When I try to run tanks on high settings all the graphics turn into black silhouettes. Anyone else ever encountered this problem? I'm thinking it's maybe time for a GPU upgrade?

I'm running a Radeon HD 7850, a Core i5 3570 Ivy Bridge CPU and 8 GB of DDR3 1333 RAM.

The T69 is cool and good and wrecks poo poo even with the stock 76mm.

That is all.

There is a reason why our TS has World of Tanks: T69 Scumbag Edition on it.

Is that medal for being the most intolerable poster in a thread about Warhammer 40.000 novels? Because if it is, you sure blew the competition out of the water, son.

I used to play on a Geforce GTX 240, so the 7850 would be quite an improvement.

Because it doesn't normalise, it doesn't handle spaced armour well, and tracks eat it? Shooting all HEAT out of anything above tier 5 that isn't an E100 is dumb as all hell and the mark of a bad player who desperately wants to be one of the cool kids.

The majority of ammo shot from a T-54/T-55 should be AP unless you're frontally engaging heavies. This winner was firing HEAT at the sides of lower-tier mediums, and not doing damage because their tracks kept eating it.

I think the t54/55 is the exseption from this rule, due to the difference in pen between normal AP and heat. I think AP is 200'ish and Heat is 330'ish? , which makes a huge difference. who needs normalization when you get 100+ exstra pen. just shoot anything in front instead of tracks and your fine, even turrets are easy pens.

personally i avoid heat due to spaced armor/tracks myself. but the t54 is one of the few i carry lots of heat, and im close to gettin the t55 as well :)

Hmm, maybe I'll look for driver updates or something. When I tried to play tanks in HD my framerate slowed to a crawl (5-10 fps). That's if I can even get the graphics going at all... generally I just see black silhouettes instead of tanks/buildings/terrain.

Also, Type 59 rules. I have nearly 1/4 of my overall matches in it (485. not a ton, but I don't get to play much).

Being the mega paranoid person I am, I am not sure if I need stay home and play tanks Friday to get the tank. This is my current ranking:



A few of the leaders were saying the estimates are coming out to say that above 85k should be good to get the tank. Does anyone know for "sure" what the cut off is going to be?

As much as I want to be social and talk to other human beings on a Friday night, a $30 pixel tank is calling for me.

the cutoff right now is 51k and it's only been going up 4-6k a night; the lower end just aren't getting the big modifier games so I wouldn't worry

real edit: I killed you last night on mines

There is a small chance, we literally pulled Beerstein up in like 2 days. That said, you really should have shown up before, because we are getting a stupid amount of people the tank with licenses most likely.
