Played for about two hours last night.  Got my  :ahand.  I did get all the upgrades for the first german tank researched though.  Finally got my first solo kill in my last match of the night.

ive been killin shermans and KV-1's in my VK-3601 since april :t  once you get past the PZ3 your put into matches with tanks like the M7 and T29...tier3-7 are all mixed togethor i think. they really screwed up on the balancing.

I wouldn't even call it a tank. It's a tractor with a cannon.

When I first heard of the game, I assumed I was going to drive real tanks, not tractors.
IMO, the game should've started with tanks from Tier 2 like the M3 Stuart, or Panzer II.

Even then, by the time you start driving REAL tanks, Panzer IV/T34/M4, you start getting blown to bits by artillery and supertanks that were just prototypes during the war. Examples include putting a Hetzer against KV-3s and T29s. You're slow, so you can't scout. Your gun is like a wet noodle.

In other MMOs, at least you can actually DO something while grinding, in WoT, you sit there waiting to get blown up. Only until you reach T9 or T10 tanks does the game FEEL like the way it was meant to play.


  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

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

Yea my ingame name is belial124 send me some invites guys and my bros name is tf15pin send him one too.

I don't even really enjoy the game but it's a nice break from AH as there are never any good tank fights.

I'm only up to the Panzer3 and the PZ35 or whatever but I'm decent at it, I just started running a TD AT-1 and thats my favorite.

im past my VK-3601 and onto the Tiger2. im currently working my way up the chain with the M7 priest SPG but that is a grind thats even worse than having to be stuck with tier 6 tanks in a PZ-3. its only worse because of the xp you have to gain then the cost of the M40. i can easily kill a KV-3/1S with a few shots but the way those damn leopards sneak up and dont die from a single hit up close in the turret is screwed up. i wish that i could stick with the guys in the KV's/T29's instead of being groped by 10 A-20's

I know the clan I'm in (Chewie as well), has been running "grouped platoons" as we call it. We normally end up with two platoons in the same match, on the same side. It's fun. :P
Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

man id kill to get into a platoon, but alas, someone has cut my pantaloons. meaning, my SPG's arent good enough to kill with the guys in the tier 8-10 class.

Do we have a channel setup in game we can meet on? I'm usually on every night and I'd love to platoon up with some guys for low tier matches.

I will reiterate this again for all the new guys.

There is a combined AH group of players that all run together.  Anyone interested can PM me with your ingame name and I will send you an invite.  We run together every night and use a TS server for commo.

Again, all are welcome.
