Fucking tired of being teamed up against 5 fucking KV's when I'm a fucking tier 3, what the hell am I supposed to do to them, cuddle them?

[Kilgore 2nd]

To get troll gun or not to get troll gun..hmm.

I have it researched but i'll feel like a dirty whore if I use it.

[zom_bie]

Just survived for about 1 minute as the last man standing against a VK4502P, IS-4, 2 E-100s, a Pershing and an E-75. Took a few shots at the E-75 and one of the E-100s and then got swarmed by them all. Fuck.

Kill the smaller tanks

[Bonde]

Hehe, I got my old Hetzer back. It reliably damages Tiger tanks. I just damaged two different Tigers over 20% of their HP in one match.

Could someone please tell me what to get for the IS first, because I honestly have no clue. I currently only have the 100mm and the radio.

If you're shooting them frontally, remember to aim at the turret. The HE blast goes downward through the thin hull roof above the driver and does a lot of damage.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to get expert or premonition for my vk2801.

The 105mm gun makes for some satisfying crits, which would be great to see with expert. I don't bushscout with this tank, I use it for rushing arty midgame, but it would still be nice to know when I'm spotted with premonition so I know to evade.

Actually, now that I think of it, premonition may not be that good for light tanks, bar the Chaffee due to its view range. Both the Vk2801, and the T-50-2 are more of runners, while the AMX 13 90 has a substantial gun. While yes the chaffee does have a rather nice gun, its view range and lower top speed mean that being spotted is a rather big deal, as you can either bush scout, or scout in the open, seeing beyond your enemies.

They're hiding behind the kv's, who made a fucking killing field.

[Bonde]

My god.

I have never experienced the true glory of the Hetzer before.

[ToXiCsoldier]

I don't know how you people get so good with the KV, i try but get put in tier 9/10 matches all the time and the first t59 sets my engine on fire and disabeling my gun/ turret.

Victory!
Battle: Abbey 22. febrúar 2012 22:42:10
Vehicle: T-54
Experience received: 6.130 (x5 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 50.842 (compensation for damage caused by allies: 1.695)
Battle Achievements: Confederate, Sniper

Sometimes i feel like my own team are my enemies, was brawling with this other T-54 and i was winning, i killed his commander and eventually got him down to 10% or so and as i was ramming his front a shot from an allied object 212 comes landing right between us, blowing him up, blowing both my tracks of and killing my driver + damaged me by 300+ or so points, i heal my driver and continue towards their base, engage an E-100 and fire a few rounds into his rear, his turret and sides, bringing him down to around 15% and as i'm about to fire my last round while hugging his rear a shot from this allied T28 a few miles away comes flying out of nowhere and destroys me, all my fucking rage i swear, how fucking stupid must you be to accomplish shit like that, later he said shit like "just smile and say shit happens, we win anyway" and then the amazing compensation system worked as intended.

[Bonde]

I really think that the compensation system should be more tough on people who just carelessly fire rounds in the general direction of the enemy without thinking of teammates. At least the fines and compensation should be doubled, then it would fit the damage actually done much better.

[cpt.armadillo]

What was your repair bill?

[Bonde]

Nothing, I rarely get hit by teammates(I don't know why.), I was just sympathizing with the people who do.

[Ogopogo]

Doesn't the system penalize you if you damage a teammate on top of the compensation, meaning that you get less compensation? They should really allow it to to take the credits that it would cost away from you, regardless of whether you have earned enough or not. Also, they should add a forgive button.

19k to repair the tank, 28k for ammo.

Being in the AMX 38 I know how dreadfully annoying that can be.

[fishyfish777]

Anyone else have as much trouble with the German tanks as I do

Every time I grumble and buy the PzIII/IV back for the VK3601 grind I am continually surprised at how a tank could be that soft and not have any sort of firepower whatsoever

The PzIII was one of my least favorite tanks in the game too

Edited:

It's to the point where I've been trying to grind Germans slowly over the past year and have only gotten to Tier 5 while I was able to grind French lights in about a week or two

can we make it banable to ask questions about artillery here? I think the majority of us hate artillery more than 4chan hates puppy and kitten killers.

As a tier 7 arty driver I can honestly say; grind another line

Arty is boring as shit to play, makes 0 credits, and requires AGES or grinding to get to a good one.

Because I totally love the slowest and most boring of heavy tanks.

[PvtTwinkletoes]

So there's this guy in a Lowe who in the beginning of the match posted an end of round report in the chat about how good he did and was showing it off like a douche. Now I called him out on that because of the way he's acting, and because the report was from 2 weeks ago. So as a result everyone instantly turns on me and I somehow become the dick. I really wish I took pics of that....

Light tank.

[Raidyr]

We will also be introducing a new experience redistribution feature for your tank crew that works similarly to retraining a crewman.

* Gold reset – Returns full skill experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
* Credit reset – Returns 90% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
* Free reset – Returns 80% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.

This is pretty okay. I was expecting gold-only respecs. I'd definitely pay in credits.

[oldage]

Since the 5x XP was 24 hours there's still like 3 hours left, and the first win timer reset 2 hours ago I guess I'll be getting my vk2801 at last.

Gold is p much necessary in later skills, getting that last 10% takes a century at the second or third skill so using credits isn't very nice.

So, T28, King Tiger or power-grind to the IS-3?
