I don't understand the CARB spawn system at all. I get 2 kills in my SMK and I can't even fly a fighter afterwards. Round after that, I dick around and get maybe an assist, BOOM 1000 points enjoy not having to quit and get crewlocked.

You get points for a lot of stuff that isn't kills, for starters, just being nearby enemies, but also for [I]taking[/I] hits, being there to spot enemies for airplanes, stuff like that.

Critting a tank 5 times and then having someone else take the kill gives more RP than ammoracking it with a single round as well, I am quite sure.
Looks like you can no longer grind for the m8 achievements. I was only 12 kills shy of the thing too. That's like ~100 hours of grinding I went through with nothing to show for it. Can't really describe how I feel right now, but I think I'm done with WT for a while.

When it goes on sale in the store, buy it and then hit yourself in the head with a hammer until you forget doing so. You'll feel just like you would if you unlocked it through the achievements, and I bet the headache won't be as bad :v:

I know how you feel.
I'm at 16/20.
Played today to catch up on last achievement, In first battle I managed to get +6 points (10 -> 16), Second battle was additional 8 points, I was happy with it as I would finish that damn achievement already... it was too late, last battle was over the time limit.
Whole grinding went for nothing.
just got my first tiger
I think I'm in love holy shit
KV-2 is great fun so far, but should I be using HE or AP?
[QUOTE=paindoc;46912167]KV-2 is great fun so far, but should I be using HE or AP?[/QUOTE]
HE
Actually, the AP rounds don't do too terribly if you can score a direct hit. But as a safety, load the "What, I missed and hit the building just left of you? Too bad, killed your crew anyway!" rounds.

I've been lucky with the AP rounds actually. Usually pens without issues and causes a fiesta of shrapnel inside enemy tanks. There are some random moments where the shell gets eaten and does no damage at all.
I'll keep it half and half then, 18 shells is still like 10 minutes of shooting things

There's been some games where I kill several tanks in a row, and then realize on my first bounce that I forgot to switch to HE. :v:
With howitzers, HE is always a first safe bet. Aim for the lower turret and you're likely to break the gun and spall into the crew compartments. Then switch to HEAT if you want to target [I]the remains.[/I]

KV-2 doesn't [del]get[/del] need HEAT.
what the point of HE rounds other than unarmored targets. do bigger tank's he rounds work magic or something?

HE rounds are pretty much useless against anything but halftracks and trucks unless you're using a legit howitzer.
Basically, if it doesn't say "152" on the tin, or it's not the Su-122 or M4A3 105 Sherman - don't bother. On small cannons/auto-cannons, HE is good for planes. Historically, it was for light targets/infantry which we don't have a whole lot of right now.
I wish I could play only on Kuban, Ash River and Eastern Europe.
Maps like Mozdok or Kursk are god awful.
White Fortress is only good when the fight is in the fortress.

as far as I know more explosives = bigger boom. Also I think the effect is multiplicative rather than additive, so it increases more than you might think
just got in a fight with a KV-1 as a KV-1. 2 minutes of rounds bouncing off doing nothing. the only thing i did was destroy his barrel. At the end a TD came up and blew him open. Most anticlimactic fight in my life.

I miss the good days when the only way to beat a kv-1 while driving a kv-1 was to ram that fucker and flip him onto his side
