I bought the 59, and it is one big ass cash cow! That thing makes more cash in losing games than the best games I have had in my Tiger. The Tiger just took a back seat. In 2 hours of play I have added vertical stabilization, toolbox, and WAR. The crew is sitting at about 96% before I had to go to work.
What crew skills do I need to work on? I am debating on getting rid of the wet ammo rack and getting vents or binocs. Does adding the camo paint that cost gold do any real camo in the game or is it just for looks? |

If your looking to make money a tier 8 premium is the way to go. They make a lot more than the other lower tier premiums. 100k games in the tier 8's are not uncommon when you have a good match. I have the Type 62, got 4 games in it so far. It's a pretty decent tank from what I've seen so far. Like the Type 59 it takes a little bit of time to get up to speed but moves pretty well once it does. It gets put in higher tier matches, 7-9 mostly, so be aware, your classified as a scout. Your not going to be running around punching people in the mouth with this thing but you can chase down scouts as well as play the part of harasser to the bigger enemy tanks once they are engaged with your team mates. For $20 it seems like a decent deal at this point. |

Keep the wet ammo rack for sure or you will be getting racked by people (like me) who know where to shoot them to make them go "Pop"  . I have that, a gun laying drive and a rammer on mine. Don't need binos as your not going to be sitting around sniping. This is a run-n-gun tank.
I run a repair kit and have my crew all trained in repair as their first "talent". You will get tracked frequently. |

What does gun laying drive do? I am away from my machine that has game loaded. I will say that a swarm of 4 Type 59's laid to waste all three level IX tanks in game if they work like a swarm of bees. Easily manhandled a Lowe, then a Tiger II then off to the a KV3. Wolf Pack mentality is awesome, but when your by yourself it can be frustrating.

Loving the Arty Party weekend. Did 1k damage to an IS which resulted in a rage fueled game chat. :)
50-100k payouts with the GW Panther, can't go wrong with that. |

Okay...lets see if this will work. I have AT&T. I pestered them every month to no avail. One day i saw a guy working on the box up the road and inquired why i was told that i couldn't get dsl. He looked into and said he could get me some but it wouldn't be fast, i was at the farthest end of the line. Beats the crap out of the satellite i had! |

You know what's frustrating?
When the T-50 drives THROUGH the entire team, and walks out the other side, then pens your only arty (you) in the back corner of the map and kills him. The entire team begins cursing you for not hiding better. The other team calls your team a bunch of idiots for doing absolutely nothing to protect arty. The T-50 that killed you agrees. Your team still says it's your fault. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! |

Basically they explain it as if you shoot the enemy tank and you hit the road wheels/tracks it will say "penetration" even if you don't pen the crew compartment and cause damage. |

In Soviet Russia you will take what you are paying us for and like it!
And at 1.63mb/s thats what i am accustomed to playing with. Sucks when you drive through a building or something to get that surprise attack and your fps drops to about 4 I HATED Dragon Ridge for that reason. I wouldn't know how to act at a faster speed. |

I got my average fps from 6-10 to 20-30 that way. |

There is a huge amount of bitching about zero pen hits. If the players knew it was because they hit a road wheel, that would make a big difference. On a related note, why don't they just make road wheel hits good for 15HP, so we won't get zero dmg penetrations? |

If I hit a road wheel, then I should track the other tank. Penetrating hits should do SOME damage.

Yeah i have changed the majority of the settings which makes me mad because i didn't get this hopped up putter to disable everything It's mostly when i get in sniper mode as im going through heavy brush/buildings.

ETA: Fuck the editor. I have to admit I got a little chuckle out of it myself. Until I saw his last post where he said he's a 72-year-old disabled vet. Now I feel like a shithead. It would be nice if we could get together and let him know that some of us appreciate him. E-95 |
