I honestly do not blame you bru. The OcUK clan is basically dead anyway. If I wanted to do clanwars and find other platoon mates I would have left by now.
Good luck, if you ever want to rejoin, let us know.

Ok I've noticed that the load time is coming down as the crews skill level goes up, never actually noticed that before, lol, so crisis averted.
How many battles do you have?
To not know simple stuff about crew skills like that is waaaaaaay too soon to be playing tier 8.
I had a battle the other night with a platoon of new T34 players, might as well have alt tabbed out for that battle straight away when a platoon like that is top tier.
Just over 9000 battles, over 3 years of playing.
So definitely not too soon as you put it, it was just something that I had never noticed, generally I play it for fun not to crunch the numbers. I wouldn't have noticed this time except the little video showing off the T34 on the WG site mentioned a 14 second reload, so I looked during my first game and noticed.

Oh ok, my bad sorry.
FWIW I didn't like the T34 either, but then mine was free so I had no qualms about selling it.

P2J is up today for the advent calendar.
It's a fun tank to drive around, I enjoy mine, but prepare to lose money every time you play, as the gun is underpowered. Even with gold ammo it barely has enough penetrations for the heavier armoured targets that it meets. It has great armour, at a massive cost to speed and it's gun.
It is a balanced tank overall, but not really against unexperienced players (who you frequently meet). You do not see red players doing particularly well in them (unlike arty) and the troll armour is the only trick this pony gets. If you are not a collector I cannot recommend this tank. If you are: Go for it. It's fun, but only to drag out for 1 or 2 games every now and again. Oh, and you WILL lose in-game credits playing this.
They should not ever sell this tank cheap, or have it available for several days, but single day sales at a high cost is a fine idea, giving collectors a chance to get one.
Just my 2 cense for anyone thinking of buying one, just so you know what to expect from this infamous tank.

Another tank I got with a free code some years back, sold it as it's not really my thing and I barely played it.
How much is it this time, wasn't it about £70 last time including a **** ton of gold or something?

jesus wept...
TBH they're a waste of time, they were good way way back before they altered the matchmaking of tier 2 TDs, now they just get shredded in seconds by most things at that tier with half decent pen and view range.

As said, I wouldn't recommend you buy one unless you are a tank collector.
And most of the games I have played in mine have been good, with a couple having it penned by Tier 3 tds (and some tier 2s, but those die really quickly to my autocannon).

im not in the OcuK clan but i would just like to say that if your looking to buy some advent calendar deals, check out circonflexes, he does one at 3pm everyday (i think its 3pm) they are extremley helpful and short unlike QB's
Well that was disappointing, I was expecting another tank which I didn't want or couldn't afford, but 360 days of premium for a discount?
If the E25 goes on sale then I've no idea what I'll do, although I really notice the camo nerf on that class of tank, it used to be a killer but now it gets spotted by everything.
So far I've not paid for Premium because my rate of progression was never that important (and I don't want to spend real money).
But I have recently started buying a bit of gold ammo, mainly because I have a **** tonne of unused credits and partly because the tanks I have don't seem to pen as well as other tanks in the hands of better players.
And that weak spot on top of IS3's? well I'm buggered if I can ever hit the thing, so it's easier to load gold and ram it through the lower plate.
Firing accurately isn't my forte, I will always rank middle or lower in a T54, but in a Spahpanzer or Leopard scout, often in the top three.

Heads up - Apparently due to the success and war reception on the NA server we may be getting the 12 days of tankmess or something simaler according to Murph
Fingers crossed there should be a annocement today at some point
Can you translate for noobs like me? Whats tankmess?
A event onthe NA server they are running - they ahev basically laid out the run up to Christmas and what will be offered each day missions etc so people can plan what they wish to get or work for.
They have 12 tank's for sale one each day uptill Christmass - hence 12 days of Tankmess (yes it's daft) we'll have to see what they come back with though
I'm hoping it's reasonable though
