I said it before and I will say it again: If you consider buying into the beta, keep this in mind. One of the first tanks you can drive is a Gavin with a hilarious gun on top. That is all you need to know.

One thing that bothers me is that HEAT does more damage and has less pentration which is 100% the opposite of what it actually is. Or did they change that already?

My initial inpressions are good. I only played PVE so I don't burn out on pubbies for now. The grind is okay, after about 7 matched I got halfway into my second tank and got halfway to each of the tank trees for a trader. Before I hit any tier 3 they will all be unlocked except one or two maybe. You can freeXP those unlock achievements as well, if you so desire.

You click on the XP bar, that allows you to spend global XP on tank progress XP. ChickenWyngz posted:Can we get some numbers for how many goons we have on each server?

The "tutorial" for it is easily missed. Sometimes the bar has a little progress part flashing golden, indicating how much you could skip with your free XP right now. Also, once you 100% a tank you do not get all the XP from it as global XP. It only gives you the possibilty to transfer the tank XP via gold to global XP. 1 gold for 125XP.

Agrajag posted:thanks now I continue to not know what maximum and minimum accuracy really mean. The circle that gets bigger and smaller as you move, turn, etc. indicates your accuracy. Your shot is supposed to hit somewhere in that circle. So if part of a tank is fully inside a circle, you are guaranteed a hit. Minimum accuracy is how "small" this aiming circle can get. The smaller this is the better (thus 'increases' in minimum accuracy are good. The smaller the circle, the better a chance of you hitting a target you have. Maximum accuracy is how "big" the circle can be at any given point. Usually while driving the circle is the biggest. If you increase your maximum accuracy you make this circle start out smaller and only able to reach a certain size. With this you effectively decrease aiming time since your circle already starts out smaller. As a quick rule of thumb - For sniping vehicles you want a better minimum accuracy. For Vehicles that move you want a smaller maximum accuracy. Same goes for lowering your aiming time. e: As a notice, I am not sure if lowering your maximum accuracy decreases your aiming time or if this always a fixed number. In any case it helps for snapshots. Michaellaneous fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Oct 3, 2015 |

Not entirely sure what the thought process behind the T90 was. But I mean it's a Russian tank so probably "Let's give tank two red eyes to make it look evil."

Feindfeuer posted:It's part of the Shtora-1 active defense system, the 'red eyes' are active infrared jammers to trow SACLOS ATGM. Once the sensors around the turret regocnize they are beeing painted you can hit a button and the turret automatically faces the threat and starts shining infrared party lights in your ATGM equipment.

I am very pleased with the fact that they upped PVE rewards. I am a bad player but would still like to have cool tanks so being able to relax in PVE for a while and unlock cool (and I would say fun tanks but let's be honest, low tier tanks are also super fun) tanks without having to get angry at pubbies and myself in PVP. This is my opinion.

You guys should get the BMD1. The gun is really good, it's superfast and you can do some crazy skillshots with the missile launcher. Behind a hill, top down attacks and stuff.

Main Theme when driving Russian tanks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U06jlgpMtQs Reminds me of that game, Blitz 1941 or so. It was a rather cute isometric tank game, and they actually had the USSR anthem playing nonstop when you logged into your russian garage. e: But in all seriousness, if you are in a tank that can drive more than 50kph the game should just open a music player ala Need For Speed and start playing some good racing music.

The thing with that is they will probably add a bunch of tanks at once because I can't really see them making a new trader for only 3 tanks.

ERA Sections only work once on each spot. Non-ERA is not as effective but always work. Cages almost always work but are usually only on the side. Active Protection Systems like the Trophy can shoot down incoming missiles from any directions but only a few times with a cooldown. The highest tier tanks get unlimited uses that have a really long cooldown. Most ERA is not present on turrets, same goes for cages. Protection systems still work there.

Valle posted:When you bought the founder's packs, you got them on both the EU and NA servers. I'm guessing that the collector's edition problem is somehow related to loving up the change from buying packs for both servers to just one. Good to see that WG aren't the only ones who gently caress things up a lot! The turret in the BgltPz57 is unmanned, thus you will do reduced HP damage on it.

They were also talking about buffing the credits in PvE too right? They already did that at Open Beta start. But they will maybe do it again, yeah.
