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.

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:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      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

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
