They are why I am still grinding all the arty lines. Oh how they cry when I pen them for 70+% of their health. It is wonderful.

I am finally getting the hang of using Battle Assistant. I might start carrying AP rounds now e- just gave up playing for the night. started 4 for 20, ended 8 for 33 or something. With a ~1500 WN8 for the day. Just the worst fucking trash on my team game after game. |

I started using the new arty mod yesterday. Its fucking cool. Also, with the Conq GC you get to see up close what a wacky arc that gun has. Nothing is really safe.

Seeing a shell hit home is really cool too. Seeing the RNG screw you and have it fly off to the side sucks though  |

What is this arty mod? |

It is called Battle Assistant. When you are in overhead view in arty, you can press G to see the shot from a different view (between your tank and the target) to give you a much better idea of how the shell will travel and where it will hit on the target. It is nifty.

I was called upon to play my Gun Carriage in CW last night (which basically never happens). I'm not using the mod, but I one-shotted a 50b. That was fun.

I one shotted an E3 with the GC day before yesterday. Team still lost miserably. |

The only arty I enjoy playing is the British tier 6. You might be lucky to one shot an Loltraktor with it but its fun and satisfying to take little nibbles out of the big tanks and keeping them perma tracked. |

Yeah the perm-tracking thing is the best. Unless you are on the receiving end. I DREAD seeing those in the hands of non-retards on the other team. Death by paper cuts.

With WG's crack team, I am sure that will be patched in time for the tricentennial celebrations in the US.

I've been against using any mods in games until recently, but this thing really improves the artillery game. Well, at least it does for people playing artillery. It makes it so much more fun and easy that I'd be worried it was considered a cheat, but WG gave them an award for it. Prior to this it took a fair amount of luck or a lot of skill to hit specific areas on tanks with arty, but with this it's like sniping from safety. It's not quite as big a deal with the Object 212, that thing still either misses completely or wrecks it's target. My British and French artillery are a lot more effective using it. |

 Yeah, I can safely say there is no fucking chance I will be doing that. And I might just shoot anyone with a WZ-111 straight away.

I'll probably do it. Nothing else to do in the game but do missions really. With the breaks from work over the next month shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The gift tank? I don't think it has been in the NA game to this point other than in supertest.

It's not the one with armor that nothing it can be matched against can penetrate if that's the one you're thinking of. That one is the Ausf J. The code from the retail box will apparently work on the other servers, it just costs $170 to get the box and have it shipped to the States. |

Jesus...no one but you managed to do to at least 500 damage. I'm guessing the 2 tier 6 heavies that survived stayed in back the whole time and didn't push? |

Well, the fact they survived proves that they had the right plan. The rest of you just didn't camp hard enough. |

Not really. There's ways to get some free stuff as a new player but its all low end stuff. Like most MMO's (though this is not really an MMO) that have been around for awhile, most of the population is at the higher end of the game. Link below gets you a few freebies if your interested, NA servers only. http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/577/World-of-Tanks-Holiday-Gift-Giveaway.html |

Can't remember if I ever aced this before, but this was quite a game in my Type 59. Was alone in the center of the map after a T 29 gave his life away. Spotted for arty and took snapshots until we cleared it, then swung to the back side of the north push and finished that off. Then over to the cap to hide behind the rock and peekaboo with the last 3 tanks. Thankfully our arty was competent or it would have been a sure loss. 2500+ damage bounced, another 2500+ spotted, 2718 done with 5 kills.
