/jp/-related how?

>>6511784
Are YOU /jp/ related?
Also you spam the thread every time, I have to commend you for your dedication. Will you keep it up even after WoT hits retail?

>>6511802
He probably won't have to, since the majority of /jp/ will drop it like every FotM game

Screenshots? What does this game look like?

For some reason, after doing pretty damn well all day today, I started getting spotted from across half the map and furiously assraped by the enemy artillery, despite not doing anything different than before.
Weird.
Does this game have any kind of skill/statistics-based balancing system? Or is it only tier-based?

>>6511832
Here's a screenshot.

An interesting bullet hit: peeled off a strip of armor, by the looks of it

>>6511858
Is your tank Russian? If no, then it's all tier based, though skill may help you avoid a shot or two. that's if you don't travel in a pack of three or four tanks and rape all the stands before you.

any arty folks out here tell me should I hop to the Priest from the M3 Lee or work my way up from the T57?

keep in mind that I've never played SPGs

>>6511865
Nah, you misunderstood me - what I asked was if the placement in random games was only sorted by tiers, or by battle results(kill/death/damage, etc) as well.
Also yes, my tank is russian, that cute little bastard SPG with its rotating turret.

Why is this /jp/?

It's even worse that you turn the game into "/jp/" via gimmick themes and clans

>>6511887
I see you didn't read the update. I feel no compulsion to enlighten you.

>>6511873
It'll cost you less if you went from T57 to M37 and then priest than if you went from M3 Lee to M7 Priest just because you need 30K research going from the Lee

shitty game, must be banned from /jp/.

>>6511901
did you get oneshotted?

>>6511878
Yes it's sorted by tiers.

God, I love my Churchill. Got thrown into several low-tier games with it today. And suddenly that slowass shitty crate becomes lumbering death, machinegunning down all those low-tier lights and mediums with the 6-pounder and its high accuracy and ROF while just laughing off hits from all those 50mm peashooters.

The one game they actually managed to kill me, it took 5 enemy tanks almost two minutes to kill me and I shredded three of them. The drawback is that I barely reach the mighty speed of 27 km/h. While going downhill.

>69 901 credits.
I think I never got that much.
>21 Shots, 18 hits the target.
>100% HP.
That explains this.

2 KV-3, a Ferdinand, and my first Maus.
He sure took lots of shells.

Ok, after getting my Luchs fully upgraded I found another fun part of the game - and so, I have a question.
What is, after being fully upgraded, the fastest tank in the game?

>>6512040
A-20

I fucked up in allocatingmy shit and pretty much flushed 400k credits down the toilet, any way to reset account without making a new one?

...How did this happen

I got stuck on top of a wrecked tank haha.

>>6512040
>fastest tank in the game?
There are several that can clear 70kph. The M2 Light comes to mind.

>>6512051
>reset account?
Nope, though there's no huge reason to make a new one.

Stuck on a destroyed tank.

together forever ;_;

Why is this called Panzermoe? None of the screenshots in this thread look moe.

Also, any reason why I should play this?

I don't understand how this became /jp/ related.

>>6512112
It's not supposed to make sense, it's spam.

>>6512112
Kids run /jp/ nowadays.

>>6512112
Meido is sleeping.

>>6512121
You haven't seen the skinned Maus or Hetzers yet. Also, see >>6511905

Theres 26 decals which you can use on your tank from just there, plus all of the Danbooru transparent_png's. Some people don't mod their tanks simply because they don't have the tools to do it. Also, no fun I guess.

>>6512152
we've had many threads before this one, none of which were deleted by janitor or meido.

>>6512153
why bother modding it if no one else will see it?
At least people could see it in cosmic break

/jp/ - MMO of the month/general

>hey look at me I'm going to brag about my mad skillz at choosing overpowered shit on the garage screen

This is fun once you get into it.

I started playing SPGs today and it's a lot more fun. One question though. Which tier VI SPG is the best on the Russian side?

I love watching arty change trajectory mid air just to hit me. Anyone else notice that, or is it just some odd bug?

When is the full game coming out? Will beta players keep all their stuff?

>>6512286
>Russian T6 SPGs
The SU-14 has more HP and fires faster
The S-51 has more armor, turns faster, and moves faster

Personally I'll be going for the S-51 because I appreciate the maneuverability.

>>6512349
ALso: S-51 requires a horribly long grind with the KV.

>>6512377
Versus a horribly long grind in the SU-8?

>>6512377
And this is why I'm going for the SU-14, I don't enjoy playing as tanks nearly enough to grind with them.
Even though playing SPGs is frustrating as hell sometimes, just got off a game where I missed like 5-6 shots because some dude where moving right after I clicked - despite staying perfectly still all the other time. I even thought that maybe he timed it to my reload, so I waited few seconds longer, yet the same thing happened.
Dunno, maybe I was fighting Satori or something(though I don't know how mind reading would work trough the internet, but hey, it's magic).
Well, I still got my 5 kills in the end, so it's fine.

>>6512395
I suggest that you make a "side route" with the german artilleries if you're going for rossian artillery.
After earning enough free EXP, spend it on tractor -> panzer 2 -> wespe. The wespe should be great for venting frustrations you'll inevitably face with the su-5.

I got all excited when I saw this thread because I thought it was a mecha musume game. Oh well.

>>6512411
I actually got wespe before changing my mind and switching to the russkies.
It's... nice, especially the range but without the 100% crew and with the slow firing rate, I missed way too many shots to enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying my SU-26 now.

>>6512457
Well I'm going to make a suggestion I've been passing around a lot, but I feel needs to be said: The ammo capacity on the SU-5's biggest gun is too small, you'll run out of rounds halfway through the match every time, so stick to the second largest.

>>6512483
To add to this, you'll regularly ding anything heavier than a KS-3 for ~5% at best with the heavier gun, and I'd imagine it to be even worse with the smaller gun.
Hence, take out some frustration with wespe.

In other news, the su-8 is FUCKING AWESOME GODDAMN

I played my T57 last night, and I guess very little people were on because matchmaking took like a minute to start and I was being place with high tiers.

Felt bad, man. It was the first time I ended matches with no kills or hits.

Oh well, I guess I'm getting hold of my jTaiga.

>>6512571
Whats up with your mumble ui?

>>6512483
>>6512514
I saw that before, and I dunno about it.
Now I rarely use more than 18-20 shots per turn, I'd rather have more firepower than more ammo. And if I want to, I can waste even less ammo - I decided it would be nice to get me a sniper medal once, and just... got it. Though normally I do a bunch of semi-blind shots on weak targets if that gets me even one kill more. I had some few shitty games(lol@5 games in a row with no kills and no survivals), but now it's fine, and I usually get my 1-4 kills every game, depending on tier.
Of course, if switching to SU-5 will get me in high tier match every game, then tough shit, time to get on with the paint scratching. But if not, I'll take the bigger penis enhancement device, even if it'll require a bit more patience.

>>6512381
The SU-14 costs about 15k xp less and SU-8 players tend to get a few more kills most of the time than KV drivers.

>>6512598
driving the KV is like driving a huge billboard telling everyone "FREE KILL ON A HEAVY TANK HERE".

>>6512604
>"FREE KILL ON A HEAVY TA-"
>*BOOM*
>...FUCK
I quite enjoy the 152mm when it's loaded and ready to fire.

>>6512576
No idea, it always gets fucked up when someone joins/quits.

Games full of tanks with two TDs and a single SPG on each team where still EVERYBODY FUCKING CAMPS BASE make me lose my faith in humanity a bit.

>>6512647
Just say fuck it, go suicide recon and get into another game.

>>6512647
Games where everyone except me and other dude rush through a side and promptly get swamped are worse for me.

Also, protip if you are in a Sherman/will be in one: the Howitzer damages IS-3s, the M1A1 doesn't. Research the M1A1 if you wish, but stick to the Howitzer

Please refrain from using huge avatars on Mumble, one of the admins is very unhappy about this and said that if you guys do something stupid again he'll kick you out forever.

>>6512755
why is it that all our voip servers have had dick administration?

>>6512755
Other than someone having aparently too large avatars I can't think of anything we've done that might've crossed any rules.
The admin in question is a faggot.

>>6512780
>>6512793
He's one of the people that pays for the server, so technically he can do what he wants when he wants to.

Just like any person paying for a server.

I told you guys from the beginning on that the Mumble is from a german TF2 community that's pretty tight-knit, so you're the first real exception ever. I'd love for you guys to stay, but as I've said, I like playing WoT with you guys and would follow on any available VoIP server.

>>6512839
It's not even that, but the fact of what they did to the panzermoe group, provoking and attempting to get us removed in the first place, and being overall dicks to us.

>>6512850
Which were a few people. I've made sure that your side of the story also reaches those in charge and they know.

Does anyone else have performance issues? I have everything on low including resolution and I still can't get a solid 30fps and stutter like a bitch. I have a decent PC too and run most games np.

>>6512915
I get perfect fps, no stuttering, at high resolution and medium settings. Your PC might be less decent than you thought.

>>6512915
I have a really, really low fps, but it doesn't stutter at all, and it's quite playable - connection lag that appears like once every two games is more of a problem.
I couldn't even tell my fps is that low if it wasn't displayed, it's so unnoticeable.

>>6512839
Acting like a buttroast dictator because he pays for the server is unaccetable... and also horseshit.
I'll be damned if I'm going to live under any form of opression.

>>6512993
We'd be happy to move to your server if you pay for it.

>>6512915

I have the same problem. Most MMOs expect everyone to have an autist level gaming PC. You have to deal with shitty framerates and radar lag.

>>6513082
But I can play Eve Online on highest settings with bloom and everything in rather large gang battles with 30fps.

>>6513021

>>6513296
It is done.

>>6513517
Not quite yet, but when it is it'll be huge.

>>6513534
>>6513534
IT IS DONE.

solid 37+fps with 16x anisotropic and every single setting maxed out edge detect AA triple buffering and 1080P

I do have out of memory errors when I play for 5+hrs even with 8gb ram and a 1gb gfx card. There is a slow ram leak problem with the current client.

>>6513634
Das ist unverzeihlich! Sie werden dafür bezahlen, Panzerliebenswert!

Du denkst du bist toll, aber Sie sind wirklich verrückt! Unser Admin erhalten Sie alle Verbot von dem Server, und Sie werden keinen Platz haben, um Ihre dumm Clan Orgien haben! Morans!

>>6513700
Specially obvious in Ensk and to a lesser extent Himmelsdorf for me. Those maps take far long to load than the others

>>6514268
-Ensk&Himmelsdorf

Maps with lots of objects (buildings) on it

-Everything else

OPEN FIELD WITH SOME BUILDINGS


If you didn't understand it: Buildings = additional models with additional textures = additional work for CPU and GPU-tan

just got my sherman I love it so much I don't want to lvl up the M3 lee for the T1 heavy but if I don't I'll never get the T30 invincible turret

Full version needs to have a pawn shop where you can sell medals for gold.
What the hell am I even supposed to do with all those confederate medals anyway.

>>6514641

Pass them down to your grandkids.

>>6514641
Collect them. When you've gathered a hundred of them then take a screenshot for bragging rights.

>>6514659
>>6514668
Other medals, fine, but the "I get ksed a lot" one is hardly an achievement.

The game got so much more fun once I got my Tiger, my only problem is that my credits gain has dropped, a lot. Which of the two is generally more profitable credit-wise, SPG or TD?

>>6514806

I'm only at tier III SPG and tier IV TD, but based on that I'd say SPG. You rarely have to spend money repairing unless your team is trash.

I just send them an email to get in the closed beta, I have some questions to ask.

1. How long I have to wait until I get my code?
2. Which country is /jp/ fighting for?
3. Which tank is the best in your opinion?
4. If my playstyle is to have the absolute most powerful gun, supporting my team in a push, which tank should I use?
5. What are the pros and cons of the different tank types? (Light, Heavy, etc.)

>>6514814
>You rarely have to spend money repairing unless your team is trash
Depends whether you move out or just camp base with your SPG.
Since I got short range I often move around the map, and that means I sometimes die even if my team wins.
But I still get more than enough money, by the time I'll get exp for tier IV I'd have earned enough to easily buy it(without using the money I had before I got this SPG).

>>6514849
>1. How long I have to wait until I get my code?
6-8 hrs. I got mine in less than 5 hrs after registration

>2. Which country is /jp/ fighting for?
depends on what tanks you'd prefer, there are at least 50+ tanks to choose from the three nations Germany(Nazi), Russia(Soviet Red Army), and the USA(allied)

>3. Which tank is the best in your opinion?
almost all, they are balance on performance, just depends on the knowledge of who uses it

>4. If my playstyle is to have the absolute most powerful gun, supporting my team in a push, which tank should I use?
Heavy tanks, they are slow but they carry the firepower and armor to kill and run over any tanks smaller than them that gets in their way

>5. What are the pros and cons of the different tank types? (Light, Heavy, etc.)
Light- fast high mobile with large signal range(scouting). low armored fragile vehicles, used only for scouting for artillery attacks

Medium- balanced between light and heavy tanks, usually goes in the front line, rams light vehicles, and provides good escort for TDs and artillery, no match against heavy tanks, artillery can easily kill them if spotted

Heavy- behemoth of the group, walking monsters that crush and kills anything or tanks that get in their way, slow moving(very slow), can't barely defend itself when out gunned needs supporting fire from allies

TD(tank destroyers)- ambush or sniping vehicles, can kill light tanks in one shot(if know where to hit them) can damage bigger tanks, decent armor, but cannot traverse its gun while moving forward usually stuck in the forward of the tank

artillery(arty)-long range killers that take out tanks half a map away, good for supporting fire for attacking groups of tanks, slow thinly armored and totally useless without scouting and protection from bigger tank allies

>>6514915

If say a heavy and a TD is shooting at each other with no support from teammates. Which would usually sand victorious? I'm also kinda confused about the differences between TD and Artillery, since both excels in long range combat.

>>6515006
It depends mostly on the position and the skill. But on a flat ground with no borders or anything, a Heavy would win if he'd go around the TD.

TDs do direct hits, Arties do air-hits from anywhere on the map.

>>6514849
1. Took only like 6 hours for me, can get one instantly from mmohut.
2. You can freely switch between any tank currently, you aren't limited to any one faction, and all games are mixed-faction tanks. There will be modes later on where its Germany vs Russia vs US vs Whatever countries they add later (Japan is one confirmed)
3. US tanks have the shittiest armor in the game, honestly i'm not even sure what their plus-side is, Russia has superior firepower, highest damaging guns in the game, Germany has highest armor in the game, and fairly high penetration and firepower. I'd go with Germany, but the developers favor Russia (because they are Russian).
4. Most powerful gun? Russia, their cannons have at least double the damage, but not penetration of the other factions. They also have the only tier-6 artillery for now. As far as support goes theres a variety of ways to be helpful to your team, rarely its a full-on offensive push.
5. Light tanks are useless, sorry. Its just a practice go before you get to medium.
Medium tanks are mostly scouting, they rush in, detect all the enemy locations for your team and die. Sometimes they can get lucky and take out one or two artillery, which is EXTREMELY helpful.
Heavy tanks do all the work, which is shooting the fuck out of all the other tanks, and laughing as light and medium tanks run in fear.
TD's are ambush or backup, they have the highest penetration so they can easily punch through heavy tank armor, but also low armor themselves making them somewhat vulnerable.
Artillery basically hang back, find a bush to hide in and lob shots all over the damn place and target heavies because they're one of the few that can shut them up.

>>6515006
Heavy would win, not many TDs can one shot a lot of heavys.. And the heavy tank has just enough penetration and firepower to one-shot most TDs.

German TDs can probably survive an extra hit though.

>>6515013
One more thing, after digging through the WoT Tankopedia, I found out that the SPG S-51 has a gun that does 1850/1450/1850 damage, the highest I can find. Is this suppose the master spark of the tanks or is there some really bad downside to it that I should know?

>>6515064
It can one shot my jTaiga.
I guess the down side is few ammos or something.

>>6515075
>>6515037
>>6515013
>>6514915
Thanks bros. Goodluck and godspeed on whatever you're currently doing.

>>6515064

It can only get off about one shot per minute. Probably has no ammo as well.

Sorry, one last question, and I'm done.

Which is more important, damage or penetration?

>>6515164
Without penetration, the most you can do is blow off the enemy's tracks making them immobile, fuck up their gun, general annoyances that still cripple them when fighting anybody else.

If you want to actually KILL them, you need to at least be able to penetrate their armor. Honestly starting out you'll be having a fuck of a time with this no matter which faction you play, unless you play TDs. In which then you'll just be doing like maybe 5% damage altogether to the higher-up tanks.

tl;dr - as long as you dont try to pick a fight with a heavy tank as a light or medium, its not too big of a deal.

>>6515197
Also remember that just because you have AP rounds, the game also takes angle of deflection into account.

If you plink the armor at a 35 degree angle, it can bounce off even if you have superior penetration.
Go for flats, try to hit side or ass armor. Some tanks have higher turret armor than body armor.

>>6515209
>Also remember that just because you have AP rounds, the game also takes angle of deflection into account.

I did not know that.

Just starting out, bought a Panzerkampfwagon II and its starting gun seems like crap. Maybe it's just that I was fighting a medium tank, but I think I'll stick with my Leichttraktor's second upgrade for the time being.

Oh, and can someone explain to me the whole thing with training and "major qualifications"? Why shouldn't I just take my tank crew from tank to tank?

>>6515245
Also: it turns out I meant my Leichttraktor's standard weapon.

>>6515197
If you blow off their tracks, your artillery/heavy tanks on your flank might rape it to shit.
...Not likely though. Don't depend on it, at least. It does happen in higher level matches though.

>>6515245
Leichtraktor is pretty awful, really just do what you can to not die.. You could probably run in and scout, you gain bonus experience for 1: damaging enemies 2: detecting enemies 3: killing enemies 4: capturing the base.

Also SELL THE VALENTINE! Its pretty bad stat-wise and its FREE 200,000 CREDITS. You WILL want these.

>>6515256
You can train new recruits for free up to 50% with any tank. They level up by themselves as you gain experience. If you move a crew to a NEW tank, they take negatives because they are in an unfamiliar tank they trained with (I think this goes away over time).

The higher the percent, the better they are at their particular job.. Ammo loaders will load ammo slightly faster, drivers will turn and drive faster, gunners aim faster, spotters can see a little better, etc.

Its not noticable at first, but the difference between a 50% crew and a 100% crew is pretty big. I wouldn't waste the money on training untill you are at least tier 6 or higher.

>>6515341
Ah, I see. So I might as well move my guys from tank to tank, then, as long as I'm willing to take the penalty for a short time. Eventually they'll get to 100%, right?

And what's this about "major qualification"? In the tanker menu there's options for training them in a selection of tanks, but not all of them.

>>6515341
I really don't see anything wrong with starting as early as tier 4 when they are quite literally throwing gold at you every day.

>>6515362
Major qualification is, well, I guess it's something that will come sooner or later.
You can't train your crew to be able to drive every tanks whenever you wankt. You will always have to retrain them.

>>6515362
I think major qualification is only if they're at 100%, they'll get a bonus to things like putting out fires or repairs. Also if you use the menu to retrain, they will go right back to 50/75/100% so be aware of that.

You'll get a free crew at 50% with each tank so unless your previous crew is over 70% already its not worth the effort of transferring them over.

>>6515369
The gold is best saved up to get a month of "premium"

30 days of bonus 50% exp and credits, and you'll make enough to buy another 30 days long before that expires. If you're patient and just save up untill then it'll be a smooth ride.

Then you can spend that gold on shit like fancy ammo or converting it to credits or crew training.

How do I install the Touhou tankmen pack?

>>6515546
http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/6482611#p6482621

Wait, can you get gold in ways other than by buying it?

>>6515560
Not until the game comes out of beta.

Oh.

So, what do you mean, "throwing gold at you every day"?

>>6515590
You get 150 everyday.

If my crew gets killed and my tank is still operable, do I have to sit through the battle?

>>6515611
Your crew can get wounded but not killed.
They will be less efficient but you still can manage to do your job.

>>6515341
>they take negatives because they are in an unfamiliar tank they trained with (I think this goes away over time)
>(I think this goes away over time)
Can anyone confirm that?
Sounds too good to be true, but it would be great.

;_; thanksgiving dinner food poisoning = fail.

I was up all night last night and I haven't eaten anything appreciable in about 30 hours.

I'll be back on to rub rub once I'm feeling better.

>>6515681
;_;

>>6515618
No, I mean every one of my little dudes took a shell up the ass, and I can't move, but I still have HP.

>>6515722
Well it just means that your engine or tracks are dead and they will be fixed by your crew.

are there side machine guns in this game or secondary weapons? or is there just the main gun?

>>6515815
Just the main gun. Though there are machine guns on some tanks.

>>6515822
o alright i was just wondering, also should i buy the spgs t57? it looks really coo.

>>6515741
Don't you get it? There is no crew. My engine is running, my tracks are fine. EVERYONE. IS. DEAD. My driver is out, the gunner would cover his position, but the gunner's out, too. And there's no one to cover the gunner's position. Just two corpses in that rumbling metal shell of death. Do I still have to stick around to get exp when that happens?

>>6515898
see >>6515618
Even if they are all wounded you can still do stuff.

>>6515944
see >>6515898
I couldn't do stuff, despite the fact that all the stuff was working. Fuck damn it all, do you think you're trolling or something? If so, 10/10 'cause I am fucking pissed now. I can only hope someone else will be able to answer this. Apparently, the devs were smart enough to know that a cabinful of injured men won't get anything done even though the players aren't smart enough to expect that.

>>6515980
Take it easy.
They get wounded, they never die even if they are killed. They are just less efficient.

>>6516095
So is that it? "Take it easy" has become the /jp/ analog to "u mad"?

Okay. So maybe the guys aren't dead. Maybe they're just comatose. Unconscious. Out for the count. Do you even know why they are less efficient? THEY CAN'T MOVE AND SOMEONE ELSE IS COVERING THEIR POSITION. So what happens when no one is left to cover that position? YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. Get it? YOU CAN'T HAVE SOMEONE COVER TWO POSITIONS IF THERE'S NOBODY LEFT. YOU NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE UNINJURED PERSON FOR A TANK TO FUNCTION. Seriously. How much clearer can I make it?

>>6516156
u mad
Trolling aside Mayhem probably never spent enough time in a low tier tank to get in a situation where all his crew members get hit - higher tier tanks have bigger crews. Hell, it didn't happen to me either.
Anyway, once your tank is out of commission for whatever reason you can just exit the battle and get into another one with a different tank - you still get the exp and cash, just once the battle has ended.

>>6516156
And you're writing about this here.... Why? There's a suggestion and bug forum, as well as general chat room in game where they have GMs there most of the time who are far better able to handle your complaint.

>>6516156
Yeah, don't forget you can leave the battle and start a new one with another tank in your hangar.

>>6516223
I am asking here because it is neither a suggestion nor a bug, but a question. I thought it might be a common experience here. I thought it would just be an easy "yes" or "no". And then this Mayhem shows up telling me that what happened to me didn't actually happen. Do try to understand what's going on before clamping your lips solidly onto his penis.

>>6516210
Thank you.

God dammit people are fucking retarded beyond belief.
Someone jokingly said "for the fuhrer" at the beginning of the game, and some moron teamkilled him, called him racist of all things, and threatened to report.
Also, is the "accelerate crew training" thing bugged or what? They seem to level slower now, but maybe I just expected too much.

>>6516297

>Also, is the "accelerate crew training" thing bugged or what?

It seemed to be the same to me. I don't know if it's bugged or just unnoticeable. Maybe in the higher tiers where you earn more exp it makes a difference.

>>6515679
Bumping for an answer.
Also, related question, how exactly are the penalties counted? Last time I tried this with different tank it was -14 or so, now it's -25.
>>6516391
Hmm, guess I'll turn it off for now, I can always use that bit of additional free exp, even if I have to pay gold to use it.

>>6516294
If the loader would take the place of the "dead" driver both the drive and the load would be slow. That's just an example but no it does not work like that. They are just wounded. Don't forget that it's a game, it's just a gameplay feature.

> They seem to level slower now
The training progression is logarithmic that's why.

>>6516568
So you're calling the crew a bunch of liars. When they scream, "We're covering his position," they are, in fact, not covering anything at all. Instead, they go about their business, leaving his limp, wriggling body to do what must be done. But what the hell's the point of lying like that?

>>6516614
It's not a realistic game besides the sounds, graphics and some stats. They do not lie to you since they do not exist. The devs are lying to you if you want. It's just a gameplay feature, like damaged tracks. Do you really think they can fix it so fast?
Now I'm the one that feels being trolled.

>>6516650
If you feel like you're being trolled, I can't help that, but the way you flamboyantly display your ignorance is irking.

One of the game's features is that when all your men are out of commission, your tank is out as well. I mentioned it in a post. You wrongly denied that it was a feature. I got pissed. Maybe you'll continue being ignorant. I'll stop caring. Let's move on.

for those kits you can buy in the store, is it for 1 tank only or does it work on all your tanks? like if I buy the higher octane gas is it locked to one tank or does it work for all tanks?

>>6516981
Only on one tank. Only one match if it's used (octane for example is consumed automatically).

>>6516744
got mad a little quick there, didn't you?Perhaps you should go back to /v/ where you will feel more comfortable. Take it easy~

>>6517017

You kids are so hypocritical and self-centered is quite saddening that you guys are the majority on /jp/, just because you think you're material is more worthwhile than everyone else's.

>>6517328
Just register with Mmohut to get the code instantly.

By the way, SU-5's lack of rotating turret fucked up my strategy bad enough that I didn't even notice the low ammo.

im about to buy a Panther and of course..ill do a skin for it..thinking of Lucchini but i shalt welcome others ideas
ill share my works later if anyone is interested

>>6517333
Hypocrisy is unavoidable in life, as people's views are always shifting.
Self-centered, I'll give you. NOthing wrong with voicing an opinion, including voicing one that says someone else's opinion sucks.

According to my internal logic, this is not hypocritical, and I can talk for hours as to why that is. Do you really want to continue to derail the thread, or can we let bygones be bygones?

>>6516744
I have never ever seen this happen before even when I was in a low tier tank, clearly Mayhem never did either, I've never even heard of this happening from anyone before now. Thus it's understandable that no one could give you a straight answer since none of us have ever seen it, only partial crew losses which just result in reduced performance.

>>6517350
How is it not hypocritical? You guys post that your opinions and content belong here and is /jp/ related on the sole grounds of you liking it, yet you shun every person who disagree with you and name-call them trolls while you ignore them.

Also, not every person who disagrees with these threads dislike it because of the just the content and if it's related or not.

I'll admit that World of Tanks isn't /jp/-related at all. But I find it hard to believe that it's pushing worthwhile threads off the board.

Um, can someone explain to me how the research system works? How do you unlock the next tank? I've researched up to the square above the Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf A on the Pzkfw II's tech screen, but it still tells me I need to research the tank to buy it. Do I need to clear out the Pzkfw II's tree entirely? Also, does researching one branch clear out the ones below it? I've found a bunch of modules for the Pzkfw II unlocked that I know I didn't research.

>>6517950
You have to research a tank to unlock it.
Some modules like the radio can be used on many tanks, that's why you can see it on multiple tank research tree.

>>6517950
Some modules are in the trees for multiple tanks. For instance: the 2cm Flak 38 L/112 is researchable for the PzII as well as the PzII Ausf. A (as well as a number of others). Researching it in any of those tanks researches it for all of them.

To research a tank you need to research the design in the previous tank. Here's the tree for the PzII, in it the design for the PzIII Ausf. A. Research that and it will be available in the store.

>>6518253
When I click on that tank in the research tree I just go to that tank's research tree. When I click on that tree's big tank portrait it sends me back to the main tree. How do I unlock it for purchase?

>>6518292
Oh, okay, thanks. I'm sure I clicked on that, but I'll try again.

I don't need to actually possess that tank in the tree in order to unlock the next one, do I?

>>6518293
Select the PzII
Click the Research button
If you have enough experience, click the PzII Ausf. A spot (If you don't have enough it just takes you to that tree).

>>6518314
Ah, experience. That's the quantity I'm short of. Thanks for your help.

Which is the best tier/tank to farm credits?

>>6518394
Tier 4-6, whatever type you're good with. I've raked in the cash so far with them, but I'm told ammo and repair costs start going up significantly in higher tiers, though I haven't gotten there myself yet.

>>6515618

Actually, I killed all the crew on a tank just today. What happened was it still counted as a kill and the tank registered as destroyed on the player list.

I don't know what the receiving side is like, though, probably just the normal dead view, just your tank isn't destroyed that time around.

>>6515681

Stab yourself with an epi pen. Works in the games!

Which is more important on a TD or an Art, damage or penetration?

>>6518482
Damage. Even non penetrating hits can destroy, say, the tracks, leaving the poor sod a sitting duck for somebody that can damage him.

>>6518369
>>6518364
Yeah, yeah, Mayhem. We all know how much rape your Jagdtiger can deliver at any given time. Don't keep on reminding us of how puny we are in comparison ;_;

Is getting around 3~5k gold per battle normal for the SU-5? Since people are getting these amazing 5 digit figures, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with my plinking.

>>6519452
Lots of things affect income. Scouting, Plinking, Getting hit and living, adding cap points, shooting enemies and removing cap points, Killing, and the list goes on. Basically, lots of these, arties don't usually do. However, as soon as you reach the levels of being able to kill larger enemies, the rewards become larger. It's a nasty grind, but it pays off.

old pic
also i like doing my custom colored camo and that cirno makes the wespe the strongest

godlike skill tier:
light tanks

respectable skill tier:
medium tanks

rape me I'm a faggot tier:
heavy tanks
artillery
tank destroyers

I can't believe people complain that the biggest spg only has 14 ammo. I consider it a good round if I manage to get 4 shots off in my t-34. half of the time I die without shooting at all. some of you are completely out of touch. "if you can't penetrate from the front get behind and shoot the back?" if you try that you'll get one shot off for 15% damage or less and then get destroyed in one hit when the other guy turns around.

>>6519532
Light tanks - Get them in days
Medium tanks - Get them in weeks
Heavy tanks - Get them in months
TD - Well you get them pretty fast.
SRPG - German ones are just PzIV play, and Russian ones are KV brick wall or SU-5 brick wall.

>>6518585
which file do i need to chance for making custom officiers?

>>6519543

Is that to go down the tree or something? You can get your first medium in a few hours and heavy in a day or so. Getting to the next one after that takes a bit, though.

>>6519532

Shit, if I had my way SPG's would be nerfed WAAAAY more then just smaller ammo capability.

>>6519518
Im so putting an ice camo layer over all my tank destroyers.

This game needs a goddamn urban map that is fully destructible, like the small towns in the sand map, only EVERYTHING is like that.

>>6519543
Heavies don't take that long to get. Two days ago I got my Tiger after roughly a week of messing around and getting random ass lights, TDs and SPGs, and today I will get my KT. The only tanks that seem relatively hard to get are the tier 10 ones, but nothing a soft wipe can't fix soon.

>>6519532

Sounds like you just need to stop being shitty at World of Tanks.

"get behind them" means you should be putting yourself in an advantageous position, using cover to keep your position concealed, and flanking your enemies. Simply driving right in front of them in an attempt to "get past them" and attack from behind is surefire suicide.

Anyways, what's that? I can't hear you over the sound of me killing King Tigers and Ferdis in my Tier V StuG III. Fuck, man, I'm not even that good at this game.

will a 75+% crew from a M37 be better than the stock 50% crew from the Priest running a Priest?

>>6520080
>>6520075
I presume you want me to change that? I've been meaning to go back and make textless versions of all my decals with text due to some tanks having only one part to texture which mirrors on the other side.

I'm looking for a good Heavy, TD, and SPG. Which is the best of each category in your opinion?

>>6520129
BEST SRPG - SU-51 or SU-14 one has mobility other has armor
BEST HEAVY - Depending on who you ask, but Tiger 1~2 or IS 1~3, I mean sure you could go for the Tier 9 and 10 ones but thats a serious grind. American heavies have SHITTONS of turret armor but paper thin hull armor. So they're pretty bad.

Germans have the best TDs. They fire faster and more accuratly then the russian counter parts and are less of a glass canon. Russian ones HIT HARD but are easy to kill.

We fight for Gallia!

>>6520204
Pretty close!

>>6520215
Yeah I need to color that barrel completely blue, and find that band around the base and make it red and gold. I dont think i've got the patience to completely match the markings though. Would be nice if my edited emblems would show up.

Every game I visit gives me 300+ ping.

Sucks to be living in the east.

Kinda sad I cant color the individual wheels, oh well.

I have the urge to make Lanseal tankmen now, but i'm already sleepy and its only 10:30am.

>>6520315

derp

So I dled World of Tanks today and started playing.... but somehow I am moving slower than everyone else, should I change the speed with r and f or let it stay at normal level? Because changing it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.

>>6520647

R and F are to make you slowly crawl forwards or backwards, should you ever need to, without using W or S.

W and S automatically make you go forwards or backwards at top speed.

Your tank is slow as balls because it's a noob tank full of noob crew. Level up the tank and the crew, and things will go WAY faster.

>>6520653
Thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong or if it was just the tank.

And thanks for explaining what R and F is used for.

>>6519953
>>6519959
>>6519967

Post the skin?

>>6520647
Generally your first and maybe second tank is going to be slow as hell. Only after you reach tier 3 light tanks and research their engines do you really get to zipping around..

The next round actually went better, I managed to kill someone.

In what kind of tank type should I tech with german tanks?

>>6520880
Whatever you want, really.

I'm getting SPG, Heavy, and TD in the German side because I really like having armor.

>>6520923
Ok thanks, and man my Leichttraktor is weak.... is there any point in upgrading it? Or for that matter any of the early models?

>>6521031
The first four tiers in the center are just plain painful for German tanks. Save up all the EXP you can and just go straight for the next tank ASAP.

Do take the time to research a decent radio or gun, preferably high penetration at least. New treads are always handy to have as well, though those dont transfer between tanks like most of the guns and radios do.

TD's have it better if you like playing as those. But yeah most people like to go US because they get medium tanks right at tier fucking 2 and heavy at 5. Too bad their armor is worse than my SPGs.

I'm going for German TDs. Should I just buy a Panzerjäger I to replace my frilly light tank or save up for something better?

>>6521055
Thanks for the tips, how are tier brackets determined in battles?

>>6521096
Fuck if I know, I get stuck in battles with the PzIII where i'm at the very bottom, and its full of Russian IS and other bullshit.. And then the next game i'm tromping around killing leichtraktors and MS-1's like Tenshi through a flower field.

I dont understand the matchmaking at all.

>>6521090
As soon as you get the opportunity to get out of the leichtraktor, DO IT. You could take that light tank route and go for the Hetzer, but starting out it'd be better to get a feel for how to play TDs, because they dont have a rotating turret.

Also dont charge at people, if they get to your side, you're fucked. God I hate when those fast little fuckers outrun my turret, even worse if I have to turn the whole damn tank.

>>6521213
Oh right, I was gonna post this image to go with that tenshi in a flower field comment.

This game knows to give you a shit team for you first match of the day. Even with the double exp, that's the lowest I've ever seen for a victory.

Will stuff get transferred for the f2p phase after the beta or do we start with nothing after beta?

>>6521332
There's a hard wipe before release because we've been getting 150 gold/day so if they didn't hard wipe there would be no use for buying gold as we'd have all the premium tanks already, possible perma premium if they only spent gold on month premium as it stacks, and a lot of other stuff.

>>6521274
Just a day or so ago I got 6 experience from a fight, with the daily experience boost.
I wept a single tear.

It took me 19 battles to have a good game in the SU-5, and that's only because it was both low-tier and a map I like.
Such an annoying piece of junk.
Also, playing a light tank in town environment makes the game drop to 4 fps... It's so damn frustrating, if I had money to buy a proper graphics card after the last one died my PC would be way more than enough to handle this properly.

>>6521385

What's bad about the SU-5? Even in the high tier games I can usually get a kill or two in my SU-26. Does it have a terrible gun or something?

>>6521415
SU-26>SU-5
The gun on SU-5 is just marginally better than on SU-26, has shit range, and has only 14 ammo. Of course, you can use the SU-26 gun on it, but you'll still get thrown in higher tier games(as in, I fought 9 tiers few times), and you don't get the fuckawesome rotating turret of SU-26.
SU-26 is great, I regularly get multiple kills with it, but SU-5 is shit.
And of course, but that's just me, my team is worse in the SU-5.

>>6521415
Also, my definition of a good game in an SPG means at least 4 kills and surviving, so it's not like I can't get any kills with it.
It's just not as good as I'd like.
(Also having bunch of games with fucktarded teams didn't help either)

Did some comparison with some of spare tracks and US heavy armor.

Fist off, areas on the tank with small bits of spare tracks actually have more armor. The tracks average around 20-40mm more protection then areas without them. I noticed it when I could only penetrate the side of a jtaiga when I hit the parts without tracks and began to compare what I found to other tanks with tracks on the sides.

Also, the US heavy tanks have glitched armor, roughly 20% thicker then what it says in the stats. Even worse, the spare tracks are 20% thicker as well.

You are looking at ~200mm thick frontal armor on the T29 where the tracks are.

Here is an artist rendition of my findings.

>>6521597
Boof!

I don't get what's so good about that double exp. So you saved yourself fighting an extra match, maybe two if you did really well. It still doesn't amount to much.

>maus is a rolling ammo/fuel/engine coffin

>IS-4 is all armor

oh wow tigers.

Do I have to recruit a new crew for every new vehicle or will the old ones adept after some time?

Call me when they add Leman Russ Tanks to the game.

>>6521829
I asked about this twice, apparently nobody knows, though.
All I can tell you is that after 29 battles in SU-5 my SU-26 crew shows no signs of adapting.

>>6521843

Or better, a modern warfare version of that game.

WWII is getting old.

>>6521813
ahaha

what a piece of junk.

>>6521845
>>6521829
Maybe nobody knows if they adapt, but I can confidently say you do not need to recruit new soldiers. You can retrain them, and they get a bonus based on what their percent for the old vehicle is. But don't try to drag crew across different types of vehicles.

>>6521845
over 300 battles in the sherman with my original T1 crew and nothing adapts

>>6521948
Have you tried, perhaps, retraining them?

Being killed with a direct hit from a Su-14 or S-51 (2000+ damage) will give you a different destroyed tank model.

Most of the time when a tank is destroyed, the model is charred, bent and the tracks are shredded.

If you are hit with one of these shells, your tank is OBLITERATED.

Like, in 4 pieces. My Kv-3's turret was on the ground laying against the tank and my engine was 4 feet behind it.

>>6522010
won't that drop them back down to 50?

>>6521789
>>6521792

but IS driver is forever alone ;_;

Maus driver has his waifu/radioman to keep him company in his deathtrap, at least.

>>6522023
I want a obliterated tank ;_;

Since I can't find any Hell camo pattern images, I made one myself. I think it is close to the original.

>>6522023
I had something similar. One of my tanks got blown a huge hole where there wasn't any. You could look (and shoot) through it.
Thing is, I don't remember which tank was I driving, nor what put the hole in it. But damn if it wasn't hilarious

>>6522066
It will drop them a few %s, but not back to 50.
Hopefully. If that fails, you can always retrain them to 75% 20,000 a piece.

I don't think this was ever put into production. The light green and gold are apparently to imitate the glitter of the gold and various gemstones that line the plaster and marble architecture of Heaven, but the human and daemonic troops occupying it still use Hell camo pattern uniforms and vehicles.

also, what was the port to the mumble server?

>>6522696
64738, I think.

>>6522875
nope.

People talking about changing crews between tanks: You NEED to retrain your crew if you move it, or you get a huge penalty that isn't at all worth it. They never "adapt" automatically.

Retraining for free: keep 80% of current skill for same vehicle type, 60% of skill for different type (totally pointless), to a minimum of 50%

Retraining for 20k each: keep 90% of current skill for same type, 80% for different type, to a minimum of 75%.

If the crew is going to drop to the minimum from this (just do the simple math before you do it) then it's pointless to retrain, just get a new crew unless you like their names or something.

>>6522930
>then it's pointless to retrain

Unless they have skills, in which case they keep them even if they retrain.

Oh there you are.

>>6523159
>>6523159

3 hour maintenance. No KV for me tonight.

>match against 7 TD, 5 arty, and the rest heavies.
>durp balance

Also whoever said russian TD don't have armor, fuck you. Say that when 76mm shells bounce off a SU152's GUN.

What a shit match to end the night on. Speaking of, the games been particularly bad the last day or so. Did they sneak in an update or something?

Polite sage for tl;dr bitching.

>>6523205
Balance is a bit off for sure. I've had a match where we were up against four King Tigers and our team only had one IS-3. Surprisingly, it ended in a draw.

>>6523202
Be prepared to suck and leech a lot more when you are in KV, until you get your 152... but hey, at least you'll start bouncing stuff.

>>6523077
Yeah, that's great and all, but it would never happen under normal circumstances (e.g. you aren't intentionally trying to drop them down to the minimum), so it's really a moot point.

Is there a listing maintenance schedules so I can adjust my schedule to fit WoT to it?... What about Sunday 12NN to 3:00PM (Taipei Time GMT +8)...? are there any scheduled maintenance during those time?

>>6522894
It is 64738, otherwise known as default porn.

Are you sure you have the address correct?

>>6523216
Im in a T-34 that gets one shotted by everything that shoots at me in the matches I am being placed in, my AP rounds bounce off of everything I shoot at, and my HE rounds do 0% damage when I shoot at anything other than their tracks.

I think the KV will be an upgrade for sure regardless.
Every battle I enter in the T-34 puts me up against things that are bigger than me. I usually only see 1-2 enemy vehicles that my AP rounds wont bounce off of, excluding SPGs.

Maintenance is done by the way.

>>6523237
Same time every day; 6AM GMT. Usually lasts thirty to sixty minutes.

>>6523247
You mean your T-28. T-34 is on another tree.

>>6523237

Maintenance seems to be pretty consistent every night at 10pm pacific. I don't know what that'd be for your side.

Also they apparently are planning something for tomorrow. I don't know how long.

So close to that brand spankin' new StuG III

>>6523247

The KV is a giant "Hey, shoot me." tank. Especially with that silly turret it starts with.

Also, since it's a heavy you're going to be put in with a lot bigger tanks.

>>6523290
The KV is fun when you get into low tier battles. You deflect 90% of the projectiles and you kill everything with 1 or 2 shots.

>>6523317

Since the latest patch I haven't seen that much anymore. Now it's you go all in against IS-4's or nothing.

>>6523290
With the 107mm you can actually penetrate up to IS-3's and King Tigers. You can also penetrate the Ausf B side armor and the IS-7 rear armor.

Considering it does about 50 more damage than my King Tiger's long 10,5 it is a force to be reckoned with if you are not targeted. As such it's great to be in defensive positions in a bush.

>>6523290
tier 5-6 heavies get to have lower tier matches more often than mediums do (although actually I haven't seen the low tier matches with KV-3 anymore, but the matching chart shows that they should still happen). And the KV is probably the best tier 5 in the game (not counting SPGs) in light of how matching goes right now, it can actually hurt high tier opponents frontally. (actually PzIV with the big turret and L/70 can too, but most of the others are fucked)

I said hello to the Jagdpanther and the Tiger :3

What's going on with the servers? I keep getting disconnected every second game, unable to reconnect for like 10 minutes.

Should I just keep my EXP to get to the KV-3/KV-1S or actually upgrade my KV so it won't feel like a grind? Also, KV-3 or KV-1S

>>6524102
Upgrade it. The stock gun isn't good except for the 1 in 6 matches where you're the only heavy. Once I got the upgrades I'm averaging 3 times the experience per match because I can actually hurt other tanks.

Am going german TD route, and I just got my Hetzer. What the fuck is the strategy on that thing? Do I just snipe and camp in base? Because it moves slower than a crippled turtle.

On the other hand, I'm having a lot of fun with the light PzKpWhatever tanks, running circles around everything.

>>6524123
After your engine and track upgrades you stop being such a slow motherfucker and it gets bearable

>>6524123
Hide in a bush and wait for people to spot, if you have a clear shot, take it. Basically just hide and snipe.

Furthermore: I have seen it being run on 1.8GHz, ~700MB (available) RAM, and a GeForce 6300, it runs but can't really be called playable (low fps, local lag on top of network lag, etc...)

as i has said earlier
here are some of my skins

Protip: I recommend the Small Repair Kit and the Small First Aid Kit, they can be real life savers. I also recommend the Manual Fire Extinguishers if you are often set on fire or the 100-octane Gasoline because a speed boost is always good.

I like the details.

one day i will have to get on ye mumble
