[QUOTE=Orkel;37326778]Pics of new TDs. T8 missing for some reason[/QUOTE] Because, I believe, they changed their minds again and will make the tier 8 (SU-122-44) into a premium, and the first two will be tier 7 and 8 instead.

Apparently Obj. 263 is based on IS-7 chassis. So it's basically gonna be a fast TD with thick front and paper sides?

Uralmash-1 gives me massive hardon. It's a fucking spaceship.

[QUOTE=Azaz3l;37326924]Apparently Obj. 263 is based on IS-7 chassis. So it's basically gonna be a fast TD with thick front and paper sides?[/QUOTE] 60 km/h top speed, 250mm thick front hull + superstructure, open top making it super arty vulnerable, paper sides prolly French level, ~260mm gun pen (lowest of all t10 tds) 750 damage (also lowest) but with likely insane RoF resulting in high DPM. That's what we know so far from what SerB/Storm have said and what the videos have shown.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;37327019]worldoftanks.eu on development page says[/QUOTE] Oh. The news team must have written the tiers wrong then

Sounds like it. [editline]20th August 2012[/editline] Azaz3l dug up something ridiculous but it brought me an brilliant idea. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/0/0b/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82_610.JPG[/IMG] This SU-122-54 didn't suffer freak hacksaw accident nor is a long lost Hetzer's bastard daughter. The thing sticking out of it's front isn't a gun at all. it's a telescope for precision spotting and coordinating artillery fire. (okay I am not 100% sure but apparently it is) This gives me an idea. Introducing a completely unarmed tank to the game would be silly, but I think making all the normal tanks do this is what could help to fix the whole artillery gameplay. [B] Active Spotting for Artillery[/B]. Remove Artillery's ability to see enemies all around the map through it's satellite murder view with exception of vehicles any teammate of the Artillery "Tags". It would work a bit like in Bad Company, or whatever that game is, except not. The player could use a specific button to paint the enemy, revealing it for it's team's artillery on it's satellite view, and it would stay that way for, lets say, three seconds. If the artillery wanted persistent view of the tank, some teammate would have to spot the target again. To be able to "Spot" for artillery, you would need direct LOS to the target. No bullshit "can see anything if it's under 50 meters of distance". This would have several effects. The active players on front line would themselves be able to paint the most dangerous enemies and the artillery could actively help them. Artillery couldn't snipe your sorry ass because some chucklefuck who's busy fighting three your enemies sees you thanks to camera mounted on it's fucking idler wheel. Scouts would have an actual activity to pursue, aside of "DO THE BENNY HILL". Who's up with this?

Its a good idea but there is one problem. Its not going to happen. If WG did implement this system, I would gladly give them money.

Sounds complicated. I don't think shitpubs could handle it. They're still learning encounter mode.

Too complex for pubbies. I suggested something a while back that artillery's view should refresh every second or so when someone is spotting a target, leading to stuttery movement of a tank across the map and making evasive maneuvers far more effective. However when a light tank/designated scout spotted a target it would refresh constantly like it currently does.

Not all that complex. Mash G to spot targets; receive exp once SPGs slam it. There would always be 1-2 guys doing it, at least. Also it would be hilarious to watch arty screaming at team "SPOT THE ENEMIES NOOBS"

I never thought I'd say this about World of Tanks, but those desert screenshots look...kinda good.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;37327531]Also it would be hilarious to watch arty screaming at team "SPOT THE ENEMIES NOOBS"[/QUOTE] they do that anyway

[QUOTE=Raidyr;37327576]I never thought I'd say this about World of Tanks, but those desert screenshots look...kinda good.[/QUOTE] They lack some anti-aliasing.

Wait what does G do?

[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;37327884]Wait what does G do?[/QUOTE] G is for godmode. Alt+F4 gives you 170cm gun instantly. (I was implying it MIGHT paint enemies for arty)

I decided to try the Soviet TD Line again by rebuying the SU-76.

[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;37332383]I decided to try the Soviet TD Line again by rebuying the SU-76.[/QUOTE] I suggest you to grind the SU-100 and wait until 8.0. The second branch seems better.

oh god the D2 oh god the B1 the D2 is so bad I don't want to play it anymore even though I'm almost to the B1

[QUOTE=Saza;37334462]oh god the D2 oh god the B1 the D2 is so bad I don't want to play it anymore even though I'm almost to the B1[/QUOTE] At least the BDR G1B is slightly more than a training target for IS-4s now

[img]http://puu.sh/XhQO[/img] seriously now i've done it all give the me the b1 already instead of making me grind more

D2 is the worst tank in the game. B1 has the same guns, but it's a bit tougher, a bit more manoeuvrable, and [I]gets the same matchmaking[/I]. BDR G1B is like a granny with a .44 magnum in her purse. So it gets better.

so I forgot that general chat in-game is a shitfest of absolute fucktards [img]http://puu.sh/XidT[/img] oh well now I can't voice how stupid they are some guy tries to tell me multiple accounts aren't allowed so I prove him wrong and get banned lmao

Really, you should have went with AMX38/Duck/ELC line, much more enjoyable. Except duck, which for some reason, is much weaker to artillery than AMX38 (probably due to matchmaking of Tier 2 arty VS Fucking Hummels).

Not usually the tank destroyer's job, but: [QUOTE]Victory! Battle: Abbey Monday, August 20, 2012 10:09:19 PM Vehicle: SU-85B Experience received: 443 Credits received: 8,202 Battle Achievements: [B]Invader[/B][/QUOTE] Did it all by myself too although I had to fight my way through a Hetzer, T-28, and a SU-76 while I was at it, with me killing the last two and another Hetzer helping me killing the Hetz.
