Damn I love my Wespe. The match on Cliff starts with a couple heavies on both sides, a good mix of mediums and TDs and 4 SPGs on both sides. We're on the bottom. Both sides go for the middle route, heavy fighting in there. Eight minutes in, we've got a T-46, 3 SU-18s, and my Wespe left, they've got 2 T-57s, and SU-18, an SU-85B, and a Jagdpanzer left. I'm sitting at 3 kills.

Our T-46 moves up the middle with two of the SU-18s. The T-46 dies, but they take out the biggest threat: their SU-85B. Meanwhile the remaining SU-18 moves through the low area on the West with me pacing along behind him. We take out the Jagdpanzer. The SU-18 with me dies to one of their T-57s. I take him out a few seconds later. I'm at 5 kills, but have taken a lot of damage. The two SU-18s on our side in the middle find and take out their other T-57, I find their last SU-18. He fires, misses, and I get my sixth kill for the match.

This game has some awesome moments.

For some reason I just can't get over 3 kills, every time I hit 3 I either die, or I damage but not finish off everyone else.

I'm about halfway done grinding "past" the Hetzer, it actually might go much faster that way if you're willing to sacrifice the gold to convert to free exp. You won't have to research anything in Hetzer tree except Stug.

I give up on this game, or at least on playing anything higher than my Wespe and Marder, until they fix the bullshit matchmaking going on right now. My Pz3 and Pz3/4 get 19/20 battles against tier 8+, and usually there's no more than 1 arty per team. I'd have had more fun today smashing my head against the wall.

>>6450068
I was frustrated at first as well, using an un-upgraded Hetzer against those kinds of enemies. But you know what? I soon realized that every time there is a match with Tier 8 and 9 heavies, there are also a bunch of lower tier mediums, TDs, and artillery around. These are my targets. If I see heavies, I fall back. I never engage them headon, because I will lose. However, let your own heavies engage them headon, while you engage them from the side, and now suddenly you are able to do damage. Sure it'll take a bunch of hits, but that's not a problem if his attention is on another vehicle. Just keep shooting him in his thin rear or side armor.

If you are going to use the Hetzer, either of the gun upgrades is a good investment (probably after you upgrade the engine and the suspension to increase mobility and handling). If you get the 10.5cm gun, load it with HE shells, and hunt enemy scouts. You'll one shot a light tank, and two hits will kill any medium. If you see a damaged medium, make that your target. Heavies will not be immune to you either, and often you can do a little bit of damage to them with your HE rounds. Late in the match, if you are still alive, go into the enemy rear area and proceed to oneshot all of their artillery with your huge gun. If you go with the L48 gun, this is a better all around gun, and gives you the chance to penetrate enemy heavies side and rear armor with your AP shells, a faster reload time, and more ammunition available. This means that you can engage any target on the field including heavies and still do good damage - providing you engage them from the side or rear. However it's personal preference really.

I finally stopped using the sidegrade 10.5cm for the Hetzer by grinding the better 7.5cm, it's a lot more fun because it doesn't take years to reload.

Why can't we get this tank?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6450137
that doesn't work, usually the heavies on my team just kill the enemy mediums before I can do anything. And getting to the side of an IS-4 doesn't accomplish shit because he has a bunch of teammates around who just one-shot me instead. Plus so many maps are just heavies sniping across the entire map and I can't get anywhere close.

But anyway, that's not the issue, I had no problem scouting with my Pz3 against high tiers before the update (I actually preferred doing that over duking it out with tanks of my own tier), the problem is that tier 8+ battles are EVERY FUCKING TIME now instead of about 50% like before. And don't give me that "aren't enough low tier tanks" bullshit >>6450119 , it doesn't suddenly change overnight and since there's tons of people working on the American tank tree there should actually be MORE low tier tanks compared to right before the update.

They obviously fucked up the brackets because I go down just 1 tier to my Wespe and Marder and get tier 5 opponents max, frequently no higher than tier 4. Plus the low tier battles are usually packed with arty while the high tier battles I'm lucky if I have more than 1 enemy/friendly arty to target/scout for.

[Anonymous No.]

am I just unlucky getting put in matches where each side has 3+ artillery? I'm getting blown up the second I'm detected.

earlier today I has having a manly 1 on 1 fight with a t-28 where one more hit from either of us would kill the other. I managed to drive around his side faster than he could move his turret and was about to finish him off when I suddenly died.at first I couldn't understand how he could have killed me, but then I looked at the name on the screen and saw it was actually some jackass in a su-8. this kind of thing completely ruins the game for me.

I've realized that my M5 Stuart is probably a piece of shit compared to the leopard.

With a tank like that, you're supposed to camp at your base and help the arty out. Of course you're gonna get killed in the field if your movement is crap.

>>6450204
Yeah, it's a matter of how the matchmaking system is happy at the time. Just keep at it until you get a good match.


Also, according to BOOF, weren't they going to add said railway artillery pieces to the game? It'd be pretty awesome if they did, since they barely got used on the war.

Just imagine, a 32km map, 100 tanks to each side, and heavies defending each respective railway artillery piece. Meanwhile, said pieces RAIN DEATH with 2 meter shells on anything unlucky to be on their line of fire.

>>6450119
>You won't get faster to higher tiers without passing by the Hetzer.

Well my logic is this- the Hetz is supposedly ass without upgraded engine, suspension, and gun. Ignoring the radio, right there that's about 5000 exp worth of grindan to research.

So if instead I sacrifice the 480 gold to convert 12,000 exp on my other tanks into free exp, I have the Stug unlocked (but not paid for) having not had to grind and dump 5,000 some odd exp on the way to make the Hetzer battle ready.

Just my take on it.

Today I've met two extremely rude people with high-level tanks, one of them driving a Tiger 2 and the other one driving an IS

I was happily travelling along a road with my Hetzer and followed a platoon member when suddenly the IS shoots RIGHT in front of me

if I hadn't stopped by any chance he would've hit me in the ass, taking me out.

Obviously I asked him why he tried to kill me and he replies that he didn't and went on to insult me.

Suddenly his Tiger 2 friend jumps in and says that he's going to report me for TKing, lol what? I didn't shoot at any of our tanks and I'd never do intentionally. Then the IS forgets that he claimed not shooting at me and accidentally admits to trying to TK me so I call him a liar. The game ends and I just feel confused about these assholes trying to get my account suspended when I didn't do anything wrong in the first place, instead being insulted and called a TKer for not TKing.

I really wish I would've played more with BOOF outside of our loltraktor race.

Then again, that's what TDs are, mostly. But a traversing turret?
Why choosing a light tank when you can go with that?
High speed, stealthy (low visibility common to TDs) and if shit gets real you can also send a world of hurt back, even if they are behind you.

That turret must traverse very slowly.

Sturmtiger. About a dozen were built. The Germans basically packed these anti-submarine rocket mortars they had no use for into a heavily-armored SPG based on the Tiger chassis.

Had like 10 shots with it and was intended to flatten fortifications or take out infantry in urban settings. By collapsing the building they're in with a single shot.

Well, I was using a Hetzer armed with the L48 75mm gun just now. I critted an IS4 10 times shooting at it from 90 degrees to the side. Sure, I didn't kill it, and the heavy I was hiding behind delivered the death blow, but I felt good knowing that I had pinned him in place by killing his driver and constantly knocking out his tracks and stuff.

And then the round after that, I killed a King Tiger with the same Hetzer loadout, by shooting it in the side several times. The Hetzer is a great vehicle once you get used to it, and as long as you stay with your own heavies, and give them support, you'll survive too.

I have a fully upgraded Hetzer, and the thing is marvelous. It's 3 times faster now than it was when it was stock (a combination of a more skilled driver and a better engine/suspension) and once I get the periscope upgrade to increase view range when stationary, it will be downright deadly. Camouflage netting is also a must for any Tank Destroyer.

Some short explanations of the nations and types of tanks.

Russian tanks focus on mobility and damage, they are the close combat tanks mostly as they have great sloped armor to bounce shells.
German tanks focus on accuracy, penetration, and armor, they are great snipers and due to the high armor at long range you will be able to deflect some shells.
US tanks are...I don't know, I hear they have shit guns and armor, but are fast have very cheap repairs and have massive armor on their turrets.

Now for tanks.
Light tanks are scouts, they are fast and scout enemy tanks and artillery, they die in one to two hits usually.

Medium tanks I'm not exactly sure, but from what I can tell they are fast and can circle heavy tanks easily avoiding being hit due to slow turret turn from heavies.

Heavy tanks are the front line, they are slow and usually slow reload, but they have a ton of health and armor as well as huge damage usually. They are the ones that rule the battlefield but their shells and repairs cost a fortune, so the dominance comes at a price.

Tank Destroyers are the back line and protector of artillery, they have huge sloped frontal armor and high damage guns. They have no turret so if they get in a close range battle they are as good as dead if the enemy destroys your tracks. They have a natural bonus to being harder to detect so they are the perfect ambushers.

Artillery are the gods hands, they have massive damage and can do big damage to high tier heavies and one shot many mediums, however they are slow and reload insanely slow, making them very open for light tanks to spot for other artillery to kill the artillery. They have to carefully plan their shots because of their long reload and how long it takes to gain full accuracy, a miss from a higher tier artillery is often 1k-3k credits gone.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6451752
Naturally, the nationality of the tank changes the role of the tank. Example is a Tiger heavy tank is not seen on the front lines often, it is often defending a choke point or a strategic area. While the Russian IS heavy tank of the same tier you will see often in leading the attack.

Take note that my explanation will never be 100% accurate, it's the general guideline. The Russian KV is a notable exception to the heavy tank explanation. The repairs are cheap, the shells are cheap, they get put in the lower tier battles often, and the two higher tiered guns they have allows them a place in higher tier matches.

does anyone dislike how low tier = light tanks = 1939 crap while high tier = heavy tanks = 1945+ super machines?

I wish they would rework the matchmaking to use time periods instead of vague tiers

If you want to dish out maximum rape with a tank destroyer, then go with the M18 Hellcat when the game goes open.

Not so, my low tier Marder regularly ruins shit in matches- I got Tank Destroyer tree after a few loltraktor matches, and then playing in the tier II TD (8 matches can hardly be considered serious grinding) got me the Marder.

Hide in a bush, wait for targets. If a light tank spots you and there is artillery, kill the light tank and move to another bush. The end.

I actually had a dream about World of Tanks last night- that I was sitting there grindan and then loli Nanoha broke down my door and was like "this is stupid, let's go flying!" and then, we flew around...

Protip: Get a tier 2 American SPG, max it out (it's easy to max out), and get free experience to transfer to your other tanks. It gives me 800-1000 exp on average as oppose to me playing my T-28 (tier 4 medium) or KV (tier 5 heavy) where I get like 100 in a bad game, 500 in a good game.

Exactly the way it's meant to be.

Instead there are all these games where you can go to any crossroads and won't get Corp Por'd unless you consciously decide you want to be. What kind of living world is that? It's like every MMO since Trammel is in Trammel.

And it's not just about the PvP, but how the whole game revolved around the players, whereas other games just revolve around NPCs.

There's nothing good about griefing just to grief. What's lame are things like not being able to hit people's monsters, not being able to lead tons of monsters to someone else, or not having everything on a monster fall to the ground to be picked up by whoever. The ability to go from point A to point B without being killed repeatedly is something MMOs need.

If you want to PvP then go have a PvP match. You can still rape people that way, unless your only skill was in surprise attacking.

Though open PvP with EvE system is fine. You fuck around and grief and you lose the ability to hang out in the newbie places with open PvP areas if you want to enter them.

Well, at least its cool to know that you can skip a tier if you really hate some tank. All you need is extra gold and patience. I'm probably going to end up in a Hetzer anyways, though. It is quite a moe little tank destroyer.

10. The total tier number of tanks in one team shall not exceed 90 points.

This is the beta. From what I understand, the final version is intended to have a "living" world that you fight over. Apparantly, territories will be Clan based, and they will fight for their own territory vs others. Unaffiliated players, who don't belong to a clan, will be able to be hired by Clans as mercenaries to fight for them.

inb4 we have a /jp/ kingdom in our virtual Europe and we fight for our waifus back home.

So yes, it is going to be massively multiplayer. Already, even in the closed beta, there are tens of thousands of people on at any give time, so many that when you click play, it jumps into a match INSTANTLY without having to wait for it to find players.
