    World Of Tanks

    Anybody here playing this game?

    I'm pretty into it I must say. Good interface and a lot of fun. Sure is frustrating at times though. But overall a good way to waste some time.

    I wouldn't mind if it was a bit more realistic though. Basically so I could stomp on every other tank with my E100 instead of being raped through my lower plate.

    Gunnut should be here shortly, he'll quote you chapter and verse on WOT.

    I stopped playing for about 2 months when I picked up Diablo 3. Diablo 3 turns out to be a big disappointment. It's very repetitive with the same dungeon layout and small group setting. I have been slowing getting back into WOT over the last few days.

    I'm not happy that my beloved E-50 and Marder II are being nerfed. I'm already annoyed that my Sherman is nerfed due to the HE mechanics change. My Hellcat was nerfed. My T30 was nerfed to the ground. The sole reason I play a T-34/85 will be taken away soon (the idiot gun). KV-3 was nerfed to no end. IS-8 sucks.

    Wait...why am I playing this game?

    I'm grinding the American line at the moment. I've go the m6 and easy 8. They're hard work taking them from stock. Favorite tank would be the E75 but since they moved the transmission hit box to the front the thing is constantly catching fire.

    I don't mind the BT2 either. Good to just run around the maps locking onto people and doing the circle of death.

    I here that in 7.5 the E100 will be getting a buff. I've played nearly all the other teir10 heavies on mates accounts and none of them have a gun that bounces like the 150 on the E100. So frustrating.

    The french AMX's were fun when they first came out, being way OP. I got up ot the AMX 13 90. Not so fun anymore.

    Overall its kept me interested for a while. Im very much an average player with 49% win 49% loss and 2 % draw. Cannot seem to get ahead. It seems that when you have a winning streak MM kicks in and boughts you teams that lose in the first minute.

    I checked it out after Gunnut first posted about it but I wasn't interested much.

    Currently my free time goes on the much more fun Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.

    You should use the 128mm on the E-100. The 150mm lacks an effective AP round.

    I played the original Sins for a bit. The game just got too long and boring. Great concept and I love the fleet battles, but it took too long to send a fleet from one system to another.

    Alot of people say to do that. But then I might as well drive the E75. I don't understand why they don't make the 150 more effective. Its not going to make it OP or anything.
    Espcecially with the worlds most known week spot that takes up half the front of the tank.

    Thats all changed with the multiple expansion packs and new factions. Multiplayer games can now take as little as 40 mins.
    Although I have to admit the main reason i like it is the more deliberate pacing and unleashing of huge multi fleet battles on multiple fronts.

    I agree with you. E-75 is a much better tank.

    I have a T110 and the tank I hate the most to encounter is IS-4. I have an IS-4 also and I hate the encounter a T110. E-100 and Maus aren't that scary. They're big and easy to hit.

    My T110 ran into the middle of the field once and was being hit from 3 sides by 4 tanks, one of which was an IS-7. I kept wiggling the tank while backing off (painfully slow). I bounced 17 shots and killed the T20 that was shooting me.

    T110 is a spectacular tank with comprehensive specs, my favorite tank actually. But it seems that the emeragence of new T110E4 will really embarrass those T10 tanks.

    I can't wait for my td e100... Goddam that gun excites me. Currently running about 22 tanks, mostly tier 7 to 10 and grinding free exp for the e100td, e50m and t62a.

    My face of what I have is still the is7. Am at the point were I can consistently put down t110's in a 1v1 fight. Just gotta know where to hit and peekaboom to negate their rof advantage.

    Pretty excited about my batchat becoming a tier 10 too.

    Wow I put way too much time and money into this game
