Enjoy the turn replay, Des. Complete with sphincter thightening moment...[:'(]

Just hit my 500th post. Do I win a prize?

Yes. I believe that if you head to your local Domino's Pizza you get a free pizza. Just say Fred sent you.

That might work in UKland, but not here, I'm afraid.

You will need to tell them-pointedly-that if they ask you to pay, you're obliged to take a "Smith and Wesson" discount. See if that works for you.

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: DivePac88

Good morning tithe... Heavy rain overnight, and still bucketing down now, and I think it is the same system that soaked Aussie. But we need it over here as we have had no rain in 3 weeks, and temperatures in the 30s(C).

Image

We had big rain over weekend and all snow melted away... no there is almost no trace of that monster snowfall (70 cm) that happened 3 weeks ago...

Hi all,

Martin, do you have some video saves from your combat in "World of Tanks"?

I've got some, although I haven't uploaded any yet. TBH a lot of them are probably pretty boring to watch [:D] I tend to play long range tanks rather than close in brawlers. So there's a lot of skulking in bushes and shooting off a couple of rounds before relocating.

Can you upload some possibly? [:)]

BTW, have you seen my question regarding possibility of two human players in one tank - is that possible 8I played this so long ago that i forgot)?

Go for it. You know its real because they only list part of the proper name of the company but that part is in CAPS. [:D]

As a holder of Ford Motor common stock, I'm incensed. European operations have been a real drag on Ford's bottom line lately. Having a Two million Euro lottery (total = 10 million Euro purse) in a region that is a millstone for them is unconscionable! [:@]

Is someone going to get an angry letter?

Shift for gun sight and mouse wheel zooms you in. I assume you're using manual targetting?

Ah yes, mouse wheel. Thank you! To be completely honest, I cant tell. I know I tried pressing E (which is the default button) to disable auto targetting but I cant tell the difference and I dont know where the indicator is.
I've not got any heavies and only a few mediums, and none of those are Soviet. The Germans are good sniper tanks, the Russian stuff tends to be used as brawlers. Look for the stuff with the highest accuracy and penetration. Damage doesn't matter as much if you can't hit or penetrate the other stuff at long range. Tank destroyers are the 'proper' snipers.

I tried TD last night...I think I'm in love. Really awkward in city maps, but awesome on open maps. Silly question though, why would TDs be better at sniping if the use the same guns as the tanks?
From what I remember (or have shot at) from the Soviet line, the KV series are not a good choice for long range. The guns are inaccurate and (iirc have less penetration) compared to the Germans and the things are so big that it's easy to hit. But the guns do a lot of damage so get up close where the pentration doesn't drop away and shoot.

Ugh, just the sort of gameplay I suck at.
It's worth asking around the forums, there's plenty of helpful people (at least on the EU one) who know far more about Soviet stuff than I do. There are a lot of guys who have played more games in one tank than I have in total.

Also, on lower tiers don't forget to take some HE ammo. Most stuff has poor armour so the extra damage HE does to HP is useful.
Remember, as you go up the tiers your tanks get better. But so do the ones shooting back at you.

What's your username on the game? I might swing past the American server at some point.

Thanks! I'll PM you my name.

Elite is just a matter of researching all the potential modules for a tank. When you've done that you can either use the XP gained from battle to train your crew quicker or save it up and convert it to free XP (by spending gold). You pay for premium tanks, they always start as elite vehicles.

Ah, and here I thought it was a waste of money and XP. Thanks!

You don't want auto aim... it sticks with the target (usually the center of the tank) and follows it for you.. not allowing you to lead a moving tank... I use it every once in a while on a stationary tank I see from a WAAAYS away.. like a small arty unit...SU-26 for example..

I mainly use USA tanks and German tanks..

I use the M4 mainly (good mix of everything) and the M5, because I am working on getting the Chaffee, which is like 50k some exp points.. taking forever

I still think lower tiers require the most skill... the higher (6+) is all about gun size and armor...IMO.. could be wrong.. but that is what it appears from talking with peeps and poking around on the forums.. at the lower tiers..everyone is more on the same playing field, and the tanks aren't that much different tiers 1-4 IMO...
