So today i finally got off my lazy butt and picked up where i left off in WoT. Anyone else play lately? I guess they finally fixed most of the balancing issues, as my M3 Lee/BT-7 arent being thrown in with IS-3's and T32's. Also, is there a clan/company that all the AH-ers play in?

3 days ago, logged on, got killed by a tank that disapered at point blank range twice. Games spotting system is still broken.

Yes, the '1st Flame Warriors Division' [FW]
I played every day for the better part of the year. Gave it up about 3 months ago or so. Computer was having a hard time playing it, and I just got bored. I love Aces High in the fact that it can be 2-3 v 1 and if you're good, you can still win. Getting ganged in WoT is a death sentence.
To clarify though, I did not quit because I don't like being ganged, just didn't turn out to be "my thing".

I thought that clan name looked familiar, just about how many people are in it?
EDIT: nvm. i looked it up, almost 90 people. but tier 7+? screw that.
-
I have a T34 (heavy US), a Slugger TD and the M40/43 SPG.
The T34 is so much garbage I've stopped playing the game altogether because of it. Im just waiting for them to make it into a premium tank and give me the M103.
Slugger is fun but the matchmaker is so forked it keeps putting me vs. E75s and other tier 9 and 10s.
M40/43 is joygasm gallore. Past 500m it takes off half of most tank's HP per shot and inside 500m by using AP rounds, it can 1-shot anything tier 8 and below...and give Tier9's and 10's a true WTF??? moment as 80% of their HP vanishes XD in one shot.

Why? You need Tier 9 and 10 to even have a chance of making it in clan wars.

ive fought in a few tier 5/6 clan wars and won. not to mention id have to no-life this game for about 4 months to get past tier 8 on what im currently sitting on.
BTW i dont do clan wars that often any more because of all the "W3 n33dz t3h T13R 10 T4nKz to W1n!!!" idiots.

SPG's are fun, especially the M7 Priest and the Hummel. i love scaring the crap out of tier 7 tanks when i 1 shot them with my Hummel. :lol
Tank destroyers are the easiest to 1 shot with Hummels, they tend to stay still and wait for them to be hit. (SU-100's arent as good as you think!)
-
I prefer Tank Ace.
It is by far the most realistic tank combat simulator out there now.

Ive nocked out tiers 7-9 tanks with my sherman 105mm during the Beta. Highest tier kill i got was on a Maus with it. (Granted, i dont think the guy who had it knew what he was doing, because he only shot at me twice, and kept running into buildings)

A clan of tier 5s and 6s will not beat a clan of tier 9s and 10s.
Tyrannis, almost all of the tanks in there are capable of killing every other tank. a 105mm Sherman can easily take out a low % Maus.

He was only 98% when i engaged.
Im not saying an entire clan of tier 5 tanks can beat higher tier clans. Im just saying don't count a tank out just because its a lower tier.
-
Heh, sorry, but a Sherman will not take on (and beat) a Maus 1v1 like that. Again, almost any tank is capable of destroying any other tank depending on the situation. In this case, it must have been a multi v one.

horse crap. that maus couldnt have been that stupid, and you needed to have at least 5 other guys on it aswell.

Nope. forget the name of the map. It was one of those urban city maps. the one with the train yard. He fired at me twice, missed both times, and kept driving forward. I just got behind him and kept blasting at his 6 with HEAT rounds while he kept driving. fired about 7 heat rounds, then normal AP rounds the rest of the time. Idk what his deal was, but he didnt know how to use the mause.
Someone had hit him before me tho, because his health was 98% when he drove past me.

The 105 sherman doesnt have AP rounds...
i smell BS.

*grabs popcorn*
mmm man this is getting good... :aok

While it is possible to kill a Maus with a Sherman's 105, it's very unlikely it was taken 1v1 and lost unless it was a bot. Also, that map sounds like Himmelsdorf.
I had a good bit of help for this one, but man was it hilarious:

Hint: That's a VK2801 (Tier 5 Light) with those kills. :P

Typo, trying to fly in the AvA and type on the BBS at the same time. gotta stop trying to multitask.

the map was Ensk. but what gun are you using on that hombre? the VK2801 already does tier 10 some trouble, but my god.

oh im sure that was a typo.
why did you say you used 6 HEAT shots, then 7 HEAT shots? why not just 13 HEAT shots instead?
im still smelling BS.

Ensk, Himmelsdorf, whichever. I saw "Train Yard" and though of Himmels. :)
Both have Train Yards on one side or another:

I use the short 105mm on the VK2801. Load 85% worth of HE and they all fall soon enough. Bounces plenty at an angle on the Maus but when he has other T9-10s to worry about the 2801 can get the perfect rear shots.

the 105 your talking about, is the one that i 1-shot StuG's and M4E8's with on my Hetzer, that thing is a BEAST. thing is, its pretty hard to get behind a tier 7/8 with the hetz. :bolt:

If I can flank people with a T95 anything is possible. :P

if you can flank just 1 tank with a T95 and NOT be seen and have them fire at you, then you are freaking good! :lol

I am in 1st Flame Warriors, run by Bodhi.
Clan Wars is the end game. When the game was new, there were Clan Wars with lower tiers in them.
Not any longer.
That means gold ammo, the right consumbable mix, and the best module mix for what you intend to do.
Actual land ownership on the world map is the goal and there are few who just give it up.
You have to go big or go home.
The good news is .. its not all about Clan Wars for most of us.
Some call it a grind while they progress thru the tiers .. I just enjoy blowin stuff up.
I like runnin my M3 Stuart with the 20mm ..it's a *blast*
(and besides, the Ghost says I'll win .. LOL)
I also enjoy runnin my PzIV in late Afrika Korps gear ..the 75 with the small turret.
My E-100 with the 150mm .. oh my.
BOOM Hiyadoin!!
..and so many others .. all fun and learned a bit of the history on the way.
-Frank aka GE (ya, they only made two type 95's, neither of which saw combat .. among others)

dont have a means to do so at the moment. does premium give you anything that the free version doesnt offer that is substantial to the game? i can look you up on teamspeak though irregardless and take any advice. been a while since i used teamspeak and longer since i downloaded and set it up.I play.. man the game is a ton of fun.

ill probably look you up ingame too for the sake of more info and help

premium gives you 50% more xp and credits. Best tank if you are new? Marder, no question. Since rediscovering it, 4+ kills every time i use it, not kidding.
