Nope. Also, we don't have enough warm bodies for clan wars. Or anything else, really. Just enough to platoon up and commiserate on TS about the suboptimal abilities of our teammates.

I'd love to toon up with you and a few others sometime. I really could use a few lessons in how to play better. I seem to be good or terrible when I play and lack any kind of consistency.

Jump on TS! That is where we get organized. Play a few games with Engels or Ab and you will learn a ton. I might be of some help, but I still have a lot of bad instincts I need to drum out of myself.

Welcome to join Evils, Sir T. We got an assie, a brit, canuks up the rear. We're missing an irishperson.
Sounds like my clan, although we do have an Irish person, plus a German and a Bulgarian. Aussie. I meant aussie. Speaking of nationalities, anyone notice the 22k online last night, coinciding with Canadian Thanksgiving? I thought that was hilarious.

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

I'm confused. If I just bought stuff through the WoT webpage using my cc, am I at risk? I've never used that company to do anything directly.

From what I have been told (so, grain of salt and all that), PlaySpan handles some of their transactions. However, if you did not create a separate PS account, then you should be in the clear. That sounds too good to be true to me, so I am trying to confirm.

There's some really good replays out there and also strategy talk. I found both visiting the wiki and watching some explained videos very helpful.

Premium Time Discount: 10%
1 year - 21600g 6 months - 12150g 8.1 Patch Notes Published I didn't mind Prokhorovka Assault on the virtue of it being different from other assaults, having three points of assault over Malinovka's two, the ability to nuke hilldwellers and put a straightforward emphasis on cooperated maneuvers. As for premium ammo being sold through credits now I guess it's understandable considering WoT has a slight "pay2win" stigma from people speaking out of their ass to appease the lowest denominator. People who shoot premium ammo and know how it works will keep doing it, people who don't know how it works will spend gold on premium subcription/tanks for the extra credit income and finally find out (maybe). They'll have to add something that determines if you resupply automatically with gold or credits though. Of course they thought about it and added a toggle.

Prokhorovka Assault is all about teammwork. If you can cajole/threaten/beg the pubbies into doing what is needed, it is an easy (and fun) win from either side (although defense is easier). If 2 or 3 of your teammates don't cooperate, you are proper fucked.

Lately I've found people get behind my BP and shove me along, especially up hills. At first I thought they were being dicks, but then I realized It was making me go about twice as fast. Then when we get close to the fighting they break off and do their own thing. It's pretty nice.

Played a bit on the test server today with some brits. If people thought grinding up the french was bad, well: Tier V Churchill I, top speed: 25 km/h Tier VI Churchill II, top speed: 22 km/h (shares the same top motor with Churchill I - 350hp) Tier VII Churchill Black Prince, top speed: 20 km/h
Tier VIII is pretty fun though.

Jump on TS and 'toon up with us! It really helps to have good teammates, so platooning generally means you have 2 less mouthbreathing cretins on your team. Unless you are with me and I decide to kill myself out of spite for my team and to prevent the other team from harvesting me for XP and credits, that is

Thank the lord. They make the tank tree unreadable in 8.0, but don't fix the danged tank selection ribbon to make your garage more manageable. Someone needs to drive over to Moscow and smack those people with a Usability manual.

What makes me a little crazy is that in World of Warplanes you can filter by tier but in World of Tanks you can't. I know it's a minor thing but it would make platooning somewhat smoother if it was implemented.

That's just nation and type, not tier.
I suppose you could Primary the tier you want to play and check it for the duration of when you want to run that tier, but that is a bit of a pain.
