You haven't lived until you kill 7, damage 11, dole out 3000+ damage, and finish the round with 34 health in a tier 6 t-150.......

I ran into a giant pack of under gunned seals in tier 4 & 5 machines and they were too afraid of the big bad 107mm to rush me. Intuition is also an epic perk for slow reload times. I reloaded instantly 3 times in that round.

Nice!

Wait, how do you reload instantly?

The crew perk "intuition" gives you a chance(in my experience, about 15-20%) to reload instantly while switching ammunition types. Certain tanks I use it on, I got into the habit of instantly flipping ammo types right after firing. The rewarding "WTF" hate mail after you pump an apcr round followed by an HE into the same spot on a tank is very rewarding.

Will be tanking tonight since I worked 1st shift today and will be working 3rd shift tomorrow so no sleep for me.

I'll most likely be on the east server, running my M4 from 2am - 5am or somewhere around then.

Wow, the crew builds their second skill percentage pretty quickly.

The skills I picked:

Commander: sixth sense

Gunner: snapshot

Driver: smooth ride

Radio Man: situational awareness

Loader: safe stowage

GJ on completing 1st skillset to 100%... yes they build quickly because it's on a huge bell curve... going from 0-26% is the same xp as going 99-100% so it slows down a lot after about 60/70%

what is your first skillset?... I'm partial to camo on meds and lights... once to about 40% on the 2nd then retrain for silver to 6th sense and safe stowage and then start them back up on camo again.

I guess my noob is showing. I took their title ( commander, gunner, etc.) as their first skill and the first additional skill as their "second" skill.

Ah... You got finished with the base skill... Perk/skills are what you are working on now

Safe stowage and sixth are both only effective when they are at 100%... For that reason I personally choose something else first and then when they are about 40% into the 2nd skill retrain with silver...

Beyond that what you picked are good skills but IMHO there are note important...

For hevies I start with repairs... On meds and lights camo... Not being seen is huge... Then I go for the gunner and view range skills... Search on YouTube for quickybaby and his skill/perk vids

The wallet warriors were out in force this morning. Nothing but camo tanks spamming gold. If I got shot at I died. 20 or so battles with 2 victories and I survived 1 battle.

Tried hanging back, tried backing up a heavy, tried staying in a large group...dead.

I think I'm gonna try taking a break for a while before I rage kill my computer.

Just got my US Tier 7 T29....the stock gun sucks oh so badly, but man I can get some wicked ricochets off of it. Cant wait to mount the top 105mm gun. The stock 76mm gun is laughable in anything above a tier 6 battle. Really cannot wait till I get my M103, buddy of mine has one and its a beast.

In reply to The_Jed:

You can paint tanks in camo for 30 days for around 30k silver, and you can purchase premium ammo(gold rounds) with silver as well. Depending upon the tank, I sometimes carry a handful of premium rounds, and in some cases(new tank with a E36 M3ty gun), I load only those. LoL. The added cost in silver doesn't matter to me as I still have around 20mil in silver after purchasing 5 new tier 7 machines last week.

for the t29 most people suggest either playing though the t20 or the m6 so at least you start off with the 90mm... can't imagine playing that thing with the ez8 gun lol.

In reply to donalson:

You should get steel wall every round......unless you take a kv-2 derp up the ass.

lol I wouldn't know... don't have it... I do have the m6 so eventually I'll have it but I'm grinding so many other lines out and heavies aren't really my bag... same reason I don't have any TD's higher than tier7 lol... but I am about 150 battles away from researching my first tier10 med :)

Decided to give it another go this morning for the 3xp... took a dozen or so battles to get it. I survived once due to extreme camping.

I suppose the fact that my winrate and survival rate have gone to E36 M3 is due to school being out. So I'm being mercilessly slaughtered by a bunch of kids.

Painted my tank camo for 7 days for 12,500 silver. (30 days was 50,000)

Camoflage tomato.

Been there, done that, wasn't fun. Even with gold, it wouldn't pen most of the tanks it got thrown in against, and you sure can't drive around them. Fortunately, I had been hoarding my free XP to shorten the pain.

Ever so slowly clawing my way back up toward a 50% win rate. It was just about 50.5% before last week precipitous drop and the whiny rage.

Question: Can I sell off lower level tanks and still be able to develop higher ones?

If so what is a good one to get rid of?

I got rid of the Chinese, French, British and Japanese tanks I started with.

As for the first tier, I believe you can always "get them back" for free if you have an open garage slot. I skipped the Japanese and Chinese tanks entirely. Eventually dumped the French tanks too. For the rest of them, I'd research any of the second tier tanks I thought I might want to use, then dispose of the tier 1's. I kept the American tier 1 for a while because, fully kitted out, its a decent tank at its tier. For a while, I'd go back to it if I needed a little no risk cash or just wanted to go "seal clubbing" (Shooting up hapless newbies)

In reply to Flight Service:

The only low tanks I have are a few tier 2-3 premiums. Otherwise, I might have an oddball tier 4, and a plethora of 5-7. I counted the other day and am sitting at over 50 tanks in the garage. LoL
