Maaaaaan..i had a terrible run. Lost my first two Tiger matches after getting bombed by P51's about a minute out of spawn. Third match i lost a track due to two fighters picking on me, again less than a minute from kick off, whilst repairing one came back and finished me with rockets. Packed up my toys, threw my lollies out of the pram and called it quits for the night Kameraden, I know I hate the aircraft in these games, lost a few myself during the evening. The Berlin map is really turning into a brawl and I am enjoying it. The Kursk map I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing on, typically roll right from the river and use lot's of Long Range rounds. S!

The Kursk map is a good map, that and Mozdok are my favourites... Same. Eastern Europe runs third for me although i do like Poland as well. If they dumped Karelia, Jungle and Kuban for sim mode i would be extremely happy If they dumped Jungle from all modes, I think the entire WT community would be much happier.

Jungle can be fun in summat fast and squirrely like the M22 though, except for the scroats taking advantage of the low quality thingummy. Which of course spoils any scenario to different degrees.

I was on the jungle map trundling along the beach in my H1 when I took a full on broadside from a Calliope hiding behind a rock. Holy crap! I just managed to turn toward him before I lost my engine and then just sat there taking rocket after rocket, was wondering if he was ever going to run out!! I still had turret power and kept my MG on him so was plastering him with that while my loader recovered consciousness and then reloaded the gun - meanwhile he put two rounds into my front armour without penetrating. In the end, and entirely unfairly I know, my gun came up and I put a shell through his turret and killed him. I went on chat and apologised to him Moral of the story: a) A Tiger can survive a full broadside and two rounds from a Calliope b) However, you will probably need to change your trousers afterwards H

Kameraden,
Brutal night playing German, totally over matched with the Order of Battle. M18 rush and pretty much nothing you can to about it, to fast to track and nothing to deal with the spawn points.
We even had the perfect ambush setup, but again so fast you cannot track them when they rush.
S!

No matter how fast they drive to get to the cap, they have to stay in one place to capture it. The trick is to expect them to race ahead and either try to rush the cap, or set up an ambush for you. If you resist the temptation to push ahead yourself, as Ajay says, they will come to you. So all I do now is get a good flanking position over our own cap and prepare to defend it against rushing M18s. Once that is done, I can move out and help the attack. Of course you need eyes behind, because the swines like getting behind your spawn and approaching the cap from behind. I own the M18 and I know it aint no fun sitting still in it, the only fun is when it is flying along in a flanking move, or rushing to a cap. Most M18 drivers won't be patient enough to creep along carefully in it. H PS, now if I could also say I've lost my fear of the IS3, I'd be a happy man.
