After an eternity of grinding (not that bad actually) i researched the Tiger H, only to find out that i am 600k short on money, i could get it if i sell the vk3601H or perhaps some of my tier5, but i bet the grinding to get a decent gun on the Tiger its going to be hell, so i dont really want to do it. Any one had Tiger? Any toughts?

[Jopax]

It's a horrible pain and will cost you much money and nerves, so stick with the 3601 if you can, grind up some free xp and try and jump into the tiger with atleast the turret unlocked.

Leave the tracks for last since you don't need the extra load capacity and the xp is better used for the gun/turret/engine upgrades, after that it becomes a pretty good sniper/support heavy

[Rex_Nex]

The tiger... well, it isn't that great stock. Now don't get me wrong; it's not as bad as some people say it is, especially if you've went through the effort of getting the final engines on the VK3601. But on the other hand, it doesn't gain much power as you upgrade it. It starts out "meh" and ends up "hmm".

My advice is completely reliant on whether you liked the VK3601 or not. If you see yourself driving it a lot, then grind out the credits. However, if you are like me, sell it. I found the VK3601 to be a great well-rounded tank... but well-rounded tanks feel kind of boring, you know? Anyway, thats all I can say.

7.2 is out with the American line refresh and new skill system.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Are the new US tanks and TDs any good?

[Rex_Nex]

Cant speak for the TDs, but people are loving the new T10 heavy.

"unable to connect to the network"

...at least the launcher looks okay...

Ah Rexy, haven't played with you for ages. I took a month break I think.

What's the US tanks' pros and cons? I am interested in T30, by the way, is it any good for a Tier 9?

[Rex_Nex]

Oi, buri, I can't really play anymore If you see me online, chances are someone else is playing my account. As for the T30, I could pull something out of thin air based on what I've heard of it (Its a good tier 9, but it is a heavy in a TD tree...), but I haven't been able to play for a good couple weeks now.

New internet is satellite based; didn't read the fine print and notice that means ~1.2sec travel time to the satellite and back (translates to about 1200 ping in-game... makes most online games unplayable )

[Jopax]

The new T34 was wierd at first, then it started printing money.

Damn it feels good to play and not worry about breaking even or making money or anything but murdering the thing in your reticle :>

M103 is a bit wierd but not that bad.

Rex_Nex, awh man that's no good. Are you in a contract with this satellite-based ISP?

Jopax, well done! What are these Mastery Badges? I have got some but I couldn't explain what triggered them...

Wargaming loves April first it seems.

EU got it's KT changed that way, looks mighty fine actually

And the 1st jokes show no sign of stopping, now we have pink camo, katyushas and panzerwherfers and stuff.

Plus the constant stream of random messages you get in your garage screen, some are quite funny, but first you have to realize the game isn't just fucking with you or you got a warning or whatever, something it took me quite a bit of time to catch on to X)

And the mastery badges work collecting weekly statistics I think on all tanks, then comparing any given tank you play (M103 in this case) with the match results of the other tanks. You have four levels, if you are better than 50% of the players with that tank you get the fourth level mastery badge, 80% gets you a level three one, 95% is level two and if you perform better than 99% then you get the Ace tanker badge.
These are displayed by your tanks in the statistics screen and are reset every week I think.

So looks like they are still aiming for a end of April release for the Soviet heavy changes. (So probably about late may har har har)

Will probably keep the KV-2, KV-3 and replacement not sure about; will probably have a lot of things to think about when it comes to the Soviet heavy lines!

Not to mention I'd actually have a second tier 7, the idea is Madness, MADNESS I SAY.

[Girlinhat]

Hmm, so what's the game up to?  I haven't poked on in a while, it's sometimes a difficult game for me to enjoy.  Especially with the in-game money troubles, my arty fires a solid grand every time I pull the trigger!
