    I have a set of headphones that have a mic, I wonder if that will work. If not the iphone may just be easier to deal with and buying the app would be cheaper than buying the headset. I run the game on my laptop which does OK but is not excessively powered. I'll try it with the computer first I suppose.

    As for the training room I generally have learned where to shoot various tanks and don't miss a ton, it's more that I'm wanting to be more of a factor in winning games. Generally in a T29 match I'm doing 1000-2000hp damage, of course have some dud games and some great ones. I'm still learning at around 1200 battles and where I'm focusing most of my time now is learning the maps and the hull down positions.

    My T-50 and the Hetz seem like they may be tanks I just play for fun but don't go further up the line. I'm not really working to go up further with the Sherman either, just fun.

    I'm a ways from my computer in the Black Hills. Maybe next week. It was a good round, but I made some silly mistakes and it wasn't as epic as it looks. I only had 8 kills before mopping up 2 AFKs. Finished with near zero HP.

    here are the screen shots. It was a whole lot closer than it looks, if John had not reset with 3 seconds left we would have lost for sure.

    Is this a new change? I thought it was pretty typical for the 'sell' price to be half of the cost to buy, and that waiting until after a sale you could essentially sell it back for what you paid.

    Perhaps those days are done?

    I'm in on teamspeak, not sure what to do once I'm in.

    I'm on now, playing a bit until wife gets home and yells at me.

    as for the TS usage, if you see someone else in there pop into the room they are in and say hi, maybe they will platoon up with you for a few rounds. :freaky

    (and add about a million to that)


    Game started out with shit talk about premium tanks, spending money, etc. Of course the premium tank guys were talking shit about how big and bad they were. Running the tier 5 Chaffee and something told me NOT to suiscout. Got a kill early on. Got to the cap and the last tank alive was a 15000 gold premium tank....a tier 8 LOWE (that if I figure it right, thats a $50 tank). So from the cap and being the only one in the cap, I capped the lowe and laughed and laughed and laughed. AND this was my 2x game.

    Yeah dude, you just got killed by a free to play light scout tank 3 tiers below you?

    yeah, that thing does just a small amount of damage, but it reloads very quickly and is accurate enough to hit the hatch on top of a AT-15 at 300 meters. it is actually quite amazing.

    I had no trouble dispatching one with my T-34. :dunno. The 57mm ZiS is a great gun, I'm finally getting the hang of that tank, much different than the M4 Sherman in how it is played.
