Try 'standard graphics' setting, if you're still having CTD, it seems to be more stable..

Am playing that way (standard), was ok at first now every other game is crashing.
Very frustrating, wish it happened in a weeks time as away for the week.

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.

A couple of times I've been hiding in a bush in one of my German sniper TDs, when another player on my team, with no situational awareness as they drive towards the tank I'm aiming at, probably viewing the target in zoom mode, hit me from behind and cause my aim to go off, meaning I have to re-aim and hope the targeted tank doesn't get away. You know you're well hidden when even your own team don't see you - though it does help if your team mates are a bunch of morons.

That would annoy me

My current pet hate, however, is the player who gets wasted (normally at the start) then proceeds to berate any failing player as a "noob" via text for the rest of the game.

I mean seriously, a) it is just a computer game and b) get a life you saddo I conservatively think WoT has the worst fans of any online game I have played, by a country mile.

I try not to berate other players but I felt I had to yesterday. In a match on Abbey in the Jackson I headed down the road on the east of the map with a JagdPanther and we had an IS3 behind us, we made our way to the rocks half way down the road where we came across a few heavies but by then the IS3 had turned round and hidden himself in a corner of the map back near the cap and proceeded to stay there for the rest of the match, our top tank fired zero shots...

Getting the most crashes when using arty around tier 6 games. Seems to be mostly just a couple of maps it happens on, so not too bad. Never had a crash in tier 8 above games. Overall do like the new version. Went for both style and distance when this little one decided to charge at me

Elegant. Disappointed to see the red target info still on the hull, and not the turret, though.

That's a trick for the auto loaders only

AT15 - is it worth spending 45k XP on the T9 gun, or just go straight to the Tortoise?

[dazee]

Get to the Death Star as quick as you can. It's a fun tank to play and shoot "gold". Annoys the heck out of people

OK. Just another 110,000xp to go....

Enjoying version 9 so far, my tiger looks much better now

One thing that is annoying me a bit is the "pop" noise when a tank dies. You can hear it from the other side of the map. It's like when someone dies in the Hunger Games lol

Anyone else having gameplay issues with 9.0?

For some reason it feels like shell velocity has changed, I'm suddenly finding it much harder to lead my shots correctly.

I've been lucky with no CTD yet, and frame rate has only dropped to 70fps, but the gameplay is really annoying.

(That and I can't seem to get a win for love nor money all of a sudden, even when I have a very strong game.)

Had a period of CTD's and black screen after battle, which seem to be the common complaints, on Thursday. Turned out, for me, that it was installing the Test-2 version of XVM that caused the problems. Reverting back to the 'last nightly' build put it all right again.

Luckily no FPS drops (in fact it seems slightly better). I have noticed though of late that more shots seem to be disappearing, or at least I can't seem to work out what is happening to them - particularly on the Centurion Mk7. It's shots where I am shooting at static targets, and the tracer / shell appears to fly straight at them but I see no puff of dirt or impact and get no crew feedback re dinging etc. It's like they just vanish, or that I never fired (albeit my reload timer is counting down). Not often, but a few times per session. Can't say if it happened before 9.0 or not for sure, but I suspect it did.

Haven't noticed a drop in shell travel times, but maybe there is some lag going on. I did find out only last week that APCR shells typically fly much faster than regular AP and so require less lead - which explains why I found my E-50M less accurate than the E-50 at hitting moving targets as the 50M is APCR by default.

This sometimes happens to me. I assume I've hit something that wasn't close enough to see but within range of gun.

[RizzoTheRat]

I'm getting rapidly sick of the Hetzer. Its a bh to aim as the slightest touch on the steering spins it way too far, and I just got in to a slugging match with a Matilda, bounced 3 shots despite hitting him side on with the 10.5, while he chewed straight through my paper mache front armor!

[RobDickinson]

Hetzer has great front armour for most but has 2 weak points, a Matilda can easily aim for them.

So far my experience if td is you don't go up 1 on 1 with a big tank.

So far I would rather be in my kv1 than su-85 , more options and less vunerable and more damage. The su-85 not yet fully specd up.

[TX1]

Have a Hetzer in my garage with scope to go down the german line however cannot stand the way it over or under rotates just like you.
Hetzer is not match for Matilda head on.
Matilda is vulnerable when caught on its side were I have been one shot a couple of times by a Hetzer.

[TankRizzo]

You guys blown a turret off yet? Pretty funny when it happens, this was mine yesterday..
