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.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

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.

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.

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.
