dunno i mean i enjoy the armor on the KT, and the grind for all upgrades wasn't bad, but now i have a 160k grind for the e75 and maybe i was expecting more from the long 10,5 hahaha 🙂 i did the grind for all upgrades using the L71 and it was pretty fun even tho it hardly damaged anything.

i am having a blast using the S-51 tho, i have everything unlocked already and have 30k xp. i didn't plan to upgrade to the obj 212 but looks like that will come pretty quickly. it's a nice break playing arty since you don't have to do much. i just need to grind/play it a lot more before the reduction in credits earned takes place in the .7 patch for arty

the 100mm from the soviet line can't do it reliably. First hand experience. 😀

If the KT isn't good, then it's going to be a long boring grind to the e-75 no? Though to be honest I'm really tired of playing heavy tanks lately. Last night in my is-4 landed in 3 straight games where there were 4-6 huge arties (talking obj 261, T92 and GW type Es). Got 2 shotted in every single one of those games, and they were all open field maps. No fun at all. Switch to tiger, find myself facing off against E-100s for 4 games straight... sigh.

There was something funky going on with the match maker last night. My KV was in games with KTs, E75s, IS4s. I couldnt get a match that was my tier or lower. My Tiger got tossed into a match agasint a team with an E100 and Mause + T95. I just face palmed. Luckily our team had equally as big tanks and we won. I pretty much hid behind buildings and took pot shots at whatever I could. But the match making was crazy last night.

Did you get a code? As their email indicates, mine went to the spam folder. And it didn't work! 🙁 I'm on the US servers, so maybe this is EU only?

edit: oh right, PM me if anyone on EU server wants a free code! (Er, assuming that it works on the EU server)

Did not realized what having a trained crew means for your tank.

Yeah it is night and day. Even the diff btwn 75% and 100% is pretty significant. For example, on my pz iv, the loading time decreases by a little more than 10% going from a 75% crew to a 100% crew (have vents in both cases). I don't know what the diff btwn 50% & 75% is, but I would guess that it's similar.

So that's the net effect of a rammer for half the cost. And that's only examining ONE aspect of tank operation. Before purchasing any equipment (except maybe camo net as appropriate), I would 100% recommend buying 75% crew training. It's great. I'd recommend 100% too if it didn't cost gold, lol.
 
Seems like the T-127 codes are still down and that the T2 LT codes are fore new accounts only, yet it doesn't tell you that.

Warfailing.net 🙂
 
I just love it when I end the night in my KV getting rocked by a slugger because right as I shoot he disappears and my shot misses him. Being stuck in the middle of a desert means I go poof while waiting for the derp to reload 🙁

But i wasnt about to go to bed upset. Took my marder II out for a spin and ended the night with a personal best 9 kills 😀

Weird, I've always found that even if they disappear my shots will hit them.

Yeah I spend the cash for a trained crew and I go from a personal best 1 kill a game to 4 kills. That and I stopped screaming at computer, "Load damn you LOAD!"

It can and has for me. The problem was the milisecond I lost visual of him the gun elevated a little. Not sure why it does this, but I have noticed it. And with the derp gun, you will have a hard time hitting them unless they are really close.
 
I had a terrible win in my 212 last night. Fired 18 shots and hit 1. I did have confederate as I damaged 8 different enemies, but for crap damage. Even with the win, my earnings did not cover my ammo cost *and* they are nerfing arty credit earnings so it will be even harder to make a profit on unlucky games like that. But such is the life of an artilleryman, after that game I played my GW Tiger and hit 5 of 6 shots, including 3 in final defense TD mode (one was a 50-2!).

You were aimed at the horizon and there was suddenly a distant hill or mountain in the sights, the gun raises to compensate for arc of hitting the far target.
 
The hell? The game just got stuck on the map loading screen. Never saw any players listed. Then it disconnected me from the server. If I try to log back in, the whole experience just repeats.

Can't check the forums to see other people are having issues as well b/c they're STILL DOWN. UGH

edit: great, now I'm back in the garage w/a destroyed tank, 40xp and a big net loss. Grrr.
edit2: tried a different tank, same fucking problem. Seriously? This is not even vaguely acceptable for a game I've given money for!

They really should have RP servers for this game. Now that I'm driving an M3 Lee, not sure about name still learning, I find myself transformed into this half mad Captain Ahab / General Patton. And every red blimp that pops up is Mody Dick / Rommel.

I have had the game crash on me multiple times, but it has always let me back in right away. Did you change/try any mods or change settings (as in screwed up your own game)?

Granted I've only played the game a few days now, but have you tried screaming at your men?

Not just murmuring dissatisfaction at the screen. I'm talking about screaming until spittle sprays all over your monitor. I found that screaming at people who walk past me when I'm playing helps too. Trips across an open field without cover or going for a Sunday drive down the road, as punishment for lack of performance, lead to a stronger more focused tank crew.

That is nothing short of spectacular, in my opinion. My biggest problem with the M2 and M3 Lee is that they are so slow. The punching power of the Howitzer is less than spectacular when you give up even more precious speed to equip the damn thing.

I'm hoping once I grind out the M4 Sherman the better engines will pep things up a bit. Or maybe I'm better suited to go the heavy route... I've got time to make up my mind.

my mens don't exist unless they're taking 105mm shells in the face. I have no idea what's driving, aiming and loading the open-top artillery pieces as the cannon seems to move according to some divine will.
