[MMO] World of Tanks

[datalink7]

I'm making the best use out of that bonus stuff. Completed T69 today, 34k XP or so and now working on T95. Down to 24k XP from 45k'ish XP. I'll have T95 done this weekend. Not a keeper for me sadly. 49% winrate on it but I'm a front line attacer not a camper in it.

T110E3 is awesome. I actually liked the T95 ok for a while (have 600 games in it) but not it annoys me. I think I got better at the game and it feels more restrictive now than it used to. Haven't played it in a while, but the T110E3 is something I still like to take out. Great tank. Maybe the best frontal assault vehicle in the game.

I'M DONE! HA HA.

Now do I wait for 10% or not... Makes the 4th tier 10 tank I need and 1 Tier 9. Anyone has 28 million credits I can have? Eww.. need equipment, crew changes... (sigh).

I really do look forward to that T110E3, small weak spots and I hope many don't know the coupla one. I'll find out soon enough.

Nice!

I just recently finished a game in my E3. Took 22 hits, no pens. Was fighting 2 x JPE100, FB215b (the heavy tank), an M103, an IS8 and a T54. Was just me and a T57 Heavy, and we beat them all, mostly because I bounced everything. About 8k damage bounced.

I only took damage when Artillery finally turned its attention to me, but by then it was too late. Also did 5k damage (the gun on the E3 is solid. Not the most amazing gun ever, but it is certainly nothing to complain about).

There really is no glaring weakspot on the tank on the front, which is what I love. The big cupola on top isn't a weak spot, but it draws fire because people think it is. The lower plate in parts are weak, but if you are off by a little bit the lower plate can actually be 300+mm of effective thickness. The small cupola to the left front (looking at it) is weak, but it's a small target easily missed.

Something else that people don't realize is that it has 8 degrees of gun depression. This is amazing!

Arty is its bane though. Really weak top means you take all kinds of damage from artillery.

You know, you're not making it easy for me to hold off on buying this guy.

I was about to say the gun is the "same" as T30 and T95 but the T110E3 has a bit more penetration it. Either way, I think the gun is a bit less trollish than the Russian BL-10, bit more accuracy?

Eh, looking stat wise, not much better. BL-10 0.39 vs 0.38 (T95) or 0.36 (T110E3).

9.2M in bank... sell T69... T95... Can do... I'll do it tomorrow...

The gun ends up performing a lot better than the T30/T95 gun. Doesn't have the ghost shell problem for one.

Fires a LOT faster (~500 more DPM).
More Pen (295 on regular rounds and an insane 375 on the APCR... and they are APCR so won't get eaten by tracks or spaced armor)
Has better accuracy
Has better aim time
Most of the hidden accuracy stats are vastly improved as well (it is, for instance, about 40% more accurate on the move at full speed than the T30)

Sucks if you buy it and next weekend there is a sale... but who knows when it will be on sale?

Note that on open maps with a lot of arty it sucks because it is too slow and too weak top armor. But when you aren't faced with arty, or on city maps where you can hide from arty, it is a lot of fun.

 

[microAmp]

Yeah, bought it last night, ha ha ha. Had some "good" games in it.

Played my 7th game just now, Lakeville. Started on North side of map and I went to city and stayed towards Eastern edge. 6k damage, 4k blocked. Only died because I ran out of teamates and 4vs1 isn't going to go well. When you there is a dead loader then 2nd loader dies.

Last night on Swamp, 5.1k damage and LOL... 7.3k blocked. Though all that was an IS-7, IS-8 and whoever else shooting 300m away. I didn't go down until... all my teamates died out. Got swarmed.

Yeah... I'm gonna love this tank.

Bad thing, my T95 crew had BiA, the extra loader on here made me lose it.

Can't win a game to day in T110E3 Overall, 2/12 so far (ugh)

 

[stag3]

hmm i wasted a bunch of gold converting free xp, i can now get all the way to the t95, but that grind has to be forever to get the e3 no?

i also don't have a crew hahaha oh well.

you guys try winter mode yet? it's awesome for crew training, i started last night for about 60 games, and am at 80% on my 2nd skill now, and made about 200k free xp and 1.X million credits

Yeah I can't stand winter mode. Won't play it. Sounds nice for training but not worth it to me as it is less than zero fun. It's negative fun

edit: By the way, to save some free XP, I might recommend starting at the Jackson. The Jackson is a solid vehicle (basically a slow hellcat but can actually bounce same tier and lower... just snipe from range. Still same great gun). Then grind through the T25 AT. That isn't bad either, once you get the top stuff unlocked. Pretty decent camo and mobility. Nice long range sniper, and good at bullying lower tiers due to the slope of its armor.

Then, skip T28 for sure. This thing is like a T95 without any redeeming qualities (the T95 at least has some). Worst vehicle in the game that I've played.

Then you can decide on T95. I played 600 games in it for some reason. I think because I wasn't very good at the game at the time. Now it just annoys me, since I'm better, and can't stand its inflexibility. That being said, it's a boss in those games where it is one of the few Tier IX's and there is little to no artillery.

But doing Jackson and T25 AT will save you Free XP, and they aren't bad vehicles at all (I think the Jackson is quite good actually, though I never got the Hellcat).

 

[Possessed Freak]

It is boring as hell after the first dozen or so games. Platoon with some good people, go one way, brawl it out. Win or Lose doesn't matter. Just get damage in, 4k exp and a bunch of credits. Rinse, repeat. But I did use that EXP and convert at a bonus this weekend. That was nice.

oh i'd be at the t28 regardless as i did the e4 grind so i need to waste 71k to get the t28 from the t28proto and whatever it is 150k ish for the t95?

so i'd start at the t95 with a noob crew, what sucks is i'd need a 2nd loader when i hit the e3.... wtf gay

they need to let us change crew roles already, i have like 6-7 3+ skilled radio men waiting to change roles!!!!

 

[Creig]

Got the STUG IV and am nearly to the T28 HTC. Some of these missions are incredibly difficult to complete. I can't even imagine what they'll be like should I make it all the way to the Object 260 missions.

Looks like 9.6 will let you do the crew change... for 500 gold.

500 too much. Should be a silver option with a training loss. Nevermind the fact that you have to retrain skills ANYWAY.

 

[stag3]

wow 500g, holy shit

 

[Fallen Kell]

And yet, I still wasn't top tank/exp in the battle....

 

[Silverforce11]

WoT is pissing me off this past year because I want server transfer options and they said it would happen, then said it would not... I've moved around due to work reasons, so I've got pretty decent accounts on USA & EU servers but now I'm in Australia for the foreseeable future, I've had to start a new fresh account due to poor lag to those overseas servers half the world away.

It sucks donkey to start afresh and go through the horrid stock grinds..

 

[Possessed Freak]

Ah, the problem with sniping. Half your exp goes to the scouts that lit them. The VK was probably up close and personal for those damage shots.

Normally I would have agreed with you except for the fact that no one spotted for me on any of those except the AMX13-90! I solo killed the E-50 (caught him in the open attempting to cap our base), self spotted and killed the JgTig.8.8 (trading shots with him), self spotted and shot the pershing, self spotted and shot the E75, and killed the panther on my own (it was just the VK and me at the end (against the panther and AMX13-90) and the panther started capping our base, and I was closer and turned immediately around to defend. The VK watched my ass because AMX13-90 was still alive, and stayed on the main center road (about 1/4 to their base), while I made the turn back at our base to aim at the panther who haulled ass back to city because the AMX13-90 spotted me coming to defend, and I killed the panther after spotting it, and the VK killed the AMX13-90 who came out from the fields/houses to try and get behind me for the kill (not knowing the VK was coving my ass)).

 

[Silverforce11]

There's a bonus XP for close range fighting (it's been there for a long time, hidden). Note the shots/damage beyond 300m.

 

[Tsavo]

I just started playing this.

Why Oh Why Did I Pick The M3 Lee.

 

[Silverforce11]

I just started playing this.

Why Oh Why Did I Pick The M3 Lee.

Some tanks were just made to fail IRL as well as in WoT.

The M3 Lee can be good, but its just not very fun to play. It's a TD without the profile or camo.

The T1 & M4 are quite good for their tier, then the M6 is one of the best t6 Heavy, followed by the T29, the best t7 Heavy.

 

[datalink7]

I just started playing this.

Why Oh Why Did I Pick The M3 Lee.

Yeah, the M3 Lee is pretty bad. Just get through it as fast as possible. Like already mentioned, the M6 is awesome and the T29 is the best Tier VII heavy in the game, so good things are to come

 

[stag3]

ugh why no 1mos or 6mos premium discount
only the 1-7 day crap...my prem just ran out
but i'll wait for a sale and just lose credits for now haha

I think my first ever top gun was in the M3 Lee in the right game. It's not an easy tank to do well, there's a cliché, play it like it's a td - stay in the back and snipe. You'll get the t1 soon.
