oh yes, potent tank when used correctly...

funny thing is, out of all the times I have gone 1 v 1 in the vk3601 against a lowe 90% of the time I come out on top, I fear stock KV's more than Lowe's haha

Also...f**kers put the price of the tiger back up to 1.6mil just as I reasearched it :(

more grinding to do lol

Edit - Just finished a match where a lowe and I ran up the centre un opposed and capped, I was lowest tier and barely got scratched, game over in 3 mins lol

I think I'll be selling my elite Ferdi, E75, Panther II and getting a VK 4502 (P) Ausf. A, then an E-50 when I have the credits again. Not sure if I will ever actually buy an E-100 (it's absolute garbage now) or a JagdTiger. IS-4 is shelved until the next patch, armour was f**ked in the last one. IS-7 I only really played in CW. M103 is OK and I'll get the T110 when I can but the American crews need a lot more training. TDs I am on the second last or last now apart from the new US line.

So training crews in premiums I will be for some time. My Churchill has the IS-4 crew atm, third skill to something like ~40%. E-75 crew will go to the 4502 Ausf A, they're up to ~75% on the third skill. Other crews will hang around until they find a new home I guess. Probably scrap the arty crews, already sold all the arty a while ago, I really just don't like arty that much.

Sucked in again, bought a month of premium. Suddenly start winning at a higher rate, it must be placebo but I swear I win more when I have premium (I don't use gold ammo).

I was able to unlock and buy everything on the 4502 Ausf A with free XP without selling the Panther II which works out well because it still has 20k to go for the E50.

Onward to the Ausf B and the Maus. Won't be all that long and I will be able to unlock and buy an E50.

I'm on struggle street with the Ruski TD line...7 matches 3 kills...but my win rate is 57%..which is better than anything else which hovers 50/50

I have 4 days left of premium

May test your theory about winning.

It does suck that I would have next to no chance of getting the tiger without Premium..the VK is a money whore, and I barely make any even with the premium account....actually reminds me...not sure if you have looked at the WOT forum...so many conspiracy theroiests complaining about everything getting nerfed so to play at higher levels you need premium.

Oh...does anyone know wtf the go is with the clan wars thing? had a quick look, confuddled the f**k out of me, with this turn based shit and went back to pub matches

Got a 99k xp win during the last 5x event & got my 1st mastery ace badge. All in my Panther 2; a tank I didn't like all that much (hated the panther 1 with a passion, it goes into my list of crap rubbish bin along with the M3 Lee & Stug 3).

Basically all I did was stay near a sand slop & all the noobs charged & left their sides exposed to fight our type 59s & T-44s in & I just picked them off 1 by 1 with the 88... LOL

Doing massive grinding in my IS-4 so I can get the IS-7 researched before patch 7.3 comes out & IS-4 gets moved to its own heavy tech tree.

The Russian TDs are a f**king horror show with the exception of maybe the SU-100 until you get the 704. They all have inaccurate guns and basically no armour.

You should be able to make money in your tier 5s even with no premium. Try PzIV or T-34 with 57mm. The economy of the game is designed so you either buy premium or play a lot of mid tier battles to fund your tier 7+.

Clan Wars is basically a bunch of clan battles over ownership of the various territories on the map. Landing zones are fought for tournament style with the winner fighting the current owner for the province. It's fun when you have about 30 people on with at least 15 of them being good and in tier 10 heavies / tier 8 arty. That way you can attack two provinces at once, most clans struggle to defend more than one at the same time.

You did not get a 99000 xp win lol 9900 maybe. Only 1980xp, funnily enough about the same as I achieved in my Churchill this morning :P

The Panther II is a good medium. The gun is silly accurate and does enough damage. Decent frontal armour too.

Yup gave up.

only playing with the VK36 now

may buy some more gold to buy the Tiger outright and keep the VK (has 100% crew + training)

Re-adjusted my playing style with the VK a little and making some ok money...enough to sustain itself + a little extra

But man that VK can take some hits, suprises me when I get ambushed by 3 or 4 Tier 7 and 8 heavies and I just back the f**k up and cruise off lol

im grinding a few tanks ATM, I'm Grinding my Tiger, IS, T20, vk3002db, m103, amx 13 90

but i keep going back to my Tier 2 and 5 tanks as they are so fun and play them more than tanks I'm grinding

my fav tanks ATM are

- T2 Light tank is so fun, its so quick and has so much firepower - best kill in it is a AMX 50b :P - only problem is it just can't take any hits

- PzKpfw 38H735 (f) - bounces 95% of shots if you know how to play and just love rolling through low tier battles slowly killing everything

- Churchill - rolling rapid fire gun - love just rolling across the battlefield firing continuously

- KV Derp - just love derping people and the rage that follows

- T54 - good all-round tank as I like speed and being able to flank and it can hit hard and has good frontal armour

Churchill is awesome fun, the new deadeye skill seems to have me racking and setting fire to tanks all over the place, which is handy with it's low damage. I am running GLD, spall and rammer on it.

I have learned to hate the Tetrarch in my Hotchkiss these days, wish I had been playing when they were handed out, what a gun for tier 2! Pens everyting like it's butter. Still do quite well in the Hotchkiss though running camo, binocs and spall you can just massively out sigh range any of the other tanks.

Top Gun / Scout combo on Malinovka is not uncommon. I have over 50 Top Gun on my Hotchkiss and about 19 scout. Not bad for a tank that does 20 at best.

so who is stocking up on consumables this weekend

so far i have got 100 extinguishers, 100 repair kits and 50 first aid kits and I'm out of credits but will grind my premiums to get some more credits for more before the special is over

I have my GF playing but the teams we get in are SO bad it's rediculous. We have to kill 1/2 or more of the enemy ourselves or we lose. But then I go solo in the same tanks and clean up. Noticed most accutely in my Churchill.

Bought a KV as I was getting one before 7.3 anyway and tried platooning up with my GFs Churchill. Quickly realisd why i sold it as soon as it was elite. Immediately in a tier 9 game, then tier 8 (won, 4 kills inc 2 Lowes using 107 not derp 152).

Once the KV is split and no longer has the 107 or 152 it better get he match making the T14 and Churchill get or it will be raped all night long.

Best performance in my Tiger so far:

shot_036.jpg

But also my most embarrassing moment as well as I kept on getting circled by that T50 & couldn't hit him... =(

Wasted some good 3 minutes or so before I finally got a proper aim & blew him up.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
