Hunter1911: From standard tanks I would recommend Panzer IV and the Stug III.

Hunter1911:
The game does have multiple hit-points implemented, so you have to hit the right spot to ammo-rack a tank, depending on its ammo location.
But yes, at the moment game only differs "ammo or no ammo".

Hunter1911: Yes they were known to break down.
Machine gun at the rear of the turret is an old concept. Japanese were employing it in most of their tanks.
Basically you traverse the turret and use the weapon you need at the moment, you can also cover your rear from infantry approach. Kind of impractical on tanks with slow turret traverse.

EDIT: and his little sidekick.

Hunter1911:
Game does not take ammo weight into the account.

Hunter1911:
Yes, empty ammo rack does not explode. But it must be completely empty. Less shells does not equal less chance for ammo explosion.

It is a game after all :)
Although we strive to historical accuracy in the game, sometimes certain aberrations are necessary for the sake of gameplay.

Hunter1911: If a crew member is moved to a vehicle of the same Type as that in which he has his Vehicle Competence, and the vehicle is a premium vehicle, there is no penalty.
If a crew member is in a vehicle of a different Type as that in which he has his Vehicle Competence, and the vehicle is a premium vehicle, he would also take a 25% Penalty to his current Training Level. Sadly it does not work the other way around.
Simply said: You can use crew of any vehicle and type of the same nation in a premium vehicle without a penalty. But using a crew from premium vehicle in a standard vehicle will not grant any bonus and the penalty will be applied, unless the crew is retrained.

Ectar: Have you been able to predict every offer so far?  If so I need to you pick my lottery numbers for next week sir.

Hunter1911: Something like this?

"A-40 Krylya Tanka".
"Soviet attempt to allow a tank to glide onto a battlefield after being towed aloft by an airplane, to support airborne forces or partisans. A prototype was built and tested in 1942, but was found to be unworkable".

Ectar:
I don't get replies like this. I mean if you want to play another game, that's cool, go play another game.  I don't quite understand people's obsession with telling us they're off to play Warthunder. We don't have people saying they're off to play League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 4 etc.
PC games play more than 1 game?!?! Well I'm amazed...

Hello tankies,
Welcome to our "Know Your Steel" series of articles. The following articles are going to be dedicated to interesting info and trivia about the tanks we have in game.
A bit of side view on them. We will not go too technical or too deep and will try to provide a fun to read material.
Enjoy in the article.
You can read the first part here, if you have not done so earlier.
KV-2
It was near a city of Raseiniai where Germans had first encountered a unit equipped with the Soviet KV heavy tanks.
2nd Tank Division from Soviet 3rd Mechanised Corps attacked and overran elements of the German 6th Panzer Division on 23 June.
The Germans Panzer 35(t) tanks and antitank weapons were practically ineffective against the Soviet heavy tanks—some of them were out of ammunition, but clashed with and destroyed German antitank guns by literally driving over them.
Attempts to destroy these armoured giants concentrated on first immobilising them by firing at their tracks and then by tackling them with artillery,  AA Guns, or by blowing them up at close range by high explosive charges of the Sticky Bomb type.

On 23th and 24th June 1941, a single KV-2, tasked with blocking the path in Southern Lithuania, at a crossroads in front of the city of Raseiniai, had managed to cut off elements of the 6th Panzer Division which had established bridgeheads on the Dubysa river. It stalled the Division's advance for a full day.
Germans were in big problems, they lost their entire supply truck column.
Positioned in the middle of the crossroad, this KV-2 had first knocked out the German light tanks, such as Pzkpfw 35(t). As a response Germans brought and mounted the PaK 38 50mm gun, despite hitting the target seven times, the end result was negligible, and the guns were destroyed.
The airstrike was not approved, not for a single tank. The famous 88mm Flak gun was brought to be used. KV-2 was attacked by a variety of antitank weapons, until it finally ran out of ammunition, and was destroyed.
The KV-2A (German designation) appeared during January to February 1940 and mounted a 152mm M –1938/40 L/20 howitzer in a high box turret with all-round traverse, upon the KV-1 hull.
This vehicle was found to be operationally ineffective due to the inability to traverse the turret when on an incline, to provide anti-tank fire and to fire on the move. It was usually fired from stationary and concealed positions.
The 10.8 tonne turret caused an excessively high silhouette of 4.14 meters, as against 2.66 meters for the KV-1. It brought the weight up from 43.5 tonnes to over 51.7 tonnes. The projectiles were those of the corps artillery 152mm howitzers and gun-howitzers.
Two men (for a total of 6) were added to the crew to handle them. The gun had low velocity compared to the M-1937 corps gun of the same calibre, but the Soviets said that the KV-2 proved quite successful against the Mannerheim Line, against which it fired concrete piercing shells.
Since the KVs were produced at the large Kirov plant in Leningrad and were coming out in the later part of 1939, the 2s were ready for use in the late February of 1940 - Steamroller that terminated the Winter War.
If KV-2s were a success in positional warfare assaults, they were a notorious failure in the mobile campaigns fought against the Germans in the summer of 1941.
KV-2s were in action as early as the third day of the German attack (June29) at Soposkinie in Poland.

KV-2B. During 1940 a second model was produced, the KV-2B which had a new turret and wider tracks, being based on the newer KV-1B chassis. The model was taken into service, but showed little improvement over the first version.
A flame-throwing version of the KV-2B was produced in limited numbers.
Several experiments were conducted as well.
During 1943, two experimental variants were developed: KV-2-1 with the 85mm anti-tank gun of the KV-85, and the KV-2-2 with the new 122mm anti-tank gun. Even these models failed to meet the requirement of tank assault gun or self-propelled artillery; no further development of the KV-2 is known to have taken place.

SergeantBaba: Es muss sich um die Japaner handeln  

Tanatoy: Merci d'ouvrir un petit peu les yeux. Donc, je vais me permettre de rétablir les quelques vérités. Chère AmiralNoob, si je me souviens bien tu n'as jamais participé à un de nos concours, il est donc assez difficile de pouvoir donner un avis, à part ce genre de troll de mauvais goût.
Rhaya + moi = pas modérateurs. Eltric + Endwynn= modérateurs. Depuis plus d'un an que nous organisons des concours, je pense que nous avons prouvé depuis longtemps notre intégrité. Je reste disponible en mp pour quiconque souhaite en discuter.
Les votes seront donnés dans quelque temps.

Tanatoy:
Erreur, cela sera changé dans les minutes qui suivent :) Merci pour l'avoir signalé.

Ectar:
Whilst you might think that, this is actually pretty important for players who play both games. Spending free exp in World of Warplanes means your free exp in World of Tanks will be reduced as it's across both games.
Using premium or elite tanks/planes can be a really effective and quick way to rise through a tech tree in either game. I know for myself that most of my free exp generated from World of Warplanes will be used to help me progress through the World of Tanks tech trees quicker.

Ectar: Yes If I wanted to do the mission I could.  If I didn't do the mission well then I missed out on the chance for some credits.  Missions won't always apply to everyone. (If they were easy to do, the rewards would be much smaller).
I appreciate that some people have a millions and one excuses as to why they can only play a limited amount per day/week. Sadly we can't give you large rewards for little effort.

Copypasta is fixed
Copypasta is fixed


The EU teams did really good this year!

Ectar: "Weekly" not daily mission. 50 Russian tanks in a week. If you need 20 hours a day to do that well it's not really the missions that are the problem there.

Ectar: It's weekly missions that are separate from weekend events (and weekend missions) and separate from monthly missions! We haven't even announced what's coming later in the month are you're acting like you're somehow getting a bad deal or have been promised something differently. That's not really cool.
Whilst some players might not have a use for 10 repair kits please remember that selling them will give you 100,000 credits.

Hunter1911:
Gimme code!

Brynd: Ooh, mystery bonus code...  

Cmd_Latina: Ja też chciałam wszystkim podziękować za super atmosferę. Również nadal walczę z zakwasami.    Wkrótce opublikujemy zdjęcia oraz wyniki indywidualne z Laser Tag.

Do zobaczenia na kolejnym spotkaniu!

Cmd_Latina: Serdecznie dziękujemy wszystkim za super atmosferę, jaką dzięki Wam udało nam sie stworzćc podczas spotkania!

Mamy nadzieję, że dobrze sie bawiliście. Jeśli chcecie poznać wiecej wrocławskich czołgistów zapraszamy w kazdy poniedziałek do Motylej Nogi, gdzie regularnie odbywaja sie spotkania czołgistów!

Do zobaczenia na polu bitwy!  

Dakiras: There are a number of factors that you have to take into account with regards to experience gains, some of which mean you don't actually have to deal damage. For instance, spotting an enemy, base capture (not applicable in this case, I know,) win bonus which is 1.5x, and also the first win of the day.
I can understand what you're saying, but other factors are at play besides just the damage dealt.
