Tell you one thing right off ... I'm looking forward to the gold. I could really use some more HEAT rounds. :D


And I'd really love to see some NA servers. The EU servers have got REALLY awful ping for me. I have some horrible issues with rubber banding. Also, sometimes when I fire, the recoil hits as soon as the button is pressed, but the gun doesn't actually fire until the top of the recoil, so I get to watch my rounds fly three stories over the top of whatever I shot at.

Also, I went ahead and bought a tier-III SPG. I'm having a LOT more fun playing with that than I did with the entry-level. This is actually pretty badass.

I don't get as many kills, but I'm getting a LOT more experience points and credits, because I'm getting a whole cubic ***-ton of hits. It's not anything like overpowered - I'm having to spend gold to buy HEAT rounds if I want to actually score kills on the big boys, even with a 122.

It's back, and in the next few hours you should have your 5000 gold, patch and wipe is coming in the next couple days.

I'm not using any yet, if the patch and wipe is coming in a few days then I'll use it to get back my fully upgraded T-44, rapid train to 75% the crew in it, equip with rammer and wet ammo rack and buy a month of premium.

That should do nicely :IS2:

Ooo in fact thats what I can do, (aside from premium which is a given) convert a bit to money to buy a rammer and as you said may as well 75% train the crews. Still will have quite a bit left over as I should also get 1000-1500 or so back from my Churchill when the wipe happens.

Think im going to stick to my existing trees, German medium (VKDB), & Russian Heavy :)IS2:) plus Russian TD (SU85) staying at a lower tier for when I need credits quicker (not that I need it with all the gold), though I may upgrade it to a SU-100.

EDIT: Also yay server must be East Coast, getting a decent 120 ping (from 80 when it was EU) . Though I dont think I'm going to play much until the patch is out.

Mine went from ~450 to ~300 which is a great gain in playability over what I was experiencing previously :D

Nope the servers just swamped right now (5000+ people online compared to 3000-4000 from the EU tests), just pot luck if you manage to get in. Just spam the connect button every so often if you want to join.

It's kinda pissing me off, actually ... I was playing fine all day, off and on, until about 1400 GMT-8. I guess all those jerks on the east coast got off work and now they're wanting to play, so now the server's busy. *grumble*


Edited to add: They finally sent me my Beta key... even though I already had one from Curse. :D
