Re: World of TANKS
I kinda like the way tanks are in WoT, and in MoW they have armour like tinfoil. MoW has potential, but it's waaay to detailed for most gamers to get into.

Re: World of TANKS
I'd like the focus on tanks in WoT to stay the same, but I'd love to see some of the features from MoW added, mostly the destroyable buildings and multigun tanks. Even if crew panic ain't in MoW, it should be added to WoT in my opinion. Major wrote: I kinda like the way tanks are in WoT, and in MoW they have armour like tinfoil. I'm inclined to disagree. Most tanks in MoW are matching same level enemies. On medium difficulty, you get the expected result. A Sherman can shrug off shells from small AT guns and light tanks, but up against a Tiger, well, you get what you'd get in WoT.

Re: World of TANKS
A penetrated hull on a tank is usually a dead tank, that's something MoW have and WoT should have imo. Historical battles might not have HP, as in WG have not said "no" yet.

Re: World of TANKS
That sounds horribly boring though, more like a hardcore mode for players if they really wanted it

Re: World of TANKS
Apparently a trial of the historical mode was 15 minutes of camping because no one wanted to get hit.

The camping business is extremely easy to fox though, if you lose or draw 1/10 of the creds and EXP. I think the whole "hitpoints"-thing is extremely old and overused, and should be completely replaced by physics and internal-damage boxes.

Re: World of TANKS
It's not entirely based on HP anyway, you would of course expect small shells to have less of an effect if they penetrate But in reality you wouldn't expect a tank to take more than a few penetrations, at least not without most of the crew dying Still I like the more casual style, because it is fun, but I wouldn't mind trying out or seeing a trial of such a design
Was artillery really even used to hit tanks anyway? I thought it was more for infantry and emplacements, hence the difficulty we have with moving targets

Re: World of TANKS
I heard the artillery in WoT is more accurate than the ones of today with satellites.

Re: World of TANKS
Yeah, artillery was never about killing tanks. Also, Jomn, whoever told you that is silly.

Re: World of TANKS
Can't tell if M5A1 is ♥♥♥♥ Or everyone is ♥♥♥♥ *weeps quietly*
Seriously, FIVE IN A ♥♥♥♥ ROW FIVE FAILS IN A ROW WITH LESS THAN 100 XP EACH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
IT'S 3X EXPERIENCE, IT SHOULD BE EASY TO GET THE SUSPENSION
Tier 8 battle completely stock with a ♥♥♥♥ team? Thanks WG Finally managed to grind the suspension anyway
Maybe it's just as the wiki said, "difficult learning curve"

Re: World of TANKS
The M5A1 is a difficult tank to use properly. It's a tough nut to crack for a light tank, not a lot of HP, but it seems like it absorbs hits pretty well. Very bouncy feeling to drive as well, the suspension is really springy.
It doesn't turn very well, but the gun isn't half bad and the turret turns fairly quickly. You can try to scoot past enemy lines and pepper their sides but that's usually pretty ineffective. I usually just use dips in the road to go under the gun depression of enemy tanks and use the straight away speed to get behind their lines and scout/attack artillery. The speed is the strong point, not the handling. Trying to play carousel with heavy tanks simply won't work.
