[Game] Word of Tanks

[Mahnsikir]

Dropped down to 4,300 now so it should be a little easier to get on.

Also woo just looked at my stats and I am now at 646 defeats and 647 victories But 1,316 games total Bloody hell that's a lot.

yeah, I was able to get in finally. I alt-tabbed out after I got killed to do other non-boring stuff.

The servers are down, hopefully there back up tonight and the new patch is out. I can't want to start on the HT route and I have nearly 7000 gold to help me :IS2:.

 

[Mahnsikir]

oo looks like the server is back up and the patch is live.

You can grab the patch or full client from here and patch notes here. (use ingame login details to sign into their forums if you can't view the page)

[Mahnsikir]

Yup, just finished updating via the torrent. Also 101 gold shy of 10,000

Now to grab a calculator and see how best to spend all my free exp (725k worth)... yes I'm that sad

 

[Pvt.pile]

I might do the same its not like you can go back and change what you've already spent it on. 10 thousand gold you son of a beatch .

 

[Mahnsikir]

Ooo thankfully someone has made a easy chart showing the quickest (cheapest) way to go up the tech trees linky. I could afford a JagdTiger...

 

[Pvt.pile]

Thanx again im gonna give this some thought. Just started the game up and logged in.....

9800 gold,1 197.317 credits and 148 793 free exp wtf .

 

[Peter.Steele]

The new patch is fantastic. Some great new sounds, and gameplay seems to be a lot smoother. I'm having much fewer lag issues, and haven't seen as much rubber banding, either.

 

[Mahnsikir]

Deary me. IS-7 and Maus' everywhere.

Got an :IS2: fully upgraded, a panther fully up'd and an SU-100 fully up'd.

- :IS2: well what else is there to say but :IS2::IS2::IS2:

- Panther, hmm is okay but with so many super heavies camping right now its speed is kinda nulled, may go back to the DB (only loose a bit of penetration (though thats very handy against the big boys) and health) but is a lot cheaper to repair.

- SU-100 is just great. 'whats that tier VIII-X tanks with huge repair bills? Sick of getting sniped by lil' ol' me? shut up and DIE!' ....assuming they don't one shot me or I run out of ammo

But no, the SU-100 (or even the SU85 with its best gun - more dmg but slower reload and a teeny bit less penetration) is a great credit farmer, just sit back a bit behind your wall of heavies and do as much damage as possible.

Since the patch it keeps telling me I don't have enough memory and setting my textures to low, I've got 2GB of ram and a 1GB gpu, never had this issue before

I am also getting a ton of random crashing, a ton, and it never happened before.

Also I was in a game where myself and 1 guy on the other side were the only mediums, the rest were IS-3's, IS-7's, Maus' (there's was about 5 of them) and artillery... it wasn't much fun

Credit farming with the SU26 / SU5 is pretty good too. With the 152 on the SU5 I'm running out of ammo almost every round, dying about 1/2-2/3's of the time, and I'm still coming out of it with a net gain of 4000-7000 credits. I've backed off some on using HEAT rounds, just because I don't want to run out of gold. I thought we were going to get refunded gold for our ammunition costs .... *grumble*

Servers are back up from earlier with a new small 5meg patch that dl/installs when you open up the client. :IS2:

Also as somthing to spend the gold on, decided to buy the little tier 2 german premium tank PzKpfw 38H7359(f) just for fun Plus it probably is a nice credit earner.

EDIT: It kicks butt, anyone else want to buy one and we can go and rule over the tier 1-2 battles?

EDIT2: To give you an idea of how much butt it kicks, it, a 160hp tank took/deflected over 1000hp worth of shots in one round. It may be approaching GREATEST_LIGHT_TANK_OF_WW2 status.

I picked one up.

What's your name in-game? I'm Kildar.



Edit: Jesus, that thing's slow.

 

[Klaus]

i picked up artillery and went for a grille after sucking really bad with t34
im kicking *** now and usually end up first place

 

[Peter.Steele]

I ran into C_Gibby (at lease I think it was him) last night. He had an SU-76.

 

[Pvt.pile]

IS-2 goodness the 122mm is a tad slow at loading but im getting used to it also its kinda weird having a moving turret .

3 IS-7's .

Even hitting the IS-4 in the back didn't do sheeeiiiit.

The death of an IS-2 and Mahnsikir

 

[Kipper]

I bought a Churchill and focused all my XP into a T-34/85 with the new patch. You guys and your huge tanks...how much have you guys played!

I was thinking the same thing
