Hypnotik: Just get the ausf b before the patch, and then post-patch you'll
still be able to work towards the maus from the ausf b, since it's
in the same line.

The KV class tanks get a new lease on life

MrTankFan, on 13 June 2011 - 04:29 PM, said: Yeah, the KV is nice, but still not unstoppable. I definitely like
the KV-1S and may even go back to it once I get a KV-3 (Yes, I'm
shamelessly gaming the system for free tanks.) I really liked the
speed it had, and I didn't even have the upgraded engine or 122mm
D-2-5T. I'm starting to definitely think about using the KV-13 to
get the T-43 and then the T-44.
Argo, just as a question to a player with ostensibly much more experience than myself, do you think that perhaps using the KV-1S is good practice for the T-44-122? It seems like it would be, since they share several key characteristics: powerful, slow firing guns, great mobility, and decent but not great armour. It's certainly an unusual mix, and one that many players seem to have trouble adapting to given that the KV-1S still seems a rare beast and most T-44's are seen with the 100mm. Most players seem to want the slow guns on tanks with lots of armour and the fast guns on fast tanks. Yet a few people swear by their KV-1S's and I wondered if the playstyle was good training for the T-44-122, which I really want.
Thanks in advance!

ARGO: I will tell you, I am now learning that having skipped over the
KV1S before the wipe was a travesty because it is a fun KV variant
and it also has a nice choice of weapons including the 85mm which
as most Russian TD drivers know is a real nice gun for sniping.
KV1S has good speed and a nice fast turret, Hell when it's all
maxed side by side it looks all but identicle to the IS tank! I
actuall had a few players run away from me only to tell me they
though I was in an IS. Anyway, The KV1S is the gateway over and
into the more deadly Russian mediums so I would have to say it
would not hurt to try it and as far as a comparison to a T-44, Like
Clockworked stated in his post above, it's the skills of the driver
that can make a tanks seem OP.
I hope this helps you my friend.

ARGO: Back in the early days of WoT "Before the Wipe" any of you who went
up the Russian heavy tree eventually became aquainted with the KV
tank series. KV / KV2 / KV3 / KV1S and for a lot "including myself"
it was arguous, Time consuming, mostly not fun at least until you
got to KV3. Sure you had the famed 107mm and the infamous 152mm
Derp cannon but something never really seemed right with the KVs.
My personal belief is that the KV in WoT was always that kid on
your block growing up that was always to little to hang around with
the big kids and too big to hang around the little kids. Basically
it was the "cusp" tank between slow and greatness, anyone I used to
talk to saw the KV tanks as a stepping stone or had that "Just
passing through" mentality but as of the past patch I have really
noticed some serious changes in the use of the KV tanks and with
the addition of the KV13 and balancing system it seems KVs have
become popular among players including myself. Since the patch KVs
now for the most part now go into battles they can do well in
rather than those days of being dragged into a Maus / IS7 face off.
I have since the wipe got another chance to re-visit this tank
series and am really starting to be won over by there appeal as a
good descent low end heavy tank. This time I tried a KV1S and found
it to be fun and fast for a KV tank. I am now working toward a KV13
which shows great promise of also being a nice addition to the
garage and a good little medium. Another peice of proof that KVs
are winning back players is that for the 1st time since I have been
playing I now hear a lot of players saying the the KV is OP....Wow
I still laugh when I here it but in a way it's nice to see the KVs
getting a little love good or bad. I suggest that you all give the
series a try, with the choices you now have there is most likely a
KV tank that can fit your fight style.

the map. I was in my IS, and it was a tier 6 to 9 match up with
lots of tier 8/9 tanks (I was in the bottom six tanks) and three
arty a side. I set myself up beside the buildings to snipe on the
east-most bridge through most of the game, and I got a couple
long-range kills (one on a Tiger II), but the game went poorly for
our team when an early rush got pulled too deep into enemy
territory and was decimated, and in the end there was me in my IS
behind the buildings beside the castle and our three arty on the
hill...
I was down to 1/3rd health and a VK3601 ran in close to the buildings and I was peek-a-booming him.... I manage to get him down to about 1/3rd health from 100%, but I know there's a TII and an SU 152 with these buildings in their sights, not to mention three enemy arty, a T20 and a T32 out there still, so when the VK disappears around the base side of the buildings I don't follow... Suddenly, I'm getting all kinds of ignorant, nasty, vicious chat over the coms - a couple of my dead team members are chewing me out because the VK is shooting at exposed artillary on the hill. Well, that's too bad, but there isn't much I can do about it because if I stick my nose around the cover of these buildings, I'm dead, so the VK gets two of our three arty...
Irrelevant, apparently - one of these guys spends the rest of the game calling me a coward an idiot a faggot whatevercomesintohistoadylittlemind... Then he was telling me he was going to TK me if he ever saw me in a match with him again, and he was broadcasting at least some of this open channel to both teams...
The VK came out of cover and I killed him, but this team mate just continues with a vicious spew of ignorance and hatred and suddenly I just didn't want to deal with it any more... Sure there's an ignore list, but trying to figure out how to make that work in the middle of the fight is more than I can manage, so when their T20 came over the hill I just let him shoot me...
Now, the player who was railing at me was dead - he had a T32 and two kills and was chewed up in an early rush. I just checked his rep here on the forums and it's -62, which I guess says something... But somehow, all his crap really got to me yesterday, and I've been renting him far too much space in my head since. He isn't the first ignorant so-an-so I've run into playing the game - in fact, I was called a moron and a noob and blamed for losing another game earlier that day because I wouldn't try to run my wounded Tiger across a hundred meters of open space (up hill) while in a peek-a-boom fight with a T32 and a Lowe in order to defend against a cap, but I digress... My point is that this guy was the straw that broke the camel's back, and honestly, right now I don't want to play anymore.
I may not be the best player on the field, but I try to carry my weight, and I do the best I can with what I've got... I try to play intelligently, fill holes where I can, sacrifice my tank on the weak flank to buy time and give the guys on the stronger one a chance to push, that kind of thing... None of that seems to matter to the back-seat haters though - they just decide I'm responsible as a late-game survivor for all the ills that have befallen them that match and that's it... I'm to blame...
Now, the last on-line game I played was Air Warrior back in the days of CompuServe, and the players exhibited respect and amiability and consideration for one another - playing was always fun, failure was good for a laugh, cooperation was high... Things sure have changed... I don't know why these guys have to be so mean and hateful, but it's just so sad and depressing... it's really spoiled the game for me, and I don't want to deal with it for a while...

ARGO: When you get someone like that, send in a pic to support and we
will take care of it from there. People play here to escape RL for
just a little while, no one should have deal with it. In the future
my advice is do not feed them, ignor them and send in a pic.

In-Game Vehicles\Soviet Vehicles\Heavy Tanks\KV-3 Advice?Link on message: #617036
ARGO: How about "All of the above" for you poll answer. The KV3 what I
lovingly call "The cusp tank" is to myself the gate between the
heavies where things start to get reall good. The KV tank was
pretty much a TD meaning you really didn't want to go nose to nose
in battle where as the KV3 has just enough speed and armour to
protect you when you are discovered. KV3s also still run with the
magical 107mm "reach out and touch someone" cannon and on top of
that you now get a descent 122mm that WILL hurt your opponents. As
I said earlier about all of the above, I meant that the KV3 will
allow you now to experiment with different tactics and will be more
forgiving then it's predisessors with mistakes. I would say try
your KV3 with both 107mm and 122mm and run those different
approaches and see what fits your fighting style best.

It just seems like most russian heavy drivers expect their shells to penetrate regardless of aim, and for their armor to automatically block or bounce shots.
Anyways, please explain why the russian heavy line seems to attract the short bus in such droves.

ARGO: It's not only just the Russian tanks, it's any "flavor of the
month" tanks sprinkled in with a serious case of P.U.T.T.S.
"Premature, Upper, Tank, Tier, Syndrome" and you got yourself a
reciepe for failure each and everytime. Right now we are inendated
with a large amount of Lowe + KV5 drivers who have not spent much
time learning the trees and going into matches unprepared and with
the "I am God" complex only to get pawned badly and ofcourse take
the team with them. I do agree with some of the prior posts and
also with your theories but again there is a lot of lemmings out
there who follow the crowd. It's really pretty simple, If you just
take the time and learn the tiers then your gonna win a lot more
and have a lot more fun. I will happily admit that my current stats
now Vs. pre-wipe are night and day and that's proof positive that
having gone through the rigors of climbing each teir the 1st time

100mm D10T/S: Tier 7 - first available at tier 6 - 230hp / 175 pem AP, 330hp / 50 pen HE - RoF 7.06-8.5r/m tanks 9.82r/m td - accuracy 0.37 tanks 0.35 td - aiming time 2.5s tank 2.3s td
90mm M3: Tier 7 - first available at tier 6 - 240hp / 160 pen AP, 320hp / 45 pen HE - RoF 7.31-9.01r/m - accuracy 0.33 - aiming time 2s
The short 88 wins a single solitary category, rate of fire - but this is an entirely pointless victory, because the penetration is so outrageously deficient that it means you simple end up with more bounced shots per minute.
It can't even be argued that the gun has more damage or a greater HE capacity than the 7.5cm, because it finishes last in those categories too.
This gun is so deficient that it makes playing a number of tanks, most notably the 3002 (DB) and Jagdpanther, the most painful grind in the game. With no capacity to reliably damage even their own tier, you're left to rely on getting more low tier games than high, something a tier 7 lie the DB generally never gets.
What this gun desperately needs is much increased penetration, even if it comes at the expense of damage per shell. Simply increasing the rof or accuracy of the gun - short of giving it Konisch levels of super accuracy to hit small weak spots at proper ranges - do nothing but make the problem even worse.

between wot, and playspan.
"We were advised by playspan that due to a playspan/interact maintenance, interact is currently unavailable, no deadline for its return is available atm."
And when followed up for a more exact date.
"This payment method is temporarily disabled. We hope to have it re-enabled within the next day or so. We’ll keep you up-to-date as to our progress."
From the communications it appears Playspan disconnected from interact, they have been asked to switch it back on asap, they have said they will switch it back on asap.
Now, we just need it switched back on.
Until then, I'll keep chasing it up.

The press clans, As far as I'm aware, have competed for 2 pieces of land so far, and lost both times, and thus won NO land.
How is that a huge loss for the wot players?
Even if they did manage to win a worthless landing zone one day. Soon they will be gone, leaving that land to another clan for free.

Tanitha: Hi..
I believe you are referring to this press account clan?
http://uc.worldoftan...ans/1000001125/
They are currently landless.
I believe they fought AOD 2 days ago, and lost?
I didn't see where they were competing yesterday, but I guess they played for a landing zone.
Won a battle against the OP's clan, then lost to another clan. (Since they are currently landless)
I have requested information regarding this clan. And was informed that basically they are press accounts for testing purposes, that shouldn't be there for long.

Game Discussion\Gameplay Discussion\Can't Have 2 Accounts?Link on message: #613700
Tanitha: Hi guys/gals, to clear the above up. The rules are currently.
Each player can have one account on each server.
A Husband, Wife, and 4 kids, can have 6 accounts on each server from the same IP and computer.
IP scanning for multi accounts does not happen, "actively".
So the only time there will be issues with multiple accounts is the two examples below.
1.
If one account is required to be banned for one reason or other, And the player then logs onto the second account to continue offending.
It is likely all accounts on the IP will then be banned for the period of the original offense.
Or, the alt accounts may be perma banned, and the main account banned for a period of time.
2.
If someone makes a new 0 game alt account to break rules, Then the offending alt account will be perma banned, and bans will be placed on the other accounts on the same IP.
IE hitting their main account with the ban.
I hope that makes things clearer.
Have fun.
