You'll rule the day Trebek :)

OK I got the Stug A, and then got bombed by a Stuka  :). Baby steps

Get the first StuG with the longer 75.  Melt faces. 

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can get into a PzIV with the long 75 at around the same battle rating.  Although that line gets stuck for awhile with it while the TD line moves up to JgPzIVs.

while not the same game the Stug  with the L/70 in by far my favorite WoT tank with almost 3500 matches in it alone.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Will do.  Funny I'm researching both at the moment (still learning the mechanics here).

Same here, that's still  my favorite  along with the classic Shermie.  I couldn't make it past tier 6-7 (panther was the farthest I went). Should have invested less all over the place in the beginning years I guess.

I stuck to German tanks only from the beginning.  what my Stug crew can do now often gets me called a haxor.  :smitten:

SDR how are you finding the Russian line so far?

I'm working on my Stug, but debating between on which other Tier I tank to unlock PzIII & PzIV route (before going to tier II).

my 2c if you are interested:  haven't played for a number of months but made it to T-54 (back before they added the T54 1947).  The T-34-57 is completely worth the gold, a great credit maker and researcher.   I'm not to the IS-3 in the heavy line yet, the IS2 is kind of an interesting sniper.  Seems to either 1 shot or do no damage.  Can be very useful for taking out a dug in heavy or TD that is wreaking havoc.  The reload time is insane, so be prepared to shoot and scoot and have a good crew. 

The medium line was decent, though the T-44 gun seemed a tad anemic at higher tier fights you usually found yourself in.  The T-34-85 could hit hard (for its tier) but has poor rewards.   They might have added some new AP rounds for the T-44, they certainly reworked the icons (which I find kind of lame).   I made it to the Ausf G on the German side and I preferred the Russian meds for the most part, at least with how the maps play out.

If I remember right too, the German mediums had a dumpster reverse gear which could be problematic in certain situations and the Russian meds were much improved in this area.

Thanks Dread, food for thought.  The game has improved a lot since I first tried out several months ago.

Things are really chaotic right now with the introduction of the US tanks and the random mixing of the nationalities and tiers so it's kind of hard to get a read on how things are going as we're currently seeing battles with Tigers vs. BT-7s.  Lots of whining about the US 105 HVSS Sherman being OP.  I just got my T-34 57mm a few days before the change so I didn't get a lot of time to see how it fared against the comparably tiered German line.  The gun is very accurate but doesn't penetrate heavies very well.  I find that the Soviet tanks turn much better than the Americans and have better speed than the Germans but they have poor stabilization so firing on the move is hard.  Turret traverse speeds aren't too hot either.  About the same as the Germans I think but much slower than the Americans.

Overpowered. 

Every time a new vehicle rolls out, many of those who end up facing it bitch that it's overpowered while many of those who are using it whine that it's nerfed.  The joys of online play.

Ah ok.  Similar as it was in World of Tanks/planes

Any MMO or competitive multi-player game, really.  ;)

Has anyone noticed that the new Europe Story missions or whatever they're called earn you crap for silver lions compared to what you used to make?  I would routinely pull in 13k silver lions or more when playing the realistic setting daily historic missions.  Now I get maybe 350 silver lions.  My performance is still the same, iow I get a kill or two and a few critical hits then die. 

Conversely I'm really raking in the lions playing as a bomber in arcade.

They've steadily nerfed the rewards, and increased the costs, since closed beta.
