Ghetto edit: I noticed you carried a lot of HE. Tier 2 is about the last time where that will work out for you, because it will very rarely penetrate you will do a tiny fraction of the listed damage, and enemies will be able to basically ignore the fact you are shooting them. At most carry one HE s...

So I upgraded the gun on my SU-5 to one of the howitzers, and holy shit. Amazing damage, but only when I actually land a hit. And considering the aim and load times, hits are few and far between. I'm honestly thinking of switching back to the 76mm. I know I have to get used to it, since the aim and ...

So I'm in Australia for the next 7 months, is there anyway I can move my account over to an Australian server so I can play without lag spikes killing my connection every few minutes? Not without making a tech support request. I'm told that they don't often allow people to move server regions, so b...

Are you taking the time to aim? I've never had that problem, even with the relatively inaccurate howitzers, unless I was using an SPG or going for an extreme range shot.

So I traded my M2 Medium for the M3 Lee, finally. I actually like it. This is probably because I prefer TDs anyway, so it's no sweat to treat it like one. Hell, I just got done with a 7 kill game . We lost, though. The last enemy unit, a T49, killed me and then captured our base, with only an M41 on...

Heehee, just had an excellent game in my UE 57. http://imageshack.us/a/img571/2584/39pf.jpg So an AT-1, a couple of lights, and I went down the western road while the rest of the team fanned out to cover the village and field. I got myself some kills, and slowly the teams were whittled down to me, t...

Whoops, that was the thumbnail.

So. Uh. This has never happened to me before.


Wow. 15-0, in 2:54.

Too late, I already bought the wrong gun. Oh well, it's "only" a couple thousand XP.

So! Traded my Med III for a Matilda. Wow, this thing is slow. Stock gun has decent firing rate, at least.

Not, really. It's a synthetic morphine, and has been used medically because it's relatively low on nausea and other side effects, and is like 8-10 times as powerful as morphine. Broomstick is right, krokodil is horrible because the sequence involved in making krokodil involves taking codeine-contai...

Hate it when that happens. And always when I'm in my Hetzer, so of course it's a one shot. But oh man, I had a terrible run with my UE 57 yesterday. I was doing about as well as I usually do, but my teams were all shit, and I'm nowhere near good enough to carry the team, especially in this dinky lit...

Any decent crosshair mod will give you, either numerically or via colors, your penetration chances. But I use just vanilla XVM myself, as well as j1mb0's aiming circles and strategic SPG panel. Other than that, my only mods are Girls und Panzer mods, which I doubt you care about.

To sort of add onto what Vendetta said, armor is mostly only ever effective if you're against some poor schmuck 2 tiers below you, and even then they can still knock out your track and leave you vulnerable to everyone who can reliably penetrate your armor. But turning this around, this is where your...

If you think your tank is made of paper, that's usually a sign to hang back and gang up on targets with people. It's why I like TDs, because I'm not confident in my ability to run around and engage at close range. Also, auto-aim targets center-mass, so if your target is peeking up over a ridge you'l...

Traded my Marder for a Hetzer, finally. Holy shit, I love the 105 mm gun on this thing. Even the AP rounds will pretty much one-shot everything below a tier 4 heavy. Also, I have decided that I hate the Lorraine 39L SPG. Seriously, a 22 sec reload time, with shit splash? Considering how accurate SPG...

Wow. I can't believe that worked. So the map was Ensk, and it was down to me in a Medium II, an LTP, and two SPGs against a T-46 and an LTP. All of us except the SPGs were capping, except our team had taken some damage earlier from a defense attempt, so the enemy team would have finished before us. ...

Huh. Micheal Keaton, Gary Oldman, and Samuel L. Jackson? I thought that was Nicole Kidman too, but apparently not. I wasn't even aware that Michael Keaton was still acting. Looked kinda generic, though.

Truthfully, in most areas the T18 is actually superior (better speed, more powerful gun, thicker armor) despite being a lower tier, but I like that the Marder II has a wider firing arc, which reduces hull traversing. But yeah, it was really just good fortune that my first two kills provided me with ...

Wow, had a couple of spectacular games today. http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/825/21f3.jpg Yeah, all those assists? Spotting. It seems that half the enemy force decided to take the lighthouse. Initially, I was parked in some bushes nearby, but after the first couple of tanks were killed I moved u...

So, I just got done with a rather "interesting" match. One of our guys decides to go for a swim, declaring that the map, South Coast, sucks. Our SPG apparently took exception to that, and blew him up. The swimmer then proceeds to spend the rest of the match bitching about being team-killed...

Well, I got into this last week. I suck ass in general, but I've found that I like TDs and SPGs. Seriously, my average XP per match is like 150, and I usually die a couple minutes in. Anyway, it turns out that the Panzer I and Panzer II share a bunch of modules. I hadn't noticed that while levelling...

Didn't Hermann say something about the portal getting a little bigger every time something is sent through? That would also explain why they stuck with Cat 2 and 3 for a while after the Jaegars were first introduced. It simply wasn't possible to send anything bigger through yet.

Holy shit, it lives!

Well, actually, I saw the Spacebattles update first, but I haven't registered there, so I'm expressing my surprise and appreciation here instead.

There isn't really anything I can say that hasn't been said already, especially since I never really interacted with him. But death still sucks, so for whatever it's worth I offer my condolences to friends and family.
