There is no need to look any further, as World of Tanks has what you're looking for! If you have even the [I]slightest[/I] interest in tanks or even MMOs, we're sure this game will be a hit for you!] [B]About the game:[/B] World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, China, France and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy glorious Russian bias! A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces with heavy tanks, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers (artillery), each type of tank has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace. But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In the World of Tanks, it’s all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield (See thread title). Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank power!

Filipino players are to Australian players as Brazilians are to American players. I haven't played a game for the last week where I don't see a Pinoy telling me to eat a dick and die because I'm a white pig.

Wow, just had a tier 7 game which looked won. Then everyone on my team went at an SU-152 single file, one at a time. It takes skill to be that bad.

[QUOTE=pawelte1;39931462][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qIyPYT8.png[/IMG] Barbie players unite![/QUOTE] Quite frankly, HEAT lobbing T69s are annoying as fuck. I am grinding for one myself, but still.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;39931640]Quite frankly, HEAT lobbing T69s are annoying as fuck. I am grinding for one myself, but still.[/QUOTE] You're pretty much forced to use HEAT with the T69. Playing an autoloader with piss poor penetration is awful.

I just unlocked the 120mm on the AMX 50 120 Holy Shit [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] This thing shits out unstoppable rape every 3.3 seconds

[IMG_thumb]http://i47.tinypic.com/359d46q.jpg[/IMG_thumb] That was one hell of a close round. I was certain we were going to lose, but thankfully their su-100 was afk. Victory!

Just had a fun game in the T32, only 1.2k damage but 5.58k potential damage received in a T9 game. Goading arty has never been so fun.

[QUOTE=Darmok;39932093]Just had a fun game in the T32, only 1.2k damage but 5.58k potential damage received in a T9 game. Goading arty has never been so fun.[/QUOTE] T32 is honestly a great solid tank, turret armor for the win.

Jesus christ the AMX 50 120 is ridiculous, I put out 4.5k damage in the first 4 minutes of a match. How is this shit even possible [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] My global efficiency has gone up 3 points in 20 matches, holy crap

Just don't get shot in the sides, since the whole tank is a ammo rack it seems.

[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/moneywells.png[/t] I have achieved my goal. Now, off I go to lose money in all of them.

I just unlocked the 50 120 as well, haven't got enough cash to buy it yet, hopefully that 1000 HP engine makes a difference.

Hot damn, this was fairly good but still doesn't top that time I killed 8 with the M3. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XDRcbgL.jpg[/IMG]

Stock Chinese 110 is so painful, only have the IS-2's 122 so far..

[QUOTE=Darmok;39933322]Stock Chinese 110 is so painful, only have the IS-2's 122 so far..[/QUOTE] Oh, you mean the gun with 300mm penetration HEAT? Must be a really painful grind.

yep that gun, the one sat on the turret that gets pen'd by every teir 6 and their mothers loltraktor

Woop de fucking do My graphics card fried and i had to replace for a gt 7300 until july. How 2 lowest possible config?

How does one not get ammo-racked in the stock Tiger from the front?

[QUOTE=Unib5;39933697]How does one not get ammo-racked in the stock Tiger from the front?[/QUOTE] If you angle too much you get racked in the side. But a good player can aim at the corners of the front hull, to hit the side ammoracks. Most tend to aim for the frontal engine though. You gotta choose, either get racked or engine'd. Or just play the Tiger like you're supposed to, and never get hit. [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] If you really gotta angle though, do it via sidescraping, and adjust the angle according to the penetration of your enemy's gun, and if they're good players (use xvm) they might use gold ammo so watch out.

[QUOTE=LtBubbles;39933413]Woop de fucking do My graphics card fried and i had to replace for a gt 7300 until july. How 2 lowest possible config?[/QUOTE] I used to play this shit on a Pentium D and a 7300GT back in beta days. It was do-able but the game didn't look pretty.
