That's a pretty good event, the TOG is ace fun to play and a very effective way of making quick, easy money. Or maybe that should be slow, easy money?

I've also just had a belter of a game, well it was less of a game and more of a quick skirmish, as the MM has occasional hiccups at high tiers and sets up 8 vs 8 matchups, usually with unbalanced teams. I ended up on the southern border of Live Oaks with rain enabled (my favourite map), going head to head with a T32 and an E-100. I hit the E-100 through his lower front place, causing him to back off and hide. Next, I munched through the T32, bouncing several shots off my superstructure. The E-100, on about 2250hp after my shot, tried to sneak past me to attack my team. The agile Jagdpanther II was able to turn around and get behind him for a clean shot at the big round weakspot on the rear of the turret at about 10m range, instantly ammoracking him for the kill. That shot wiped out his remaining 2000+hp and took him out of the game, letting my team steam into the enemy base to kill the last remaining red and win the game.

Not the first E-100 I've killed, but the sweetest yet.

Just had a excellent wolf pack game on Ruinberg. Nothing amazing happened, other than the very rare WOT occurence of a group of players all bonding and seeming to be able to play together as a team very well... Glad I wasn't on the opposite side though smash.

Its as good as example as i have seen in a long while, and a good demonstration of why Mediums rule at tier 10 when played well together.

Agreed - I had a couple of good Medium fights last night as well.

Question - Further on from the T-54, what's the better T10, The T-62A or the Object 140?

They seem extremely similar but with the Obj having much better gun depression.

I did a search on this (as it's a question I need to answer soonish), general feeling was the 62A, but you won't go too far wrong with either.

Thanks Derek - I'll have a watch of that when I have a moment.

After I ditched the 183, I got the E100, dam thats a fine tank, eats shots for breakfast, hits hard and holds a corner better than anything else.

Patch 9.3 looms large. Can anyone think of any advantages to buying a pre-nerf KV1S beforehand, given that I'm unlikely to play it post nerf? I'm thinking extra crews or garage slots etc. The only Russian Heavy i'm likely to play in the future is the KV2, which I have researched and for which I have my old KV1S crew still in the barracks.

You won't get a free garage slot. If you already have the KV-1S, all they'll do is replace it with the KV-85.

Your KV-1S' stats and crew will be transferred to the new KV-85 (except the radio man, as it doesn't have one).

Any equipment will be sent to the depot, so you'd need to re-add them afterwards.



Be aware that the KV-2 has two loaders, unlike the KV-1S.

I'm not surprised, the shells alone weighed around 40 Kilos. Then they had to add the propellant charge.

The artillery version of the gun had a 10 man crew to feed it.

The new 1.5 update is out today, with the joys of free xp people have already spotted tier 8 Brit SPGs, which is a lot of free xp saved up, even to jump in from the Matilda and skip the first few tiers. Leopard 1s are already in play too, which is perhaps even more impressive given the line before today only went as far as the AwfulPanther, meaning some people have free xp'd through a tier 8 and 9 tank and landed in the 10. I can't wait to start mixing it up with those Leopards, I'm glad to see the Bundeswehr machines in the game. The Indien Panzer looks cool too, like a sort of micro-Löwe. I'm happy now that if I do ever want to play the Leopard, I don't need to play the AwfulPanther to get there, which I thought was going to be a necessity.

That said, I had been planning to go up the British SPG line, but I've decided to hold off. I'll be waiting on the Maus line instead, and eventually grinding for that. There are some French premiums coming soon though, which might get my opening the wallet.
