loved my jagdtiger so much i kept it once i got the jagzilla

Hated it to the point that after I got it elite and it was still no better I sold it

I have a friend that allows me to play on his account as well. He has every tank in the game except a couple special ones. Never sells any of them. So I get to play everything to test it out.
Which is why I never even bought the jagzilla. The waffle line looks interesting but with the upcoming nerfs to the td's in the next patch it look like I will be going back to the mediums for a while. Instead of going do that line.

Is the Aufklärungspanzer the worst tank in the game? It is bulky, low armor and no firepower. Besides the D.W. 2 this has to be the worst / most boring tank to play. I only have 33% win rate in this crap mobile. Is it worth grinding to the next tier or should I rather spend time going for new US scout line. Currently I have 50k in the t71.

Unlike Datalink7, I got to go through the whole grind on the "Awful-Panther". It deserves the name, until everything is acquired. It's actually a good tank, I got better at playing light tanks during that time and it became even more enjoyable tank.

RU 251 is worth it. Sadly, I haven't played it in a while, grinding too many tier 8 and 9 tanks.

Compared to other tier VII light tanks what is its force?

I does fine damage on same tier for sniping etc. but when you get matched with tier IX you pretty much can only scout and wait until half the enemy team are decimated. With the fast autoloader scouts you always has the possibility to get behind a tank and unleash a good amount of damage in a short time and then run for cover.

This tank doesn't really feel like the hit and run type.

If you stay behind to snipe you can't scout and if you scout you can't shoot. Don't think it will ever be my favorite.

I only have experience with the Bulldog and T71 for tier 7 light tanks. I didn't fare well with the T71 but I was still learning with that and playing against tier 10s too, before the light tank match making changes.

<3 Bulldog, I would take that over the Auf.Panther though I run the non-autoloader on the Bulldog and have been considering making the switch. Currently have 60% win rate on 130 games with Bulldog.

As always, not all vehicles will agree with every player, heck I stink in the E-100. :/

It has the second highest DPM (after the bulldog).

It is also good at fighting other scouts for two reasons.

1) Its upper plate has a decent chance to bounce light tanks of equal tier.

2)It is heavy for a scout (about twice as heavy as the next highest), which allows good rams. It is almost like an E 50 M, except only against other scouts

Coupled with the high DPM it is actually a good foil for other lights.

 

[Scoobyd00]

They are going to nerf the 41 in the next patch, along with a lot of other lights.
The awful panzer is going to get a buff

yeah I have 50K in the t71 and a win rate around 58%

Does anyone know of a mod that puts damage near the aiming circle? I'd like to have damage I do on one side, and damage to me on the other.

Question 2: Is it worth it to join a clan? I'm a casual player and just pop on for a few battles. I probably wouldn't be able to make scheduled matches or whatever happens in wot. I'm not really familiar what happens in clan wars, etc. I put that I was looking for a clan in my profile and got invites, but when I look at the actual members in the clan, the stats say i'm a better player. I'd like to learn to be a better tanker, but that's not going to happen if they all suck. Other clans were too strict, weekly required training and stuff like that.

There are some seriously jerky people who play.

Today I joined with a stranger in a platoon for a mission, him in arty me in scout, and during the matches he cussed out people who killed him, made anti-gay slurs etc.

I noticed in his teamspeak all the channels had names of 12 year old sex words like 'erect'.

His clan leader dropped by teamspeak and asked he had been saying all kinds of cussing, clearly approving.

I told him I ask people to not use slurs and he said he doesn't care how gay people feel and that he's white and says the (n-word) all the time.

The he described himself as an "atheist asshole". He said he's 'conservative libertarian'.

I asked if that means he likes Rand Paul, he claimed he never heard of him or other leaders I asked about or even 'the religious right'.

He said he lives in the mountains of Wisconsin, so I finally asked if he likes Scott Walker, who I don't.

He said he'll tell me of his opinion of Scott Walker, and I noticed arty shots started being aimed at me. He claimed it was the other arty.

I stopped to passive scout, and his arty shot my tank, and he kicked me from the platoon and teamspeak (which I was leaving obviously) with profanity.

Clan called 'kiss'. There are a couple that seem seriously bad I run into.

I usually say when someone on my 'jerk ignore list' is in a match, and repeatedly others say 'he's on mine too'.

 

[Possessed Freak]

To be honest I rage at pubbies who play like blind monkeys. If they at least try to play like something other than a blithering idiot, they get a pass from me. I sure as hell do not use slurs of any kind.

As far as teamspeak channels, even the best clans out there are juvenile boys when it comes to teamspeak. The plethora of childish tags, "edgy" room names, and porn avatars is comical. Hard to take a clan seriously when it screams of a 12 year old's tree house.

Hey I just realized this, if your in need of some gold and don't want to spend a dime you can install World of Warplanes and do the tutorials for 150g.

I thought gold didn't transfer between games?

It does, both gold and free xp transfer, credits do not.

 

[clok1966]

Ferdi, JT and jagzilla I hated. You are trading mobility for armor and with everybody slinging gold rounds armor is worthless. Not that they are bad tanks, just didnt like the play style of them and constantly getting penned by gold rounds.

I am getting a little disgusted by this also, DERPS and tier 4 in in tier 7 match I understand, some of the crap guns, you wanna grind and finish um, i understand, but the gold being flung by guns that can pen almost anything if aimed is getting out of hand. Side strafing and angling are still worth it, but i cant believe how much more gold is shot today compared to a year ago. I am all for WarGaming making a buck, but i think the idea of GOLD was balanced a bit better when it wasn't 50% of the shots. I think it needs a price increase (per shell) or something, messing withe the DPS now is out of the question. there will always be wallet warriors, nothing wrong with that, but I would like to see more skill (side strafing, angling, etc) mean more again.

I'd prefer a cap. If you increase the price, this just gives a greater advantage to the wallet warriors. Instead, do something like make Gold Ammo 20% maximum of your vehicles ammo, though this might need a by vehicle analysis. This way, you have to think about when to shoot gold instead of just spamming it.

Oh I agree, I don't like a price increase (i use it on derps or when I'm the seal in a seal clubbing match). I am not against GOLD at all, but there are some players that can bounce and maneuver like WOT gods (I am not one), the gold nowdays is diminishing those skills. Great players will be great gold or not. its a hard road, spamming gold makes those great players mortal, and that not so bad either.. but I would rather the game rewarded the great player then the rich one. It just so hard a thing to change now (and I doubt it will be) I cant see lowering its Pen, and Price was the only other option i was thinking (again, don't like that either) A cap on shells is more in line and the best idea i have hear so far.

Live with it, i guess, or join um, but i think that will be the end of my WOT days if it turns into a $30-40 a month game. I have to say in the last few years no other game has frustrated me as much (pubs, and my own lack of skill) or made me excited. Those 1 on 3 at the end, great scouts and sniping, beating the hell out of huge tank with a quick one, watching a beast sit in behind a rock and arty taking him out and the whining that follows (disclaimer, I don't play arty myself and hate um, but the came would be a camp fest without um)

 

[stag3]

just make them actual gold rounds again, hey if someone wants to spend actual $ to pen me, let them

 

[datalink7]

How's everyone doing on missions? I have completed TD and Heavy Tanks. Lights is on 13 and Mediums on 14. Might have the Stug tonight. Though, what I'm really looking forward to is the 4th female crew. Putting them in my brand new STA-1. Then I can start working towards the STB-1, where the female crew will eventually end up.

 

[Craig234]

What about either removing gold rounds, or making normal rounds into gold rounds?

Most people don't seem to like the two-tier ammo much.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to go back to gold only, because that was correctly viewed as a 'pay to win' design people don't like.

I don't really mind them too much, and very rarely use them.

 

[Craig234]

How does the new female crews determine nation? Is it fixed? I finished TD missions and have a crew reward waiting, but started to claim it, it was US, and I realized I have no idea what tank to train her for so cancelled the reward for later. I don't know if I get it again if it's random or fixed, or how we get complete crews for a nation since you need all female crews in the tank to get the BiA-like skill.

 

[gammaray]

you choose the nation you want them to be from, it is my understanding anyways.

When I was looking at the reward, it looked like her nation was fixed, while other things had pulldowns, but maybe not then.
