Looks like 9.3 is going live later today. Lots of changes, including the loss of my beloved KV-1S and its OP gun. http://worldoftanks.com/en/news/pc-browser/17/update-93/On a side note, does anyone here belong to a clan that's looking for moderately decent players (53% win, 1700+ WN8) with 9 tier 10's unlocked who tend to, on occasion, berate bad players when they do bad things?

I really hate that WoT rewards camping. It's a smart strategy, but watching purples do it makes me cringe. Good one to end the mission on: Battle: Fiery Salient Vehicle: WZ-111 model 1-4 Experience received: 2,532 Credits received: 111,110 Battle achievements: Top Gun, High Caliber, Confederate, Master Gunner, Mastery Badge: "Ace Tanker" Mission completed! Reward: Compensation for Type 64 gold 3,500 Slots added: 1 WN8: 11 660 That's insane Aba. You're making me glad that I bought that tank. Now I just need to save for upgrades!

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 bought the first new American light, I'm looking forward to the one with a 10 shot clip. After 2-3 battles I'm pretty sold on the T37. The M41 bulldog will be a beast.
Also after two days of hitting my head against the wall with endless 37% teams, I've been getting 60% teams all day.

But are they actually winning?

Is anyone else having trouble with the OMC modpack? The installer is just sending me to a homepage type place rather than to an updated version.
EDIT: Never mind. They changed how you update to the new client installer and I figured it out.

Update on the bulldog walker. I just had a 4k damage 6 kill game. It might be the most fun tank I have ever played. You are basically a batchat with 4 more shots.

Managed to build up almost 50k in free xp doing the medium mission and now have to decide what to do with it. I'm debating getting out of the IS8 since playing a fat medium isn't much fun, but think that upgrading the 111-4 may be a better use for the xp.
Watching you guys put up monster games in the 111 has me leaning in the upgrade direction.

I used the 50k to upgrade the tracks and turret. Now a 66k grind to the gun. Ugh.

Watching Jingles or Quickybaby on youtube I always marveled the they had millions of free XP just sitting there. Even if they got some sort of weird Press thing going on the amount that they must play is soul crushing.

It took me about 3 weeks of play to save up 50k. If I were as good as they are, I'd have double that. It's really not hard if you play tanks that you enjoy while saving free xp.

Was watching Quickybaby's stream and he put up a 2098 xp game in the M41 bulldog... it was a 2nd class medal. His match included Tank sniper and a scout medal.
Apparently people are doing pretty well in it.

The Type 62 was such a pain in the ass to get I think I may hate it without having actually played it.

I played a match in it. It's an interesting tank. It's a light version of the type 59. I may have to put 100 or so games on it. It has decent pen with gold rounds, but they're ungodly expensive (4400 or 4800) for the damage they do.

Got the Walker Bulldog today. Oh, man This thing is awesome. Averaging around 1500 damage with it in tier 7 & 8 games. Damage goes down quite a bit in higher tier games but its still fun as hell. 10 round auto-loader=win.

I'm wondering if the non-autoloader gun is the way to go on that. It's fun to unload a clip, but it has a 2 second reload and 34 second clip change while the top gun has just over a 3 second reload and you don't have to wait for the clip.

Katiri and I decided that the non-autoloader was the way to go on the T37, but I haven't played the Bulldog yet so I don't know.

I haven't gotten to that one yet. I'll check it out when I do. The auto loader is still a lot of fun.

Ha- I was just coming to post that. Hey, have some crew XP that you could earn in 4 hours. Actually I am secretly relieved...doing both the light and medium missions this month has really taken its toll. I could use a break from 60+ matches per day.

15 kills is pretty easy. 7-15 battles depending on the breaks. Thing is you'll earn more crew xp doing that on one night than the mission reward. Two garage slots is I guess something.

I've had a hard time wanting to log on after the medium event. I was hoping that the October event would help with this. I'm not sure it will.

In the midst of my 38% win 1600+ WN8 session last night, I wrote a haiku-
Pubbies hate to win Why are they so fucking awful? I wish they would die
3/8 so far today, 1700+WN8. I am shitty at carrying, obviously.

What tanks are you playing? It's almost impossible to carry in lights, arty, and TD's. If you want to win, stick to mobile heavies and mediums that can bounce a shot here and there. To be fair, my 60 WR took a dump dropping from 59% to about 55%.

That usually makes me crabby in a big hurry. I totally get it. Hopefully things will turn around. I find that right now is the best time of day to play.
