World of Tanks

[DGuller]

I kinda' stopped worrying about credits now that I am in tiers 5 and above. I'll be switching to the KV-3 tonight and it wasn't hard at all to get the million creds with the KV and the Jagdpanzer while I was getting the necessary XP.

You'll start worrying again soon enough.

[Berkut]

Uggh, I am having a terrible run on my E-50. Seems like I am getting blown away in the first 90 seconds of every match.

[Berkut]

The 88L100 gun just looks a bit ridiculous.

[Kleves]

So what are HEAT shells for (besides chewing up wimpy tanks)? For taking out tracks, ammo racks, etc.?

Are you talking about HE shells?  There is a huge difference between HEAT and HE.

[Kleves]

I must be thinking HE, then.

[Berkut]

DG, did you ever get over your fear of voice chat?

[DGuller]

HE has a couple of uses.  First, if you can penetrate a tank with a good HE shell, that tank is most likely history.  The high explosive round will explode inside the tank, and deal all kinds of damage and criticals.  HE also doesn't lose penetration with distance, unlike AP.  Finally, HE can damage tanks of a higher tier, when AP round would most likely just bounce off.

No. 

[Ed Anger]

Sound like Boris from Rocky and Bullwinkle?

[DGuller]

Probably, but it's more like phone conversations and everything resembling such is an extreme discomfort zone for me.  I can't think and talk on the phone at the same time.

[Habbaku]

You'd make a horrible tanker.

[C.C.R.]

I grow really, really weary of getting a track blown off by the first shot of the game...

[Berkut]

Me and Habs have been playing in a platoon with voice chat. The difference is incredible, IMO. It is so much more fun trying to coordinate.

Platoons without voice chat is like kissing your sister.

Or to put it in terms DG would understand, like handling someone balls who is NOT the President...

[C.C.R.]

I think that my loader is fucking retarded & thinks that the "DING!" of shells bouncing off of my armor means that the fries are done or some fucking thing & he sticks his head out, because the guy seems to get hit or die every other game...
