World of Tanks

[Berkut]

Why would dying cause me to twiddle my thumbs?

[DGuller]

I now partially grinded my way through M3 Lee, and got myself a T1, the first American heavy tank. 

I love it.  It's like a Sherman, only greatly improved.  It takes the Sherman's gun, but fixes its low profile, inadequate size, and uncontrollable speed.  It can give quite a headache to the enemy, and a ringing in the ears to boot if you're lucky and manage to bounce one shot off them.

[Slargos]

you're going to need two vehicles anyway since you're going to die a lot and having another vehicle means you can play rather than twiddle your thumbs. 

How does that work? Two computers?

No. You can exit the battle and start a new one but your vehicle will be tied up until the battle is over so unless you have two vehicles you need to wait.

Can I TK?

You can leave the battle if you're killed, I hope you knew that.   You can't use the same tank until the battle is over for everyone, though.

[Slargos]

Can I TK?

Indubitably.

[DGuller]

Can I TK?

For a while.  There is a TKer identification system, and if you get marked as a TKer, everyone else on your team can, and will, shoot you with no retribution.  You, on the other hand, will eventually get banned.

Just took out 2 StugIIIs with my Hetzer, both blasting away at me.

How are you progressing so quickly?

He sells stoves with built-in laptops

"so you see, while your meatballs get ready, you can blast away tanks on the internets. Observe."

Somebody is jealous that their wagon has no internets.

My wagon....it only holds the beets.

I may have invested in some gold.. 

MAN the Hetzer is slow. 13KM/h downhill.

I didn't break down and get a premium account until I hit tier 3, so I guess maybe why your progress seems so fast to me.  Anyway, there is nothing embarassing about buying gold, it takes way too much time to level up on a freebie account.

MS-1 starting tank for Russia sucks ass, as it historically did. This game is more realistic than I thought.
