nice looking T1, Sol. I've been playing since the Beta days. Although I've not been playing to much lately, it really has gotten to the point that if I don't have gold, I'm not doing to much with it
yeah...its getting a little demoralizing. i'm getting hit by people that i can't even see...heavy tanks are like sports bikes and that have guns firing unobtainium....if you're tricking out your tank you can't even get hits. plus everyone plays sniper and gets in a spot to hide out in and blast ya when you're trying to outflank them to get to the flag.
its craziness but i'm gonna give it a little while more before i say screw it.
Sorry Sol didn't see your reply, I'd closed up my laptop and started watching the worst officiated pro football game in history. I'm a Seahawks fan and it was hard to watch that game, the offense just couldn't get into the endzone. Luckily for me my pretty much my whole family are Colts fans, so good for them.
I remember when update 8, I think it was came out, I watched one of my TD's tuck himself into a small hollow and he just about became invisible. That was when the camo we applied finally became effective. I know what you mean about not being able to see what is hitting you, it's really frustrating when you've got an enemy near by, and he disappears off the map.
I use BlackOwl18E. I'll find you once I get my new computer. My old one isn't working so I haven't been on lately. Right now I'm leveling up my tier 7 T71, but I always enjoy a good match with the tier 1 tanks!
I too have a Soviet MS-1 that I level up for shits and giggles. My real shits and giggles tank is my T-44. Each member I have on that tank has two skills with a third 70% developed.
My nick is Notingham, yeah it's a play on the English version. I've only got one TD, the SU-85, I don't play it much, hell I don't play much at all anymore. I was playing the Beta of WOW but I upgraded my HD and haven't bothered to reinstall it. I'm looking forward to what Warhammer will do with the World of Ships, that should be interesting.
As soon as I get to my next base I'm buying a new PC and getting back into that game. Was leaching off my roommate's PC before, but now that I've got a place to myself all I have is my crappy laptop and it's about impossible to play on it.
whats killing me are all these stealth tanks. i can take people not using bounding overwatch when they're going after someone. i can take the over speed and over armored vehicles...what irks me are all these tanks that disappear right before your very eyes. i still refuse to spend money but its already tough...what do these guys call them? wallet warriors?!!
I was playing my Chinese light last night, and got hit three times by an unseen enemy. Now I know that I was lit up by his team mates, however it used to be that when you fired your cannon it lit your tank up. It now seems that with enough camo cover attached and the crew trained in stealth you can fire without giving your position away, and that sucks
That depends. When you fire a gun, you lose cover from any bush you are within 15m of and lose some of your inherent camo rating. So, if you have an entire forest between you and the guy shooting you and you do not have a friendly close enough to detect the shooter, there is no way of him lighting up.
If the tank's inherent camo rating, crew skill, intervening bushes and range still leaves the enemy short on sighting distance, you (and everyone else) is SOL.

How about when you are following a target as he crosses an open field just waiting for a reload... and he vanishes.
ReplyDeletei'm playing under SNAFU_Solomon on the game. i upgraded to the tank destroyer and i'm playing the game like everyone else. pure sniper mode.
ReplyDeleteI use SpudmanWP.... I play mostly TDs, so yes sniping mode as always.
DeleteAlthough, my Hellcat is more of a scout sniper.
I do have a few Light & Med tanks and just got my T1 Heavy.

DeleteGot to love Wallet Warriors :)
DeleteWhat you have to worry about is the guys using lots of Gold Rounds. Problem is that you never know who they are.
And yes, I wish targets would fade instead of vanishing.
Or my favorite term for them: Credit Card commandos. In-game name: da9125
