Tannhauser, let me know if you need the TS info again.
He WAS very quiet, now that I think of it. Next clan war might feature us all running bt2s or something similiar hillarious. I think we are pretty far away from being actually able to invade spain in earnest.

I am liking my Lowe alot... I am working though on my t34(need about 40k exp and 1.5mil credits I think still) and then I will start working towards paying for my Ferdi (have it researched) and my Tiger. I have 39 tanks now... I think I like my Stug III the best though. That and the little T2 German premium(even with the recent matchmaking changes it is still a nasty little tank). With the recent half price ammo sale I bought some gold ammo for my VK3601(H) and its conical gun the thing is a beast tricked out like that. All in all a very fun game.

Had our second clan battle last night. We had about 9 tanks, highest rank was three tier 8 and one Pershing. The other team was full, with an IS-7 and a median tier of 8. 3 Tier 6 artillery.
We were of course wiped out, but I think that considering the odds, we acquitted ourselves decently. We took out the IS-7 and four other tanks before we were overwhelmed.
We do need more members, but I'm not too concerned. I do not want the clan to turn to compulsory grinding or whatever.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

That is great approach. But as a clan you guys probably need to decide whether you need presence on global map or not . Because if you do it has to be conscious commitment to be able to field 15 tier10 every day (not that it will be necessary every day, but might turn to that at times). In a month there will be no clans on GC without such teams.

8/9/10 are a smaller subsection of the playerbase. Trying to appeal to the 5% at the expense of the 95% makes you a niche title.
Already a niche title and already catering to that sub section of the playerbase.

In a month there will be no clans on GC without such teams. I'm sure that with a steady recruitment tickle, and time, we'll all have our Tier 10 tanks. Then its a matter of skill, and I know that a fair number of our players in the clan have a good sense for the game. Its more of a matter of time rather than 'if', since its not like some MMO with infinite levels of upgrading where a FoH can distinguish itself against another uber clan because it has equipped each member with a belt from Sleeper's Tomb.

Every match tonight I've wound up solo defending the primary attack route and getting my ass swarmed while my team derps around. Sigh.

I see one small clan on the US server that has the right idea. They are at around 50 members and have captured three 4000+ gold provinces. Because of the battle mechanics they won't face more than 3 battles a night and the provinces are spread across the battle start times so they can focus on them one at a time. They can field 3 teams with multiple tier 10s on all of them supported by tier 8 arty and many tier 9 mediums. Every day they hold the provinces they can pay their members 200 gold, they don't have to mess with alliances or defending an 'empire' they just rake in the money.

Uhm, BG has 100 members. They were one of the top clans in beta. They are good players, no doubt, but I don't think they are this ragged bunch of leet A Team members you describe.
I dunno, ask Amarr. He's with BG.

Yeah, I was confused. Then again I discovered there's more to the map than just Europe like yesterday. My Little Pwnies has like 50 dudes though.
How does everyone feel about not having any tracers visible for a month or two?

I'm torn. On the one hand, arty hunting with an arty is boring as all knows, and I sorta feel put upon to hunt them when I'd rather be nuking the heavies. On the other hand, if folks were up and up cheating by changing the tracer files to make them permanent/visible, then ya, they gotta go till its fixed.

What do you do when you are attacked by just 1 tank in Clan Wars and are on the map where you have to go down into and then climb out of a very steep canyon? You tell everyone to get in their fastest tank. You also let in all the clan member that don't usually get to participate in clan wars because they not high enough tier. When that one tank turns out to be a light tank you have even more fun with it.

Funny, although I thought that only tier 5 and higher tanks could participate in a clan wars battle.

Also, how did a solitary tier 1 tank fuck up your tank that badly?

Only members that have a tier 5 or higher provide a chip to be played on the map. You can send what ever tank you want into the actual battles. If you ever do a company battle the team setup is a lot like that. It is also close to setting up a training battle except you don't see the other team. The screen shot was made by someone else so it is not even my tier 2 tank that is injured. I was not even in the battle just listening in. It also took some time to get the entire team of tanks over to this one and surround it that way which gave the guy some time to shoot.

I'm in Tier 5 (T-34) now and having fun. I'm interested in the global game, but we don't have the numbers yet correct?

Neither the numbers nor the tank levels yet, I'm afraid. Evil Chickens is gonna have to wait a few months. We have good enough players, but the majority are not quite past tier 5, and we need tier 9 meds and tier 10 heavies to compete consistently.

Wow. Yeah, it will take quite a while to get up to Tier 9. I guess that's why they want you to buy the premium tanks.

In honor of D-day garage slots are half price. So are a couple of US premium tanks. I just bought a shit-load of slots.
Ends on 6/6/11.

For some reason I don't own a single US tank. Too many ahistorical models. I bought one garage slot, but have been selling old tanks (God the A20 let me down) to make room for my new rides. I like how you can transfer crews.
Artillery is eroding my enjoyment of this game. It's World of Tanks, not World of Chicken-Shit Rat Bastards.
Full disclosure: I own a Wespe but I don't run it that often.

That changes in the upper tiers, arty gets scarce and you see almost all heavies.
