World of Tanks - SIEMA PL? - Games

It is possible to download the update on EU now. But it's so slow that I'm glad I just bought HoI 3 on sale on Steam so I won't be bored.

it went quite fast for me actually, done now

I got my T-50 and 52mm and I'm finally getting penetration+damage hits while autoaiming, which paired with the speed it has allows me to circlestrafe tanks or go and fuck arty or TDs from behind, which means I'm finally getting some kills. Even getting penetration and damage on KV-1s and such! I can't manual aim for shit so this is a good thing Still have lots of trouble with Hetzers, though. Fuck Hetzers.

EU patch download servers shitting themselves as expected. Downloaded 240mb out of 1200mb in an hour.

i guess i was lucky then, i downloaded it in ten minutes

Light tanks are way more fun now. Drifting around in the T-50 and jumping off of hills is way more fun than I thought.

Been reading up on battle mechanics and it's amazing the calculations this game makes for shell hits and stuff like that, also I think I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the [URL="http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/Battle_Mechanics#Radio_Range"]radio range section[/URL] contradicts itself, since the graphic shows it relays info but the text says it doesn't?

It used to relay info a long time ago but an old patch changed that to no. You need to be within someone else's radio range to see what he sees, but if the other is inside someone else's radio range too, you can't see what the third guy relays to the second.

For some reason I've been doing quite well today, I almost got a master tanker award with T25/2. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] Oh, and enjoy your $4, Orkel.

An excellent video by WG, explaining camo mechanics.

Welp, trying out the ping on SEA with stock tier 1. Two games, two teamkills. Neither malicious, just incompetence (following me like ducks and firing 'through' me at the enemy).

I always thought the max view range was 500m, did they change it or has it always been 445m?

[QUOTE=DaMastez;37818676]I always thought the max view range was 500m, did they change it or has it always been 445m?[/QUOTE] Max spotting range used to be 500, but it changed to 445 in a very old patch. Having more than 445 view range (aka spotting range) on your tank just means that you'll spot closer targets easier. 500 view range (achieved via binocs or optics or shit like that), you'll spot target X at 400m 400 view range, you'll spot target X at 320m etc.

I've seen a dozen camo guides and mine never works that well. Light tank, camo net, 100% camo training and hiding behind a bush and I'll still get picked.

The things I would do for the credits calculator in the video.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;37818706]I've seen a dozen camo guides and mine never works that well. Light tank, camo net, 100% camo training and hiding behind a bush and I'll still get picked.[/QUOTE] its why I just cant play lights. I'm bad at them on top of that

Real lights rush KV-1s and don't give two shits about staying hidden, scrubs.

[img]http://localhostr.com/files/NFA9Rax/shot_037.jpg[/img] How does WG fuck up the tracks on so many tanks? A lot of the German tracks are like this too.

anyone got any idea what Server Error (NO_LOGINAPP) means?

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;37818964] How does WG fuck up the tracks on so many tanks? A lot of the German tracks are like this too.[/QUOTE] Why did you have to post that? Now I'm going to notice it on a bunch of tanks ingame and it's going to annoy me.

retards, retards everywhere(while playing wot now)

So I changed my graphics to maxmimum and My game crashes on the battle screen, I exit out and it goes back to the battle screen. Help.

So I had a one-on-one duel with a Type in my T-43. First 75% of the damage I did to him was shooting him in the sides/cupola (he face-hugged me, or rather ass-hugged, strange that he insisted on shooting my turret when he did that though). The weird part is in the latter half of the duel, I shot him in the same spot on his cupola over and over again, in the exact same spot, and it stopped doing damage to him. Most peculiar...

[QUOTE=Ogopogo;37819390]Must have plugged the hole with the radio operator.[/QUOTE] Either that or the Commander had his fill of shells. "BAM! BAM! BAM-ding!" "No more for me thanks, I'm stuffed. :3"

[QUOTE=O'Neil;37817906]People might call me insane but I actually like the JgPzIV.[/QUOTE] the L/70 has 150 pen now, and that was the biggest issue with the JpzIV, not being able to pen anything because fail short 88.

Historically the Panther was supposed to be better than the Tiger in just about every way. In game it's an ammo rack on wheels.

I killed some tier IV medium by falling off a tall cliff and landing directly on top of him physics are fun

[QUOTE=lintz;37819895]Historically the Panther was supposed to be better than the Tiger in just about every way. In game it's an ammo rack on wheels.[/QUOTE] Mainly because it's stuck fighting things it never fought and OTHER german tanks. it's actually great at fighting historical opponents, to bad they're all tier 5-6 and it almost never gets into battles of it's own tier.
