I just want to share some misery today, all kids at home, playing CS instead of WOT, and this is what happens... 8222 dmg and 5 kills (most by my self) and lost. HOW BAD THE REST OF PLAYERS IN MY TEAM IS????

When your team is bad there is nothing you can do. Some time ago: 9000+ damage and 10 kills with my Jagdtiger and we still loose. But i don't care, the enemy team was freaking out because i was knocking them out one by one, and i still survived. Every match i give the best and that's what matter to me. Stats are meaningless with teams like this. The other day there was a noob in a T34 premium shooting team mates, after some investigation he owned 5 high tier premium tanks and 3 low tier tanks. Premium tanks should be allowed to buy if you have a similar (or had) tier tank, if not any noob can buy one and start ruining other people matches.

Sometimes (like yesterday), you just don't get good team... All brainless noobs... Im ok with 5 in roll, but 10 and even 15 sesions, now that is nerve-braking, especially with high tier tanks (-20k, even -30 if you use gold ammo)...

This just happened.



2 deaths on the enemy team, and 1 of them was suicide...

I miss pre patch arty numbers, my favoured playstyle is less reliable now

Sit back, wait for a hole in their line, charge through with superior speed and go straight for their arty and TD. Usually will end up with a reasonable suicide scout or getting one or two of their second line.

We just did 14-1 in Clan Wars earlier...our lone casualty was a JagdPzE-100

And was killed by a GwTiger (Tier 7 German SPG)

Got to love lighties bitching about useless arty.

I was the arty in this episode.

Worked my way to more PzIV and Hetzer games, I am starting to grow to PzIV (maybe because I am more comfortable with sitting back and snipe with the 7.5 as opposed to the 10.5derp). Still pretty bad with it, but at least I am pulling my weight now rather than being the 2nd to die after suicide scout every other game. As for Hetzer ... I still find it pretty unplayable if I try anything other than camp-sniping. Suffering through it just to get the StuGIII.

Leopard is not as fun as 38NA, it loses too much speed when turning. You can't make as much mistakes, although when you are matched against lesser tanks it is almost godly.

New year plans is to get Porsche Tiger, unlock VK2801, unlock and maybe play Grille.

Which branch should I start next? I am looking at something "fun" and not serious, eg. T50, UE57, ELC AMX etc. Zipping around enemies at reasonably good speed, matchmaking will set me at bottom half most of the time (eg 38NA) where I am not pressured to get medals, and most importantly, teching towards that tank should be relatively painless.

If you can suffer the M7 at Tier 5, go up the US Light/Medium line, I am really loving the T21 at Tier 6 and then of course after this it's auto cannons all the way!

2013 Tank check!

[agent00skid]

Probably my best game so far:

[agent00skid]

Tried the 122mm on the SU-100 a bit. Nice gun, but quite expensive to use. :S

So I'm back to the 100mm.

really? i dont want to transfer to SEA because they said it the player only 2k. Well, i always like playing in NA, even with ping over 400 it still playable.

anyway today i got my first T10, JgPz E100, average 1k damage each shot but long reload time.

If you are really talking long reloads.... try out the T92 Arty Ahhhhh but thats 2.2k damage!

So how does everyone here farm credits? I am currently farming with Pz IV. Not the most efficient, but works allright for me currently. Only under crushing defeat will I lose money, on a average victory (1 kill + a few shots) its easily 7-12K after repairs.

For serious farming i have a Lowe and a Dicker Max, usually i use a Panther and a Jagdpanther with 88mm L/71.

[Tatty_One]

I have a couple of Tier 5 arty, they make me a packet (average 15-20K per match), that along with a Type 59 do the job for me.

[mauriek]

for credit farming use SU8 arty and Jadgpanther, i'm working for french arty now for alternative for my SU8.

Yes I use the SU8 and the frenchie also I really like the French, well upto Tier 5 anyways, tier 6 and 7 are underpowered (a lot) but are in part compensated by high ROF.

Unlocked VK 3001 P. Literally a land whale, moves about as fast as a charging tortoise with the firepower of a peashooter. Amazingly I still have a positive wr.

3001P is the 3rd worst tank in WOT (only my opinion of course), the armour is just not upto it, I much prefered the 3601 and 3001H.... it gets dropped by too many tier 4 guns..... in case your wondering, my personal worst is the M3 Lee followed closely by the M7.

I hate the M3 Lee, but I've done well with it.


Among the Tier 6 German mediums, VK3601H is the best because it has three guns for three different styles.

That makes it jack of all trades and master of none. Should have gone for something more sensible than this VKP landwhale (I have seen warnings in multiple places), but I wanted a Tiger (P) :<

Among the three: VK 3601(H), VK 3001(H), and VK 3001(P), they are respectively jack-of-all-trades and master-of-all, great platform to prepare you for the high-tier German mediums (but a bit of a struggle itself among its peers), and the big meh.
