World of Tanks
 

anyone else playing this? I got a bonus code for it when I bought my GTX 770 and I've gotten hooked. In-game name is "Mobiius". If anyone else is into this, let's platoon. I have up to Tier6 tanks to run; I can run a Tier7 if necessary, just have to buy it.

I have loaded the XVM mod, pretty cool, I like it. And I now understand why so many players want to hunt tanks instead of doing whatever it takes to win the mission (read: cap when you can cap) - because they're chasing XVM stats.

Yeah i play with my buddies. Have been playing it since beta. Got 5-6 tier 10s. I mainly play tier 10s though.

Tripzter.

Ok when I get my Leopard we're golden. I've only been playing since late July.

lol yeah i got like 12k battles or something in.

Nice one. I wish I had known about enabling replays when I got the last stand medal with a Marder III. 7 kills, Top Gun, Sniper, Ace Tanker, Sharpshooter, Master gunner, that last stand medal I can't remember the name of, base defender, and maybe some others.

Yeah enable replays man, youll get lots of fun games.

Personally i find the game a lot more fun platooning though. At this point i dont even bother playing it on my own. Teams are very bad.

So war thunder is coming out with a tanks patch soon...

<p>necro bump. been playing the shit out of this exclusively for the last year, i got hooked.&nbsp;</p><p>user name: hi_im_sean</p><p>i like the super mobile paper thin TDs and lights:&nbsp;m8a1, elc amx, hellcat. im on just about every night around 8 or 9 mountiain time. up to tier 7, but i like to play 4-6 the most. mobius are you still playing?</p>

I'm going to check this out once I get my computer setup again.

There is a HUGE thread about it over on the Grassroots Motorsports forum.

I havent played wot in a long time. The devs are getting too greedy and are breaking the game. Something iv'e been playing a lot is Armored Warfare.

<p>that is one downside of the &quot;free to play&quot; games. when tf2 went to that style of purchasing, the game became unplayable to me. ive found wargaming does a pretty dam good job of keeping it even. i only just started using gold ammo in the last week(call me a bitch) because i have 3 million plus credits and im content on playing the few tanks ive named above and building crew skill. in my defense i usually only use it when im out tier-ed. some people get so bent over gold ammo in game.</p>

Gold ammo is pay to win with a different currency.. doesnt make it any less broken.

Buy premium account, buy credit packs and spam gold at everything and watch your stats increase.

<p>in any case, i dont find myself constantly getting overpowered, so its till fun. to me anyway. i havnt spent a dime of real money on this game, and i dont ever intend to.</p>

Ah your max tier is a T7. That explains it lol. Just wait till tier 10 when it's costing you 30k to repair your tank and another 25k on ammo.

<p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>im guessing the winnings dont keep up with the cost? and thats how they get you?&nbsp;</p>

At around tier 8 you gotta have 50-55% w/l ratio and at least 1500 average damage per battle to balance out. Tier 9 is where you start losing about 5k on average. Tier 10 you lose credits unless you get out unscratched and 100% hit and penetration ratio. And this is coming from someone with stats well above good.
