[QUOTE=Saza;39565830]nothing can go wrong[/QUOTE]
Only two cuntinghams on our team disabled, And the rest of the enemy team is literally burning piles of metal.
Victory.
think I'll stop playing for a few days, until everyone has used up their gold ammo
[QUOTE=Skwee;39558123]I've got 9k gold to blow on a tank, advise me oh wise tank players (already have a t8 premium [T34]) What is a super awesome fun time gold tank[/QUOTE]
test server is supposedly about to go up, I'd wait and then buy some tanks on there to test run them
SU-122-44, T2 light, churchbrick, TOG 2 if you can handle going slow, and maybe the SU 100Y in 8.4 are the ones i'd recommend
Yeah I bought the SU-122-44, since I kind of was biased towards wanting to get a TD

It's that beautiful D25T with a 7 second reload that makes it, you will get some nice bounces if you get top tier
sweet traverse speed too

The SU-122-44 wouldn't fit the description tank destroyer.
Tank annihilator, devastator or something like that.
[QUOTE]Tankers!
In order to bridge the gap between World of Tanks' gaming communities, previously separated by geographic boundaries, Wargaming is breaking into the global competitive gaming with a 2.5 million dollar prize pool for the 2013 season!
The new league is currently scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2013, and will adopt the format of traditional competitive gaming by way of regular regional tourneys and playoffs leading up to a Grand Finals. Wargaming's Global eSports Director, Jonghyuk Baak, has this to say about the development of the Wargaming.net League:
"The scale and popularity of competitive gaming has been skyrocketing over the last couple of years, and we have now reached the point where we can focus significant effort on advancing World of Tanks on to the global eSports scene. Wargaming.net League is a groundbreaking step in our quest to bring the game’s eSports potential into the international spotlight.”
World of Tanks successfully debuted as an eSports discipline at the WCG 2012 Grand finals in Kunshan, China. Andrei Yrantsau, VP of Global Operation at Wargaming says the following about the development of the new eSports League:
“Now we have a sustainable tool to broaden our global eSports involvement in an unprecedented way: stimulate the growth of the competitive community, organize bigger and better tournaments with larger prize pools than ever, and provide our best pro gamers with completely viable career opportunities.”
With the release of this news, expect to see an explosion in the number of high-level teams. It'll now be entirely possible to become a highly paid World of Tanks player--that is, if you've got what it takes to win![/QUOTE]

Heck, today, tier 8 battle, only my platoon and one other guy got over 1000 damage. Most of the team had either a little under 500 damage, or none (we lost).
[quote]- Q: "Tanks such as Maus are dying off in randoms!" A: "We'll all die one day. Enough with the whining already, we can give you time off from the forums for healing your nerves" (SS: ....followed by RO ban)
- exact values of hidden parameters are not made public "to avoid whining" - their changes are however still written in patch notes
- a player complained that he hears "turret damaged" voice message on his Object 263, which has no turret - SerB answers that it's not a turret that got damaged, rather than the gun traverse mechanism (its engine), which is found in all turretless TDs
- the oldest running tank the developers drove in real life was Panzer IV (Pasholok), the newest was M48 Patton (Kisliy)
- only the VK3601 will have the Konisch gun in the future
- the unlockable various hulls (as modules) won't come anytime soon
- SerB states that the materials from Chinese partners, provided on Chinese vehicles did contain various machines, unfit to be implemented into WoT, but interesting nonetheless
- players won't be notified further in advance (SS: for example during loading screen) on which base they will appear, SerB states that the countdown time is enough
[B]- arty won't get flatter shell trajectory
- T23 "was not sent to the graveyard"[/B]
- Vickers Light Tank Mk.VI was not introduced as tier 1, because Vickers Medium seemed better for the role because it was "logical engineering-wise"
- confirmed there will be no LT hardcap
[B]- devs are generally satistfied with the T-54, but if the big re-work of all tanks happens, it'll get a massive overhaul[/B]
- S-Tank will not be introduced into the game, because it would require the implementation a very special aiming game mechanism, SerB states that it aimed by moving the entire vehicle, that would be very awkward in the game and he doesn't think it's worth implementing because of one tank only
- The Chinese IS-2 is called IS-2 and not JS-2 (SS: In Russian Iosif Stalin is written with J) as the Soviets wrote it, because the "I" version is a generally recognised version world-wide
- SerB states that a lot of the Chinese competition winners had crews with 4 skills on the start from the Type 59
- confirmed: Leopard and VK2801 won't get buffed (SS: apart from the HP? unclear) when they are pushed one tier higher, nothing will change for them
Japanese tanks answers:
- SerB states that the vehicle designated Type 5 "Tok" is a 300mm mortar, analogical to the Type 4 Ha-To, based on the Type 4 Chi-Ri or Type 5 Chi-Ri hull
- about the guns bigger than 105mm installed on the Ho-Ri chassis: "Most likely a 120mm naval gun. There were projects with 140mm gun, passed from the fleet to the coastal defense, but I do not have accurate data yet"
- O-I project was allegedly designed with other guns that came earlier than the 105mm: "We don't have any data on that yet. It's possible a 150mm howitzer was considered earlier, because on the early project of colonel Iwakuro this gun is mentioned specifically"
- SerB states that the Type 96 heavy is possibly the Iwakuro tank
[B]- the "visible modules" (SS: for example different tracks in winter) are considered for the "big model overhaul", but no info yet[/B]
- hitting a turret rotation mechanism won't cause fires
- it's completely possible that in next patches, the same thing as happens to the German light tanks in 8.4 will happen to the light tanks of the other nations (eg. T-50, Chaffee and others getting pushed one tier up)
- Q: "Will there be inmplemented powerful derp vehicles on top tiers?" A:"E100"
- the rangefinder and other more modern features are not implemented separately, they reflect in the view range and gun accuracy
- purely Swedish branch of the EU tree is unlikely, SerB states it's logical to tie it to the Czech one[/quote]
Yeah I even have 2k gold left. Could still get the t14 or church III

great rebalancing wargaming

Hopes deleted.
The 2801 will still be good, but the fucking leopard is outmatched by the t-50, and does NOT match up to chaffee, t-50-2, or ELC
Shit i'd even say the M7 or even crusader are better than the leopard. Better pen, speed, damage, and most importantly matchmaking. Leopard is just a joke at this point
my merge
tfw no gold
But in other news: Is Tier 6 usually retarded when it comes to MM? Keep getting bottom of the list against Tier 8, and I'd like to survive a match without being a campy turd.
[QUOTE=Skwee;39567122]Yeah I even have 2k gold left. Could still get the t14 or church III[/QUOTE]
Well, it depends.
If you want a fast heavy tank made for breakthroughs, generally impenetrable from all angles, but inaccurate and somewhat low penetration on its gun? Get the T14
Do you want an easy-mode, slow-going, machine gun-wielding battleship on treads? Get the Churchill.

No, tier 6 has some of the best matchmaking, only beat by tier 5. Most matches are 6/7 where you're always a force, and only 33% should be tier 8. you're probably on the US server where pop is low, so you get shittier MM.

How exactly did you come to this conclusion
Sometimes I just cant get my head around how terrible wargaming is at listening.
[QUOTE=scout1;39567540]How exactly did you come to this conclusion[/QUOTE]
Because the assignment of the battle tier is random. For example in tier 6, it's a 33% chance whether you'll be in tier 6, 7 or 8 battle.
More pop means more tanks near your tier and the matches won't often be you as the only tier 6 versus a team full of 8s etc.
Company battles in half an hour, more practice ones.
lol get in match on el halluf on my su-122-44, we have a platoon of 3 dudes on my team, and their type 59 stops in one of the only td spots on our side (south spawn) I didnt know he was going to stop so I accidentaly ram him (for 10 damage). I tell him to gtfo of the td spot. then his gay-squad teamkills me. i laff
[t]http://puu.sh/21FXw[/t]
Was also my double xp win.
I got the church III too, pretty fun tank.
And so, on Febuary 12th at 9:00 PM, with 11,079 battles, I have ended my peasant grind.
