World of Tanks

[Berkut]

Huh, I've done 5 a few times, but don't think I have ever managed 6.

[Slargos]

Well. They wouldn't be handing out medals if it was easy.

One tank where derp gun doesn't work well at all is the KV.  With the 2.7 round per minute firing rate, you're going to be so preoccupied with looking for cover while waiting to reload, that you won't pay any attention to fighting.

Another 5-hitter with the Panzer derp.  That gun really unlocked the tank for me.  Three of those kills came at an extreme range (500-600 meters).

[DGuller]

7!!   Derp, derp, derp.

[Slargos]

Nice.

I guess I need to give it more time to adjust.

Switching between too many different tactics messes me up though. I ran a few games with the t35/38s and suddenly the Tiger which previously felt relatively nimble felt like I was driving a sloth through a bog.

Update rolling out today. Apparently the site couldn't handle the pressure. 

[Slargos]

Ah fuck. New voice acting =

Just tried the American TD line.

Was the American Armoured Corps really that racially integrated? 

Edit: Just got into a fight where 12 out of 15 were US Tier 1 TD. I think I'm going to hold on playing this one for a while until people calm down.

What the fuck is up with the new voices?  What was wrong with the old ones, without the Russian accent?

Two notes:

PzIV with derp gun: I am turning around. Yes, it can actually do some damage, especially so in street fights.

JagdPanther with 10.5: I thought I wouldn't like the lower rate of fire, figuring that a higher ROF would more than make up for the lower damage, but by golly, I have definitely changed my mind.

There were a few tank destroyer battalions in the US army that were African American.

Hilarious victory on Himmelsdorf in my 35t. 

Roll up the lane to the east of the park coming from the south, together with one allied tank. We encounter a lone Leichttraktor which retreats after taking about 70% damage. To the north of the park is the enemy line heavily engaged with our left flank. I realize they have no cover in the east and just roll up, park just around the corner and start enfilading their mediums. 2 of their Meds are knocked out before they even realize what's happening, and as they start turning around to face the new threat they are suddenly under fire from three sides and start popping like corn. 

2 meds and 2 lights is certainly not my best score in a tier 1/2 but it is probably the fastest I have ever achieved it.

[Slargos]

Ah, the joy of a successful flanking attack.

Watching the enemy scatter infront of you as they struggle to cope with this new direction of attack, but giving them no chance to coordinate their defense.

Picking them off one by one while shells are bouncing off the turret.

Move. Stop. Aim. Fire. Repeat.

Realizing that, for once, your teammates are charging up behind you and abusing your bullet magnetism to their full advantage, instead of hiding behind the last bend waiting for you to die before they will parade up like mooks and get whacked one at a time.

The Tiger, unusually for this commie infested game, doing its god given mission to spearhead the breakthrough.

Glorious.
