Anyone tried it?

I got my beta key deleted the e-mail and proceeded to lose it. Lots of talk about it over on the FW forum so there should be plenty of AH guys playing it. I'll see if I can get another key, I think I know someone who has one.
-
Plenty of fun. There are balance issues to be sorted out, a handful of minor bugs I've noticed. Not bad at all for a closed beta test :aok
I think it could be described as Aces High tanking with the complexity of a Call of Duty game (Which, isn't very complex at all!) Great selection of tanks, different shell types, and a whole bunch of upgrades.
-
Dont think I will be trying this one out, I looked at the site + screenshots, and saw a whole lot of IS-3, and Maus pics, theoretical experiment battles have never interested me, so I will be sticking to AH, because at leased when I shoot down a Spit 16 in a Hurri, I know they were both used for something in the war. how ever, world of tanks could be interestiong down the road, if they implement some sort of arena or time frame setting, to per say stop 6 Maus tanks and 13 IS-3's from ganging me while im in a matilda or a valentine haha
-
Just unlocked my VK3601P after a week or so worth of half-hearted grinding in a PzIII/IV. Ohhh man!
I am having fun playing with a friend of mine but it's a pain that it's still in Beta. Once it fully releases there will be an American line as well as non-public (team based) matchups. Did I mention it is completely free to play? No wrong can come of trying it out once available. Fast paced action with a nice RPG element. Will be playing it casually for a while. :aok
Cursed -- Qrsu in WoT

Its a BETA, with only german and russian tanks, few and little maps and above all a wrong tank sets (as soon as you get your short barrelled PzIII you find yourself against 1944-45 Tigers, Panthers, Jagd's and KV's). Crazy.
However, its very fun to play. Graphics are very good and you can run it at high settings even with a 2,4ghz C2Duo and an ati 4700.
If you have little time to play (sessions last about 10-15 mins) is a nice choice.

You're about 3 weeks late to the party and all the booze and hookers are gone. There is a group of us AH and ex-AH'ers (around 10-13 of us) that regularly play WoT.

its a fun game, i play when i can

WOT name is whiteman and i have a few squad mates playing also. have yet to get in a game with anyone i know. Mainly use a PzIV and Hetzer
-
In the game and go by Reschke there as well. Just started yesterday and its addicting like most other quasi-historical games.

I tried it and I prefer AH tanks.

Yes, like AKAK said a lot of us play.

I think you have that backwards dweeblet. Only dweebs like outside views and unrealistic controls. Despite what the ads say it isnt realistic at all.
-
Only dweebs like games that aren't exactly historically accurate? Lol, no, I think what you're referring to is "people who like to have fun". I get my real kick off of AH and FSX, but WoT is great for some quick action and squad based tactics.
-
Thats the only thing Im not impressed about is the third person view for the tank and the gunsight on screen rather than in the turret. in my opinion AH has them beat there. but as far as graphics variety, etc. WoT has them.

The ad for the program showed a virtual person controlling a tank with very realistic controls and suggested that would be the setup in the game.
BIG disappointment when its your typical FPS controls and a mouse.

Which trailer showed that? All of the official trailers and adverts of the game have never alluded to the game having 'realistic controls' like we have in our tanks. I've been following this game ever since they tried to pitch it to my company and a 'realistic sim' was never part of the intended design of the game. They do however, try and model the tanks and vehicle characteristics as authentic as possible and so far they've done a pretty good job at that.
From the posts you've made in the Wishlist forums (i.e. Iwo Mustangs), one would get the idea that historical accuracy isn't your strong point so it's funny seeing you bash a game due to being historically inaccurate.

Funny stuff.
Well AKAK couple questions, do most people get their applications accepted? If so how long does it take them to accept/decline your application? I applied yesterday, hoping for an answer soon. I have a squaddie that is gonna try it with me. Thanks for the help too by the way.

Mine was instant, I got my key about 15 seconds after filling out the application. Some have had to wait a couple of days to get the beta code and others have found some gaming sites giving away beta keys.
Your best bet would be to send Mensa a PM and see if he has any beta keys left over. He snagged a bunch up from different sites and might have one or two left over. Like I mentioned earlier, there is about 10-13 of us current and ex-AHers that hang around at the Flamewarriors BBS that have joined together and play. Once the game goes live, we'll be able to group up as teams for the matches and clan battles. My handle in WoT is Ack_Ack, not to be confused with AckAck (he's a salamander).

WOT is a way better game then AH with regard to tanks. No one can touch AH as a flight sim though.
Having to jump around positions in the tank and shift gears is an effort in self torture.
Some people could really help themselves by taking a hard look at the game model and stealing it.
The idea of having any prototype tank is pretty cool. Lots of interesting German stuff like the Tank that should been the Panther, the VK3002DB.
The American line will have all the American heavies that will tear up the German junk when it comes out. ;)
Very fun game.
-

I don't know. The whole concept of internal hit points doesn't feel like it is based on anything other than making tough tanks even tougher. But that is a gaming concession based on the extremely close combat that dominates.
They say there will be a Japanese line. That will be the place to see once and for all whether they are trying to be "accurate" or basing things primarily on "gaming concessions" since there really weren't any Japanese tanks that matched well with contemporary mediums, let alone heavies.

In the US tank branch where they list the premium tanks, it shows a couple of US captured Japanese tanks.

I am having a lot of fun with it. My time is limited these days, so something I can jump into and play almost immediately is a big plus. Doesn't work that way for me in AH.

Did you watch the entire trailer or even watch it at all? That is a joke trailer, the joke stems from a rant on the Russian beta boards from some player that wanted an uber-realistic tank sim. This was the developer's response to this players rant by making a trailer kind of mocking him and others. That's why it says "Realistic Tank Simulation, Does it have to be that real? Try another game." The developers are basically telling us if you want a realistic tank sim go somewhere else, ours is a video game.
Wargames.net has released a series of joke trailers like this, one trailer mocking the fantasy MMO crowd and another one making fun of the racing sim crowd.
Man, did you just make an epic fail. Couldn't happen to a more deserving dweeb.

If you search the Wishlist forums (it may be in Aircraft and Vehicles) there is thread about the Iwo Mustangs and wishing to use large capacity drop tanks so he can fly for four hours at 35,000ft. Guppy smacked him around pretty good in that thread but either the brain cancer or the residual effects from the red scorpion bite prevented Chalenge from being able to assimilate the information.

Chalenge, if it's realism you're after, why not develop your own full immersion, intensely realistic tank sim? I'm sure there would be plenty of people in that community who would be willing to help back you on it!

SD67: It sounds like a total waste of time and money to me. The older I get the more valuable I see my free time as being... spending time soaring and time with the wife and soon to be children.
No thanks and no tanks. AH is all I need and all I have time for.
Im sure Bronk and AckAck and Grizz have time and energy for that sort of thing. Why not ask them? Im sure the community would help back them on that. Good luck!

Well, it is a BETA after all, I'd say they'll be adding communication capabilities later. They need a better net smoothing code more than anything. There's way too much "teleporting" type activity going on.

Yeah, that should help the lag issues some. It seems that some of the issue is the expensive camouflage. Rather than being realistic, it sometimes appears to be a cloaking device. That's BS. Once you've seen a vehicle, it should remain seen. And if the vehicle moves, it can be seen, period.

You get 150 gold pieces every night during the week when you log on join a battle, usually after 7PM Central. That's 750 pieces a week.
You can convert gold to points, but I haven't seen where you can convert points to gold.

you can also spend gold to convert tank specific xp to free xp once you've hit elite status in a particular tank ( researched all modules for that tank)
I thinks it cost 1 gold to convert 50 xp to free xp.

I got my code in finally late last week. Ive been on WoT since, very addictive. have seen several AHers. Good times indeed. I like how theres no Vox, atleast for now, it will definitely come in handy the farther into the game I get. Im still in the recruits battles mostly although have done a few standards in my Marder II and SturmPanzer II. Now I want more armor in AH!!!!! :banana:

The M18 will be in the game along with the M10 and M36, also the super heavy TD with a 155.
If you search around the site you can find a pair of tech trees showing the American tanks planned.
Though I suspect the open top TDs, will be VERY easy kills for Arty, luckly the M18 will be zippy.

It's truth, it lasts a long time, the 23mm gun rocks some socks, and it out runs everything. I like to come up the sides, make a pass at the arty, then run out the other side. Works even better if you have another guy with you. View range is a bit short though.
-
The advantage of the BT-2 is speed and agility. I hate fighting the damned zippy Russian tanks.
The best tank I've used in the recruit battles is the Pz38H735t. It cost me 750 gold, and it has earned all of it.

someone said that curse.com still has come keys and if you register you get a free premium M3 Stuart light tank from the Soviet tank tree to use in standard (non-recruit) battles. Good deal since the M3 costs abouy 700-800 gold and it is the only light tank that you have some expectations of doing okay in standard battles.
This site has a little less than 1,000 left.

Thanks Ack-Ack I got one from this site...

This is a very fun game, the more i play it, the more i like it, bigger maps would be cool but i understand this is all beta, but its looks very promising as a longterm game ill play :aok
-
yeah gonna be a long week. Im hooked. Ive messed up with my purchases so bad so all that gold and refund will get me back in line. Light tanks are teh suk in standard.

Same with me. I was just experimenting around and really didn't focus on one but after the patch think I'll go the CCCP route unless they add the US tree.

The servers go down tomorrow, and will not be back up for a week (back up on September 1st). But you'll be really happy when they do come back up.

I NEED MY CRACK MAN!!!!
I hope they reset all the accounts back down to nothing. I really would like another shot at getting some of the stuff done right again. NEVERMIND....Sometimes it helps to RTFM
With the new patch rolled out, all beta testers will get 5000 gold each to test the new game features. The patch will be followed by a “light” wipe when the players will go back to tier 1 tanks, but all the experience they have earned will be converted into free experience which they will be able to use at their leisure. All credits will remain as well, and losing all the tanks, modules, and shells will be compensated by corresponding amount of credits spent on buying them. If a player had a premium tank or shells, compensation will be arranged in respectful amount of gold.

Tell me about it. Been running round with a fully upgraded T-46 and every time I die I say "god this tank sucks"...perdweeb can attest to that hehe.
I'm torn on going down the Russian or German tree but either way my goal is a IS7 or Maus. When we get back in game I should be able to jump right to a KV or Panzer 4 exp and money wise.
-
He did say it, seriously.
Running around with me in a Tiger or t34-85 and Lights beside me in an IS or T34-85, would piss me off too knowing im in a T-46.
Someone put me in a coma until 2 AM EST Sept 1st please, thank you.

And this is why I wait until games come out of beta nowadays before I start playing them. :D

I wasted so much xp down the wrong tank tree early. Ill stick with ze germans and grab a hummel and see how far down the TD tree I can go. Will also work on a medium/heavy line. Ill play more standard games then. Perdweeb and spikes I was in one standard against yall last night. Heavy wooded map don't recall name Karelia or something. I hits perdweeb a couple of times with the sturmII not much damage but coouldnt get a bead on spikes. SturmII not a good match for much right now. Marder is even less. Tiered battles will be fun though.
-
Hopefully, I'll have enough XP that I can use to get through the BT-7 and A-20, though the A-20 doesn't look too bad, at least for being a light tank. After that, I want my T-34 real bad. The American tree will just be like a side job until I am satisfied with a T-34-85. Then I will focus on the Americans. You know, that way I will have a backup plan if the American tree doesn't work out for me.

I hope I dont have to use the lawn tractor much again.

The T34/85 is awesome once you get a 80% crew and all upgraded with 100mm and extended turret. I also put a crew ventilation in which costs 250k creds and ads 2% to all crew members. Turned out to be a FANTSTIC tank. I also had a Tiger all upgraded with 110% crew. The T34/85 proved to be a good "2nd tank", I say that loosely because I almost preferred it to my Tiger. I like the tanking style required to drive the T34/85. I suggest it to anyone.

I got up to a fully equipped Leopard and and A-20. Both were a hoot! Just bought a PZIII and had 1 battle with it.

For an experiment I tried the 85mm fires a bit faster. With the ammo rammer and the gun laying drive (aims faster) it really shines. My only complaint is with its acceleration/ hill climbing ability.
While I do like the 100's knock down power, I was getting more xp/credits with the 85.

just read that the wipe doesnt take effect on Sept 1 but a few days after when we get patch. I think thats misinformation, but thats what someone said on the WoT board. They d have to do a wipe to change servers right?

The actual update isn't going to take place for a couple of more days. The server was down for them to migrate and get the entire database setup on the North American servers so they could be preparing for the update and for them to redo the EU servers.

UPDATE HAPPENING NOW!!! Just went to log in while on the phone with a customer and it tells me "We are updating our server software. Sorry for inconveniences." Patch size for update is 377.99MB. Talk about a slow download with all those euros trying to grab it though. Looks likes its going to take about 70 minutes to download.
-
The moronic teasers are enough of a turnoff for me, thanks. That and the fact that almost everything on the website that I've clicked is either broken or takes several minutes to load even a picture.

every thing has reset but you get all the money you ever had and all the experiance you ever had back so you just have to keep clicking through the tech tree and stuff

The game is still in beta and so is their website is constently undergoing updates. You really should take some time to check out the game instead of basing your decision not to play because of a couple of broken links on the web site. You're really missing out on a very fun game.

Game is back down for more server updates....plus there are some new maps and some new rides on the Ruskie side...haven't had a chance to do a lot yet...some DA's are already back in Maus and similar sized tanks.

If you have an anti-virus program, disable it before downloading. If you're not using an active anti-virus program or don't have one installed but behind a router, try placing your computer in the DMZ and then download the game. Some have been reporting that their firewalls are blocking some ports and others have reported their anti-virus programs recording a false positive.

...from the WoT forum:
1. Run launcher
2. Wait til line states - 'downloading/recieving patches'
3. Close launcher
4. Open WoT folder
5. Look in 'Updates'
6. Load the 'wot_54.48258_launcher_en.patc h TORRENT' file into your torrent client and download
7. Move torrent downloaded PATCH file into WoT\Updates
8. Replace any existing file when promted
9. Run launcher
The Launcher will NOW install the patch

I have been playing the game now for about a week. I do not like the wait to get into the arena. MY choice of tanks sucks. I have enough credits to buy a better tank but the tab that says purchase will not let me click on it.. I have only landed about 8 kills thus far..
I totally hate using the mouse for control.. They really need to allow joysticks.
Other than those few items, it is a fun game to play.. Very fast moving the entire time.. The guys who have been playing longer clearly have the advantage with better tanks than the noobs..

The wait is to allow them to create something of a remotely level playing field. They could just take the first 30 players, but I doubt you'd like fighting Tigers, T-44's, and JPIV's with your tier I light tank.
You have to research anything you purchase unless it is a premium vehicle you buy with gold, that's what the experience points are for. If you have been there for a week, you should have enough gold to buy a Pz38H735t light German tank. it costs 750 gold. It will really rack up credits and experience points if you use it correctly.

I was in there the one night I posted about earlier. Looked nice. The lack of controller support just makes it like an old dos game to me.
I realize it is in beta. Maybe the actual release will advance past what seems like 80s games.
I have not thought much about it since.

Oh yeah cause controls based on the simple setup every modern first person shooter uses is so 80s... :old:
Yeah lets get the clunky overly sim like but totaly modern setup like AH has... :lol

Ahhh a DOS grad... how nice.
How about a "GAME" that uses game controllers. Now wouldn't that be nice. :)
Not all games are for everyone. This one is probably just not for me.
-
A game controller can be a keypad type deal. WoT just uses keys on your keyboard instead of a separate keypad. And after a very short while, you get used to them and it works fairly well.

Yup...... it is just a matter of getting used to them.

Wait to get into an arena? The longest you have to wait is what, about 15 seconds? LOL!

The controls are perfect for what it is, in fact you will have less precision and probably more difficulties using a joystick than using the keyboard and mouse.

Bought a PZ4 and ran it last night. Nice tank. Also run a PZ3 which I like too. Main rides are Stug 3 and Hummel, I make most credits in them. I still keep my marder with 100% crew for fun though. Hoping to buy the jagdpanzer by the weekend.

just bought the Jagdpanzer. You need to research the 88 or you may as well use the StuGIII
-
spend most my time in a TigerI and jump between a VK3001(H) and a VK3601(H). figure I'll just wait for the release before jumping back in to a TD or SPG.
-
Just bought the StuG and am working towards the T34. People still like shooting me.
-
just looked at the screenshots theres no way my PC is gonna be able to play that :cry
-
Aside from the bad lag I get the game seems fun so far. Only played about 10 battles and using the tier 2 German Tank Destroyer (JgPzII?) for now since I can't use fast attack units because lag makes it impossible (jumpy tanks, click lag). Of course just last-night I got my invite code from the WoT-site after I got one from Shattered Crystal. :rolleyes:
Can't play again til I fix my gaming internet, but it's definitely a fun game when it doesn't put me against tier 6 tanks. Best match so far was 2 kills and about 4 assists. :)
-
I love W.O.T but the need to fix the severs the lag is killing me. I get 60 70 ping I guess that`s not bad ,but the other guy jumps around it`s hard to make a good shot! :rock

T28 and a Grille are my ride's right now love them both :D

That's not so much lag as it is the need for good predictive smoothing code. Those guys should buy the rights to use Dale's smoothing code. We've been looking at this for a while and discussing it elsewhere. Even with 40fps and 35-55ms, they still "teleport" if they move very far and or very fast, unless they're close.

teleporting has driven me nuts, if the auto aim would actually aim at the target and not 20 yards above i could live with it. if the final game still has teleporting i'll pass on it.

Got my Key today . Will have to give it a try .

Got my key yesterday. I have spent an hour reading the forums and just spent 45 minutes trying to figure wth i'm doing in the garage. The forum is unhelpful and I'm bored rigid without getting into a game. I'm better off in AH

it's very simple, just get in the game and start shooting, i think F1 brings up the key layout.

it's them euro lager's >< i run a 50-100ping and when there are euro player's i can see them warping or stop then slide to a diffrent spot. they need to have there own server not play on the US server ><
-
I see the same lag when I'm running 40ping as I did with the 200 ping when on the euro server. There's a certain distance where the movers teleport. They are working on that they say.

Took me a bit of clicking to figure it out too. Just click on the tank that you want to use for the first bit (specs on the right side of screen when you click on it) then at the top hit "Battle". Once you have done some fights and earned Experience and money (shown in the top right in garage), you can research parts (click on the star next to the experience) and then once researched buy it in the Store. Basics but it should get ya started if you haven't figured it out yet. :)
-
Played a couple of games finally. Graphically its pretty good. The gameplay sucks donut big time, tanks suddenly disappear as soon as you spot them, then spawn into existence usually 100 yards or so away and kill ya. You have to wait for 5 minutes or more at a time ( for me anyway) to get into a game. Play for a week or so to get another tank that is marginally less crappy? No thanks
-
I've been playing for about a month. I have in order of weight:- MS-1, Leopard, StuGIII, JagdPanzerIV, KV and a KV-3. Once you get going things happen pretty fast. The fully researched MS-1 is still one of my favorite tanks, its not a big credit or exp earner but I have the most fun in it.

If it takes you more then a few hours to get to another tank you need to quit gaming of any kind. :huh
There is a game mechanic reason for everything your talking about as well.

yes but i see a lot of euro player's on at night.

Pretty sure it is not lag but a realism feature.
Tanks that are teleporting like that aren't tanks you've spotted yourself, but scouted by others. And just like in real life if you were communicating by radio, you'd know kinda where the other tanks is if he's 300m away on the other side of some bushes, but you'd really be guessing. It's neat and doesn't allow teams to just turtle back and have perfect sniping opportunities across the map. Also teleporting decreases and you're able to see them for longer periods at further distances as your tank improves and you improve your radio. I think that's why its an upgradeable feature at all. Sure doesn't improve Vox, lol. Also enemy tanks stop teleporting when they are in your tank crews visual range which you can increase by buying modifiers for your tanks.
-
what he said
-
Game difficulties (including getting killed a lot) arent a problem for me, as long as I learn something. The game really isnt newbie freindly at all. The teleporting still happens, I am talking tanks moving towards you across open ground in visual range, vanishing then 'spawning' in your face. If this gets fixed I may play again.

It happens, it's a combo of lag and realism. Also you will never stop getting killed 100% of the time. 90% of the game itself is based on teamwork. If you work good as a team you will win. Having a Maus or an IS7 does not mean you automatically don't die, just as being 30K in a P-51 doesn't mean you automatically live.
When you get into a platoon and on TS with us you will live much longer...unless you get stuck on a team that sucks, heheh.

Keep your BT-2, and get it to Elite. Then, just convert XP towards other tanks, or use it to train crews to be used in other tanks.
I'm using the 45mm in mine because I prefer it's penetration and damage to the 23mm.

cant stand the BT2 sold it after upgraded enough to get next one
LOVE the AT-1

My ping in WoT is pretty much within the 50's. Some play AH with 600+ and live in the states. My ping into HTC is 66 like money in the bank. I have U-Verse and it is a hell of a lot more reliable than a cable modem. I've never been to anyone's home with a cable modem and HAVEN'T had to "reset the modem".
It's just people playing with a crappy ping in North America.

Opinions:
Focus on purchasing a Leo, or a StuG III?
-
Opinions:

Stug.. leo is dead end
-
What Bronk said, if you get sick of the StuGIII you can always research the JagdPanzer IV. I will never sell my StuG its a good earner.
-
Leopard is fast as hell...get it after you are content with your MBT. It is veryvery fun.
-
Try going full screen?
That is the point, how?
-
Esc->options->settings->graphics->fullscreen mode.
-
Sometimes when you open an application and if it opens by covering only half of the total window size and if you would like to maximize it, you can use the shortcut keys alt + spacebar and then X.
Tested this with Firefox, and it will maximize it. Should do the same thing in WOT, in effect shove into full screen or close to full screen mode. Thus letting you see the box to click to force it full screen.
-
Well at the end of 2 days of playing I'm getting pretty fair with the MS-1, best run was 5 kills. Tried the T26 and didn't like it at all, then the Stug, and hated that. Took me half a day of grinding to make enough credits to get the AT-1 bought, updated, and upgunned to the 76mm. I do love one shot sniping someone halfway across the map. :) But it is not fast, and its limited traverse makes mixing it up at close range a quick way to die.
Starting to play with the BT-2, at last a tank with some speed! If only it had some more punch!
Considering going back and trying the German side, really wish the US side was available also.
Do the repair and ammo costs go up a lot as you advance into better tanks?
-
[. . .]
Do the repair and ammo costs go up a lot as you advance into better tanks?
Repairs go up as you get a better tank and depending on how much you have to repair (my Hetzer cost 1-3.5K to fix). Ammo seems to cost about the same per tank, 10 per AP, 1 gold per Premium AP and 10 per HE.
-
Ammo goes up significantly in price. With Grille, if I put the long barreled gun on it, each shot costs 505 cr. Full load costs some 9k credits. With a shorter gun it's only 100 cr or 160 cr.
-
Do the repair and ammo costs go up a lot as you advance into better tanks?
Considerably. My maxed out 3601H medium German tank costs an average of around 5600 credits when actually knocked out with around 75-80% or more damage. I use the long barreled 88MM on it, the ammo coasts around 1400 credits when I fire around 14 rounds in a match. However, it is not uncommon to score 16,000 credits and 350-400 experience points in a match, when on a premium account (I just spent 2500 gold on a month of premium).
The heavy tanks can be prohibitively expensive to run if you are not on a premium account. My new Tiger, that I am not at all happy with, costs at least 9,000 credits to repair. To quote Moriarty, from the movie Kelly's Heroes, "It's a piece of junk".
My JPIV German TD costs around 4000 credits to repair, and about the same to shoot as my 3601, as the guns are similar long barreled 88MM.
As the number of hit points goes up, the cost to repair follows. The 3601H has 710 hit points, where the Tiger has 1350. The Tiger, not having a lot more armor, and even less in some places, is damaged just as easily, it just takes more to knock it out. The worst case scenario is to have a tank like the Tiger taken out by artillery in one shot, that usually hits 90% or more damage, and costs 11,000 credits to repair. If it happens early in the match, you can have 10,000+ credits of repairs, and only earn maybe 2,000 credits at best. The Tiger doesn't earn as much, so when you have an 8,000 or 9,000 credit repair, and only earn 6,000 to 10,000 credits in a bad match, it loses credits rapidly, even on premium.
I kept my 3601H, my JPIV, and my Pz38H735f, specifically because it can be terribly expensive to run a heavy tank. You may need another vehicle or two in order to play enough to run your heavy. I'll keep the 3601H and the 38H even if I make it to the Tiger II. I may or may not keep the JPIV when I eventually work my way up to the JagPanther, it depends on how the JagPanther does. The Tiger will be sold immediately if I get to the Tiger II.
-
I have a Tiger and Tiger II along with a VK3601 and two teir 2 tanks. I can get out of most fight in the Tiger on the positive side or break even, with the Tiger II after repairs and ammo I'm lucky if i have net gain of any thing. 1 bad round can really mess you up, but i can make a lot with the VK and may sell one of my Teir 2's for a VK3001H and just hold there till the release.
I have a premium account so thats the only way i can run the Heavies all day, other wise I'd be SOL. My good rounds in the Tiger II I'll bring in 30-45k and an avg round about 15-20k. My repairs are usually between 8-12k, been as bad as 14K then add ammo to the cost, about 1,600 i think for AP and 650 for HE.
-
Hummel is the way to go. As long as you put rounds on target, you really don't have to kill the guy to earn credits. I had a good hummel run last night. 1008 Exp, and 40K credit, I didn't kill anyone, and best of all I wasn't even running on premium. Repair and ammo cost for the run was around 17k. So I made 23K credit with standard accounts=)

Everyone should have atleast 1 spg just to earn credits. I run a Hummel. 3601, panzer IV, and a jagdpanzer IV, hummel earns enough to update the rest and fix the repairs. Jagdpanzer is 2nd and the most fun

Do the repair and ammo costs go up a lot as you advance into better tanks?
They do but so far with in reason and as a small %. Basically you get enough to cover the rebuild in a loss and a bit more in a victory. I've bought and then "sold" most of the lower level stuff. As you get to the "better stuff" the arty gets ungodly and you get mixed in with the big boys. Got as Su-76 and tricked it out but sold it. You can put 4-5 rounds in a KV or JS series tank and get nada and the arty gives you no chance to really set up. The PZIIIa is pretty much useless since the quick fire guns are useless and the 50/L42 doesn't to squat vs anything you'll find in the big boy arena. Right now using a maxed out MS-1, pzIIlushe(?) maxed out with an upgunned jagdI. Think I'm just holding till I can get a leopard light tank. Fast well protected for its size and hits hard.

How do the comms work? all text or vox type? I think I've run into mute but thats it...love to hook up with some other AHers in there...got about 3 days in so far so still in noobville. Mostly in shoot and scoot mode since I can't get enough scraped up to get a decent ride. My advice for others is learn what you can. I went soviet early and ditched my maxed out SU-76 (very narrow gun laying with marginal stopping power and no speed) and BT-2. Got the 35t worked it to the 38t for hetzer then sold it, pzIIIa for pzIII (sold) pzIIlushe... so "lost" enough points to have a leapord LT or similiar. The tier 3-4 zone of stuff is tough since your in with the big boys. I agree that learning arty and getting a decent SP ride is a key to building up your toys...
-
You playing as Snaphook? I've seen you in there twice, once on same side, once on the enemy's.

no vox only text, if you want Vox you need vent or some outside voice setup. my name there is whiteman, either roll a Tiger I, Tiger II or VK3601 so i might get you into games that wouldn't be much fun for lower teir tanks.

I'll need to print out the controls too........
-
You'll get the hang of it. Was able to progress up to the 3601h in 3 days. Should be driving a tiger 2 by now minus my moving :( . Bet karaya is at a tiger by now as well.
-
Im on as jdbecks if you would like to add me,
I really enjoy running around in light tanks at 50km+ laughing as everyone tries to shoot you :devil how the hell do you guys even progress past the hertzer? is a POS! and takes forever to get research points!
Arm the Hetzer with the 105mm howitzer,it reloads slowly but will damage anything it hits.Try to find a good spot to hide and ambush others with a couple of quick shots.Buying a camo net is a great addition to your inventory.It adds to your ability to stay concealed and is transferable to other GVs. :salute

Well at the end of 2 days of playing I'm getting pretty fair with the MS-1, best run was 5 kills. Tried the T26 and didn't like it at all, then the Stug, and hated that. Took me half a day of grinding to make enough credits to get the AT-1 bought, updated, and upgunned to the 76mm. I do love one shot sniping someone halfway across the map. :) But it is not fast, and its limited traverse makes mixing it up at close range a quick way to die.
Starting to play with the BT-2, at last a tank with some speed! If only it had some more punch!
Considering going back and trying the German side, really wish the US side was available also.
Do the repair and ammo costs go up a lot as you advance into better tanks?
Put the 45mm on the BT-2, it takes most of the tanks you will be going against down by ~33%, and is pretty accurate as well, even when on the move. Combine that with mad penetration, and you have a winner.

Chuggin round in a pzkpfw IV right now playing peekaboo with tiger II's. Mostly losing, a few times giving them a surprise with my 105mm AP
-
Put the 88 in my 3601, now we re talking. Had a 5 kill 1200xp game
-
I have a VK3001(P). NOt a bad tank. I usually come out about 5-6K ahead every match. Also have a fully upgraded Leopard with 100% crew for scouting.
-
this game can't go full release fast enough, 0-13 tonight and my team seems to get dropped off by the short bus every match.
-
I had a good one this afternoon in my AT-1.
6 enemy left alive, me and an spg on our side.
I managed to pick off 4, the spg got another, then died and the last tank got me just before I could turn and fire. :(
I lost, but they knew they'd been in a battle!
-
I just tried to log on and its recieving an update, American tech tree hopefully. Its also available in Polish and German now aswell.
-
Just the languages :furious
-
Que terrible, am I right? Playing in German while driving a Leopard is pretty fun though, even if I don't understand it...
-
Where can I find the AH group for this?
Been playing WoT for about 2 weeks now in my free time as a stress relief.
-
Who is "navy714"?
-
I know there was a "Navy714" in Navy Field. Have not seen him in WoT.
-
I just tried to log on and its recieving an update, American tech tree hopefully. Its also available in Polish and German now aswell.
I think that the American and British tanks will be in the full release. They might just want to keep it small for the beta.
-
some of the American tree is going to be released soon, according to the WoT forum. heard rumors about it being next week :pray
-
Ok I need some help, so I finally decided to give the game a try after downloading it a month ago, now where do I go to set up my controls & joystick, I can't find it anywhere in the game?
-

Menu (upper left), Settings then go from there. I use the keyboard like an FPS.
The game is more fun than ever.

I clicked on there and didn't see anywhere in there about controls, I go back and have another look.
Edit: Great can't log in at all, just says servers busy try again later, does this happen often with this game?
-
Ok I connected to the game and I still can't find it, I click on the menu button in the upper left hand corner, then I click on settings, a window opens and it has 4 tabs on it, they say Graphics, Volume, Chat, & Reticle and thats it, nothing about controls so is something wrong with mine or am I just not seeing where it's at?
-
f1 tells you what keys do what in game, but i'm not sure you can map them. there's seriously only a few commands anyways, shouldn't be hard to pickup.

Yeah I found it in the game, but does anyone know if you can use a joystick in the game because using the keyboard & the mouse really doesn't work for me as I can only use my left arm?
-
no one I know is using a joystick, mouse and keyboard work well
-
no one I know is using a joystick, mouse and keyboard work well
Yeah but like I said that isn't an option for me, I just hope if they don't support joysticks right now that they do get them supported soon because from what I've seen and been reading about the game play it sound pretty good.

I find it archaic for a game to use only a KB and mouse.

I guess you could say I'm in the mid tiers and struggling.
The higher I climb the more and the bigger tanks I see that are 2, 3, 4 or more tiers above me in battle.
Back in the AT-1 I could figure that half the time I'd be up against tanks of my own tier or less.
With each tier I climb I see the match making getting worse.
Its bad enough trying to face KV's with a SU-76.
But trying to face IS-3's in a SU-85b is even worse.
Any single hit from any tank in the top 2/3rds of the list will kill me.
But it takes 4, 6, 8 or more shots on target for me to do significant damage to them.
Not that I'm complaining, because even a bad battle still puts more credits and XP into my account.
But I would love to see them manage a better job of matchmaking.
Given a choice between waiting 20, 30 minutes for a match against tanks of my tier, or taking my chances on a random match I'd probably go for it. But not having that choice, that makes it harder.
Meantime I'm just one tier from a KV, I only need 15k in XP and 360,000 credits.
I'm having doubts if its worth the grind. I suspect if I actually reach that point I'll see nothing but hummels, ferds and tanks having more armor and bigger guns than I have.
3 times in 3 weeks I've been the top tank on the list, all 3 have happened in the AT-1.
All 3 battles I came out with multiple kills.
The rest of the time, well its 50/50 odds. I'll either be lower middle, or at the very bottom of the list.
If its the latter, then the first enemy that see's me usually kills me with a single shot.
Either way my likelyhood of getting kills is slim, I may do some damage, but that is about as much as I can hope for.
Don't get me wrong, there is much about WoT that is good.
And for the most part I've enjoyed the time spent there.
But how long would you have stayed in AH if 9 battles out of 10 you were in an A6m and the enemy had Tempests and 190d9s?
-
Well I've been managing with just using the KB & mouse, just sucks having to use them one at a time with the only using 1 arm and all, but it's a fun game, I just hope that they get the support for joysticks in the game & soon, I can't believe that it wasn't something that was built into the game from day one, I mean in this day & age of PC gaming could it really be all that difficult for them to put in the programing to get it done, but once they do I'm sure I'll enjoy the game even more.
-
I'm 100% with you ghost. Here's my 2 cents based on my experience and what I gleaned earlier from some of the other AH guys.
Arty is clearly the queen of the battlefield. Biggest "points" for lowest risk and damage. Even my Hummel only takes 1800 or so to repair. Still on the short gun tube so its a frustrating experience.
Also the tricked out pzIII works very well as a scout vs "the big boys" and obviously finds time at the top of the heap occasionally. Building crew experience is important. My pzIII is 98% I think and
it certainly helps bit. I use a lot of "circling attacks" with the aimbot (highlight and right click) vs arty and heavier tanks with a lot of success. Again 1500-1800 to repair vs 9,000-15,000 pts.
My bread and butter is my pzIV, its at 98% also with camo and the periscope thingy. I use it as a stand off sniper early in support of the big guns. Not many kills but a lot of "assists". I've pinged JS-7/4 kng tiger etc
while they were engaged to the point they lost focus and started looking around....giving the other good guys an extra couple of shots. I've gotten 900/20,000 more then a few times in defeat that way.
The two biggest "issues" for me so far are the absolute lack of skill involved (beyond learning the map contours vs arty) and the stupidity of some of the progressions. The class V tank under the Tiger is a good example. It's a POS with far less overall value then the PZIV it replaces. It's 75/L58 is less effective overall then the 75/L70? on the IV and the 88mm is ineffective above medium range from an accuracy perspective. So your less effective "sniping" then in the IV but to use the 88 you need to close with the big boys and can't take the return fire. It's frustrating to have a 12 yr old in a tier 9/10 ride totally ignore you while your parked literally on his tail and then casually rotate his turret around after you've nailed him point blank 4-5 times to inflict 4% total damage. Then when you get the tiger it's got the 75/L70 but is so slow its painful and has a baseline of 8,000 damage and a baseline point total of 4,000 or so till you pop on the 88. Then you need the tracks and turret before you can get the "real" 88mm you need...
On german side pzIII/pzIV and wespe are your "money makers" that allow you to slog up time and frustration permitting.
-
I started playing it but gave up on it last weekend. I got into artillery and was having a blast 1 shotting people in the lower tier brackets. Eventually I made my way up to a SU-26 and got all the upgrades. Even with the credit-costing ammo I'd be lucky to do 5% damage on an enemy tank.
I feel like I must be missing something...
Also tried the tank bracket but kept getting demolished by heavies. I agree that they should work out some balancing issues...impossible to compete in some brackets.
-
One aspect I don't entirely understand is the crew experience level. I saved my "H" crew which was at 91% and swapped them into my tiger. Seems to be a big difference. Got 457/15,796 in a defeat 1st time out with "new" crew. The crew experience is showing as red not white but they seemed to perform up to the higher rating. Certainly a lot more "critical hits" then I'd been getting....anyone know the in's and out's of the crew ratings?
-
Well other than watching the crew gain experience over time, as I grind away I really havn't played with crew options much. Mostly looked like a way to separate you from your gold or credits. I have yet to try moving a crew, probably should have figured out how to do that. When I sold my su-76 to buy the su-85b I probably could have saved my crew and gained 12% experience or more on them.

only thing i know on crew training is if you left or right click on the crew member his profile box will appear. it has a section for training and i believe it is there where you select a tank for them. then you can retrain him for free, train him to 75% for 20k or to 100k for 200 gold. When they hit 100% there is a section with specialties, you can pick one of those for your crew member. Should be camo, repair and fire fighting. an icon will appear next to the guys name when you choose it.
sure the other guys can explain it better.

All your problems sound like they come from both lack of skill and lack of a firm handle on what the game is about.
The tank right below the tiger is widely considered one of the best tanks in the game. That tank the 3601 is huge improvement over the nearly hopeless panzer IV..
It's funny you’re so bad at a "skill less" game. :aok
-
Pz IV isn't that bad, hang out with the Heavies and help them pick off the other teams big guys and us HE rounds on them. no point in charging ahead if your one of the smaller tanks in the match unless your a Leopard or one of the other small fast tanks. take what you can because your not going to win a match by yourself if your in with heavies. keep the heavies clean of the smaller fast tanks and help them knock out the big guys when you come across them.
-
The key to World of Tanks and progressing fast is to simply "hit larger tanks". With the 105mm on the PIV and 3601 you only load HE. As long as you are hitting, you're gaining more XP.
-

Tiger... It's a POS with far less overall value then the PZIV it replaces
Unless you train your crew for the vehicle they are in, they wont perform well... or advance. All tanks suck at their base level, including the VK3601.. A fully upgraded VK3601 is a very good medium..... the thrid best German medium.
As for what you said about big tanks, you have to learn how to fight them. If you were in a pzIV vs an is7 1v1. There's no reason why the IS7 should be able to hit you.. ever. Use HE, track him, and circle him, he'll never be able to get his gun on you. That said, if you're fighting an IS7 as I described you somehow are at the endgame with just the two of you left... tough odds.
Also, you need to learn where tanks are vulnerable. Circling a tank while using your auto aim is noob play and will not give you the best chance of hitting and it certainly wont hit any soft spots. Often, auto aim will aim directly at the front of the turret, typically the toughest spot on a tank.
-
Well I sent a message to the support team asking if they had plans on adding support to the game for joysticks, and their response was that they have no plans to add support for joysticks in the near future, well that really sucks, that was gonna be the only way I would be able to play the game any better then the way I can now which is hard to do with having to let go of the mouse to move the tank.

It's funny you’re so bad at a "skill less" game. :aok
By who?
The PZIV has roughly a 5-6/1 damage to points ratio with the ability to consistency pull 20,000 pt sorties (non premium) even in defeat (if the map breaks your way). The 3601 has significantly more problems in scoring since the 88mm
forces you to close with the big boys and the tank overall is less nimble. My H crew is performing much better in the tiger then it ever did in the 3601. The simple reality is that the H is about the equivalent of a 50 gun frigate. It loses a bit no much mobility and lacks the ability to really take its place in the "line of battle". I got into a slugfest with a ferdinand, JS-4 and Jagdtiger in my tiger earlier. got multiple hits on all and helped my 2 "heavies" more then a bit. At the end of the day we all went down but got 2 of the 3 plus a couple of others...got 3/1 vs my damages and 500+ even in a defeat....3601 was a one and done there vs that type of armor. From your tone I'm guessing your a 12 year old in a tier 9 tank thinking "skill" has anything to do with heavies vs mid tier tanks. The PzIV is a true medium tank that can function well even in the game as modeled. The 3601 is a tweener with very marginal value compared to the tank above and below it...end of story.
-
Also tried the tank bracket but kept getting demolished by heavies. I agree that they should work out some balancing issues...impossible to compete in some brackets.
All tanks are competitive. Not all the tanks in game are intended to be giant killers. The lower tier tanks make good scout killers and scouts. Flying around in a pzIII is a blast, and it's very satisfying to work your way to the enemy rear and blast their arty. Slogging it out with larger tanks is not the role it's suited for nor is it the best way to help your team. No bracket is "impossible to compete"
If you are at the end game and largley outclassed, it just means your team got outplayed...kind of like being in a chess game and you may have just a knight left against a queen and a couple of rooks. You're outclassed but simply got outplayed
-
I only use auto aim when i see a guy moving across a open field and I'm not worried about giving myself away, or someone playing peekaboo from behind objects. besides that it's garbage and not very accurate even with a 100% crew.
When the game goes live i think we will see the end of the small guys matched up with heavies. although using a Hetzer to kill a JadgTiger will be missed.
-
By who?
The 3601 is a tweener with very marginal value compared to the tank above and below it...end of story.
A fully upgraded 3601 will completely dominate a fully upgraded pzIV. The problem with your thinking in the line of battle thing is that in the pzIV, you will be ignored for the most part as a threat until others are dealt with. In the 3601, you have the potential to do real harm against larger heavies so you will be readily targeted as opportunity permits. As with all meds, the 3601 is a shoot and scoot tank, and has no business being in the line of battle.
-
Steve, you helped me improve when I first started. I thank you for that.

im honesly looking foreward to the next wipe, gonna get me a 4502 :devil

Go try reading their forums. It's a very popular tank. Widely considered one of the best money makers in the game. If you fail with it, well then you just fail in general.
THe Panzer IV is bar none one of the worst tanks in the game. A good player in a Panzer III will eat them alive every time.
-
Well other than a fairly nice damage model the game lacks anything else that interests me. I deleted it off my computer.
-
The 3601H maxed out is an excellent tank, provided you use it properly. It is a medium tank that has nearly the armor of a Tiger, and has the short barrel 88. It's fairly quick, and agile. That 88, used correctly, hits most tanks hard. I have one, maxed out. I also have a PzIV maxed out. The 3601H is a better tank, but it draws more attention because it is more feared. The PzIV for me actually has the best performance percentages of all of my tanks, probably because I use it better than the 3601H or the Tiger II. If I used the 3601H more like I use the PzIV, it would easily meet or exceed the performance standard set by the PzIV.
I only bought the PzIV in order to grind to a Hummel. I was surprised by the fact that the PzIV gained credits and experience so rapidly that I was able to max it out and get the Hummel very quickly. I had intended to sell the PzIV as soon as I bought the Hummel. It's staying in my garage, it's a keeper.
If you can't do at least fairly well with a 3601H or a PzIV, you're playing it very poorly. Even I can do fairly well with either, and I'm a horrible player.
The first thing you need to do when you purchase a new vehicle is spend the 20K credits per crew member to move to the 75% training level. The gain is obvious, they will do everything better, and once they get to 75% they perform enough better that they progress rapidly from there on. I often spend the 200 gold to get the commander to 100%, because the crew works better under the 100% commander, and gains their experience faster as well.
When you purchase a new vehicle, you need to have around 200K or so credits, at least, to spare. I prefer to have 300K or better. I'll spend up to 120K to train the crew, and then I'll get every upgrade that may be already researched.
There are tanks in the trees that are only purchased because you have to move past them to get to a good tank or other vehicle.
Avoid auto aim. If you do not know already, auto aim will aim for the center of the plan form presented to your sight. If you are looking at the front, it aims at the thickest possible armor on the tank, usually where there is plenty of slope. A complete waste of a shot unless you're shooting a long 88 at either an artillery piece, a light tank, or a light medium. If you're looking at the side, it'll aim for the base of the turret. Again, unless you're over matched on him, it's likely to be a complete waste. If he's peeking out from behind an obstacle, you'll hit the obstacle. Again, a complete waste. If you're looking at the rear, it will often shoot the base of the turret instead of the engine, another wasted shot.
If you're playing an artillery piece, even if all you do is track the enemy, not only are you racking up damage credits, you're immobilizing him for your team mates. With a decent shot, any artillery piece can score a one shot kill on any other artillery piece. And your first job as an artillery piece is "counter battery". Find their artillery and kill it. It keeps them from killing you or your team mates, and once you do that, so long as your team mates do their job and keep the scouts away, you can wreak havoc on the opposing team. I don't even want the big gun for the Hummel. It's too slow to load and too expensive to shoot.

Steve no question that one on one the 3601 owns the IV hands down. The 3601 (again my opinion) doesn't "scoot" and has less "stand off" capability then the IV does. The IV is much more easily "one timed" but the 3601 is only marginally survivable and often in a very compromised condition. I agree entirely on the HE part but see it as marginally applicable. You need to close considerably to get to the point you can circle. Hard to do vs an unoccupied heavy. I've gone from the drive up point blank and pop em in the butt to circling already vs heavies but map often makes it impractical and a good arty guy will pop you quick even if he's risking a few damage points to his own guy.
A agree fully on the lighter tanks. PzIII/leapord have a place on every battle field. As for auto aim, with a 98% gunner I think its good at long range and use it vs arty in the scouts. Aim manually for HE or peek a boo...

I find it archaic for a game to use only a KB and mouse.
Virtually almost every FPS and 3rd person PC shooter game's main control scheme is mouse+keyboard. For these types of games you can't get a more accurate control scheme than a mouse and keyboard.

I don't understand why you're having trouble doing damage with the 88 on the 3601H when sniping. Compared to the 75 on my PzIV, the 88 on the 3601H does well sniping at a distance.
Stop trying to kill heavies with mediums, unless you're either forced to, or there are a couple of you in mediums working a heavy. Hit and run.
Now, if you have a Russian medium, yes, you can circle a heavy easily, the German mediums are not really fast enough nor are they agile enough.
Snipe at heavies with your German medium, hit them a couple of times and get out. The only way to circle and kill a heavy in a German medium is to make sure you keep him tracked with every second or third shot.
I don't even get in a slugging match with my Tiger II, unless I'm forced to, or I'm fighting something that just can't hurt me without a one in million shot.

A agree fully on the lighter tanks. PzIII/leapord have a place on every battle field. As for auto aim, with a 98% gunner I think its good at long range
Ya, I use autoaim at long distances if the whole takn is visible.
-
The only way to circle and kill a heavy in a German medium is to make sure you keep him tracked with every second or third shot.
Have you played a 3002DB yet?

Have you played a 3002DB yet?
No. I picked up the PzIV last Friday and made it to the Hummel Sunday night. I'm learning the Hummel right now, and working toward the JagdPanther from the JPIV, which is going slowly because I need another 20k experience, and I'm not doing well in the JPIV, so my experience average is way down. I skipped the 3002DB, because the average over all performance didn't look that much better than the 3601H I already had, and I was busy getting the Tiger finished to get to the Tiger II. I am has happy with the Tiger II as I was unhappy with the Tiger. I'm planning to sell my JPIV to buy the JagdPanther, so I don't have to buy a slot. Now wanting to buy another slot, at least right now, is another reason I skipped the 3002DB. I don't want to buy any slots until the US stuff gets here. I'm sort of unhappy that we're not getting a Pershing or an M-18, so my enthusiasm for buying slots is not high.
Right now the PzIV, the 3601H, and the Tiger II are sitting, as I learn the Hummel and grind towards the JagdPanther. And even that has stopped today, because I'm finishing up paper work and research and going racing for the weekend in about 4 hours. So I'm sure I won't have the JagdPanther before Monday night.
By the way, the next update patch has been officially scheduled for the 18th and 18th, next week. It's small, reduced from the original announcement, the teleporting issue is not resolved with this patch. And the next patch after that is still 4-6 weeks away. They are now saying there'll be at least one more soft wipe before the open beta is finished, probably to allow the 15 member teams and the clans.

When I say the IV is "better" I'm basing it on the same observation as Virgil, its the best "earner" I've got. I'm getting more and more 20k runs in it and it always gives me a 3/1 return or better. I don't know if its possible to fight a 3601 the same way. I've got the pzIII/IV/Wespe as my main money makers. I normally get about +35,000 for every cycle. The Leopard is more fun but has a more variable return. It's much more trackable it seems...
I've got the hummel and tiger as my "developmental" rides....

It is possible to run the 3601H the same as the PzIV. It's just that it has more armor (same as a Tiger) and more hit points, so it gets you into the mentality of fighting it more like a heavy. I get hung up on it still, myself.
Now, the 3601H, in the exact same situation, is not going to earn like the PzIV, because it factors out as a much higher tier tank. A maxed out 3601 is classed about as high as a half decent Tiger. When you go into a battle, see where you're ranked on the roster, and you'll notice how high the 3601H normally is, I've been ranks the same or above a Tiger. So it earns like a Tiger, or less, since it can't take as many hits. But if you use the 3601H like a PzIV, you'll survive more often than you will in the PzIV, if you're careful not to allow the extra attention it gets to get you shot a lot more. When you survive, you're more likely to win. When you win you get a 50% bonus, and when you survive a 50% bonus as well. That's how you make a 3601H pay.

Just got to a KV today...been slow going for me because I wanted it to me slow going.
I wish they would neuter the arty though; that horse crap stuff is ridiculous.

All tanks are competitive. Not all the tanks in game are intended to be giant killers. The lower tier tanks make good scout killers and scouts. Flying around in a pzIII is a blast, and it's very satisfying to work your way to the enemy rear and blast their arty. Slogging it out with larger tanks is not the role it's suited for nor is it the best way to help your team. No bracket is "impossible to compete"
If you are at the end game and largley outclassed, it just means your team got outplayed...kind of like being in a chess game and you may have just a knight left against a queen and a couple of rooks. You're outclassed but simply got outplayed
Ok, that makes me feel better, but I'm still confused about the arty...why is it I don't do much damage % with mine, but get 1 shot by other arty? like I said I have a SU-26 with all upgrades. Is it just the SU-26 that is junk?

It's not junk, it's just not that powerful as a low tier arty. It works just fine against lower tier tanks and can be quite a killing machine. A fun piece of arty for a low tier.
Damage by arty varies alot by tiers. You can see the damage of each arty gun via the research tree view, when you click on a vehicle and then click on a gun. A low tier arty might be impotent against IS4, but SU14 will blow up a low tier tank with a close miss.

Can't seem to get in to the game through the Updater Launcher, but opening the game through the main WoT.exe it works. Have been playing for the past 2 hours, slow to get into game (maybe from lack of players?) but I can't complain I guess. :)
-
They're doing server maintenance. I'm betting the launcher, which searches for patches and other updates, is lost without the regular server that runs the website, including the forums.

Damn, I was getting an error when trying to open the game through the launcher so I thought it was a problem with my game so I uninstalled it, now I have to re-download it and install it again.

toaster turret..Get the 107 when you can it's a monster :salute
-
When I'm using the flak type gun on my tank instead of the canon is there anyway to make it not jump so much when firing, I mean will giving my gunner better training improve it, or is that just the way it fires.
-

Yeah almost there with my research today towards the 107...should have skipped the 122 but it does open up some pathways through the medium tanks that try to give the KV a burnt arse.

the KV is one of my keepers, a lot of people dont like it but its one of my money makers and the 107 is a nice gun. The big turret scares the nerds too.
-
a lot of people dont like it
I like it, easy for the 122 on my T-44 to hit :D
-
Ok I have a question, what exactly is "auto aim" and how do I use it?
-
right click on on enemy tank and your turret will track him. shoot when the circle is small

Ahh thank you, that should make things a little easier, I've been doing it manually this whole time then I guess.
-
hopefully when they fix the teleporting tanks we won't need auto aim as much.
-
Exactly. see tank, get all lined up, trigger off shot, tank jumps clean out of line of sight. clean miss, which way did he go george? Especially at longer ranges.
-
A good player in a Panzer III will eat them alive every time.
Yup agreed if there is any open ground the panzer IV is toast 1v1.
As for the best tank in game according to the whines I got last night it has to be the T-44. :devil
@ Humble you say no kill is needed. I'll bet once you stop auto aim with circle strafe you'll feel different. Because to quickly beat a Pz IV with a Pz III auto aim is not the way.
Auto aim is more or less center mass and when in a lesser tank... that just isn't going to do it.
-

just wait till you get the 122 lol. reload sucks, but it kills so much stuff in one hit lol. the best tanks ive got 1 shot so far a T34-85 and an IS-3, both at 100%

At close range sure, but at longer ranges you can't accurately track a tank yet. As for auto aim and circle strafe to me its 50/50. PZIII I use manual mostly with a lot of HE Leopard use AP and auto

I really wish they allowed the use of joysticks with this game, it sucks playing the way I have to, especially since I really like this game a lot, so I'm sure I'd love it if I could play it properly, it's just so hard having to choose between using the mouse or the keyboard.
-

I have the 122 and use it frequently... I just play a different game when I use it. With the 122 its an ambush and move tank, no other tank in the game is as good at it. The 122 lays down the smack and the chassis gets you the hell out to do it again.
Now load up the big 85 and its dog fighter supreme. Just watch as a tracked tigerII's turret tries to keep up.

woot just got my panzerIV with that giant turret and giant gun also currently messing around with the Su-26

New update is out and US tanks are in.
-
Yup, US tanks and two new maps. I've actually had fun playing WoT. Fun to jump in and get in a few quick battles.

-
For some reason my graphics look all weird now, like all wavy, kinda like it would look out of a window in a rain storm with water running down it, anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
-
Enjoying the US iron, and it seems much much smoother shooting at tanks at a distance now. Seems like they really did fix the warp's.
-
Lag was a nightmare last night, few guys got killed by friendlies during the lag jumps.
-
Warping fixed... Arty nurfed a tad and American tanks.
Oh and Autoaim isnt as goo.
All in all a great patch.
The M4 Sherman is fun as hell and as good as close to as good as the T34, and way better then the Panzer IV.
-
tried auto aim once and notice it was trailing the target by about 5 yards.

Yeah it doesnt work very well at all with the slower canons like the Short 105 and 75. Nor at a distance if they are moving. Without the warping through aiming Manualy isnt all that hard.
Still works well close up, and for the scouting tanks through.
-
The lower velocity is a real factor. Especially on artillery shooting at long ranges. It threw my timing way off on my Hummel when shooting nearly across the map. Haven't had a chance to play any of my tanks yet, maybe later. Spent all of my free experience to get down the U.S. tree a ways, not far enough that I want to buy anything I've researched just yet.
-
With the new us tanks add i'm find the us tanks to be fun:) the auto aimworks much better at long rangers because they have taking out the warping crap.

Autoaim never had a problem to track the warping tanks, which was amusing, and regardless of the warping you could still hit them at their actual position and not where they're seen. What I noticed of the autoaim is that with higher velocity guns it was leading too much whereas lower velocity weapons had a much better success to hit moving vehicles from the side.

I have had problems with the autoaim only had to use it on the warping tanks now i dont even need it :)

anywhere were I could find a list of every current tanks in WOT?

Often times I'm lazy and use autoaim - mainly when shooting at stationary targets at a range or vehicles coming at or away from me. Eliminates the possibility of mouse jerk :)
At close enough range I of course use manual to aim a particular spot.

I installed the game, but do not get a confirmation email. Any idea why? Is it restricted to some countries or is the service just not that good?

I think they send it out in batches. Have you downloaded it recently?

Ugh this is horrid.
This new patch screwed two BIG things for me. Im not even bothering to play until they fix them.
1- Winxp64bit memory leak. Before patch I used Large Memory Address program to force the thing to use my 8gb ram. It worked perfectly. Not a single crash when LMA was used. After the patch however, it crashes real bad after every battle.
2- US SPG major nerf. Apparently in the same code adjustment the devs made so that US tanks could no longer depress their barrels so much they also glitched the SPG's gun... so now, the SPG when taking long range shots in sniper mode will have the shell land outside the aimed circle...and when in TD mode firing at a target just 5m away, either auto-aim or not, the barrel will wildly swing 90 degrees up and lob the shell into orbit. USSR and German SPG's do not have this issue.
There's a third thing this new patch has brought about that is killing my enjoyment of the game... every battle is now a mass of heavy tanks. Mediums and Lights and TD's are simply disappearing because a heavy tank does it all, almost as fast, with bigger guns and better armor.

I've found recent lag has made it almost unplayable, I don't think they were expecting to get 13000 on the American server daily, I might try the European server later.
