Title: World of Tanks
Post by: Foxdonut on June 23, 2011, 10:52:41 AM

So yeah. If you haven't tried it yet, world of tanks is a free to play mmo tank game based during WWII. You have three factions to choose from tank wise; American, Russian, or German. You gain experience and credits by winning battles and that let's you get better parts and tanks as you move up in the game. I play German personally because I like their tanks the best. Try it out for yourself.

Yeah this game is great for the cost, free.  You will probably be sinking hours into this game like me.

And the Leichtetraktor is the best tank in the whole game...

The Maus is in there to kinda counter it.  The game has a lot of experimental tanks in it.

Got bored of Champions...lack of friends makes it less entetaining. gave the World of Tanks a shot. Its pretty fun, but would be more fun with friends to play with, and to much grinding is not easy to earn your next tank.

I have to say that when it comes to erning cash thats its downfall since its hard to get new tanks, besides that its decent.

then again there are only so many tanks to get so...it is possibly understandable.

Yeah you do have to grind pretty hard, but they will be adding more tanks over time.

Autocannons can work for the first three tiers but when you get there normal cannons are better anyways.

I imagine so, however with my T1 cunningham the normal gun was about as useful as throwing a rock out the top hatch

and that was the best of the T1 tanks

I figured out why no one goes for US mediums

The M3 Lee. Now I know I say this tank is bad or that tank is bad however nothing can prepare you for this. Its a hetzer with a very high profile, the speed of a heavy tank and the armour of a lower tier medium. Whats worse, I have to grind 13000 xp and 250 000 cash to get out of it.

Quick side note, once you get to a tier 8 heavy you will want a premium account because it's expensive to upkeep especially if you loose battles.

Finally ended up trying it out for a while the other day and I'm not sure I really enjoy it.

It seems to put a heavier emphasis on 'the maths' than player skill. Got sick of losing engagements because I flanked some guy's tank, shot him in the rear twice and had it bounce off, and then getting instakilled through my front armor. And the way accuracy works is irritating to me. There's no gravity, although you do seem to have to lead, but all the innacuracy is apparently due to the fact that the barrel is shaped like a cone.

It's silly because they tell you in the in-game tips that light tanks are dead if they stop moving in a fight, then if you do anything but stop dead every time you want to fire you won't be able to hit anyone beyond two feet in front of you. D:

Only time I had any fun at all was when I got a T18, upgraded it with an AT howitzer, and ripped open a bunch of poor newbies loltraktors with it in one shot while ignoring all the return fire. And even then it wasn't particularly satisfying since it was basically a guaranteed win, because of the maths.  :/

This game attempts realism. But it doesn't succeed. Cause technically a light tank could beat a heavier tank by flanking and outmanuevering, but it isn't possible in many cases, cause being out classed makes many tanks nearly Immune to tanks of a lower class. I can understand hitting frontal armor and not doing anything but hitting them where its weakest and still not doing anything is just plain BS.

It'd be "funny" taking potshots at the tracks with the projectiles hitting and "bouncing off" like that.

Maybe the tracks however there are a lot of late war tanks that can shrug off a 37mm at point blank in the rear. I know for a fact that the IS2 could.

Just had an Intense Light tank battle. We started off defending but then idiots among my ranks arose. So we were down by four and the other team had us out tanked but i told my team to sit tight until they enemy made mistakes. and one by one we killed off any one who stuck their turret out. then they got bold and rushed us making us think they were on the defense while four of them came from behind. I rushed back to base and help fend them off loosing team mates in the process. I was really messed up, my tracks were both damaged and i had been immobilized twice. My engine bit the dust, but my crew managed to resurrect it, but now i was a snail. soon it was just me and one other tank. we killed the two who had distracted us as they came out of hiding right after we saved the base. so it was two to two now. And I was in no shape for anything but i pushed on. we creep around the base sticking to the underbrush, then as soon as the enemy made their move we drove out of cover and hunted them down. and then as I shot the last one I ran out of ammo and yet the enemy lived, but my ally saved my ass at the last second winning the game.

Just researched the Leopard light tank. I have to say is probably the best light Tank. Sadly will take along time to get the money to purchase said tank... anyways....I got the Mini Leo. the Luchs.  Always willing to play with you guys. help make the time i spend gathering money a little easier. :P I don't play as much as you guys so it takes me a while to get tanks. :(
Also I decided to purchase the crew before the tank. so i can have a decent trained crew to pop in the tank when i get it.
Let me know.

Panther 2 will beat out a pershing in a field battle every time, and its about a 60% chance of winning in a city, but that Pershing is mean if it backs you into a corner. I died from one yesterday in the Panther II.

Play Pz IV.

Playing on assault Game mode, on map with train through the middle.

Go off on your own, snipe solo, kill 5 tanks, including enemy heavies.

Rest of team dies, almost kill KV-1, but to little to late, get killed, could have solo'd the rest of the battle if my team had survived the rest of the battle.

End result is 23,000 credits......but only 630 EXP. *Flips table*

Out of all the tier 5 tanks, I have to say the Pz IV is the best. Its the only tank I have played to 100% crew training. It is seriously an awesome sniping tank, pretty much able to kill all the other tier 5 with ease.

THough same can be said about other tier 5s but the Pz 4 is the best sniper, KV-1 may have a bigger sniper gun, but PZ 4 in my opinion beats it, in view range and reload speed

Panzer 4 is playing  good so no complaints.

However it isn't the God sniper of the tier 5s any more, but is a mobile mid range support sniper now.

Tried British tanks. Horrid absolutely Horrid.

It doesn't seem to get better any time soon either.

Umm besides that recently played some games with a buddy. Slowly but sure gaining more EXP. Probably will make use of the free Premium some time when I have a load of free time to play. Can't wait to actually get a heavy worth playing :P

Apparently its supposed to be a stationary spotter tank. Making use of its camo value and hiding in enemy lines viewing the enemy and retreating upon discovery.

As it can't really compete with other scouts that are faster and have better guns.

Yeah, I love the leopard as a tank, but I despise the role of scouting in such high tier matches, in lower tier i Don't mind as I won't get one shotted by everything and its a little more forgiving, but the I always seem to get tracked, its terrible, I need a new play style for it, think i will try a stealthy approach and see how that works.

I started playing British tanks when they came out, kinda fun, once you get to tier ten this game loses appeal

Well... they are adding the Leopard 1 as a German Medium Tier 10 so there is appeal now.

As in the modern day Leopard? I thought WoT only did WWII-era tanks.

I have my M48, I have a M103, could go for a T110 but it won't offer much more than what I already have, I also have my favorite tank in the game, the IS3

And early cold war, the Germans were the only ones without cold war tanks.

Just researched the Jagdpanzer IV. I hear it is quite bad and is not a sniper like other German TDs, especially with it having the same gun every tier six German medium gets. I also read to use it for flanking and being on the move.

I won't have to worry about that yet though as I am gonna head for my first tier 5 heavy, I went for the French BDR G1, cause I just want it so bad, It looks like a toy tank! :D

Well I have my BDR G1. Its a pain in the ass, but I have a gun that can hurt things now, Just need to research the Turret, then Bam, I will have the best gun of all the tier 5 heavies. Freaking going from a tier 5 gun to a tier 7.

Its basically the tiger of its class, more of a sniper than anything.

Just unlocked the Tiger P. gonna save up money and free experience before getting it. That way I can get the new tracks immediately. Looks like it will be some fun once I get its top gun.

Got the Tiger P's Top Gun.

Liking the gun, good pen and reasonable damage. Reload isn't the greatest though. Good thing I have the gun rammer.

Welp since I am the only active person interested in this game, on this site at least, might as well make an update to my progress.

I made it to the next German Heavy tanks in the Maus line. the VK 45.02 A. Its a fun tank, you have to play it right though as it is more a medium hunter than a brawler heavy tank. Its gun pen is sub par compared to same tier heavies, but it makes up for it with speed, being closer to a medium than a heavy. In terms of armor though it can quite easily bounce same tier medium guns when angled, and with top turret. So yeah, its meant to just flank, and try to either overwhelm mediums, or remain a target of least priority so you can flank the slower heavies.

I also have been moving along the Leopard 1 medium line and am  over half way in exp to unlocking the indien panzer. the current tank, the VK 3002 D is fun, and out paces the panther in speed, but doesn't have the panther's amazing long 75mm. You can load either the L/70 75mm or the L/56 8'8cm. One has better pen and lower damage, and vice versa for the other. I prefer the L/70 75mm for is reload speed, and its more reliable pen. While it can't take anything from the front with its pen, its more forgiving hitting the sides. the 88 in my experience bounces more often than not, so I tend to stay away from it, mostly because I hear many that do use it just load Premium rounds to compensate, and thats not worth it to me.

I am looking forward to the Indien and plan on buying the Lowe at some point as well just to have the set of unique round turret German tanks.

I just flat out abandoned my account. Too much grind involved for my tastes.

I find the grind satisfying once you are in an enjoyable tank. Its hard to find usually as most tanks are terrible stock.

Its no more grindy than any other Free-to-play game though.

Yes, quite true. Which is why I almost don't play F2P games.

So the Indien I was talking about getting. Bought that today. Gonna wait a bit before I kit it out or play it, since I may get some free gold soon so I will be able to free EXP the tracks then earn the rest.

Almost got indien maxxed out, need engine then it should no longer be so sluggish.

Also working on new line of french medium tanks, which leads up to the Renault G1, also known as the Char G1. The Renault has a modified turret. I want it cause it looks like a mini version of my BDR G1B which also is cute because it looks like a toy tank.

Another update since only I really care about this game. :P

Just started a new heavy tank line and got up to the tier seven. This specific line is none other than the japanese heavy/superheavy tank line. over half of these tanks are entirely blueprint only tanks, and some may have been contructed partially then scrapped due to need of the steel for other projects.

These tanks are fun as hell once you get past the nightmare that is tier 2-4. Tier 4 being the worst of all. But after that atrocity you get a tier 5 100 ton super heavy...yes at tier 5. It is amazing, and fun as hell, it has armor identical to a KV-1 but, not as bouncy due to alot of flat surfaces. however you are compensated with 105mm cannon at tier 5 with 300 dmg average. It is a brawler like no other. I also forgot to mention its as fast as a medium tank.... 40km/h. When you have the top engine at least. So Ram killing is very much a thing. Invest in the ramming skill for the driver. However be ready to be a big target for arty, and not be very tough due to bad armor profile.

tier 5 (https://pp.vk.me/c624630/v624630938/41722/MH1deZ5cuaU.jpg)

at tier 6 its the same tank but heavier. because the armor was doubled, on bother the front and rear, as well as the turret. 150mm armor on all sides of the turret and the front and back of the hull, only 70mm on the side. Your stock gun is a pretty good 105mm with 175mm pen, and a meh reload. the next gun is a derp gun, a 15cm derp. You are a super armored kv-2, with a slightly worse reload, but slightly better aim, and better pen for ap ammo, and pretty good heat ammo. You lose pen on the HE so it is not as likely to pen armor, but it is still viable. as I said with the AP it is better at 121mm of pen, meaning you can wreck tier 5's with it and surprise tier 6's with insta death and even bewilder tier 7's and 8's with good shots at sides and weak spots.

tier 6 (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLFWbB_WwAACHYT.jpg:large)

at tier 7 we get better frontal armor of 175mm on a decently sloped front, still 70 on the sides of the hull and 150 on the rear. the turret gets 200 at the front now, but 150 on all other sides, however the cheeks are well sloped giving excellent armor from the front. The stock gun is the same 105 from the tier six, and we also can still use the 15cm cannon, with an even better reload from a platform that is higher than other tanks, meaning you can shoot into the top armor of tanks who are close to you. the final gun is another 105 with worse reload than the stock one, but higher pen at 190mm, just shy of the same pen as the t29's top gun, it has a better reload than the t29 as well, and exactly the same gun handling as the t29's gun. However I have found that I still prefer the 15cm on this tank, its pen is not as reliable with ap, but I can always hurt thing with he in it, and a roughly 19 second reload isn't too bad. Which gun you choose depends on preference, I tried the 105, but it makes this tank less reliable since it is big and slow you want some fear factor with your gun. With the 105 you are more support than anything unless you are top tank. With the derp, you can brawl and always cause good damage. another thing to note is while this tank is taller and has more armor than the tier 6, it is lighter. Then again it isn't as wide as the previous tank.

tier 7 (http://static-ptl-sg.gcdn.co/dcont/fb/image/o-ni_3.jpg)


The tier 8 gets even better but I won't write much on it till I experience it myself.

World of Warships has been taking up most of my F2P war games.  Admiral Hipper is too fun, love my Kriegmarine ships.
