[MMO] World of Tanks

[Skott]

13k xp to go for the Tiger II. Getting there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Been working on my 3001P too. Its not a horrible tank with the last engine and 10.5cm gun. Only a near terrible tank. LOL Unfortunately the engines do not carry over to any other tank. Best to go with the 3001H where engine upgrades count towards future tanks. Still need about 37k xp for the DB.

 

[stag3]

debating on getting the DB next or just jump from my SU152 to the ISU152

 

[Ruptga]

76mm zis3 with HE or 57mm zis2 with AP on an SU 76? It looks like both would do damage pretty reliably, but I just don't know. The 57mm has better aiming time, accuracy, RoF, and weight, but the raw damage of the 76mm is appealing.

I used to be named JesusHChrist. They made me change my name. I chose StalinUrEngine. They approved it and they changed it. Now I get a message when I chat that I'm banned because of a naming violation.

Fuck it.

Fuck them and those fucking thieves. I uninstalled.

You're getting pretty obnoxious for a guy who quit the game. You should probably leave this thread now that you no longer play and leave it to those who still do.

i picked up the ISU152, i also finally broke down and got premium for a month as i needed gold to dismount modules and move them over haha

 

[Liet]

That's pretty smart of them, huh? Pay 10 gold (which is what, 25 cents?) to save you the time it takes to make 500k. While you're at it, might as well buy 6500 gold!

I bought my Panther yesterday, and am amazed that Wargaming would make available a stock tank that doesn't even have the load capacity to load a camo net or binoculars. It's not too surprising, though, because after so many fun 'surprises' with the German medium line, it's getting routine.

What do you think of the ISU152 so far? They scare the hell out of me.

I remember both were pretty good. I was able to get some pretty good games in both guns, but you can go through the su-76 pretty quickly so I wouldn't worry about it. Just remember to stay back and let others spot for you because you will die if anything hits you.

Got an IS-3 with the BL-9 this weekend. The answer is yes, you can mount the BL-9 with just the engine upgrade from the IS without any other research.

Downside is you can't mount any additional equipment until the track upgrade. Not a big deal really. Had a few awesome games the first day but yesterday just got into a string of horrible teams that brought down my win percentage considerably.

I'm also starting to see why people HATE lowes. half of these assmonkeys don't have a clue what the hell they're doing in a tier 8 match. It more often than not comes down to which teams has less idiotic lowe drivers, which is sad.

Please send the assmonkies to my site, I have a nice Lowe guide for them.

Yes, but that is pretty much true of all players. Not just those limited to the Lowe players. If you get on a team of players who know their tanks weaknesses and strengths, know strategy, use strategy, play as a team, and communicate well has a far better chance of winning and often do.

You got a clan yet elcs?

Haven't played for a while. Thinking of upgrading the rig and playing again...

 

[Liet]

You know you want to, Plasma!

Say, is the AT platooning channel populated? I play a lot but always forget to check, and it'd be nice to play as a team with some people.

needs tracks badly, i upgraded the engine + radio right away, i also have the 122's unlocked from the su152.
i prefer the derp to the 122, ammo cost is way less, i profit even when i lose, it is pretty much the same as playing the su152 except you got 200 more hit points, need tracks, bl10, then i'm ready to go, so only 78k needed for those 2, then the grind for the object yay!

i put on the rammer, binocs and vents

The thing is, by the time you have GRINDED to a tier 8 heavy you'd know how to play peak a boo to some degree, what the maps look like and where the arty shadows are. Losing a tier 8 heavy to incompetency puts your team at a huge disadvantage. Think how much firepower you are losing. I'd think most players by tier 5-6 would know how to play because of the pain they went through.

In my experience Lowe drivers, in general, get a bum rap for no reason.

They are just as great/good/average/hopeless/double hopeless/uninstall game now as other Tier 8 players.

(my opinion)

 

[Canun]

I just got a Lowe this last weekend. I admit, my first few games I did some really stupid things. I figured out the loading takes a very long time, and adopted peek-a-boo tactics. By the end of the weekend, I was consistently surviving the whole match with a few kills. I still have alot more to learn, but it is a fun tank.

Not really. I'd say in at least 50% of my games multiple high tier tanks will die stupidly, often within the first couple of minutes.

I still play.

Apparently a week after my name change, their corporate office decided to change the naming rules. It was an auto-chat-lockout basically because of the name, but could still play. Got it all squared away.

The obnoxious people are the ones that talk shit about stuff they obviously know dick about.

 

[Skott]

Elited the Tiger. Bought the Tiger II. Sold the old Tiger 1. Tiger II has best radio and engine. Everything else is stock. Got a long Holiday weekend coming up. Planning to push hard as I can to finish the 3001P and get the DB. I'll just keep switching back and forth between KT and 3001P I guess. Play the Lowe occasionally maybe for credits when and if needed.

 

[stag3]

lol enjoy the 3001p man, it was brutal for me, i tried to upgrade nothing at all except what i could bring across to the DB, i will probably purchase the DB this weekend also.
been grinding my IS and ISU-152.

Had a few awesome games the first day but yesterday just got into a string of horrible teams that brought down my win percentage considerably.

Hate it when that happens. I've lost count of how many games I ended up with Top Gun and yet my team still lost. I think the worst one for me was an 8 kill loss. Very aggravating.

I'm also starting to see why people HATE lowes. half of these assmonkeys don't have a clue what the hell they're doing in a tier 8 match. It more often than not comes down to which teams has less idiotic lowe drivers, which is sad.

On the flip side of the coin, the problem with owning/operating a Lowe is that EVERYONE assumes you're a noob who doesn't know which end of the barrel the shell goes in. If you have a bad round, you're just a useless wallet warrior moron. If you have a great round, you're just a lucky useless wallet warrior moron. There really seems to be no way to please anyone if you're driving a Lowe.

If it wasn't for the fact that it's an ATM on treads, I wouldn't have bought one. But when you combine the amount of credits a Lowe generates with the occasional 1/2 price sale on components they keep having, it's a match made in heaven. So I keep it in the regular rotation with my other Tier 7-8 tanks and just ignore the comments while playing it.

 

[Skott]

I admit I bought my Lowe due to all the hype of it being a credit maker. That plus I just had the natural curiosity of what it was from the player's aspect. And I had the gold. I ignore the rants about Lowe players. Hell, I even joke along with folks about them despite the fact I am one myself. Its just a game. I try not to take it too seriously. Life is hard enough as is.

Sage advice, Wallet Warrior.

I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. I've seen a few lowes turn the tide of the battle. Generally people are more careful with their tiger IIs and IS-3s than the lowe because they lose a lot of money if they die without putting up a fight. I tend to see a lot more reckless lowe drivers that just don't give a rat's ass about how they perform because they'll still make 40k if they lose.

 

[Nik]

Well, getting cocky against them can be fun when there's an idiot behind the wheel, but it always bites is in the ass when there's one guy who knows what he's doing -or, heaven forbid, a full platoon of them and they all know what they're doing. They're good tanks. It's just insulting that someone can buy their way into higher tiers and top level gear.

 

[stag3]

yea the best game i've had was a 9 kill round and barely winning it, my team all rushed and died, and it was 7 v me, i was in my su-85 camped in bushes by our flag and they came 1 at a time LOL wtfbbq, if they came in pairs or rushed me i would have lost for sure but no, 1 at a time, i'd kill, move to avoid arty, then 10-15 seconds later, next guy came. i thought for SURE i was dead but when i got to 6-7 kills i was thinking i may just pull this out of my ass for a win.
