I got a rager earlier, me in a pziv a heavy in a t1 and an arty on my side and a KV3 left on theirs, I've taken out 3 tanks and a big health pool out of them but have around 20 health remaining and am best described as walking wounded, the KV3 manages to take out our heavy and arty and seeing how this was going and certainly not being in a fit state to fight I was sat on the enemy base, because he couldn't get to me in time to kill me I got an arsy message calling me a coward.

Er no just playing the cards I've got as well as I can so I and my team mates come out with more points.

I will point out I normally prefer to kill all tanks but never understand the rage when people strategically capture.

QB was streaming WOT Xbox tonight, playing with some devs. One of the devs confirmed Xbox is getting the UK TD line "very very soon", which is cool I suppose but they mostly look st. The tier 8 look like the peak, the FV4005 Stage 2 will be a joy to shoot at in tier X games.

For some reason QB was in an M35/55 and popped up on a team with my platoon mate, but only landed one shot before he was counter-fired by the enemy arty who was watching his stream. Pretty lame tbh.

I saw him playing the Xbox version last week (I think, maybe the week before) and I couldn't get over how nice the game looked! Not in terms texture detail but the trees moving in the wind, rain on the screen, clouds going overhead and causing shadows on the ground, etc.

The environmental stuff has always been much better on the Xbox version. Even little details like the gun travel locks flapping around with the movement of the tank.

It can b a hindrance at times, like the fluffy grass can make it hard to shoot over ridgelines, 360 players don't have the grass so we're at an ironic disadvantage when shooting at them.

I saw the USA Xmas offers yesterday. Hopefully we'll get the same.

15% off tiers 8-10 is the main one I'm interested in. I just about have enough credits for the ST-I and RU 251. Need to farm like mad to get the Indien Panzer.

That will be good as I am not far off the ST-1 myself.

WOO HOO!

Have completed all the missions for the T28 HTC. Did LT15 on Prokhorovka in my AMX 13 90.

What a relief, and a nice pre-Xmas bonus.

Congratulations! I had a play of it and didn't enjoy it personally but for a free vehicle (albeit one that requires a significant effort to obtain) you can't knock it.

Has anyone been checking the advent calendar offers? Today's offer costs £72, and for that you get...
£72 worth of gold and a £2.50 tank (PzII ausf J)
I bet the WoT forums are collectively rolling their eyes on this one.
Also in the US they've said what tanks are going to be on offer on the different days but I don't think we have an equivalent list do we?

we have been playing Arty Battleships on the test server

15 minute practice room.

you free xp and buy a T9 or 10 arty of you choice.

You are not allowed to leave the cap circle!

wait till every one has loaded, and then its a free for all to try and kill the artys in the enemy cap circle

You can move between shots.

till you have just one round left if you survive!

then you have to go shotgun TD to the enemy's cap.

We were playing this on Wednesday on the beard guys live stream ( http://www.twitch.tv/thebeardguys). Unfortunately I only have a tier 5 arty so damage was limited but was good fun biggrin

last weeks games have been poop, averaging a 1400 wn8, but wr is in the 40s.

Just goes to show how broken the MM is, and how wild the RNG gets.
