Got the Tiger I, plays O.K. Don't have much for her, save for the Short 88, 2nd Engine and the upgraded radio. All from other tanks, however, I think I'm going to split time grinding the turret and L/71 between it and my Lowe, then I'm doing a 64k grind through 3002DB to Panther. Hopefully I'll have both the Tiger and the Panther, as they were in WW2, in my garage by the time I leave back for school next Thursday.
Also, sadly I'm giving up the Konisch/Gold rounds duo on my Vk3601 as it's getting expensive and I don't need to use it that much anymore. Better to get used to the L/56 and the Long 75. See you out there!

Good luck with the stock tiger. The stock turret is a nightmare, and the short 88 is worthless against anything at, or above your tier.

Keep in mind that the video I posted is only a work in progress, just to show off the physics capabilities.
You won't be flying or turning 360 degrees, performing barrel rolls whilst shooting. I t looks awesome, word is if your tank rolls over, you will die, or if your tank lays on its side, etc etc. Can't wait for this to implement. Quote:
Once you upgrade Maybach engine and upgrade to the long 8'8 gun, things are a little better in it. I make a habit of not entering battle with a newly-bought tank, especially if I haven't any upgrades for it to mount prior. I have a golden rule for newly-aquired tanks: I'm playing heavies so this is most prevalent to them, but upgrade-wise, always always always upgrade gun. First and foremost. Gun gun gun. Can't say it enough. Also, sadly I'm giving up the Konisch/Gold rounds duo on my Vk3601 as it's getting expensive and I don't need to use it that much anymore.

Actually, I'm doing quite well with the Short 88 (was used to it on my Vk before I used the Konisch). Had a few 1.4k exp games but most are in the 800-1k range.
The one thing I don't like about it atm is that I can't go hull down since I'm pretty sure my mantlet is weaker then my front glacis. Edit: Currently at about 9k exp into it, have 2 more to the turret then I've got the Gun. If anyone wants to platoon up I'm online now

How's this for new physics ingame. It's the Mines map, I lost 75% health because I couldn't get free.
We ended up winning, and I survived. |

Bloody hell, I just had a match where a A-20 was right up my backside, when playing my Tiger 1. I was pot-shotting from the side of a cliff-face, with the chance of moving back and forth out and in from cover, like peek-a-boo.
Anyways, this retard A-20 came right up and stopped me from moving back. I lost 30% of my health. Asked him to move back he wouldnt. Asked him again, this time not so nicely, still no reply. So, I swung my turret around and warned him i-ll 1-shot him. Still no reply, so I shot him, he shot back, only chipped the paint work, and I shot him again, killing him /rant. Retards. UPDATE: Less than 40 k for my KT!!! woohhooo. smashing this aweful grind. Last edited by Feuer Frei!; 08-19-11 at 04:28 AM. |
