Title: WOT World of tanks thread
Post by: Konali on June 06, 2013, 20:04
Hello guys and girls:)
Lately i started playing world of tanks which is a quite fun game if i may say so:)
I play it at weekends when i never play CT because then its my family time and to chill with my brother and friends:)


''World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare in the middle of the 20th century. Throw yourself into epic tank battles with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 200 armored vehicles from America, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Soviet Union and China.''


There are several servers and i do play on the EU server, so that means players from the USA cannot play with dudes from the EU server or the SEA server that is for russia i believe, not sure.


Anyway, i found out Sveki and some old CT players do play this game also and it would be fun if i could meet up with some of u ingame some day offcourse:)


So if you do play WOT and you are fromt he EU side of it, please comment and i will check ur stats and perhaps platoon up:)
If you are not from the EU , post anyway , i love to discuss which tank is better etc etc and perhaps there are other CT players that do play on the USA server aswell and you guys could meet up also:)


Well Sveki and i wanted to make a topic like this for some weeks now, hope this is well enough for now:)
You can talk here about WOT or share pics/videos of your replays, i will upload some later:)


My WOT name is: Konali89
Server: EU


Cya on the battlefields:)

Nope, the tanks there are from interwar period (1920's-1939), World War 2 and immediate postwar period (50s and early 60s). :)

I used to play this a lot in late 2010 when it was still beta and you got free gold every day. Was much more fun back then, I don't like it too much now, byt it's a good game.

It is 100% free :) but you could decide to go premium and gain more credits and exp per battle and new options, but im playing free :)
You can invite friends to do platoons and then battle together, or do training matches together:)


No serial /product keys orserials needed, just download the install client and it will guide you from there:) No torrents or cracks either all legit shit bro!! XD

War Thunder is much better imo. I am a beta tester for World of Warplanes, but it just isn't as good as war thunder. The only advantage of wowp is unified account with world of tanks. But wowp is still closed beta, so there is room for adjustments.

Torrent technology is best way to spread updates. Faster sue to high amount of users. Also cheaper for the game devs due them just needing to seed from 1 machine untill theres good supply of seeders from userbase and then devs can stop seeding it. P2P is best for large files like patches. It dosent secretly download it with torrent. It clearly says at begin of the process 'starting torrent client'

Post by: Dr_dog on June 24, 2013, 09:15
Seems pretty correct image to explain SU-85 with the 72mm gun. Aim for the tank, the shot flies over the tank by 2-3m But when i hit with it. It kills.

How to not be spotted: Dont move constantly. Hide behind something, dont shoot random shit for fun.
Kill all spotters at start of the game before they spot your whole team which after hopefully artillery will take care of you.
Title: Re: WOT World of tanks thread

Hiding? I thought tanks go and destroy everything on their way :D
Title: Re: WOT World of tanks thread
Post by: Dr_dog on June 24, 2013, 10:06
Maybe thats why you keep dying? You dont go and rush instantly through the field where whole enemy team can see you.
Malinovka for example: It has a empty field in middle of the map and 2 sides where you and enemy start.(http://i.imgur.com/n15dW1L.jpg)
Awesome drawn picture showing example of how Malinovka games usually goes.
Arrows displaying direction of Movement
Its a certain death if you go past the field.
How enemy spots you: you move alot, you are withn their radio range (visibility), they see you visually fire, some of their team mates, usually some shitty fast tank drives around the enemy starting place to spot most of the tanks so their teammates can see them and shoot precicely and kill.
Also spotting is important if you playing with SPG (artillery) or AT-SPG (tank destroyer) because.
1. You are weak
2. You are slow
3. You're total shit on close quarters (SPG)
4. You dont want to get spotted (SPG)
5. Usually long reloading time

Anybody wants to play?

Dont go out in middle of map without cover. Also when the arrow is green you aim at something means you will penetrate the armor and do damage. If its red, it will just not go through

Post by: Dr_dog on June 24, 2013, 16:03
You should check out that Research and unlock the stuff. You want better engine, tracks, turret.. Basically everything. then you can unlock next tank. You need XP to first unlock it then some money to buy it and mount it. That should help you survive. Compare the cannons, you want alot armor penetration and damage, accuracy and preferably as many shots in minute as possible. I suggest sticking to 1 type of tank after you find good one. Eg if you continue with british mediums (Vickers) and dont later take a soviet medium or lights.
Because later each tier tank will cost like 26k XP for tier 6. You may not want to collect the XP multiple times for similar tank

Its pretty equal actually. You dont even see premium tanks in every game. Its like every game, it takes time to get good at it. If you dont put effort in your game. You going to suck like with every game.
Not only skill decides it but the equipment and tank. Ofc you going to get oneshotted if you happen to be in 2,3 tier higher's scope right at that moment.

Premium account users don't have any direct advantages over non-premium ones while in battle. The only advantage premium account gives you is more XP and credits per battle, so that means you will progress faster. So that means everyone is equal in battles.

I got in the closed beta too, and i must say i was a little dissapointed. Try War Thunder, it beats WoWp in pretty much every aspect.
Title: Re: WOT World of tanks thread
Post by: Konali on June 25, 2013, 12:16
To my opinion playing in the little tiers usually means chaos, and shots flying around everywhere.
When you reach tier 3/4/5 and higher thats where the fun begins and you can really make a difference.
Simplly because in the lower tiers to my opinion, you can be super good one game and the next you will sucks badly.
tier 4 and higher pretty much involves more tactics and strategy, tier 1-3 is more rushing around the map and shooting at everything that moves:)


So find a tank you really like to play with, stay with that tech tree, and upgrade your tanks:)

Basic info and tactics


Quote

LIGHT TANKS


Light tanks are scouts providing the eyes and ears of the team. Use your superior maneuverability to spot the enemy, radio to your team and duck back quickly under cover before your opponents even know what happened.


Tips:
- Always keep moving! Your armor is weak, but you're meant to be a hard target to hit.
- Be patient. Just because you're fast doesn't mean you're untouchable. Sometimes it's best to wait for your heavier armored teammates to clear out enemies before you make your move.



MEDIUM TANKS


Medium tanks are incredibly varied in their armor, speed and firepower. Tailor your strategy to individual tank models and you'll find yourself taking on different roles from scouting and support to front line attacks.


Tips:
- Two is always better than one. Try pairing up with another medium tank to take on a heavy tank and gain double the effectiveness.
- Know your role. As a medium tank you'll find yourself taking on many different tasks in each individual battle. To simplify things, chat with your teammates to define strategy before the battle begins.





HEAVY TANKS


Heavily armored and loaded with powerful guns, as a heavy tank you are a force to be reckoned with.


Tips:
- You may be big, but you have your weaknesses too. Do your best to not expose your weak spots (back and sides) when heading into battle.
- Don't be afraid to be the second wave. Being heavily armored means you're not the speediest tank on the map. Staying back allows you to eliminate fast and sometimes reckless opponents while protecting your base and friendly SPGs





TANK DESTROYERS


These well equipped machines are meant for taking out enemy armor from long distances whilst remaining completely unseen. Find a good hiding spot, switch to sniper mode and eliminate easy targets from across the map.


Tips:
- Hit and run. Find good cover so that your tank destroyer will stay hidden until you are ready to attack. After you shoot be sure to find a new hiding place immediately.
- Keep your eyes on the target! Your strong front armor will keep you protected in a heavy firefight if you stay facing forwards.





SELF-PROPELLED GUNS


SPGs have thin armor but immense firepower. With the ability to hit targets anywhere on the map from nearly any location, even under cover, SPGs can turn the tide of a battle in the blink of an eye.


Tips:
- To cause the most damage, coordinate with scouting teammates to hit hard to reach enemies previously hidden on the map.
- Location, location, location. Ideal placement of your SPG is within cover, but without obstruction so you can see everything on the map without being spotted by enemies. You have weak armor, so stay within friendly territory.

World of tanks is a good game.
There is a best tank out there for everyone!
Mine is and seems to always be the T-26, A tiny tank but seems the best for me.

This is a screenshot of what I can do in a T-26

Hmm.. Seems after patch 8.6 no one likes having SPG on their team.. Past couple games right at the start, people are saying "Oh great a SPG..." Sure.. As a SPG user, I don't get out there in the middle of the battlefield next to you, but when you are taking fire and hiding behind a building or can't quite hit the target cause you are at a bad angle, you will be happy to have me on the team.. :P

On another note.. Why am I being matched up with tier 3 tanks when I am using tier 2 and some times tier 1 tanks? :/

Eh.. I'm starting to slowly drift away from it.. There just does not seem to be strategy.. Seeing as you can't see any enemys until they are within your field of range.. and even when they are, there is the factor of camo and bush that counter your effective range.. I wish tanks would pop up on your map whenever they shot at least. I understand why they made the spotting system like this, to counter hacks and stuff.. But at the same time, it impacts the player interest.. On a second note: Wargaming has stated several times they have a playerbase of 60 million players (might be 60 million registered) Yet the most I ever see online is 25k? Is the game just not popular in north america? (us east)

And, why must all the tier 2 tanks have horrendous field of range >_< I don't have enough experience or money to upgrade anymore...

I got it today, played some battles, not bad but gets boring, you cant see where are the tanks, they can see you and kill in 2 shots but you cant, it gets annoying. Even if you see them, you cant kill they as fast as they do with you. It also gets boring because everyone seems to do whatever they want without an strategy. And the difference in the sizes of  the tanks makes it not look so real :/
I will stick to Battlefield 3, where i can see the tanks shotting at me from really far distances and people actually seems to be stickied to a common objective. :D

Because some of their tank saw you from distance. whole team then sees you.
The whole reason behind of tanks being hidden when not spotted is that the unfair-fire (artillery) cant just own every game and blow up everything while they are still at their bases. Your team needs a spotter that will do suicide run around the map to enemy side and spot most of the tanks so others can shoot them.
Title: Re: WOT World of tanks thread
Post by: Ethan on June 28, 2013, 14:30
one problem I see is that the tank gets seen but then it goes away as if you spot it but dont kill it... if an enemy tank gets spotted (by anyone) I think it should stay exposed to everyone so we all have a same chance to destroy it..  and rainbow, you should join our calvary we have...

This, The T-50 and T-50-2 are the BEST scouts in the game right now. I have the t-50, it does I think 60 or 65 km/h up hills and everything, I just run circles and zig zags around the opponents heavy tanks :P

SPG's became pretty harmless after the 8.6 update, because they miss 80% of the time, and their rates of fire have been decreased for a half in most cases. So now, i'm not sure wheter i will be happy to have an SPG on the team, since what usually happens is that you see a HE shell fall next to the enemy right before he pierces you. :)


About matchmaking, tier 2 is supposed to meet tier 3 tanks, just like tier 3 is supposed to meet tiers 4 and 5. However, tier 1 will never meet tier 3 tanks unless you are in a platoon with a tier 2 or higher tank.

You can, you just gotta know how. :)
You probably couldn't see them because they were hidden in the bushes, and in that case you are pretty much dead if you go too far. What you need to do is move carefully with your teammates, never alone, and try to detect them, while being ready to return fire and get to cover.


That is something you can't know after a battle or two, it needs time. After couple of dozen battles, you will start to know some things about the game, like how far can you go ahead without getting detected on certain maps, the best sniping positions, flank routes, weak spots on certain tanks, angling your armor so you can bounce enemy shots etc. etc.


If you gave the game a real chance, you would start understanding it better and therefore liking it more. :)

Don't discard the ELC AMX. It might not have a traversable turret, but it's really fast and has a fearsome 90mm gun which can bring pain to even tier 9 tanks.


Also, it's more versatile than the T-50 scouts, since you can snipe effectively with in tier 7, and sometimes tier 8 games.

The MS-1 is one of the best tanks for begginers, it's pretty easy to get used to. It has a 45mm gun that is used by tier 2 and even tier 3 tanks, so you can guess what it is capable of doing in tier 1.


Leichttraktor (Loltraktor :P ) is the second tank i'd recommend you, since it's overall good and has a decent selection of guns. You should try them all to see which one suits you best.

How I know? Platoon with Rainbow + Rainbow using SPG = Matches with Tier 3s and 4s while I'm Tier 1. Took on a HerpV-1 all by my self.  :happy:

I had a pretty funny match yesterday, I was using the T18 with the derp gun on it on province.. for over half the match I pretty well did nothing but sit at spawn at take pot shots across the map into known bushes for hiding.. well about half way through the match, 4 of us were left, two SPGs a medium and me. Had a medium comming up the hill and I was waiting for it just as I suddenly took fire from an (at the time unspotted AT-1) So after losing half my hp in one hit, I panic and go full charge over the peak of the hill and down at the medium, he panics and fires and misses and I promptly fire with the widest accuracy circle possible while moving and one shot him (promptly after I do so, he calls me a "op piece of sh..."). But I did not stop there, I kept charging across the field and found me a little AT-1 which I charged at, again he fired and missed, I shot, again with no accuracy and scored a crit on him bring'n his health down to about 2% where one of our SPGs than dealt the death blow. So now, 4v4. I turn my attention towards the shots that are bouncing off my super armor plates and charge straight at them, to my surprise, I was taking three different tanks on and bouncing all of their shots. I shot, took out a light tank and than was taken out by a SPG. We lost the game, but everyone was like "holy shit, way to go pinky" xD

The only tank i know that can reliably one shot the Hellcat is KV-2. KV-1S and IS can't one shot it with their 122mm D 25T guns (at least not with AP shells), and i don't think even SU-100Y can either with its 130mm.


But anyway, it compensates for the 13mm hull armor with amazing speed of 72 kph.

It takes about a few minutes of work to research from tier 1 to tier 10. You just go to the next tank and research modules leading to the next tank, then the tank itself and so on. And about selling limit, you can go around it by buying slots.

or you can bypass it buy just not buying tanks right?? or do you have to buy the tank in order to get the other tiers??


and I havent sold a tank in two days but yet it says "I cant sell anymore today"  most likely a bug unless calvin sold a couple without me knowing

anyone else noticed on WOT this.
While I was playing today I'm being shot from someone that does not appear on my radar or anything! after a few seconds my camo seems to not work and they all can still see me.
I have found this quiet annoying many times. The enemy can see you but you cannot see them. But when you fire your cannon you loose alot of camo ability makes it much easier to spot, If i shoot everyone knows where i am. But if they shoot. I cant see them for sh*t. Gah annoying! :\

I got a new favorite toy.. the Panzer 2 :D It has decent speed (40km) And the traverse and gun traverse speed are good too. The only downside is that it can only use auto cannons, So long distance engagements are not advised. But the top gun on it will rip through any other tier 2 tank except the obvious frontal armor of the T18. One good full blast from your gun into an enemy will destroy if not bring them to critical state. with a 131 Rate of fire you can unload it super fast and the reload time is a mere 3 seconds so Peek-a-boo strategy works perfect.

Panzer 2 is awesome, but not nearly as awesome as Panzer 1 C. :D Panzer 2 G is not bad either with its 30mm autocannon (penetration is around 90mm) but has a very long reload time and is rather sluggish.

You got spotted by something. And then the unfair fire came and shot at you.
Btw you can see who shot at you when you get hit at the bottom of the screen.

The autocannons are useless on higher tiers... Not enough firepower

You can only see who shot you when the shell damages or destroys modules/kills crew members. Otherwise, you just see the direction from which the shell came.

You probably mean 8.7 test server, as 7.2 goes back a year or two perhaps XD


No, they will keep it as it is, regions only.
Kinda sucks, but also is good or the ping would really suck XD.

Bought the KV-1S today, man i advice that tank to anyone. I used ~30k free xp ihad saved up to upgrade everything in te beginning except the engine, so the first battle i did in it, was already partial fully upgraded :D Man this thing is a beast:)

KV-1S hits hard, but its armor is actually lighter than that of regular KV-1. KV-1S is basically a high speed version of the KV, because crews complained about its slugishness.


On the other hand, S has a bit more HP but that's neglible.

Kv-1 and Kv-1s are easy to take out, especially with the StuG, that thing rips through any armor it faces. Most games, I never get spotted because the StuG has one of the best camo ratings in the game, plus camo net and camo paint and than my camo crew skill is almost maxed out. I'm invisible to targets at very close ranges even when firing from behind bushes. I had a game earlier on severgosk or whatever that winter map is called, and a Kv-1s was sitting in our cap and I was sitting inside the bushes at the northwest corner of the base and firing at the kv-1s head on about 70 meters or so from him and he was not able to detect me and I destroyed him with ease :D The German TD line is my favorite up to the StuG.. After that you get the POS Jagpanzer iv... Think of it this way, it's a bigger profile with a bit more armor than the StuG but shares the same top gun that the StuG does but the catch is, it faces up to tier 8 tanks.. While you can pen the same tier and most tier 7 tanks okay, the tier 8s, especially the heavies are a serious pain in the butt to try to damage. The Jagdpanzer is not fast enough to really get to a flanking position fast enough most times and you end up facing the likes of an IS head on just bouncing shots after shots off of it's armor. Best I can do, is just track the dang thing and run for the hills hoping my team takes care of it before it does me. :P Not sure about the tier 7 German TD though.. I sold my Jagdpanzer after a few games of being destroyed in one shot while not able to deal out any potential damage that made it worth keeping it.

Trust me, Jagdpanther is worth every single frustrating tier 8 battle with Jagdpanzer 4.


As for grinding the Jagdpz 4, mount short 88mm and play close support in all games beyond tier 6. In tier 6 it is actually a pretty capable TD despite its relatively low penetration (~130mm with the 88mm gun).

Yeah the slow moving barn. A tier 6 heavy that has horrid armor that is flat pretty well everywhere. It's more of a troll tank to absorb damage for teammates with it's massive HP pool. I love when people platoon these things cause I have a hay day in my TDs, Last platoon of these I met, I ended that game with 6 kills (two togs), 6k damage, love my SU-100.

Slow moving pool of HP armed with a 17 pounder, which is a tier 7 gun. That's what TOG is. I don't like it myself, but it can be dagerous if played correctly.

They are indeed working on roaming between server regions. This video is a livestream, but in this lifestream some high wargamming officials showed that they could join the EU server with thei rNorth American accouns and Russian ones.

So what is that "test server" Do you download it to your own server and then run a local test server or what?

No, the test server is pretty much like the regular WOT, except that you play with players of all regions. You just download the installer, which then downloads the test server. Nothing else you need to do.

1/3 Q&A

- Sheridan doesn't fit World of Tanks, because it could fire the Shillelagh missile and "without missiles, this tank would be illogical"
- new "split" Panzer IV's and StuG (tier 3,4,5) will be available for all modes, not just historical battles
- effects of ammo rack "cook-off" (SS: burning through the hatches from inside) are planned
- problems with LT class now? "Don't play light tanks"
- it's not yet sure whether in historical battles, it will be sufficient to have historical modules unlocked, or you will have to buy them as well, both options were discussed
- dynamic characteristics of tanks in garage will not come soon
- for now there is no info on "super-Tortoise" with turret from Bovington archives (SS: in relation to the British turretted TD branch)

2/3 Q&A

- there was a video on Russian server, where players can apparently send their dumb ideas and developers answer them. Some player proposed to implement equipment (or consumable? didn't notice) that would create a "holo-tank" on the spot where the original tank was ("mock-up tank"). Apparently, this idea won't be implemented...

3/3 Q&A

- more detailed voiceover system regarding hits (helping players to figure out what happened) will be introduced relatively soon
- it's not yet 100 percent decided that the national battles (confrontation mode) will be removed
- there are no plans to introduce new functions (SS: to buff) premium account
- there are no plans to change the Ruinberg map
- no special development is running regarding the loss of synchronisation between server and client, Storm states these issues are not caused by Wargaming, but by ISP's
- for now, the exact list of tanks for various historical battles won't be disclosed
- no exact details for "clan bases" will be disclosed yet
- Storm doesn't know exactly, when (if) the arty aim circle gets fixed
- in 8.11, module crit chance did not change
- no plans to buff IS-6 penetration
