World of Tanks V - V for Vendetta

[Pocktio]

Greedy bastards, seriously. Fix the first game then get onto sequels.

[Jopax]

One good thing i can see coming out from this is that they will finally introduce multiple guns/turrets to tanks too, since great giant battleships with only one controlable weapon won't be very fun i think.

[Cortlendt]

Woot! Thats good to hear, much better news than WoWP. Think of all the class possibilities - torpedo boats, subs, destroyers and all the way up to the battleships. Though some better new multi-core engine with DX11 is much needed.

[Hiroshi_Tea]

But all that sexiness comes at the price of KV-3 like mobility, which is rather bad considering that you need to be mobile to stay alive and whatnot, taking its last engine really killed the tank.

DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MY TIER 7 PANTHER!!!
the tank is pure unadulterated win. It's plenty mobile even without the final engine. I can get to places with it, unlike the KV-3

[CommissarRezail]

Holy crap, world of battle ships? *dies of excitement* its a good chance they may combine all 3 games into one huge battle arena where chaos is supreme.

[killerpoodle]

Well World Of Battleships has my excited, as for combining them all because I don't see how it could all work together, could you imagine being a tank and getting killed by a Battleship Shell within the first minute of the game before you've seen any enemies?

As I've said already on multiple forums, Navyfield's body was not ready.

[Cortlendt]

These are arts or in-game screenshots or something in between? Looks like carriers and planes are in. Still no crews on decks which is my hidden wish .

[Interviglium]

Why is the IS-3 made of tracks?

Every shot 'tracks damaged!'

[Hiroshi_Tea]

Best tier 2 non-premium tank?






Best tier 2 non-premium tank.

Triumvir, I like tracking IS-3s. They are pretty easy to track. That's what you get for having a crappy russian tank. Aslo, check your WoT inbox because i sent you a clan invite

Actually, thats a perk. Would you rather have your tracks absorb all the damage, or your hull?

Unless it leads to more damage

[dinbatu]

With god of finger pointing , Anyway have started the german tank line grind and sort of love and hate the pzIII/VI, the tank is soo fast yet equipped with underpowered gun.

[Busby]

Yep. The Panzer III/IV is a funny little zoom wagon, but its 75mm are just a little bit too weak and slow reloading for it to be a great tank.

[Koozer]

The T-44 is annoying me now. Weak gun, pants side and rear armour. I used to love it in beta, now I can't wait to find something else. What are the E-50 and Patton like in comparison?

Not really a good comparison considering both of those are Tier 9, and the T-44 is only Tier 8... I would wait until you get the T-54 before passing judgement.

this is totally not the game i've been playing


@Koozer
T-44 is facing stiffer competition due to all the new tanks. I loved the thing when i got it, and it's still one of my favorite tanks, but the new tier 8s, Pershing and the panther II, it now faces are much stronger. T-44's purpose is to bully all those tanks that are a tier lower than you. You however will need support to kill anything at your tier now since everything just got stronger in all the patches.

[dinbatu]

KT moving like Leo, push tank off a bridge, exploding turret, push environment for cover certainly don't exist in game

Also i want that garage.

[A_Squirrel]

Any point keeping the M4A2E4 freebie? Could use the 300k to bump up to tier 2...or tier 3, wherever Im at...and I'm assuming the thing is outclassed by the non-prem tanks. And if I sell it, I do keep the garage slot right?

[Jopax]

Keep it for a bit more, it earns much more money than you will get with any vehicle under T5 so it's nice for grinding cash.And you do get to keep that slot when you sell it

[Hiroshi_Tea]

don't sell it unless you are way up in the tiers. I'd only sell it if i'm trying to get a tier 7 or 8 and need the money and room for it.

It's a semi-decent tank that gets tossed into crappy battles.
Also, it's a collector's item - once you sell it, there's probably no way to ever see it again. In other words, it's a rare virtual tank and there's value to simply having one.
since i'm sentimental and all that shit, i'm keeping it even though i hate using it for battles

[A_Squirrel]

Oh why didnt I try this thing sooner...10k for doing almost nothing is so much better than the scraps I was getting in the T26. Thanks for the heads up, you two have saved this thing from the junkyard for the moment.

[Jopax]

So i got the second turret for the T32 today, dear god i missed facehugging dumb people so much <3<3<3<3
Nothing can escape me now, prowling around corners and waiting to pounce some poor soul before murdering him nicely, even things i can't penetrate can't escape me (hint, commanders hatch isn't armoured).Best of all i average some 40k every battle i don't derp up and die instantly, if this continues on i might have the KT by the end of the next week (unlocked it but i'm all out of cash after buying the T20)

[Noir]

Just had my first 100k+ game in my Lowe...and all I had to do was one-shot an IS-3 near the start of the game and then provide fire support to the rest of the team.

We steamrolled those guys.

[Busby]

My ping was higher then 500 at times during that game.

[Noir]

WE T5E1 NOW.

[Cortlendt]

Commanders hatch on T32 IS NOT a weak spot.

[Jopax]

Bot on every other tank it is ^^

[Hiroshi_Tea]

my IS-4 was complete fail today while the T34 just kicked ass straight up. Totally opposite of what happened yesterday.
Freaking inconsistent teams

Starting from 11:30 AM UTC, August 25, and till 11:00 AM UTC, August 26, the profit gained from Hummel, SU-8 and M41 SPGs will be doubled.

Good thing I have the hummel unlocked and enough free exp for the gun. I'll be rolling in dough tomorrow

[Jopax]

Yup, this is a nice little suprise, should hoard up a nice pile of money :>

[Hiroshi_Tea]

I hate playing in the hummel. Actually, i hate playing as arty (i have 1 piece from each race actually...)

It's not that it's not fun. I like the change of pace - it's a bit more relaxing than the other tank classes.
But gah!!! It's just I can't help my team enough to win. And that's aggravating

[Jopax]

That and the oh so frequent near hits that make me rage so much, like you know, the entire circle except for three dots is on the tank itself, and the shell goes for those three dots instead of that big juicy hunk of metal -.-

But i did manage to climb up to a million credits, another million to go now

[Norsehound]

People whined so much about artillery being imba, this is the result. Artillery now rarely hits anything directly, always "that was close!"

[Pocktio]

I enjoyed my hummel. When I had one.

*grumbles*

[Demonic Spoon]

People whined so much about artillery being imba, this is the result. Artillery now rarely hits anything directly, always "that was close!"

No. It was when tier 7-8 SPGs were added, so there was a new top tier. Tier 5-6 SPGs needed to be scaled down or tier 7-8s would be broken.

[Noir]

Whee, just researched and bought the T32, now I'm about 220k experience away from garaging the T34 until patch time.

[Demonic Spoon]

the T34 becomes the T8 premium heavy, right?

I'm at the T1. I wonder if I have enough time to get there...

[Hiroshi_Tea]

Don't garage your T34. It's a great tank. PLay it while you can before we get a crappy M103

Spoiler

[Jopax]

I am some 130k of xp short on that one, and i have a feeling i won't make it X(

[Cortlendt]

It will take ages till some heavies - T34, T30, IS-4, KV-3, KV will be shifted. No plans for them in the next patch. I have all of them save for T30 in the garage.

[Celution]

I can now research the E-75 on my King Tiger, but:

I have 100k free xp and 80k on the King Tiger. I won't sell the King Tiger because it's one hell of a tank (absolutely love it, just like in BETA), but are there any recommendations if I should use my 100k free xp to reasearch the E-75 or keep it and use it to insta-elite the E-75?

[Hiroshi_Tea]

I would go with insta-eliting the tank
Just save up enough cash for a E-75 with 75% trained crew (3,661k) and by then hope that you have enough exp on the tiger II to research the tank.
Then use the free EXP left over to research the suspension, turret, and gun - or as far as you can get.

[Celution]

I already still have a 100% in the free Panther I got from the last patch, so that means inta-80% crew. But yea I think grinding the KT more is best as well. I remember in BETA I really hated the VK4502 with the 105mm L68, as it was just too weak for that tier.

[Jopax]

Test server for 6.7 is up, the update is rather disappointing, a few tanks and a map, some tweaks to existing tanks (changes to certain arty pieces (mostly US) but the nature of those changes isn't mentioned.I do commend the quickness of the release after the last one went live, might be the reason for it's lack of content, but hey, they didn't roll the T34 changes out yet so i'm happy

[Celution]

That Type 59 is just as strong as a T44; no worries.

By the way, beat this:

[Jopax]

Ok question, how do you buy a Lowe if you only get 10k of gold on the test server and the tank itself costs 12k ?

[Hiroshi_Tea]

he had gold from a previous event/purchase

anyways, the tier 5 lights are made of arty's worst nightmares. They are hilariously fun

[dinbatu]

Yeah those tier 5 light can easily outrun any tank with uber acceleration.

Also Type 59 is fun to play with even tho it a bit sluggish and i like chinese crew portrait than other nation crew.

[Celution]

Nooo, I just have a Löwe from my normal account. Your test server account is simply a copy of your normal one.

[Celution]

Loving my elited E-75 in the test server! It feels really solid with good firepower.

Can't wait to have it on my "real" account.
