*Haven't played for about 3 months*

*Decided to check for the game lastest update in hope something will interest me enough to play again*

*Seen what they did to my beloved VK36.01H*

Goodbye WOT.

VK 36.01 (H) is better than ever before.....

I really can't get why people are complaining.

Mow Yun · 2013-09-07, 10:26

It means nothing if they rush you. Sure, you'll die (actually you can hide behind the rocks or keep backing up, and the guys on the bend can just roll down on them (which they probably did). Situation was hopeless either way.

Also WTB like 500,000 free exp so I can free exp all the tanks I want

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-09-07, 12:46

I purchased three tanks, I'm out of garage slots, and I don't feel like selling the LTP. The JT88 was only saved because there's a faint chance that I'll try the open-topped German TD line, though at some point the E-25 might actually go on sale (like maybe Christmas, hah), and I'll get that.

decide to keep 13 90 dispite manage to transfer the crew to bat. it just too cute <3

The 8,8 cm Jagdtiger is an excellent choice for a crew trainer because of its 6-man crew configuration with two loaders. Unlike the E-25 and it's 4-man crew (which can train crews up to the Jagdpanzer 4), the JT88 can train all of the crew of every single German tank destroyer up to now.

I have yet to know whether the second German TD line will have weird crew configurations that don't fit the JT88 (like two gunners), so keep the JT88 until then at least.

I made the mistake of selling the 13-90 to get more credits. I'll probably buy it back in the future, because it can be an effective scout in the right hands.

Most of my issues with the JT88 were that it was messing with my win rate; my efficiency with it was fairly good, it just wasn't a good vehicle to bail out pubbies with.

I never did get a handle on the T34 (efficiency horrible and win rate bad), and it's gone now. I've actually done better training new crews straight up with the T29 and T32 than working with the T34.

Weird crew annoyances... the double-gunner arrangement on the Churchill I (though at least that way one of the gunners can take their training to the Churchill VII while one stays with the Churchill I), the T-34 not having a gunner but having a radio operator, then the T-34-85 going to five crew, then the T-43 and onward being four crew. (The A-43 and A-44 will also have five crew.)

I still have a couple of spare Soviet and German radio operators slumming around.

Well, last night I decided to play again the VK 3001 H. I had forgotten how fun it was mounting the short 88 on that little monster, unfortunately it doesn't help the wet paper that it has for armor.

Anyway, just expecting the switch. When was 8.8 dated to b e released?

LeoXiao · 2013-09-07, 14:23

Tempester, your sig is full of win.

It definitely has abysmal maneuverability. Slow heavies can literally drive around it. I was pleasantly surprised when I started playing the tier 9 Jagdtiger, because it's quite fast compared to the JT88.

However, you're still playing better it than I am, and I have no plans on getting rid of it. If maintaining stats is that important to you, maybe it's best to only play the SU-122-44 for premium tanks.

That 303 pen gun can penetrate even the tightest armor!

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-09-07, 17:38

IIRC my JT88 was at 44% WR, but something like a 1400-range WN7. So it works out to be average...

But yes, generally I like things that can move faster, and if they don't have a turret, can turn quickly. And hopefully have a decent gun.

Of course, most of the premiums have some glaring flaw somewhere.

This... just fulfilled some weird temptation. The gun does compensate a bit for its... other problems.

Myssa Rei · 2013-09-07, 19:05

Leopard PTA derpiness aside, finally dove in and purchased the VK 3001 H. Should be interesting how something with paper-thin armor for its tier gets turned into a Heavy, especially since the Pz-IV out-armors it in front. Play it like a French tank?

Oh, and I was able to platoon with PityFool, aka Kewei from the forums. Wish I could say that I performed well, but we were playing West, and I'm still getting used to the PTA. Seas of red and orange over there, so we lost more than we won, and with the PTA, it's really REALLY hard keeping it in the fight long enough to make a difference, especially when a surprise T-54 appears in your favored camping spot...

RRW · 2013-09-07, 19:38

You mean pity playing endo/kewei account?

Myssa Rei · 2013-09-07, 19:56

Sou sou. He mentions that it's always harder playing Kewei's account because, well, the name is pretty infamous.

Silver-Throne · 2013-09-07, 20:37

I have a good game again because I got a good team and they coordinated with my strategy.

Spoiler for Killing Spree and the results:

Sumeragi · 2013-09-07, 21:03

Myssa Rei, commanding a PT A? I have one if you're interested.

Strigon 13 · 2013-09-07, 21:06

I have my garage full ATM, and I'm thinking on selling a tank so I can buy back the KV-4. Currently I have Pz4 & 3/4, VK 3001 H (for the free slot), IS, IS-3, T-43, GW Panther, LTP, SU-122-44, SU-85.

Damn, why 8.8 can't get sooner?

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-09-07, 21:11

I think I might finally sell my Pz38nA, after having done 425 battles in it. I've seen things, man. Getting blown up like the Student Council vs. Nonna for 5 games today isn't helping.

That would actually open up a garage slot for me to purchase a... JagdPanzer IV. Yargh. On the bright side, the 38nA's CO, driver, and loader actually have higher skill levels than my TD crews... on the bad side, the only spare gunner I have is nowhere near that level yet.

Alternatively, I could move them to the AFKPanther, but... yarrrrrrrrrgh.

Strigon 13 · 2013-09-07, 21:21

And I've just hit 3 skills with my KV-2 crew!

Spoiler for Proof:

It has been an interesting ride since 6.5; now this crew will go to the KV-4 (since I moved the KV-4 crew to the IS-3 and the 122-44)
