TragicLoss: Use the Alecto as a scout.
"The Alecto has a great view range that is even higher than scouts of the same tier. This coupled with good speed and maneuverability allow the Alecto to function as a scout to some extent. Its top gun, the 25-pdr Howitzer, packs a big punch and a good rate of fire. It's lacking in penetration which calls for the need to flank and relocate often when facing higher tiered opponents. In many cases, the 3.7 inch AT Howitzer is actually the better choice - the added penetration and significantly higher damage per shot counterbalance the much improved RoF and slightly better accuracy of the 25-pdr quite well. It's also 117kg lighter, which is a lot of weight for an 8 ton tank!
The biggest downfall of the Alecto is its paper-thin armor. It's exceedingly vulnerable to all kinds of enemy fire, especially artillery and HE shells. Thus, it's important for the Alecto to make use of its low profile and good camo value to remain hidden from enemy guns. The Alecto is not at all a front-line tank, however, it has the speed and firepower to be a great contributor to the battlefield."

CamelTanks, on May 31 2013 - 07:26, said: -snip-
I have team killed exactly 2 times in over 6 months of play. I did so intentionally and in rapid succession (2 total kills) in one match, performed as the capture objective ticked 100 for our team to win (if there was ever a time to discover the effects of team killing, I couldn't think of a better one).
I immediately received a 24 hour ban. The result of this is that I will no longer spend money on this game (I have spent $150 so far), and I will not continue to invite friends to play it.
I cannot see that this outcome results in a win for any involved party.
An additional interesting note: when you TK at the end of a match, it does reset the capture objective status (which I consider to be a defect). Apparently important game mechanics have not received as much scrutiny as the 'automatic discipline system'.

dance210: I am guessing that the two tanks that you killed were in the cap
circle, correct? The system gives team kills in the cap circle a
higher weight than team kills outside of the cap circle. That is
likely the reason that you were banned, even without doing any team
damage previously.
FYI, when capturing a base, there is normally a delay between the capture bar showing 100 and the base being considered captured. Normally, when the ! appears at the end, the server has completed its countdown and the base is captured. This will occasionally cause draws if both teams are capturing the base, and both bars get to 100% within a few seconds of each other. This is also why the bar was reset when you killed your allies; the server had not finalized the victory for your team.

liner with additional absorption coefficient - 30%
All spall liners on vehicles with weight above 70 tons were dismounted, moved to the depot and changed to ‘Super-Heavy Spall Liners
1) Are we talking about stock weight of the tank or the total weight of the tank inclusive of the spall liner?
