Yeah I saw thanks for that but I was in a platoon with Link and Spartan. Keep sending me invites I will join if I'm not afk or in a platoon.
You're right though, at least in a platoon you have at least 1 other person backing you up and not left alone on one flank - that makes it easier and if the team is really bad you can moan at each other - a problem shared etc..
Link - put up that game of the E100s/704 where we got BIA medal. 11 kills between 3 players!

Yeah I will do that. Saved the end screen so I can put that on the end. Shall have it up later this evening. It was a good game.
And Nuttah/Michael Caine, where are MY platoon invites?

Played a few Tier 8 companies last night with Defrag and mostly members of our clan (with a few others). Afterwards I played a couple of games, one of them turning the tables a bit on three platooned T62As and a T54.
Enjoy what happens!

Yep, didn't realise until I had posted. I can't appear to make it any bigger either, damn photobucket.
Anyhoo, you can get the idea. I got eleven kills and practically won the game single handed yet I only got 1164 xp. Pretty poor.
Depends. If you steal kills you're effectively not doing much damage.
For example, if you take a MAUS from full HP (3000) to dead, thats obvisouly 3000hp points in your favour and appropriate XP but if you wait until they are 60hp from dead and then take the last shot you're obvisouly not going to get much in the way of XP.
Hence why I get annoyed at plebs in-game that call me a noob for not having any kills in my Tier X tank - what they don't realise is that i've been pounding away on tanks only to have someone (not always, but I've seen it) wait until they are one shot away from dieing and then stealing the kill thinking they will get awesome xp from it.
It used to be transparent but thanks to the battle report you can easily see that the players with the top number of kills have simply stolen them by looking at their overall damage. I can easily get 5000+ damage and not get any kills while they get 8 kills with less than 1000 damage.
I'm not saying thats what you did in this instance but number of kills does not always tell the whole story.

Which is why I asked how much damage was done...

Tier 5 Stug. I did at least 50% damage on every tank that I killed, and at least five of them from full health to none.

That shouldn't really come into it given the number of hits (28 consecutive) and kills.

You don't have to prearrange. Just type a message into clan chat, or go onto the ocuk mumble server and see who's on there. There's usually a few people playing at the peak times on evenings and weekends.
That's the whole point of the clan. We don't do clanwars or anything, mostly just platooning with whoever else happens to be on at the same time.

Yeah I agree it doesn't. it affects XP and credits, but you still have to do well to get this. Also a Premium account alone does not make you more likely to penetrate, you need gold ammo for that (far worse imo).
ok thanks

I hear this also. I've also been accused of camping in a tank too. I always find it funny when its called this. Its a feepin huge tank not that easy to hide and be a sniper always. I think some people play the game as though the tank has the same aspect as a humanoid player running round. They think they are still playing BF3 or COD. I take up a position, provide covering fire whilst the nooby's rush forward headlong into an ambush. The enemy think they have got the upper hand on a bunch of noobies till they find themselves under heavy fire.
Yes I have been using noobies as bait.
The noobs then end up finishing them off thinking they did all the damage and then turn round see you at the rear and say your are camping.
When in reality you are just moving forward slowly into better positions each time. Sometimes its really easy to spot as you get likeminding players doing the same, so in two's and threes you move up in tandem giving fire whilst the noobs rush headlong down one side. Sometimes it works out okay. Most of the time not as suddenly you are the only two or three tanks left.
Quite possibly the worst tier X tank driver I've ever seen. Look at the AMX 50B on our team!!!
Needless to say they wiped the floor with us.
He's either bought that account from a bot farm or that must have been one hell of a grind to the 50B.
