I know arty sucks and I shouldn't really expect to hit anything, but the UK arty line has been so much more frustrating to play than the American and Russian. So many shots hit the extreme edge of my aiming circle even when fully aimed in. I just had to use bps to get past the FV207 cause I can't take it anymore.

I've already parked my QL. Too expensive to play. Spin it it around in my garage though.

British arty line consists of the FV304, CQC and poo poo. Even then getting the most out of those tanks is situational, basicly you need tanks that don't move much around your max firing range in cover you can shoot over... What I'm saying is play the american t9, or you know... don't play arty.

To say nothing of the fact that you will always be primary. You might get a phenomenal win rate in it solely because the other team will suicide themselves to kill you and make it easier in turn for your team to kill them.

...not that you'll get the bennies of those wins, though. >.>

For some reason the UK clicker line is insufferably poo poo; they often have piddly guns and/or short range. Somehow I managed to enjoy the Crusader SP but the FV207 was horrendous.

Yeah, it's undergunned, is too tall, and existed before the power creep became insane.

If/when they sell the Pz5/4 in this thing, snap it up, though. Spec it for ramming and giggle your balls off.

I bid 9.5M because I am loving drunk.

I might go back and reduce my bid though; LT's are currently a load of old cack and this is a bad medium in disguise.

Edit:
Just reduced to 6.5m, gently caress it. If I win I get another rare (and poo poo) vehicle. If not, I have 19m credits.

Here's an 8-kill Ace Tanker in the Somua in case anyone is considering buying it in the black market.

Ok, so you can sell premium tanks for credits, and then buy them back later for essentially sale price + 10%,if you need a last minute loan for something. Premiums that are only in the cash shop can be redeemed permanently in-game (from the Depot), but tech tree premiums can only be retrieved in-game for 72 hours, after which we should use the recovery tool on the website. So says WG’s website, and this seems to be the case because I can recover poo poo like the T-127 which I sold like 10 years ago.

Now the question: can the website recovery tool be used for tech tree premiums indefinitely? I have an M4 Revalorise I never play, so of I need a couple mil for the 50tp Prototyp or something, I’ll pawn it off but only if I can genuinely get it back later if I want to. Does anyone know if the website tool has an expiry?

As far as I am aware it does not expire.

I had to sell 500 large repair kits and 500 large med kits (I still have over 2k of each), but the Awfulpanzer is mine once again! It keeps its stats if you had it before it was removed from the game.

That's good enough for me, I'll risk it if I'm two mil short on the 50tp Prototyp. Or the PzIV/V if they sell that for credits.

How are you guys setting yours up? I think I have vents, optics and a gun laying drive, but I'm thinking a rotation mechanism or VStab might be a better third option.

I have vents-g stab-aiming class in that order. Is it the best? idk, but gun feel is more important to me than pretty much anything in this game.

Some of the people playing this game are so loving fragile.

Our only SPG was sitting stationary in spawn without even moving his gun for two minutes, so I pinged the map to see if he was alive. He started raging about it in chat, asking why the gently caress I was pinging him and then said that if this was the kind of game it was, he wasn't going to play and presumably quit out.

Because I pinged him on the map once.

Well he's playing arty. He's either doing it because he loves arty, hates other people, or grinding just to unlock tanks. In any of those cases he's already half way to rage quitting time. It only takes a little bit from that point to fly into an uncontrollable fury.

To me arty is the chillest class. I barely even care about anything when I'm just clicking poo poo.

The worst part about playing arty is that you have a front-row seat for how lovely your team is playing.

Oh yeah, that's 100% true. That loving tank is sitting RIGHT THERE. SOMEONE SHOOT IT! IT'S STUNNED AND ALL!

And yet that stunned tank just picks off half the team.

It's been awhile since I had a great game, while this is nothing too spectaicular I am happy with the damage I put out. Also the IS-3-II is fantastic.

Bah poo poo I was setting up something and missed it. Didn't have credits anyway, so it was not for gold? Interesting...

I've been playing the Bisonte in an effort to get something out of the tank and I just can't. The thing feels like hot garbage. Bad armour, bad speed, awful gun handling, garbage penetration with standard shells.

I kinda feel like I'm missing something, but knowing it caused Skill to ragequit several games, I'm thinking the tank might just be bad. But if someone has figured it out, help a guy out would you?

I tried to get the gun to be the best it could and the only way I could was to use vents, aiming class and v-stab. I tried to use rotation and GLD, but they didn't feel as good as the combo I settled on.

I've got vents and rotation mechanism on mine at least, not sure about the third slot. But I'll give aiming and v-stab a try, thanks!

Incidentally: I've also been playing the M54 Renegade, and when that thing comes up in the Black Market, it's a really good buy. Possibly my favourite T8 heavy right now. Nice gun handling, decent speed, great armour (if you're using the monstrous gun depression right). It's just fun to play.
