Well lets see, if its worth playing world of warcraft it is worth the premium of world of tanks.

You dont have to pay $10 a month forever, just for a month or two to make the initial grind up the trees easier. You also dont have to pay for the game initially, unlike WoW. Not really comparable.

But yeh whatever obviously it is only worth it if you enjoy the game. How much it costs and comparing it to other games isnt relevant.

New update. Hehehe, Jumbo Sherman will be fun. Chaffee too will be nice.

Apparently the Chaffee is really good, at least for its "kill arty and then die" role.

vk2801 can have a 105mm howitzer, that sounds like a shit ton of fun to me. It kills arty with 1 shot too, not to mention.

I'm about to try it, about meaning in two hours to download the full game at version 0.6.7, I assume the download server is just busy as shit because it just got released today, I was initially downloading at almost 3MB per second but then it dropped to going anywhere between 150KB and 300KB

Fine for me, didn't have any trouble.

Edit: Oh, and I hate the panzer II as it has shit gun options.

Mine downloaded at a decent speed for once. Normally it takes forever.

Finally finished about 20 minutes ago, time to install

Thinking about turning it into a torrent on Demonoid like I did with 2142 Patch 1.51 so it actually takes less time once more people have downloaded it

Panzer 2 is an awesome tank, you just gotta use it right i.e. support/sniper tank.

Just got the T34, such a crappy tank with the 105mm, the 122mm is 80K experience away though....

Just gonna keep it until they make it premium, when it happens I should get 3 new tanks (KV w/ second turret, and KV3 too)

Turret side is prolly your best bet, but obviously front on your looking at the view ports if you close enough to pick em out, or like on a lot of the german tanks the lower front glacis is the weaker area.

I just got done using it for the first time, found out you have to repair it for ~700, restock the ammo for about 100 and I only made a piddly 900-something that round.  Seems like just another free-to-play where you're fucked unless you're really good or you pay out of your pocket or stick to using the beginner tanks forever.

And for Panzer II, yes, I HATE being forced to use semi-guns, the only reason I chose it was because it was the upgrade path to get to a Panther

Premium isn't that much a month, you can't expect everything from a free game.

They have to make it like that on higher tiers to make more people pay for premium.
WTf are you moaning for when you made a profit... half the time in my T-44 I can make a loss. But it's ok 'cus I can make it up by playing my PZIV or gift premium Sherman for a round or 2. It's simple once you get to tier 7-8 it's hard to make money on tanks, but all you do is have like 4 garage slots for your top tanks, and keep at least a couple for stuff like the PZIV/T-34 which are lower tier money making machines. That's how I managed, and now I have King Tiger, T-44, Su-152 and specific money makers are T-34-85 (which I may get rid of soon, to research something else) PZIV and M4A2E4.

As it is, I only make like 1300 a round from the Light Tractor or whatever, unless we win, which almost NEVER happens.  Only time I ever made more than that was when I won a round with two kills, three damaging hits on enemy tanks, and a capture assist.  Almost not sure how I even pulled that off tbh

There's gotta be a better (free) way

Good rounds in PZIV I can make like 20,000, on average it'll make like 10,000 profit a round, even if you do really shit you'll probably still make a profit of a couple of thousand, it's just the XP that'll be really low.

I use it as an light assault tank considering that the autocannon is more of a close quarters type of weapon. I personally hate autocannons except for the Russian 37mm autocannon.
