LOL you guys are a riot. The game is great and is going to do just fine.

They have said over and over on release there will be a wipe.

Some of you must be really bad at it to cry this much over a fantastic little game thats still in beta.  :aok

Oh and what game isn't a waste of time?  :lol

It's ok... it's free so who cares. :D

I still can't stand the laser/jdam guided SPG crap. There is no way in hell that a cannon round should be able to follow a random pattern of driving around. Not to mention the size of the maps allow most of the higher level SPGs to cover the entire map; except where the terrain hinders that shot.

I was on a map the other day with 4 SPGs on my teams side and about 5 seconds after the start of the round they all shot into the enemy start point and killed 6 tanks at once. No one had spotted anything at all so POSSIBLY they had a "C" word enabled...or maybe they just knew the layout really well with a highly trained set of crews.

Lighten up folks. It's a game. A free game. In the closed beta phase. Give it time. There's more coming. And if you don't like it, don't play.

Shenanigans.


Hint: Only the higher tier tanks are capable of killing multiple tanks with one round. Even then it's extremely rare, I've never seen it and I own a top tier arty. Those top tier SPG's take 15+ seconds to load. Your story is a fabrication.

I still laugh my a** off thinking of you and Bodhi the other night.   It was priceless when he missed you and drilled that Panther in the arse.

Maus and 4502 seem like a waste of time, I've stopped at the Tiger II. Can use the large canon to rape at long range or one of the smaller to rack up large chucks of cash and exp.
So far even after a few upgrades I still dont like the 4502...the Tiger 2 is a great tank to stop at because most of the time you'll be the highest guys in the battle...with the 4502 you get thrown in with IS7s and Mausen.

This can't happen in WOT because of the erroneous damage modeling.
Model is better than AH's 1 shot stuff.

I've seen it happen and have been on both sides when it has.  One of the higher tier battles I was in, as soon as the match started the other side starting shooting arty rounds, took out about 4-5 of our guys just as the began before we even had a chance to move.  I was one of those killed right at the start.  Another time I was on the other side of things and watched just as the match started as our arty fired and took out about 3 of their guys immediately after the match started.  Of course, this could have been do to lag or something but it can and does happen on occasion.

I dont think it would be all that hard to shoot at starting spots, they are always in the same place. Spawn camping is pretty common, even in games like Badcompany 2 with tons of random spots.

No you haven't. The game starts with guns unloaded. Big arty take 15-25 seconds to load. The only way for this to happen is if several tanks loaded the game very late.. at least 15-25 seconds, minimum; giving ammo load then shell travel time. There is no way possible for arty to kill anything within 5 seconds of the game starting.

You can shoot at spawn camp spots sure. But an arty simply cannot do so 5 seconds from the game starting, as I've explained.

You have a point about reload time.
