Agrona: Thanks everyone and congrats!  @zerofirefox, how would you like the gold distributed between everyone that helped on your video?
Could you please PM me with the names of those who helped and how you all would like to distribute the gold?

Gaea: No, for this thread, I'm not limiting it to historically accurate, they can be as off topic as you'd like.

Hypnotik: No, the rubber duckie floats. It can't drown.

krazyone: No you don't need to buy or even play them if you use free experience to go to the next tank after and so on.

CatStalker: I'd say it's either a false positive, or your system became infected and it affected that file.
I would recommend a full system scan to make sure something else isn't hiding and manipulating your files.

CatStalker: I would (and did) go with the engine first. It changes the way the tank feels drastically, and you can get used to driving it around while saving up for the radio.

CatStalker: from what I understand, the bottom half of the Priest is pretty much an M4 Sherman, with the upper part being the typical vulnerable arty armor.

krazyone:
Very ture, Me and a few co-workers took out half the enemy team when we all used T34's.

krazyone:
They are giving you very good advise and I would say apply it if I were you. It is a much different tank than the others in the heavy line, also if you have played the T30 it plays almost the same as that tank.
Stay back (unless you have support) hull down when possible and stay arty safe. This tank is a great money maker and until 3 weeks ago was my highest credit tank.

As Tolos has said though, try and get a platoon with other T34's and make sure at least one of you have a round loaded at all times so the other team cannot storm around corners on you.

Hope to see you on the battlefield!

~krazyone

P.S. My loadout is vertical stabilizer, Gun Laying Drive and Tank Gun Rammer.

Captain_Judo: Skirmishes are considered your "light hearted" alternative to World of Tanks tournaments. We hold skirmishes on a weekly basis. You simply need to join a team that is registered for the respective tournament to participate.
You can use this useful guide, by Holakc, for information on joining your tournament battle:
http://forum.worldof...special-battle/

CatStalker: Accounts being locked is just a part of the transfer process.
As for the XP issue, it's really easy to test. Take your starting amount, play a game, and see if the xp earned for that game was added properly. If you seem to be having problems after checking the numbers, we'd ask that you send a ticket in to support for them to investigate.

Mugsy_: Hmm. I would advise opening a support ticket to prevent the transfer. support.worldoftanks.com

Mugsy_: Hello,
My advice is to submit a support ticket. They'll be able to review your account and make sure you weren't effected by a bug or something.

CatStalker: Choosing what equipment you bring into battle is part of the strategy, and making the best use of it even when it's not optimal is part of the skill.
It would make your decisions much less meaningful if you could just swap it out after knowing the situation.

Mugsy_: Noted sir. ~ Mugsy_

Mugsy_: Wish noted sir. ~ Mugsy_

krazyone: If you are getting the tank for fun i would go with the M24 Chaffee and a close second the M4A3E8. If you are going for a fun and money tank then the M4A3E8 is still a good tank but the M24 Chaffee is terrible for it.

I played up to the AMX 13 90 and hated it, however that was when they first came out.

I have never played the T-50-2 so i can't say much about it sorry.
