Multi The World Of Tanks thread

Im quite liking my Priest now i have the second gun and a rammer. Works brilliantly as an impromptu TD when needed just sucks if it needs to turn... ever!

 

It's quite fast for a US arty I'm afraid. The M12 is hilariously bad at turning.

i have the SU-152 and the Jagdpanther unlocked
are any of these any good?
or just buy an IS-3? which i also have unlocked, but 10k xp away from the top engiine on the IS

 

The JagdPanther is great fun, especially with the top gun & engine - shoot & scoot!

I love my IS-3, made it elite ages ago and moved onto the IS-8 but I have kept the IS-3 for fun.

I haven't started on the Russian TD tree but will probably do so soon, the Obj.704 with the big gun is too tempting - BOOM!

 

The 152 is great.
Its got what I believe is the highest DPM gun in the game? Or alternatively derping never gets old.

 

i may just buy both,
i have 2.6mill credits, and with both at half price, it will only cost me 1.5mill. inc, crew retraining
i also have the T29, so with 70% extra on that, i wont be long making back the money
also i will just use the derp on the SU-152, so all i will have to research are the tracks as i have all the engines and radios already, then onto the ISU-152

 

well...there goes my savings, i guess the E75 will have to wait

 

Been waiting for the Jagd to come on offer. Awesome.

 

Jagd is an amazing little tank, with the top engine and gun i prefer it over the Tiger. quicker turns better and much more powerful gun

 

Just got my world of warplanes beta key. Good times.

 

Don't expect much - it's ****!

 

this^^
i got my key last week, didnt even finish the training, just didn't like it at all

 

Same here. Didn't really get on with it very well. I guess it's still beta but I don't think KB & mouse goes well with these kinds of games.

 

They did say that this one was going to need a controller or a joystick in fairness. I'm hoping that the game works well but we'll see. I assume its going to be n00b bashing for the first 200 games though.

 

who has had the VK 3002 DB?
i unlocked the Panther first (in case it was on offer soon )

now i have got the upgraded tracks. so it will be the new turret next.
my question is, whats the best gun? currently using the L70, high ROF and pen, but crap damage.
or use the short 88mm i have unlocked already from my tiger?

 

its swings and roundabouts with the DB
some like the pen and ROF lf the l70, others prefer the alpha damage of the 88L56
mine is still stock but i really didnt get on well with the 88 as the pen is kinda crappy and stock its still abit slow to reach the butt end of IS, IS3 etc

 

The DB is a mixed bag. On one hand it is slightly faster than the panther, with around the same armor, but you still get farmed up quickly. The panther is more of a support medium, while I found that the DB is an attacker, yet the guns don't pen or do too little damage for it to be effective...All I wanted it for was to unlock the tiger.

 

I'm dabblling with the game the last week or so and have researched and upgraded theT1 and bought an M2. If I stick with the American light tanks, what other direction might I want to go with the others if I was after TDs or Mediums or SPGs I still have the four starting tanks with varying experience plus the M2 but haven't researched anything outside the American line yet.

 

T18 and T82 (?) are a bit OP if you want a laugh. I would go straight for the jumbo and then down the heavies and med lines. The T110E5 is the tier 10 of choice for versatility and good; post nerf the M48 is not brilliant.

The DB is poo; I'm sorry but it has nothing going for it except the future second medium line after it.

 

Honestly I have kept my M2. Its not quite as quick as the Russian BT2 but it can out turn it. Really though just try stuff. As soon as your destroyed in a battle Esc and jump in a different tank

I found the DB pretty good the armour has a good slope too it, its kind of like a the hetzer. I played it before the panther and found the panther awful because of its massive size. Just started on the panther II
