World of Tanks is a Tank MMO in Closed Beta, Battles are 15 vs 15.

The /jp/ channel is called "/jp/ Mew"

PanzerMoe is all about tanking it easy, enjoying your tanks and having fun with other /jp/ers.

If you're impatient about Beta codes, check with Mmohut or ShatteredCrystal for keys, they give them out.

"They seem to be very selective with their historical accuracy indeed, it only counts when it benefits the russian vehicles. Not when it benefits any other nation or would be a nerf to the russian tanks. It's odd but they are indeed biased, strange that they would act like this. They don't give other nations the guns they really used or the engines they really had supposedly the VK tier 9 would have had well over 1000hp and the sherman was equipped with better guns. Yet they give russian vehicles guns they could never equip."

Fucking this. Though I'm surprised anyone else is surprised since the game is made by Russians, so them saying their shit is best isn't anything shocking.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6498385
Really? 'cause I'm still seeing mailto:sage when I mouseover the name. On the other hand, if this is your poorly disguised derailing attempt, I applaud you and gratefully bite.
I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan (derp) because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

It's easy to argue that stuff that looks like this is related to /jp/. A tank simulator MMO with no /jp/ish properties, not so much.

>that you feel obliged to ignore in favor of being a moron here, like kuroko spam and the occasional crossboard raids
Obviously that is shit. But those threads 404.

How many Otaku haven't watched anime? Does that mean that it's fair game here?

I don't actually mind that much, I'm just wondering why Ar Tonelico threads 404 when much less related-looking stuff doesn't.

Now, now, let's not get sidetracked here, Mr. Bullshitter.

There were four "reasons" given by the earlier Anonymous "arguing" that this thread is /jp/ related. I argued back, claiming that his reasons are not relevant to the point in question.

So what the hell are YOU arguing about, with your rant of "hurrr we'll have nothing left"? Did you just think it'd be a humongous joke to hop right in and start spouting nonsense?

[Saegrimr !SHIELDM.mE No.]

>>6498445
>A tank simulator MMO with no /jp/ish properties, not so much.
Well apart from plastering our tanks with touhous and taking it easy, you've got me there.
But really MMOs in general are an otaku staple, more so the moe cutesy fantasy ones with mushrooms and bunny rabbits, but a different flavor never hurts.

Hell, you should have seen the shitstorm in /tg/ when we have Touhou tabletop threads discussing how to improve Yuugi Flowers or just outright make a new system [Which by the way, there are three systems currently in works. One is more a card-game style and is mostly complete.]

Also maybe someone just REALLY hates Ar Tonelico and is reporting the fuck out of it?

Please. Do we have to take another look?

Let's dissect your post and summarize it.
>Really? So all the visual novels and other MMOs aren't /jp/ because they technically fall under the category of video games? How about all the figurines and doll threads get deleted and sent to /toy/? Hey lets send the doujin music threads to /mu/ and the doujin manga to /h/ and /a/. Kigu threads to /cgl/, idol threads to /s/.
Declaring the World of Tanks thread as unrelated to /jp/ would lead to declaring almost every thread as unrelated. (An obvious slippery slope fallacy, but that's not the issue right now.)

>What do we have left?
>Ronery threads and touhou, oh and the massive piles of obviously shit threads that you feel obliged to ignore in favor of being a moron here, like kuroko spam and the occasional crossboard raids.
The only threads left will be crap no one wants to read.

>To quote the mod on /tg/
>>REPORTS ARE FOR RULES VIOLATIONS. Your pet peeves don't violate the rules.
>
>Tell me how many "Otaku" haven't been sucked into an MMO. Aside from you, clearly.
MMOs are Otaku related, and you don't want them to be because they're your pet peeve.

By all means, if you see a flaw in my summaries, feel free to rectify them.

These were Anonymous's three reasons:
>1_ We already have a /jp/ group of this
>2_ /v/ doesn't talk about video games
>3_ At least it isn't another spam thread
NOWHERE in your post do you mention anything about groups, how other boards don't talk about the shit they're supposed to, or spam.

Go take reading comprehension again. I was clearly under the impression that you were attempting to support him, except your supports had nothing to do with what he said, as I have proved.

>I believe the original question was.

So guys?... How long till this beta last... I usually can't play more than 30 minutes during weekdays due to busy schedule but I cleared out whole Saturday from wakeup till Sunday next morning... after being laughed by a MAUS... I'm gonna marathon this game and get me my own MAUS... oh and will they retain the progress or just do a wipeout... I really wanted to keep playing this game even if I have to pay a premium...

[Anonymous No.]

[Adolf Hitler loves !76F872kr4M No.]

>>6498696
1st:

This games beta is expected to last for quite a while longer. in excess of three months.

2nd:

Getting a Maus: In total, counting the games before the first soft wipe, I have played in excess of 1100 games. It takes determination to get a Maus. I know because I have one. I've played for around three months now. You don't necessarily have to grind everyday all day, but you do have to put a considerable amount of time into playing.

4th:

It will be a soft wipe. A soft wipe just deletes your tank and your crewman. You get all your xp back as free xp, and you get credits equal in value to the tanks you own.

5th:

You don't pay for gold or premium.

Everyday, you receive 150 gold to your account. You then use this gold to get credits, convert to experience or buy premium.

6th: Join us on our Mumble server. Go to the /jp/ channel in World of Tanks to get the info.

It measures at the center point. If your reticle is on the tracks, but half your potential target area is over their side armor, if the shot hits the tougher side armor you may still end up doing no damage. Keep in mind your shots don't always fly straight.

It happened to me with all four tanks I've bought recently. I know the feel.

You get xp by detecting, damaging and destroying enemies, and I think you get it by capping too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6499576
I heard that you get more exp for kill all than for capping, is that true?

[KommanderNitori No.]

Just thought I'd share some interesting numbers I found when I was sifting through my statistics.

Right now, my Marder and my StuG III have about the same number of kills, and a comparable damage ratio.

Marder = 83 Kills, 54% damage ratio
StuG III = 86 Kills, 59% damage ratio

So, since those numbers are so close, let's compare the amount of damage they have dealt to other tanks.

The Marder has dealt 28,051 damage
The StuG III has dealt 45,703 damage

That jump from tier III to V makes a huge difference in the HP of enemies you'll be facing, and total damage you have to do to get a similar number of kills.

Some might argue that this is proof the balancing system is busted, but I don't think so- it seems to me like the people who complain about it are far more likely to be the ones throwing their Tier 4-5 medium at a Tier 8 Heavy, getting one-shotted, and then throwing their hands up in the air and saying "stupid balancing."

The other day, I was on a team that was up against a Maus- with no really comparable heavy on our side. People bitched, but guess how many tanks we lost to that Maus? Zero. We killed him without him getting off a single kill, because of this funny little thing called teamwork. We had a competent medium player who got out there, spotted him, pinged the map for his location, and then moved on to assess/engage other threats, not Kamikaze bum rush the Maus. Our TD's moved in, and again, played their part while avoiding exposure. We de-tracked the Maus, and as soon as that track came off our Arty rained down hell upon him. Then, for the final part, we had 2 heavies move in, flank him, and finish him off. Sure, he damaged those heavies pretty badly, but to have 0 losses against a Maus pretty much conclusively says to me there is no "balancing" based situation that can't be overcome with competent playing and teamwork.

There is no question at all in my mind that being a Hetzer against T8 units can make you absolutely useless. They have a wider view range, faster vehicles, bigger guns, there's almost nothing you can do besides ride the wave and put extra weight on the capture point. This game is very strategy dependent but, the enemy team would have to be completely clueless to allow a team 4 tiers below to win. Bigger tanks will win significantly more. I do think the T4 grind teaches you how to keep your head down and stay alive, though. That said, it doesn't bother me much. I've moved up to a StuG and don't feel nearly as helpless. I still can't compete with firepower but I at least have tactical options since I can move around now.

Leave the enemy KVs to yours, then!
You fight the tanks in your tier or the ones immediately up.
If only heavies and other tanks you can't hit remain, ignore them and cap the point. Spot them for your artillery from a hidden place if they are standing to close to the point for you to cap.

Also, go for weak spots enemy tanks! Generally speaking, side or rear is better, but if you find yourself facing an American heavy, GO FOR THE HULL. The hulls of American heavies are their glass jaw- the turret has armor so thick you will bounce shots all the time unless you're packing something seriously wicked- hit the hull, though, and you'll poke right through with even weak guns.

I mean heck, I'm getting overpenetration on T29's now if I shoot their hull from the side. This is with the German L/70 with AP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6500063
I think you are under the misunderstanding that your Panzer III is supposed to be doing the killing in such a match. You are a scout. You hide in bushes. You use whatever cover you can find to move forward. You wait for the enemy to come into view. You spot them. If you have a good radio, your team spots them. Your team's TDs and Arty proceed to snipe and rape them from outside their visual range without them seeing anything. The only time you can risk engaging and trying to kill somebody is if you ran into that A-20 or a Lee or something.

Essentially, you stay somewhat near your friendlies, always within eyesight of them so that they can shoot the enemies when you spot them. You try your best to stay alive, or to stay hidden in your bushes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6500296
You can also try to snipe the enemy arty and TDs.

This. I can pick off Tiger II's with my StuG. Someone else spots them, I cripple the tracks, then wail on them until they die. Usually they never even see me.

BUT, if there was no one to spot for me? I'd be screwed over- they'd find me hiding in my bush and rape me to next Wednesday.

It was the variant of the Sherman that mounted a more powerful anti tank gun that was actually decent, unlike the shitty one the original carried, which couldn't penetrate the front armor of any German vehicle, even the Stug and Pz IV that made up the bulk of the German forces in Normandy.

This new variant of the Sherman could penetrate their armor from a good distance, and allowed the Sherman to approach parity with the Pz IV, and was nicknamed the "Easy Eight." The main disadvantage to it in real life was that it was a Sherman, and had paper thin armor than all of the German anti tank guns could penetrate from any angle, on the first hit, from ranges approaching 1,500 meters. In game, however, it is actually quite a good medium tank.

1. Find your tank in

2. MAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR TANK (Copy them to a new file), you are editing Tankname.dds and tankname_sm.dds

3. Make all the edits you want, merge the edits to one layer, resize the image to half.

4. Copy the edits to tankname_sm.dds and color them black, which will prevent them from being extremely shiny in game. Save as .dds

5. Go back to tankname.dds and revert to it's original size while keeping the edit. Save as .dds.

6. Restart WoT to take effect.

So let me get this straight.

Russian tanks are the fastest.
Russian tanks have the best guns with more damage and penetration.
Russian tanks have best armor due to deflection armor.

People only play German because they're Germanophiles, though their tanks are still bearable to play.

And God only knows why anyone plays anything in the US line even though the general consensus is that US has worst tank in every category including worst SPGs even though artillery is supposed to be America's strong point.

Did I get this right?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6503229

Germany has better TDs and I read that German weapons have better penetration. Other than that, Russia seems to have better stuff than everyone else. It's a Russian game. Would you expect anything else?

>>6503229
>Russian tanks are the fastest.
Yes
>Russian tanks have the best guns with more damage and penetration.
German tanks have more penetration, accuracy, reload, and better aim time but Russian tanks have better damage.
>Russian tanks have best armor due to deflection armor.
Mostly, however the Tank Destroyer line German tanks are far better and the Maus's armor is second to none. It can bounce tier 8 shells off its side armor.

And US tanks have insane turret armor and high damage guns, if you can get into a position where they can't shoot your hull you are good to go.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6503252
>>6503254
No no no.

Russian TDs are the best TDs.

Russian TDs have superior guns. Germans TDs have superior armor.

However, armor doesn't mean shit because you should be hiding in the first place. For TDs, the gun is the most important.

Russian TD guns have better damage and penetration

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6503265
I've seen Mayhem in his JagdTiger, and I've faced Ferdi's/JagdTigers and I must say from a King Tiger(Tier 8) perspective.. the Russian Tank Destroyers are completely useless.

They have paper armor and I haven't once not penetrated an ISU-152's frontal armor when I have zero chance of penetrating a JagdTiger's frontal armor and it is very hard to penetrate the Ferdi's. All they have going for them is their damage and once they are spotted they will die easier than a Hummel, you might as well just be in an SU-14 because at least then you can shoot the entire map.

How good is the American M36 tank destroyer? It's basically a Sherman with a 90mm high velocity gun. Like most American TDs the gun is in a turret so I figure it could be a bit more flexible than the German TDs.

Except, y'know, you don't take 20 minutes to reload in the ISU-152.

You guys are forgetting about view range. If I remember correctly Germans heavys have like 430-460 at tier 8, while the Russians are stuck with 400 at tier 8, and 380 or something until tier 8. In the other words, they're blind shooting sitting ducks if they got no one to scout for them and you don't get close.

[Nanaya !yrBrqfF1Ew No.]

>>6503522
Commander gives a % bonus for every 10% he is at, if he is at 100% he gives 10% to every crew member.
Gunner decreases aim time, increases accuracy and turret rotation
Driver increases your turn speed and acceleration
Radio operator does his stuff with the radio, I'm not sure what he does
Loader.. well, increases how fast you load.

The thing that you are thinking of is the skills such as camo, repair, and firefighting. They become available to any crewmember who reaches 100%

The M18 Hellcat would like to have a word with you.

From Wiki:

"The 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage (GMC) M18 was an American tank destroyer of World War II. The manufacturer, Buick, gave it the nickname "Hellcat" and it was the fastest tracked armored fighting vehicle during the war with a top speed up to 60 mph."

To make matters worse, this TD has a goddamn rotating turret. This thing is going to be a nightmare to deal with once it hits the field.

The idea behind the hellcat was to circle around a tank and blow it's ass out in one shot before its turret could swing around and then take off before anyone could shoot back.

Game wise, you're going to have a low tier TD that can out move anything else in the field with a tier 4-5 gun. And that 76mm is plenty effective.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6503608

Then again, it's no secret the devs like to play fast and lose with historical accuracy when it's not something that benefits the Russian tech tree. (regardless of how sketchy their proof be.) So I'm sure they'll find a way to fuck it up.

Still, the idea of scouts being replaced by something that can one shot lower tanks and SPGs is pretty lol.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6503608
76mm guns do like 120 damage max. that's not even enough to kill a sherman in one hit. the hp system is really stupid. even if you outmaneuver a high tier tank and penetrate him in the back it doesn't matter because he can just turn around and one shot you while only losing like 10% himself.

[Anonymous No.]

Artyfag in training here. How big is the difference when you compare a newfag crew with a experienced one (especially in terms of speed and locking on a target)? I´m rather good at sniping tanks, but it´s always a pain in the ass when you have to wait like 4-5 secs until the oval is small enough..

[Anonymous No.]

I agree, but I also think all HP systems are stupid.

It should use the Men of War system where even if you don't penetrate, enough hits to the same general area will crush the hull from the sheer force alone.

The 76mm is a high-velocity. It's the same gun you can get on the upgrade path of the Sherman. That's the stock gun for the Hellcat. God knows what they're going to bring for upgrades.

Most likely that won't be the stock gun. Just like the stock gun on the Hetzer and Jagdpanther are all downgraded from their real life "stock" versions. The Hetzer never mounted the weaker L43 gun, it always had the L48 from day one of production. The Jagdpanther never mounted the Panther's stock 75mm, nor the Tiger's stock 88mm, the first two guns you get to use on it in the game. Stock, the real Jagdpanther mounted the King Tiger's long 88mm gun - the second to last upgrade available in the game, and also one of the best guns available for it.

They'll downgrade the Hellcat's gun too, if they include it. If they gave you good guns to start with you wouldn't have to grind.

Why the hell is my 3rd tier SPG thrown into battles where 90% vehicles are at least tier 6+?
All.
The.
Time.
I mean, fuck, I was shooting this dude in one of the russkie heavies, hit him like 7-8 times, and only one time it did actual damage? 3% at that.
It's just such a goddamn change from tier 2 to 3 it's stupid.
Second, how do critical shots work? I've had numerous times where I got told I critted and I still didn't do shit.

Crits are things like dead/injured crew or damaged parts for the other tank.

Can someone tell me a strategy for M3 Lee? It's a piece of shit, light tanks ram me, take out my tracks and then run circles around me and I can't do shit about it. I'm stuck with it for a long time because the fucking amount of experience points needed to research the three tanks it splits off into.

>>6506912
The Tier 3 SPGs can both damage Tier 5 tanks handily, you should generally have at least 5 targets in any match that you can damage, even if it means you can't hurt their heavies. Remember, Rambo: you're part of a team.

Where does the RAMII go on the tech tree? I can't find it. Is it any good? What tanks can be researched from it?

[Crix !!nLvSV/0cRma No.]

it's a premium tank, so nothing can be researched from it

It's a t5 medium us

It's armed similarly>>6506988
to the m7 but has much more armor

>Can someone tell me a strategy for M3 Lee? It's a piece of shit, light tanks ram me, take out my tracks and then run circles around me and I can't do shit about it

stop being complete shit and going off by yourself, it has pretty much one of the best t4 guns, more armor than the 5-28 and better side armor than the panzer III which is undergunned

[Anonymous No.]

>>6507113
Yeah except You sit in the back with the SPGs and you get one shot by enemy SPGs and if you move up with the heavys you can't turn fast enough when the enemy team decides to rush and ram.

I think the M2 Light tank is a Gold only tank too and it's in the tech tree and can research two others.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6507085
I'm a goddamn SPG, it doesn't get much less rambo than that.
The things I can damage are usually their SPGs or their scouts, I rarely am fast enough to kill the scout before my team does(if I'm in one of the silly high tier games, that is), and my range is too small to get their SPGs when the initial scouts get to them before I'm in position.
But all that talk is moot now, as I bought the last upgrade, and by now have a gun that actually can hurt things, so it should be fine.

don't complain about arty being put in higher tier battles; aside from the fact that arty tiers don't go as high and thus they have to be placed higher than other types, arty can actually do something in those battles without getting instantly one-shotted. And those heavies are easy to hit over and over, unlike low tier battles where swarms of hard-to-hit lights rush into your base and rape you.

I wish my Wespe would get damn tier 8 battles again like it did before last update, I get nothing but tier 5 max ever since, even though I see bisons and stpz2 occasionally in high tier matches on my other tanks. Low tier battles are so hit-or-miss, sometimes I one-shot a bunch of lights, other times I can't hit anything and die without accomplishing anything. And the lower the tier the lower the reward.

Also, don't complain about getting high tier battles in an SPG until you've played a Hetzer or Lee (or other tier 4-6 tanks/TDs, those two are just the worst)

[Anonymous No.]

tell me about it, I've not killed anything in a Lee yet, Going up against heavys and SPGs everywhere.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6507253
>don't complain
But I will. And you can't stop me, no matter how mad you get.
I don't give a shit about rewards, I care about having fun, and scratching the paint off high tiers' armor isn't exactly my idea of fun.
Plus, I played Wespe before switching to the russkies, with its range it's a completely different type of SPG.
Still, it seems I had some bad luck with those 5 or so games in a row full of 8 tier tanks, now it's a bit more varied - not to mention with my shiny new penis enhancement device, uh I mean, gun, I would actually kill that IS-3 I couldn't damage before, if I landed that many shots.

Don't use the big gun on the SU-5, use the second biggest. The extra ammo more than makes up for the difference (unless you enjoy playing scout arty after the 5 minute mark).

[Anonymous No.]

If I blow some gold getting the commander and gunner of my SU-5, what skills should I go for? Camo seems useless since I'm usually behind lines, and repair and firefighting because I get boned in one hit...

Camo. The harder it is to spot you the longer you will live.

[Anomynous No.]

>>6507504
Camo and/or repair. Camo helps prevent being scouted and shot up, repair helps you quickly recover from near-misses from counter-arty (which are usually survivable, unless you get tracked and take more rounds)

I sure love when 3 heavy tanks on my team just camp our base, wait for the entirety of our team to get wiped, and then get picked up up by arty once they get spotted.
If you're going to give up the goddamn game at least go rush and scout me some targets, faggots.

Actually, the full American tank tree line is kind of confusing in this respect.
Their Tier 8 TD is the 'T28', and their Tier 9 TD is the 'T95', but those two are actually the same vehicle with the names it was given in 1945 (T28) and 1946 (T95). Nothing in the T95 is different from the T28.

So in two tiers, you get one vehicle.

>>6507754
Snipe the enemy arty, TDs and tanks in your tier (Pz III Ausf A, BT-2, other M3 Stuarts) if you don't want to spend gold loading APCR to do something to tanks a couple tiers higher.
Also, if you think you have it hard in the M3, just wait until you get to the M5. You'll be crying tears of blood until you get the suspension, turret and M2 howitzer. Things will get less hard (but not exactly easy) once you do

But seriously, just scout, and for the love of god don't stop moving. If you're still slow as all fuck, just move from bush to bush and try to act as a look out, instead of a scout. You'll be credit to the team, and you'll get exp for discovering enemies.
In low tier games, sometimes even sitting halfway between your arty and your scouts is useful - short radio range and all.

Char 2C bis. It's an experimental variant of the Char 2C heavy tank armed with a 155mm howitzer.

Also, shit armor, XBOX-huge profile and the entire thing weighs more than 70 tons due to being an pre-war heavy tank.

The german heavy premium tank right now with an artillery piece as the main gun, basically.
