I've seen togs taken into games specifically to block routes. park them sideways and even when they die nothing can get past.

I caught a TOG lumbering towards the objective on Lakesville undefended last night, I scored 1100 damage on it with no retort in my VK36.01.

Crews were implemented in yesterday's update for the 360, as well as some graphical and HUD changes. They introduced the Himmelsdorf map too, but I have not played it yet.

I had one do exactly this defending on Erlenberg, typical leaming train all heads to the right side of the map leaving only me on the left, I retreated over the bridge and a TOG II promptly blocks the final bridge before the cap allowing me and a few other tanks to defend the right side. I'm not sure the TOG II even bothered to fire a shot but it won the game for us.
The idiot leamings didn't understand the thanks heaped upon the TOG driver rolleyes

When did they start doing country specific random battles? I had a Russian/German and Russian/French game last night, the former was amusing, all but one of our team in IS's and the other team all in Tiger 1 or Tiger (P)

They're being taken out in the next update, due this week I think, and are being replaced by Historical battles.

LOL Alan, thats amazing. It had a crew of 27 eek, imagine having to train that lot up - 540,000 credits just to have them come in at 75%. Even if they had ever gone into production the Kaiser would never have been able to crew them...


Took advantage of the new top of the tree special - its the new german TD line this time round. Got into the tier 9 Wt auf Pz.IV and used some of the free xp and gold from the weekend events to open up the top gun. My god. If you have played the Borsig and think that is overpowered, just wait until you try this. It's laughably strong, all the Borsig weaknesses are fixed (its faster, the gun is mounted at one end rather than the middle, its more accurate and higher pen) without seemingly losing camo rating. It does need 2 more crew, but otherwise no downsides. Just an absoloute beast, just got to keep out of sight.

Demolished a T57 heavy from full health to dead in 4 hits, tracked him with the first 2 and then he was gone, in under 30 seconds. Never spotted at around 300M (although I was double bushed). People say the tier 10 is overpowered, and it probably is, but at least that gets seen when it shoots usually and has that long reload to contend with.

I am currently on that same grind. I have about 60k on the Borsig and I should be able to get the Tier 9 before the event ends. If the Tier 9 is even more OP than the Borsig, then I can't wait. shoot

Well, for me the main output of the update is, that at recommended settings (highest) my gaming PC struggles to maintain focus on turret rotation or any meaningful event. Adjusting levels to next setting down seems ok, but darker.

I haven't yet managed to win a battle in my first 8 games, apart from one historical one where my stock Hellcat was part of a force outnumbering Germans by 2:1

I'm sure I'll get used to it.

New graphics now mean that my everything seems in low res for me and my poor laptop. I've managed to get a balance resulting on 30fps which seems ok. I guess that WG will be updating all the models over time as teh new ones (e.g. hellcat, cent7/1) make the old ones look awful (e75 etc).

Having trouble winning games tonight as well... but was doing ok in my FV215b.

D'Oh

Not sure what my graphics settings were before as it resets them but I've turned everything down to the second lowest setting to get it up to 30ish fps as I had before, so any new graphics are a bit wasted on me.
