[MMO] World of Tanks

[stag3]

what i did to start generating free xp again was to turn off acceleration on any non used tanks in cw. it's starting to pile up again!

I'm pretty much at the Tiger P (5k more experience), which is why that line would be easiest. I'm just worried it isn't different enough from the E-75 line to be fun.

One advantage I was just thinking of though is that with the Russian TD line, I'll have a three crew skill crew available for the OBJ 704 when I get to it from my SU 100y. I've played my box tank a lot. I love that thing. 65% win rate in it over a solid amount of games (214). I'm in the SU-100 right now.

For the rest, nothing in Japanese, Luchs for RU-152, and Stock Chaffee (haven't bought it yet) for the Walker Bulldog.

I found the SU-100 to be a brutal grind. The gun just can't snipe, and the tank has no armor so it can't be something that pushes, and with the cammo nerf, it can't hide behind bushes anymore and it is too slow to play popshot... I am just glad I made it through that tank before the TD nerf, I can't imagine doing it now.

The SU-152 isn't too bad as long as you don't mind losing 20k per battle. I believe it is either the stock gun or the first unlock, but HE in that think is just deadly (once you get use to its slow muzzle velocity... much like the KV-1 derp gun of old).

been rough for me the last week, just not feeling it, may need a break. barely hitting 1800 wn8. i'm just glad my w/r is hovering around 50% so i'm only losing a little towards w/r
i should just sign on to do my daily doubles on the pershing and ferdi and leave it at that.

1800 is pretty good, not sure what you're complaining about!

Bought a i5 4690k Devil's Canyon a week ago, it came with a promo code for WoT related. For me, I got 1250 gold and an 8.8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger.

It also comes with 3 more codes for me to give away. I'm keeping one just in case for my GF son, he might be interested, since he does a little bit of War Thunder tanks.

The codes are for new players only from what I understand, NOT existing accounts. PM me.

Side note, yay, got T-54 tank! Boo, weak engine. More grinding...

Edit: Premium time too, 7 days worth.

JT 8.8cm is a good way to earn credits. And it has the same crew as the JT or JP E100, so is a good way to train crews for each.

 

[stag3]

i only have the dickermax that i got for completing some mission awhile back, im missing the extra loader i think but that doesnt really matter as crew accel would make that back up quick

 

[microAmp]

Transferred for the time being my JPanther crew to it, plus 1 new rookie. Since that crew will also go to the JPanther II once the former is completed.

It's a nice tank, can bounce quite a bit at times.

 

[datalink7]

It has the same armor as the JT, which is Tier IX, so when the JT 8.8 is top tier it is quite bouncy.

 

[stag3]

so i started a crew with the ferdi, free xp'd every module, and have gotten the 150k to unlock the JT, but my crew hasn't even gotten it's 1st crew skill yet wtf...... im at like 95% on the 1st skill ugh

good thing you don't really need a lot of crew skills for TD's

i went 6th/clutch braking with everyone else on repair
i'm pretty sure camo is useless for the endgame jagzilla so i'll probably
train something and then gold 2nd set of skills to BIA after starting the 3rd

 

[datalink7]

Yeah. Camo on the JP E100 is pretty terribad.

I actually loved my JT so much though that I kept it and started a new crew on the JP E100. I also kept the Ferdinand just because I like it historically speaking, though I don't think it is a super great tank, though you can still have great games in it.

 

[BoT]

Battle Hero Status! :awe:

had a good amount of bounces too

 

[microAmp]

I killed a teammate last night, no blue for me luckily. Me and several teammates were swarming towards the last remaining enemy tank, T95. His butt was facing but he was turning clockwise. I was either moving to his side to continue to get rear shots, clockwise also.

Well, a shot bounced off his right side and hit my teammate, killing him.

After further review, doh, he drove into my shot :/

 

[PowerYoga]

can you bounce shots into your own tank? I haven't played since the new patch.

 

[microAmp]

I'll venture a guess with a no. Mostly because a shot would have to do a 180 degree turn to come back at you. There are no double; or more; ricochets and a shot continuing to do damage to a 3rd target.

 

[stag3]

i think it's possible, i know even pre patch the 183 could by firing hesh point blank! good times

 

[Skott]

In theory its possible but not very likely. The shot, if it bounces or ricochets, is going to go off in some other direction most likely due to angling and so forth where it may or may not hit another tank if its close enough.

 

[stag3]

wow rough weekend, at 42% w/r no matter how i do ugh
i did however complete the grind on the ferd and now have the jagdtiger, and used the 50% off crew training

i'm digging the jagtiger so far, however for 276pen it seems to bounce more than the ferd did haha

Yeah I love the JT. One of my better win percentage tanks (over 60 percent with a good amount of games). Sometimes the pen can be troll but usually I don't have a problem with it. I have more of a problem getting the armor to work. But what the tank is great for is extreme range sniping IMO. The pen plus alpha is really nice.

I'm about to hop on for the first time in about a week and a half. Work has been super busy for a while. Hopefully I get some good matches.

 

[datalink7]

Pretty decent day today. However, I started out HORRIBLE, on a personal level. First four games I did ZERO damage. I guess I was really rusty after taking the week and a half off.

However, after that horrible start I dropped down to the T1 Cunningham to shake the rust off, then had a decent rest of the night.

After 24 games ended up with 66 percent win rate and 2k WN8 (which was good considering after 4 games to begin with I had about a 100 WN8 ). This also means that... drumroll... I am now officially at 54% win rate overall!

Just barely at it though (54.00%). We'll see if I maintain.

I wonder how many you from AT I've run into in WOT. I've been playing for about a year now, and this has become one of my favorite (and most frustrating/challenging) multiplayer games.

+1 :thumbsup:

Wow someone else that actually understands that tank. Whenever I play it I get yelled at by the team of noobs who have no clue.... Its armor really isn't that great for a tier 9, but its gun is amazingly accurate to snipe with. But don't expect it to move anywhere close to enemy lines without scouts going first....

 

[PowerYoga]

why would you play it any other way? the armor is soft unless you're hulled down and brawling is the russian TD line's job. Why waste the accurate and punchy gun to gimp your tank...

i pretty much have given up on the armor, i play it pretty agressively and just need to decide if i want to trade that damage, been doing well in it. i don't like sitting in the back and sniping..
