[Jaron]

You know what annoys me....


when dipshits run into my tank, yet at end of battle i'm deducted credits because my tank isn't a little PoS that damages easily.

eeeps.

Speaking of patch 7.4, this picture is for all those who thought the KWK 45 L/100 looked ridiculous:





Overcompensating much, monsieur?

[DGuller]

   Is such a gun even physically possible?  Shouldn't these thin and long guns at some point bend under their own weight, which I imagine is not a good thing?  Never mind that you're going to dig that thing into the ground all the time.

[Shade]

No silly they make them out of Naqahdah so it is all good. 

[katmai]

Anybody have play time in the Slugger and or Hellcat?

Wondering which one to pick first.

[DGuller]

Slugger is OK, especially once you get a 90 mm gun, but nothing special.  Haven't played Hellcat.

[DGuller]

Just had a pretty brutal battle.  The bad news is that I didn't get to kill any enemy.  The good news is that I did better than any of my teammates.

Grats?


It's funny to look at my overall stats and see how shitty a shot i was back on tanks before i came back to playing game. I'm lucky to be over 50% hit percentage in those tanks, while all the newer tanks close to 70%.

Tier 10 Mediums and TDs announced
Today 07:00 General News Comments

Currently Tier 9 is the peak of a vehicle's class development for medium tanks and tank destroyers in World of Tanks. Quite often players ask game developers whether they are going to introduce Tier 10 for these two classes of vehicles. It is about time to give the exact and precise answer to that question - Tier 10 Meds and TDs will most definitely be introduced!

At the moment new vehicles undergo a balancing process; therefore, it's too early to speculate about final specifications of these long-awaited armored vehicles. However, it's known that all Tier 10 Meds and TDs will retain the specific tech tree features which are particular for the nation they belong to.

[DGuller]

I would be curious to see what guns Tier 10 TDs get.  I bet they would be at least quarter mile in length.

[katmai]

I didn't post the 2ndpart as a ton of pics, but...

Object 268" together with its 152 mm M64 gun will become a Tier 10 tank destroyer.   


The German tank tech tree will be enlarged by the tank destroyer JagdPz E-100 with 17 cm PaK 45 gun on board.


The American nation will be reinforced by two new Tier 10 anti-tank vehicles. Players who have T95 will be able to open T110E3 tank destroyer. This vehicle will have a non-rotating turret and a 155 mm AT gun T7.

The branch of the US tech tree with turret-rotating tank destroyers which are currently headed by T30, will be amplified with T110E4. The particular feature of that TD will be a partially rotating turret (rotation angle – 180 degrees). The 155 mm AT Gun T7 will be its top weapon


Cassette loader – It's the key feature of the French vehicles. Tier 10 TD AMX 50 Foch will have it as well. The gun SA 58 AC will have 3 shells in the drum.

We would again like to remind you that the above mentioned information is not final. The vehicle specifications listed above can be subject to change prior to their official in-game release.

The charge of the KV derp guns was what turned it from simply amusing to brilliant.
