I've had a Marder 2 for ever. It has a camo net and summer camo scheme. The crew are also camo qualified! I have them at 93% towards the next perk, which seems to take ages to accumulate. The Marder used be absolutely deadly but has been nerfed in the patches. I am 58% with it, though. It barely touches a KV now where it used damage them with a well aimed shot.

I played heavies with my old account from the beta days but without premium they are a good way to lose credits! Having said that I do have an elite IS on the go but mixing with the tier tens makes it feel small and weak.

There is a bonus code that gives you 3 days of premium WGNY2014, nice if you want to do some holiday grinding. There is also a new Christmas gift tank, a tier 1 British light that's supposed to be OK, haven't tried it out yet.

By the way, 5X for each 1st win. Goes until Sunday 0300 PST I believe. Heck, racked up 70,000 exp in about 3 hours of play last night. That would normally take me about a good solid week of playing. Since I finally got my WT E100, gonna work on the Foch line next.

I was out of town for 2 of the 3 days of 5X XP. Probably OK thing though, I don't like feeling obligated to play for the bonus XP, back to normal play schedule now. I'm about 1/2 way to unlocking the KV-1S, trying to buy it before the split. I'm only about 3K XP from locking the Vickers 75MM on the Churchill I.

Picked up my WT E100, AMX AC48 and almost got the Aufklaring Panther. The downside of the 5x events is there are a crap load of kiddies, crying about kill stealing and fail team comments. I wonder if they realize it's a pub match and they will be re-born in 15 minutes or less? Gotta love those that feel entitled to a win versus earning one.

Just a heads up, the latest WOT patch really screws up the FOV for ultra-wide screen players (Like Eyefinity and NVidia Surround). They are aware and hopefully will hotfix it soon... I cannot play in Eyefinity anymore without getting sick. frown

LOL, probably is demeaning to those screaming, err typing with all caps, about people stealing their kills in the pub matches. I personally have a blast in the pub matches but many that haven't read the various forums or watched the multitude of Youtube videos about best practices, don't realize it's not about the physical kills that count in your score, but the amount of damage you inflict overall. Anyway, meant that it seems there's much more immaturity during these 5x events than during the normal 2x or 3x days.

Pff, you're weak! I look down on you in disgust!

I mean I don't play world of tanks, but an other game.
And unlike you I could stop anytime...if I wanted to. Honest!!!

I am a full fledged WoT addict. smile My favorite ride is the hellcat... I just love this tank. If it performed more historically accurate vis a vis, agility, speed and traverse it would be even better smile

I've mainly worked the US line with some digressions into the classic german tanks and premiums to train up my crews..

I've formed a casual clan ([718CV] 718th CAV) also, where we (about 15 members all told) just drop in and grind our rides and platoon for fun. No clan wars. They take up too much time and resources..

I've spent waaay too much money on a 'free' game but so far enjoy it immensely.. Remarks about the WoT community are pretty much spot on but there are a few gems in the bunch and I've learned alot of incidental info about tanks on the WoT forums...

I've platooned with some here but my schedule is bad so I haven't kept it up.. My nomme de guerre is Sgt_Sheridan[718CV]

What I really like is that there are mods that allow custom skins. There is some really good stuff out there. Here are some of my favorites...

There are several sites, some in RU. I found some on the Curse website. They are actually fairly easy to use. You just out them in the res_mods folder. A downside is that you are the only one who can see them. But I don't mind. There are also audio mods and some gui stuff too. I have a crew cry "UP!". There are engine mods gun sounds and even crew mods that have been created..
