Going to have to buy some garage slots... sigh 26 isnt enough. Jumbo, Easy 8 and ARL 44 heading for the garage.
I think we're all in the same boat. I haven't ever seen anyone on the FYYFF teamspeak server who wasn't in that first room, but then I don't get to play many evenings. To be honest, in my other clan we all pile in to one channel as well, and even when separate platoons get put into different battles (or even the same battles, but against each other) we all pretty much stay in the same chat channel and just speak a little more sparingly. I'm not saying it's ideal for operations, but just that it's done. Now in Eve Online we'd separate up the channels, but that was a whole different ballgame. And I want to thank those of you who post the news as to the upcoming deals here in this thread. It's really the only time I know about them anymore since I think my mods just skip the opening WoT screen that informs about deals. --- I was able to hit 58% again today. Here's hoping that I can keep moving in that direction.
I have not got to play very much at all the past few....well this entire week. Going to do some tank killing tonight till I can't hold my eyes open, nothing to do tomorrow, and it is only going to be 100+ outside again. Darn you wargaming....now you are going to get me to spend more money....I want the vanentine and matilda...drat....so there is that and then the extra garage spots...one for the british tank and the other for the E2...glad I did not buy it sooner. Had it researched for about a week or so now.....and I just hit 2 mil in the bank. As to the being pinned, I will usually exit out after a small fight....when the wrighting is on the wall I will leave. The seemed to have classed the Pz III into some kind of scout class or something....I am ALWAYS in with some huge stuff. I just don't scout well. Not sure what I am going to do but I really don't want to sell the tank....I liked it, pretty thick front armor, and pretty quick....long 50 does not have much a chance even against things like a B1....let alonw the JS-3's and such I have been fighting lately....my tactic now is to hang with the T50's Chaffee and such and just give them support...I am almost as fast. I don't make much money as I don't get the spotting credit, but if there are 3 or so of us sticking together we can do some real damage to the rear areas (arty) I also may spend the gold on that tier III French TD. I am looking for something other then the marder (I love german stuff but just want a change)....and it seems to have a darn good gun on it. The other thing is I am 100% sold on the rammer....that thing has saved me in a slug fest more then one time. The net, binocs, crew vent...I am just not so sure on. I am not sure if I am going to keep the Panther and the IV, they do the same job...but I am thinking about the (I think) coated optics on one or both of those tanks....I want them to be long range killers. Last thing is I am only 30k exp away from the jdgpanther TD. Can't wait for that bad boy....I know the IV is going away for that one....plus side is the crew should be gods by then
IMHO, binocs are a better choice for sniper tanks. I run coated optics on my E8, but binocs on the rest because I'm usually either sniping or in so close that the extra view range doesn't matter. I wish they would have put equipment on half price this weekend....
I generally don't talk much on TS. Usuallly the missus is in the same room harrasing me for talking to the PC I apologize if anyone can hear her banter. I was going to pitch the RAM, just don't like that tank. The Valentines a tier 3isn't it? I don't have a lower tier tank anymore. I have the rammer on everything. Even the Churchill's 6 pdr. It can't penetrate anything but other tanks back off when you keep slinging a round at em every 2 seconds. I have a couple camo nets and throw them on a tank when I go into battle, just in case I end up camping and sniping. I bought one set of binocs that I swap around too. I have the gun laying drive on the arty. For arty it really makes a difference in aim speed. If you are in your M26 and come across 2 opposing obj. 704's, a E75, and a 4502p it's ok to back off and go the other way.
I was platooned up with RecoilNorth and Que Pasa last night and they were able to enter a new TS channel. When I tried to follow I got the insufficient priveleges ding.
I was hoping for 1/2 off Equipment this weekend also, but No Joy. 50% more Creds will be nice though ( M4, Easy 8, Jumbo, Egg & ARL 44 in the garage )
Im in the same boat most of the time, Wifes always asking me who im talking to or what i said or why im cussing at the screen

I don't play arty, but I forgot about that....I have it on my Pz III and it amazes everyone the stuff I can hit with the peddle to the metal. I am looking forward to this weekend.
I hate to say it, but I've played enough that I now believe there is some type of built-in at-speed aiming cheat. Far too often in my 13 75, and other tanks, I'll hit something that really isn't close-by while not really thinking I had the aim down at all. Similarly, take a look at that video I posted pages back about my friend in a GW Panther at speed, angling, and shooting in the general direction of a mid-distance arty... he smacked it dead. I'll take credit for some personal skills, but the aiming while traveling near whatever-tank's top speed is something I am not going to claim is my doing. I'm serious when I say I believe there is some type of magnetism-toward-given-object that is in the reticule when at speed. I think the reality is that most of us would miss more than we do.
Shoot I wish it worked when I was not moving....the stuff I miss standing still can really tick you off sometimes. Half the time I think the game spites just me to keep me away from that sniper award But really I can't wait to get cranking tonight after I get home....gotta swing by the DMV that will most likely put me in the right mood to start shooting things
In general, the shell will land on your cursor about 40% of the time, regardless of how fast you are going. Because math. When you are crossing a field on a non-french tank and you spot targets, take a moment and think about how long it will be before you get to aim a shot. If that time interval is longer than reload time, fire on the move.
I'm back. I PM'd a couple people looking for the fix .rar file, I have it, will email if you send me your addy. Time to fire up the E8, apparently.
If you cant switch channels in TS, it's because i havent switched you off of the guest permission yet. I may have given Smerf the ability to do so, but i don't remember. Ill try to get everyone switched when i get back on Sunday.
