Pretty fun tank especially in a platoon,got me and one of my buddies one.Liked it enough during the rental to grab it.Got my first MOE and 2 Ace Tanker medals i think?

Much more fun then my T-34-3 which i recently got back,i rage sold that thing quite some time ago and just reimbursed customer support 2.2 million and got it back recently.The depression buff is nice,but another tank i really enjoy in a platoon with something like a FCM or other medium to cover my reloads.🙂
 
Forgive me fellow players. After 6500 games i've finally become a mouth breathing, scumbag clicker. I don't even have to tell you, you already know right? I finally decided that if I ever want to finish the personal missions, I better start playing arty. I never went past tier 3 in any line, but i've always wanted to try my hand at Bert. Not at the 304 yet, but I just started playing the Bishop. I love that thing. Only 40 games in and i've been called a cheater 4 times 🙂 Are there any other lines like this? fast firing high arc? Their rage sustains me and i must have more.

You don't need to play arty to get the special tanks in the Personal Missons. But you do need to play them if you want the 5th girl crew. There is also the benefits of getting stuff for completion, credits, Free XP, etc.

Each line has their strengths, even at different tiers. FV304 will be the last fast shooter. They all start to slow down quite a bit.

French line would be the fastest at 25s-30s, when getting to tier 7+ on up; low alpha damage though.
Russian at S-51 203mm gun is 50s but huge alpha.
German tier 8 is 48s thereabouts, tier 9 is 42?
USA mid 40's at tier 8 and 9.
I have a FV207 also but don't remember... 35-45 my bet.

You can use: http://tanks.gg/wot/compare
To compare equal tiers to get an idea of how fast they shoot compared to the others.

LOL, welcome to arty. One fun troll arty if the French tier 4 premium, when you can get one.

Off the top of my head hard to think of others like you describe.

Others are tier 10 such as the batchat with autoloader, or the Conqueror GC that has an especially high arc to hit behind cover. Most arty are more 'typical'.

They said brake turning is not for TD's or arty, so surprising your JT has it.

It works on any tank from what I have seen. It just has varying degrees of effectiveness. Bigger tanks certainly don't drift like a light would, but it can get you turned around faster.

I had heard that if you complete the other 4 with honors you can skip one class? I do want the crew though. Got them in my american light line, so i need the 5th one. Don't really care about the stug iv. I wish they would have made the female crew compatible with BIA

Yeah, heard that too but I can't find anything concrete about that. Only a special badge. :/

I got the T-55A and others by just completing LT, MT, HT, and TD missions without honors.

Ah... think I see, it. There use to be tokens for completing missions and if you did honors you get an extra token to bypass one class. Seems like they changed that.

Get an M44 and load heat in tier 8+ matches and finish SP14 and 15 in no time.

I did SP 8 -15 in mine, starting with only a 75% crew and only bought equipment for it for the last two missions.

In game they said they're replacing the WT-100 next release...
Click to expand...

This has been known for some time. Its being replaced by what is basically a WT auf Panther called the Grille 15.

WAY faster than the E100, better camo, but obviously no auto loader. And best of all, it was not invented out of thin air.

I'm glad the WT 100 is being replaced. I'm on the tier 9 right now and I like the tank. I don't like how huge the WT 100 is and being the only auto-loader in the whole line. I'm even fine if the new tier 10 has the same gun with faster reload, and faster speed and more hp. But it looks like it's going to borrow the same 15cm gun from the the jE100?

Heh, I was just stopping buy to post a WTF.

Been so long since I played I'd never even seen that.

The even original grille's could be relatively nasty, that's just almost like a railway gun on tracks.

But even drove Count Dracula German arty around a while in the past and bigger.

Can that thing move over 3 MPH ?


looks like a hypothethical train gun on tracks 🙂

Obviously no armor either, my E-75 has been rusting a few years.

Hope someone has friends to protect that, the reload rate must be horrible.

Hope the splash damage is huge.

Was always fun plunking I really big arty shell on someone once upon a time when they weren't expecting it though.

Its not artillery, its a tank destroyer. Grille does not mean artillery in german, it actually means cricket of all things. But it was typically used for any sort of self propelled gun, which most german TD's fall under.

But in this case with it using a Panther chassis, its decently fast, reloads are quite good.

No need now, SPG-15 completed in the might Bishop, 3077 damage in a tier 6 battle. Finally got my last female crew.

I download World of Tanks installed successfully, I am learning about this game. Can someone help me how to play?
Click to expand...

Yeah, I advise watching lots of youtube videos that talk about core mechanics. Will also help you learn the maps, and to know where each type of tank should go.

But if I could go back and give myself one piece of advice, it would be to not rush into battle. Be much more methodical and deliberate with my moves.

The first line i ran was the Russian heavy up to the IS-7.Good line to run nearly in every tier right up to 10.

A good cheap premium tank for credits is the T-127,this thing is absolutely a riot in tier 3 and under $7 its a win.I got this and the T25 which a buddy gifted me.Turns like a gang banger but in a straight line it just flies.:thumbsup:
