[QUOTE=NuclearDwarf;34047374]aargh
anyone here been through the T-43?
do i bother getting the engine/tracks or do i just go straight for the T-44
I hate it already[/QUOTE]
Honestly the engine does make a bit of difference and I bought it just because Im OCD about maxing things out.
I dont really understand WHY, but I somehow seem to get 2-3 kills a round with the thing and actually have like a 65% win ratio in it. So I do reasonably well in it, but it IS a shitty tank that I hate.
I guess the matchmaker occasionally has mercy on the poor little tinderbox and gives you less-retarded teammates a bit more often.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;34048017]
THIS TANK. IT'S SO GOOD.
also 8 kills and the team still loses. World of Tanks.[/QUOTE]
Why I sold my Tiger II.. Can get lots of kills but your team still loses and usually end up losing or making fuck all money.

Heh, funny to read back some of the very early beta stuff. I was already annoyed by Artillery on the second page of V1, not much has changed :v:

My first post for this series is on page 13 of thread #1, I've been around that long.
:usa:
Just got out of a match in my IS3, was on the map with the railway on the east side, with a valley more east of it, and a city to the west. I Went city and had a typical brawl, when a 3001p started to cap on us and only a JagdPanzer was there defending, I rushed back and saved the JP at the last second. Me and the JP sniped a ferdi down and I got the kill, we then pushed down the rail tracks to their cap. On their team there was a T34, M4A3E8, M6, and a large russian Arty, can't remember which, and a Type 59.
We start our cap and the entire enemy team excluding the Type 59 shows up to stop us, I finish them all off without taking any damage from them. I notice our base is being capped so I rush back down the rail way towards it. About half way there I spot the type 59 and fire a blind shot at the little bit of his tracks that are exposed and it hit! As soon as I damaged him the cap hit 99 and drops back down. I finish him off for the win and get 9 kills, and 2.3k xp without doubles.
I fucking love this tank.
Yesterday marked my 1 year of playing WoT :v:

7.1 is tomorrow.
So I picked up a Panzerjager 1, I..I think I'm in love.
I got ignited twice in two matches one after another in my Tiger. I really need that new gun and turret. Right now, the Tiger is basically a slower, not even better armoured VK3601. This irks me.
I remember the days when we thought turning gold into credits instead of saving up to get a month of premium was a good idea. :v:

Man, back when playing artillery was FUN. Now it's just a chore, and that's not including the new counter-battery/tracer mechanics. Used to be great doing it... now I suck.
[editline]4th January 2012[/editline]
And the fucking matches! Those were fun, when you had one huge tank on your team, balanced accordingly by shitty lower tiers for them. It was a challenge taking that one tank on, but it could be done. Nowadays everyone has tier whatevers and matchmaking sucks.
[QUOTE]matchmaking sucks[/QUOTE]
Aww yeah new PanzerJager I! Wait, why am I being paired up against Marder II and higher? ONE SHOT! BOOM!
[QUOTE=Jax Strife;34050221]Aww yeah new PanzerJager I! Wait, why am I being paired up against Marder II and higher?[/QUOTE]
Welcome to World of Tanks, where nobody can hear you scream in agony as your shells bounce off the enemies' armor as they destroy your tank in a single hit.
[editline]4th January 2012[/editline]
also, Marder II is the last genuinely fun tank down the line, the others are all a chore to play
[QUOTE=Mastahamma;34050260]

StuG III is fun, Jagdpanzer IV sucks donkey dick, Jagdpanther is fun, Ferdinand is even more fun and the Jagdtiger is god tier.
RIP T95.
Now it needs escorts and shit.
They're good and comparatively fun for their tier, but the Marder is the last tank that you might still believe that you play WoT for fun and not to get rid of the detrimental effects of grinding withdrawal.
But they made the side armor stronger for the next patch?
Just had a match in my panther that brought back memories from the beta days.
It was looking to be a normal campinovka match but most of the team went for the hill, when we got up there we stumbled upon two enemy tigers.
I used my trusty ridiculous long gun for the panther and set both of the tigers on fire from a frontal shot, one of them two times.
So after I saw them slowly dying out to the fire I apologized to them both for setting them on fire,
knowing full well the horrors of having my tinderbox of a tiger getting set on fire back in the beta days.
Poor guys, on the positive side though it was my daily double and I got about 2k exp and made 20k profit.
The patch notes and balance changes, btw.

My T2 is ready
Im not sure if im going to like the multi round system for my pzII.
matchmaking has been nice to me in my T-43 so far actually
i guess tier 6 is the worst anyway
EDIT:
NOPE

So, guys, I have 10000 free exp, spontaneously ground by not spending it. Into which French tree should I dive? The top tier heavy seems like a medium anyway, so what's the actual difference?
I lack a proper medium, because... Patton is shit... so I guess I would go with these, but what's your thought on that?
I'm in a similar situation so I'm just gonna use my free XP to research modules and stuff on... well, whatever has an autoloader (probably both trees at once lmao)

The tier 7 light is crazy fun.
But overall the heavy tree is probably going to be more rewarding.
if they have such high penetration they should atleast tone down the ROF jesus.
