Re: World of Tanks

The funniest example of someone driving noob tanks constantly is this guy . Yes, that's 23k battles. Yes, that's more than half of them in the T-26. Yes, he has amazing stats despite as far as I can tell being terrible in the higher tier stuff. I mean just look at that kill count. Marxist is actual...

Re: World of Tanks

Are the Russian SPG's worth sticking with? Oh yes, they are. After SU-5 you have SU-8 which plays similarly to -5 but better in every way. After that, you will jump into SU-14 that, when upgraded, has a monster 203mm howitzer and you will sometimes one-shot even Tier VIII heavies. Following SU-14 c...

Re: World of Tanks

Hmm - what would be best to fill the third equipment slot on the T-34-85? I've already vents and rammer but debating what else to put in. Get gun-laying drive if you have credits to spare. Less time zeroing in = less time exposed to enemy fire before retreating back into cover. Toolbox is also usef...

Re: World of Tanks

No, hold off on 7.1 for a bit! I'm still about 70K XP away from the T34 :p. Well, okay, I have enough free XP and gold to get the T34 if really needed, but I'd like to save the gold for other possible purchases. No need to rush, you can get that 70k in a week of casual playing. 7.0 is at least a mo...

Yay!
Wait until you get M4/105, 30mm more gun, twice as much fun!

In other news, M6A2E1 Compensator still kicks ungodly amount of backside and prints credits. Not Lowe-level, but not far off.

Re: Looking for a Stealth Fighter

Yeah, Testor also put out an 'Aurora' which was basically a triangle with jet engines; not sure how much of that was conjecture and how much was based upon what was actually known about the F-117 at the time. Always liked the lines of that one, although in retrospect the engines it had sitting on i...

Re: Looking for a Stealth Fighter

Does anyone have any idea where that design originally came from, and if it had an official name/designation? AFAIK, design came from scale model company Testors in 1986, and most other "F-19" models were directly inspired by it. Testors F-19 "Stealth Fighter" Very similar conce...

Re: World of Tanks

If you buy a Lowe your silver money problems will be gone forever. But XP will still be a pain to grind. A word of advice: price of Lowe is going up, so get one now if you want. The Hotchkiss (Pz38h735f) is a fun tank and a beast if properly driven. Good for occasional solo-stomping when you get fr...

Re: World of Tanks

Bought some gold. Are any of the premium tanks worth it? Or should I concentrate on using it to boost experience? Depends on how much you bought. Pz38h735(f) is definitely worth it for farming free experience, and it doesn't costs much (750, I think), but if you bought only a limited amount of gold...

Re: World of Tanks Beta

Ok getting more than 4 kills is pretty hard with this gun. But a least I am able to get kills in a tier7 match. No, not really that hard if you are near the top of the food chain and your team has at least someone willing to support you. KV with 152mm is my favorite vehicle, one-shotting other KVs,...

Same here. Just avoiding the 0-post-user pogroms.
