Thanks for posting that. Proves there's some serious bugs in the match making system as I've seen tanks from tiers far outside the scope of the chart's potential range being put in against each other.

I doubt they'll fix the balance any time soon, it's just too much of a money maker to mess with.

Cheers

A friend posted about E3 on their Facebook page and they've got Tanks outside promoting WoT.

Not only that, they have announced

Anybody here part of a team or I guess the term is "clan"?

I'm tired of being a run and gun solo son.

I'm fairly low maintenance and having been a mech infantry platoon leader, served in a Mech Infantry Division (though as an SF officer ;-).....only on the staff.....the Army did teach me a thing or two about combined arms and armor tactics (22 years active duty and then retirement a few years ago)

I'd like to apply the concept of "mutual support" and "bounding over watch"...etc......

Can't do this solo

Suggestions?

I decided to join up and get in the fun last night but I have an 'issue'.
As soon as the round starts all the tanks 'dissappear' and all I can see is their shadow.
During the count-down to the start of the round I can see them no problem.
This isn't a feature surely?

You got something wrong there Chucky,

I've not had any technical issues save a very rare warp phenomena, normally as I was going to lay my gun on someone's flank. Upon start you should see everyone on your side and be able to scan (by mouse look) around at everyone, while your vehicle remains frozen in place waiting for the 30 second countdown to complete.

I have had graphic similar issues Chucky - I think a DirectX and driver update fixed me.

Good Luck.

Thanks guys,I will try a few fixes tonight.

I must say I felt very inadequate put-putting around in my 'Leichttractor'

Those little Loltractors are fun, though!

I've brute forced my way through several tech trees in order to escape the low end entry crawlers (tier 1) --- they are just tooooo sloooww for real armored warfare.

That said, I've spent a good deal of money buying gold for premium access so that I could get 50% experience bonuses for all my hours spent so far. I don't profess to know "they system" well, there are FAQ's in terms of researching and choosing your tree branches wisely ...

Me....I'm just racing down several branches simultaneously and have not escaped the light category of AFV in any class yet excepting Russian TD's (I would estimate I have played about 24 hours so far)......you will find that every time you jump a vehicle in terms of an upgrade that it really is like taking a step backwards --- as the stock vehicle in the next class is always underpowered, under-gunned, etc, etc....compared to the heavily modded and improved tier you just left behind in order to get your new ride.

Last night when I was on there was something like 7,000 users on in North America....the developers have apparently mimicked the MMOG economies in terms of upgrade paths for cash......and it seems to be working....I expect if they plow profits back into this game that it will get better and better with more maps and perhaps vehicle trees absent at the moment
