I've played this game on and off for a while but have got back into it recently in an attempt to stay away from Eve Online which is a bit too much of a time sink for what I can do currently. I love Eve and am a director in fairly successful corporation etc so am not a 12 year old computer noob smile

The problem I am finding is that random battles are doing my head in, I either do really well with a good team or get blown to bits with a bad team frown

I think I need to get involved in a 'clan' ? I've tried the team thing but it just seems to be random russians hanging around for hours doing nothing.

Please tell me there is a noob friendly PH clan smile

I know exactly what you mean. Never managed to get into EVE myself although on paper it should be right up my strasse. I am currently in a clan myself, though will likely be looking for a clan wars active one once I get my CFA exams out of the way.

But between a full time job, being a director of a fairly mediocre company anhd my studies, it's just a pipe dream. Though Strongholds is a viable alternative for those short of time and is almost as much time. So if you want to stop doing your head in with random Russians, you should definitely do team battles or strongholds.

Yep no worries for an invite, but you need to leave your current clan [34DRC] first. Once you have left there is a cool down period of a day or two and then we can invite you smile

I've been on a few times when there have been other PH'ers on line, but with a lack of comms to talk to each other, platooning doesn't seem to happen as much as I thought it would. Is there any sort of protocol to follow to set up platoons?

not really, just ask in the VBRJ chat channel if anyone wants to platoon - seems to be the easiest way smile

There are times when I wonder why I stopped playing this game for so long, then in my jag d panther 2 with a tier 10 gun I lined up the side of an M12 arty with 12% health, press fire and took his track off causing 0 damage. Twice. irked

Couple of days ago was engaged in a one to one with a Hetzer with all the paint jobs etc, you get the picture.
Was getting the better of him until he decided to load gold and that was the end of me.
So in the next battle I was faced with a 3 to 1 fight and two of them happened to be Hetzer's ( yes revenge ).
Replay shows how many players underestimate an opponent when they are fighting in numbers and think as there are three of them it is going to be easy.
One of them could so easily have come in from behind me and that would have most probably been the end of me.

It is amazing how many teams don't capitalise on strength in numbers and attack lone enemies one at a time, a good few patches back I was in a tier 4 game driving a Matilda and left alone against 8 enemy tanks, the idiots just came at me in dribs and drabs so neutralised their advantage. Nice haul of medals that game.

There seems to have been an epidemic of bush-pushers on the 360 lately, these are behaviours that I define as anything encompassing morons who push you out of bushes or cover because they don't see you, because they want to use the bush or they just want to troll you. I've had 4 very obvious examples in the last week of malicious pushing, and at least a few where some moron has bumped me and knocked my camo net off because they couldn't see the giant outline of my tank on their screen.

Also similar, but equally retarded, are the idiots who park next to me when I'm binocs and camo net up spotting half the enemy team, and sit in the open shooting wildly, while parked so close they're almost touching me, meaning I have to back off or get nailed by arty and go down with them.

Idiots, idiots everywhere.

^^^ That pisses me right off.
The pushers are right pricks, does xbox show your stats ?
On the pc game I think there are some players who cannot take it that someone else has better stats, they revert to being vindictive and there are plenty of them about in the game, all one has to do is watch the chat that goes on during the game.

Sometimes makes me flip.

Lining up a kill shot in my Dicker Max a tomato in a Churchill knocks my aim off. By ramming me. No idea why but I reveresed and shot and killed him. Not something I normally do but a useless tool ruining the game got me.

Could anyone link me the PH clan page pls?
We had a few active members leave this weekend due to inactivity of the clan overall and I will likely be looking for a new one in june when i will have more time and will be looking for more competitive gameplay.

If people wish to play strongholds or clan wars with VBRJ it just needs someone to step up and organise, I'll happily hand over the appropriate ranks.
