I saw this the other night on the buffer, and I could not believe my eyes!

That is an amazing streak! 93 kills in a Panzer!

I have to ask, how do you manage to rack up such scores?

What's your secret?

Anyway, Congratulations!

My guess would be...
A) being in the right place at the right time
B) Loads of patience

0osik got to 70ish once I think...
Fester must have been re-armed once or twice...

Anyway, great run!

nah was just defending a1 baltic map from rapid attack of vehicles at a2 as they spawned from about 1400 yards. with about 3-4 other defending panzers. it was quite a fireworks show as the battle was nonstop. only reason i got so many was because of the chaos of so many vehicles on both sides. they just didn't fire at me much, and when they did target me i killed them first.

ive found A1 on the baltic map has the best ground vehicle war setup of any base/spawn points on any maps or any locations.

i hope htc or the map makers will study this area and try to duplicate its design on their maps in many locations.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

Hear hear.

A more active ground war would only be a good thing (unless you're Lazs).

87 rounds, when loaded for anti-armor it's 80 AP and 7 smoke. But that's not the limit of what you can get; if you can hit right at the gun mantlet on an Ostwind, you can get a turret kill on it with your hull, pintle, or coax machine guns. I had a 9-kill 'flight' in a Panzer IV a couple weeks back where some yahoo kept respawning in an Ostwind; after a lucky one-ping turret kill on me when he happened to spawn out of my immediate kill arc, I still got his turret three more times with my hull gun before I ran its ~300 rounds out (there should be some way to transfer ammunition between machine guns in a vehicle); he spawned again and I listened to him bounce shells off my tank for five minutes before I got bored of waiting for him to run out of ammo and bailed.

Also if some kind soul will bring them - you dont get any score for doing so -  vehicle supplies will re-arm and repair your tank.
