being part of CAZA, I've learned a lot, strategies, when to be aggressive, when to stay back and save your hp, positioning... all of that shit, indirectly, I got a lot better on the 50 120 and my stats with it have started to go up since I picked up for the third, last time.

I will try to make a massive amount of EXP today, day started damn well as I carried my team in the first match, then got 500 gold for killing a WG employee, he was an IS-6, tracked, with only a T29 defending him, it's impossible to fail, I have everything to kill him...



I asked him for M60 codes instead of 500 gold tho :P
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 01-05-2014, 19:05:04
I've got 60% in 85 battles so far. It's pretty amazing. I struggle to keep my 75% in the E75, I don't know why. One usually has to stay back as better player (at least I do as an above average player) but the E75 is not made to stay back, maybe that's why.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 01-05-2014, 20:05:31
I got about 2700 average in both accounts, and 2 kills per battle. Surprisingly enough it's on par with my E-75 and obviously it loses to the TDs (704 and WFPzIV both 3100). Not the best tank, but it certainly ain't bad either. Burst damage is a great reward for players who actually attempt to flank.

Do you remember your skills for the 50 B? I'm about to get the 3rd on the 50 120, BiA perhaps? I have standard repairs and 6th sense as first and second comes with safe stowage which is a must because this things loves ammorack damage and things to help me kill stuff while moving.

Safe stowage doesn't decrease ammo rack damage, it only decreases the chance to explode. Since I've never been ammoracked (as in blown up) in all of my 1300 matches it's a useless skill.

The skills on my highest trained account are like this
(http://i61.tinypic.com/2jdgrco.jpg)
although as of late I changed my mind about the setups and now I usually give the camouflage skill priority. The other skills only add 3-5% which is kinda neglectable but the camo skill does more, and moreover not getting seen means taking less damage which in turn means better survivability, higher damage and higher chance to win.

Post by: Dukat on 02-05-2014, 14:05:15
Camo is just great. You know the distance at which you usually get seen, you close in on the enemy line, you see an enemy and target him, but he doesn't see you. You target long and deliberately, then you shoot and you can see how the enemy can spot you then. Depending on the distance and your camo level, the enemy might not even get enough time to shoot properly, because you disappear from his view that quickly.

Danke, I have been ammoracked quite a lot in my 50 120 tho.

I'm trying to make money for the 50 B and finally got out of this ugly piece of shit AMX 13 105, but I can't sell it because WG thinks I bought it on discount, and I bought it months ago.... GJ.

WZ-111 is so much fun, and I don't even have the 130mm!!
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 04-05-2014, 09:05:51
Ammo rack indeed gets hit quite often but I don't remember being blown sky high yet ;D
So camo is the most important one? I mostly had snap shot, smooth ride and view range extending skills first (which I sometimes later replaced by perks). I've heard it is pretty smart to train it on mediums, so far I've only done it on lights. I mostly use my medium tanks pretty offensively but I think a good camo skill would help me alot in the end game.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 04-05-2014, 13:05:47
Those skills add about 3%. Any improvement is barely noticeable. Camouflage on the other hand has a better base bonus and will improve survivability and therefore indirectly influences combat performance as well (getting seen less = taking less damage = more time to deal damage). So in my book, camouflage skill has priority.

Nerfs to Tiger I, Tiger P, AT7, Hellcat, Sherman (105), T18, T29, T40.

Buffs to Jagdpanzer IV, Panzer I, VK2801, VK3001P, Cruiser Mk1, Medium MkII, UC2pdr, T32, A-32, BT-7, MT-25, SU-101, T-28, T-46.

Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 09-05-2014, 23:05:48
There are few Soviet tanks that are truly OP, which stands way above others.

KV-1S, COULD BE, it's the same as the FV 215b 183, it's only OP when it fires, when actually, when it hits something.

A Soviet tank that stands above others is the T-54 which is ridiculous, Obj. 268 OP days are long gone even more with the nerf and the removal of special camo to TD class.

Soviet Tier 10 mediums are great yes, but in clan wars we still prefer batchats, in fact, T-62s, Obj.140s are nothing but to support the BC.

After that, I don't see any other soviet tank being ridiculously OP as some people claim.

Some people claim WG actually makes Soviet tanks be superior to everyone else, well I'd love to see how the IS-7 or IS-4 (Talk about getting a massive nerf... heh) is superior to the T110E5, how IS-3 just makes 110 obsolete, how IS makes T29 look like a piece of shit, how ISU makes Rhm. look underpowered :P

I love to ask a question to these people, if WG loves their SOVIET TONKS so much, why does the WTE100 even exist?.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer) on 09-05-2014, 23:05:46
I'd actually take an IS7 (maybe even 4) against an E5  :P
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: ajappat on 10-05-2014, 07:05:08
Yup, I think IS-7 is better than E5 unless it's bad terrain for IS-7's worse gun depression. I guess te main difference is massive alpha and chance to actually bounce some shots even in gold ammo filled CW.

It's funny though, even if I think russians in general are not OP, that's what we use a lot in CW. 50/50 bachats and russian meds, often group of IS-7's with maybe 1 or 2 E5's to bring that depression and verastility into battle. As supports we used to have 268 and now we use 263 + brit heavy or autoloader heavy.

That's abviously just crude generalization and not fitting to some special maps at all, but it's quite russian biased isn't it  :P.

Post by: |7th|Nighthawk on 10-05-2014, 10:05:55
I'm sad they will nerf the Tiger and I don't really understand the changes. It's mobility was completely destroyed in the last patch in exchange for a massive DPM. Now they make the gun more inaccurate, take away HP and nerf the accuracy of the gun while turning the painfully slow turrett? Why is that? We already have the Tiger II as useless tank after it, no need to do the same on tier 7 (I used to like the King Tiger but damn, what a piece of trash it has become).
It gets module damage with every hit it receives already and is a giant brick without armour (yeah, I know sidescraping bla bla, but that turrett still is made out of butter, especially the roof).

Tier IX has the worst stock grind, about 114.000 exp needed to unlock the tracks, turret and 130mm on the WZ-111 1-4, you just CAN'T go there without free exp, it's brutal... the positive thing is that the WZ stock is not bad, the 100mm is a fantastic DPM gun.

There are a few stock grinds that aren't that bad, Foch being one hehe, but overall the majority looks terrible.



Bought Pz. IV Schmalturm yesterday, just for the lolz, well I can actually give it a good use and train my future E-50M and Leopard 1 crew in it, better crew trainer than the Pzkpfw 739 (f) for sure.

Actually, I grinded the wz-111 stock. No tracks, no turret, no gun, just buying and grinding till the next tank. Works perfectly. The 113 only costs 200 K xp, which is still cheaper then getting the fully upgraded Wz-111, so why bother ?

Well, M46 patton tank unlocked. She has the second engine, second gun and the tracks. Vertical stabilizer, rammer and Ventilation. Crew it at 100% thanks to the very cheap gold training.

The 90mm T15 is far more accurate on the M46 then on the M26 pershing. And the gun reloads in 6.42 secs compared to 7.13 seconds on the M26. Mobility is also slightly better (17.7HP compared to 16.7) so i cant wait to get that top engine installed

Great tank. I'm frikkin loving it!

I could have opted for the Panther/M10 but, I kinda wanted the Schmalturm because it looks badass, and I miss it from the times of beta...

Actually, I grinded the wz-111 stock. No tracks, no turret, no gun, just buying and grinding till the next tank. Works perfectly. The 113 only costs 200 K xp, which is still cheaper then getting the fully upgraded Wz-111, so why bother ?

I considered that option but since I'm keeping the 111... while the WZ stock is not bad at all, it's not on par with other IX heavies while stock. It does great against mediums yes, but more than once you'll be the only IX heavy in your team, meaning that you have to fill the Heavy job even if you don't like it, that is where the punchy 130mm comes into play. Sometimes you are the one that has to brawl with that E-75 and the 100mm it's lacking that one hit firepower the 130mm has.

I'm not in a hurry for the 113 tho, I really want to get this thing fully upgraded expcept for the Engine that I'm saving for last. Would you tell me your experience on the 113?, so far everyone told me it's not THAT special and it's not even like the 110 and 111.

Still, you have to work with what you have. Sadly for us, Tier IX has the worst grind.

I didn't have the 130mm on the WZ-111 for like 91 battles, but still I managed to keep the 100mm working with an average damage of 1500, which isn't great but it's there, almost the tank's HP. It's rather simple, you must find a way to get your gun working and putting effective shots on your enemy, remember that the more damage you do, the bigger the chances to win are.

When I ground the stock Patton, I used the T20's 90mm with 100% gold ammo (paid with credits) to unlock the tracks, I then continued to use that until I could free xp the 105mm.  Pro-tip, this is expensive.  Must have spent nearly a million credits on that ammo.

people say it's a Chinese IS7. It's not. Not at all, the IS7 outclasses this tank in almost every aspect.

The 113 is a heavy that wants to be a medium. it has very nice mobility and a 122 gun that is pretty accurate, even on the move. The turret is unpenetrable from the front, but the side "cheeks" just suck balls, unlike the IS7 that has a good turret all around. The armour on this thing seems far from ideal. good enough for the occasional medium, but inadequate for a tier x heavy. It is indeed an unimpressive mediocre tank.

As a patton player with high winrate, I think I could say something about this tank...

1. Free XP the tracks

save up some free XP for the tracks, without the tracks, this tank is next to unplayable because you cannot put equipments or the better 90mm gun (the 180 pen one) on it. (still better than stock ARLv39)

2. play it like a Pershing when stock

seriously, with that 90mm gun you would not be able to bully even tier 8s, let alone facing tier 9 or 10s. The gun sucks big time so you cannot contribute much damage wise but you had one advantage: 400m of view range. Try to put on equipments that improves your view range. If you don't want to use too many gold rounds then rammer optics binocs which would allow you to contribute when you get into a map that is not about close-quarters, else the standard medium outfit of rammer vstab optics is usually enough.

Spotting in a medium tank like patton (relatively slow and big target) has to be done conservatively, usually by finding a nice bush that allows you to spot enemies for your teammates. In the case of patton, it can also use a slope to peek your turret out for spotting and as well getting a shot off if possible then retreat (best if there was a bush on top of slope). Do not put your life at risk just to get a shot off. The turret is good enough against tier 7 or some tier 8s if there wasn't immediate risk of arty. It is a good exercise learning to hide with relatively low camo values (knowing no-go zone or zones you can fire without being spotted).

Since your only advantage is spotting, it is not recommended to snipe if there wasn't any tanks that would do the spotting in team.

Do not be on the frontline without terrain cover. That hull isn't going to bounce anything and enemy can just auto-aim at you. With terrain cover, however, you can be rather aggressive since people had actually to aim carefully at your turret cheeks/cupola to damage you. As always, always make sure there are someone behind you so enemies don't just rush you and kill you.

If you are forced to fight in cities, try perma-tracking (hitting the first wheel) with your ROF.

Load a lot of gold ammo, you are going to need them against pretty much anything above tier 8 if you don't want to spend too much time aiming (which could get you killed). Normal AP rounds are good for side-shots and lightly armored targets. HE rounds aren't that good on this gun but you can load a couple just to fight those German TDs or for tracking.


3. Research the gun first

That 105mm is like a gift from god. With it even tier 10s have to fear you. As always, try to minimize exposure time if possible. You do not need gold rounds against lower tiers or even same tiers any more. Still, you want to load gold when you see tanks like T-54 or E-75.


4. With top turret, you can stat pad like no tomorrow

Your DPM will allow you to bully tier 8 and make people cry OP-ness (use terrain and abuse your fast aim-time to increase the pain and cause panic). You can safely go against most 700 HP targets when they cannot one-shot you. Still, your nemesis is... SU-122-44... if on same HP he will kill you before you kill him lol. Spotting is no longer your primary role and remember to retreat to snipe/support if you are low on HP as your gun is super lethal (450m+ long range sniping is not recommended as gun accuracy is not good).


5. Get a friend or two to platoon

Want a meatshield? Or just someone to chat with? Play with a friend! It is easier for two persons to see each other's weakness or just to share some sweet spots on map that you just discovered. Voice comms also improve your situation awareness and is highly recommended.

The usual best combo for tier 9 is 1 medium (like T-54/Patton), 1 meatshield (like E-75/M103) and 1 autoloader (like T54E1/AMX 50 120) and it is possible to get 30-40 win streaks.

For the love of god Jagdpanther II is amazing!, why the fuck would you want a slow-ass-not-so-good-armoured Ferdinand when you can get that OMG 12,8cm gun anywhere in just seconds?

Dat superstructure can bounce a lot of shit, I got the mastery badge twice when using the 10,5cm DPMing the shit out of everyone and the second game with the 12,8cm got me a third mastery badge.


GG Ferdi, you better get buffed. I'm NOT looking forward to the Jagdtiger, more Ferdi bs, slow, armor not-so-good, only the gun remains good but WT Pz.IV will fire much faster and have better cammo. I'm just going for JPzE100 ridiculous alpha.

Well, I must say the JT is quite awesome, not as mobile as the JPs but still quite a threat.
The better 128 will chew through almost anything and the superstructure can bounce often, but do not rely on the armour in T10 games.
The best quality about this tank is its  second gun. And it's sooo good it makes it quite fun to play the JT  ;D

Torenico I had exact same feeling about JT when still at JP2. First I bought ferdinand and just couldn't make it work, then I bought JP2 and it was awesome indeed. Jagdtiger however turned out to be quite good, that gun really makes up for it.

Bare in mind though, that I played them all before engine nerfs.

Post by: Torenico on 12-09-2014, 08:09:03
I've used the JT a few times in the test server and like +200 battles or so with the 8,8cm JT, I found the armor to be incredibly annoying. The 88mm can bully people because it's Tier VIII, the lower plate is terrible, the upper plate is good, the superstructure I think it's 242mm, flat, will suffer a lot against gold rounds, ISU-152 just laughs at your pathetic attempt to go hulldown. The 88mm version even has a better lower plate, for reasons, it's 120mm vs 100mm on the JT, but it's laughably slow and turns like a Maus with a dead driver. You can't really use the JT as an assault gun because it's not well armoured for that, you can't sit back and snipe because it has terrible cammo. That thing lives thanks to it's gun and that's pretty much it.

Literally, the JT has the same weakspots as the Maus, E-100 and JpzE100, "Strong" cheeks but unangled, only in the Maus it's not the biggest deal. Plus it will be incredibly annoying to have a new loader in the JT, pretty much forces you to use the obsolete Ferdinand.

Yes, although I can hardly imagine they won't nerf at least the T49. It's kinda situational but it can still do lots of damage even to tier 10s fairly easily. Then again they also kept the Waffentrager E-100 which was and still is OP as fuck so anything's possible.

At least after 5 years they finally decided to remove the transmission-hit-causes-engine-fire-bullshit for German tanks, so we got that going for us which is nice.

So I kinda don't need Tier Xs anymore, as my clan shifted from CW to competitive play, Skirmishes, that league sort of thing and stuff like that, you'd become better by playing in these tournaments with 7v7 than in a 15v15 CW battle. It relieves huge pressure from me, I absolutely hate Tier X gameplay, ridiculous shit such as WTE100, all Artilleries, FV215b 183 ruin all the fun for me, maybe I'll get a few Tier Xs for the lols, like the JpzE100 and T-62A, it remains to be seen.

I have three Xs, Maus is, uhm, kinda fun to bounce shit but at the end of the day the ridiculously bad DPM kills the tank, I can play with the low speed, yes, but give me good DPM for gods sake. AMX 50b is the best I have, yet since I hate Tier Xs I barely used it. 113 is the most succesful, but it's so, stupid. I mean, it doesn't have anything good over a, say, T110E5, the frontal armor is trollish but in close combat it's just worthless, the gun reloads okay, good enough for me, the speed is alright I guess, the turret cheeks can be penned quite easily... in my experience, they were, it's massive tank that takes a lot of damage by throwing a fucking hand grenade at it, and since every fucking 43%er clicker out there didn't kill it yet, well, you pretty much have to live behind a rock or face the consequences, and sometimes not even that thanks to the ridiculous Conqueror GC. I moved it's crew back to the 110 after a BS game in Steppes where the enemy had two terribads M53/55s plattooned, the moment I moved out of cover I had two shells landing at me. I won't even talk about the gun depression that is ridiculous for reasons.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 21-09-2014, 20:09:50
I think the game would be a lot better if they finally closed in the tier balance, so you can only get max -1 or +1MM instead of 2. I don't like driving anything lower than tier 9-10 because 60% of the time you end up in tier +2 matches where the top tiers in your team suck and there's nothing you can do about it. Most tier 7 tanks can't do shit against tier 9s, yet they often end up having to fight them. Same goes for pretty much all the tiers.

In War Thunder you only get matched against tanks of your own tier, which makes the game way more fun IMO.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Kalkalash on 22-09-2014, 06:09:02
Oh god, please no. There's nothing more boring in the game than being in a match where all the tanks are the same tier (or with one tier difference). It just turns into a massive slugfest with no dynamic elements or challenges at all. I'd argue that most tanks do just fine against tanks two tiers higher, with a couple of exceptions. For example, any tier VII with at least a 170mm of pen can go frontally against most tier IXs. For the rest, it's all about flanking and maneuvering.

I do agree that being the bottom tier makes you quite dependent on the top tiers but you just have to live with it. The main problem with the +2 match making is that at higher tiers the gap between tiers is bigger than at lower tiers (it's harder to go against a tier X in a tier VIII than against a tier VIII in a tier VI), which means that all those monkeys who reached the top tiers just by botting will ruin the game for you. The best solution would be to just lessen the penalties you get from losing, so that if someone on the losing team does better than anyone on the winning team, he should obviously get the biggest reward.

To be honest, I was expecting you to be the last to complain about the tier difference, considering that you are one of the better players in WoT.

I would like +-1 MM. Most tanks I play anyway, are limited MM premiums or tier 9 and 10.

The thing I most hate about larger tier spread, is the huge difference in tiers. It's not enough that you propably have every apsect worse than your 2 tiers higher counterpart, but you also have to do with half the hitpoints. I know most of my best games are in higher tier matches due to huge xp bonus against higher tier opponents, but I still don't like it. Specially tier 3 against 5 and 7 against 9 seem to be full of problems.

Also, MM seems to mess up with platoons a lot of times, specially on lower tiers. It's way too often that I find my platoon with tier 6 (or lower) tanks to be ONLY tier 6 tanks in match. Only 7 and 8 in enemy team.

To be honest, I was expecting you to be the last to complain about the tier difference, considering that you are one of the better players in WoT.

I have no problems fighting tier +2 but I dislike losing (despite my very best efforts) and that's what I'm mainly talking about. Even in platoons with two other unicums there's pretty often nothing we can do when we aren't top tiers.

And besides that very few tanks could win a 1v1 fight against something two tiers higher, especially tier 7 (mediums) against tier 9 heavies. A good E-75 player is invulnurable to anything below tier 9 guns. Another example are KV-1S against tier 4 tanks. Besides the armor there's also the problem of hitpoints.

I've given up playing pretty much every tank lower than tier 9 because of the fact that in the end, I would lose so many times because of terribad top tiers that it just wasn't fun for me anymore.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 23-09-2014, 00:09:33
I'm worried, KV-85 looks a bit ridiculous, the 122mm despite being shittier is still workable, I would have made a Tier 7 prem named KV-122 and removed the 122mm from the KV-85 at once, or nerf the alpha and gun depression on the 122mm, which was the biggest problem, in combination with the stalin speed of the tank. These three factors made it a pathetic tank that could roll over 400 on a IS-3 because shut up.

But still, the new KV-85 will be very good, and since everyone is looking at it and almost nobody pays attention to the new problem, which has the same name, KV-1S at Tier V with the 122mm derp.

That derp was kinda shit on the KV-1 because the KV-1 can't flank anything, so you had to rely on frontal shots most of the time. But with a KV-1S?, You have some speed, you can flank, HEAT and HE, almost the same alpha.

Why the fuck not, WG?.

I'd rather have a good tiger I player in my team then tomato E-75. besides, a tiger I can penetrate a E-75 frontally anyway, despite being 2 tiers lower. You'd be surprised how few people know how to properly angle a tank anyway : they either don't do it, or they over do it so you can shoot at the sprockets.

The MM of the game is fine as it is IMHO. the only thing that they should change is to remove the stupid scout MM, and give light tanks the same MM as the other tanks on that tier

They're all pretty good, personally I'm unlocking the M41 Walker Bulldog soon as Wargaming's servers (dating 1900) allow me to finally patch because it was super fun on the test server. Great little tank.

The T49 is fun too, but really random. Sometimes you do 3000 damage, sometimes you bounce twice and die.

German one isn't bad either, but it's more of a medium tank than a light one.

Average damage will be higher, although not by much. On the first account I used I had around 3000 average damage per battle in the AMX 50B using normal shells, and on the second account using pretty much only premium shells I got 3400 right now. Win ratio obviously depends on various other factors such as platooning.

Although it really depends on the tank, because the 50B's penetration isn't that much higher. T-54 for example however gets a huge boost in penetration and can do much more damage using the HEAT shells.

Depending on how many games there are between those 50B matches on different account, I bet you would climb higher than 3k even without gold. Atleast some people usually learn something on the way  :P.

Something is wrong with my Schmalturm, it can't win, I go full potato when I play with my IV. S.

I mean, I've got 13 games and a terrible 31% WR in it, what in the name of fuck is going on. Something is wrong, I seriously need to think what the fuck is wrong with that tank. Last night I used it because I need credits BADLY, I was kicked out of the JT 8,8cm by terribad teams, so I went back to the IV. S. I was planting shots right at the ground, as if I was intentionally aiming for these places, dude pls. Turret armour was supposed to be good, yet a simple 36.01 was penning my turret. I was in a pretty neat hulldown position, because the gun depression allows you such things. But still.

I had my hp evaporated by a blunicum shooting Gold in his Pay2Win SU-100Y.

KV-85 it still is, atleast in city maps. All other maps are dominated by T37.

It's fun how they nerfed hellcat and KV-1S though, as now we have actually seen ARL 44, VK3601, KV-85 and M6 being used by decent clans. For fast tanks there also has been hellcats, cromwells and T37. It's pretty mixed up and that's just good.
Title: Re: World of Tanks

Open maps are dominated by T37s, backed up by a few Cromwells and very few Hellcats.

T37 is just broken, so good job to WG for introducing a broken Tier VI scout, a completely broken Tier VII scout and a Tier VIII scout with a 152mm gun because, why the fuck not?, why can't a light roll over 1k damage on a T95?.


Tier VI, competitive, is broken now, it wasn't when the KV-1S was around.

It sucks with the unicum handicaps though, can't rely on the armor because it gets penetrated by everything that even looks my way. And the armor is all it really has.

Here's a great example of why you don't need to be the best to win a Tier 10 CW reward tank:

http://wotlabs.net/na/clan/S-A-R

The average of my new clan is... green, and we got like 20/25 Tier Xs. Contrary to popular belief "oh only superunicum clans can into rewards!!!1", you just need a good commander and dedication, lots of it.


Had to leave my old clan to be in time for the Tier X stage, thanks to a bunch of greens often beating the shit out of blues, I got what I wanted.

IS-8 is awesome, fast, accurate (for being russian that is) and hits hard.

Sure it lacks armor but speed > armor in most cases.


A classic noob-trap, like the Lee (which is bad, but it's not as bad as that 43%er says it is) or Tiger I. It might not be the best Tier IX heavy but it's still good enough to be among the best.

Same thing for the gun turret on top of the AMX 50 Foch 155, if you get hit there the loader dies. Apparently he must be 3 meters tall to be loading the gun while having his head stuck in that cupola.

Yes but I have to care about angles, aiming at weakspots, tactical positioning, moving around engaging new threats, etc, a clicker will just press shit and send 2k damage from his base to a poor unfortunate IS-3 that isn't even camping.

Post by: Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer) on 23-01-2015, 17:01:49
Well, I like to play arty from time to time, but you knwo it's not "CLICK TO WIN" way or easy dmg.
You do depend a LOT on the team, and most heavy hitting arties are bad at hitting anything.
I fail to see the problem with arty, I take it as a part of the game, and always did, it serves a purpose in the game, and I don't really see how would it be *better* to implement it otherwise.

It's an arcade-ish game, so I deal with it as one.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 23-01-2015, 19:01:42
It should a pure support asset, not a tank-hunter monster that can one-shot things from his own base.


Arty fails to hit? yes, but that is because of RNG. Arty depends on RNG, arty players must count on RNG to have good games. Tier 8+ arty is just broken, especially the US arties and the retarded Conqueror Gun Carrier. They have way too much splash, way too much damage AND they get normal MM, as if we needed T92s oneshotting Tier 8s.

It's not fair, arty does not promote fair play. It does not erase camping either, how many times I ended up hugging rocks because 3 arties on the other side wanted to nuke me?.

WG sucks at balancing, whoever is in charge of their balance department is either someone appointed there to fill in that spot or someone who never plays the game. Arty needs a massive reduction in damage, slight increase in splash and reload, sure it doesn't make much sense having 210mm guns doing 850 damage at most, but it doesn't make any sense either to have T92s sniping Obj140s at full speed for full hp...

The so-called "Big arty nerf" was a lie, sure they made it more RNG-dependant (RNG... it completely ruins the balance between bad players and good players) but they gave them normal MM, and that is the biggest mistake WG ever done in arty.

Arty shouldn't be removed either, in CWs 15 guys camping is pretty hard to beat, if your teams brings a Conq or a 261 firing AP you can slowly work on them and get your win, arty there works just fine, it's supporting, it's not hunting tanks, it's not focusing on their best players no matter if they are top tier E100s, RU251s at full speed or a 43hp IS-3...

I don't play arty that much, I have the tier 7 french arty but I can't be bothered to play such a boring class. To me sitting in the base clicking things is not fun, depending on RNG way too much just sucks, I'd rather be there at the front killing stuff.
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Sander93 on 23-01-2015, 21:01:52
The whole concept of artillery in this game is retarded, in WWII artillery could barely hit a village and it has no place in a game shooting at tanks.

It was implemented as a solution to camping, but that completely backfired. Heavy artillery actually promotes safely camping behind solid objects. It's stupid, completely unrealistic, bad for gameplay, and there is no way it can ever be balanced.

What they should've done to counter camping instead was implementing smoke shells and smoke launchers, and exclude artillery from the game. Someone camping in their base? Launch a smoke shell into their face so they can't see anything while you flank around the chokepoint, instead of relying on artillery half the map away to magically snipe the guy.

LT-10: The ghost
Spot enemy vehicles and enable your allies to cause at least 1000 HP of damage to vehicles spotted by you. Remain unspotted at the moment when the damage is caused
I have been trying with tier 5 and 6 light tanks, a lot of failure. There are a couple of good maps with good hiding spots for spotting, that I know. However, these maps tend not to be in the roation, when I need them. Typical, I know. Also I think when multiple people are spotting the vehicle, i won't get the points - is this correct?

SPG-15: War Gods
Be among top 3 players on your team by experience earned and damage caused.
Cause at least 2000HP of damage
Currently I have tier 8 and tier 10 SPG's available. Its getting quite frustrating - I am often in the top 3 by damage caused, sometimes even in the first place. However experience earned tends to place me much lower, best I have done during these days is 5th place. Do I need to go into tank destroyer/ scout mode or something? So far the easiest way seems to be to have my team lose badly, while I hit as many enemies as I can...

Any tips on either of those missions? What tier vehicles would be best?
Title: Re: World of Tanks
Post by: Torenico on 27-01-2015, 07:01:30
The problem with these missions is that you depend too much on luck. I'd platoon with an arty for the LT mission and see if he can land some shots into whatever you spot, I don't know.

I think for the SPG mission your best option would be to play Tier VII/VIII Arty as, IIRC, you get more exp by doing damage to tanks that are higher tiers. I was told once that the key to get Mastery Badges on arty is to failplatoon but always hit tanks that are outside your MM spread.



Blocky tanks are very fun. At last, WG did something that is not frustrating at all. In one day I was able to get a crew for the T110E5, with the standard 6th sense + Repairs / BiA. Will use the Foch thing to train a crew for the Batchat.

I don't think this is much about tank, but more about map. Almost any light tank will do, just fit binocs and camo net and wait for malinovka or prokhorovka. I recently did my T-55 ghost mission on live oaks though, getting 4,8k spot dmg. About 4k of that unseen. There's really no way around bad maps for this.

Edit: Obviously if people shooting see the target, you won't get anything, but if you share the spot with other scout, all damage is divided between spotters equally.
