I play randomly, but not often enough for a guild.

I just log in, play a couple of games then log off.

I haven't seen anyone on for ages either.

only really worth making a guild when you're in T9+ tanks, and even then its very competitive. Game is good, but I dunno, the freemium model that they use is a bit too much of the pay for perks for my liking.

Phew just finished the bulk of my course training today, so might get some time to play games again.

Does anyone have a spare 3 day premium pass for WoTs ? I fancy just shooting for a bit before I wander back to GW2.

I need to de-stress and shoot things tanky style :D

Please pm me if u have a spare code, cheers.

I don't have any spare codes, but still play from time to time. Ping me if you're going around and I'll join you.

I'm playing, but don't know if I have any premium codes? I checked my account page but couldn't see anything. Where should they be?

Those are codes that work for anyone within a specific time period. You just missed the last one which was part of their bribe for winning golden joystick.

Games gone downhill recently in my opinion now that you can buy premium ammo with credits.

You rarely saw it in random games when it was rl money only. Now most non-terrible players have atleast a few rounds to swap to whenever they meet something they don't have a good chance at penetrating. Good move by wargaming though, somehow the retarded masses think this removes some pay to win... when infact its the opposite, since anyone with premium tanks and account can afford to spam much more premium ammo.

They seem to be overhauling the maps for the new renderer and making them much more arty friendly too :(.

I haven't noticed any premium ammo, but it would explain why someone ranted at me after I did a 1 shot kill in my T18 TD. Lucky shot I guess :)

The new physics are fun, as you can lean over on cliffs etc and also punt other tanks off cliffs if u get it right :D

Got beta access to the secret closed beta thing for flying whatsits, BTW but not my thing at all.

Yeh the new physics is great and the game looks good with the new renderer.

I was doing my daily double with artillery the other day and this happened. AMX 50 100 thought he was going to ram a scout...



More ranting about about premium ammo. Many tanks have poor penetration as a tradeoff for other benefits (medium tanks, super heavies like E-100/Maus etc etc) but now they can slap some premium ammo in and negate the disadvantage entirely and of course super heavies armor advantage can be negated by other tanks firing premium at them. The only tanks that benefit from this change are the tanks with really good armor sloping as most premium ammo does not get normalization vs sloped armor.

HE derp guns are particularly nasty with premium ammo loaded, a KV-2 with the 152mm has 86pen and 900 average damage with HE but shooting at say the front of a KV-1S will likely only do ~300 damage. Load some premium ammo in there with 206 pen and 700 average damage and you can one shot the KV-1S with a good damage roll. PZ4's, M4 Sherman's, Hetzer's etc with the smaller derp guns can also ruin your day. Not to mention that the high cost of premium ammo is not much of a barrier since they do so much damage per shell and thus can still make a profit.

Sorry. Wish they would just remove the premium ammo from the game..

When you hit Tier 8, it stops being so profitable.

The premium ammo will always stay, its how they make money, I think they made it possible with regular credits simply because you couldn't compete in clan wars unless you were running premium ammo.

Plus the fact is, if you own territory, you get gold per day, so if you pay for the ammo, you get the territory, which gets you the gold, which means you'll never lose and not have to pay for gold ammo anymore eventually. It had to change. It sucks up until tier 8+, because it gives a massive advantage.

And yes the physics are ace, I had a laugh on my first game with it. I used to just cruise control until the cliff edge stopped me, until I fired my light tank off a cliff into water :D

Lol, fallen off a few cliffs myself or slid off when positioning my tanks.

I've yet to do a successful bowling attempt.

I saw a heavy sitting on a ledge, and managed to ram him off into some lights/meds below, narrowly missing them, pretty sure I wouldn't get the kill for that though :(
