Funny, I've seen people tying in Cyrillic/Russian on the US/Canada server. I just assumed they were Russians?

Finally earned enough experience and money to buy a M18 Hellcat the other night. Wow, what a difference from my M10- it's like going from a dump truck to a sports car!

M18's a great TD, just don't let the speed get you into trouble! A lot of the time you see them charging off by themselves only to be killed one minute into the match Confused

I dislike dying one minute into the match.  Sometimes when I do, I stay to watch the battle.  Few are very entertaining.

The premium account...man do the credits and xp fly in...but its to me no different then the free account.  I  still get mashed fairly easily.  I could buy gold rounds but man are they expensive so I refused to.

Yeah, I use it like my M10 moving from cover to cover or hiding behind the heavies sniping at the enemy.  The greater speed and agility of the M18 allow me to spend less time in the open and vulnerable.

I've seen M18s rush the foe, gotta remember the vehicle is still a glass cannon- killer punch but paper thin armour.

Modeler#1: I've always liked the M36 Jackson but everyone told me to go with the Hellcat.

Looking forward to earning my 90mm gun!

A while back i downloaded curse client a mod add on for world of tanks. so far i only have a reload timer mod but there are a lot to download.

Speaking of mods, there is a really nice Christmas themed garage mod I stumbled across a couple of days ago. Link for anyone who wants it - http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/182455-081082-christmas-garage-and-other-goodies/

Bish lives in the UK... different server.  You can play with Alex (Pineapple), Bish.  Wish we could all play together tho.  T.T

Shame all the severs can't be integrated together, but they're struggling enough as it is. I don't think WG have upgraded them since open beta. Also, just in case anyone missed it, there is a code on the WoT EU website that gives you 1 day of Premium access, and 300,000 credits worth of consumables (that I sold straight away!).

I have just joined up, took me all day to load, and have just been running through the training package. Been killed 3 times already (you would never guess i was a Warrior gunner). Going to take me a while to get used to it. I did look a couple of months ago but it looked to confuseing. But not quite as bad as i thought.

If you want to feel even smaller, try it in a T-50....I don`t even bother firing my gun, just spot and run for my life...Dead It is fun pestering a big tank...their turrets turn slow and I do circles around him...just don`t get in front of the gun....keeps him "lit up" until "big brother" shows up...then I zip away and find a new tank to harass...quite fun...hate it when someone does it to me tho`.......Big Smile

Before I log out, I feel that my avatar, the Waffentrager, should be put in WoT. If Dragon introduces new ones, shouldn't WoT?

just my 5 cents.

Just had fun platooning up with Troublemaker and PaperPanzer.  Good games guys!!!  Let's do it again soon.

It was quite fun, I'm jealous though, they both have far better tanks than I do...

Chromdome35 decided to show me a tier X battle in my Ram II, I have to say i've never felt so small, what was funny was i was the only tank left, i was too afraid to move out of cover!

Picture of me and Chromdome35 in our Marders (after Troublemaker66 left) Sad-

And three of my StuGIII (which should really be called a StuK III, because it has the 10.5 cm howitzer)-

Stick out tongue

Auctung! Panzer!

I haven't encountered hackers... yet. But, of course, they could also be using gold ammo... i don't know why so many other users complain about it... as said earlier, if you can't beat em, join em! Unfortunately my connection cut out around 9pm, didn't come back after midnight... (yeah yeah... i stayed up.Stick out tongue)

There are hackers in WoT? Huh?

I've come across bots, afk's, teamkillers, and many moron, but never hackers.

It`s a computer game...of course there`s hackers...they won`t want to make it obvious but getting killed killed by one shot by a tank 2 tiers below you, and rounds are bouncing off him (Godmode) is kinda obvious. It sucks for the people who just want to have fun and double for the serious guys that think this is real...lol. Just my opinion, can`t prove it but from past gaming experience, there`s always hackers.

been going at it some more tonight... decided to take a stab at the french heavy line as well...

troublemaker66: sorry for not responding until late at your quick message whilst i was in WoT... in the middle of battling... Embarrassed

Yeah yeah, sure....Stick out tongue. I was doing great until about 10pm...must be the " Hacker`s Hour"...all of a sudden I couldn`t penetrate any armor and was getting "one - shotted" every other game...can`t prove anything I said but, when a StugIII kills my M4A3E2 with one shot...makes ya wonder....Hmm

that's arty for ya... dangerous until you get close, i wonder how many people have put complaint messages in arty players just because of the vehicle they play.

I lost my temper a few times at arty drivers...they just pizz me off with their long range nonsense...be a man and get a real tank you$&#@!$!

Oh wow, maybe I should retire my little T57 Angel

Ripcord: I wouldn't think a light would have too much trouble with artillery if you keep moving fast and erratically. Yeah I'll pot-shot lights with my inviso-tank but I prefer to wait till some heavy comes rolling along in the open all big and bad, noting can hurt me, and then BLAM!

So..  my super speedy go kart light tank you aint  (<--for the grammer thread Wink ) never gonna catch one hit blow up tank ...(breath)  can not see these ninja tanks when I go by?  Oh... I see where you said you can see them if you get close enough...  ok never mind.  At this point its gonna be easier to hit post then delete.  (its closer to the mouse cursor.)

PS  lol at my kamaze medals..  which you should have if you have a light tank...  Indifferent

they say "Destroy a higher-tier enemy vehicle by ramming it. Once per battle"   umm i have never seen a kamakaze do it twice....

Yeah I use the term 'cloaked' jokingly for getting shot repeatedly by a tank that never shows up on the map or having an enemy you were shooting at seem to just blink out and vanish without having moved under cover. I still haven't watched the video on the mechanics of visibility yet but really need to. Eventually I just got tired of being drop-shotted by an opponent I never see and went out and bought a TD and put a camo net on her - if you can't beat 'em join 'em eh?  

The term for that is "Invisitank"...gotta trip over him to see him. Some TD`s can see really far, especially if he bought the coated optics in the equipment section. SPG`s are very far-sighted too...nothin` like getting one-shot-ed from an invisitank or arty...scared my wife more than once when I screamed at my laptop....Super Angry
