World of Tanks

[Tamas]

But I want to enjoy the game in my Jagdtiger! 

[Iormlund]

Meh. Right now I'd settle for a T-34.

By the way isn't 5 shots fired rather low for a heavy? You should be in the thick of it for most of the round.

With a 30 second reload, 5 is a shitstorm of bullets.

[Iormlund]

... 30 second reload ...

Jesus, is that thing muzzle loaded?

That was an initial problem with the tanks, but it was something the NKVD said was absolutely necessary to keep the crews in line.  Fortunately, the second series eventually had the barrel turned towards the enemy.

Who is TheStretcher? ANyone from Languish?

[Alcibiades]

Bored, guess ill try playing this again.


Looked like my beta account was deleted, any recourse on that?  Am i missing any XP's or creds? 

Or everyone start over with a clean slate?

[Shade]

Had to start all over though I think if you do something special you get something for being a beta... I forget haha

You definitely do not keep your beta progress.

[Alcibiades]

Well I remembered that, which is why I quit playing when the beta ended.  Couldn't fathom grinding back to a Jagdtiger,  King Tiger, and a T32.

I have learned that with the 152mm, you need to go close quarters, with support. Preferably on streets, but lotsa' hard cover at least, and you need to have friendlies around to occupy the enemy while your crew cast your new shell and wait while it cools down and forms or whatever.
It is NOT accurate so you need to shoot from close.

But boy oh boy: a 100% KV shot in the back from point blank because he did not see me on the streets - insta kill. An other time, I was racing (with my mighty 25km/h) down a street to circle a block, a Marder II firing potshots at me from the front (way too far to shoot back with my special gun, didn't hurt me much anyway), when somebody spotted a PzIV racing toward me from the next street left (where I was heading). So I stopped near the corner, waited a bit, the Panzer charged out and BOOM got my 152mm HE to it's side, ending his game.
GLORIOUS

[Tamas]

I will actually soon unlock the 107mm for the KV, but I am having  a hard time convincing myself to switch, this Trollcannon is just too awesome

[Slargos]

I had fun playing with the howitzer, but it wasn't really as effective.

[DGuller]

Howitzer is fun if the situation is just right, but how often is the situation just right for it?  The 107mm gun will be combat-effective much more consistently.

But can I damage higher tiered tanks with a reasonable chance? Because I ding like 20% off them with the Trollcannon
