[QUOTE=Xbox;39267453]I've got 1500 gold that I got from a free code a few months ago. What should I do with it? Save it for later?
I just started playing again and the best tank I have so far is the M3 Lee. Just 1000 more xp and I'll have the M4
Edit: Bought the M4![/QUOTE]
I recommend saving the gold until there is a premium tank sale. I recommend either the Churchill 3 or the T14 when they go for 50% off.

Church III all the way
[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;39268034]Anyone else not hearing the 20 pounder gun sounds for the centurion? (gnomefather's gunsounds)[/QUOTE]
You're not alone, i can hear the shell fly though.
[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;39268034]Anyone else not hearing the 20 pounder gun sounds for the centurion? (gnomefather's gunsounds)[/QUOTE]
not sure what tank it was, but i saw some guns get fired without sounds before
Hmm, hopefully Gnomefather will sign into skype later so I can tell him he's ballsed it up
[QUOTE=Crumpet;39268075]Church III all the way[/QUOTE]
He should actually get the T14 if he wants to be able to actually move with the battle. And have more hull armor. And turret armor. And have a higher damage gun. And the ability to bully.
[quote]- the free camera mod was banned due to "game decisions" (SS: abuse), including the fact that players could watch for falling trees, destroyed objects etc. freely with such a mod
- second branch of German meds will not use the 88mm L/100 and 75mm Konisch guns
- it's possible visual upgrades for hangars will be introduced
- Chinese IS-2 has higher penetration values because of "late model shells"
[B]- the goal the devs want to reach regarding the arty balance is 3 arties per team on all tiers[/B]
- no plans to change the Object 261 gun model (SS: some player claims it was thicker in real life and it had a muzzle brake)
- no other tanks suitable for the role of tier 5 Chinese medium have been found (SS: actually Kuomintang was using Shermans too, but they weren't implemented, because they were completely stock, they'd be a direct copy of the existing Sherman without different guns etc.)
- SerB won't disclose how teamdamage points are exactly calculated (SS: not the damage itself, but how much of what you need to get banned - this is related to the issue that TOG players keep complaining that retards actually ram them intentionally and by damaging themselves, they actually cause the TOG player to accumulate teamdamage points)
- the asterisk in the TOG 2* name is historical
- superplatoons (5 members) won't be implemented, they would be too unbalanced
- snow on the maps (like it was in the hangar during the seasonal christmas hangar event) would reduce the performance too much, for now anyway
[B]- it's possible hitpoints will be modified for the historical battles, not yet sure[/B]
- regarding the Chinese tanks: the tier 10 heavy and medium vehicles' plans impressed SerB quite a lot, altogether these two projects roughly form an equivalent of the Soviet Object 167M (T-62B, the D-83 122mm version), the medium vehicle with its 122mm cannon and the heavy with its 68 degrees frontal armor - and all this despite the fact that the Chinese didn't know about the Soviet prototype research, they archieved it on their own (apparently, the frontal armor shape, similiar to the one of the IS-7, evolved from the IS-3 concept). Regarding the Chinese cast turret shape - there were other turrets, welded ones (to compensate for the low depression of the guns), but those came later, not in the 60's. There might even be a book about the Chinese tanks from WG. As for the T-62 similiarity, the Chinese acquired the T-62 first in 1969 during the Sino-Soviet border conflict at the Damanskij island.
- the turret rotation speed is a balance parameter, all tanks have it higher than they had in real life
- battletier of all non-premium tanks won't be lowered (SS: no idea why someone asked such a stupid question)
- SerB answers on the question how would an appearance of a T-54 tank company influence the war in 1942: "If they appeared in Ural (SS: where the factories were), positively - if they appeared on the front, German engineers could get a lot of ideas from them also"
- the armor value displayed in the tank statistics is the most characteristic one of the concerned part, usually it's also the thickest part
- tier 10 "121" does NOT equal WZ-121 aka Type 69, it's a different project and an early version at that (there is only a very weak connection between 121 and WZ-121)
- the T1E6 gun has a maximum range of 375mm (as far as SerB remembers)
- the dynamic tank naming is principially possible (but not sure to be implemented)
- it's possible that there will be a Soviet arty or TD based on the T-27 tankette implemented into the game
[B]- two-barreled tanks might be introduced into the game, it is theoretically easier to implement than multiturret designs, but also requires some work[/B]
- machineguns (as secondary weapons) won't be implemented because it would strain the server too much, however the Soviet 12,7mm DShK will appear as a main weapon at some point most likely
- it is not planned to introduce antiaircraft (and amphibious) tanks in forseeable future (SS: regarding the possible introduction of the T-90 AA light vehicle)
- elite Chi-Ha roughly corresponds to the Japanese Shinhoto Chi-Ha[/quote]

If you wanna plow through shit and drill away enemy's health with a shot every 1.9 seconds you should get the churchill. It has treads that eats shells but it is slow as Hell.
If you wanna be a bit faster and actually keep up with some teammates you can buy the T14. Gun does slightly more damage than the 6 lber the Churchill has and it has a benefit of sloped armor which has potential to bounce any tank in it's tier and above. It also has a gun mantlet that could suck up a 122mm shot.

Has a Churchill ever caused people to kill themselves rather than fight it?:

Ahh you see, he committed suicide because he couldn't take getting penned by that gun, it was too embarrassing
yes actually it has
many a tank has driven into my three churchills and died (un)gloriously

I'm actually really pleased that I upgraded the Tiger 2 instead of buying the VK4502 Ausf. A. I've been doing almost absurdly well with it the past few matches.

It's not a bad tank, it's just undergunned and under armored, but it's still got a big enough gun to make people hurt and enough armor to make low tiers cry with the right angling. Play it like a medium tank and you'll do well.

pretty much, but it gets the short 105 off the KT.

[QUOTE=Error_404;39266143]Is there any reason why the Type 59-16's guns are laughably underpowered? I mean, even compared to the AMX 12t, it has a really terrible gun.
What's its advantage? A really quick drum reload for the autoloader? A bigger drum capacity?[/QUOTE]

I know Orkel will disagree but you should probably stop while you're ahead and go down another tree. E-100 is god damn hard to play effectively and there are definitely better tanks. It took me a long time to get anywhere with it, and even then, it will never see the light of day in clan wars due to there being much more desirable tanks.
