[QUOTE=ze beaver;39518516]I wonder if it's actually the case IRL, since the Caernavon is an earlier model. It's probably too much vodka in WG's modeling department though.[/QUOTE]I see now, and I got home and can just see the difference between the two front plates.
Thanks for sharing.

203mm for us non-americans
Hopped in the Valentine to have some fun, had a 3-minute standoff against around half the enemy team, using my entire ammo load. None of them were using autocannons.

The real question is what sort of gun it'll have.
the kind of gun that fucks you up
[QUOTE=Useful Dave;39520329]The real question is what sort of gun it'll have.[/QUOTE]
75mm to a 95mm. At most the 75mm HV or 77mm HV. It is an assualt tank, not so much a tank destroyer.
The amx 13/90 is awesome. Killed a Carn almost by myself. Ofc he said I used gold ammo.

So I bought an S-51 for the arty party weekend
god DAMN playing the S-51 is even easier than it was back in beta, nobody knows how to counter-arty anymore and NOT ONCE has an arty on the enemy team moved after firing
Im racking up 2-3 kills a game from literally doing nothing but counter-battery
Collecting artyfag tears as they call hacks is almost as good as killing them in my scout tanks
[quote][B]Clan Wars: Rise of the Americas Event, Stage 1[/B]
Tankers!
Stage 1 of Clan Wars: Rise of the Americas is a go for this Monday, February 11! Soon you'll be able to embark across a brand-new map in an all-out battle to stake a claim in the Americas. We have full details about the start of this event below including start times and rules.
[B]General Information[/B]
Prime time will commence at 18:00 PST (2:00 UTC) on February 11, 2013 for all landing zones.
EU and Africa maps will be opened with normal landing zones, following all normal CW rules until the end of the Rise of the Americas event.
Clans can land in North America, Europe, and Africa; they can land on any region.
Clans can apply for landing using the amount of chips available to them. No other restrictions will be implemented in regards to how many landing tournaments a single clan can apply for.
Stage 1
February 11th - Area 1 Landing Tournaments
Global Map will be down between 06:00 – 07:00 PST (14:00 and 15:00 UTC)
All maps are wiped: EU, NA, and Africa.
At 07:00 PST (15:00 UTC) the maps come back up.
Landing tournaments are limited to 64 clans each. Each hour, the number of slots taken will be updated. If the limit is exceeded within the span of one turn (before the number of slots is updated), the remaining slots will be filled at random from clans making a landing application.
If you apply for landing and the 64 slots for the Rise of the Americas tournament are full, and you do not participate in a battle, your chips will be moved into reserve before February 12th.
[b]Area 1 will open at 07:00 PST (15:00 UTC) Feb 11, 2013. All Area 1 provinces will turn into landing zones.[/b]
A tier I-III restriction stays in place for the duration of Stage 1.
Landing tournaments will begin at prime time 18:00 PST (02:00 UTC) on February 11th.
February 11th - Area 1 Clan Wars Continues
All of Clan Wars goes down for one hour from 22:00-23:00 PST (08:00-09:00 UTC Feb. 12) on February 11, 2013.
Chips will not be refunded and will reactivate according to normal Clan Wars rules.
Area 1 provinces revert to standard provinces, along with what will be their active landing zones, allowing other clans to apply for landing. The following provinces will be available for landing:
-Rochester, Minnesota
-Highlands, Missouri
-Shreveport, Louisiana
-Montgomery, Alabama
-Savannah, Georgia
-Raleigh, North Carolina
-Delaware
-Rhode-Island
Chip and headquarters placement will follow regular Clan Wars mechanics for the remainder of Stage 1.
We'll provide details for Stage 2 as that particular event approaches release.
Achievement Medals
Clans who manage to capture and hold the major provinces at the end of the entire Rise of the Americas event, will be awarded with these special achievement medals for their members:

Atlanta, GA Chicago, IL New York City, NY Riverlands, MO
[B]Achievement Details[/B]
If you hold one of the four listed provinces at the end of the entire Rise of the Americas event once all stages are complete, and you hold additional provinces, you'll earn 50,000 for each province you own.
For example: If you own Atlanta, GA and four other provinces, you'll receive the Home of the Braves medal with 4 x 50,000= 200,000 in your Clan Treasury.
In addition, if you hold land at the end of the Rise of the Americas event (once all stages are complete) that does not include one of the four provinces listed above you'll receive 10,000 in your Clan Treasury per province.
For example: If you hold four provinces at the end of the Rise of the Americas event and none of them are the four provinces listed above, you'll receive 4 x 10,000 = 40,000 in your Clan Treasury.

Ah, fuck it. Don't want to use the last 4 days of premium. I'm uninstalling this game.
Played 1 game after 3 days of not playing and I feel so fucking annoyed already. Hugging a corner, hulled down. T34 and IS sat next to me in the open, arty hits me, why???.
Anyway my wonderful team mates get themselves killed and I die because i'm overrun. Really, this game can just go suck a dick. I really hate it.
Guess i'll see you in a few months to check in and try this game again. See if it's got any less shite. Games are meant to be fun, this feels like a fucking job!

Trying to upload a picture of the magical bullshit to imgur but it's overloaded -_-
One downside to the whole clan wars event. There are no special limitations to artillery. IE T92's while in IS-3's

God fucking damnit WG.
Nobody wants to "fight" GW Es in their Tiger IIs.
Here, feast your eyes on the bullshit that is 'artillery hits me over everyone else, every single fucking time'

Anyone care to try reason why I was shot by arty and not to the two tanks sat with no cover at all? Note that shortly after I was hit, they were taking fire from some targets in the distance, so we were all spotted.
Tracking number on my tankie shirt has it in Indiana now. Hopefully I'll have that shit tomorrow.

Played competitive games most of my life, just decided to stop getting mad and just be like "well damn" and play again. If I am truly getting frustrated, then I stop playing, and do something else for a while.
I only start getting angry when my losing streak hits double digits.
which happens a lot

Normally this is a rational thought process. But imagine you're playing a competitive game like counter strike. You're defending the bomb site when suddenly someone catapults a bomb onto you from their spawn that makes your gun less accurate, makes you take 3x as long to reload, makes it so you can't see enemies unless they're point blank to you, and completely immobilizes you. Artillery is a blatantly broken and unfair game mechanic, you can't blame us for getting frustrated by it.

[quote]Victory!
Battle: Siegfried Line February 8, 2013 9:04:20 PM
Vehicle: M24 Chaffee
Experience received: 2,781 (x3 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 11,728
Battle Achievements: The Lion of Sinai[/quote]
100 IS's and their kin killed in my chaffee.
Something tells me artillery just has sensors that know when you hate them and they immediately target you. Highest tier arty I've played is tier 3, I feel to bad for the people I kill so I stop playing them.
Want to play that good ol Tier 2 that you had so much fun with and is elite?
Well fuck you, here's province and you get anally raped by 4 T18s and your team loses 15-2
