Yeah sadly they stopped selling it last weekend. Quickybaby did a special TOG party on his stream, to try and get as many tog's together in a battle as possible...

I was actually a bit disappointed by that TOG video, I'd have liked to see a pitched battle across the map, rather than everyone just charging the valley of death, but I suppose QB was going for a certain effect there.

I kind of fancy getting a Hummel again, so I can go through the GwPanther and pickup a GwTiger for a laugh. Nothing can match the CGC / Lef105 combo for fun, but I love a big artillery piece.

Oh man I'm feeling some jealousy, that Cromwell Berlin looks amazing. It will be a long time before the trio of premiums appear on the Xbox, and we've got some fking rot to get through yet, like the Panther 88 to be added at some indeterminate date.

Training rooms are being / have been added to the Xbox version, finally. I'm looking forward to getting out on the maps and looking for some new routes and spots that I don't normally use.

My joy at coming back to WOT, hopefully this coming Wednesday, has been tempered by the realisation that I need to put another 130,000xp on my IS-8 to finally get the IS-7 that I've wanted for so long, and in doing so will dip below my 5 million silver safety buffer. I suppose I'll just have to play the IS-7 a lot, and run my premiums to replenish my enormous silver pile.

JPE-100 is a notorious troll cannon. Just when you think you've got the perfect shot lined up, it RNGs off into the sky, or bounces when you're sure it should have triple overmatched.

I think I should be able to play WOT again tomorrow night with a stable connection, woo hoo, it's been a while.

Found a decent offer you guys (on PC version anyway) might be interested in.

Fast2play.com is offering bonus codes for about £15. What you get is a JagdTiger 88 Premium tier 8 TD + Garage slot, 1250 gold and 7 days premium.

That works out better than half price. If you already have the JT you get the gold equivalent which is 10k gold. It is limited to 4 codes per WoT account.

This offer is legit as I got it and it worked fine. You will have to register for a Fast2play account but that's easy and you can pay with paypal if you wish.

Darned good offer.

http://www.fast2play.com/catalogsearch/result/inde...

Edit: oh meant to say, there are also invite codes for sale too for new accounts for those interested. The JT offer is for existing accounts.

If anyone wants or knows anyone interested in an invite code, let me know. I have several that are no good to me.

I have just started down the new French line and I think the Somua is going to be a 100% free XP jobby. Every game I have played (be it platoon or solo) has been as a bottom tier tank. It’s not fast or manoeuvrable enough to be a scout and the top gun is a woefully inadequate 47mm that does 54 damage when it penetrates, great when you are facing down tier 5 opponents with 500+hp.

It seems to get inverse premium match making; I'm not asking to be top tier all the time with this thing but to be top tier once or twice and a good proportion of mid-tier battles would be nice.

The tard play seems to be getting worse though, its getting to the point where I am playing very little these days.

It's not that bad, but you certainly don't want to grind out 7100xp worth of radio at that tier. OR the next.

Which leads to the slight comedy of eliting three vehicles at once, when you do finally research it:

My internet is finally up to modern standards again! Goodbye Post Office broadband and good fking riddance, hello Sky! I did a speed test earlier and was getting 4mb/s and ping at 40ms, which is good enough for me, considering on PO I was at 800kb/s (wtf...) and ping at 180ms!

There isn't a smiley on PH that accurately captures how I feel. I know there will be rage to come, as there always is with WOT, but after nearly a month of not being able to play it due to getting disconnected in nearly every game, it's bloody mint to be back. Even the IS-8 felt like a wrecking ball tonight.

I'm looking forward to finishing the IS-8 grind and finally getting the IS-7 that I've wanted forever, and then I'll be going back to tier 2 to start a Russian medium grind. I don't know which way I'll be going with that, whether I go for the rear turret line, or the traditional line with a choice of two tier 10s at the end. I suspect I may go rear turret for novelty / frustration value.

Well you'll certainly get plenty of frustration with the rear turret line. The tier 6 & 7 are just terribad.

I've played them in supertest, they are like a wildcard crit roll gameplay type, they can be awesome or just absolutely terrible, but generally more bad than good. I hope the higher tiers are at least worth it, or the tier 10 will be good. It might all change, I could end up on the traditional Russian line, as I hear the T-54 is ace, I could happily grind out 412,000xp in that and get two tier 10s out of it, but that is a long way off yet.

Rage is part of WOT, it helps me vent my anger. Anyone who has played WOT with me will attest that once the shells start bouncing, profanities start flying.

Well that didn't take long, the realisation of quite how much I despise the IS-8 has come flooding back. A troll move from WG, putting a good gun on a useless stheap of a chassis. I can't wait to get the IS-7 in 125,000xp, but when I do get it I'll probably be sick of heavy tanks for a while. Oh how I miss the IS-3, and that dominant brawler / bully gameplay style.

Does anyone here have an IS-7? Please regale me of stories of how good they are, so that I may feel compelled to continue this awful grind.

I hated the IS-8. Its not a gun problem. It feels like a medium with none of the tactical abilities of one.

I dumped it went back, now have a KV-3
