Hi guys, been playing WoT since mid of July. Never tried the tier 3 and above tanks before (heard its pretty intense). Currently i'm still using PanzerJagd and collecting my credits (and getting my daily gold) to get the VK 3601 H tank. IGN = lunacy05

Yup, i'm still at the recruit battles. Trying to get my tank crew to get into 100% so when i get my tier 3 and above tank destroyers, from what i heard, you can transfer your crew to manned the similar tank type with 20% down crew experience.

Anyone tried tier 3 and above tank destroyers? Any recommendation on which tank destroyers are better? From what i read in the WoT forums, tier 3 and above tank destroyers are pretty average.

Has anyone tried using the enhancements for "increased suspension"? Does it make the tank pick-up speed faster?

I already equipped my tank destroyer with the net camouflage and the periscope to increase the view range by 20% in stationary mode

Yup, majority of the enhancements are 500k each, except for two enhancements that costs 250k. I kept converting my gold to credits to actually able to purchase the enhancements.

Lol, after spending on 1 mil for the enhancements (coz i was curious), i was pretty broke after that and now i'm just trying to collect my daily gold and get more battles to earn more credits to get a better tank. But with my tank destroyer crew up to near 100% (my gunner and driver is at 96% and my commander is at 87%), so I'm in a dillema whether to go for a medium tank or just head straight to tank destroyers (since after what you said that tank destroyers get pretty average/useless up to tier 7). So the pimping part was not intentional

Ooooo, well, i don't mind, it's expected since its CBT. But if its reset to 50%, that's still good enough for me

It was pretty lag for the past few nights ago, that i can't stand playing it. Kept dying pretty fast

I wonder if the server being overloaded?

Thank the gods that the patch delayed, i'm still rushing to get my jadpanther...

Not enough xp to get it

Hi guys, i'm back and gotten my jadgpanther. If you guys are forming a squad, can i join too? Will be great to work together

My IGN is lunacy05

I need to grind more tonight to get at least 6k more exp so i can get a better cannon for my jadgpanther! It's painful as hell when most of the time the jadgpanther's cannon can't penetrate through the heavy tank's armor and the repair/reammo is so expensive

After much grinding, i finally upgraded my jadgpanther's turret and engine (with 750 horse power), i'm quite happy with my jadgpanther at the moment. The final item to research is the treads.

to all the new guys here, join IronPisang channel in the game and look for us in the game

Depends on what sort of a play style you're aiming for. Light tanks are good for scouting for spgs and medium tanks usually are the backbone of warfare.

I never tried russian tanks though but you should stick to medium tanks as you need a better turret to penetrate the heavy's armor

I finally researched the ferdinend but i'm not in a hurry to get that (i need about 1.4 million credits to get that), so in the mean time, i'm try to grind exp to get a decent medium german tank. Any german medium tanks to recommend? I'm hoping to aim for panzer IV

It all depends on the tier tree of your tank, turret and the type of ammo you use, and where you fire at a tank's location.

HE rounds deals more damage and does AOE radius (not that big) and spreads the damage in the tank but will have a lesser armor penetration. But no matter the distance of the enemy tank, HE rounds will not be affected by range. It will still cause damage to the enemy tank (again, depending on your turret). HE rounds are excellent to cause more damage towards treads and engine, causing the enemy tank to be immobilize.

AP has more penetration and deals lesser damage. It all depends on your tank's turret. AP gold ammo has more penetration with the same damage (provided if you can fork out the gold coins coz it's expensive). Also, the longer distance your target is, the lesser your Armor Penetration will be (again, depending on your turret). Also, depending on your turrent, usually a higher damaging turret will have lesser penetration, thus, you can try to calculate the damage/penetration ratio for the turret's difference in your tank's research window.

Most of the time, if your tank is from tier 3-4, you can't damage a heavy tank at all because of your light/medium turret *(again, depending on the tank's turret in the tree). However, if a heavy tank is immobilized due to damage from engine/tracks/turret/ammo, they will have an easier take to receive damage and takes a bit more damage than earlier before.

It also depends on where you fire on a tank, the sides and back of the tank has lesser armor compared to the front. Also, by using HE and firing at the back of the tank, not only it'll damage their engine but there's a percentage on causing their engine to caught on fire.

If you're finding yourself unable to cause damage to a heavy tank, aim for their tracks to immobilize them, so your other friendlies can take em out.

Also, equip your tank with both types of ammo with AP and HE as it'll help you in the battle (HE for long range, AP for short)

Hope that helps, i never tried medium tanks before coz all the while, i'm using tank destroyers but i'm aiming for a medium tank now.

I read it in their forums and website and news from other places:

2. The clan system will be implemented into the game and when you join the clan, you and your clan mates can take over "regions" in europe. Successful takeover or defending a region will earn you free gold. (not sure how accurate this is)

3. Again, there were mention of adding infantries into the game and most likely controled by NPCs (again, not sure if this is definite info)

Yup, we need to train outselves to coordinate together, it'll be better if we could hook up, use skype for team voice speak
