At the moment with tracers disabled, you do not need to relocate after each shot with arty. Also, I have found that sometimes you an get a flukey hit by firing with a large aiming circle...by the time you've reloaded you get a tight aim so not much time lost anyways.

I'm not sure which gun it is, but the default HE ammo does less damage than an alternative (non-premium) HE shell that costs a little more. I took the more expensive one and had OK success damaging stuff.
 
Yeah its really annoying when you get Himmelsdorf 3 games in a row on Arty. But I found Russian Arty a lot less painful than German.

Currently mainly playing SU-152, researching the last gun, then will only have the 80K or something XP to get the ISU (and then another crap load for the BL-10), and playing SU-8 (need 100K for the next tier) and KV (researched KV-3 but don't want to spend the creds on one) when main is down with occassional games on the PZ III

I'm using the upgraded gun on the Grille, so no choice in ammo its either HE or gold ammo. I think the starting gun you had a choice of ammo, which I tend to generally gravitate towards the more expensive ammo - or best bang for my coin ;) At 4 rounds/min its not worth me firing before my aim zero's in. 15sec reload 4.5 sec aim.... plus I only get 18 shots... although I rarely run out of ammo.

Out of the last 6 games only 1 was in the open, and that game was the only one that went well, couple of kills, and another 4 tanks or so damaged.

Had a really good game in the KV though, was very close at the end and I killed the last enemy tank about 6 secs before the timer zero'd. Wasn't enough time to cap, he really should have hidden better :D
 
The thing about the Grille... its at least a damn good improvement over the Bison and StpzII with its huge range and higher damage. The Hummel is awesome until you get the Panther, then the Panther takes over. Its gigantic traverse angle and surprisingly good mobility make it a damn good arty. Then you get the GW Tiger and it feels like you've gone back to the stone-age.

I'd hardly call it an advantage, but at least because it turns so damn slowly the spread doesn't increase massively when you turn the tank.

I seem to keep getting crap arty maps over and over too. A few days ago with my GW Panther I got 'Ensk' about 4 times in a row... every single 1 of them my team was crap and med/light tanks drove up the centre/right side and killed me easily.

I'm about 25k off on my StugIII. Unfortunately I now have a pressing reason to get the JagdPanther... and thats because it uses the same engine as the GW Tiger which will save me 35k on research :p Seriously I'm still 50k off my new gun, never mind the 250k I need to reach the Type E.
 
At standard the Grille is still crap range and damage, however once upgraded you get pretty much the full map which is sooo much better :)

My last fight at Ensk a medium came down and spotted me, lucky there was another medium ally in front of me.... no wait he hid behind a house and didn't come back out till I'd died..... thx for the protection :rolleyes:

Generally I'll try to stick my tank in between arty and an enemy to try and give them some protection, however many people dont bother.

Just got my first Kamikaze in the grille on Ruinberg, tank came at me and I fired got him down to 1%... then I rammed him losing him that 1% he was hanging on too :D

Thats Ensk for you...

I've taken to just hiding behind 1 of the buildings on the left of the train tracks. I can reverse back to shoot over and cover the right or I can push up against it and blast tanks that try and rush in the side and hope my team finishes it off. If I start north I just flee west and shoot from that side, tends to be a bit safer up there.
 
Hey guys, wonder if you could help me.

I played this game for a while back in beta and now looking for another game other than DoW2 so thought id give this another bash. Problem is their webste doesnt seem to have me registered and ive tried all emails i can think of.

Is there something i dont know about like accounts having been trashed between beta and retail? I knew there was going to be a wipe but thought that was just stats, and i thought for example you got something for having played the beta, which cant happen if your accounts wiped.

Also, a bit more on topic, hopefully looking to join you guys for some games, so i'll look into the details as to how i join up etc.

Cheers
 
Yea quite simple, there are 2 servers for us, theres the north american which is what the majority of the beta was on, then theres the European server which is what were all using, both servers have different accounts so you will need to register on the euro server to play or login to the na server to use your old beta account.
 
Ah I understand.

Ok one more quickie. So how do you guys keep in contact, see whos around get into a platoon etc. Using steam or something? Didnt see anything in the forst post hence the question.

Actually one more. Are proper clan wars on the go yet or has that still to be implemented?
Sorry been away from the game for a long while.
 
In game when your part of a clan, you have a clan channel, where you can all talk but no way to see whos in what platoon, just ask :p

As for clan wars, that is implemented however we are not doing any currently, not sure why.
 
Actually i assume no ones really running around in tractors and the likes, so is it wise to build up myself till i get a half decent tank before joining platoons?
 
Well people probably have a low tier tank either for credits or because they're working on another tech tree. I've got a T7 arty but I'm up to T5 with TDs and I've got a T4 scouting tank (Leopard) so either of the latter 2 would probably be fine with joining a T2 or T3 tank. But yeah, T1 won't be much good, except for those occasional rounds where someone with a Maus platoons with a T1 tank and enters :p
 
Guys, having some amount of problems.

So tried to make a payment for to get gold, went through it all then got a phonecall which is meant to give me a pin number but in fact the line was dead. Found a number to phone eventually bu no one picks up.

This happen to anyone else?

Also how do i find the chat channel for you guys?
 
Where are you buying gold from? When i pre oredered stuff i either did it with my debit card or via paypal, i forget which but i never had anything about a phone call and a pin :s

With regards to the chat, once you join the clan and have been accepted, you get a chat channel at the bottom of the screen when in garage.
