    Without doubt my best Stug III score! Won this match by the skin of my teeth. On 5% health I survived by bouncing a shot from the KV-1 and managing to outrun his traverse until I could reload the finishing shot. :pac:

    x3s and some pointless side crap with a patronising title. All the more annoying given that Irish people were/are fundamental to the rise of WoT and WG.

    Dem new sounds!!!

    Slightly in love with them although some of them sound a bit off. I'm liking the slight touch of physics as well. Good patch.

    Love them, but still have most of the WoT audio turned off as I typically listen to YT or radio podcasts in the background.

    They are far more realistic, though they seem to need a bit more bass presence.

    Productive enough day on the game, almost at the research cost of the Panther. Also just researched the KV-85 - what are people's experiences with it?

    ^^ Can I get back the 1 minute and 46 seconds of my life please?

    You know I watch WoT videos all the time but just posting up random segments of crap video (with the game running at 24fps) with you mumbling isn't compelling viewing.

    You aren't tempting me away from Quickybaby.

    Trying to work up to the 90mm cannon on the BDR G1 but for some reason my W/L rate on that tank is atrocious [<30%] along with mediocre performance in most battles so I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere.

    If it helps motivate you, it doesn't get any better. That entire French HT line is just a long miserable grind filled with ****ty tanks and disappointment. Frankly I'd advise leaving it till you exhaust other avenues.

    I've had this tank for months and getting the 90mm is something I want so to improve it. Some particular tanks though in my experience are just bad luck. The French tree is extremely pricey and just doesn't seem worth the grind anymore.

    If anyone's interested in advice, platooning or a joining a group of predominantly irish people in a clan, add me as a friend GreentreeIRL we have 46 active members and are looking for more. Would welcome more experienced players too. BTW Clan does not equal serious commitment, not in ours anyway, we're just a bunch of easy going lads, looking for like minded people to play with. We're not doing clan wars yet as we still lack the numbers of active players to commit but with a few more onboard we'll be competing in that space too.

    Sorry times been banked and secured, you ain't gettin' it back. ;)

    The video is a bit rough and ready, but it's just to get you warmed up a bit. :)

    Something new and curious in WoWs, which could impact WoT.

    There's a new premium carrier, the Saipan coming. But to stop people buying into a high tier and being clueless in one, it's only available as a direct personal offer once conditions are met, including a number of wins and at least one match in a tier 5+ carrier.

    Played against it today and was like I don't know that CV! I was talking to the guy piloting it so much that I didn't realize I had clicked my carrier to move towards the middle of the map ..... until suddenly oh ****.

    So yeah carrier works for tricking other carriers into acts of idiocy. Also THREE Torp Bombers on a US carrier ... OP much?

    That would be fab. Nothing worse than a noob in a T8 tank milling about without a clue.

    There'll be a new premium M41 Bulldog with a 90mm gun coming soon. I'm quite tempted by this, since I have an excellent Ru-251 crew to go in it already.
