[spoiler=M48 Patton]The T8 gun is there for historical accuracy reasons.

Basically they get T9/10 heavy penetration stats with great dpm and ridiculously good mobility.

I firmly believed that EvE-O was the last true bastion of complete wankers who has absolutely no knowledge about game mechanics rushing towards endgame until I saw idiots in Tier7 and Tier8 tanks throw themselves like lemmings at enemy TDs

This is the very first screenshot taken of what would eventually become World of Tanks. (note they stole somebody's engine for it)

This game just got a whole lot better.

dat ELC AMX.

**jimmychrist** · 2012-08-01

Oh they buffed russians how unexpected

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2012-08-01

Months away I would think.

They have just released 7.5 and British tanks will be done sometime after 8.0

**Night** · 2012-08-01

They're not terrible about keeping up with patches though, you get one or two a month, and the schedule can be kinda leapy.

I'm not really sure what's between here and there after the inevitable rebalancing patch for 7.5

**Chipmunk McPaul** · 2012-08-01

nerfed into the ground rather yo

the russians that is.

took away the 107 on the su-85 and removed the 100mm from the t34-85 and the t43

which ruins them

**Night** · 2012-08-01

And they buffed armor and mobility on pretty much all the IS series, which makes them even more hilariously broken.

**Night** · 2012-08-02

7.5 is live, and it appears they actually are proceeding directly into 8.0; they've already got a preliminary patch notes up for it.

Actually from those notes they might be releasing the Brits earlier, as 8.0 is scheduled to include the first Brit premium but nothing about the Brit line.

**Chipmunk McPaul** · 2012-08-03

Not sure what you mean with the IS line being broken.

the 34-85 actually got ninja-buffed, the new engine makes it insanely mobile, means it can do without the 100mm.

and that ELC is literally the ultimate funtank, turns out that some tanks don't have enough turret-depression to hit it when it's hugging their hulls...

Enjoy it while you can, these people are great at handing out severely OP tanks for money and then nerfing them into oblivion down the line.

Type 59, KV-5 etc.

Don't you have better things to blow your cash on?

The ELC is in the standard French line, you're showing your failure to log in or pay attention to the news.

Boosh. He gotcha Burnesie old son.

**jimmychrist** · 2012-08-08

I have the credits for the E-100 but I'm afraid of taking the plunge, I gather it's awful beyond measure. And that's saying something considering the sorry state of this shitty game.

Your credits, Give them to me.

**Bowkers** · 2012-08-09

So i started playing again..i fucking suck too.

Needs second gun and gold ammo to be effective. That should tell you pretty much all you need to know.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah no I think not

Granted I haven't played since the Russian changes.

In general this is true, gold ammo isn't needed to be effective. However when it comes to the E-100, since they nerfed it, when going against other T10s you somewhat do need gold ammo to be effective in that tank.

You, on the other hand, did not.

I left you a message on your profile. If you're going to comment - make sure you are right. Your revenge neg rep was, however, rather pathetic.

Why don't you go create another failed alliance about it?

**Securitas** · 2012-08-09

Guys this isn't EOU =/

**zenthral** · 2012-08-09

This shit is grindy as fuck and full of fucking nerds that do stupid shit all the time yet I kinda keep playing it on and off. Still only on a III/IV and leopard like a baddie.

**Bowkers** · 2012-08-09

Yeah the grind is pretty bad. Level 3 too just about to get my level 4 tank.

**Bobby Bobster** · 2012-08-09

The grind gets worse as you move up the tiers but you learn to live with it as you need to spend a lot of time in the higher level tanks in order to skill up your crews.

The pain in the arse I have is a lack of credits. I have 6 tanks, 4 of which are maxed out but I can't afford the next tier up. So I just beat my head against the wall and watch the crew skills and perks increase by 1% every 5 battles.

**Bowkers** · 2012-08-09

I remember when I first played this and the grind between a....3001H and a 3001P (I think??!) was horrible

I think anyway.....

**zenthral** · 2012-08-09

it's the xp that annoys me, as I can rake in cash quite consistently in my tier 5 medium. Liking the flank tank game play though.

Oh, and fuck ELCs forever those things fucking own.

**jimmychrist** · 2012-08-10

World of Powercreep

**Night** · 2012-08-10

8.0 appears to have the new physics engine.

**Brooks Puuntai** · 2012-08-10

I've been trying to play without premium however can't seem to resist wanting to banging my head against the wall. The payout and xp gained is such shit on a non paid account, in most tanks(T6+) you have to do awesome in order to break even credit wise. XP wise gaining 200-300xp per game when you have 50k+ needed to not make your tank shit anymore is terrible. The credit issue isn't that big of a deal due to premium tanks and T5, but fuck the XP.

**xutech** · 2012-08-10

World of robots is good at the moment, I don't know how long it will last in the long term, but perhaps it's worth a look for you.

**Jovan Geldon** · 2012-08-11

You know, I would enjoy this game a lot more if I didn't keep dying because "Yeah this incline is fine" and "Nope, gonna bring you to a complete standstill here" are completely fucking indistinguishable from one another

**jimmychrist** · 2012-08-11

Every time I get stuck on terrain, permanently or otherwise, I remember a line from one of their patch notes a while back. It was something like "fixed collision, players will no longer get stuck on terrain." Pfft.

Rumor has it, the new physics engine will allow this:

**Night** · 2012-08-13

Why the fuck are there MS-1s and T2 Lights and Loltraktors in there with an IS-7, a Type 59, and a Maus?

Probably because it's just some in-house test or something. v0v

Also, I want to be able to drive over every edge there is at full speed and fuck my own shit up because I missed that nerd I was aiming for.

**Night** · 2012-08-13

I was figuring it was just because they'd go flying through the air when hit by the Maus or something.

**Galtiner** · 2012-08-14

That image must be nearly a year old so a lot has probably changed with the physics engine by now.

**true** · 2012-08-14

physics will change gameplay alot, probably food chains as well

**jimmychrist** · 2012-08-14

No, I don't think it will. Unless WG comes to their senses and either removes or drastically changes how artillery functions, this game will probably remain favoring the defenders and the campers.

**true** · 2012-08-14

I can argue that arty specifically counters those who likes to find a spot and do damage from there unmolested (aka campers)
removing it will turn the game into long primitive head-on shell exchanges.

Artillery favors the side that's in motion, which is usually the offense.
