Ah yes, I was supposed to try out this game.

How many people are you planning your clan to have?

T1 with 37mm semi is monster at close range.
It rapes anything.

>>9520119
EU or US ?

>>9520167
I'm registering and it's asking me if I have an invite code (optional). Does anyone want to give me one? I take it inviters get perks from inviting people to play the game.

>>9520167
Just whoever wants to.

I'll write up a guide, the good thing about Tiers 1 and 2 is that there is low time and no money investment to get into it, but there's also room to expand skills and get some later upgrades. There should be less drama than mmo /jp/ guilds too since you don't have to talk as much, no loot, you don't have to play long term or anything, matches only take 15 minutes or less, and groups are limited to 2 or 3.

Any good ideas for names?

>>9520214
going up to tier 4-5 mite b cool; takes a day to reach anyway.

>>9520202
Hold on. Geforce has one if you have a geforce card. It is definitely worth it.

>>9520210
US for me at least

>>9520185
The Hispano is quicker to aim, can unload all the shells faster, and kill an MS-1 in one clip.

>>9520227
Oh my. I'm not comfortable providing personal information voluntarily. And it already forced me to instal java. Thanks anyway.

1) Go to http://www.geforce.com/landingpage/world-of-tanks
2) Register with your invite code.
3) When you start playing, always click pause before each mission. If you do the tutorial without doing so it will lock you out of the UI.
4) Select what nationality of tank you want, and start the mission. T1 and MS-1 are the best tier 1 tanks if you intend to play at tier 1.
5) When it is time to upgrade to tier 2, either upgrade to the tier 2 you want to play (PzII devastating machine gun, T18 one-shot howitzer with good armor or H35 which has good all around defenses). If you intend to play in tier 1, look at the "Tech Tree", and figure out which tier 3 is a "light tank" and go that route.
6) When you complete the tutorial, you will have a 100% Commander for your tier 3 tank. If you picked Russian you will also have a full light crew. You will want to move them and pay 20,000 credits each to convert them to the tank you will be using. Crew proficiency makes a big difference and having a 90% commander helps a lot.

I will be in channel /jp/ if anyone needs help or explanations on how to play.

You don't have to. It only gives you around $10 worth of stuff, but you don't need it. It just makes life easier. You can either put $10 into the game, or just work a little harder. Selling the M3 premium tank you get at the end of the tutorial will help, and that tank is horrible. You don't really need the other free promo tank, or the 500 gold either. Just more resources to you.

You can also scrounge around google for codes. They are one-time use, but I've found a total of 5 that I've used.

loltraktor best T1.

Basics of the game:

1) You can not strafe and shoot. The green circle represents your accuracy. You need to be sitting still for accuracy to increase to maximum. This isn't a FPS.

2) You need to see your opponents to shoot them. All tanks have camo, you can think of it as stealth, you won't be able to see them until they reach a certain range. Sometimes you can't see them and sometimes they can't see you.

3) Take cover when loading, hiding behind things means you can't be shot at.

4) Because of the camo system, hiding in bushes increases your camo value, but moving and firing decreases it. This is what makes binoculars and camo nets so valuable, you will be able to see them but they won't be able to see you.

FYI American crews come with black people.

Played back in the beta, left after "lol we're taking away all this shit you grinded." Have I missed much?

>>9520330
Yes.

Tier 10 guns except for Germany had 270mm pen. Mediums also have 270mm pen. And TDs have even more than 270mm pen. And a direct shot from new arty can one shot a tier 10. Thus tier 10 armor is worthless.

german T10 TD oneshoting russian T10 heavies

Tier 3, 4 and 5 also have some great and fun tanks.

The T82 has no armor, but is fast as hell and can one shot almost anything.

The T40 has a wide gun traverse and is an excellent sniper.

The M8A1 is fast and packs a punch.

The Chaffee is an amazing light tanks for end-game-ish play.

The Marder II has a ridiculously powerful gun for the tier

The Luchs is one of the most fun tanks to drive on two tracks

The PzIII is fast, with good armor and tosses around giant explosive shells

The PzIV is one of the best sniper tanks in the game

The B1 is a fun tank, maneuverable, good armor, and the worst gun in the game

The AMX40 is crap. It has good armor and a good gun but it moves like a slug and while it can dominate lesser tanks it is a punching bag for bigger tanks

Still playing on EU.

Got myself a Tiger recently. It's pretty neat actually.

>>9520429
You're one of the few person who aren't disapointed with the tiger.
You're going orgasm uncontrollably once you get to tigerII

>>9520468

It's all about knowing your enemy's shortcomings and how to profit from them with the Tiger.

>>9520489
Well, I'm not going to play it ever again, finished my grinding months ago, glad to be over with it.

They boosted it in the meantime, though.

>>9520119
Unfortunately, I didn't start playing WoT until after most of /jp/ stopped playing.

But yeah, I play it nearly every day. My favorite vehicles are US TDs, but I've also been having success with French TDs.

Lately I've been trying out the FT AC because I heard good things about it. But aside from that, I don't really play tier 2. My most played tiers are 3-6.

Made my account and am installing the game. It's currently at about 50%.

I do play World of Tanks myself, just don't expect me to be pro or anything.

I wish I had somebody to grind my tier 9 with.
Playing on EU.

>Thus tier 10 armor is worthless

You are so wrong mate, play the game instead of just looking on statistics. Arty one-shotting t10 heavy happens like once per 50 battles for that arty? And not for every top arty and not for every t10 heavy it is even possible.

>>9520578
He's almost as stupid as T10 heavy whining about T10 medium penetrating them.

>>9520578
Armor doesn't help a lot with the splash either when tracks don't have armor. And the HE rounds for arty usually have enough to penetrate top armor, and when top armor is penetrated by HE, that often results in ammo detonation.

Why aren't you a master class tier 1?

>>9520870
I've played for more than 14k battles and I am not sure that I detonated ammo even 5 times on arty. Probably not even once for tier 10.
But well, it is indeed funny how MTs10 have more penetration than German HTs10.

>>9521387
Because you don't score hits from the top that often. But the point is that it happens.

And how many games were arty games with a tier 8 arty?

Remember when Maus was better than IS-7?

>>9521448
>>9521448
You mean when tanks would run out of ammo before killing a Maus?
