World of [Spanks] Tanks

[Thaedael]

Since we were getting off topic in the role playing section. Who here plays world of tanks?

I am a pure german player, got my e50, e75, gw tiger, jtiger all unlocked. Buying them is another task. Currently driving a Tiger II, Panther II, Panther I, Gw panther, Ferdinand, german hotchkiss, jagdpanther, leopard, 3001.

Give me a tank, some two steps from hell, and a rush down the plains, and I'll give you a replay of the 'Battle of Kursk'

[Thaedael]

My old account got banned because I caused a lot of drama saying russians were better due to favoritism, ironically I was top tier Russian player and was one of the best. Since then I went to the (then) underpowered germans. I prefer the finesse game a lot, angling the armors, long range sniping, and the like.

Working towards the Jagdtiger at the moment, though I have ADD. I really like the Tiger II, and want to grab an E75 because it is a better Tiger II, but the clan needs arty (GWTiger/GWTE) but I want the Jagdtiger before the branch splits, or I will end up again like I was with Tiger II (chasing tier 9 tanks forever). That being said it's all fun either way. The patch is taking forever to download though.

i remember being accused of hacking once.

i was playing my M-41 teir 5-6 SPG playing a teir 10 game. the E-100 i hit once accused me of somehow hitting him 5 times within 5 seconds. mind you my friend was right next me playing as well and my M-41 has a reload rate of 3 rounds a minute. so there was no way i was hacking i play honestly, and another funny thing in that game was a teir 7 light french tank was ran over by a Ferdinand while the Ferdinand was backing up

[Thaedael]

With the new french artillery and autoclips, it's going to be like that soon enough. Though their damage seems to be low from what I see on the website. That being said official patch notes said they added two maps in, and took out komarin and swamp from the official rotation. For those of you who don't know which is which.

Komarin is the map that has the bases on the sides, and you have a road leading down the middle surrounded by water (infamous for being a camping map and with tank traps fucking over small tanks)

Swamp is self explanitory and is one of the newer maps.

[dndman997]

yeah and i liked swamp , i carried and won the game with my M5 stuart on swamp, just charged to the flag and drove around in circles

[Thaedael]

I was going to say, as a scout tank it's my favorite map. I am an ace in the leopard (means top 1% of exp earners)

[dndman997]

mmhmm but im nowhere near the next teir of light tanks which is the chaffee

[Thaedael]

Chaffe is a hard hitting fast tank. It has many flaws, but of all the high tier scouts, I like it the most.

[dndman997]

aside from my M-41 i love my RamII especially with 100% crew with various crew skills that make it accurate while moving in circles around tanks. i killed a Lowe with it

[Thaedael]

Shit, as of this patch you lose your ace rating if new tanks were added. Thats lame as hell -.-

[dndman997]

awww i need to go to my friends so i can play some more

[dndman997]

very nice my friend has pulled the same feat with his KV-2

[Thaedael]

That is an old shot, from when the tiger I got lit on fire every shot, every model would die, crew would get knocked out, and of course, the cannon was much shittier than we have now. That being said, KV-1 with derp guns would one shot it all the time. These days the new long gun puts us way further away.

[dndman997]

tigers to me are a pain to take out, unless im in my ramII or M41

[Thaedael]

I'll show all the weak spots later. Game finally updated, playing the new modes now =).

[dndman997]

ugh im not at my friends house. my computer is a decade old dinosaur

[Thaedael]

Well everyone spawns in different areas now it looks, and the bases tend to be in the center forcing movement. I love the new spawns and the new capping areas make the game feel all new again.

[dndman997]

very nice
