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... 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`.......

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.

What`s your screen name Bish?

Search my name troublemaker66 and I should be able to see your name also. Wonder why you didn`t show up?

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!).

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/

Two tanks were chasing my SPG so I drove into the lake so they would not get the kill. 

Sorry...but I am gonna get a premium account for 30 days....  I keep telling myself nothings gonna changed, reason...im not gonna spend on gold rounds..

So i can only locate or play with guys on the European server, is that right?

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

i chose the m36 instead of the m18 i find the m36 slow

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!

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.

Oh my gosh the M8A1 is so fun. =]

I was looking through the WoT site today and noticed they have a World of Warplanes in development. Couldn't find a release date though. Has anyone heard anything on this.

At this rate, i will never get any models done.

The also have World of Warships or battleships...   I got banned for thinking out loud so I kinda veered away.  The ban has been lifted but I like to sniff glue.

I got access to the Alpha build of World of Warplanes a few months ago. It seemed good enough, but my laptop wasn't capable of running it at a smooth FPS so I passed on it. I believe it is in Beta testing now, you can sign up for that if you want to try it out.

I see the Beta test thing, it says closed so i assume you had to be invited or something. I am in no rush and will wait until its release. Still getting to grips with WoT.

I saw the world of ships as well. But not sure about that one.

anybody have the t-50? oh boy what a joy to drive!

Also what do you guys think about the holiday garage?

 About the holiday scheme,they did the same kinda thing during Halloween...I think it`s kinda cool, if you sit and listen to it for a while, you can hear people hootin` in the distance, like a party in the woods when we were kids...lol.

I rathe rthe like the holiday garage. And they have some nice pressies for the holidays. I am really enjoying this game.

Good to see you guys having fun, last couple times I've played I've gotten so honked off I had to quit it to keep my blood pressure down...

Other night I whacked a light tank with my 76mm, the gunner yelled 'Penetration' but it didn't do any damage whatsoever at all. Then ended up getting hit and instant killed by one enemy shot, I know a Hellcat didn't have a great deal of armour but geeze louise. Plus I think they've changed the maps around, I used to find a good spot and snipe, now it seems I can hardly do that anymore, and an American TD can't go head to head in a slugging match.

Maybe I'll be back in a couple of weeks...

...then there`s the Match Maker...I must`ve pizzed that thing off because I never enter a battle, with any of my tanks, as the highest tier tank. I`d say outta 10 battles , I`d come in at the middle or lower 8 battles. I`ve been losing more credits than earning. Now that I bought my Tiger, and burned up all my credits in doing so, I`m back to the grind. I mostly play from 7-9 pm , just to get my bonus XP. I`m with Cliff...getting ready to take a "leave of absence"..lol.

Lol. Sounds like they nerfed everything again...

Well, yesterday I bought (finally!) a Jagdpanzer IV. I'm kinda disappointed with it... it has sloped armor, but everything can pen it... grrr... I need the upgraded suspension (which costs 4,100 XP) to mount anything better, so im essentially stuck with a stock vehicle. Right now im grinding out credits on my StuG III, so i can get better crew training and modules for the Jagdpanzer... so I dont have to grind it as much.

Going to take a long time before i get a Jagdpanther II...

The JagdPanzer IV is the turd of the German TD line I'm afraid. Even with the top gun, you'll find it hard to penetrate anything from the front  in your tier or higher. The rest of the line is great though, after the Jagdpanzer you get the fantastic Jagdpanther, then either the Ferdinand or Jagdpanther II. I brought the Ferdi today (was hoping it would be on sale, but wasn't ), and even in it's stock setup it's pretty good.

Gee, hate to see other people having problems but at least I know I'm not alone now! 

I'm also having some problems with my ISP just cutting out every now and then so I probably won't be on for a week or so. Bummer, I was hoping to earn enough XP to get my Hellcat a 90mm gun. Oh well...

Len, I'll probably be back in a week or two, depends on how things go. 

I have noticed the same issues as you guys. A couple of time i got penetrations but it didn't seem to reduce the damage. And also a couple of times i have been taken out with one shot and having 100% health. I know on one occasion it was a Hetzer took me out, and i was in a Pz IIIA. But still i would have thought it would have taken more than one hit. Then yesterday i was hit twice in quick succession by the same tank. And it wasn't one with a cannon like the Pz II has. Theres deffinatly something going on.
