the 105 sherman is huge fun
[QUOTE=mecaguy03;46732759]I actually really like the M2A4, more than I did the russian or german reserves. GOTTA GO FAST[/QUOTE] the T-26 fully upgraded is also pretty damn fast Tier 1 americans feel like the middle ground between Soviet and German tanks
[QUOTE=mastfire;46735991]no because if you chose SB there are flags under tank battle sim[/QUOTE] What?
US tanks are fun :v: [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/32980569761560098/C227B791022616F0C4307B7FB8CF2241B3347E82/[/t]
[QUOTE=mastfire;46735991]no because if you chose SB there are flags under tank battle sim[/QUOTE] Well eventually American tanks are going to appear in SB as well.

So, given that the ruble is currently crashing like a G8N1 with mild aileron damage, good time to buy glod through the russian store? :v: [editline]17th December 2014[/editline] For example, you can currently buy 1000 geagles for a whooping 4.2 dollars. top fucking kek.
How do you buy from the Russian store?
go to warthunder.ru and proceed from there. If your store is in slavrunes you're doing it right.
Are there any packs you chaps recommend getting currently?
Every time I go to Gold Eagles it redirects me to the American shop

All these pictures of your tanks make me realize I have no artistic imagination because this is the best I can do: [T]http://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/3/2074/2014-12-17_00001.jpg[/T]
[QUOTE=Destroyox;46739364]Every time I go to Gold Eagles it redirects me to the American shop[/QUOTE] Really? Because if I go to the RU store (prices in rubles), then click the paypal checkout, my total is in rubles all the way through. Try that.
I love the M3 Lee so much, it reminds me of a Baneblade.
I can't find the US tanks anywhere on the RU store, and the news article about them ([url]https://online.gaijin.ru/news.php?title=us_tank_packs_issue[/url]) just links to the non-RU store. Sneaky.

So, this is gonna sound really stupid of me, but there's not a whole lot of documentation on it so Ima ask here: How do you actually "use" the tow cable? If there's a tank requesting assistance, I drive up to them and press the tow cable key, but then what? Do I aim at the tank and left click? I'm afraid to do that in-game for fear of shooting the other tank.
God damn just wrecked some shit in the Lee. [t]http://i.minus.com/iPQbf4FXt6nTp.jpg[/t] This tank can deal some damage if you know where the enemy is coming from and have both cannons ready for it, also having the APC shells for both cannons unlocked. Sucks we didn't win but still one of my best tank matches.

Sucks we didn't win but still one of my best tank matches.[/QUOTE] The Lee has potential to wreck shit, the issue I've been having is managing the two cannons. Switching between them is a pain due to them not aiming together (if you aim the 37mm then switch to the 75mm it will jump to wherever you aimed the 75mm last, which is quite disorienting), and I can't fire both at the same time since the drop is different (and as far as I know, aiming both will not compensate for the drop difference).
Holy shit the M4A3E2 is confirmed infinitely better than the M6A1. I had 5 enemy tanks around me and I couldn't shoot because the gun was knocked out. There was a T-34-57 and a PzIV G behind me that for some reason had loads of trouble penning my rear and I had a T-34-85, SU-122 and another PzIV completely failing to pen the front from <100m away. You also get points for damage taken as well, so from those guys shooting me for about a minute I had 2k score without shooting anyone once, literally the best.
Killed 7 tanks in one game with the starting american tank, holy shit is it good. It shits on the starting Russian and German tanks

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;46741075]Press 0 to activate it, aim at the tank to tow, press 0 again to attach, then press 0 again to detach[/QUOTE] Thanks. Is this process the same for repair assistance?
[QUOTE=MrWhite;46741481]Thanks. Is this process the same for repair assistance?[/QUOTE] That, I don't know. I never had the occasion to try that. And I found no control key for that specific purpuse
I suspect the Sherman with the 105mm Howitzer (The HVSS Breakthrough tank) is going to get nerfed in some way, maybe via a battle rank increase - Despite the long reload time, it utterly wrecks the opposition if you land a hit on them. I've been one-shotting so many things and I'm by no means a good player. [editline]18th December 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=MrWhite;46741481]Thanks. Is this process the same for repair assistance?[/QUOTE] Not quite. Repair assistance seems to kick in automatically if you start repairing, nearby tanks that are stationary are prompted to press a key (Default bind seems to be 'U' from the broken pop up I get for it) to go stationary and help.
So far, when driving the american tanks. I've found out, that in order to brake efficiently. You find the nearest tree and say goodbye to your driver and suspension. What even is brakes.

Has any of you managed to get into the russian store? I can get to the russian site but whenever I go to the store itself all items are priced in dollars instead of ruble, even when using a russian vpn.
