World of Tanks (Vol 2)

[FiF]

Thanks.

It's really stupid though. There's no skill, you just auto aim.

Oh and you need to buy gold ammo because the standard ammo will mostly bounce.

The best tactic I have found it to jump into the other lane and throw away your tank to delay 2 of theirs. There's no repair costs and your team mates can just cap in 30 seconds flat.

That's reliant on your 2 team mates being able to navigate the circuit, which is of course a stretch for many of these window lickers.

It sounds like they're going to make Sixth Sense easier to get.

It'll no longer be a perk for the commander. Instead, the radio man (or whoever does that as a secondary role) will have it once they reach 100% of regular training.

I think that's a a good idea really. Newer players wont be at such a disadvantage any more.

That's good news, I have a couple of crews in tanks I'm sick of playing just to get up to sixth sense before moving them on to the next tier.

I had heard a while back that the whole existence of the sixth sense perk was in question, so this is actually a better way - make it much easier for all to have it.

The advantage of the racing is that it's a quick crew trainer for the American light line. 10 wins in, I've a 150% crew. If you get the 50 wins under your belt, you get extra xp.

Right you noobs, who has the biggest Dicker Max? Is there a bigger wallet warrior than me here? I will list my premiums. Beat my list.

Tier 2: T1E6-X
Tier 3: FCM36Pak40 (and possibly a Pz.Kpfw. S35 739(f) before the end of the day)
Tier 5: Matilda BP, T14
Tier 6: TOGII*, Dicker Max
Tier 7: SU-122-44

That's 7 for me, probably 8 before the day is out. I expect you PC types will have vast fleets of premium gear, let's hear it. Of all of them, they're all great fun apart from the T14, and the Matilda BP is fun but tactically redundant and barely competitive at it's own tier.

There have not been many opportunities to get free premiums on the 360 yet, some were given out as Beta gifts and Super Tester gifts if they played enough matches. The only other free one was the T1E6-X which was given out as a free gift for logging in on an event weekend.

I don't think I even qualify as a real wallet warrior, because I had about 2300 matches under my belt and some tier 8s when I bought my first premium, which was a tier 6, and my highest tier premium is a 7. Of all the premiums I own, the only ones which really feel strongly competitive at their tiers are the SU-122-44 and tier 7 and the FCM at tier 3. The Dicker Max can be good on the right map, in the right hands. Such is the curse for true wallet warriors that you can buy your way to tier 8, but the tanks are never as good as a full upgraded tank of their tier, with a few exceptions like the ones above.

[sleepezy]

I'm with jimmy - only got the free premiums, I'm too 'ard to use gold tanks

[jimmyjimjim]

In my case,I refuse to give those fkers any more money until they fix the mm and rng.

[Beati Dogu]

Here's mine:


Tier 3: FCM36Pak40, M22 Locust (American Light), LTP (Freebie Soviet light)

Tier 5: LeFuhurururr* (105 LeFH18B2 French Arty) T-25 (German Medium), Type 3 Chi Nu Kai (Japanese Medium)

Tier 6: Su-100Y (Boxtank!!)

Tier 7: Su-122-44

Tier 8: SuperPershing (freebie)

World of Rage.

[Jayfish]

Used to have more, sold all the freebies as I needed garage slots, also sold the FCM36PAK40 as it frustrated me no end, the amount of times the game happened the other end of the map was un-amusing, also sold my Excelsior as it was utter garbage and my Type 59 when it got nerfed.
All I have now is the TOGII, the KV220 and the Matilda IV.
The Lowe and the box tank are tempting.

[Derek Withers]

Don't buy a Lowe they are really boring to drive the T34 is also really slow but its a much better tank.

[Beati Dogu]

I sold my LTP last year for the garage slot, but got one back a few months ago as part of some special. It's a good little tank actually.

It's really, really bad at the moment. These phases come and go, but I think this is the worst I've known.

It's the perfect storm of a new patch, new tanks and endless X3 and other specials. Wargaming emails everyone now and it just brings them out from whatever rocks they live under. Team killers, team damagers, trolls - I've seen them all, just today alone.

[TX1]

Yes there are some arses at the moment, couple days back was platooning with bigpants and one of our teammates who was very keen always rushing ahead to get his kills and not really thinking took it out with arty, tried to shoot the arty but took shot too quick cos I knew this tt would be dead if I did not shoot in time, anyway I missed and this idiot started calling me noob etc.
Anyway big pants got stuck into him big time, great having platoon friend coming to the rescue.

[Mastodon2]

I was watching the Quickybaby tank preview vids, and I must admit, the thought of all those new light tanks, one of which has a derp gun, did just make me think "this could turn into moron city". I already find T71 drivers amongst the most annoying cretins who turn up in games, although that might just be because they make like Jagdtiger look stupid at times.

It's looking like I'll be buying that Pz.Kpfw S35 739 tonight, it's on a special for 850 gold, but it comes with a garage slot and 3 days premium. Garage slots are always welcome, and the 3 days premium will keep me going until the weekend and give me the xp-earning push I need to get the Jagtiger top gun. I've also quite enjoyed (and been irritated in equal measure by) the fast pace of lower tier games, so this little medium could be fun to play, and is a better investment of time than my T1E6-X, as I don't intend to play any American lines soon, so I could use the little German medium to train my Tiger II crew further, who are currently inactive, waiting on the Maus line.
