World of Tanks - Page 18

Friendly fire really needs addressing, it should be on reflect so whoever does the damage takes it. As I just had someone go and TK 3 ppl right off spawn before anyone reacted and killed him (I was one of those -_-).

This latest small patch is funny, the cap flags are now Christmas trees.

EDIT: Companies are apparently fixed, confirmed?

That would just kill the game for me. I hate games that do things like that for friendly fire. Rapes the realism.

I have not noticed any huge friendly fire issues really, sometimes people accidently shoot or ram someone but never anyone abusing it on purpose. AFAIK people get banned at a decent speed when they purposely FF.

Fair enough about the FF, anyone got any tips on where to target a KV (other than from behind) for engine/ammo rack damage? As Im hitting KV's with 5+ HE rounds critting most times and just doing stupidstuffl ike track dmg but no actually HP damage. (Stug L70)

Stug is awesome [image loading]

Got my Jpgpz now, it is kind of suck. Not really a match for same tier (6 or higher) vehicles I'd say. Hope the grind to the jpgpanther will pay off ^^

Tbh Jpgpanther should be the best German TD in the game, its better than the other two (historically)

Historically the IS-7 should have 30mm front armor. This game isn't a simulator.

Besides Jagdtigers were insane IRL as well, they just couldn't deal with air strikes or not breaking down.

I think it's pretty much 100% that they will accept you. Just wait couple of days. Also there is free keys on certain gaming sites, one of which I got my betakey

Life, SuHoSin, Super, Seed and First fighting!

The grind is just so horrible at tier 7+. Going up against T-54s every game with my noob DB.

What Tyr posted example of clan wars IMO will be.

Also, hells yeah:

Yesterday, the peak concurrent user number on the Russian server reached a whopping 74,536. Wargaming.net is calling this a new world record for the maximum number of users playing concurrently on the same game server. In the past, CCP Games has claimed a world record for EVE Online based on the peak concurrent users in a single game universe without the use of sharding or instancing. Although 74,536 beats EVE's latest personal record of 60,453, it's known that Second Life broke the 75,000 barrier in 2008 and peaked at just under 90,000 concurrent users in the same game universe the following year. If World of Tanks keeps growing at the rate it is, however, it seems set to eventually top that total and potentially secure a world record of its own.

Tyr, what is your opinion of the Panther II, is it a T9 tank worth getting, or is it just like the other T9 tanks and that the costs of owning the tank far outweigh playing them? How is the stock and the grind, is it like the 3001, which was super horrible, or more like 3002 DB, much more usable?

Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Well I don't have any money problems really, whatever the tank is. Same for Panther2. Repairs are like 20k for destroyed and a victory brings me like 30k if I didn't do anything. I have to watch out for ammunition though as I have a pretty good rate of fire and at $1200 a round it quickly becomes expensive.
It balances out though and I don't think I lost money so far.

The research path is extremely stupid though. The stock gun is a shitty tier5 or something 75mm and you have to buy both new tracks AND new turret to be able to mount the OLD long 88 (best Panther 1 gun) when for the t54 for instance you get a BETTER gun than the best gun of t44 as stock gun.
Anyway, once you grind those ~50k xp to get the long 88 it becomes playable. Prior to that you're useless, considering you're matched against very high tier opponents.
Once you grind the additional 60k xp to get the 105mm, it becomes actually really awesome. :D

Panther 2 has become my favorite tank to play at the moment. You're fast (55 km/h top speed with pretty good acceleration), you have a lot of HP (1800), and a freaking awesome gun (in my opinion the best medium gun in the game as was long 88 before the arrival of t9 meds) : 7 rof, 220 pen, .3 accuracy and freaking 390dmg per shot. It's literally almost as good as any t9 heavy gun. With 3 more shots per minute.
So yeah, I can solo t8 heavies without any problem and kill t9 heavies easily (I can actually solo 4502s as they can't turn their turret fast enough to get me if I turn around them at close range and kill him like that if he doesn't get any support). T10 heavies are also killable, especially is7s who have shitty side and rear armor. Mauses ding a little more often but it's fine too.

Anyway, yeah, it's worth the grind in my opinion. So far T9 meds have proven to be really good tanks.
