We ought to get involved in the clan war side of things and see if we can scrape some gold together maybe

Champion companies is all about heavies and a couple of arties.

IS-3, KT or T-32 all FU making them better than their premium counterparts. Maybe one med if you feel generous and possibly a t5 light but these are only useful on a few maps.

Mahnsikir · 4 Jan 2012 at 19:02

See that is what has always put me off companies, that its almost a waste using a medium instead of a heavy of the same tier and I just find mediums more fun to play, but ah well. Only other tank I would consider taking into a T8 company battle would be an ISU with the BL-10, as its damage far out weighs anything else on T8 but it would really depend on the map and keeping it safe to make it properly effective.

Good news though 7.1 (French tanks) should be out tomorrow, woo! Not played in a while bar the odd one off day but decided to get some premium last night so hopefully will be on more often for the next wee while.

Janey; you're going to have your work cut out grinding up those tiers!

Surely free XP is better spent eliting tanks and not researching them. Eliting a t9 heavy is going to be 200k on its own; and playing one stock must be one of the most painful things since an M3 Lee.

Le_Petit_Lapin · 5 Jan 2012 at 17:37

Was pondering re-subbing this, so went on the official forums to see whats new.

First thread I see, "Nerf KV!!".

So nothings changed then?

Edit: Ah, the French tanks are in now? how are they working out?

Evilsod · 5 Jan 2012 at 19:38

Too soon to say. Not been 24 hours yet and only the truly demented (sorry dedicated

) will have a high tier one and still not enough battles played to comment.

Gotta agree, better to get the necessary modules with free exp if you wanna use it. Some tanks are just plain horrific at stock.

I play my KV every now and then as it's still not elited and it regularly (50% of the time I reckon) puts me in games with multiple tier 9 tanks. I'm sure it has been adjusted on the matchmaker like this to make it less overpowered.

Evilsod · 6 Jan 2012 at 18:20

My 'most kills' stat is now forever tainted...

Hid behind the building on the right side most of the game shooting from round the corner and through the 'window'. Pushed into the field for my 9th kill to get a D1 hiding behind the wreckage of 3 other tanks, hid for a bit after getting shot by an invisible tank, then went and got my 10th.

Can anybody here invite me to the OcUK clan? Bigbadleopard is my username.

I had an account called General_Bradley yet I can't remember what email account I used to sign up. I tried all of my email addresses and nothing, did we have to register with emails during beta?

i have over 30 tanks now and all but about 3 or 4 are elite so getting some more free xp if needed is no problem

and i did go and get the tier 7 light and the tier 6 and 8 heavies

Just a quick bump to see if we can get any new players online. There are a fair few OcUKers playing and we are all pretty friendly. So if anybody feels like giving it a go, get online and join the clan....

Delboy · 11 Jan 2012 at 15:34

Company games seem to have stopped though

there are plenty of us around as well.

We ought to see if we can get into the global battles as well at some point, would be good to earn some gold. We'd probably get trashed a lot to start with but at least we'd have given it a go as I see the same people on regularly.

Hodders · 11 Jan 2012 at 16:44

I've been desperately grinding my IS4/T32. Basically, T32 battle, die/win, IS3 battle, die/win, Type 59, battle die/win.

in the last week I've ground out 170k XP !!!!

My poor ferdi/T44/Pershing have just been so ignored....

I like the idea of some company battles, but my PC is in the spare bedroom, my wife tends to go to bed at about 10.30 and so I cant really use mumble as she will get woken up.

Delboy · 11 Jan 2012 at 17:34

You don't necessarily have to say anything. If someone takes command and issues location/orders etc - then typing suffices as a comms medium.

Unless your spelling is as good as Tefals

Easiest to lead as an artillery anyway since you can see what vehicles are where at any distance rather than just seeing the icon, plus you can more easily spot fallen trees/destroyed scenery.

Oh and a heads-up

Starting from Thursday, January 12th, 06:30 GMT until Tuesday, January 17th, 06:00 GMT, enter the game to sample the opportunities.

Loving the French tanks (after tier 4) so fun and different to drive. They are little ninja tanks, so fragile but if you catch something unaware you can rip them to shreds.

New replay system is kinda nifty as well, just make sure you tick the box in the options so it saves replays.

Best game since the end of beta exp wise, shows how fun french lights can be if there are any doubters Linky (just need the client installed to run the replays)

daver · 13 Jan 2012 at 23:20

Nice game, hadn't seen that replay function before its pretty cool
