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:

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
