Anybody Playing "World of Tanks" ?

…I`ve been playing for a few months now and mostly have a blast, but…sometimes I wanna throw my laptop out a window…[bnghead] [:@] [:D]

The whole thing amazes me…how you can have 30 people , battling it out, with all the different tanks and people all over the world playing. On-line gaming has come a long way.

Yes, ran through my x2’s already tonight. Same username, look me up.

At 8pm every night, ive been getting x3. Im using the same handle too. I was hoping that if theres enough people playing from this forum, maybe starting an FSM clan. Getting tired of playing with strangers and losing...think Im around 48% overall. And…haven`t spent a dime yet, although I may ask Santa for a premium account…[;)]

Sorry, haven’t tried that game. Being more of a sci-fi fan, I’ve ended up spending my gaming time on Star Trek Online more than even WoW.

Haven’t tried it… Not a fan of on-line games anymore, although I still love to fly campaigns in Red Baron 3D and Combat Flight Simulator II, and I’ll occasionally pull out Panzer Elite… Generally speaking, on-line gaming has taken it’s toll on me, simply because there’s no way to reach through the screen and just choke the living **** outta some of the kiddies who desperately deserve it…

I have to admit I’m a player of a couple of online games, WOW and World of Tanks. Got a Tiger and JagdPanther II. Problem I have on the Europe servers is the Eastern bloc guys not talking in English! and I’m sure some must have some hacks for their accuracy. I’m about 48% win rate too but I like the fact I can log on for 30 minutes and just blow some stuff up!

I hear ya Hans. I still play CFSII. The initial download for W.o.T.s had to be done overnight...something like 4Gbs of goodies, which makes me glad I got a new laptop. I also know what you mean about choking little bas****s...especially the "Arty"drivers, who hide off to the side somewhere and lob shells at ya...[8o|] Whenever Im driving my Pz III/IV, I`m an Arty hunter. I love the comments from those little weasles when I sneak up behind them and blow their a$$e$ away…lol.

We have a lot of Spanish speakers on the N.A. server, so I know what you mean. Im sure theres cheating going on but, Im finding, as my crews training increases, the better the tanks accuracy gets, along with loading speed and actual vehicle speed. I have 5 tanks, two of which have 100% crews plus about 50% through their 1st set of perks…which also make everything better and faster. I have a VK3601H…almost sold it right after buying it…could not survive a battle in it…but with all the upgrades and crew improvement, Ive not only been surviving alot more but have actually turn the tide on a few battles. My best game so far was in my Pz III/IV...8 kills, I was the only one left against 2 artys , a KV @ 25% and to med`s , 1@ 100% and the other 60%. When the battle ended…I had 5% HP left…lol…and none of my teammates hung around to see it, prolly thought I was a goner…lol.

The other thing is…the premium account. How can you compete against someone buying everything? They say the game is free, and is for the most part…you can play all you want and not spend a dime…but when an M6 heavy gets “one-shot-ed”…someone bought their shells. I know by having everyone competeing together, its a way to get more people frustrated and get them to start spending money, and lets face it, making moneyoff the game is the real goal for the owners…IMO.

I would like to play it but the ***holes should make it mac friendly…
at least these thing don’t break down every couple of months…

I read that they are making a world of planes version to…
Not mac friendly either…

Whatever, I still have my consoles, at least I don’t have any issues there…
With regards, Ninetalis.

Step away from the vidya games and get back to the bench folks.

Seriously, I was interested but I too switched to the Dark Side (Mac).

Sorry guys…didnt know about the MAC thing. And, yes, there is a World of Planes on the way...I can only imagine how frustrating thats gonna be…lol. I played for a bit this afternoon,basically was mis-matched the entire time, playing against tanks 2-3 tiers higher than mine, and as you could guess, got my butt kicked 95% of the time. I swear Im gonna quit every "bad" session but, I cant…it`s like nerd crack…lol.

No…

Good…

Len, as far as buying stuff for the game, just but more models. Some of them have coupons for the game in them! Seems like a win-win to me! I haven’t been playing this game. The game that has sucked the time from me is DayZ. It’s a zombie survival game. Definitely fun!

I play it and like it but its not for rivet counters, i have a M10, and a M4E8 my username is chiaman

I applied for the world of warplanes beta but they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

Played for awhile and got up to an M-10 but ended getting burnt out on the game. Same maps and players on your side who want to rush the enemy base leaving your team with half strength before the game even begins in earnest. May have to pick it up and start again, been too busy playing Skyrim through for the second time here lately.

Btw: what’s this Mac thing? Isn’t that a hamburger?

It may be another sort of sandwich to a New Yorker like you, but it’s not…
(couldn’t resist with that sig you have [:P])

The Apple Imac, maybe Macintosh sounds more familiar?

…looks like venison to me…[::DD0]

Ninetalis: just giving you Apple guys a hard time - Mac like Big Mac - you know a McDonald’s hamburger… :wink:

OMG. Thats a deer, lol!! At first glance I thought it was a goat. I was really wondering what kind of sicko would have a goat wallpaper. I kid…I kid… Lol
