I'd like an invite to the clan...  Same handle: Anodizer..
I love the game!  Been playing since closed beta...  Was mildly upset about losing all my stuff(Tanks, etc.) when it went live...
Haven't been on there much lately, but I'd get back into it if I had people to play with as opposed to being an autonomous target....   

PM sent.

Got it downloaded last night. I'll give it a shot tonight after work.

I currently have the M41.

I will tell you this....enjoy the M7 priest while you have it. The M41 is like playing the Hummel (I have both). If you play anything else besides the M41, it will take you WEEKS to get passed it.



I spend too much time on WoT.
I have in the garage (in order mostly): T34-85, KV (for the free slot coming up, KV-3 (same reason), PnzIV (I love this tank), JadgPanther,  Tiger, Tiger II, Lowe, Hummel, T14, T20, T29, T32, M41 & finally an M36 Slugger.

That's off the top of my head lol.

OK. The M41 is NOT like the hummel. the Hummel is worlds better.
Of course it's going to take you weeks to get past. Do you really expect to have an M12 or a Gw Panther within hours? What's the point if grinding if you could have the top tank in a couple days?

by the time i get to the M41, i would have made my M7 an elite already and have blown past alot of tanks in free XP also, shells are somewhere around 1000 creds. each, so im going to end my SPG line there and go down the american tank line (im at a pershing, going to start where i left off in the heavy tanks now) and see if ill have enough free xp to work down the russian TD line.

I'm going down the German line.   Play with the tanks until I get elite then go to the next.  Of course I keep two elites in my garage for the free xp.  I also use one slot for either a US or USSR tank for variety.

[guncrasher]

just go with it for now,you get a lot of that, if you let them piss you off it makes it unenjoyable

oh i didnt get upset.  i am used to all the new guys upping la7's and spit16 in the ma just to die on the first 20 seconds of the fight  .

THere are quite a few of us playing from over here.  We have a clan of about 47 now that are mostly people from over here.  If you need an invite for the company just say so.

Bohdi, can one of your mates send me an invite?  Stoney74 in-game.

The original blog post was April 30th but on the previous page he noted the post was updated august 17th. I'm still almost 2 weeks late in catching it   If you look close there are a lot of tanks on all 3 trees we don't have yet. And a lot more premium tanks at bottom of each tree including SPG's.

They have the same style. They are fast movers with a slow-ish reload (with rammer) and aim time. Not AWFUL but not great either. The Hummel IMHO IS better, but STATISTICALLY, the M41 is the one you want on your team. ROF and aim time are faster.

As for your question: No, I don't plan on having them in a few hours but compared to the other Tier 6's it takes a while. OBVIOUSLY arty will take longer, I was just letting him know if he played anything BUT his SPG it would take a LONG time.

You have to realize that I've managed to run up EVERY single tree (with the exception of the russian TD & SPG lines), and get to at LEAST tier 6 (with THAT exception being the artillery), and only one tank away from having nothing but Tier 7's. I also love my three Tier 8's.

It just makes the arty grind seem MUCH longer compared to the others, which is understandable. Breathe. It'll be O.K. - I promise.

[whels]

lol SPGs are like spit16s with tater guns. fun with 1 shot kill ability, but easy to be killed.

[Beefcake]

Some of us new guys need to start platooning up and own some newbs in the tier 1-3 battles.

Guys . . it is a battle of manuever.. even in an E-85
(the beast *after* the King Tiger, the one Germany wished they had time to build)

If you try to solo it will be rough.

When I drop into a battle, I look for who is goin out to engage and tag along, hopefully 3 of us or more.
I vulch the *crap* out of any I can.. circle around and hit em from behind while they're busy with someone else.

You'd be amazed how many target fixate and just let you sit there blastin their butt off.

Then there's the fights where no way can you get behind em .. so you sit behind the heavy and listen.
When the opponent fires, move forward, fire, move back behind the heavy or building corner.
Timing is *everything*

It's awesome watching a trio work in a city fight around a corner.
It's even better when yer one of em.

SA .. gotta have it.
Boom an Zoom.. do not stay in one spot after you fire.

Setup yer site using options so it works best for you.

Shoot Straight you Army Pukes!! (from Red Dawn, the original)
