Pretty stupid, I don't remember the Is-4 being that easy to one shot.

Unless there's some giant spot on the is-4 that i can shoot and ammo rack too, pretty sure it's not that big though.

Edited:

Also, an IS-4 ammo racked and one shot me from the front.

I don't even see how that works.

Are you using 285.62? If you are I'd recommend getting the latest beta drivers because 285.62 are the current "stable release" and they're p bad.

yes, I am, the betas didn't fix nor did 277.33


this one is the most stable for me surprisingly though I may give the new one released the 31st a shot tomorrow

also does anyone have any free gold codes? I got a friend that plays it and he just told me. I tried to tell him to stop

I feel like SPGs pretty much remove half the fun from the game and reduces it to camp fests.

I really hate watching half my team camp simply because somebody is across the map staring down at us from some stupid birds eye view cam. I mean weeee

[MadCatMkII]

And then I was unbanned

Just had an awesome game on Ensk in my Panther. It was tier 7, so I wrecked absolute shit, and I actually got to zip-zop-zoopity-bop around the map like an actual medium. I swear I helped out every tank on my team

[Drag#!]

This little Pz38nA tried to shoot trough my armor as hard as possible.



Untill a KV came and killed it :(

Ok...that's it! Can someone tell me wich gun is better for the KT? the last 105mm or the 88mm

[Apache249]

105mm L/68. If you're competent, the money should not be an issue.

[Snarfinho]

Very well them...When I get the EXP I shall use the 105mm...And looks like Wiseman is the only one that rather use the 88mm than the 105mm...

well, the shells are essentially free by comparison to every other gun at tier 8, and the rate of fire is good as well as the damage, penetration, and the accuracy is superb, something the 105s noticeably lack.

Most people want the big knock down guns though.

Researched the IS finally now I just need another 700,000 credits to buy it. Fuck. KV and KV-3 farming, GO!

Because I know how to take full advantage of the 88.
Its still the best gun for the kt.

My roommate told me I've been playing my Hetzer like a med tank. Suddenly my horrible losing streak makes sense.

[Jack Trades]

I haven't played since Beta but I saw that they added tons of new stuff so I decided to try it out again.
It seems like they deleted my old beta account though, so I had to make a new one. Which is a bummer.

Anything that has to do with It and is in estonian is horrible. All the words are abominations and confusing as fuck.

You submit your reply applying to fit to the "x of the week". If you win, you get 1000 gold. Also, I think the best reply of the week gets 2500.

Also, after receiving his 1000 gold, the VK2801 ended up with 106000 gold lol

It used to be there, but it changed in 7.0

http://gamemodels3d.com/model/r45

Now there's ammoracks on the sides (which are impossible to damage with AP because they're behind the impenetrable spaced armor part) and two larger ammoracks mostly behind the upper hull.

Argh, getting the sound mods to work is such a bitch. Every try ends in the soundbank simply not loading into World of Tanks but functioning just fine when I try it out in the half-assed editors it uses.

You know things are afoot when you make an exact copy of the duke soundbank, and simply replace the sounds and that won't even work

Edited:

I also created the most clusterfucked series of sounds for the crew too. Including every stereotypical death yell you can imagine. I've added CoH Panzah Eleet voices to targeting and recieving engine/track damage, and found out that loud ass explosions can be made 3D somehow.

[Orkel]

So I've been banned from speaking for insults. Well then. That was somewhat unexpected, although I was swearing up a shitstorm yesterday with Deano.

It only takes one russian with connections to WoT devs and you're outta there.

Yeah I felt the same way... my best round in a tank for the longest time was an 8-kill game in my Hummel. I felt so proud and yet so sad... people on the forums would say "DON'T NERF ARTY IT'S HARD" while I was bringing in 800-1200xp a game with the hummel, printing shit loads of money, and being bored out of my mind because it was so god damn easy to play arty.

GW Panther is even better, and I have barely bothered to play it because it's so retardedly easy to play. Even the light tanks haven't been much of a problem. Though admittedly... CB makes for some hilarious conversations. I love the hate you get for dropping a shell on other arty.

lol that would explain why I ammo racked an IS-7 through the front. Get close enough with Maus/E-100 and your angle allows you to blow right through the front plate... that IS-7 was MAD

Damn, I really want that commander skill that lets you know when you are spotted, sometimes that alone decides if you live or die in the next few seconds depending on your reaction.

[Orkel]

According to Overlord, no delays have happened with 7.2 yet, it's "on schedule", aka release at end of February

[Ogopogo]

Driver
Skill 1) Smooth Driving: -1% to reticle spread while moving for each 10% of the skill. Does not work when tank turns in one place

Gunner
Skill 2) -1% to reticle spread while moving turret for every 10% of the skill. US tanks

Skill 2) Commander will be informed that his vehicle have been detected. TDs, bushscouts

Chaffee will rape shit with these skills. More or less an additional vertical stabilizer, coated optics, and the amazing ability to know when they can see you.
