World of Tanks

This afternoon before league meeting I killed 2 tank destroyers (side shot them in passing gear) and an arty piece all in the same game I also took out the Russian A20 from a side shot and disabled a heavy tank destroyer with a side shot critical hit and detracked hit our arty finished him off. However a heavy that was defending their flag got me since I was sitting on their flag pad fighting the TD. Never been one for a dull time.

I love the hell out of my little M-22 Locust.

I rampage all over the place in that thing, even killed a Pz IV with it singlehandedly. Killed a lot of TD's and arty too, but mostly lights and mediums. Even shanked an M4 once.

You want some good fun, though?  Grab a Leopard (fully upgraded, of course).  I have bounced some really high-tier shells with that thing, lol.

I am working on the Panzer IV at the moment, however, I plan to eventually fill out the entire tech tree. Since I discovered that you can sell all the equipment that you have removed from the tanks when upgrading it which helps with purchasing power. Once you do this the tech that is on the tank will show as reserved and has a red color on the panel. I am about three games away from having the research money for the Panzer IV. Last night on the last drop for the night I finished well I took out a Medium and rolled out to the enemies base and killed an arty unit and a tank destroyer ending the game with a 3 kill streak. The other team had three we had three myself an arty unit and a Hetzer. The Hetzer and I moved into the enemies base and he was taken out after he killed one and I got the other two with a frontal assault thereby winning the game. Good Times LOL

The Panzer IV is pretty good for its tier, especially with the 75mm L/70 gun.  Unfortunately, you have to use that hideous Darth Vader turret to fit said gun (or the 105 derp gun from the Hetzer), but it is very much worth it.  It ends up making the tank an excellent sniper.

Also, I just got my E75 fully upgraded, aside from the top engine...that thing is a beast, lol.  I was in one of those "hold back the tide" situations where I was the only person on my team who went down a particular path...opposing me were an IS-4, a pair of Tiger II's, a Jagdpanther, an M6, and a VK3006DB.  They seemed to think there was something behind me, because they would not just rush/flank me.  That said...I think I bounced about 60-70 shots from the lot of them before they finally managed to kill me.    Meanwhile, the rest of my team did the lemmings thing and steamrolled everything on the other side of the map, lol.

Oh, and by the by...I have noticed something interesting with the E75: shells that bounce off your tank have a chance to hit other parts of your tank, depending on their trajectory.  For example, I had a spotless tank in a match earlier, and the very last person alive on the other team managed to get a shot off; that one shot left a bounce mark on the upper glacis plate, AND a secondary bounce mark on the front of the turret.  So, just something to watch for, if you have strong chassis armor but weak turret armor.  Not sure why I never noticed this before, lol.

Yup, shot traps do exist, if you see a Tiger II with the basic turret (the one that hasn't got a flat front) aim slightly below and to the side of the gun, unless the shot penetrates, it'll bounce down on the rather flimsily armored top.

Oh and don't get too used to the E-75 performing well, I suspect it won't be long until it (and the other E-series tanks) get hit by the nerf hammer

[CHHš Aethon]

Yeah, especially the E50...a medium tank with 1,200 hp?  LOL

I have the Panther II right now; I hope I can get to the E50 before the nerf hits, so I can at least try it.

[«Çߧ» Trooper_Thorn]

Do not forget the 500hp engine in the Leopard, makes that thing like a Ferrari on the battlefield good armor and good gun makes it one severe headache for other lights and some mediums. I now have the Panzer IV researched and I am about 40k away from buying it and my current tank is 733T and crew is at 80% or better and I have crewmen in barracks that are at 76% for lights. When I buy the IV I will run them through the training for that tank so I do not have to start at the bottom with crew for my new tank.

Ok, i folded and am now playing . . gotta say, the 75mm Howitzer does have an awfully satisfactory sound and sometimes even effect o.O

i always got satisfaction firing my marder II's 10cm? gun, a giant bang, cloud of smoke and one tank reduced to scrap.

[Stahlseele]

yeah, i tried both Tank Destroyers and Artillery, but i need a turret i can swivel, or i can't make it work <.<

[=KoS= Tripod]

Russian tier 3 arty or 'merican tier 5-6 TD

[CHHš Aethon]

The T30 will 'soon' be transferred to the tank destroyer tree, becoming a tier 9 tank destroyer with a turret.   I personally enjoy mine, even as a tier 10 heavy at the moment.  It is rather soft when it comes to hull armor, but if you can stay hull down often enough, everything (except arty) will bounce off the front of the turret.

Oh, and it can one-shot a KV-3. 

[Stahlseele]

fapp YOU M3 Lee . . fapp YOU IN THE EYE!

[Askis]

As a little hint if you're playing TDs or sniping a lot, you can turn off "vehicle vibration in sniper mode" so your reticle won't jump up after each shot, allowing you to stay on target better.
Accuracy reduction remains the same and your aim will still be jolted around by hits from enemies though.
