Lert:   Nothing about chinese people. I said something about chinese farmers. You know, game content farmers who then sell it for money.

Lert: Enter chinese farmers. "You give me $50 over paypal, I give you IS-7".

Lert: Did you quote the profanity? Then it was in your post, wasn't it. Plain and simple.

Lert: Pz I C has the highest top speed. BT-7 accelerates better.   If you're just interested in fast things and jumping things, maybe an off-road racing game might be better suited to your needs?   As for what tier 3 tank is fastest - that's all easily visible in the game client and the WoT wiki.

Lert: "Too aggressive". Don't need a replay for that.   But, since you asked politely, battle 14 replay, battle 15 replay.   Since there is apparently a maximum number of images I am allowed to put into a single post, I'll put battles 11 - 20 here:   Battles 11 - 20: (20 so far) Eleventh battle: Mines, top tier, solo play. Fired one APCR to finish off a T-127 from the front. Did quite good, we still lost because of bad choices from our lone surviving FCM36 Pak40.     Twelfth battle: Malinovka, solo play, top tier. I did good. Team melted. Lost. Starting to become the theme of this challenge.     Thirteenth battle: solo play, vs tier 5's, Highway. I tried to play it smart and avoid where all the heavies go, only to find that the enemy team's heavies had the same idea. Fired 4 APCR, all 4 did damage. Team lost. Would've made a smalll credit loss on standard, still made a profit on premium.     Fourteenth battle: solo play, vs tier 5's, Siegfried line. Went to my standard early-match ambush spot, found a Marder waiting, backed up, got hit by arty, tried to flank to get the drop on a T1 heavy, he saw me coming and just wiped me out. I didn't accomplish jack. Team won anyway.     Fifteenth battle, solo play, vs tier 5's, Fjords. East spawn. I went north up the hill, tried a few sniping shots, got one damaging hit and a blind shot kill, got killed. Team won anyways.     Sixteenth match. Solo, Cliff, vs tier 5's. I go to the corner overwatching valley, spot a KV, get a shot in on a Crusader, get killed by an invisiTD. Team wins without my help.     Seventeenth battle. Solo play, Love Oaks, vs tier 4's. I did ok, doing some sniping, until I found myself the furthest forward and found a Hetzer. Team lost.     Eighteenth battle: solo play, mines, top tier. Followed our yolochargers, took out their artillery, got Pz I C'd in the butt, team lost.     Nineteenth battle. Himmelsdorf, top tier. Went tank alley. Did some damage. Got killed. Team won.     Twentieth battle. Pearl River. Vs tier 4's. Went south around, did some damage, underestimated a TD's reload. Team lost.     Thoughts after 20 battles:   This thing has no staying power outside its hitpoints. No viewrange to spot anything with. No penetration to go through angled tanks with mediocre armor. No camouflage. The two boobs are great big 'shoot me here' targets. I really don't like this tank. But, I'm soldiering on. It's only 30 more battles.   Stats so far:   Battles played: 20 Win rate: 45% Mastery: 2nd class DPG: 196 (getting better, still far from 'good') Survival rate: 0% APCR fired: 6 Battles with a credit loss (assuming standard account): 3 Top tier battles: 8 Battles vs tier 4: 4 Battles vs tier 5: 8

Lert:   Sample size is going to remain small; I am not going to do 500+ battles in this medium III. 50 will probably be quite enough for my limited patience.   So far though, I am almost starting to think that the whole "tier 3 has to fight tier 5 all the time" thing is not as bad as people make it out to be.

The_Chieftain: What's to explain? The Irish Army had armored cars, the photo apparently taken near Cork, and the cavalryman is apparently chatting with the sentry

Yoott: Matches are up for today   Good Luck

Yoott: Matches are up for today   Good Luck

The_Chieftain: Wouldn’t it have been a terrible thing if, in the middle of WW2, the people responsible for training and equipping the US Army’s armored force were taken prisoner? Well, they were. There are probably going to be a couple of interesting surprises for you in this article. One of the less interesting surprises is that there was a B-17 named “Stinky.” Stinky was a B-17E. 41-9045, to be more specific. The aircraft was lost as a result of an in-flight emergency. In charge at the time was Cpt Thomas Hulings. You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about a B-17 on the Tanks portal. Bear with me. Ireland had a fairly lengthy disagreement with its nearest neighbor, the UK, which was only settled less than 20 years before WWII. That disagreement was only finally resolved after a rather nasty civil war barely fifteen years prior, and de facto independence had come only a couple of years in the past. Despite the long-term ties between Ireland and the UK, given this recent turbulent history and the large death toll of Irishmen the last time the UK got involved in Continental Europe, it was fairly difficult for the Irish government to climb onto the United Nations bandwagon. That said, Ireland certainly leaned more towards the Allies than the Axis, so if an alliance was out of the question, neutrality was going to be the next-best-thing. As part of this neutrality, Eire started a policy of internment. Any combatant from any side who found themselves in Ireland was to be taken prisoner and detained for the duration. The place of detention was known as the K-Lines Internment Camp, located in the Curragh.
Germans detained in Ireland. It looked pretty much like you would expect any military prison to look like. Barbed wire fences, guard towers, and armed personnel guarding them. Cheap barracks buildings, raised up off the ground so as to make tunneling attempts impossible. It was located in the Kildare countryside, near a military base for reinforcements should the tenants become restless. With one minor detail of note in this particular instance. Allies and Axis were kept in the same camp. It didn’t seem efficient to build two camps, it wasn’t as if the Irish were expecting to take battalions of prisoners. As you can imagine, however, having servicemen of both sides in close proximity was liable to result in some issues which needed to be resolved. The solution was to let the prisoners out on day passes. If the prisoners were out having fun and enjoying life, they’d feel less inclined to cause trouble, which might find them losing their privileges. So, they signed a promise to be back by a certain time, make no trouble, and out they went, to town to go to the cinema, the races, the pub, and what have you. Now, one may ask, “what stops a prisoner from signing the form and just escaping to the embassy or North across the border”? After all, it’s every combatant prisoner’s duty to escape back to friendly forces. “The belligerent governments” is the answer. By stroke of geographic luck, Ireland was at the gateway to the Atlantic. Even if Eire was unwilling to allow a combatant the use of its ports for the Battle of the Atlantic, the belligerents were fairly desperate to not induce Eire to consider giving the –other- side the use of its ports. As a result, the interned prisoners on both sides were explicitly told “don’t break the parole rules, and don’t piss off the Irish.” Frankly, I think “don’t piss off an Irishman” is pretty good life advice anyway, but that’s beside the point. Of course, a ‘legitimate’ escape was still fair play. If you managed to break out of the camp, through the wires, the guards etc and then made it to friendly grounds (not an easy task), then fair’s fair, it wouldn’t be held against the nation. An enterprising barracks lawyer by the name of Bud Wolfe, an Nebraskan who joined the RAF to fight the Nazis, and not being particularly interested in spending a life of (paid) luxury in Ireland, thought he had found a way around this system. He signed out on parole, walked out the gate to a waiting taxi. Then said “Damnit, I forgot my gloves”, walked back in. Picked up his gloves, and walked back out the gate again. As far as he was concerned, he had signed out, returned by the deadline as promised, and then effected a legal, blatant escape out the gate. After he made it to Northern Ireland, he was arrested, the British decided that he had at least broken the spirit of the parole process, and sent him back to Ireland. His reception in the camp was not a happy one, the rest of the Allied prisoners were not best pleased at having lost their parole privileges for a week. A second escape attempt failed, he was recaptured shortly after breaking out.
We’re not in Kansas Nebraska any more By a bit of a coincidence, Wolfe’s story actually ended in 2011: The wreckage of his aircraft was dug up from the peat bog in which it crashed, with various bits and pieces very well preserved. They even got a machinegun working again. This somewhat unusual state of affairs could lead to some fairly abrupt introductions. One Canadian aircrew crashed near the Curragh, and, thinking they were in Scotland, decided to seek help at a pub that they found. Upon entering the saloon bar of the pub, they discovered it was full of Germans celebrating a birthday. This caused a little confusion. Their confusion was compounded a bit when the Germans forcefully instructed them that Allied party crashers were not welcome and that they were to go to their own bar (actually, at the public room in other side of the pub).
Wilkommen, have a beer, your colleagues are waiting. Oh, and you are now under arrest. This story formed the basis of a rather execrable movie by the name of “The Bryllcreem Boys”, which you can watch for free on Hulu, at least if you’re in the US. Although the general plot is a terrible love triangle showing off Riverdance star Jean Butler (complete with dancing), it is partially redeemed by Gabriel Byrne as the camp commandant, and the depiction of the camp and its rules is reasonably close to the truth. For a more serious assessment, find a Canadian book (now out of print) named “Grounded in Eire.” Going on another brief tangent, you may be aware of the fact that what we know as “World War II” (incidentally, there’s a Presidential Directive to the effect that that’s the conflict’s official name in the US) is not known by that name universally. Over on the former Soviet side of the house, it’s “The Great Patriotic War”. (Well, OK, they do distinguish between WWII and TGPW, but not in everyday conversation). The Soviet Union wasn’t the only country to give the conflict a less common name: In Eire, (Ireland), it was known as “The Emergency” The background to this is that the Irish government wanted to enact emergency powers due to the unusual state of affairs which obtained in Europe in September 1939. The Irish Constitution granted the government such emergency powers in case of war, but it wasn’t entirely sure if the war in Europe counted. So the First Amendment to the Irish Constitution was approved, to add, in effect, that “state of war” could include “wars of which Ireland is not a part if the government thinks it’s important enough.” Once that little clarification was made, the Oireachtas (Parliament) passed its declaration of a state of emergency with the Emergency Powers Act. As a general rule, the Irish ruling bodies were not fans of the concept of acknowledging that there was a war going on which they had chosen not to be a part of. It went so far that when the son of a notable member of the Irish gentry in Malahide was killed when HMS Hood was sunk, his death was noted in the Irish Times as being due to a boating incident. As a result, the entire period 1939-1946 is known as “The Emergency.”
Leinster House, home of the Oireachtas Now, this is all very interesting, but you’re probably wondering why I’m writing about Irish internment procedures on the Tanks portal. Bear with me. In December of 1942, Lieutenant General Jacob Devers, head of the Armored Force, decided to go on a fact-finding mission to the European Theatre of Operations to see how the tank units were holding up. Well, actually, it was mainly the North African Theatre of Operations, as European tank combat hadn’t really gotten off the ground. So he took with him a couple of colleagues, including one Major General Edward Brook, two Brigadier Generals named Gladeon Barnes and William Palmer, a Colonel William Thaddeus Sexton, and to carry the baggage, a Major Earl Hormell. They set off on December 14th, going south to Brazil, Ascension, The Gold Coast, Nigeria and Sudan, arriving Cairo five days later after a distance of 11,140 miles. After spending a little time with the British, they hopped over to Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. At the end of trip, they went to Gibraltar for a week to consolidate their findings 7-14 January. The result of all this flying around and taking people away from their jobs for a month was one page and a quarter of conclusions, and one half-page of recommendations (the other half is six signature blocks). The conclusions of the fact finding mission were as follows: The M-4 Medium tank (General Sherman) is the best tank on the battlefield. [Chieftain’s note: Yes, they actually say “General Sherman” in the document. This is a nearly two years before Ordnance officially names the vehicle] The self-propelled 105mm howitzer is the best supporting light artillery weapon on the battlefield. The same tactical principles and doctrines taught by the Armored Force are today being successfully employed by the British Eighth Army. The British have evolved, independently in battle, methods of tank gunnery similar to latest Armored Force teachings. The present war is definitely one of guns. The attack is built around air, tanks, and artillery. Defense is built around air, concealed anti-tank guns, and artillery. In order for ground forces to advance, hostile aircraft must be rendered ineffective. To achieve success all combat units must be able to repel tanks and low flying aircraft with their own weapons. They must have 75mm antitank guns and .50 calibre anti-aircraft weapons organically assigned. Also 37mm antitank guns should be provided liberally to artillery trains and similar units. The separate tank destroyer arm is not a practical concept on the battlefield. Defensive anti-tank weapons are essentially artillery. Offensively, the weapon to beat a tank is a better tank. Sooner or later the issue between ground forces is settled in an armored battle – tank against tank. The concept of tank destroyer groups and brigades attempting to overcome equal numbers of hostile tanks is faulty unless the tank destroyers are actually better tanks than those of the enemy. A higher standard of discipline of American troops must be attained. Five recommendations were put forward. That each infantry battalion include eight self-propelled 75mm anti-tank guns, that all battalions include four AA vehicles each mounting four .50 calibre machine guns. That 37mm anti-tank guns be provided liberally to artillery trains and similar troops. That the training facilities of Camp Hood, Texas, be used to produce and train anti-tank artillery personnel for all troops equipped with anti-tank guns of 75mm and larger caliber; surplus production, if any, to be sent to tank units. That “Tank Destroyer Battalions” be redesignated as “Anti-tank artillery battalions”, and their number limited to those sufficient for divisions and larger units. That better battle uniform including waterproof shoes be provided.   Their duty from their trip being completed, they took advantage of the fact that they were already on the other side of the Atlantic to go to the UK to check in with the goings-on there. So they boarded their aircraft, a B-17 converted to a VIP transport role, departed Gibraltar, and set off North up the Atlantic’s Eastern edge, looping around to the West of France to avoid German interception. Their B-17 was named “Stinky”. You can probably guess where this is going. The daily diary of the Devers mission reads as follows: “At 2:00pm, January 15th, departed from Gibraltar, weather splendid. At approximately 10:00am, just after daylight, sighted land which navigator described as Lundy Island. From the map, this island appeared to be 100 miles north of the point at which the plane should have turned east towards Port Reath. Retracing south, the contour of the coastline did not correspond to that on available maps. Searched for approximately two hours without finding a familiar landmark. The radio operator was unable to contact any stations. The navigator admitted that he was lost. The ground consisted of small grass fields traversed by stone walls. With the gasoline supply nearly exhausted, a crash landing was made near Athenry at 11:50am. The size of the field was such that after hitting the ground, the plane crashed through a stone wall at approximately 70 miles per hour. Although the plane was wrecked, the members of the party were uninjured. The plane was immediately surrounded by Irish civilians and members of the Home Guard. The local inhabitants were very friendly, offered food and any medical assistance necessary. Shortly thereafter, representatives of the Eire Army arrived and took charge of the situation” So, we now have the interesting situation that on 15th January 1943, the General in charge of all US tank doctrine and training, the General in charge of developing all the equipment used by the US Army, the General in charge of evaluating the merit of future armored vehicles (The head of the Special Armored Vehicles Board), the Commanding General 11th Armored Division (tapped to command 2nd Armored in Normandy), and their advisors, are detained and facing internment for the duration of the war with a bunch of Germans. One can only speculate what would happen to the future of the US military’s armored vehicle development. The end is, as you can imagine, a little anticlimactic. After all, most of you will have never heard of this incident, so obviously not much came of it. In reality, though Ireland was officially neutral, it was ‘neutral in favour of the allies’, most famously allowing the Donegal Corridor which cut a lot of flight time off RAF Coastal Command aircraft transiting to partake in the Battle of the Atlantic. A quirk in the policy was that though Ireland in early 1943 was still interning combatants, it had by 1942 decided to define the term a little loosely. If the belligerent personnel had ended up in Ireland as the result of a combat operation, they were interned. If, however, it was decided that they were not undertaking a combat mission at the time, they were sent North. And thus, after determining (over lunch in an Athenry hotel), that Stinky was just doing a ferry flight and not a bombing raid her passengers and crew set off by car at about 20:30, crossing the border into the UK from Sligo at about 2am. Pilot Officer Wolfe and his colleagues, however, had to remain in the K-Lines until they were released in October 1943. By that point, the Irish had decided that it was a bit of a bad lot, there were more Allies crashing in Ireland than Axis (understandably, given the geography), so the K-Lines were closed. About half of the 260 or so Germans declined repatriation, probably not least because some of them had found girlfriends during their evenings out. There were still some internments later in the war, but they were brief, small in number, and in a different camp under different rules. So, you can go to my Facebook page, and I’ll wager a bunch of you are going to go to Google to find out if I’m actually making all of this up.

Lert:   You mean, kind of like how it's been for me so far in this challenge? So far I've had 6 battles where I was top tier, 2 vs tier 4's and 4 vs tier 5's.

dance210:   In a perfect world, I try for within 48 hr (Thurs or Fri for group stage, Mon or Tues for playoffs). In a non-perfect world, up to 7 days.

Lert: Strongholds.

Lert:   Several. This is mine.

Lert: Update ...   I've decided to run this entire challenge solo. Not because newbs can't platoon, but because uploading the screenshots and posting them and writing a small description of each battle just takes up time. I don't want to force a wait on my platoonmates.

Lert: Yeah their days are numbers.

Lert:  

Lert:   Those.

pizzastorm: This contest is now CLOSED!!!!   We will be looking over entries and awarding prizes hopefully early next week.   Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  

Capitao_Desastre_:   Aí já penso que será perto de impossível. Tanto quanto sei, Minsk não se envolve na forma como as divisões regionais gerem essas situações.

Lert: Big support button on top of every forum page.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Minha opinião é de que esse tipo de falta de respeito para com jogadores de outros países é inadmissível. Agora, uma coisa é minha opinião, e outra as ações tomadas para punir essas situações e as evitar no futuro. Eu reportei a situação anteriormente, e pelo que posso perceber pelas vossas reações, as ações tomadas podem não ter sido suficientes para dissuadir quem faz isso de o voltar a fazer no futuro.

Lert: Vehicles do not have a political preference.

Lert: Wait and see.

Lert: Updated OP with the first 10 battles. Copypasta of my thoughts so far below:   This is more painful than I remembered tier 3 being. Maybe I was just too oblivious to the pain when I actively ground through tier 3 as a noob. Or maybe the meta has changed and power creep has changed the game so far. Or maybe I'm just going through a rough spot with my playing - Odin knows my high tier play hasn't been spectacular lately either.   I really dislike the Medium III, so far. It isn't very mobile apart from some decent straight line speed. The gun is mediocre. The armor nonexistent - anything that hits this thing does damage and autocannons and derp guns just shred it. I've not survived a single battle. No viewrange to scout with, no camo to hide with, mediocre radio range. The tank is just too average without a stand-out quality I can take advantage of.   I'm going to need to start practicing what I preach and hang back and support instead of trying to force breakthroughs / fights.   I miss my expensive equipment and skilled crews. Ah well, nothing to do but soldier on.   Some stats so far:   Battles played: 10 Win rate: 50% Mastery: 2nd class DPG: 180 (in a 280 hitpoint tank...) Survival rate: 0% APCR fired: 1 Battles with a credit loss (assuming standard account): 1 Top tier battles: 4 Battles vs tier 4: 2 Battles vs tier 5: 4

The_Chieftain: Looking at SS's comment on he T26 video, did I not go get track tension in my Pershing ITCH? Granted, without tools...

dance210:   Unfortunately not until tomorrow on our end. Today is a holiday...and internet is out at home so I can't even do it here :-(

dance210: REMINDER: Registration is due this weekend!   Thanks guys...looking forward to a fun season :-D

dance210:   Have you applied for the tournament after all players have joined the team? Only teams in Pending Approval are accepted.

Lert:   Fair point, I suppose. I'll start including those.   So far I haven't really had much of an opportunity to fire at tier 5's, so you haven't missed anything yet.   Don't expect much actual update today; I have other plans for the day. Tomorrow I'll certainly put a few more matches into my Meed'jum III.

Lert:   Newp. Forgot that one. Adding now.   ... Which reminds me. *adds toon, failtoon*

Lert:   Same as I normally do. Too aggressive.

Lert:   Eh, I'll take it. Seems common enough.

Lert:  

Lert:   Combination of those two, I am sure.

Lert:   That's a fairly recent addition, actually. Up until patch 8.something holding down leftmouse as your shell loaded did not fire it.
