Yay, no fucking garage space for any French tank, even if I sell my tier 5 lights, I'll still need space for when I get something like arty or is7.

Well got myself 30 day premium. I like this game enough to invest a bit of money into it. It's actually the only game i'm playing atm until i get myself BF3

Can you guys make sure to post when they announce the new tanks going in or whatever? I havent been playing the game but still plan on hopefully grinding out whatever tank I need to get the free one(s).
Got myself T-46, SU-76. Marder II, and T2 light tank (latter two are both elite)War Man wrote:

T2 is for when I want to have a simple non arty game
Getting myself T-28 when I have enough credits, almost there.
Wanting to get myself a KV and Hetzer

I loved my t28 when I bought it, almost shed a tear when I had to sell it. May be a big fragile fucker but with that 85mm, man is that a fucking awesome tank, so many fond memories. Even killing a tiger tank by myself with no help, I was hiding behind a destroyed tank and kept moving away from him when he came close and eventually killed him. Was awesome.Phatmatt wrote:

Would of been nice if they actually mentioned that it was russian only..
That's the way all beta tests since World of Tanks release have been. Problem is, I wasn't sure if I could log in as easily as I can log in World of Tanks, apparently it is not as easy.Phatmatt wrote:

Trailer for 7.0
Horns are really gay... Hope they remove it before release..

They won't remove the horns, more like they release the patch, people complain of the horning, next patch they're removed.

7.0 is now live.
Played a couple of rounds and I'm not disappointed or too joyful about it, nothing bad about the patch.
Love the new firing and explosion effects, minimap is better now too I find, couple of other small neat things here and there.
Two new maps look good, I love swamp.
Horns are removed, thank god. Havent seen any camo or clan logo on tanks yet tho.
All in all, happy with 7.0
French tanks will be introduced in 7.1
I think it's in beta right now and should come out soon.

I'm not surprised the T34 heavy isn't a premium tank yet
Lol, devs have constantly said "This patch the t34 will get replaced by the m103, no this patch will get replaced by the t34" Same goes with the IS4 becoming tier 10. If they say this tank will come out, it comes out much later than said.firebolt5 wrote:

Started playing it again to try out 0.7.0 and I like it, the minimap and UI in general seem a lot more intuitive and the I like the subtle airhorn effect that plays when your base is being taken over, it's a nice way to keep you alert as to what's going on back there.
After getting sick of my Panzer IIIA and its rinky dink 50mm gun, I also gave artillery and then anti-tank guns a try for the first time. Artillery was fun at first but it progresses very slowly through the research and doesn't make much money either from my experience, I also hate being a sitting duck for as long as it takes to aim and/or reload, although it is still EXTREMELY satisfying when you hit someone in regular viewing range with your 150mm gun. I LOVE anti-tank guns now though, they have all the simplicity and effect I really wanted without the huge wait you get with artillery. Just cover your flank and fire your extremely powerful and punchy gun. I currently have a Marder II and I just got the 75mm gun which is AMAZING(still can't put a dent in a KV from the front but oh well).
I also finally got a regular Panzer III(my first Tier IV), but I can't figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do with it, I just got the 75mm gun for it too expecting it to be just as awesome as the Marder II one, but it sucks, the accuracy is awful and I can't seem penetrate anything I hit with it, even other Tier IV tanks. Am I just supposed to primarily use HE with this gun or something?

pack it with HE and flail around the flanks with it
Well, that didn't work so well so I switched back to armor piercing and and it turns out up close and personal this tank kicks ass against most other tanks and I can still take a shitload more damage than the IIIA, especially with the revised turret, while going just the tiniest bit slower, which is still fast as hell. I still cannot do a damn thing to any Tier V or above(the most popular Tier V I've seen by far) and that's holding me back quite a bit.
I think I'm about to buy a Hetzer right now so I can get better armor than what my Marder has, I hope I don't regret it though, I've heard the stock Hetzer is really really bad, but the only drawback I could really guess that it would have vs the Marder is that it starts out with a slower engine and probably can't go much faster than one, which wouldn't be absolutely terrible as long as it didn't get any slower, because that would pretty much be my breaking point on these Tank Destroyers

the hetzer is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
The FOV on the hetzer is horrible, I couldn't wait to get one and I regretted it. It's also real slow.
Went back to my MarderII with crew at 100% with two of the crew with camouflage and one repair. Also have the -25% detection camo on it. Usually get 4 kills at least with it.

I already usually get at least 2 on it and I don't have anything really special on it other than the engine, treads and radio maxed out which is kind of a given. In that case, is it worth it to upgrade to that 76mm gun or should I just stay with the 75mm? It feels like it's the same with load speed as it is with speed: I think if the 75 loaded any slower I might be displeased as I'm already barely able to pop off a 2nd shot before the arty starts coming down. I'm also still pretty happy with the 75 other than that it can't penetrate any Tier V and above tanks and sometimes has trouble penetrating Tier IVs from the front, will the 76 make a difference with that?

Nevermind, ended up buying the 76 and the Hetzer
The 76 I didn't really use enough, seems like it actually does the same or even a little bit less damage but is slightly more likely to penetrate
The Hetzer was of course awful when I first bought it, it was the slowest tank ever with a max speed of like 18 KM/h, I understand it was the 1940s but did somebody seriously put a 100HP engine in those things in real life? Now my engine and treads are maxed out and it's an average-speed but much more usable tank destroyer, it comes with the same 75mm gun as the Marder but I think it's definitely faster and better armored, just what I was looking for. The experience isn't coming in fast enough though for me to upgrade to the bigger/better guns.
Speaking of that, which gun should I get first for it?
