Man, the F-82E is painful. Hopefully it isn't complete trash with all new parts ::)

What is the button for instant zooming down your tank scope??
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

Oh, right, that might be the problem, i plaed US when they first came out so it was US vs US only
My advice? aim at the engine, since when I played the 37mm seemed to set al tanks on fire with the first shot, and if that doesn't work (I doubt it will, USSR tank have engines made of asbestos) and if that doesn't work... play something else? I dunno.

Thats the twin mustang, right? Well, its gets a nice speed increase then, but its still a big brick. only good for head ons and bomber attacks.

You gotta pick the right ones.

M4 and M4A1 are the kings of tier II, fun to play and borderline OP for their BR right now.

The Chaffee is really nice when you use it for flanking.

The Jumbos... I haven't had as much fun as in any other tank in the game as I've had in these .Especially the 75mm one. In simulator battles it's nearly invincible but still has two spawns, the Tigers and Panther D's you're facing can not penetrate the front armor at any distance. Meanwhile you can't penetrate them either with the 75mm which creates hilarious situations (for me). It usually ends with me spamming shells untill I break their gun and tracks which allows me to circle them for engine shots with premium ammo.  The 76mm gets better killing power, but also faces Tiger IIs and Jagdpanthers although they too usually can't penetrate the front armor. Both Jumbos generate shitloads of lions and RP because of all the damage it absorbes. Most matches I just deliberately park my Jumbo in the middle of a field at the most crowded lane of attack to distract several hopeless Germans so my team could go after the objective or flank and kill those who are busy shooting at me.
Paintjob always ends up like this:


I've heard the M26 Pershing is really good too, the M41 might be nice as well.



Rest of the tanks, don't touch them.

they made a forum post saying they need to tweak the other tanks still, they will release a new one every 2 to 3 weeks, or was it 2 to 3 per week, i don't remember.

Only 3 euros or something if you buy the Stuart. Skip lunch for a day if you can't afford it otherwise.  ;D

You can also apply to test them online to get access though I doubt free passes are being given out still. I signed up and am still waiting.


Theta, US tanks are easy, they pen everything and have a fast fire rate, you just need to aim for the right spots. Driver view ports, gun mantles, etc. I enjoyed them up to hitting the M4A1 and being locked out of the rest of the tree.



On a side note related to the US tree, fuck these M8A1 challenges. I've done every single one and still have yet to get the damned thing.


Man, the F-82E is painful. Hopefully it isn't complete trash with all new parts ::)

Thats the twin mustang, right? Well, its gets a nice speed increase then, but its still a big brick. only good for head ons and bomber attacks.


That was the impression I got. Hopefully the climb rate gets a bit better with upgrades. Truly the only reason I have it in my lineup is for boosted P-80 research, which seems to go at light speed with premium and the F-82. The premium Spit 9 and BTD also help though.

I love getting into jet matches in props, it is much more exciting than regular prop only matches. Shot down my first Ho. 229 last night. Just have a couple more jets to shoot down to finish "collecting" them all  :)
