World of Tanks Beta

Have you upgraded to the larger turret? If you have, switch back for the moment. The 60 extra hp it gives you isn't worth half the rotational speed of the original turret, will make it easier to hit moving tanks.
 
You can try and speed up the traverse of your turret by moving on the spot in the direction you want the turret to go. Can give you a bit of an extra edge if something gets close.
 
Right what to go for?

122mm u-11
61mm pen
430 dmg


76mm s-54
109 pen
115 dmg


Assuming pen is better than dmg? or with that higher dmg, does penetration not matter?
 
Pen for AP, Damage is for HE, so if you use the 122, only pack HE, and the 76 AP. 107 works with both pretty good, but i prefered AP, and now in my IS-4 i dont carry HE anymore lol
 
I pick upgrades in this order:

1: Do I really need it or can I hold out?
[if it gets me no closer an upgrade I really need/want, try to save XP]
2: If yes then choose the one that leads on to a future upgrade.
[no brainer! If it's needed to get another upgrade, then get it]
3: If neither are steps to something else, I go for penetration over damage.
[guns with higher penetration generally work better at range]

So, by my criteria, I would probably go for the 76mm, unless the other gets me closer to an upgrade I want or I think I can hold out a bit longer.

I don't even use HE in my IS! :p

I need a massive money-maker tank or I will never afford my IS-3! :(
 
Doesn't sound too bad, the t44 is about 15k, with premium bad matches either make a slight loss or just about break even.
 
The real money sink is the 122mm! 26K for full loadout of AP shells. Every miss is 1K down the toilet! :p

If I am destroyed or it is a long battle I need to make around 30K+ to come out on top, and it's usually not by much. Still, it's what the other tanks are for, making money. Considering going for a Leo as I have heard they make eaaaasy money. I don't make enough with my other tanks atm.
 
The 122 is nowhere near as bad as the German 10.5 gun for being a money sink. They are slightly more expensive per shell and have a higher fire rate :p.
 
Either way, it is still such a :mad: moment when you miss by an inch because you fired as the enemy hit a bump or you were hit by an enemy shell!
 
I really want a Tiger II, but I barely have the will to get to IS-3, and the IS is an amazing tank. Self-harm is likely if I tried to grind through the Tiger! :p
 
Tiger is slated way too hard. It's as good as the IS, just don't charge in with it. Give it a try and play it more defensively. I loved it. Feel free to platoon with me too. I have plenty of choice :D. name in game is Sargatanas2k2.
 
I am about 1mill credits short of being able to buy a Tiger lol! :p

Need a fast money maker. I shouldn't have sold my KV-3!

Upgrade order:
Tracks
Engine
Then do as posted above.

Tracks will provide better acceleration, and usually increase turning speed, though this depends on tanks, right click to check. Engine will boost the top speed.

And both of these are very important for staying alive :)
