Just bought the Pz Sfl. V, it's going to be a long slog to the Borsig frown

Oh it is, it is.

Horrible TD.

0-13 last night, lost about 30,000 credits

the ISU-152 grind is hard for the BL10

not enough firepower in tier 10/9 games

and in tier 8 the enemy assume you have the BL10 and nail you as fast as possible
I used the 152mm derp gun and HEAT shells, same as I did on the SU-152. Both TDs are too slow & unmanoeuvrable to get the best out of the other options.

Just had my first on 9.0.

Playing as arty, swapping between overhead and regular modes.

Came back in to find myself being charged by an enemy T-43, intent on ramming. So I snapshot him at a range so short the blast killed me too.
Do you think they've nerfed Arty again ? I'd just started playing my Gw Type E again recently since they de-nerfed it....today it seemed to me that it's been nerfed again.

I hope so. Haven't heard that they have though.

It's been nerfed too far. It would have been a lot better if they'd limited the numbers per game, kept it to tier 8 maximum, with the top tanks in a game 2 tiers above the arty.

Well 9.0 has really affected my frame rate, I'm getting lag spikes that drop the FPS into single figures making the game virtually unplayable. Might have to upgrade the work/gaming laptop earlier than anticipated...

Still getting the occasional CTD. Bloody annoying because it is always in a game when I am doing really well!
Had my first proper one where it would crash every time you tried to reload. From some googling, looks like it's tied to the new HD models; I was clicking through the different viewpoints after I'd died when I selected the M4; crashed at that point.

Morel of the story - quit out when you die.

Yes I do tend to stay in game and watch. Note to self: When dead, bugger off!

Seems game is crashing more today, out of 7 games 4 crashes this morning and not worth playing at the moment.
At one time we had 9 tanks vs 5 and when game had finished found out we had lost, must happen to multiple playes at the same time.

No CTD's last 2 days approx 150 games.

Stug now seems unable to penetrate.

Seem to be earning far more credits than previously.

Some missions for 'gold' tanks would be nice.

Yes I was thinking this about the Stug too.....definitely feels like they've nerfed the long barrelled 75. It was my fav for a long time but I can't seem to kill a thing with it nowadays. On the upside, I got my bad boy 88 on the JagdPanther and that really kicks ass biggrin

It seems to be happening to quite a few people. Check this game out for one such epic fail:

Wait until you get the 105 on the JagdPanther, it's amazing. Slower reload, but doesn't feel much less accurate, good penetration and good alpha. Ammo is expensive and you can only carry 20 or so main rounds into battle, but if you make those shots count you can single handedly swing games. Since upgrading to the 105, adding binoculars and camo netting I went from middling the table and struggling with a 35% win rate in the JagdPanther to 49% and consistently placing in the top 3 spots on the team, coming first a lot of the time.

Let's talk about things that annoy us in WOT. I'll start; You've got a killer shot lined up, you've spotted a tank and he appears oblivious to your presence, you're aiming at him perfectly perpendicular, your penetrating indicator says that chances are, this shot is going through, you know it's going to be a one-shot, or at the very least 70% of their HP gone and a module or two. Just as your targeting reticule tightens and you prepare to squeeze the trigger, some noob further behind you fires wildly at your target tank, missing and hitting the building next to them, causing an explosion that scares the target immediately into hiding, leaving you sitting there with nothing in your sights, and a wasted opportunity. Cheers noob!

Just upgraded the su85b to the t5 su-85.

So far upgraded the tracks only, when under pressure you need that extra manoeuvrability!

Only have the base gun so far, looks like (ignoring the 15k one) there is a derp with low pen and a good higher pen mid damage gun. Will have to try either,

I LOVE the derp on the KV-1, didnt like the other gun even though it can output more dps and pen you are exposed a lot more. And TD have more troubles here I think.

Going to be interesting comparing a specd SU-85 against a specd KV-1

The SU-85 and SU-100 are great TDs with really good top guns, nice and stealthy too. The SU-100 is one of my keepers I like it that much.

People use it with the 15k xp gun then? which other to go for before it, the derp? That looks like it may work with HE

I've been playing the WT auf Pz.IV a lot recently, a tank which is especially based around stealth and not getting spotted. So what has been really annoying me recently are the fupid stuckers heavy tanks that keep parking directly behind me and spamming shots into nowhere, getting spotted and then I take their incoming fire or - thanks mr E75 tonight - they manage to shoot me at point blank range because they didnt bother to aim. Thats been getting my goat recently. soapbox

Almost there for the 105, but I heard it kills your credits whereas the bad boy 88 is pretty economical to run? Had an awesome run in the JagdPanther tonight, I'd say I'm a similar win rate to you pre-105, ie around 40% which is pretty bloody frustrating wink Well I don't know whether it was luck or an improvement in my skills but I could not lose tonight and averaged 3 kills per game, which is absolutely unheard of for me....awesome! Even rammed and destroyed a Tiger II after pumping in seven rounds, that was previously trying to stalk me, I destroyed his turret with my second shot and then he couldn't run away either hehe
