Got into a Hetzer and I'm conflicted over the gun to buy!
The 10.5cm does 7 rounds pm, 350 av damage with 64mm pen, or 410 with 53mm
The 7.5cm does 15 rounds pm, 110 av damage with 106mm pen.

I'm leaning towards the 10.5cm with the HE ammo. It might not penetrate as much, but You still do damage with HE, even if you don't penetrate, right? At least I think that's how it used to be?

You used to do damage even if you didn't penetrate with HE but these days you barely inflict any against any reasonably well armoured tank.

Its not a great choice really. Either you use the 75mm and bounce a lot on most of the higher tier tanks unless you get a bit of luck or you use the 105mm and have a long reload but have the potential of doing massive damage or absolutely nothing (or more likely, very little). You probably may as well use the 105mm and hope you can take advantage of the excellent camouflage the Hetzer has. I wouldn't expect miracles with either gun, matchmaking will screw you over far to badly.
 
Does anyone play using mods? I've just discovered them, and now have a couple that I really like.

Just makes the popups a little more interesting.

Pettingson & Stans HD minimap

HD minimaps, useful for people with larger monitors who increase the minimap size, so it still remains detailed.

Provides a fancier looking tank detail area from the bottom left corner.

I prefer this option to the other tank screens. It just makes the tank lists in-battle easier to read and grab info from. Doesn't seem to work with some of the lower level tanks, though.

Finally, and my favourite, 2DZoom by Terryzxc

Gives the game a very high-tech mecha sort of feel, which I really like. The HUD used to display as in the two pictures above, showing the enemy name, tank and remaining HP%. However, the 7.2 patch has killed this, so it displays 'unknown' for these when you look at a tank. Even so, I prefer it over the standard display just because it looks so awesome. Will be even better if it does get fixed!
 
Uh nice, end of april will come the 7.3 patch.

If u have the kv, kv-3 and is-4 in your garage, you will get 3 free garage slots with 3 new tanks.

I´m excited for the new premium tank, both french, a t4 spg and a t3 td :)

Aye already got my KV and KV-3 ready for such an event. Only just unlocked the IS and can't afford it yet so IS-4 is never gonna happen unfortunately.

Thought KV-3 was just becoming T7 so why would you get a free garage slot/tank? Same for the IS-4 and T10? KV is being split to KV and KV-2 so I know you get a free slot for that.

IS-4 is moving to T10 and a new tank is being introduced at T9 to replace it. That is the 'free' tank you get along with the garage slot to go with it.

Ah yeah true. Though I doubt it'll work that way with KV and KV-3. KV is being split into KV and KV-2 which is T5 and T6 and the KV-3 is moving from T6 to T7 so they both overlap as they're staying in the same tech tree, unlike the IS which is still T7 but is moving to the other Heavy tree.

No Evil.

The IS is staying in the same tree, the KV3 is moving over to the new tree (which the IS4 is moving to head up). The T-150 is replacing the KV3 (so will be the tank before the KV3) and the KV-1S will be the Tier 6 tank that will lead to the IS.

Here is that same game Evil mentioned with his 12t and me and Defrag played too, from my perspective: http://www.linktart.co.uk/_files_/w...403_0010_germany-Ferdinand_redshire.wotreplay

I think KV-2 will be tier 5 still and only leads to S-51.

been waiting a year for this update. Last one shafted me as I have too many tanks and I need to get ace tanker before selling them now.

This has been mentioned in numerous more recent threads on the WoT forums. It is apparently becoming Tier 6, not staying as Tier 5. Also says it on the World of Tanks website: http://worldoftanks.eu/en/development

If in the KV tree the turret “KV-2” is researched, players get the tier 6 heavy tank KV-2 to their garage without any additional modules and consumables, also one free slot for the tank is added to the garage;

Gah, I've logged into my account for the first time in ages and my garage\account is all screwed. It's not showing the tanks I have (although they are marked as being in my garage in the shop). Trying a re-install... (it was an updated beta install that I was still running).

I'm really unclear as to whats happening with the russian heavies tbh. I'm fairly certain I've seen a new tech tree image but don't remember where it was. Beyond that... I dunno.

Either way I have both tanks ready.

I did that once, i had clicked the "show primary vehicles only" checkbox at the bottom and it looked like I had no tanks. Uncheck it and they will come back
 
Well it's all ok after the install. Even the buttons were all messed up with code showing instead of just the labels. I just wish the tanks were what I had at the end of the beta rather than those I had once I had enough grinding through it the second time!
 
yup :)

going to be on all night tonight so should be up for some action


anyone care to explain whats happening with the russian heavies, my heads hurting from trying to make sense of it all

i've got a KV and a KV3 what do i end up with?
