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.

:haha: How'd you manage that?

Also, 10k from the L/71 :D

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. :nope::nope::nope::nope::nope:

UPDATE: Less than 40 k for my KT!!! woohhooo. smashing this aweful grind.

Birthday presents!:woot:

Nice one Frei, just had 3 matches in a row of 1.5k in my Tiger I. Have about 4k to the Long 88 then it's on to grind the Panther. If I can reach that and start on the KT before next Thursday I'll be really happy.

Ah started using my first Artillery tank yesterday, the Wespe.
Got to say it is very different going to take some time to get used too.
Also I just keep failing to get the top gun achievement. I have had 5 kills in one game with 6 different tanks now. I beging to think im cursed.
Oh well back to the Grind.
Need another:
15,000 XP for the VK3100P
80,000 XP for the IS3
11,000 XP for the Grille
23,000 XP for the M36 Slugger

Finally!!! Here she is, my new Toy:

Just a few quick upgrades, then I'll load the rest of the primary modules.
Now for the arduous grind to the E-75! Rock on, Tankers!
EDIT: Just ran 3 games with this and what a Beauty to drive! The KT is actually considered to be the best tier 8 stock tank. I'm still looking at suspension, turret, engine and gun upgrade, in that order. But boy is this nice to drive. This is a keeper in my garage.

Why are all Ya'lls tanks scrunched up???
Don't ya'll know how to set yer screens?????

Just got the long 88 on the Tiger and boy is it a lot funner to drive now that I can two shot most T5s. Awesome gun. Now to start on the Panther!

It's the way the screen shots work, it seems with me anyway.
When looking at newly-made screen shot it's fine.
Nothing wrong from my end when playing or indeed screen-shotting things, it's after I post screenies that it seems to bunch up the pic.

Nice one. :up:

Just had an awesome time platooning with SgtPotato. Really recommend it to people.

Also gonna do a sidetrek from the Panther and get the Su-85 closed compartment first.

Unlocked the T95, just need the credits to buy the thing:D

That thing is a monster.

Just curious Guys,
how much XP can you Guys rattle up in a Day's play?
Also what is your overall Hit Rate Percentage? To total games played?
My Hit rate overall sits on 59% with 1223 games played.
I can usually tally up about 30K to 35K XP in a day's play.

Sigh just when i thought I was through grinding in this game. :roll:

I'm now grinding my way to IS-4. :shifty:

Just bought the KV-3 today.

I'm planning to get the IS-4 by January 2012.

Because the world is going to end by February 12th 2012 :O:

About 90K to go for the E-75!!!

Congrats Frei. Still haven't started on the KT myself, but I'm considering it. How has it been so far?

It's funny, in the span of what would normally net me 10-25k last night I managed to get around 40k. Used free exp to go from Su-76 to the Su-85, get a fully elited Wespe (minus Hummel) and the other T2 SPG froms cratch, get an elited (minus Jpanther) Stug as well as the new tracks on my Tiger and finally got 4k from KV. Wow!

Now how come when I grind for the KT it seems to take so much longer :haha:
