I'm still annoyed that the cool Anders thing (that was named closer to fire support vehicle than tank) that looked like an actual vehicle got cancelled in favour of wannabe Command & Conquer tank. Because that's blatantly going to get cancelled before it enters production.

Also, Polish people are really weird about the idea of Polish military superiority. No one seems to think that Poland has a decent military. Everyone in Poland seems to either think it's atrocious or nearly nonexistant, or it's the best thing ever and could totally conquer the whole world you guys. Then they masturbate furiously over the KTO Rosomak.

So they're just like the rest of us then. Maybe we should've invested in them after all :(

So far I've not only spotted XM1s, but two Challenger 1s out there :ohdear:

And man, the Chieftain gun is possibly a nerf gun. Even the upgraded Sabot is bloody useless against the hordes of MBT70. HESH *pew* 56-113 dmg *pew*

Might just go back to the T-64 and get me a T-72... but on the upside I rarely die in the Chief unless I accidentally bump into half the enemy team out in the open and eat 2 ATGMs before I can take cover.

Tier 5 is in a weird spot since not many people have T5 unlocked yet. I get dumped into either T3/4 games or have to slug through T6 matches.

And yeah, i've seen a LOT of Chieftains, but no Leos or XM1s, even another T-72, i have yet to spot. Wonder why people are going for Chieftains? Guess Armor is the big draw.

Chieftain is a five that takes a tier five amount of xp to get through. It unlocks a seven.

Chieftain is also unlocked by bouncing damage with the Yellow dealer's tanks, which is pretty easy with the Soviet Soup Bowls.

I'm hoping when they add French tanks, they'll include a AMX-13 Harpoon, which is a regular AMX-13/75 carrying anti-tank missiles.

Ney. The Object 155, Expeditionary Tank and Terminator are not tied to a dealer right now. Another way you can see is in the garage window, every Vic has a background and they have the dealers logo in it. Those three don't, so they don't count towards unlocking goals.

It's easier to unlock than other T5s if you abuse PVE bot behaviour with one of the soviet MBTs - you can just corner a bot and let it continously bounce shots off your front for an extended time to grind up the bounced damage.

YOU DON'T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT RACING !
I guess in the long run this game will feature a lot more interesting vehicles than WoT. There's so much hardware available nowadays and I guess some day we might get to see the Israeli Merkava tank, the Japanese Type 10, the Indian Arjuna II and a lot of other fancy stuff and it's really fun to see vehicles from other nations instead of just US, Russians and NATO. Even my tiny country with it's useless army has developed an interesting IFV (together with Spain) with the Ascod.

The dealer system makes it so much easier for them to include random one-offs of interest as well as normal 'trees'.

pretty sure taht is one of the big reasons why they went that way. the traditional tech tree a la WoT seems to be a giant headache for WG when they want to implement new tanks.

I think standard the screens are saved in c:/Users/Username/Saved Games/ArmoredWarfare/User/ScreenShots

The 19 gig file is the install file. It's just there in case you uninstall the game and want to reinstall it without having to download the whole thing again. Honestly, not much point in keeping it.

Personally, if we're talking MBTs, the M1A1 is really good as is the T-90. Leopard 1 is really fun but they start getting a bit weaker later on when compared to the T-90 and M1A1, for example. Ariete has been pretty iffy.

I also greatly enjoyed the M1128 and Ramka-99. For more early-on stuff, the Dragoon 300-90 and XM800s are fun.

Going to push down to the T-90 first, however, and then i'll decide which line to go down next. Thinking i'll grind the M109 and Gvosdika for the two Commanders, but man Arty in PvE is poop...

A revolution of beats
Just got into my T-72(tier 5) and really am liking it. Also I absolutely love the PvE missions. When I get a new tank I play PvE first to get used to it and knock out some unlocks. If I have a bad run of PvP I'll blow off steam in PvE. It's a great addition the the genre and I imagine Obsidian has a bunch of stuff they are going to add to it.

For grinding out cash the Expeditionary Tank is too much fun.

This is the beauty of sniping the clan name right out from under the rug of a well known WoT clan. People who don't know you from a hole in the ground either assume you are a skilled WN8 farmer who deserves praise or dislike you because you are an Asian dude who hides in the back of the map.

What we need to try next is how well we can make some of these people follow ridiculous orders because of the clan tag.

You, you and you go that way, you two go over there and the rest pile into city. I'll sit back here and snipe kills. Ready, on three, break!
