    IMHO they are pretty painful till you get to 8, good depression but you are not going to bounce a single thing....or at least I don't.

    Started watching Forged in Fire on Netflix and recognized one of the contestants by his voice from WoT. Then they said his name was Chris. Then I said “Heyyyy! That’s fricken Smithy! I know that dude!” My wife just looked at me like an idiot and didn’t believe me, ha. Congrats on the making Netflix, Smithy!

    Let me spoil it for you,

    The look on the judges faces when he slaughtered an ox with one swift blow was priceless. The after show BBQ was epic.

    At least that's how I remember it.

    The US army has developed a supergun that has fired an artillery shell over a distance of 70km, hitting a target “on the nose”.

    Believed to be the longest precision-guided cannon shot in history

    Times


    Merry Christmas...

    80% faster than a TOG, or 250% slower than anything else in the game.

    Quick firing but anemic main gun.
    Reminds me of the UE57, for which I've always had a soft spot.


    I paid money for the Matilda Black Prince.
    Some confusion with the name... not the Black Prince I was expecting.

    For the ELC 90, which I just bought, which would be the first driver skill after BIA and camo: clutch braking or off road driving? It seems that with the low power of the engine off road driving would make sense although for reasons unclear to me I usually go clutch braking first!

    Smooth ride (the gun needs all the help it can get) or off road driving.
    Be sure to run with fuel instead of a fire extinguisher. Even then it's a pig to get up to speed.

    Hadn't considered fuel. Makes sense! I am spotting the first part of game, generally passive spotting and it is real effective. Not shooting until later in game or when I am retreating. Make sense?

    Makes perfect sense. It's one of the few scouts that can be effective at passive spotting anymore IMO.
