I really seem to have an affinity with Churchill-type tanks. Just got myself the Black Prince due to them being on sale this Heavy Destruction Weekend. These were within my first 6 matches:

Medals everywhere

That said, it seems that every play session with WoT ends up like this: I play extremely well the first handful of matches, then my performance drops the more matches I play afterwards

T57 Heavy Tank Kill Battle:

Could have done better, I suppose.

willx · 2013-01-11, 12:13

More than the T57 kill, I'm liking what looks like big damage output on the M46.

Now, getting back to the autoloaders, I saw a T57 beat the utter crap out of an E-100. It was quite shocking. Popped out of cover, ate the E-100's first shot and managed 4 return shots in response. Last shot tracked the E-100 while he began reloading and retreating deeper into cover.

LoweGear: So SO true. I had a heck of a run yesterday (which brought my win % up to around 50% for both my Tiger and my Panther), which was followed by an extreme set of bad matches and losses which dropped both of their percentages down to 48%

Oh, and I actually have the KV-1S all researched and ready to go, up to the big gun, but I'm loathe to get it until I gain another slot in the garage.

6 straight losses right after I got the T29....I don't even know what I am doing wrong. Everyone just dies before I could do anything.

Blaat · 2013-01-11, 14:11

The problem with the T29 is that I can die pretty darn fast thanks to the low body armour. :\

Anyway brag shot time:

Shame you can't see my money (33.5k) amount and that it was first of the day (3400 research points

That problem has been plaguing me a lot lately. I'm doing what I can, but it doesn't really help when you're on team after team that melts away like an ice cube on a frying pan 2 minutes into the battle.

Lolz. That's the first.

I just got 3 continuous win with the T29 right after upgrading the track. I didn't realize how much improvement just with the track upgrading alone. The stock T29 is way too sluggish, but now at least I can hold my own from other medium tanks.

Traece · 2013-01-11, 15:06

I has Black Prince now! Today is good day! Now if I could just figure out why the Black Prince is more prone to gun damage than the Churchill is prone to track damage...

I also did a beautiful run in a Matilda, tanking the enemy team like a boss.

Endless Soul · 2013-01-11, 16:06

Fended off a facehugging T-54 with my JgdPzIV just now. Guess seeing a poor pitiful defenseless turretless tank destroyer made him greedy and careless, ignoring my friends around me. ~whew!~

Drake · 2013-01-11, 16:21

The Cromwell, starting the get the hang of it.

I've found that its best just to hold back at the start and follow the heavies until you see how the enemies are positioned and then hit the flank while your team have their attention.

Also only 6k away from researching the chaffee although I'm unlikely to actually use it until I deck it out with a few modules.

Exactly! You also get to practice your "circle of death" when you manage to sneak up on a KV-1 or any other heavy. Kimi is the master with an almost preternatural sense of when someone is going to shoot at him. He's an annoying bugger to shoot having been on the other side of his Crusader a few times..

One other thing that the Cromwell is great at is counter-scouting. While you're "sitting back at the beginning" do a bit of defending of the arty or weave around the "front line" of your offensive. I had a great battle where I saw two T-50s try to sneak a flank to go after the arties .. I managed to track one and ram the other into oblivion. 64 kph medium tank .. is FAST!

Drake · 2013-01-11, 16:48

In that particular game I took out all but one of their scouts while rolling with a couple of VK's down the left side of the map then eventually breaking off and flanking the enemies capping the middle flag taking out both VK's and a Pz IV.

Sumeragi · 2013-01-11, 16:48

I think I'm at my end's wits with the Panther II. Thinking of selling it and returning to the Panther for the time being.

Look on the bright side. The tank you are on is just another stepping stone to another bigger, better machine...

Don't despair.

I'm not going to spend time and effort grinding when I'm focusing on my stats.

Newhope · 2013-01-11, 17:20

I sold my Churchill VII couple days ago frist tank I thought was totally garbage no way I am grinding 150-200 games to get past it.

Spoiler for Save space:

I am also heading up the US tank destroyer line because I fancy driving the T28 prototype, only tier 4 so far the T82 was a fast fun trolling machine with the 105mm which can one shot some T5, I'am currently on the M8A1 ATM it's fast but extremely fragile which doesn't really suit my aggressive playstyle but overall doing ok with it.
