I don't get the point of the Sexton I. Everything is the same as with the non-premium Sexton. Well, except for the turn rate (why that's different i don't know, as the chassis is the same).
Did they, like, have an obligation to put in a premium Sexton as it was advertised as a premium?

[StoneSlinger88]

It's a bit of an inside joke.

  Bwahahahaha oh my dirty mind had fun with that sentence.

I'm really not sure I want to know what you were thinking.

On the other hand, I am one curious little bastard...

*eyetwitch*...Pardon me while I go drive a nail though my skull now...

[StoneSlinger88]

You said you were curious.

[StoneSlinger88]

I LOVE THE VK36.01H! 2243 damage done. 2230 potential damage received. M6 drove around a corner to kill me. I tracked him, drove past him as he tried to rotate his turret, turned the corner, and unloaded into his ass where his gun couldn't get me. And a T1 Heavy was trying to shoot me in my side and was bouncing off pathetically before I lit him up too. KV-1 tried a derp on me and failed, barely giving me scratches. An Excelsior I just tracked and penned through the front. Flanked a Wolverine and destroyed it.

All it takes is a little angling and let that Konisch do the rest.

Some cool news:

This has been revealed as the next "gift tank" to go out, the Soviet Tier 3 Light Tank "LTP", looks kinda awful, I'll enjoy the free garage slot.

- Q: “What’s the problem with introducing the Firefly?” A: “The fact we say ‘no comment’ doesn’t mean there is a problem”

Yeah, sure.

- second British TD branch – “when it’s done it’s done”, FV4005 has a chance of appearing in it

For those who don't know, the FV4005 is another 183mm gun

- SerB states that the limit for implementing tanks is not defined by a year, but by tank generation (SS: current unofficial limit is 1969)

Seems 1965 has expanded again, potential for a Sheriden then?

- the new Soviet medium branch (when it’s implemented) will most likely start from the tier 5 T-34

So if you want the new ones, consider a bit of work

- after the Japanese tree, the combined EU tree is planned, but it’s not yet sure

I wonder what nations are included. Some Eastern Blocks, Italy...

- Q: “Will there be German vehicles with autoloaders?” A: “Hehe…” (SS: second German TD line will have autoloaders)

Oh my.

- there will be a global remodelling of the vehicles, that was announced earlier – with alternative models/differently armored hulls, it will be more like “hull with more armor = less speed” and vice versa

Best example I know of is the Cromwell, the Mk7 had 110mm of frontal armour at one point.

- it’s theoretically possible KV-1S will be transferred to tier 5 with its historical gun (eg. will lose the 122mm), but DEFINITELY not anytime soon

PLEASE

- lowtier Soviet tanks (T-12, T-24) will come, but not anytime soon

- British superheavy 100 (1XX) series tanks will be introduced, if someone finds any data on them (SS: some say it’s just a hoax tbh)

Yeah, I'd think that's a hoax. Some of the British community did research and found that nothing exists for these, it was just a prospective weight limit for a new heavy tank that eventually became the Conqueror and dropped to 65 tons.

- a Taiwanese branch was considered, Chinese partners wouldn’t be against it (in their eyes, Taiwan is “theirs” – a “renegade province”), but in the end, not enough adequate vehicles were found

Yay politics

*looks at stats* Eh, doesn't look that bad, but I'll be damned if I play into their hands and use a Russian tank.

- Q: “What’s the problem with introducing the Firefly?” A: “The fact we say ‘no comment’ doesn’t mean there is a problem”

Yeah, sure.

I'm probably gonna start moving up the British med line the day that thing comes out.

...That's still a big gun...

Hmm...a second branch. I am rather interest.

Seems 1965 has expanded again, potential for a Sheriden then?

I wouldn't mind that.

Meh.

I can't wait. But they need to hurry with that Jap tree.

I'm interested to see how this pans out.

THIS. VERY MUCH THIS.

Eh, not that I really cared anyways.

"Politics...how tiresome..."

[RoboRed]

I'm gonna dick around in the test server for a bit since it's the last day before the patch. Gonna mess with the FV4202, Tortoise, Leopard Prototype A, and E-25.

And the TOG for the hell of it.

[RoboRed]

i kinda like this thing:

Wish it was a tiny bit faster, though. But it is quite maneuverable.

Sadly, most of the games have been shit. Tortoise is fine, but I seemed to be bouncing quite a few shots in other games. Not sure why. E-25 I can't get a good feel for. Not really sure if I want it anyways. TOG is nice, but I can't get a good feel for it because shit teams and no one at tier 6. Leopard pt A...well, it's not bad. I just need to play it like the IP, minding the fact that anything that hits will hurt. Although I did take several hits to the tracks without damage or immobilization. That was pretty slick.

[RoboRed]

well, things started out nice...:

...Then all the teams went completely bugfucking retarded. I was hoping to finally nab my final engine for the Ferdie, but I decided to call it a night before my head exploded in rage.

I saved the replay from that 1st class mastery, though. That was a VERY close call.

[StoneSlinger88]

I know your pain, there were some terrible teams earlier.

[RoboRed]

I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, they'd all stay in the test server from earlier. No such luck. 

[RoboRed]

well, not bad for my first (and only) match of the day:

Seriously, though. I'm kinda wiped. Also, I gotta reinstall my mods, as well as my beloved July 4th garage. This is gonna take some time.

Also, WHERE THE FUCK DO I SELL MY SP FOR GOLD!?!? WG's been awfully mum on how to do that...

[RoboRed]

oops...:

I'll...uh...I'll fix that later...

Uploading that replay, btw. I'll post it tomorrow when I wake up.

[RoboRed]

Here it is:



First vid also showcasing my Guardian Tank voice pack, but most of it was drowned out by the REALLY LOUD Historical Gun Sounds mod...

[Ketchup]

So, I don't think I've ever done this much damage before now...

Spoiler:

Though most of them were T8s.

[Vergil]

Naturally now that I'm out of state I want to tanks.

[RoboRed]

Can you link me that crosshairs you use? I need to put that in while I'm reinstalling mods.

So, I don't think I've ever done this much damage before now...

Spoiler:

Though most of them were T8s.

I don't even think I've ever dealt that much damage...

[Vergil]

Soon as I can get at my mediafire I will

[hawkeye92]

Well, I finally got the tier 9 VK yesterday. I needed to get four thousand xp to unlock it and had to suffer though SIXTEEN defeats IN A ROW before I even got my double, let alone any hope of ditching the worthless piece of trash.

The tier 9 version seems better than the tier 8 version, sidescraping can bounce tier ten shells. The only problem is that it has to fight often the enemies' heaviest tanks head on and with the long 10.5 it's woefully inadequate.
I've had to stop playing after no less than six defeats in a row doing a grand total of maybe 2k of damage over all of them and losing a minimum of 10k of credits a match.

This is one of those times where I feel it's probably not the tank being bad, it's just my innate lack of skill in the game so when I'm not in an obviously good tank playing against utter noobs it's me causing the horrible games and by my simply being there causing my team to lose because they're effectively a man down.

[RoboRed]

Maybe you should play to the tank's innate bounciness and hold lines and bounce shots. Might be good practice anyways. From what I've heard, the Maus has a pretty crappy gun as well.
