[QUOTE=lintz;39511861]Excuse you, AMX 13 is sexy as hell. You clearly didn't play Frenchies before the nerfbat hit.[/QUOTE]
The nerfbat didn't fuck the AMX 13/90 up too much, the Lorraine got horribly fucked though. The BatChat is just... eh now, it used to be "lol fuck everything" but now it can't turn and has no accuracy as soon as you move 1 nanometer.
But yeah, the AMX 13 is the sexiest tank ever, after the Jagdpanther. It's just the heavies after the AMX 50 100 that look odd.

I love the look of the AMX-13 line. The fact that they go fast and have tank-revolvers is a bonus to how stylish I look cruising around in them.
And then you buy the Lorraine.
Oh. [I]Oh[/I].
My goal was to get to the T62A, but now I feel a bit anxious getting it. I am on the KV-13 to T44 line so far and I think its not really working for me. (partly because of the weak alpha damage I guess) My play style always incorporates armour protection, following usual heavy routes, living the match even if it means losing it and hull down and flanking when the opportunity arises. .
Maybe the KV-13 isn't a good comparison to the playstyle of the T62A, will the T44 be a more direct comparison?
[QUOTE=Atlascore;39511737]I think French tanks were added as a joke, nearly all of them are ugly as hell and most of them (at least at lower tiers) are awful or average at best.[/QUOTE]
I beg to differ, since if I can actually survive a round in my AMX 50 100, I almost always end up with the most kills and highest damage. The 13 90 is my favorite tank in the game so far, too. Darn thing is just so fun and lethal. Not to mention their AC Mle line of TDs are, in my experience, pretty damn good. Most of their lower tiers are plain terrible, but once you get to the tier 5 and 6 tanks, they really start to pick up.
I'm just disappointed in WG that not only have they taken away the uniqueness of the French tanks, but the new American tanks are better in almost every way aside from speed and drum size, the latter of which doesn't matter at tier 9 and 10. Hell, I can't see any downside at all besides speed when comparing the 50B to the T57.
Also, ARL 44 would be sexiest heavy tank if the front wasn't covered in tools.

T-44 plays very nicely as a fairly nimble flanker with a decent gun and okay armor protection.

Looks more like the Flying Nun, but whatever v:v:v
Just had an amazing and yet awful match in my BP.
[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2013-02-08_00001.jpg[/t]
I took on 7 tanks being the only one left alive, I took 51 hits, fired 60 rounds, in total 10 kills.
It was only two tanks left, a kv1s the only one who could damage me and he did and a kv1 who could pen me at all.
One of our tiger died to a kv1 and a 3001h when he was on the far left side aka the medium/light route.
I did all that work, and we lost, I killed not 1, but 5 tier 7s.
But nothing is never enough to save these shit teams.
1285 exp without premium, on a defeat.
If only that kv1s hadnt killed me I would have won that round.
Got the replay if anyone wants it.

So any news on when a japanese tank line will be added? I think I heard it will be, but I can't remember for sure.
The way it is sounding, I will probably enjoy both the Jagdpanther II or the Ferdi. I want the Jagdpanther II first because I prefer speed over armor in a TD. And I assume if I get the best guns on the Jagdpanther II, they will be available on the Ferdi?
Got the 120mm.
I'm in love.

It's wonderful.
Dear WG, how is T18 even close to being balanced for it's tier? Seriously, that thing murders anything of it's tier without any problems.

That thing is such a pain to face
My old CRT finally kicked the bucket. It's going to take a while to get used to playing WOT with my smaller back-up one. :v:
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;39514879]That thing is such a pain to face[/QUOTE]
Going against one with an autogun? Welp, might as well just give up.

At this point you have two options. 1) You can try to get behind it and light up its ass; or 2)Hide like a bitch (this is my preferred choice) until a teammate that [i]can[/i] kill him shows up.

Thanks instant delivery!
With the panzer IIs 20mm you can pen the very front of the t18 and sometimes even the sloped part of the frontal armor. The superstructure is usually a no-go though unless you hit "weak" points on it, like the gun housing.
THAT T18 HAD A FUCKING REPAIR KIT? THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS THE DEVIL!
Seriously, this is just evil.
Not sure if I have posted this before but I remember the game sweetly.
Everyone was dead so I went to hunt the arty. Right at their base when we start getting capped. get back to our base at 95, arty is spotted at 99 and I shoot when it says base capped, but victory anyway. Holy fuck

fuck this 122 what kind of shot bounces the side of a tank
[QUOTE=Crumpet;39515292]....arty is spotted at 99 and I shoot when it says base capped, but victory anyway. Holy fuck[/QUOTE]
The game can be won at 100% cap, but your team needs to kill [U]all[/U] enemy tanks in the extra time after the cap. Timer will not reset after 100% reached, so you can only win by destroying all vehicles.
The extra time after the cap is extended (I think it's by 5 seconds) every time a tank is killed during that time, so it is possible for one defender to kill two tanks after the cap and win.
Only seen it happen once and I was the second/last tank killed on the losing side :(
[editline]8th February 2013[/editline]
JP II is confirmed as staying exactly where it is now ie T8. Panic was caused by an artist's mistake when drawing up the revised German tree.
Holy shit, I just shot the front of a T29 with my 120mm in the Mle. 48
"WE JUST DINGED THEM"
and there was a HUGE ricochet mark in the front, how the fuck does that happen???
[editline]8th February 2013[/editline]
He was on a level surface, just like I was, he wasn't angling at all.
Did I hit the side of the machine gun nest and some bullshit dinging happened, just like with the KV-frontal armor?
The EU Chinese new year special is a load of bollocks.
Is it a trend that EU gets shit compared to NA/SEA/RU?
You really think SEA gets better specials?
Right, I will admit the discount on tanks is nice...
But;
SEA:

EU:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VKJ789a.png[/IMG]
Inscriptions? 3x vs 5x?
You can't judge from a single special, but historically SEA is the red-headed stepchild to NA. [I]Maybe EU is even worse than that[/I], I don't know, but I wouldn't put SEA in the same "tier" as NA.
And would you rather 3x the shitpubs or 5x the shitpubs? :v:
Oh and for whatever reason they think its a good idea to start EU specials on Saturday and end them on Tuesday.
Why not be normal and do Fri-Mon?
