[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44895819]That means they have most of everything ready for [IMG]http://www.rctanksaustralia.com/images/brummbar/brummbar_02.jpg[/IMG] Gaijin pls[/QUOTE] Yes please! Would be a nice slap in the face for Wargaming too, bringing highly requested tanks like the Brumbar and Sturmtiger ingame before WG does it.
[QUOTE=Doom14;44895949]tankfu a shit I think you meant to post best bong[/QUOTE] My favourite part about British tank engineering is when they built a tank literally impervious to its rival early war German and Italiano tanks and then stuck a fucking rifle calibre machine gun on it.
I really REALLY want a Charioteer to be in the British tank destroyer tree. Just look at this sexy thing. [IMG_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Charioteer-latrun-2.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charioteer_tank_destroyer[/url]

[QUOTE=Azaz3l;44896256]Do you have like 2 crew members alive and every possible tank module damaged?[/QUOTE] Only the turret was black, don't remember about crew members.

Dear Diary: Today I saw my first blatant World of Tanks transfer. He tried to reverse-angle a T-34-57 by showing his side at an extreme angle. I hit his ammo rack. It was a good day.

[QUOTE=Orkel;44896605]Would be nice to know exactly just how overmatching works in WT. Angling your tank seems to be very.. not effective.[/QUOTE] I try to use real world angling and not comedy stuff. As in keep the front slightly angled for the better, but don't show off the sides. I never rely on my armor in this game, unless it way undertiers my KV-1. Also, finally - fucking done with Era II. Both nations, entirely aced up until. The grind cannot be halted.
[QUOTE=Why485;44893360]Oh believe me they did, but Gaijin doesn't really care. I still think the eras are decently sort of acceptably balanced, but for each era there's a standount tank that is either extremely bad or extremely good.[/QUOTE] I guess if we count balanced as "If I get behind this tank and can get a yellow cross on his weakest point of armor this is fair" then maybe, sure. But it's pretty silly to see a single KV-1 hunkered down on a capture point or overlooking one and seeing myself and 4 teammates all trying in vain to kill it when it can very easily one or two shot any of us due to how the damage model works in Ground Forces. The era 1 stuff sucks for sure, especially considering that is one of the few things WoT actually did really well (make the earlier tiers essentially everyone pens everyone so you always feel like you are contributing) but I'm just really tired of fighting KV tanks in tank games. These devs think its fair because Panzer III's fought KV-1's in real life so we have to have that in a video game despite the fact that tank battles in WoT/Ground Forces are nothing like an actual battle oh and also the fact that it's a fucking video game and fighting shit you have no hope against isn't fun. Or I guess it could just be me being irredeemably bad at this game. Planes is practically unplayable for me every time I try to play it because the way damage works is a complete mystery to me. I still think its far more fun than WoT which has all the things I hate WT for as well.
KV-2 already was my favorite tank in WoT, but after getting it today in WT it also became my favorite tank here. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CrSonEn.png[/IMG] Two tanks one 152mm.
KV1s are easy to kill. Esp in a panzer III. That 50mm is accurate enough to break its turret drive easy enough, and you can oneshot it through the turret in a couple locations.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CrSonEn.png[/IMG] Two tanks one 152mm.[/QUOTE] KV-2 is both the most fun and the most frustrating tank in the game. It seems like almost literally any hit to the front of my turret will damage my gun and even with a decent amount of points in repair the gun takes 2+ minutes to repair.
Purely hypothetically and theoretically if one were to invest money into this game, what should one invest that money into? Is premium good in this game? What are some premium tanks to get/avoid like the plague?
welp the event is broken in multiple ways. for ground forces there is no sb/rb multiplier which means I would have to kill as many tanks today as I have in my entire time playing ground forces.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;44896934]Purely hypothetically and theoretically if one were to invest money into this game, what should one invest that money into? Is premium good in this game? What are some premium tanks to get/avoid like the plague?[/QUOTE] Ace Advanced Pack on Steam is the best value for money way to get gold and the prems you get with it are great. Don't buy the ones that are 6k gold like a dipshit and just throw a talisman onto a vehicle (or a whole bunch of vehicles) that you like.

Dunno how much I'd use the planes though, that part of the game is basically locked away from me.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;44896934]Purely hypothetically and theoretically if one were to invest money into this game, what should one invest that money into? Is premium good in this game?

Premium tanks are kinda meh at this point. JagdPanther and SU-122P are fine but extremely overpriced. T34-57 mod.43 is good but not exactly easy. Avoid PzIII Ausf N at all cost. M4 German Herrman Sherman is great but expensive as fuck. Other than that things won't really grind you far.

Premium is the most important thing you can have. It makes the game extremely profitable even up into Era V, as long as you're not a dipshit.

The Jagdpanther could be fun but it is hilariously overpriced. Do talismans just turn any regular tank into a premium tank for RP farming purposes?
