Speed mostly. I'd describe the Jackson as like driving a Hellcat with a dead driver.
Exactly that ^. If you've already played the Kitty then you won't like the Jackson. The Kitty needs playing in a certain way to get the best from it. It doesn't have the armour to peek-a-boo or side scrape round rocks to face off with another tank as you'll be obliterated after 2 shots which will both easily go in the front glaces or sides. What you need to do is find yourself a position in a dip or just behind a shallow crest where you can get hull down and only poke your turret over the crest and use your good gun depression to land shots on the enemy. From that position they need to have an accurate gun to even hit the top of your turret which is the only bit visible to them and if they do manage to hit you then you've a very good chance of bouncing it.

It's interesting how they're rolling it out in stages for the Xbox. You'd think they'd pretty much port it over in one go.
Ensk has been around on the PC version as long as I've played it (about 2 years). I think it's a good map and it has something for every class of vehicle. It's fairly often in the map rotation for tiers 2-10.
Komarin was removed before I started playing & was only recently reintroduced after some changes.
Unfortunately, it was absolutely bloody terrible. Games were usually just one long camp fest because if you got spotted you'd be obliterated by all the TDs and arty safely hiding in the forests. They reworked it again for patch 9.1 a couple of months ago and made it tier 8 and below only. I've only played it a few times since, but it looks to be better now.
I think they were just keen to get it released so people could start playing it - they probably felt pressure to make sure they could hook in a 360 audience before too many people migrate to the XB1. They've said they'd consider proper XB1 version, complete with top graphics etc, but only once there is a big enough player base on the XB1 to make it worth their while. As such, the game was released on the 360 with 4 or 5 maps, and they've been adding more in random drips ever since.Ensk has been around on the PC version as long as I've played it (about 2 years).

Appreciated! Set up cost was 1000, further 500 for logo change, I'm happy to fund that bit unless someone feels the need.
In-game nick is jayfish007
The logo will have to wait until Tuesday when I'm at work as I need to Photoshop a PH logo onto a transparent background in various sizes; anyone have a preference for a straight or angled logo?

Angled sounds cool, hopefully the enemy will spend longer looking at it ergo more time to insert something into them
Edit - the clan appears to be set up not to accept applications, guessing there's an option somewhere.

Can I join too please. molevision in game as well.
Just re-bought AMX 50-100 as a mate was having so much fun in it.... 4 games, 3 wins average 2500 damage & 900 exp I think.... amazing. T69 has been replaced.
a platoon of two of those seems fairly devastating
Bit of a glass cannon though. First thing I always have to remember is: it's quick, but it takes 45 secs to load the first shells, so it's easy to find yourself in contact with nothing more than Red Bull to throw at the enemy (same problem with AMX 13 90 - shorter load time, but even faster Just re-bought AMX 50-100 as a mate was having so much fun in it.... 4 games, 3 wins average 2500 damage & 900 exp I think.... amazing.

). Next up - if someone in a similar tier HT tries to go one-on-one with you, they'll lose as you empty the mag into them. If there's 2 of them, run away, you just take damage too fast. The 100mm is usually a bit of a laser gun - hitting thin commander's turrets across half the map. I've got enhanced gun laying drive on it, too, that way it shrinks the reticule just about as fast as it reloads
