Got Tiger 2.

Good armor & crap stock gun, don't do enough damage, took me ages to kill off a T32 (while 1/2 of his shots all bounced off my armor).

I dont actually mind the stock gun on the Tiger 2, as long as you aim for the lower frontal armour on a T32 you can kill it reasonably quickly. I definetly need the engine upgrade though it is painfully slow.

What are you guys favourite tanks?

My favourite so far is the VK3601, has the speed to flank, good frontal armour and the 88 is powerful enough to damage to tanks from much higher tiers.

I'm used to the fatty Lowe so Tiger 2's slow stock speed don't really bother me much.

My favorite is the Lowe, always end up with a +ve net profit (Tiger 2 is costing me $$$ almost every match unless I win & don't die or get damaged too much as the repair cost is insane!).

But dam I missed out on the cheap module prices for my Tiger 2! :(

The Tiger II is a beast.

My average XP with the Tiger II only just dropped below 1000 yesterday :(

Working up enough XP towards the E75 to unlock it and unlock it's tracks, turret and gun before buying it.

I've just installed this game on my home pc, looks interesting!

So far ive only played 3 games, managing to average 2 > 3 kills per game.

If anyone would like to add me in game and show me the ropes that'd be awesome! In game name: ZedX

What are the minimum requirements for this game? I just got a new PC that might be able to run it....maybe.

I've seen it run ok even on a regular laptop.

I have seen it running on -

E8300 with 3870 x 2

E8400 with 3870X2 x 2

E8400 with GTS250

E7500 with GT240

Pretty much anything bought in the last 3 years will run it. The only thing you might need to change is get a custom scope that does not have the black surround as it is rendered as a shadow and can kill performance.

The most important things in the early stages are:

Autocannons (anything with a 100+ RPM) are the devil and you should avoid them at all costs. If you must use one, please shoot my Hotchkiss lots, it tickles, I once took 78 hits in a Hotchkiss with almost no damage.

Besides shooting tanks in the sides/back when you have to shoot them front on you shoot at the lower plate between the tracks. Each tank will also have different weak points (check the WoT forums) to shoot at but be aware some tanks, like the IS-4, the weak spots are relatively weak not damage every time weak.

Thanks mate, I have 2 laptops, The oldest being 2 years old and the newest only a few days old, the newest apparently has some sort of tricky graphics card upgrade so I should be ok. Famous last words for a PC noob but I will see what happens.

Cheers for the tips :)

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my M2 Light, Was hoping to remain in T1 matches however i appear to draft more into T2+T3 matches now.. which kind of sucks.

I've opted for a 37MM as 50 Cal and 20mm were quite woeful, so much easier to navigate the map as opposed to the T1 :)

The M2 light is an awesome tank, you will get into a lot of tier 1-2 matches with it and you can dominate. It's like a version of the T2 Light premium tank that doesn't suck.

Yea defiantly having a lot of fun playing an M2 light :)

Currently slaving away trying to level through my Pzkpfw III, Its tanking FOREVER... Continuously matches vs T6>T7's. I tend to just roam around aimlessly until I'm eventually killed in 1 shot... -.-

Spot and hide, you don't have to do any damage yourself to get tons of xp. If you are the one spotting you get xp for any damage your team does.

I got 11 kills and a Kolobanov medal in my Hotchkiss yesterday. :banana:

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
