I never noticed a speed problem with the T-150. It's no racehorse, certainly, but it's better than lots of tanks.

Congrats!

Could someone enlighten me?

A Polish WW2 tank drama about a tank crew of four who have a dog. Its even on Amazon.

I refuse to believe that dog killed anyone, he looks like he's waiting for someone to throw a ball.

Didn't the Polish Army also have an artillery bear?

Yes, with the caveat that Szarik is fictional while the motherfucking alcoholic chain-smoking spycatching warbear was not.

As for what the dog has done, I think it's true he didn't actually kill anyone directly. He did, however, save the crew on numerous occasions by delivering messages and spare parts across enemy lines ; Warning them of German paratroopers ; Catching hiding SS men ; Locating a sniper.

Oh he also planted explosives at a u-bahn station in Berlin that was acting as a stronghold, so I guess he did kill some Nazis after all!

My average DPG for yesterday, playing the T150 almost exclusively, was 819.

My average DPG in the KV-1S is over 1200.

Most of this is not because the KV-1S has a bigger gun, but because it can get into position to use it better.

Farm=stolen.

Somebody likes his WN7.

I am so happy to be in the Indien Panzer and able to pen things without gold it's totally obscuring the fact that the tank is slower than my T54E1 and the gun takes forever to aim. Good times.

Now I'm curious - where would one find that statistic?

T-150 remains my absolute favorite tank for various reasons.

I also believe it still holds my best stats, though I could be wrong on that. I also like the KV-4, though I freely admit that it is SLOOOOWWW. Too slow to do much on bigger/non-city maps really. The armor is great (except against T10 tanks), and the Long-107 is an equally great gun, by Russian standards (in penetration). Its just a pain to get into position to use said advantages.

What's this? I'm getting consumables for free if I do good in a battle.

Victory!

I can't stand the bloody thing, the armor is all flat surfaces so anything tier 8 and up can easily penetrate it, and the long 107 has awful aimtime and crap DPM, along with awful view range. And that's all ignoring the whole "slow as molasses" thing. Easily the worst tier 8 heavy out of the ones I've driven, IMO.

It's closest competitor in role among the T8 Heavies would be the King Tiger, which has similar pen, DPM and accuracy, better aimtime and view range, better mobility and a more effective armor layout.

On an unrelated note, I just picked up the 110 and still have stock turret, stock suspension and the D-25T and I already love it.

It feels good to report someone for "insults and provocations" once in a while. Don't know how much it does, but I've done my part.
Had a nice game with E-75. In the end, there were only me, a Jagdtiger 8.8cm and a G.W.Panther left on our team and a T-54 on the other team after I got the last heavy they had left, that tried to cap us. I wanted to stay at base for a minute, anticipating that he might go there, then go cap if he didn't turn up, but the others wanted me to go immediately, so... I did. Was just about 200 meters away when T-54 came and took out our arty and knocked out the engine of the Jagdtiger before I came there and got a good shot at him, but he ran away. He started to insult us and saying we had no tactical sense leaving the base open like that and called us useless cunts and whatnot. Jagdtiger had to stay at our base because of his engine and I went capping. I spotted him just before entering their base and finished him off. I just had time to write "We won!" before battle ended. I wanted to give him a nice insult back, but there was no time... Oh well, he might have a win rate of 59%, but this was not one of his games...

What the flying fuck!
I played Arctic Region with my StugIII and found a place to snipe. Then came two idiots in a platoon (own team) and pushed me off the cliff and into the lake below, killing me. Fuck! I hate idiots like that. Reported them and sent a ticket to WG with replay. Hope it helps a little bit.

I admit I'm odd in liking the KV-4. I've managed to get good results with it, but that's probably a healthy dose of luck more than anything else.

Still wish I was at the ST-1 already though.

The ST-1 is a tank I'd like to try, seeing as it actually has gun depression, a rare trait in the Soviet line, and the M62 is an excellent gun.

I'm looking forward to it myself. As well I should since its been holding onto the majority of my free XP since I don't want to grind the 44k XP needed for the BL-9.

I readily admit that most of my interest in the KV-4 comes from how much I love the look of the tank. Same reason I raced for the KV-1, too :L

Install something like XVM or Locastan's stats pack, or install Wotstats and point it at your dossier file.

In other news, I fucking sucked today. Bah. Need to get my head back in the game.

I should really buy a 110 before they nerf the lolbroken HEAT to sane levels. Had it unlocked for a while.

Gamescom mission. You get premium consumables for the first tank of each nation you kill, possibly for the duration of gamescom.

Also we're on a x5 weekend this weekend.

This T54E1's 105mm Autoloader can't come soon enough... I've already blown my whole supply of 90mm HEAT!

Tanks kept coming up over a hilltop and I kept oneshotting them, three in a row.

Gah! These days have been ... interesting regarding gaming...
Tried to make use of the 5x, but ping varied between 100ms and more than 1000ms. Horrible!

I have "accelerate crew training" on most of my tanks. It states it doubles the training on the least trained member. Does this mean that 5x makes the training 5x faster as well?
