I barely play my t49 anymore and I looooooved that tank. In fact I have a 4 skill crew in it. I should go for the marks on that tank. How hard could it be?  Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've got one mark on the Hellcat and one on the T49. Never noticed them until a couple weeks ago. I'm close to having the second on my T49 I don't know how hard it would be. I'm a little over half way through my second crew skill on it. It is the perfect tank for its tier tough. You rarely see sevens and can pen all the 6's if you aim right |

Just got my KV1 crew to their second skill. Question, though, since this is the first crew I've gotten this far.
 Am I GTG switching him to 6th sense right now, or do I need to wait a couple of games so the point loss doesn't knock him down past 100% 1st skill? |

Loader skill training is loaded with perks, but very light on skills. I can retrain for one of the perks and restart repairs, but which perk? I'm thinking safe stowage, although I don't get racked in the KV1 much. OTH, none of the other choices look particularly useful at all. Intuition, Adrenaline rush, firefighting, and camo. None of them look too awful useful in a KV1 derpmobile. ETA: Thanks for the advice. Looks like retraining with credits will drop the 2 I need to retrain to 99%. Guess I need to wait a few more games. |

To make yourself very survivable, throw on the trifecta. Loader: Safe Stowage. Driver: Preventative Maintenance. Commander: 6th Sense. Well, crap. I held off assigning a second skill for the loader and the commander for those perks, but I already assigned the driver repairs.

I set up the initial training with this tank before I really knew what I was doing, so the driver is now at 100% clutch braking and 34% repairs. (subsequent heavies, I trained all repairs for first skill) So, the way it's currently set up, without dropping gold to retrain: Commander: 100% mentor to be switched to Sixth Sense as soon as I can switch without dropping below 100%. 2nd skill, I'm thinking Recon or repairs. Gunner: 100% Snap Shot. 34% Repairs. Driver: 100% Clutch Braking. 32% Repairs. I think I could switch Clutch Braking to PM when I swap the Commander's and Loader's skills, so long as I leave Repairs as 2nd, right? Not sure how effective clutch braking is on the KV1, since the tank and I kind of learned the game together. Radio Operator: 100% Repairs. 32% Situational Awareness. Loader: 100% Repairs.

Tomib, you should really follow the advice given. Those three perks aren't called the holy trinity of crew skills for nothing. One keeps your head down when you need it to the other one keeps your gun in the fight with normal DPM and the other one significantly reduces your chances of burning and fire will take out other modules if you aren't fast enough on a non prem Extinguisher. Repair is great but its one of the perks that takes effect immediately. A lot of people keep that perk in continual rotation and the hard perks get retrained to. If you run a large repair kit it also decreases your repair time so take that into account as well.

That one really is a toss up, but since you're talking about a kv1, which is fire prone from sideshots, well... Kind of one of those half dozen of one, six of another. Your loader really should have safe stowage at the earliest possible point. Now I'm not saying train that, as that is absurd. But first chance you get, swap repair or whatever for safe stowage. Getting your rack busted is just about as bad as getting tracked in the open. You're screwed in a big way. Sixth sense is mandatory on all tanks. Mentor is only kind of useful, but your guys don't really gain that much XP faster. It was one or two battles between when your guys got their first skill and the commander did too, right? BIA should be a third or fourth skill. It doesn't really add that much, and you lose out on hugely useful skills you'd have had otherwise. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tomib, you should really follow the advice given. Those three perks aren't called the holy trinity of crew skills for nothing. One keeps your head down when you need it to the other one keeps your gun in the fight with normal DPM and the other one significantly reduces your chances of burning and fire will take out other modules if you aren't fast enough on a non prem Extinguisher. Repair is great but its one of the perks that takes effect immediately. A lot of people keep that perk in continual rotation and the hard perks get retrained to. If you run a large repair kit it also decreases your repair time so take that into account as well. Trying. Soon as I can switch commander from mentor without dropping first skill below 100%, he gets sixth sense. That's a given. Soon as I can switch loader from repairs to safe stowage, that's a given. I guess, at this point, as soon as I can switch the driver, he'll get PM. What thinks the hive on my 2nd skill choices? The questions are all because I don't have the crew retraining experience a lot of you guys have, with your dozens of five skill haxorz crews. To this date, this is the very first crew I've got who have gotten to 100% in their first skill. Have several others who are getting close, but this will be the first to get the treatment, and I want to make sure I'm doing it right, since doing it over sets me back several hard won steps. |

BIA? Silly. Repair in that tank? Again, unless I am in a tier 3 match, silly. I should have recon on my commander instead for even more view range. The tank turns slow as all get out, that's why I have clutch braking on. Are you going to be shooting on the move a lot? Then you might want smooth ride. Is the line you're in suseptable to being bogged down off road? Off road driving might be a better choice. Repair is never a bad option for heavy tank lines, ever. A lot of it is dependent on your play style. There are few hard and fast rules to skills. |

Well, I'm setting an ultimatum after yet another fucking night of 30-ish% win rate. If things don't improve by the weekend (i.e. I don't finish a night > 50%), I'm uninstalling, and taking a break from the game. Yes, I've half heartedly threatened before, but usually I have a good night, or play strongholds with you guys and that peps me up a bit. I have a huge amount of fun playing strongholds, but I guess I'm not sure I'm ready to transition into playing that exclusively.
Lance...I know we had a chat in game. I'm sure my Debby downer bitching is bringing all of you guys down. And if that is the case, it is even more reason for a break. I guess I'm just wired funny, but I FUCKING HATE LOSING!!! There really is no consolation for me that I'm doing my part (or more) and doing more damage per game, more kills per game, and have been running at a WN8 1.5 times my cumulative WN8, only to be rewarded with a win rate that is well below server average. Seriously, I could just load into battle, go back to the garage and do that over and over and over and have a better fucking win rate right now. So...sorry for being a whiney little bitch guys. Every man has his breaking point and I guess I'm bumping up against mine. I just don't think I can embrace the suck and find enjoyment in the game losing this often. |

taken from FTR
in 0.9.3, Object 430 will apparently be changed thus (all values take in account 100 percent crew): - DPM buffed from 2901 to 3128 - reload time buffed from 6,616 to 6,137s - accuracy on the move buffed (when the vehicle is moving and turning turret, by cca 30 percent) - accuracy of the gun nerfed from 0,336 to 0,364 The acc. nerf from .33 to .36 is not significant...because they're buffing the dispersion by 30% on the move AND giving it a ROF buff. I think WG's squaring this particular tank up to be a pure brawler. |

I see your M46 and raise you the E50. This thing feels like cheating sometimes. Although my win rate is still sub-50% in this thing (thank you long grind with a shitty gun), its creeping back up now that I have the 10,5. Absolutely phenomenal gun.

Low tier WoT sucks. I tried to play tier 2 today to get the last few kills I needed for master tanker as I haven't played low tier in over a year or more. First match we got 8 people on a team. Next match we got 9. Two were gold spammers on different teams. You guessed it, it came down to those 2 morons being AFK and having to sit there and wait 15 minutes if you wanted to play the same tank again. I guess the last 2 actual players killed themself or one drove off a cliff or whatever.Next match I got 2 gold spammers on my team of 9.

What a morning--after busting my ass trying to learn how to play better, following all the advice to get my crews trained properly, STOPPING the rapid advance and eliting all my tanks--I go 1/10. WN is 1!! Apparently I should have quit MUCH sooner, because as soon as the first shot flew, I went 999 red. I figured after a game or two, it would stop--I bagged it after my KV1S flew THROUGH the brick wall on the hill on Himmelsdorf and floated like a brick to its doom below....I was getting my damage all wrapped up in 9-15 battles per day--at this rate I wont get it today...
ON a different note--any truth to the rumor they are going to nerf the FV304? |

That 430's got a bouncy as hell turret. I consider it to be a slightly more heavily armored T62A. Not as fast, harder hitting gun, and an autobounce turret from the front. |

Better get the E50M quick, rumor has it that the E50M (largely a WG creation of the E50 hull with a mid/rear mounted transmission) will be merged with the E50 @ Tier X. The E50M will be a hull option for tankers that don't want to be set on fire every 20 seconds. The replacement Tier IX will be a Panther with a gas turbine engine. Given that info...I'd suspect the TP will play nothing like the E50. Likely to be much softer, but will have some sort of insane 88mm cannon. LINK |

The E50 and the M46 are very similar playing tanks. The E50 has better armor, the M46 has massive depression. But the same gun. I'll take massive depression over better armor. |
