****** Official World of Tanks OcUK Clan ******

Played a game a couple of nights ago for the first time in about a month.

It is still broken badly. Premium ammo has just broken whatever balance there was.

All HTs are worthless if the enemy are running premium ammo. They need to just simply get rid of premium ammo from the whole game. But they wont as it must be making them loads as people try to earn the credits to run it. They will then buy premium accounts and buy premium tanks.

Its just a real shame to see a game I invested sooo much time in largely ruined. Armour, angling, knowing where to aim all out of the window. Point click fire.

On the plus side I am enjoying War Thunder. You actually get rewared for helping team mates and it is good fun !

You've just gotta adapt. Heavy tanks are still fine, they're just no longer the most powerful class. They still kill an equal tier medium in 3-4 shots, the only difference is now they can do some damage back.

If it really bothers you just play scouts, french tanks and artillery because premium ammo doesn't make the slightest bit of difference when you don't have any armour to begin with.

Agreed, playing the Batchat 25t or 50B with no armour means you don't care if they are shooting gold at you!

That's along the same lines as justifying cheating frankly and all its doing is trying to pretend there isn't a problem.

A well angled heavy tank or TD shouldn't be easily penetrated by any skill-less retard who thinks his Medium should be attacking from the front just because he paid for premium rounds.

Exactly. My Moan is that the games balance has been shafted by WG trying to make even more money. Each class of tank had it's role. HTS pushed the line supported by MTs. Now in armour terms a HT is just a big slow medium.

Premium ammo has made DPM far more important than penetration. That combined with the daft ballistic model that means a shell with 260mm pen does zero damage to a tank with 80mm of armour just cos it hit the tracks makes a heavies slow ROF a liability.

It's the loss of balance that upsets me the most...
 
I hit an M12 SPG twice last night in the front with my E100 and did 0 damage both times. He hit me and game lost as we were the last 2 tanks alive. I was fuming. :mad::mad: I Guess WG didn't want me to win that one.

Exactly, I have now gone back and started playing batchat, comet and patton to troll the arty and heavies.

These tanks have no armour but back a punch! Playing tier 10 heavy games is soul destroying.

I have decided to stop grinding all together and play tier 4-8prem and only play my patton and bachat as they rock.

War Gaming has killed the end level game, so why spend money and time grinding?

I want my chinse tier 6-8 light tanks to troll more and I love my T71 and AMX 90!
 
I have a wz-132 now which I like playing. It and it's predecessor are pretty fun to go and kill those pesky arty with. Heavy tanks are now generally very frustrating to play at the top level, which is why I now tend to play the mediums instead.

I managed to buy the wz-131, but I'm not feeling the scout love for it yet. Going to need quite a bit of xp to get the engine tracks and gun and my crew are only 90%.

12 games 3 wins... continuing my good recent win rate :(
 
I just bought my first tier 9 and its a heavy, well its the IS-8 so its not as slow as some. Going by the posts here, i may not rush and get a tier 10, and just buy some of the tier 8's i have unlocked.
 
Have any of you bothered to get the engine upgrades for the Type 58? 11K XP for a 3% reduction in chance of engine catching fire seems ridiculous, and 16K for a 20HP increase seems even more ludicrous :/
 
A Valentines Day special is up. Not that it's going to make me load the game up at the moment. Taking a break. Though I may play on Saturday again....

There is also a free code for a day of premium:

Which can be used between 14th February and the 1st March. I'll probably use it on Saturday personally.

I didn't bother as it hardly seems worth it, but later I found that when researching the engine from my wz-131, it was also the top engine for the type-58 so saved me some xp.

I saw a variant of the M4 I've never seen before last night. I asked about it ingame but nobody answered :/

I can't remember its exact designation now though, d'oh!
