I was wondering if we'd ever get together enough players for some sort of YF clan. But don't think we'd have the consistent numbers. 


Allegedly

I know plenty playing now but how many would be keen is the challenge.

For example:.

I can't see it beoing Ed's cup of tea, right Munk?

I have a group from work and their mates that are playing - up to six of them and they are good but ex-clan players in Battlefield and happy not to clan currently.

Chuck in Junior News and his mate Matti. who are okay but not great.

Then those of us here (Uber needs to transfer from NA :-) ) 

We could get to twenty but not many of them seem to be interested.


tbh.  not sure I am.

Ha.  Missed the email.  It was in a notification of somethign Twitter on my phone so I missed it.

Shall i hold of until you speak with Ed.   Realistically my winrate is grossly inflated from platting with you two.

so, as end game content for folks that progressed to Tier10, they implemented clan wars where regions on a map are battled over -various locations on the map give a gold reward per day, which is shared amongst the clan members who hold that territory - prior to the below changes, all battles were fought by Tier10 tanks and the clans would practice strategies in training rooms. Soon clan wars will be expanded to campaigns which involve various Tier battles as well, so there may be Tier4 only battles, so various clans will be on the lookout for lower tiered players with a bit of experience. Some of the more powerful clans have associate clans that help train and develop newer players

I was out of pocket (after the game) some 4,000 credits, but hey - the power of gold rounds (mostly frontal pen too) - against Mal's previously untouchable arch nemesis...the KV-1S...

Lost 11 out 14 to finish...bitter...about the horrible heavies...and the meek mediums...played all alright though...killed plenty...my first losing Top Gun (would have been epic if I'd won)...Mal with gold rounds versing tier V and VI is a completely new beast...just have to remember that they're probably not necessary versing tier IV though...will go stone broke - in credits - otherwise...lost 16,000 credits in one game alone when Mal went ape...spose nothing a weekend of premium can't fix...

I've had to drop the amount of Gold I'm schlepping in the T40 as it just gets too expensive and you end up using it on things where a couple of normal AP shells out of the machine gun firing rate would do the job.

The problem is if you have it you use it.

Even biffing them in my new favourite tier II toy the H35.

So much carrying rom Ed and Munk.

http://www.noobmeter.com/tank/sea/BT-7

No one runs a BT-7 for 200 games apparently if my 53% gets me in the top 10.

The only other thing I'm close to 200 battle in is the S-85b.  10 more.

My Matilda sits and waits for some loving.  Have won 6 of 10 in her in total

I try to save the gold shells for those special moments when there is a Churchill, KV1,AT2 and T1 heavy bearing down on me

I'm high 65s in my Su-85b.  Just noticed I'm second to you in recent in the SU-85b.

I've watched that three times and lol every time I see their little guns scanning the hills and skies trying to work out how they had the game won but all got smashed by invisible enemies.

Best bit is that if it happened again they would still have no idea what smashed them and we could do it again.

I never feel sorry for heavies -and that battle was no exception -it was one of those laugh out loud while firing at big dumb blind heavy tank moments you get from time to time

I was firing HE at the KV-1 by the end as I'd used up everything else.  Couldn't pen him.  Would have had his arse otherwise.  Top damage in Tier V battle though.

Oh... and Ace Tankered the FCM.

1) Trying to get my victories +100 over defeats is taking a bloody age...

2) French AMX 40?  I know they're tough - but they look very cool...with the right camo scheme - stunning...or Valentine II Russian premium?

3) Highlight of tonight's campaign (at the Arctic):

I don't think so buddy/noob...(those two dead friendlies did naff btw}...

Sometimes a man needs guts...

I might have found the first gold tank that I really like - the Russian Valentine.  A tier IV ONLY winner (she cannot fight in higher tier battles)!  Val runs much like Mal...minus the incredible pen gun (gold rounds solves that issue somewhat - though it's sending me broke...need to start using these more wisely) and her amour - though it's decent.  Slightly more pacey...Love her rear too...looks so ripped...

Haven't been on all evening but Platted a little earlier and it went wrong.

Must be running about 30% on the night.


Waiting for 8.6 test to load so I can play the normal game!

Giggles.  Played Clan wars for the first time tonight.

We had 13 and I used my Hellcat.  They were all tier X.

Smashed.

6 points.

She died to the enemy's last remaining 2% SPG, but hey I'm not surprised in her "Ace Tanker" status...a poorer version of Mal, but with gold rounds (is this cheating? - somebody called another player a "coward" for using them! but she'd be somewhat unusable without them), she's a massive threat at tier IV...

LOL I've been shocking recently.

Bad news every :(

Vickmeist is now a Tank Commander - World of Tanks - tremble!!!!!

She should actually be quite good at it as her skills where honed to death playing Crash Bandicoot type games. Also can type professionallly and played the piano. So nimble keyboard skills should she her as a med tanker I reckon.

Currently giving the T-28 a go. A blast if you play it as a sniper. Not amazing stuff but steady and fun to be in a tank.

So you guys joined a clan then??

Munk and I (and probably Ed) have joined PBLAK which is kind of a junior of PBCAK.

All it's really delivered so far is a target on the front of my tanks and a smashing in clan wars.  Also a terribly run of luck in our STuGs.
