Oh look, i don't camp with this thing, nor any heavy all the time. It just really depends how the battle is going.
I usually support the other heavy's with sustained fire and movement.
On occasions, if things are progressing quickly towards a win, i will push on towards cap, with a medium or another heavy as support.
It's all about looking at the mini map and communicating ingame.
I don't EVER get caught alone anywhere on the map, and certainly don't rush out and spearhead an attack.
That is not the role of the Löwe.

With my tiger 2 i usualy sit near base for abit, wait to see if i was matched up with idiots. which is almost 2/3 of the time...

Then i find a nice place at range (a hill with a house, rock, ect) and snipe.

Aye sounds good, but you have to be careful sometimes haha. More then once I've been caught napping and feeling comfortable only to be awakened by a team mate yelling at me to move up, or worse an arty strike knocking out my engine.

Might I ask what nation you're using Mr.Chris? If you like to sit back and snipe, I would definitely recommend the German Heavy line. The Vk3601H is an awesome machine with a set of accurate fast firing guns, it also pulls in some decent cash and exp. After that the Tiger I is a bit of a struggle (someone on the forums actually found driving backwards gave them more of an advantage.. if that doesn't show its gimpiness to the devs I don't know what will) and then its on to the superb Tiger II

Yea, I can attest to that.
Played a game not 5 mins ago and was last man standing.
It happened so quickly, one minute we were 5:4, then, because i was too busy relocating and killing, I didn't have time to look on score board, I found myself back at base, stopping enemy cap and then I realised, all but me left!
Took out 4 of them, before they got me.
Fail team for sure, but that's life.

Yep, been cuaght out by arty and not looking at mini map and suddenly i get concentrated fire from an enemy which appeared behind me. Wouldn't have been surprised if i looked on the mini.
In the heat of the battle it can go pear-shaped very quickly, due to not monitoring :haha:

The 6.6 patch is imminent, Russian servers live already, with the rest of us following, hopefully by tomorrow.
Although Devs have said 8th-12th.
So could be a few days yet.
Can't wait to play the new map, Siegfried Line!
Looks nice, watched the promo video for 6.6.

Had a similar experience, Me and a American TD V about 9-11 enemy tanks, i got 5 kills, he got 6 (damn last shot kills)

ah, good last stands.:DL

6.6 update today, servers come up withing the hour though.

6.6 looks nice, looking forward to getting the E-75 and E-100.

Game client still linking to 6.5 patch. Shouldn't be too much longer before patch work is done and game patch goes live.

EDIT: Now downloading patch, size 264.46MB.

EDIT 2: Any of you guys use jsgme for mod enabling?
I do, although i have installed a lot via manual, because a lot of the mods don't come with the proper folder structure included.
I'm starting to go through all my mods and giving them the right folder structure which inturn will make then jsgme compatible.

I now have.

Tiger 2, T 34 85 (well actually it should be T 34 100) and a Jagdpanzer 4.

If you guys want to put some much-needed freshness into the game, then install this sound mod:
http://mirtankov.net/soundtracs/511-...-14-27-10.html

I've got the German music one and it's awesome, listening to Radetzky's Marsch or Deutschmeister Marsch whilst driving my German tanks around!
There's a Russian version as well.
:rock:

:yeah: Thanks Feuer

Will get it as soon as I'm back home.

Thx now for some Soviet music. It just happens all my tanks are Soviet's.

It's amazing how much this sound mod has improved the game! Rolling along to this is awesome. My win rate has improved (or so I feel) and it's just much more fun playing with new and more authentic music. :rock:
