If you can play the E100 properly you can shoot gold all the time and still make a profit, or break even if you bounce or miss a couple of shots.

Maybe a stupid question, but if I complete a mission, can I claim the reward later? I don't quite know what kind of crew I want, yet.
Also, on the topic of tanks with easy requirements for marks of excellence, after 38 games my Fury is already at 68,4% :toot:

You guys have no clue about how the eu server works if you think that you can troll it in English. No one will even understand a word of it. The new Xvm feature that shows the client language revealed that only a fraction of the players use the English client.

Is the AMX 13 90 actually good outside tier 8 strongholds?
So far it seems aggressively mediocre compared to the AMX 50 100, where the 1390 have less pen, worse MM, but better camo.
It is not helped by being matched with medium tanks that can do the same role.
Or maybe I am just bitter about my current 25% win rate in it after 20 games or so.

You can easily get 70% win rate in it solo if you play it smart. It's a great tank. The speed and the size are there to help you get out of trouble, not in trouble.

Not compatible with the newest versions, sorry. But I'll play a couple of games and if I get a good game, I'll send you a PM. For the moment, don't discard your camo: it's really your biggest asset.

Any replay is actually interesting (well not those where you get fragged right away), because just seeing initial positionings is interesting to me.
Don't have PM though.

Here, watch this: http://wotreplays.com/site/1572330#fiery_salient-cippalippus-amx_13_90

In this replay nothing out of ordinary happens, it's just a normal game with an AMX 13 90.
Keep this in mind:

1) I only shoot gold with it, but standard ammo would've had the same penetrations. I use APCR for the shell speed, the added penetration is nice but not game breaking.
2) Your first duty is to take out the enemy scouts and in general make them feel hunted.
3) You only shoot when you can, leaving the actual shooting to the others.
4) Don't take damage if it's not necessary. It's never necessary, by the way.
5) See the friendly bulldog? That's an excellent place to go, too, but makes for a more static game.

Have fun.

At that tier 500 damages are a huge gently caress you. Also you really want to minimize the time you're exposed to enemy fire. How many times do you have the chance to fully exploit sustained dpm without being hit back? Not many.

You should see the meltdown some supposed "vet" had in the Armored Warfare alpha forums. The M1 Abrams was not sufficiently powerful enough for his tastes and he proceeded to have a raging meltdown towards any poster that dared say the Abrams is at best comparable to other western nation MBT's but nobody really knows because they have never fought each other ever. Then he spouts some poo poo about insulting those who served in tanks and blah blah make Abrams more powerful to honour vets or some poo poo.


He is not a mod nor is he an employee of My.com or Obsidian btw.

About the Indian pander, I quite liked it. The turret isn't very bouncy and the aim time isn't good, but it's an ok tank. The only t8 medium that stands heads and shoulders above the rest is the Object 216, anyway. The Panther 2, I still have it in my garage but it's more an emotional thing because I used to love it and do great in it. Now it's just bad.

Not that I've played in the last months anyway.

Disclaimer: my opinion might be wrong or bad.
The Action X is rather underwhelming, so far. Maybe I need to get used to it, but the turret is penetrated way too easily for my taste. Good gun handling though, and it's nice to go faster than 40km/h with a high tier british tank.
