Congrats

Pulling cliffside shenanigans on the way to a Top Gun.

Kinda looking forward to Chinese mediums. Is the gun depression as big as a problem as it seems on paper?

Yes.

Stone fences, you know the ones you drive over and break? Sit on one and all you can get are turret shots.

But the gun, when you hit someone with the 122 it's like the fist of Zeus smiting the unbelievers.

Gun depression is a big deal when it comes to rough terrain, especially when you're trying to peek up or down hills or any incline. Your options when positioning the tanks will be severely limited in such situations, many times forcing you to expose your hull before you can aim your gun at the enemy, and as already pointed out even fences can pose a problem for tanks with limited gun depression - a problem for many Chinese tanks. And in rare cases where you get facehugged by another tank, the lack of depression may prevent you from pointing your guns at necessary weakspots.

On flat ground though, gun depression shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep the enemy at range.

The problem is that there is almost ZERO flat ground that isn't a road. The gun depression for the T-34-2 is *that* bad.

EDIT: you know the curves on the roads in Ruinberg? Yeah. ._.

Also, T-34-2 is so cute ~_~

[Blaat]

Yup, Chinese depression is non existent, the medium tanks also have a lack of horse power which admittedly isn't really noticeable until you go up a hill. I like them though, I really love the Type 58 which spurred me to try out all other medium tanks. T-34-1, I like as well but only that happened recently it is very different in playing style and it took me a while to get used it.

Reading the FTR blgo it looks like they're planning to add roaming, which means that in the near future I'm going to have the chance to kill you guys. I mean platoon, yes platoon.

[Achiuakuna]

Well I guess it'll be a challenge to play. And yes they do look cute

[Myssa Rei]

By the way, I'm this close to true 54%, and I'd really like to break the threshold before I disappear for a week (down to the wire now on the submission). So I'm free for platooning from 2:30 to 5:30 as soon as I get home from the office.

Oh, and maybe gain free exp in the process, as I'm unlocking Leopard Prototype A modules, starting with the suspension.

Another decent session today with Blaat and he has now joined the squiggles brotherhood.


Look at them! so majestic...

In other news bagged another top gun with the T49 again today with a 7 kill streak without receiving a single hit ! I've also managed to get its WR up to just shy of 60%.

Replay - Blaat calls my play style aggressive but I like to think of it more as assertive =D link fixed*

Edit: Yay stats !



Finally starting to get some green back in it again.

[Myssa Rei]

Do wish the US line would get a decent premium medium for a change, now that they're taking away the Super Pershing. I'd like to be able to use my M4 crew for other things, as they've got 3 skills already.

Anyway, was it Tak who was grinding the Leo Proto? How long did he have to suffer through the 9cm?

[Mow Yun]

The amount of red I have on my little signature image is disgusting



Solo playing and that the T-34-2 is *not* a very good solo play. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;-;

[Myssa Rei]

Stop complaining Mow. :P You have purple stats.

And wait, isn't the T-34-2 the Chinese Tier 7?

Heresy! Only Ambush fits the Škoda Panther!

[Gravitas Free Zone]

This poor guy. (Look at the timestamps and the minimap.) I didn't even get to shoot.

[Pen3]

I don't remember the last time i had a Top Gun on my Tiger and the bonus is very nice this week. That and i just renewed my premium today just for a week and hopefully the WoWp gold is true and ill use those for the rest of my premium.

Nonsense look how well it blends in !

[Gravitas Free Zone]

There were five of us bunched up waaaaaaaaay too tightly at the Cliff choke point; I damaged the SP because it backed into me while trying to retreat but I couldn't back up because I had a VK3002B hugging my exhausts. And then the Types didn't try to swarm...

I have no intention of doing anything with this vehicle until both equipment and crew training go on sale again. But in the meantime, the Collective is prepared. (Curiously, of the three Hall Monitor faces available in the icon pack, only two of them work...)

...also, how the hell is "Bob" a French surname?

[Kamijou_Touma]

I stopped caring for WR now, well i'm 25% into the T62A grind, which will be my last until the release of the firefly and i go and chi nu tanks so i'll need to buy me self 3 slots, which will bring me total of 48 tanks, maybe but 2 more for something i think i might want to play, for a total of 50, mean while i'll work on gettin the 121 on my alt account hopefully before my bro gets back from study abroad in china, kinda sux that he won't be back till end of july, cuz he's goin to japan and korea on the way back home. oh well i'll prolly work the tier 10 jap line when it comes out on my alt acct as well.

fukou dah, looks like i'm the only player on AS that would go full gold.
