medicjim86 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) NOW THIS WAS FUN!! Victory!Battle: Cliff Tuesday, January 22, 2013 9:21:49 PMVehicle: AMX 13 90Experience received: 3,950 (x2 for the first victory each day)Credits received: 51,553Battle Achievements: Mastery Badge: "Ace Tanker" Kills were a T95, T69, GwPanther and Obj 212, almost solo'ed a Jagtiger but someone got saucy and left the cover they had been behind for 5 minutes to steal the kill from his front <grr> ... I also put a few rounds into one of FCO's ANVIL buddies in an E-50M (Jedit) .. To be fair, he was pinned down and doing pretty well, I was hull down where he couldn't get me...he did position his tank perfectly so I only got 3 pen out of 10 rounds fired..

Colin Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Tier VIII game in my Comet, literally my team is wiped out in the first 3 minutes leaving me alone with 4 nastier tanks. You know you have to work hard to die that fast.

Harold Jones Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Got mine, didn't have any problems with Jinx a few minutes ago.
Edmund Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Pico!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wr1s0W1bPw Better than Ola IMO That is not possible. Ola is an angel. Is there only one angel in heaven? I concede there are more.
Edmund Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Finally got Comet and sold Cromwell. Upgraded tracks and working to get the Turret for 77mm. Almost half way there. Armour is weak. Trying to keep moving. I got the KV-4 and sold KV-3. Converted crew to KV-4. I have the KV-1, KV-2 and T-150 still. I liked them better then KV-3 so I kept them. The KV-1 with the short 122mm can be fun. I can't believe how much xp is needed to upgrade the KV-4. 15K for tracks? +20K for something else (Maybe turret). The top gun is like 44k. Not sure about engine or radio. That is more xp then I needed to get the tank. Seems extreme. The stock KV-4 is ok but can be frustrating because the guns are weak (1st 107mm), slow (122mm) and miss a lot. Questions. For Churchill VII and KV-4 does it help to angle tank when facing enemy? Have been trying that, but not sure it helps. On camponovka when the cap is in middle of West side; Is it best to go down or up the East side or go over to the West? Teams seem obsessed with the East side. I work on the West side. Wondering what you guys thought.
bojan Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Angled KV-4 can be a monster due the thick sides, especially if you manage to hide lower front hull.
Mistral Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 First battle of the day we win 14 to -1 (yes minus one) second one we loose 15-2 and i got the two kills...Both with the tiger. Balancing needs work:)

I am keeping the Cromwell for no good reason other than it's fast - KV-4 is not winning me over either, it's like a mobile pillbox, prefer the IS. I prefer the West side, go all the way to the border of the map to get good bearings on the church.
Marek Tucan Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Angled KV-4 can be a monster, just as Bojan said.Angled Churchill may produce nice bounces and tracks can absorb some damage, BUT if you angle too much you risk nasty stuff coming in through sponsons.

Teams seem obsessed with the East side. I work on the West side. Wondering what you guys thought. I've had good results carefully pushing the middle of the map, between the lake and the village. You can only really make headway when the hill is secure though, otherwise you're buggered - but thinning the attackers going up their side of the hill is satisfying. Edited January 23, 2013 by Max H
RETAC21 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The small hillocks work great for sniping, but not for long.
Marek Tucan Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Tiger II video is out - despite a bit annoying pronounciation of "Jagd" it is pretty interesting

Colin Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The comet requires care and some luck, but can perform
cptcav Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Victory! Map: Mines Tuesday, January 22, 2013 8:15:00 PMVehicle:: Cruiser Mk. IVExp: 1,360 + Credits: 19,650Achievements: : Confederate Clubbing seals with gold rounds and a 3-skill crew tbh... I really like the Cruiser Mk. IV and may keep it; although, I did a little better in the Mk. III. I'm working my way up this tree fighting at least 100 battles in each tank. I have about 45 more battles to go in the Mk. IV; then, I am on to the Covenanter. So far, all three tanks starting this tree have been enjoyable.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The KV-4 is a beast that suffers from the same probelm that plagues most heavies: it will win the fight where it's at but doesn't have the speed to win a game. I was doing great in mine, had it fully upgraded, and still sold it. Fully upgraded it's probably the best tier 8 heavy right now, though.
Skywalkre Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Anyone in the know know if there's any truth to some of the statements in there? Basically, with some supposed sources from the RU forums, the consensus was almost nothing is ever done on reports made. I kind of figured that already but I have a rather pessimistic outlook regarding WG from how they've conducted themselves since I've been playing.
Fritz Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I had some guy doing that in my t28 prot a week or so ago...so I turned and backed up and said "here, have my spot"...then I sat behind while he got shot to pieces and then said "thanks for the free shield" and used his body to cover my side. LOL I've done the same a few times.
Edmund Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Pico!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wr1s0W1bPw Better than Ola IMO That is not possible. Ola is an angel. Ola is best! + 1,000,000,000 I agree. Ola is very beautiful. I love her eyes and smile. However, I guess some mentally challenged people could like this other girl more. We must not ridicule them, but pity them.
