The IS-3 fully upgraded is a great tank, I consider it a "Medium-Heavy" and tried to play it like that.

Great gun with a large damage potential, but it seems everyone can pen your armor, at least it felt that way

Got one shoted by a T95 on Saturday trying for my 3x, ammo racked me.

I remember being on Mines in my Panther with the 75/L100, shooting uphill at an IS-3 at the underside of the Pike nose and couldn't pen it. I'm not having the same experience. Top Package is 44Kxp, I've got about 19k so far. I play for the 2x and usually walk away. The amount I play has dropped way off.

I'm back to Titanfall lately.

Didn't get any screen-shots, though maybe I should have...

Best game that I think I've had - Westfields map, Standard battle, widely mixed teams, using my Sherman.
Looked at roster, I was lowest tier so decided I'd do the scout thing. Started in village at top of map - went
uphill, skirted open field in treeline, kept waiting for something to pop up along the low ridge & nail me. Nada.
(Everybody on the other team had gone 'hey diddle, diddle, straight up the middle' and ignored the flanks.)
Got to end, skirted over, spotted an arty (M41) facing downrange - nailed him. Drive past, nothing.

Got to edge of plateau - there's an A20, an M7 Priest, and an AMX105 sitting in the little village. Hit A20, he
looked confused, he pulls forward, hit him again. Gone. Priest shot at me, went over, shot him, gone. AMX
took a shot, under. Nailed him. Spotted another AMX105 in the far treeline - we both traded shots, both missed,
he pulls back into a little pocket out of sight.

I drop down into the village, cross the open area, here comes a T34. One shot - smoked him. Into the treeline,
peeked into the area where I thought the AMX was - he shoots the dirt in front of himself (can you self-damage?),
I pull up, he charges me. One shot him. Turn to head to cap, hit from side - look, here comes an M8A1. We both
shoot - he tracks me, I ammo-rack him. I reload first, he's gone. Fix tracks, head to cap, game ends w/ all
enemy vehicles destroyed.

Ended up with 62K credits and almost 3K experience. Got the medal for killing four arty pieces also - can't
remember name.

I logged off after that - figured after a run of luck like that, RNG would rape me for the rest of the night.

dunno..you have five tier 10s pin ya then fire at once

it happens a bunch it seems. its worse if you run.... me i just charge them...forces them to kill ya at that point.no sense going done like a bitch lol

nice that they gave out 7 days premium and an extra day for that light tank op.

im kinda digging this crusader for a light tank its more of a small medium imho(least it can take a hit or 4 before popping) once fully outfitted

tier 4-6 has been a money maker for me the last few days 20-60k per game ..starting to really get good at working that Pershing and t20.

anyone thats on..look me up (delta69alpha)..im normally running in a platoon of 2-4 guys and were in it for fun....so expect a ton og laughs and a ton of ass kicking

When did they incorporate the TK option?

I've never seen it work - I've seen tards shooting at one another in the spawn, driven through
a hail of auto-cannon fire from some derp-meister wasting ammo for some reason, and had
folks pull in front of me as I squeezed off a round at a down-range target. Nothing has ever
happened.

PC vs 360 ..I bet..

Though at times I think.blue on blue would keep some tards in check

one thing that annoys me is the lack of players abilty to keep track where thier team members are..i had a TD who wasstupidenpugh to try the "lets hide on the second floor of a burnt out building" get up there then get hit once and come rolling back full speed.

now..im on the opposite side of the street in a tier 5 light tank(crusader) having it out with a 34/85 iirc maybe a 34 anyway. im rocking the fuck outta that russian medium..down to 10 hit points.. t34 is down to one good hit..i beat him on the reload..as im firing here comes shit bag TD from his perch and rams me,,shot goes high..t34 takes me out.

then shitbag td..runs and hides the rest of the match!!!

things like that or blocking/jamming up in choke points vs pushing through...

guys ive played with wish theyd take the base cap feature away and have it straight death match last tank team standing wins ..put it on maps where fuckers cant run off cliff or drown to avoid the kill..

I know the PC version has the TK capability - and I know that the feature is there on the XBox
version, just not turned on. (You can see the blocks for team damage, etc., but it's not been
kicked in yet.)

They ought to turn it on w/o a big notice - then when these tards take off from the spawn
blasting away at one another, that whole 'actions have consequences' thing could kick in.
Lose points and get a timeout... maybe that'll get their attention.

TK was on at times during the BETA and it was rough.

Infrequently I've seen TK on during games, the player who did the teamkill will have their player name in blue and it's a free for all to kill them.

I like playing arty so for two reason I say leave TK off, 1) people who troll their friendly arty 2)Dangerclose support fire. True I usually play Bert and he has no splash but I love being able to drop shells without worrying about other greens right up against the target.

I ended up with 14 days of premium time. I'd planned on playing Titanfall and going back to Destiny.

Finally got the top gun on the IS-3. At least now I can hurt the Tier 9s.

Started the French light tanks late last week.

That stupid little ELC AMX is fun once you 1)figure out that it's not a tank so don't try to play it like one 2)You have the 90mm top gun

Not really a machine for us old & slow guys, but when things go the right way.....

5x plus the free days of premium.

I went right everyone else went left. That T28 prototype never even knew I was there. No one knew where I was until I'd reset the cap, killed the VK and then the Tiger finally saw me; too late for red they had us outnumbered but green was in the cap for the win by a few seconds.

Yeah, I can believe the 3 hours part - if you have a good connection... problem will be
getting 3hrs TV time to let it download w/o the console timing out and shutting down...

Will have to grab a book or something and keep an eye on it. Can't remember how long
it can sit un-attended before the pop up message saying 'Console will shut down shortly'
shows up...

Sounds about right - did the upgrade while Mrs. Tanker doing some reading for
her SOC class - just kept jumping on to make sure the console didn't time out.

Didn't have time to play a game afterwards - will do that tonight. Other than a
slight change to the garage screens, any real noticeable changes?

Hi PhilinSeattle and all XboxWOTs! I recently discovered this game after years on COD. Been playing for about a month and have several solid Tier III and Tier IV British tanks I've earned through playing and upgrading. Wanted to introduce myself and see if I can send anyone an invite to platoon up.

I'm GlowingDonut on Live.

Mostly play my Covenator with 3" Howitzer, Binocs, Camo net, 100 Octane. It's relatively fast and hits harder than my other Cruiser III and Cruiser IV. I'm also trying to play up my Pzkpwgn IIG to upgrade, but that thing seems really slow and the auto-cannon isn't very hard hitting. I try to play Scout in it most of the time, but once I'm seen by anyone over a light tank, I'm a gonner in less than a min. Any advice?

I completed this weeks 100K silver OP pulling what was essentially a suicide scout, lit up 12 reds before I got tagged in that blaze of glory. Showed my team enough that they pivoted to that flank and tied red up long enough for us to grab the base. Otherwise green was going to get rocked hard, out numbered at the end.

Run the elc like a rail buggy on crack...get to where you can either spot...slide it sideways hauls ass back...rinse repeat for spots. Or...get with other lites and fast flank invade kill arty or hit tanks in the ass. We run them in packs...3-4 at a time...with a arty and a tank to help them or us.
You get 4 elcs appearing at your spawns flank before your 59 meters from it with arty dropping...it puts you on your toes.
Just pray your other team mates get the hint.....most don't and the initiative is lost.

Wait till you get the Cromwell and have it decked out. Don't run it like medium ...run it like your covenator and you'll kick ass. The cov is a bad ass lil tank....you hit a heavy or medium in the sides with that howy up close and it'll do some tier 3-4 hurt. I've taken a few heavies that way.

Delta69alpha is my live call sign..I play with other Arfcom guys and got a good base of fellas we play with.I'm on mostly weekends ...due to work.

Oh...get a Matilda ...Max it out....run gun rammer..tool box (or vent) and better suspension ..and enjoy raping guys in your tier...and putting the hurt on tier 6 tanks...(we run packs of 3-4 and while slow it'll throw so much lead down range it ain't funny) ..

Just had my best match ever...

Posted: 1/21/2015 11:33:20 AM EDT

[#37]

People both amuse & annoy me in this game...

Decided to do some credit farming last night, and ramp up a noob crew on my Lol-Traktor.
Fitted out with binocs, you can sit in one corner of the Province map, especially if on the opposite side of
the valley from the castle, and shoot over into the other corner. 500+ meter shots with a really decent
success rate, especially if you let the reticle shrink all the way down.

Timer says go, 95% of the team is out the gate like lemmings on crack, I sit back and start plinking the other
team as they're spotted. Ended up with something like 12 kills, a whole slew of medals and what I thought
was a ridiculous amt of creds for a Tier I tonk mission. (Not that I'm complaining.

)

Dude that YOLO'd with the lemmings in his T1 (and I think was one of the first to get whacked

) was
beotching on the headset about how I wasn't pulling my weight, I needed to get into the game and quit
wasting time... (sounded about 12 y/o or so)... I muted him. Game ends, he sends this giant profanity-laden
text. I just replied 'LOL' and let it go. Got another one a few minutes later and reported him.

First one that I think I've reported for any BS. I mean, c'mon... CTFO - it's a free game. You're gonna stroke
out before you reach puberty!

I play Art a lot, at least with Bert I do, but I love killing arty before they can do anything. I took the elc over the top on widepark, killed 2 of the reds 3 arty, hit the other and made some big fat russian bastard show his ass to my team so he could kill me while I was reloading, and boom they were both dead.

1.8 is coming

http://worldoftanksxbox360edition.com/en/news/announcements/update-1_8-overview/

Still grinding the IS3.

Went back to the M4 Sherman so I can get the Easy 8, 20K XP in one day, screwed up and didn't use the weekend stacked Op until Sunday.

Thinking about getting a Tiger, Tiger II, or JPanther II, while they are on sale.

I love my Tiger.

Currently playing around with the Chaffee. My survival rate is abysmal.

Anybody else have issues caused by the monster patch?

Now when I enter the game, the initial screen takes forever to come up,
and there have been a few times where everybody has already moved
out of the base.

Last night, the screen came up as a Red tank came into view, and I was
hit twice before I could even get moving....

Only issue I've had is ghost rounds on my premium tank. PzIV 120 m out..broad side ...full red..fire..nothing.....fire again....nothing ...

Happened way to many times the other day to be an issue on my end (skill wise) LOL

Had entry lag like your talking about once yesterday ....that's it.

I'll occasionally have a long loading time and load into the game late. I did this procedure once before and it helped when I was having it happen a lot.

19. I am having trouble with loading times, what can I do?

-During the patching process sometimes the games Data becomes Fragmented. Please do the following steps to run a File Integrity Check

Restart the game and hold Left Bumper + Right Bumper + Y while pressing Start at the Press Start screen.

You should see some activity in the Launcher (Managing Layout, progress bars) instead of just immediately getting "Press A to Continue"

This will attempt to defragment the files on your hard drive, without having to re-download entirely.

You can also delete and reinstall the game. I've done that at least once too.

I picked up the Tiger, played it on Saturday and in less than 20 games I had the top package. It helped that I transferred my multiple skill Panther crew in and they were instantly 100% trained.

That middle 88 was brutal, bouncing the shots off the ass of an E75 perfect end on shot and nothing. I'f I'd know I would have saved the silver and not bought that package.

My KD is good, damage is ok, win rate is crap.

Did more damage than 13 of the green team combined.

My win rate is sucking lately too, seems there are a ton of "Lone Wolf" players that like to run out and die within the first 5 minutes.

Still holding at a 58% but that is down from 60%

I also got bitched at by two different players in the same game, teammate died in front of me so I was using his tank as cover shooting across the valley at a Black Prince on Highway.
Teammate got mad at me thinking I was behind him, not allowing a retreat, apparently he didn't understand that I was far behind him when he died and pulled up after he exploded.
The Black Price was pissed because I was using the dead tank as cover, which was absorbing his shots, while I kept hitting him from 350m away.

People forget to use "Cover" and "Concealment"
