RobSheffield Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 ok playing it but i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing!! Whats not to get, you drive a tank and shoot people. how on earth do i get started Ok, you start off with only very basic tanks unlocked. You fight 15 vs 15. Starting with very early WW2 stuff and the more battles you win/more tanks you destroy/damage the more experience you get to unlock better tanks and upgraded guns, turrets and tracks. Its realistic damage and realistic tanks and their upgrades (you cant upgrade any one tank over and above what it would have really had during the war), it is supposed to be balanced too so you dont get starter tanks up against Tigers. Its a little bit addictive, but its nothing like as bad as WoW (although i play that too), always fun having an awesome battle, killing 5-7 other tanks and wondering what would have happened if you had the next gun unlocked etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Mine is guigsy. Quite enjoying it but only won one battle lol. Only played a few hours so far and learning what half the stuff does. First ever game. I spawned and everyone's tanks disappeared but i could still see the green indicators. Then my own teammate killed me. Before I could get out of the base. Then another time but later on, the same map as it happens, I spawned with 0 ammo. Most I've managed is 4 kills in a single mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most I've managed is 4 kills in a single mission. Wierd, iv seen the green tank colour thing, but never on all tanks. Some of the lowbie games can be a bit crap, with just kids blasting each other, but it can be ok at lower levels. Upper levels are either very easy or VERY hard. The only way to spawn with 0 ammo is to not remember to resupply or to not have auto resupply on 4 per mission is good With only 15 to kill, have a couple of guys doing 4 or 5 each will win a battle. Ill add you to my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 i was playing for a few hours earlier. turned into a bit of a grind. maxed out my american tank. played a game till i died then played a game in my german tank till i died. by that time the american tanks game had finished... repeat. eventualy earned 1500 and decided to buy a tank distroyer (a german one) then quickly realised you have about 15 deg turret movement which is a bit annoying... i wouldnt say i get 4 kills each game. i got 4 once. usualy manage 1 or 2 was frustrated at not being able to see much to shoot at. then realised a radio upgrade would change that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah noticed you had done a few battles. TD's are fine for when that 15 degrees isnt an issue, hiding in the bushes and sniping. To be fair, the Marder II and Stug III are good Tank Destroyers, as is the SU85 on the Russian side, not done many US TD's yet. Yeah, not often i get more than 3-4 a game, depends on the other team really. If you group with another 2 decent players and stick together it can be a great laugh. Yeah radio and skilled commander improve what you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Decided to sell my tank destroyer. I was hitting tanks 3-4 times and not killing them even with a decent gun. then someone else steals the kill and because I've been sat blasting away I then get killed. Lol Got an American medium tank now but only played one game with it. I noticed people seemed to kill me real easy with the high rate of fire guns on the light tanks. yet when I try one. It's decking useless. My game must be bugged to make my guns crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
