i use a microsoft lifechat lx-3000, it's £18 out of the famous click and collect shop and i've found it does the job nicely :)

the plantronics one on this week only on ocuk seems to be getting good reviews also and is about the same price but i prefer one with a built in usb soundcard so i don't have to fumble behind the pc to connect it.

Had a few good platoon matches last night in tier 5, I was glad cause I was for throwing in the towel in frustration. I don't know if its all the school kiddies but recently it seems that any notion of tactics have gone out the window and every one just rushes to an early death, it was especially frustrating cause I'm trying my hand at some artillery and I'm just getting destroyed as no one defends or scouts. Anyway back into the KV-1 and teamed up with some solid OCUK players for 3 wins out of 3 matches.
 
Yeah it was good Gambisk thanks for the matches.

I lost count of how many platoon matches i played yesturday with Nix_04? and a combination of Gambisk and GadgetMart. We hit abit of a losing streak towards the end of the night when we moved up to Tier6 instead of Tier5 but I suspect thats more down to 2 of the 3 tanks being stock (mine and Nix's) guns :(

But the main thing is we overall came out on top with more wins. I look forward to more in the future cheers.
 
Could be school kiddies never thought of that. I just played a couple in the Sexton during my lunch hour and Prokhorovka map the whole lot went down the left hand side. All of them.

Needless to say it wasnt long before two of their tanks found me skulking near our flag and I TD'd one of them sons of muppets before the other got me.

Then on Airfield half went left, half went right, gaping big hole in the middle. I think a lot of them dont bother reading the map or have it zoomed right down so they cant see it because it gets in the way of their view !


On another note anyone got good tips for WOT on an Intel GMA 4500MHD ?

I found a couple of modded drivers that help a little. I've installed 3% texture pack and used WOT Tweaker to disable everything in there. Its just about playable now although arty is better as it doesnt move. Gone from 11-15fps to 15-18fps.

ISU to me is easily the best T8 TD and the easiest to play. Even more so into higher tiers. Sure it doesnt have bouncy armor, but then which does? The T28 has decent armor but its extremly slow. T28 prototype has resonable armor but the turret isnt that strong. Mle 48 on paper has decent armor, but everyone just aims for the weakspot and pens without fail. (This tank also had its penetration dropped in 8.6). Ferdy has ok ish armor, but with premium ammo around its very easy to pen it, as most t7/ t8 tanks have more than 200mm of penetration with premium ammo and can just penetrate the superstructure. I dont have any exprience of the SU101 or the british one (except it has a nice easy to pen weakspot on top).

SU-101 is one of the worst of the tier 8 tds, it has the worst gun depression possible, but other than that its not so bad all round, but doesnt work, a tank should excel in at least 1 area, DPM or alpha, and be able to use it, the lack of gun depression means your positions are reduced drastically. It is however pretty fast so you can rush certain positions but it can go terribly wrong.

The AT-15 is a trap tank, the reload time is 4.21 seconds (without BIA), if a tank decides to pop out to shoot you, you can track him and keep him tracked and keep shooting until he is dead. the armor is good as long as they dont aim for weak spots.. But ideally with this tank you must attack hard. This tank is not one you want to face frontally with any other tier 8 assuming both are full HP. Many times people have asked me if this tank was an autoloader.
The gun traverse is amazing also, you can almost shoot around corners.
The other good thing is people dont realise the reload is so fast and the gun traverse is so good that when you shoot someone and another guy takes this chance to pop out to take his shot on you, you are already reloaded and aimed.

These are my stats for the tanks discussed.

ISU-152= 2890 AVG DMG / 1.92 kills / 1130XP AVG
AT-15 = 2391 AVG DMG / 1.95 kills / 1174XP AVG
SU-101 = 1591 AVG DMG / 1.41 kills / 987XP AVG

(note the XP on SU-101 was pre-8.6 so i buffed it 25% to compensate as the previous 2 tanks i grinded post 8.6 Original =790)

I have not played the AC, i will do soon, but IMO the armor is the best of the tier 8 TD's, and the weakspot is not easy to hit over distance if you wiggle a bit.

The Churchill III is the same. I know people **** it off with it being a premium and weak gun but it fires so fast especially when you have it levelled up quite high like mine. I've started to get a couple of comments about how I can fire so fast and I've been called a cheat twice.

It often has a tough time against KV1's but if you hit its weak spots fast you can take it down. One KV1 I had was peppered with shots and the comment was "woooaaa how do you fire so fast".

People dont realise if you get a good fast firing gun even if its a bit weak it can be an advantage.

Another one springs to mind is the AT-2.
 
Just applied to the OCUK clan, I hope my app is accepted. I tend to play most nights and have being playing since closed Beta.

In game name BillAndrex :D
 
Hi all just seen Hawkhead in a match and it reminded me to come and say Hi.

Are you still taking on new clan members? if so I will apply.
 
Arty is pointless since patch 8.6 I used to play arty from time to time now I can't even hit a barn door with a decent crew.

You are better off in any tank other than arty.

I've been one-shotted (or near enough) a few times since the patch. Not as often as before the 8.6, but tbh it was far too easy to play arty and do well...

Also had top gun in my French tier 5 premium thing...

So it's not that hard. If I can do it...;)
 
So all Tier 10 tanks have a discount at the weekend. Which should I buy out of:

Jagdpanzer E100
T110E4
121 (Chinese Medium)

Im thinking of going for one of the TD's as I already have a T10 medium.
