This tank is so fat and low that you can actually get the bushes to not look like garbage. Since like 90% of playing fast tanks is getting to the back side of an incline somewhere with good sight lines and shooting dudes who can't see you, this is actually pretty useful.

Sales just hit my PSN region \o/ e: yeah I like it, vulnerable and with only two crew like most of the tanks I like, gonna take a while to learn to guesstimate ranges but is capable and nice, feels good.

I forget, can you still buy gold on the cheap using rubles or did they fix the poo poo out of that?

You can get your tank pretty black using this hun decal if you make it big, two sided, and rotate it around right:

I was still undecided about getting one of the packs and was leaning towards doing it, but welp, the preorder store pages are gone. Managed to get a vehicle ground out and talisman'd with my last GE just about five minutes before the server went down, at least.

I mean, if what you want is closed beta access then you can still buy either of them, can't you? You just miss out on pre-order benefits (which are like a title and a decal). Also store discounts on PC aren't live yet?

You've been able to by CBT packs for every new tree so far after their relevant update. I don't see why this should be different.

I'd love to see French tanks before Italian tanks but I suppose Italians are next, considering they've already got the packs out.

Man, I can't believe the patch has dropped already. I can't wait for French tanks and it looks like we might get them sooner than expected. Come on Char 2C. I just hope that the pusher plane was worth buying.

Well the French are pretty cool to play, the lower tier stuff doesn't feel like it turns like other nations (I mostly play Italy these days though), but the guns are extremely nice for lower tier. Individually, the 7.5s make the Italian .50s look pretty amazing, but most planes get 4x MGs so it's actually extremely cool. I'm sure it's just new syndrome but no-one seems to climb as france, and no-one cares because the french planes are overall nice. The Potez 633 and whatever follows it is a big joke because it has a rubbish bombload and ~noguns~, so the 631 is definitely the best Potez model, and it's actually pretty agile relative to it's competitors (e.g., Ba-88, Bf-110). French planes, much like Italian planes, really value being very close to the bad dude before shooting so all these French planes with cannons will be quite competitive as long as players don't fire too early. Also the 633 has a placeholder cockpit how loving lazy Recoome fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Nov 1, 2017 |

The game is naturally, not counting poo poo correctly for the ground unit five wins challenge. Survived a match in the T114, was given an 86% activity rate, nothing. Died in it and eventually won while in the T2 X-38G, got one win. 97% activity in the Ostwind, nothing. Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Nov 1, 2017 |

One of the annoying bits when hunting sky gods was the super quiet jets. Prop planes you always got advanced warning by hearing them 5km out, while jets could be strafing you at 1km out and still be silent.

Bundles are on sale today, right? Any particular suggestions? I already have premium from the sale, I don't really need a premium vehicle, but some of them are cool. I'm mostly looking at British and German ground forces, but I'm open to any premium planes too.

I can't even get the store page to open right now but if the IS-6 or Tiger II Sla are on sale, those are both solid picks right now. The T-29 is okay but the US is better off being ground out with the M46 or light tanks IMO.

The loud as gently caress plane sounds are terrible, it's impossible to hear anyone approaching when your own engine drowns out everything.

If the M8 tank challenge won't earn you wins and you do things correctly, just keep winning, eventually it works. and it is worth it, 90mm maxpen like the M22 Nickiepoo posted:Anyone got a goontips(tm) on which ones are most worth looking at (value of the vehicle included that is)? In my case I picked the Ultra pack, T4 air grindgods for Germany and Japan and 10k GE, T3s for UK RU and a kickass XP-38G for the US. There is an ultra-like pack for tanks but it's just T1s and T2s and a complete shitpile. Smaller separate packs have rare sometimes unique tanks but you gotta go separate bundles for T4+ grinder tanks. Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 1, 2017 |

P-51D or P-47 are literally untouchable if you sideclimb and avoid committing to turnfights after diving. But if you are doing that I am afraid you have gotten good.

Heads up, Gaijin is dumb as gently caress with the event. If you use a plane in ground forces, it counts towards the plane, not the tank.
