No scouts on an inferior team? No worries i'll carry the team to victory! I have some APCR loaded but haven't had to use any for 100+ games.

I just skipped the Lorraine 40t using free XP. I originally planned on grinding it, but decided against it after looking up its stats and reading some opinions about it. I didn't want to "forget" the 13 90's agile playstyle before getting to the BatChat 25t. This will probably be the last time I ever skip a high tier tank.

I did some more derping on the test server and my opinion now is that it's still destructive, but also not the one-shot force that it used to be, at least if the target has somewhat decent armor to start with. And it does bounce/not penetrate quite a bit at any sort of range if the angle isn't right.
The more pressing issue is that shells for a PzIV or Sherman or a Hetzer now cost 4000 credits each. I suppose you could wait for a sale and hoard, but generally that means that firing over 10 HEAT in a game is almost certainly a money loss unless it's a multikill victory. And I finally saw Sacred Valley, where Russians driving T95s roam... though I didn't see very much of it, since I was trying to use the S-51. The now 50-second reload is... very long. |

Yeah it would be trolling nub in tier I games. Heck it would be funny if they even did it on the test server. Also wonder how it will play since console vs pc are incompatible.
Questions like how would they text or voip, what will the configs will be for using consumables and switching out ammo types, how will they upgrade mods, purchase stuff, makes interested in see how it will look and play like.

Just had a hilariously awesome match in my AT 7. I pretty much hid my hull and copula behind a building on the east side of Fisherman's Bay for most of the match, only exposing my far right side and gun. The result was near-impenetrable trolltastic armor, getting tracked a zillion times, receiving 6.6k potential damage, and ruining a few heavies' day.
A screenshot of where I positioned myself is at the end. This TD is definitely a keeper along with the AT 8. Hope the AT 15 will be good too. |

Last console I ever bought was a SEGA Genesis (with Altered Beast, before Sonic was invented). I've been a PC gamer ever since. Not sure how console gaming will work with WoT and War Thunder.

The reason is simple y shooters r prolly more popular on consoles, it barely takes skill once u adapt to it. Then BF series changed the whole concept of FPS becuz its more closer to a realitic arcade military game. its got maps vehicles guns and reward system. well u can say good bye to medal of honor series since they took it off their game rotation.
Well the last console i ever had or played on was ps 2 and psp. other than that pc version will out rank consoles even if the ps4 can operate with pc stats. once u go pc u nvr go bak. Get rdy xbox fools it to a xbox near u.

More from the test server: I could play things in tiers that I don't have yet, or I could do this...
Ye gods, that thing is slow and arty really wants to kill you. I put the mongo-sized spall liner on it and it may have helped me survive that. I also got a Hellcat, which is amusing... and of course I got Port three maps in a row, so camo and binocs turned out to be useless. Yep, HEAT derp costs more. Additional experimentation confirms the need to use it much more carefully now, though this time I got some of those good old-fashioned long range derp kills... the SU-26, of course, has no armor, but I did do quite a bit of damage to the T-34 from a distance. The Excelsior, of course, laughed off my attempts to HEAT derp it from range... if it wasn't the test server I wouldn't have tried. Still, overuse of HEAT will be a money spill in 8.6. This new pattern isn't very colorful, but the shapes are cute. Also to note here, they said they'd change the costs of some of the other premium ammo, and the long 75mm ammo went from 2000 to 2800 per round. |
