Cones, man. Cones.

And here's a t29



Doesn't take much to go through the top.

Is the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H just bad or am I just bad.

One weird tip to make it die less. I'm always at the bottom third of the pile when I play it.

Is it fully upgraded?

It's a generic medium with no particular strong point, like the M4. Stay away from the frontlines where an IS can come and bloop you for 400 damage.

Yeah-except the top gun is a turd that I've never penned anything with so I use the longer one.

I love the game. I would very much enjoy a single player World of Tanks.

I hate the pubbies. They ruin everything.

Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command is still 74 cents on steam.

It's more simulator but still pretty neat.

Showing your range is the only one I can stand, which might be the minimap mod.

All these turn your reticle into some star trek space age laser poo poo is just annoying. I guess it could be useful if you're a pro clan gamer but gently caress all that noise, made it harder to hit poo poo.

Why am I the top damage dealer in my T29 in so many Tier 9 games. Goddamn POINT AND SHOOT AT poo poo WITH YOUR BIG GUNS.

I really cannot imagine how much better I could have played if I only just listened to him...

Also, I cannot carry in the 3601 hard enough. Don't get me wrong it is a great little tank, but oh boy I cannot win.


Yep, even shooting gold 100% I'm at 42% out of 112 battles. Thankfully I just got enough XP for the Tiger, unfortunately I can't afford it.

After watching some of the replays of the alpha on youtube I'm getting really hyped for World of Warships, I know I shouldn't after Warplanes but it just looks like it actually works and I can't wait to get my hands on it to try it out.

Between Warships and Armored Warfare I'm really excited to see where this genre of games is going.

Have you checked out Fractured Space? I'm about this . . close to buying it.

You never appreciate how hard it is to set someone on fire, until you get a mission to do it.

I've been trying all day and I just got a game where I finished off where I thought a T29's fuel tanks were. Didn't think anything of it, but when I check the after battle report, I *did* destroy his fuel tanks.

But it was the last shot he had the HP for, and so the fire didn't get a chance to tick, so the mission didn't goddamn count. gently caress.

Shoot the back sides of a KV5, catches on fire every time (at least when I shoot it with my Rhym).

I'm having an impossible time killing a light tank with my t69 :/

I apologize if this is a completely stupid question, but I havent played in any meaningful way since MS-W died. I loaded up WOT to use up some of my gold from the clan wars back in the day for premium in Warships and I have 5 tier 10 tanks with flame icons in my garage, where the gently caress did these come from?

They're for the second round of domination. The first one was CTF, this one is DM. Don't get excited, you have to pay tier X repair costs and don't get much experience or gold.

No, don't tell me the T49 is not that great. I'm almost to the Bulldog and the T37 is fuckin' fun as hell-especially when you play clean up duty and get top gun.

It sounds like they're alike in that they're both RNG slot machines that might wreck something or might just waste a shot and die.

Finally got 2000 (2500 actually) in the M41 HMC thanks to a trio of T29s. gently caress that took forever and now I have to do it again.

I picked this back up after about a year of not playing. Did the E1 used to be good? Or did I just think it was? It seems like a turd now, or maybe I just haven't picked it up yet again, or maybe I'm just bad?

Me too. I hate this game enough on its best days that I can't be bothered to play tanks I don't want to play in order to complete missions or whatever.

Me three, I only play about six or seven tanks in all, and I recently sold my T54E1 to get an E2, 'cause Tier 9/10 matches are just a drag. I just play the Chaffee, Bulldog, M41 HMC, M4A3E2 (to slowly get to the Pershing eventually, I guess), T29, Tiger I, and the highest I'll go is the Rhym-Borsig because it's my favorite vehicle. Then I have the SU-100Y which I reluctantly play 'cause it's there and a few credits help when it's not in a terrible position. This game is enjoyable if I just "play tanks" and not think about grinding to the next thing.

I like playing arty, I only have one at the moment, but hitting a running chafee, that's invisible after being leaving spotting range, is something I still think about. It's also fun to load HEAT in my M41 HMC and hit Tier 8s for 700 dmg. I think it's okay since you miss probably 70 percent of shots, or just do a track. I still need to get the Bombardier badge also. Almost had it yesterday but some gently caress shot the 12 hp big Japan tank.

Dec 30, 2008
Spotting is good, I think it pushed this match into an M instead of 1 because sometimes you have to scout in a Borsig: http://wotreplays.com/site/2987271#malinovka-falafal-rhm_-borsig_waffentr_ger

Speaking of TDs, why is the ticker only half way up the maximum on my Rhym? I got a 5+ skill crew and every one has camo + brothers in arms. Is the max with the camo net on? (I do not have the 4% from painted camo.)

Because if you had 100% camo, you would literally never be able to be spotted outside 50 meters proxy spotting, even without bushes.





I mean, why is the mark only halfway up the theoretical max for concealment? Isn't that what the solid line means? It's only halfway.

I was thinking about buying premium again, but since I don't care about grinding, and the rental tanks each weekend give plenty of credits, plus all the boosts we get for free, I don't see the point. Good strategy Wargaming.

Sorry some of you aren't having fun, I've been having a blast driving around in the rental Type-64, it seems comparable to the Bulldog for the most part even though my crew is weak.

Dec 30, 2008
Speaking of Aces, is there a similar list for marks of excellence? I only have two on one tank (the M41 HMC, lol), I'm curious how much more I need to get another on like my Borsig.

New Paris map is cool, it's like a city map, but more open, had a great first game on it.

All that was left was some high tier arty and myself (Borsig). We cornered each other by his flag, not wanting to get shotgunned, I forced his move by starting to cap (he couldn't come around the corner fast enough to shoot me.) I was in front of a big rear end building block and I figured once I started capping he'd go to the opposite side and try to be sneaky. Sure enough he comes around the opposite corner and tries to snap one off quick. It goes way wide, so I blow him up with about 4 seconds left on the cap timer.

I tried some snap shots right now with the 15cm pak l/29.5... still hits the dirt most of the time whether aimed or not.

I oftentimes leave the game open all day long and jump in off and on throughout the day. Yesterday it corrupted my task bar into all kinds of pretty colors, which I assume is a slight memory leak of some sort.

Why do fuel tanks even matter?

Some guy turned his tank over and messaged me over the match (we were the only two left, missed an ace and top gun in my M41 HMC 'cause he crashed) and said he ran out of fuel. Which I didn't think was possible? Or was that in some update that I missed?
