[stag3]

i stopped at the wolverine as that is the cutoff for both TD lines in the american tree, depends how much the nerfbat hits the T30.
not really feeling the T95 much

Wow.

rofl. Shows how persistent some people can be by facerolling their way all the way up to an is-3. I'm sure this guy will have an is-7 in the next year with a nice 10% win rate.

Wonder if we'll ever see weather effect in this game, like battling in rains with reduced visibility

God, Please NO! I have enough trouble with invisi tanks as it is. LMAO

T32! <3
This tank is fucking awesome. I thought having the same gun as the T29 would just be strictly worse in tier8. NOT SO!

I forgot to mount any equipment and just scored 6 kills, 2278xp, doing 6000 damage. Solo'd an IS, the tier8 AMX, a Lowe, a stug, and a pz iv. Win. (Mountain pass). Then proceeded to cap where I fucked up an ARL 44, KV-5, and jpanther trying to stop me, tiger, and type59.

If I had rammer+vents I would've been even more awesome.

With the upgraded turret and good positioning the T32 is almost impossible to kill. The guns penetration is somewhat lacking compared to the KTs though. The tank is very vulnerable from the side/rear, so if they rush you, or you get flanked, you will be dead pretty easily. I'll be playing it all weekend. Got another 140K xp to grind out on it till I can get my T34 and take a rest.

it's impossible to kill any of the american tanks if they're hulled down, even the t29.

Going to pop in the code this weekend and see if it works! Really need it to grind out the sherman and m7 that's been dragging me down...

 

[stag3]

which code, the magazine one? lol i'm still waiting for my issue to arrive.

 

[eLiu]

Almost at the Pershing: upgrade path suggestions? Are there any modules I should skip with free xp?

And yeah y'all are lucky. My magazine still isn't here yet. I'm actually pretty curious about what's in the magazine in addition to getting the code, haha.

The magazine was actually a pretty interesting read. The issue had a whole section on the eastern front, strategies, plans, etc etc. Also had some medieval articles about richard the lionheart and various other really interesting articles. You'd enjoy the magazine for sure if you're a military buff.

m7 was a fun grind. 6 pounder with vents/rammer and you machine gun the shit outta everyone. They have a hard time hitting you cause you are always making them flinch.

 

[Elcs]

Magazine has limited availability in the UK and the bonus material was US-only. <grumble>

The US heavies aren't invincible if they're hull down. Hit their cupola, hit the front of their turret that isn't the mantlet if it's not looking heavily angled, hit the side of their turret and hit the back of their turret.

On the T32 specifically you can actually hit part of the turret and cause the shell to ricochet down and through the top of the hull armour, causing damage.

On a side note, I am rocking this T34 today and yesterday. 2x Top Gun and 2x Steel Wall.

That's a lot of credits spent on a low tier tank, unless you already have tanks that generate tons of credits for you.

 

[Binky]

I have about 2.9m credits...do I buy an IS3 or the patton? I need my freebie premium T34 dammit!

Tough choice. I like my IS-3 but love my E-50. I like the medium gameplay much more than the heavy tanks. I'd personally get the Patton.

IS3 simply because you may be able to grind for the IS4 before it turns into a tier X.
finish up the russian heavy line before the split if possible

 

[Craig234]

Now that I got the T34, the T30 seems impractical to get for the patch.

It's 240K exp as a straight grind without upgrades, 350K with upgrades. Then it's 6.5M
credits, of which I have 50K.

If I just bought those credits, it'd cost $65 in gold. Grinding them is a really long grind at something over 10k average estimate (several hundred matches not counting upgrades).

I run my type 59 every chance I am not in my main line of tanks. Credits aren't an issue

I should also add that I deck out every tank before moving on unless I come to really really hate it...the 3001p was DEATH for me. I love my Tiger P though. I like to find out what each tank I play is fully capable of.

When is this suppose to happen?

When is this suppose to happen?

It hasn't been announced yet but I think I've heard Q1/Q2 of this year.

More war stories... so it's been *forever* since my KV has been top tank. But that was my situation last game on Ruinberg. And holy hell was it glorious! I forgotten how epic this tank is when it's on top. 10 kills, LOL. I think I killed every one of their tier 5 tanks and 1 shot'd everything else. 1 wolverine pen'd me once. Everything else bounced. I almost felt bad for the T1 heavy that futilely tried to back away from my 107mm of rape. The last kill was an AMX 38 that'd been throwing shells at me while watching me annihilate a D2, Marder II, and 2 wolverines; "Jesus Christ" he said hahaha.

Man that felt good. And thank goodness too b/c I was coming off a frustrating ~8 game losing streak on my T32--went from 50% win ratio to 37%

 

[Lonbjerg]

I got my PzKwIV now.
And replaced the stock gun with a 7,5 cm KwK 40 L/43, upgraded to biggest engine..and I got 3 kills today in that tank.
first time I move around the battelfield not fearing being spotted anymore.So for now I focues on mixing up battles, learnign the different vlasses and tanks to know.

T1 = LeitchTracktor
T2 = PzKwII
T3 = PzKwIII A
T4 = PzKwIII J (so hating the PzKw38nA that I need to get rid if it)
T5 = PzKw IV.
T6 = Still thinking...need to learni the PzKwIV better to know first)

Any words on the value of cammo nets, optics and vents?
How much of a difference dows these make....and is my "money" best spent elsewhere?
