World of Tanks

[C.C.R.]

Another quick question for you guys.
How big is your depot?
Curious to see how many tanks people hold on to.

Six in my depot:

Jagdpanther (elited, favorite to play, will keep until have creds for a Ferd)
Panther (wip)
Grille (wip)
T82 (wip)
SU-76 (elited, use it for cred farming/noob harvesting, will upgrade when crew is 100%)
VK3601H (kinda just bumping up crew skills until crew is 100% and/or have creds for a Tiger)

Also note that I don't have a Premium account & don't play all THAT often, so my skill level/progression rate aren't going to be all that high...

[C.C.R.]

I'm actually pretty excited about this sale, since I was going to buy a Tiger this week anyways:

I am annoyed.

I am ready to sell my T29 and move onto the T32, but now I have to wait because the T29 will only sell for 1/2 price! Grrh.

Hopefully they will drop 7.3 in the next couple days though...

I'm nowhere near ready to buy any of those tanks, fuck you very much.


But glad that i got the KV researched just in nick of time.

[DGuller]

So, did you get the bobblehead for your KV?

Do you mean the turret, i did so i'll be getting the KV-2 at 100% crew trained.

[C.C.R.]

OK, I chose wisely - one game so far in my new Tiger (stock except for what I could transfer from the VK3601 & added a shell rammer) & I got a Hat Trick.  I should just retire it now...

[frunk]

I hope those without premium cashed in their bonus code already.  If you did it before midnight PDT you got another free day of premium.

The Global Map for Clan wars will be unavailable for twenty-four hours starting on May 8, 2012 at 00:15 PDT (07:15 UTC) until 00:15 PDT (07:15 UTC) on May 9th.

All users with premium accounts active at the start of maintenance will receive a one-day compensation added to their premium account starting May 7, 2012 at 21:00 PDT (May 8th 04:00 UTC).

[katmai]

Trying to figure out these new maps. And the free KV-2 is first fully trained crew so trying to wrap my head around best skills for the crew.

[Shade]

I bought a t-34 now I know why so many people buy prem tanks... you guys seen the french arty yet? Short range but hits a hell of a punch!

[C.C.R.]

Yay!!! Finally got my Ace Tanker Mastery Badge on my SU-76 with an awesome Top Gun on Komarin -- sat in the depression in the southeast corner & jacked out six noobs as they came at me one at a time (helps that I staked a friendly arty out like a piece of meat to lure them in & draw their fire away from me ).  I hit Ace Tanker a LOT quicker in my T82 (once I ditched that turkey turd of a 76 & put a 57 on there), but I suspect that has more to do with people grinding through the T82 A.S.A.F.P. to get the T40 then it does any real skill on my part...

[frunk]

Ohh, the 105 is the fun gun on the T82.  You can one shot almost every single tank (barring heavies) you meet.

I recall one battle where I ambushed five tanks one by one, and dispatched them all with one shot, on the way to my team's 15-0 victory.
