The T29 is a very good tier 7 heavy. My highest single xp game was in the T29. You have to get used to hiding your hull as much as possible but otherwise with all its upgrades it's great.

el cheapo churchils coming up with 3x special and extra credits earned on the churchill

I am pretty happy I have one

[DivHunter]

I now have the VK4502P, pretty good tank, very good at reverse peek-a-boo, punches holes in things, big holes.

Not as big as the 704 though.

Is the transmission @ the front or the rear?

They are nerfing the E75 & 100 with 7.4 by moving the transmission to the front = easy engine fire everytime you get pentrated on the lower glacis...

I've also noticed that they mentioned they are reworking the frontal armor for IS8 in the patch = possible Russian tank buff again?

[DivHunter]

Yes the transmission is at the front, I am yet to have a fire because I am not a supertard and know how to hide the lower glacis. The IS-8 is currently made of paper so that's not really a big thing.

The VK4502 is the king of reverse peek-a-boo with it's rear mounted turret. Sat there while an IS-4 pounded my track for no damage over and over while I penned his front for 500 damage over and over. He lost.

Absolutely shit morning though, could not buy a win no matter what I did or how many I killed.

7.4 goes live

[Mayuri Krab]

I'm interested in seeing how well the armor of the IS-8 gets buffed (if at all).

& I'm very tempted to buy & try that 88 JagdTiger...

[Mayuri Krab]

Actually scrap that, after reading somewhere 88JT appears to be shit.

Also wtf is with gun cirtical damage, every game I go into no matter which tank I use I always get a gun damaged critical just by low tiers spaming HEs...

HE is broken and there is a hotfix that was released to RU that has not been put on NA yet iirc

[Mayuri Krab]

I miss good old 7.3... game has being pissing me off (more than usual) none stop ever since the update.

Close enough for me to give up WoT & play another free to play style of game instead (signed up for the beta for the new MechWarrior game) or time to dig up those old games I never finished & finish them off (like KOTOR & Mass Effect 1).

& I just pissed the E75 off, can't stand it anymore after the patch.

Now what to spend the coins on, are US tanks still worth getting?

[J34]

Think I might need to try this game out. Is it still worth a go?

US and Russian heavies are still good. There are some pretty bad tanks dispersed in those trees though.

Well it's free to play so you don't lose anything testing it out.

They are also not all bad

If you're not bad@tanks and and have/are close to tier 10 or tier 8 arty, consider joining The Steel Parachutes.

If you are bad@tanks and would like to improve or still working on those end game tanks you can always join TSP-P.

Just finished the whole training thing, I like it so far. Still learning alot. I love the whay it feels like a team game and everone works together, well most of the time.

[DivHunter]

everone works together, well most of the time.

Ah the mind of an innocent tanker.

Go back to low tier battles as they are fun and people move together and don't spend the whole game sitting in a bush

Tier 2, second most played tank. Churchill (train IS-4/IS-7 crew while making credits) rapidly rising in number of games. Average tier of 6.5 over 7687 games.

Teamwork (used very loosely when refering to pubs) I find is more prevalent in the higher tiers but executed just as poorly as everything else at all tiers.

Got a Marder II at the moment and having heaps of fun with it. Any recomendations for good German tanks?
