I just mean that you should be decisive and follow your team if you could use support or if there are enemies in the area But you also need to know when to break off on your own, since you seemed to fuss about with the Pz IV towards the end Though of course like you said that may have just been that match
I mean the name of the tank itself, and imo the health fraction is more useful than the percentage because you actually how long it would take to kill. Tank name is also useful to identify whether a tank is a threat or not
For some unfortunate reason I can't watch your M8A1 gameplay though

Re: World of TANKS
For my markers, I have vehicle tier (so I know my odds of survival against unknown tanks), vehicle name, and health bar with numbers.
I like to use these tank icons Since they show a good image of the tank, it's name, it's tier and it's country Plus it saves space which is nice

Re: World of TANKS
Installing the 8.3 update now, bit late on the draw. Going to invest some credits into the Chinese crew on my tier 1, because I would eventually like the final tier Chinese light tank. Hopefully it goes zoom zoom and packs some heat.
Also lol arty nerfs because WG can't implement a cap properly, so all arty players are punished.

Re: World of TANKS
Low tier Chinese tanks are mostly ♥♥♥♥, except maybe the Ch-ch-ch-chi-ha. In other news, fun game in my PzIII/IV. Really shoulda watched out for that derp Sherman.
EDIT: Okay, the Chi-Ha's pretty good when it's upgraded.

Re: World of TANKS
I'm not in the least interested in the Chinese tanks as I already played soviet tanks, but with gun-depression!
This awesome battle just got all my VK 3601 crew to 100%, they were at 99%.. but it's still good
Oh also I spotted this
In Seaport
Edit: And seriously, I know we've been through this before but it's impossible for me to have a nice game sometimes. The ♥♥♥♥ people, even at tier 8, who think it's somehow a good idea to rush on a map, and even worse rushing a goddam choke point. Whereas I am left to attempt to defend or attack an area by myself, and even asking for help when they are obviously losing does nothing. Oh and I'm not sure if playing arty has always been this gruelling, or it's just the nerf, but I find it literally impossible to play my M7 Priest now.
Yeah I find it unbelievable how he rapes with that thing
I finally got the Sherman Jumbo! I was working all my crew up to 100% and decided to sell some consumables to speed up the grind to 1,000,000 credits and I accidentally sold all my coffee Still the extra money helped in buying the upgraded equipment and retraining my crew Has anyone played the Jumbo before? Because I don't see much point in buying the upgraded turret, as it's much weaker, granted it has a better view range, traverse speed and it can mount a slightly faster firing gun, but it doesn't seem like much of a selling point to me The side and rear armour of the stock turret to the upgraded decreases from 152.4mm to 50.8mm, seems pretty rough

Re: World of TANKS
Good grief, I had a dream of World of Tanks merged with Men of War.
I was driving my Scott, like usual, and this guy in a Lee comes along blasting from all his weapons, even the little MGs, and he's basically cutting down my team because of the amount of firepower he has :O
I manage to nail a kill shot on his engine, and his crew burst out on fire. I hose them down with my own MG before they can run off and scout my team. Later in the match, I see someone, I think he was in a Panzer III, popping back and forth from cover on building, so I shoot through the building causing his cover to crumble.
Man, I wish WoT actually had some of those features. I remember the MGs caused your crew to panic, sort of like a temporary crew death. If your tank gets killed, one of your crew members pop out and you can run around as them, and people did it to scout the other team. But I'd definitely love it if they did give the Lee that ability

Oh man, can I play with your dream, please?
Men of war are such a awesome game... I really should play it again.
Hey I don't know how many mods you guys use, if any at all But I would love to start telling you guys about mods, I just keep finding such good ones all the time Custom map with tank names Custom radials with custom team commands Just to name a couple

Re: World of TANKS
Jimb0s crosshairs and XVM are my mainstays. Extra stats and AccurateDamageIndicator are also fine.
