Matilda IV was sold in rage also...


A tier VI TG...my first...watched the replay, noobed it in parts, but got away with it...the gun might take a week to aim - but it's got power...

News, I gather the colours are red=nooby, yellow=average, green=good etc...4K=games played?


yup that seems right -you also press tab and at the top it shows the predicted chances of winning, though Ive been in battles with a 91% chance to win that have been lost -i think the best thing is the damage tracker and the last seen spots on the mini map

Oh.  Whoops.  Maybe we should have pointed that all out to you.

Need to remember that:
- 6th sense and BIA are Perks so only work at 100%.  BIA also only works if every crew member has it.
- Best bet is to use a skill that works straight away then when that gets to 100% retrain the crew member in 6th sense or BIA (cost 200 gold) - in TDs it's Camo to 100%.

For TD crews I use this:

Commander -
Camo - at 100% switch to 6th Sense
Camo - at 100% switch to BIA
Camo -

Driver -
Camo
Clutch breaking - at 100% switch to BIA
Clutch Breaking -

Gunner -
Camo
Amourer - at 100% switch to BIA
Amourer - at 100% switch to Deadeye

Loader -
Camo
Repairs - at 100% switch to BIA
Repairs

- Also worth noting that skills and Perks DO translate to any tank not just premiums despite what in-game states.  Your crew just runs at about 85% while skills work - 'ghetto premium'.

I have just remembered I have a 6th sense commander sitting in my T-34-85 (ex-Russian light crew) and I never use it.  Might retrain them as a 2nd Russian TD crew instead of running my Su-85b crew in every Russian tank destroyer.



And TD Radio Operator I go Camo, Situational awareness and BIA, (although not got that far yet).


Today

Wins: 42
Defeats: 32
Kills: 62
8 Crash to desktops resulting in 3 deaths and I'd say one lost match.

Got the Jagdpanther II rather than Ferdy as it's a bit nippier.
Bought the SU-85b as I'm sick at how slow the French tier 3 footspa is for wanting a bash at tier 3.  I know you guys rave about it, it's pretty good.

Sold the bathtub - just not playing it.

Playing my Soviet Med tanks cuse it's Ruski month. God I love the T-28.

Tier 1 is Cunningham
Tier 2 is Pj I
Tier 3 is FCM or SU-85B
Tier 4 is T-28
Tier 5 is StuG and T-34, (occasionally KV-1)
Tier 6 is Hellcat and T-34-85
Tier 7 is Jagdpanther
Tier 8 is Jagdpanther II

Projects - Will get a British Matilda again
                T-43 Soviet Med
                American SPG at some point
                JagdTiger


Must say WT is running WOT a very close 2nd. Just got my Spitfire!!

The T-150 is a dam good slugger, that likes a good slugout.  Wasn't keen on it at all at first.  But really growing on me now...a keeper...maybe?

Indeed it is Stevo.  Well played a T-150 is a cracker there are some poorly driven ones though.

You sorted all your crews out yet?

Sold my noob KV-1, and then put that crew inside the T-150, retrained to 100%.  Retrained my Matty BP super crew for the upcoming Black Prince project...my original Matty tier IV crew can take over any future Matty BP missions...

M7 Priest - What a blast. 3 times played 6 kills and 5 badges, master-gunner, cool-headed, reaper, mastery-first class and one other

3 kills out of arty mode who needs a TD? This surprised the hell out of my victims.

Not lost my old touch in the SPG.

It almost seems they've tweeked something since the nerf. Hitting the spot can still be a bit arbitrary and aim still takes a lifetime. But damage is actually pretty good and the range is amazing.

Still think they broke the SU-5 (I tried that again a couple of weeks ago before selling it and found it still rubbish), and the french SPG's I had sucked also. The American ones however rock.

Yeah I got one too. First game 5 kills. Denied the 6th as he was just too far away. A handful of medals again. That Derp gun is insane.

The Priest has been fun pity I've been placed with inept teammates

Derp?

No.  57mm.  Snipe snipe snipe.  Only things I derp in are Hetzer and Perry the SAu.

Need about 3000 XP on the T82 to elite it from scratch in about 8 battles.  Average XP 472.

Nah prefer the 105mm Howitizer. Fire a shot, kill tank, walk to kitchen, make cup of tea, return and wait for it to reload. Fire shot, kill tank, knit jumper, wait for it to reload. Fire shot, etc, rinse and repeat.

 

Since selling the Bathtub I need at least one slow derper and I find surviving in the T-82, (tier 3),  easier waiting for the reload than the S35 CA.

The S-35 isn't so much Derp though as it's a real tank gun not a Howitzer. Mind you I've switched back to the 17 pdr on that as well,

Had a 5500 plus experience battle in it the other night,<br><br>

Just awful tonight. Four losses in a row. All massive defeats.

Got back to 4-4 then lost a tight one where i did double the damage of our next best. Quit at that point.

Bad during the day also. El Halluf south end, me in Priest with another SPG and a TD we where destroyed by a wolf pack that came up shore side. A KV-1 sat in the middle near us and did nothing apart from sniping. Yes you got 4 kills but if you are going to play like a TD then get a TD.

I've been tempted to try this game but I hear it can get expensive if you want to get the right stuff.

 .

Not really it just takes longer to get higher tanks. You can progress perfectly well without gold or only buying a little.

I was paying around US$5 a fortnight, sometimes $10. $5 gets you 1100 gold.

250g gets you a days premium account which increase the rate you earn experience and silver. I'd only buy this a couple of times a week if I knew I was going to be playing for more than 3-4 hours a day.

Gold can buy you Premium tanks - nice but not essential, I only have one.

Premium Ammo - nice again but not everything and I rarely use it.

Fast tracking a tank crews training - I do spend extra on this.

 

Other stuff permanent camo, (meh you can hire camo with silver which you make in game), dismounting equipment - (use this occasionally). Increasing barracks where your crews live, (occasionally), converting XP to free XP - (useful at times).

 

 

I think The other guys buy more, Vickmeist actually buys it less than I do, just to get the odd prem account now and then.

It's a great game

Just remember most of us, Ubergunner aside, (he might even be on now), are on the SEA server.

If you like playing computer games you have to try it.

With the black prince you have to take the good with the bad. The gun is OK. The armor is OP. It all depends on tiering. If you get mostly 8's your stuffed. If its mostly 7's you'r ok. If its a few sevens and everything lower, its god mode.

Sure, one-shotting a Churchill I may be fun in the KV-2, but there's just too many potato scores with her.  Really, the T-150 has to be the best tier VI Soviet heavy.  It can do it all.  Or am I world clarsh?  So proud of the dudes as the march forward to 100% "Brothers in Arms"...

The radio man has camo...that's from my KV-1 noob days...
