I think both the tier 1 tanks are fun to play if we are comparing their tier 1 with WoT tier 1. M113 owns.

I do like how they do not punish you as much as wot for going 2fast2furious. However you are not immune, I yoloed off a slope at full speed in my terminator and hosed my tank and killed some bros but in WoT that probably would of been a completely dead tank.

One of my favorite parts of this game is when you fire bullets, they normally go where you want them to. Its a Revolver Ocelot simulator.

Man the Swingfire, while fun, is the complete opposite of the XM800.

Now I'm a slow fucker who needs to stop to shoot, but drat I can shoot so far and accurately.

Twice now I've gotten huge air in both the Dragoon and the XM800 and killed my gunner in the former and tracked myself in the XM800, and neither time has it convinced me to stop going as fast as I possibly can.

I shot and killed the last remaining enemy tank in my Dragoon doing a sick drift going about 80km/h. Goddamn I wish they had replays!

I was playing a patton just now it happened that i shot another Patton in the side, clear shots from close range at an almost perfect 90* angle. I watched two shots hit it clear in the side, between the tracks and everything, and the shell did nothing. No 'no penetration', no bounced shot, it just did nothing, It's not the first time this has happened. Just standard AP rounds. What gives? The first few times I chalked it up to me missing something game mechanic wise but now I've seen it happen multiple times. If you fire during a lag spike does the game just not register the shot or something?

There is word kicking around that there might be problems with shots and packet loss and things. No official word but people reporting similar things.

Just use autocannons, doesn't matter if one shell de-syncs.

How does free XP work in this game? I'm halfway through the Sheridan but kind of want to just free XP the rest and move on. If I free XP the rest of the way, how do I unlock the commander I can only get at proven?

Edit: God the loving MBT-70 gun is so bad.

Free XP, when spent on or applied to a tank, counts as if you'd gained that XP in a battle. Go wild, FreeXP doesn't lock you out of Proven status or any of the other things associated with that.

Downloading this now, what is the most recommended MBT line? I'd check their forums but if their anything like the WoT forums then they should be set on fire.

The nice thing about right now is that there are not a lot of tanks in the game currently, so it's not hard to branch out too once you get the tanks you really want.

Yeah.

Back when I used to play Go Fast tanks in WoT, they were a lot of fun, but you'd always risk throwing a track over the dumbest poo poo.

Yes.
Confirming that this game is good and cool and fun. Certainly still a little rough around the edges, but still really pleasant to play.

Easy and Medium PvE missions could stand to be a bit more challenging imo, each one I tried so far was a complete turkey shoot. Still pretty fun.

I dunno. Easy missions most certainly are cake walks. When I queue up for mediums, there's the one where you have to protect a ship by camping the oil silos and I've yet to see a team beat that one.

So far the Leopard 1 has felt a little anemic, I think it's because it doesn't get a HEAT upgrade so every other tier 3 can deal more damage than your cardboard-skinned MBT.

The BMP-1, on the other hand, has been a loving deathmachine.

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

M41 is too much fun. Zooming around tanks hitting them in their flanks. Just wish it had a bit more armor, seems a bit thin for a MBT.

some nazi apologist pubbie in that thread posted:

People will burn me for saying this but I for one think when you evaluate a unit on its military capabilities and record, that the SS units deserve as much respect as any other fighting force. Also just because a person was part of an SS unit, didn't mean they subscribed to the what Hitler was doing to the Jewish people. Many soldiers in these front line units just had strong pride in their country and wanted to be part of the most elite fighting forces their country operated. Finally, toward the end of the war, many SS divisions were made up of over 70% conscripts. Conscripts don't have a choice what unit they were assigned you.

Point being, don't ascribe Hitler's horror onto the actually frontline unit fighting the war just because that unit had SS attached as a designation. Most of those guys were just fighting for their country and had very little power to influence or change state policy. People tend to get all caught up in symbolism and forget the realities of the situation.

Edit: This is like saying we shouldn't have units named the Republican Guard because they were Saddam's elite force in Iraq when he was in power or saying we shouldn't have a unit called the 460th Sons of Light Armored Brigade, because Palestinians might be offended due to it being an active Israeli unit with a name that has a religious context. Basically no matter what you do, your going to offend someone, somewhere because their great, great grandson was killed by the unit 75 years ago or some such.

It's possible to win but the last time I won it was with four other mbts plus me in the M48. Even then I had to pop the PvE consumable so that I would not die.

So you can do sick snipes on people going 80+ kph. Seriously, the most magical moment in 50 games with arty was when I was driving the Gvosdika and managed to shotgun a Dragoon-300 that was screaming in at max speed to get himself that arty booty, only for him to get atomised by a hip-fired 122mm dustbin. :haw:

Essentially the same as in WoT, but you actually know when you damage/destroy modules by default.
