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

I loved the DB back in the beta, in fact repurchased it in Feb/March just to play around in it again. :)

Great speed, manoeuvrability and armour. Sure its not going to bounce tier 8s etc but unlike the 3001p where any old crock could damage it, the DB can easily bounce other VK mediums and like the 3/4 you get more than your fair share of silly bounces from bigger guns.
 
Just got the long 88 gun on the tiger. I must say its not that good compared to the short 88. Was fighting a IS and still didnt really damage it all that much compared to trying with a short 88.

Expected to do a lot better vs same tier tanks like the IS but pff.

Eh? I thought the long 88 was a pure upgrade over the short, may have the same damage but has much greater penetration.

IS vs Tiger the IS will normally win unless its accuracy fails it, same goes against lower tiers, but against tier 8+ tanks I'd always take the tiger. The extra penetration, accuracy & hp it has makes you much more effective against them, the better armour on the IS doesn't mean a thing when they can all penetrate it anyway, while the 122/100mm can't reliably penetrate most tier 8s from the front.
 
Thats odd, the short 88 does have the same damage but a lot less penetration (132 vs 203) as well as being more accurate (0.36 vs 0.3). The Panther / Tiger 88mm is almost identical to the 88mm on the JagdPanther. From what i remember when playing my Panther, going from short 88 to long 88 was a massive upgrade. The thing with the IS is it has 120mm frontal armor and 100 on the turret. If your upclose to it, chances are you would have penetrated the front anyway. the long 88 should make the most difference at distance, as well as the fact you can penetrate most T8 tanks from the front
 
Its a bit better now i have had more games with it. Still kinda wish i could one shot kill things. I mean i fired on a lee recently and didnt one shot it or even other small tanks and its rare to really mess up any big tanks cos they bounce or say critical damage but no hp were taken off and looked like there still fully able to kick my arse.

Btw

My new ferdy got to flog a lot to pay for it. Should have waited a bit instead of wanting to buy as soon as it unlocked but meh. I think its worth it. Winning most games now or at least killing a fair few per game. :)

Probably transferred the crew from the previous tank where they had 100% crew, you keep the work done on secondary skills but they don't grow or come into effect until they hit 100% again.

EDIT: And yeah once your premium runs out your going to need a good tier 5/6 credit earner to support that ferdi.

Just noticed this:

However a celebration with no presents is not a proper one.

During three days – starting May 7th and up till May 9th the following bonuses will be available for everyone:

* 50% discount on all equipment;

* 5x experience multiplier for the first victory of the day (instead of 2x);

* 3-day premium account for only 250 gold.

Sweet. Shame I already have most of my tanks laoded with equipment. :(
 
Yup and a toolbox and camonet. Not a huge improvement for some tanks but if your just grinding up one tank its better than 3 empty slots.

Also no doubt 5x first victory thing will inevitably be in that one game when you get one shotted by arty 30 seconds into the game.

"Victory : 152exp (five times bonus)" :o

I see some fairly cautious battles over the weekend until I get past that first victory for the day.

Afaik the secondary skill works even regardless if 100% crew it is only progress that moves when it is 100% crew status. Unless i have been mistaken.

The equipment for 50% off will be great cos i floged my binoculers and toolbox to pay for the arty and its crew transfer. Didnt want to but when you grind 72k xp u really cant wait to buy it when it unlocks. :p Least i couldnt. Sold stug, equipment, all things i could to get the ferdy. I mean i bought it more or less fine just the crew transfered i couldnt wait so i could play the thing. And in my mind was i think the ferdy is a good money maker so i can buy the other stuff later if i want to.

Also even tho i sold the tanks i have some crew that are 100% or near in the barreks. So i dont have to train em again if i want them tanks again at some point. Tho i doubt id want to play low tier cos i want to progress to max only not play old tanks when i have new ones. Cept when i had to cos of platoons. If i had to tho i might get the stug back and vk back perhaps for platoon reasons.

Today and for the next 2 days (til the 10th) you get 5X experience for your first win of the day on EACH tank.

Also all equipment for your tanks such as Rammers, Ventilation, Gun Laying Drives, Coated Optics etc is HALF PRICE.

You don't need to mount it on a tank straight away either.

To buy without mounting equipment, even lockable equipment such as a Rammer, go to the Store tab and buy it.

It will then appear as in Depot and will lock to whatever compatible tank you later fit it to.



So I personally am buying a fair few 600k modules like Ventilation Class 3, Vertical Stabiliser Mk 2 and so on since that's 300k off for the next few days.

As and when I get the tanks I can mount them on I'll be able to do so :)
