World of Tanks

Another that so many of us use:

Jimbo's Reticle mod optimized for 8.4

This either has some things turned on that I did not have, or the modder added the barrel and tank pointers to the map.

It works nicely.

http://www.odem-mortis.net/index.php?site=files&file=83

got a trojan warning from AVG upon installing this.

Jimbos Crosshair mod is also on Curse. http://www.curse.com/wot-mods/worldoftanks

So they added my gold, and apparently that flagged it so I could take some tutorial for some more gold.

Any other hints for starting out? So far I seem to be able to shoot things poorly a few times and then they blow me up. I also couldn't tell, once I'm blown up, am I supposed to exit to garage? Or wait till the end of the round?


And the no foliage thing explains a lot. I was watching people turn and blast tanks hiding in bushes that I couldn't see at all. And I got blasted that way too

Of coarse, you can always install it the old way.

Thanks for the advice. I can't wait!

Sadly, no TS setting up for me yet today. I still don't have a headset because I am a cheap bastard. Guess what bike I ride! Got a couple more thrift shops in town to check before I give up trying to set up TS today, but we will see. See some of you on the Battlefield soon!

I guess I shoudl search this thread, but is there a clan etc for ADV? and TS? Probably be out riding this evening, but who knows.

I'll bet it ain't orange.

I used a really cheap boom mic for a while. As long as you use push to talk, you should be fine. A lot of people have them laying around since many PC came with them back in the day. Ask around.

We have a clan and a TS server....post your game name and one of us will send you the info you need and a clan invite.

Yes.

What's your WoT name? we can send you an invite, or you can send a request to join.
I'll PM you the TS info.

Not the first time I've put up this link... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FY7LBQ/

...and a good thing too.
This is the one I'm using now and I like it.

in game name is hscRUGBY
I apparently am getting better, I actually managed to hit someone and do damage this round. :)

But is that the optimized one that has the things it gave me from that site?
Or is it the old one?

Interesting.

All it did was offer to allow me to save a file - it didn't take me anywhere that would have installed a trojan.

Of course Training Rooms are required to learn about new map changes.

The three we saw changes with were Steppes, Cliff, and Live Oaks. I didn't take SS's of Live Oaks, but there is now a path through the center lake if you drive carefully, and there are more islands to sit on, and possibly a few to get to, in other water areas.

Other changes you will want to be aware of:

Cliff:





Steppes









We checked out a few more maps, but only saw minor changes. We did not check them all out, and probably missed some changes.

I ride a KLR with a milk crate on the back. That's how cheap I am. Plus, I wanted to get TS up and running today.

I was looking at one of these two options if I couldn't find one thrift or University surplus.

I noticed it's no longer possible to climb the cliffs in the top right corner of the Steppes map.

Clan invite sent

It's a new version, but I haven't looked at it. Likely pulled from the same place you got yours.
I thought I'd mention that it was updated on Curse since a lot of people one stop shop there.

Be warned, gentlemen......it's new patch Terribad season. This is the lineup for a match I was just in. Check out those efficiencies.
