Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? It's literally salt in the wound of "ha ha, fuck you, didn't roll that 0.3% chance. Enjoy more missions~"[/QUOTE]
I'm just waiting for them to screw it up even more and add a mission that's like "get x kills with a rank 5 tank from y nation", and completely screw over users who didn't manage to get it from the random drop chance.

If it's anything like the XF5F/TB-3 mission, they won't, because people would be livid.
Just like how I am right now, with every fucking thing I touch turning into an assist magically.

Speaking of assists, how exactly does the Assist/Kill system works? 'Cause a couple of days ago, me and another guy (Both in T-34s) came across a Panzer-something. I shoot first, and I destroy his suspension and gunner. He fires a second later, hits the engine and fuel and blows it up, yet I got the kill.
Realistic Battles, btw.

For some reason every time I set a tank on fire and someone kills it, I don't get an assist or a kill, so I'm pretty sure it's a bug (which i wish could be fixed sooner because it's been around for like more than a week)
The kill system is 110% fucked right now. I'm getting assists on people I ammorack and zero credit for someone I caught on fire three times - not even an assist.

SMK is the most funnest shit.
Is the T-28 bad or am I just bad?
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;46852505]Is the T-28 bad or am I just bad?[/QUOTE]
It's kinda bad. Which is sorta reflective of the fact it was shit in real life too.
It's only upside is an absurd power to weight ratio for a vehicle that big - because it's filled with air and ammo, which in turn makes it kinda durable. Key word: Kinda.
The gun is kinda decent if you don't get upranked too. Shrapnel rounds that pen obliterate shit. That said, it's best used as speedy Arcade trash because the gun has no velocity. Maybe it's good if you use it right in RB/SB - but I never bothered.

Lemme note, it did see a long series of attempted upgrades before they gave up. Including being lots of planned, but unfielded upgunning - and uparmoring to 80mm of frontal armor, at a massive speed cost (25kph.)
There are strings for a T-28E, which is basically the same as we have now, but with extra applique armor plates in response to the war with the Finnish.
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;46852505]Is the T-28 bad or am I just bad?[/QUOTE]
The T-28 has been and still is amazing in my experience, maybe it's how you're using it.
It usually fucks up everything on the first penetration.
Can't wait till they make the machine gun turrets usable.
[editline]4th January 2015[/editline]
8 more days... 8 more tasks, I wonder what kind of nonsense task Gaijin will think of.
I think my issue is rushing with it. I zoom into cover with all that speed get off like two shots resulting in kill assists before someone jams my turret ring and it all goes to fuck. I'm using the unlocked APHEBC round as well, if that helps.
I just want to finish this task so I can KV and SU-100 it up :(
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;46852505]Is the T-28 bad or am I just bad?[/QUOTE]
Know your penetration capabilities and enemy armor capabilities well as they are important
Load only the ammo you need
You are squishy, but agile
Use Shrapnel on tanks with ~30mm armor and APHE on everything else
As long as you can get the drop on someone and know that you're going to pen, you can generally fuck their shit up in one or two hits, but it's not a tank for extended front-line combat (more of an ambushy element of surprise play style due to its one-shot-kill capability / agility despite its size)
[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;46852505]Is the T-28 bad or am I just bad?[/QUOTE]
Is not a game-breaker even at Tier 1, but if you play it right you can do some heavy damage.
The enemy's pretty much done for if they get flanked by a competent T-28 with the right ammo. Extra points if it happens at close range. At Tier 1, a 75mm gun is letal, and it carries plenty of rounds too
Biggest downside if that, even if it's pretty agile, you [B]are[/B] a big target, so use plenty of cover and stay away from open areas.
Man I hate these jap planes
I am too far in to change now though.
[QUOTE=En-Guage;46853199]Man I hate these jap planes

I don't see how that is possible, you just start playing another nation and tadaaa. I played every nation since i started playing the game and now I have a jet in all of them but one, which is japan, and I was actually researching the japanese sabre before an update put some planes before it and i stopped playing because i always take extended breaks from games since I play so many different ones.
I've grinded biplanes so hard on diff accs that the thought of flying them again for a number of games makes me feel sick
PzII Ausf H makes the light tank challenge so easy and enjoyable
I hate the Panzer IV sometimes
Get hit once, you're a sitting duck and you're fucked if an enemy is near you
Finally got the KV and holy shit is it good to sit on a hill and actually fucking pen people.
[QUOTE=Crash155;46854064]Sekrit Russian intangible armor )))[/QUOTE]
is of balance)))))
I've the last recent couple of days experienced, that when shooting at tanks, that despite animations, sounds an all the effects, the shot was never made. And i can shoot the same instant after the first "ghost" shot, which now seems to be the real one.
IS-1 is pure hell
Hmph, after exam I have on 6th Jan, I will have some free time, and the challenges last till 11th... I might possibly try to do a turbonerd sprint for it.

Is the shot thing at the top right an option somewhere?
[QUOTE=kenji;46854865]Is the shot thing at the top right an option somewhere?[/QUOTE]
Yes, in settings. But it should be on by default I think?
Might just be a new feature, i just don't play tanks much, glad to see it, makes it much more intresting getting a kill, would love that for air.

My dear Awesomecaek, if I can turbonerde through 22 fucking challenges in two days and somehow repress the urge to [I]murder[/I] due to viewing the "Maybe you'll get lucky soon!" message 22 times - so can you.
Most of the challenges are kinda easy. So far,
[B]Favorites:[/B]
#2, 40 Kills via T-28, T-35, or SMK (SMK is fucking insane. Easy 8+ kills a match.)
#4, 30 Ground Units via Ju 87 (Extreme easy, done in two or three easy matches?)
#7, 30 Air Kills vias Yaks (9T + 9K + 3 = average of 20 kills per 'cade match.)
#8, Win five air/tank battles, 50% activity (You'll just get this over time anyways.)
#9, 5 kills with reserve plane/tank (Sealclub.)
#11, 30 Air Kills via Ki Fighters (Loaded up on Ki-45s and it was over somewhat fast.)
#12 looks really easy for both.
[B]Fucking Kill Me 's:[/B]
I didn't have much issue with the air stuff, sans some bad luck. In 'cade, it's easy for me to get 5-20 kills a match. However, the 40 kills with Soviet Tank Destroyers was pure fucking suffering. You can't make a good 'cade line-up for them that works well, and I don't own the SU-100 or SU-122P. I found the easiest was to load up on both the SU-152, and SU-122, and throw in a SU-85 if you want. I still had lots of bad luck and made me want to strangle things because it took 3x longer than it should have. It really helps that planes aren't restricted to three vehicles a match.
Some tank shit you can easily combine:
#4 , 40 Kills via US Era 1; #11 40 kills via Light Tanks; #9, 5 kills while driving reserve tanks.
#6, 40 kills via German Mediums; #3, 40 kills via Panzer IV; #10, 40 kills via Pz III
Final note to the damned: When they mention a series of plane or tank, that includes the premiums, even from other countries. You can get the 40 KV kills on the capture German one. You can get the 40 Pz III kills on the T-III (if you don't want to combine it). Etc, etc.

I'm only interested in this for the gold aspect. Not even 1M silver is that appetizing anymore when I sit on a perpetual pool of 2-6M.
Thanks for all the help with the T-28, you guys are the best :*
I like how they're acknowledging their vagueness with regards to release dates by trademarking the word "soon".
