all of us with WoT need to play together and just screw around. Or actually do something productive like form a team.

If one of you had a Maus tank. We should have a one sided battle of a single maus vs a team of Loltractors.

No, no, no.

Spacetractors are better.

And... I'm done with my mini-derail.

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.

I've got this downloaded and registered an account, but the steam sales have been keeping me busy.

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.

I have done exactly that lol. Shooting tanks...IN THE TRACKS....and doing nothing. i don't care what Tank I am shooting. but a 37mm Cannon should take out ANY tanks tracks on a Direct hit.
