So what is the purpose of the Caernarvon? As being a slower Centurion doesn't really seem to be much of a benefit in exchange for mildly better gun handling.

It's way better than the Centurion 1 deal with it ross. It also has more hp and I actually bounced stuff occasionally in mine. I dunno, but my Caernarvon had a noticeably higher winrate and dpg than my other tier 8 heavies.

If you have an nVidia card their newer drivers come with a thing called ShadowPlay which is actually really good. Takes a shitton of diskspace if you wanna record in 1080p at best quality (I think it's like 4 GB for 15 minutes at 30 fps), but it has very little performance impact and in addition to regular recording it has a "shadow mode" where you can just press a hotkey combination to save the last X minutes of play whenever you want. Very convenient. Otherwise I concur with the other guy who recommended MSI Afterburner, it's legit.

I second this. I used to use MSI Afterburner but shadowplay is so much more convenient. Afterburner does have more options in terms of recording though.

Haven't read FTR in months open it up and find the following "Churchill Black Prince is gaining fame amongst some of the staff that plays and players too, apparently the tank is �comfortable� to drive and reliable, despite the slow speed and rather weak caliber gun, it makes it up for the superb accuracy and reload along with good armor layout".

Glad to see people are starting to figure out that the BP is the bestest tank.

It's a poo poo stain compared to the glorious Caernarvon :colbert:

Never played the challenger so i have no idea. I don't play this terrible game often enough now to grind. VK3001P is pretty decent, albeit a bit slow for my taste. I preferred the 75 on it, much like the DB

In a similar vein as Mesa, which of those free tanks are worth the most in gold? The Fury or T-34-85M? I already own everything else because I hate myself so I just want whichever gives the most gold.

I know the ELC is fun but I never got the hang of it. It is a quick little thing that is hard to hit and hits quite hard. If you like it you should run with it, you will not regret it. I am a loser who got frustrated by it and rage sold it.

So I've come to the realization that the T23E3 is complete poo poo, but I do well in it. I cannot for the life of me explain why or how. It is a pee shooter with pretty lovely pen on a tank that is moderately fast, fairly large with no armor.

Have a fun video from WAY back in the day.

People need to stop hating on the A-44. Its got a huge doom cannon that hits way above its tier on a fast platform. Stop crying pubbie tears about missing your shots at 500m when you should be moving around quickly and lighting up fools at point-blank with your alpha.

I completely agree with this. I hated the thing my first 10 matches in it, but it was complete gravy once I got used to it.

Also since we were talking about T-34-1s, it's only bad because Hellsau didn't carry me this match.

Always knew there was something odd about him. They kept that much gold in there because: "We need a warchest."
People were asking about it for a few days, after BULBA spanked us 5-0, Piece of poo poo One and Piece of poo poo Two decided to take the gold and book it.
I am probably one of the few, but I really don't care about the gold. Finally got into a "stable" clan and this poo poo happens is what makes me upset.

Well poo poo. I'm like you since I like the clan more because we'really good dudes. But not having a payout for a while is gonna suck

So this site is selling the JT 8.8, 7 days of premium, and 1,250 gold for 22.40

That's an insane rate on gold. The JT88 makes credits like mad, and getting 11k gold for 22 bucks is pretty neat. So I guess a skirmish tournament win is worth $20.

Also Primelaw you're an addict, please get help.

Well I have some disposable income now. Just not the time to play the game :smith:

Still need something so I'm not working 58 hours a week while make less than 25k a year.

Never mind that Valentine pack, it's an invite code.

BIG HEADLINE posted:

Someone claimed the JT88+7d+1250g codes *did* stack. You get 10000g for the JT when it's already in the garage, which make those codes an insane value for ~23-25 bucks.

The only potential pitfall is that there are evidently 'good on all servers' and 'only on EU' codes.

Yeah I found them via a Facepunch post on their tanks thread. I bought three of them to test if they worked, which they did for NA without a problem. I actually no idea if there's a hard limit on how many you can use on one account, but they work for up to three without a problem at least.

Here's the link for anyone wondering.
