[QUOTE=dreukrag;46741837]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.[/QUOTE]
I am not keen on spreading this info too intensively because if people keep doing it, gaijin will work harder on patching it up, but I found success somewhere between working in a Private Window (so, no cookies) and disabling scripts.
How does the Spawn Points system work in realistic tanks mode? It seems arbitrary as fuck; sometimes I'll damage someone pretty bad and not have enough points to respawn, while other times I'll accomplish nothing and have 3 respawns.
This is with the starter US tank.
Do I have to buy one of the premium us tanks in order to progress to the second era?

Only until it comes out of resting.

no, you just get it 'unlocked' sooner.
Is there any reason aside from not being done yet that most tanks like the T-34s and Panzer IVs don't have their coaxial machineguns? If it's just that they're not done yet it's not that big of a deal, I'm just curious.

I think the T-34-85s have them dont they?
But yeah for the rest they just arent done yet
It's probably because it's low tier so I don't care as much but I'm having so much fun with arcade US tanks. They're so zippy it's been so long since I play that all these new fangled arcade mechanics like bombers and short air battles are really neat and novel.
It probably gets a lot worse as you go up in the tree but for now it's great.
was there any word on all the machine guns being enabled on certain tanks?
I know some tanks don't let you use the bow gun, etc etc
i don't think any hull MGs are functional yet besides the M2M's sponsons
I always try to clear as many trees as possible with the LMG on the tanks so that it's less shit blocking the view for others. It's strangely satisfying
so finally found myself playing tanks for the first time, admittedly arcade because I'm a massive scrub but I've been having a lot of fun with it so far
aside from the fact that the man who makes us research parts and FPE needs to be dragged out into the street and flogged
though, I do have a question, because I seem to be getting ridiculously huge scores without actually doing all that much, is there an actual correlation or is it just arbitrary? Because I seem to get points just for existing as it stands right now
I really wish the game would give me the new maps, I've only gotten to play them a total of 3 times, the rest of the time I just get Karelia and Jungle.
I think they have figured out the fortress to be just buggy and are working on fixing it, I got Eastern Europe a ton of times already, tho.
Is there still no way to switch the default shell type? That's twice now I've been killed because it defaults to HE.
[editline]18th December 2014[/editline]
Actually, is there any reason to ever fire HE? Is it good for anything?
[editline]18th December 2014[/editline]
Make that three times now. I'm going to just get rid of the damn things.

Big guns like the kv2 and su-122 are good with HE but that is probably it

Its good for taking out thin skinned AA vehicles, better than AP in fact (AP usually just passes through).
Also can be kind of nice for taking out the soft targets (arty/AAA positions) on Kursk.
I remember using HE with the short 75(?) mm on the early german tanks, I fired the rounds at the ground underneath of t-34s to blow them up from below, it was p. sweet and damn satisfying when it worked.

The fucking fences that were around C on Poland that you can't spot through for whatever reason can be knocked over with MG (thank god)

As counter-intuitive (or even practically secret) it is, you can reorder them in the Test Drive setup and bafflingly, the order there sticks in normal games for the particular vehicle, forever. (You don't even have to enter the test drive match, just set the order in the setup and you are good).

1:08 they are using a battery of 105mm shermans as artillery lol
Bought the SMK.
So far all my deaths have resulted in me being the last one, surrounded by a bunch of 105 shermans trying to kill me for 5 minutes while trying to shoot their gun barrels.
SMK is hilarious.
Oh god the sherman artillery in the video
Any way to separately aim the front turret on the Lee?
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46746440]Any way to separately aim the front turret on the Lee?[/QUOTE]
Bind a key to the "select secondary gun" command
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46746440]Any way to separately aim the front turret on the Lee?[/QUOTE]
You can bind keys currently to swap between "Primary Gun" "Secondary Gun(s)" and "Machine Gun(s)" or "All Guns"
If you select one of the first three, you lose control over the others, which is kinda frustrating. However, it's vital on the Lee for proper aiming/convergence, and the T-35 to engage anything at a distance beyond ass-piss.

Some stuart douchebaggery.
Y'know, is really fun to cripple an american tank with a well-placed soviet 75mm AP to the rear, then slowly aproach them while they fire their 37mm and machine guns at you, into your frontal armor...and watch their rounds bounce harmlessly.
You can [I]smell[/I] the fear.
friend of mine just hit a P47 with a 105mm
