World of Tanks Beta

ganesh said:
Finding it very hard to play at the moment, I keep on getting ridiculous lag spikes where the whole game will freeze and the ui disappear. Sometimes it won't even log in. It was fine last night, but there's probably a lot more people playing now. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Can't say I have, but this is a beta. Get over to the tech support and post the issue, see if they can get it fixed.

Calneon - Yes, you can exit battle once you're dead and join another battle using a different tank. Once the original battle's finished you'll get the credits as normal. gold is awarded every 24 hours after registration, it seems. If you registered at 5pm, you'll get it every 5pm, though its only awarded after a battle, so you'll need ti fight to get it. Just recieved mine, not going to spend it on anything right now though, saving for premium methinks.

Tips and tricks I've picked up so far: Hang back at the start! Follow the group, don't lead it. Being near the front means you're going to be the first target, and first to die. Keep back and shoot targets as they appear. Try to hide in vegetation cover, you can see out but its harder for enemies to see in. Meaning its safer to sit there and take pot shots at enemies as they appear. Once they realise you're there, start moving. Acceleration is slow, and zig-zagging is the best way to avoid enemy fire. Yes, if you're running away it means exposing the rear armour, but in the first few tanks there's only 2mm difference in armour thickness.

Hmm, it may be at a set time then, just needs you to go through a battle to award it.
 
One of the bullet types costs gold, isnt that paying for an advantage?

EDIT: I'm actually quite enjoying this, enter a battle, be aggressive and most likely die in a few minutes. Get the other tank, do the same, then minimize and do something else for 10 minutes while the battles finish, and repeat :P.

EDIT2: Got my first kill YAY!

To an extent. I'm about to get my second tank, so will be able to look at the difference in ammo there. Certainly for the basic tanks its not really worth it, especially as that's 2gold per bullet on the basic tanks... though until we know how much gold will cost, that may be nothing or a lot. Some people on the WoT forums are saying they don't like using the gold ammo since it adds pressure, most ammo is just there and gone, cheap to rebuy, but gold ammo means you've got added pressure to make every shot count.
 
Another question, does transferring XP cost gold? 150 gold = ~60k credits so that's not too bad. I'd rather have 60k credits than 75 slightly better bullets lol.
 
Been playing this on and off all day, it's ridiculously good fun. And that's whether I'm on a killing spree or defending too, the one shot kills are annoying but once you work out how best to avoid them they're not so bad.
 
I've got myself an AT-1 with the 76mm cannon. It deals massive damage, but needs all the ammo it can store because its accuracy is rather flakey. 0.48 accuracy, meaning that there's a 52% chance of hitting a target at 100m. Not exactly accurate... but when it does hit, there's an explosion! :D

Need 134,500 credits for the next one now! :( That's a lot of grinding. Now I'm really tempted to use the gold for the credits... though I'll probably regret it down the line :x
 
sick of my light tank catching fire! even when the rear of my tank shouldnt be exposed someone manages to hit the fuel tank and then everyone just "damages by fire" and im out :@

It's only 2 days for enough credits, what else would you use them for?

Premium account. 50% more credits and exp from battles, but its expensive. 250 gold for 24 hours, 1250 gold for 7 days and 2500 gold for 30.

Then again, 2500 gold = 1,000,000 credits, and I doubt I'd get that much bonus from winning games, so that doesn't seem like such good value afterall :3
