World of Tanks

I did like this game during the beta but now that you have to pay just to play with friends is annoying

You can do 2 man platoons...

French tanks have been released and they are pants upto tier 4 (as far as I've got). Feel like gouging my eyeballs out with a spoon will waiting for the AMX 40 to get anywhere.

Actually at tier 2 the french tanks are good and tier 3 are ok as long as you're only up against tier 1-3, tier4 is being a right pain though and tier5 looks like it'll be as bad.
Funny that the tier 4 & 5 actually have worse armour than the tier 2 and 3.

while over in tier6 where a load of my tanks are I've got off withe the chinese Type 59, what's seriously wrong with it is that it's just a russian t54, so has the same stats but for some reason they've made it a tier lower (8 instead of 9 like the t54)
That and there's so many of them, I've yet to be in a battle in any of my tier6 tanks that didn't have at least two type 59's in it, they can make mincemeat of a tier6, what's worse I've met them in my tier5's too, when I cannot even penetrate their armour.

Tier 5 is not much better.

12t may look fun but with no gun depression and horrible dispersion on the move make it unviable. 420 view range is pretty good though. 13 75 has better gun depression, 0.31 acc on the top gun and should, but I've only played on game in it.

GDR is not great but I suppose it could be worse, 370m view range is horrible and it loves to attract fire which it can't bouce. max speed 29 km/h.

Types are pretty horrible but mainly if they manage to isolate you. If you fancy a game sometime pob give me a shout. I've got a few tier 6s to grind.

I've just signed up as ERU69er

Got a Tier III tank and stand no chance against Tier V atm. I can see this being a grind to start ... cannot even penetrate their armour and 5-10 hits is a familiar stat to view after I get one-shoted!

Anyone still playing this? I picked it up a couple of months ago been at it on and off. Quite enjoying it. Got my Tiger II now. Finally feel useful in the high tier matches. Now just the 70k xp grind to get the gun I want. I'm billy no mates ingame atm so if anyone fancies a platoon or something add me: Dunno1.

[Domestic_Ginger]

I'm a rabid fanatic.

Same username as on here; if you see me I'm up for a few games if nothing is going on. Grinding t9's though but need cash too so will happily play my POS T34; if the MM is not playing game I'll go back to t9.

Can use TS too and we should be able to find a third.

[chuckskull]

I should be on this evening will add you then. Happy to platoon up with you in a T9. Always fighting them and T10's in my KT anyway. Got a PzIV and Churchill for the T5 money making.

Would love to give clan wars a go but the consensus seems to be Tier 10 or gtfo noob.

I picked it up again around xmass, but not since then.

[Fortune117]

I have a special code somewhere from Eurogamer, not sure if its still valid but I guess I can always give the game a go!

[TeePee]

I just started playing.. It seems like fun but I get 2-6fps so I was about to give up. Then I found the SPG, and with 12fps in the top down mode it's playable..

Victory!

Not a bad start to the evening.

Yeah Teepee it's not very well optimised, you need quite a lot of GPU power to play even at lower settings. Even my 470 struggles sometimes.

[Domestic_Ginger]

Its usually CPU limited; there are texture mods to get it running on a laptop etc.

[chuckskull]

Didn't realise it was CPU just assumed it would be GPU explains a bit though as my CPU is rather outdated compared to my graphics.

Well I cant even get logged into the bloody thing! Just keeps me hanging at 'connecting' Ive got a day of premium too! haha
