ARGO: I'm thinkin Barry Bonds! I demand a steroid test on that animal!

ARGO: Agreed...

ARGO: Any KV player with any experience in one would tell you the 107mm is the best gun for that tank overall. Now I am not trying to dis the 152mm Derp gun or 122mm lovers here but cost of ammo wise, rate of fire, and hitting at distance puts the 107 head and shoulders above the rest.

Overlord: Guys, how was your performance during 6.6 test2 and test3?
Please comment here:
Example:
Ping: 120-130
Lag: No
Location: USA
Overall/other: everything was smooth.
Thanks a lot.

ARGO: Moving topic to game play discussion.....
ARGO

Hypnotik: Click on the territory name below the clan wars map while you have the territory in question selected.

ARGO: Jack Russell, Very agile, very tough, loves to scrap, no fear, extremly smart, and endless energy. And once it's on you, good luck trying to out run or shake it off.... It truly is the T54 of dogs.

ARGO: 1. Yes, it is possible to hit a "un-lit" tank and kill it too if thye have not moved and you already have a bead on them.
2. Well as SPGs go, I would not want to bring a Bison into a tier 10 match up but pretty much any SPG past tier V should do damage even on higher tiers. Shop around for A SPG that suits your needs, rate of fire and mobility is a plus.
3. No, you do not need premium to play in CW but since you benefit from the extra EXP why would you ever not want it.
3. As for a good support medium? I use my KV13 with the 122mm derp because it has the speed manueverability and firepower to be a good wingman to your heavies, I let the heavies engage and sneak around them and put a few into their engines, the 122mm does well at this and I also use it when bored to arty hunt. Why not a T54, T44, or Panther? KV13 is a cheap fix and inexpensive. As for mediums in general....Get yourself a wide variety, you can never have enough of them.
Now here is a piece of advise you didn't ask for.....It never hurts to have some Premium gold tanks in your arsenal, they make money and are cheap to fix. The more your have the quicker you can climb the trees using their extra EXP they make and the best part is you don't need a premium account to get premium pay and exp with them.
I hope this helps you....Good luck and enjoy.

ARGO: The more tanks the better, would not mind also seeing the Sherman fire fly and the original father of all tanks the English Mark V male tank of WW1.

ARGO: I have the KV13, It is what I consider one of the best all around mediums. I have mine perminently equiped with the 122mm derp and I use it to make short work of arty or huled down position by running in behind them during a fire fight while they are occupied. The KV13 does not get the kind of attention a T54, Pershing, T44 gets but it can hit almost as hard with the 122 and does have the speed.
KV13 = excellent support, arty killing, fast attack tank.

Overlord: It might be logical from logical point of view, but not justified by balance needs. It would practically mean extremely quick and easy access to a tier 9 heavy.

Overlord: The existing concept will be preserved, premium vehicles will perform a bit worse than their fully upgraded brothers.

Overlord: There was no shadow nerf to Pz v/iv.

Overlord: US server downtime:
8:00 am - 16:00 UTC
Reason: release of v.6.6 update.

Tanitha: Sounds good to me.

Overlord: Yes, of course it will.

ARGO: No, he is not lying. I have both tanks and have had it happen to me too so do not point the finger of accusation until you have reasearched ALL the facts. In fact I have bounced 2 point blank shots from an IS4's 130mm off of a A-20 and 3 of a Ram II. Just because the numbers look good on paper does not mean they apply 100% of the time in-game. There are a million upon million different factors that at any given time that can change things depending on the circumstances.

Vallter: Yes, if you have less than 60 days (maximum longitude) of the Premium account.

Vallter:
Yes, if you have less than 60 days (maximum longitude) of the Premium account.

Overlord: That's basically correct.

Overlord: Can't tell atm, the guys are working at full speed. Beta is supposed to start in autumn.

Overlord: As soon as the beta is available for US and EU players.

Overlord: Yes, removed this for now.

Overlord: It's actually not. Let's count it as well tho.

Overlord: The same goes for the opposite situatuions. If the performance gap is significant, the adjustments will allow. Each case is reviewed individually.

Overlord: Maus >>> IS-7
Panther >>> T-44 (v.6.5)
Marder >>> SU-76
Leopard >>> A-20
GW E >>> Obj 261

Overlord: Yeah, sort of. Since the concept is pretty much the same, guys can speed up the work.

Tanitha: TK's are not reported, the system handles it.. There is nothing manual about Tk's any more..

Tanitha: Some nice replies, although I'm not sure about the perma banned bit. : )

Tanitha:

Tanitha: Begging for gold is against the rules, yes.
I'll just sneak this closed into the junkyard, and pretend I didn't see it : )
Regards
Tan..

ARGO: Yes, I got his point...I am just doing a bit of my own reiteration seeing how this "kill stealing" fad term is used quite to often and with all the finger pointing as to these "kill stealers" I think it's most important to keep reminding ourselves how this a war game and that winning / surviving is the goal overall and not who gets the kills. Just for the record, when I am using my priest and I see a Maus bearing down on me I do not care who kills it, I just want it dead and fast.
