My weekend mission is to grind the SU-76 which is doing my head in to get to a T34.

News - Ive just checked the tech tree -there is no direct research path from the SU76 to the T34 -i guess you can stop grinding the su76 unless you want the SU85b.

To get the t34, you go BT2-BT7-A20 (which is terrible) - T34 -which is fun

I thought there was a branch after the SU85b?

Oh well.  I'm committed now.  The T34 will have to wait while I open up the Russian line.

Of course this is only when platooning a T40 doesn't interrupt.

 Ah. Bugger.

I purposely wasted a friendly last night: "Ayran Brotherhood" or something like that.  Was that OK?

Yes and No.

From an 'in game' point of view no and there are consequences of doing that.

In a 'real world' point of view Yes.  OK.

 You can pres Ctrl in the game and right click on a name and complain about things.  You might be able to claim an offensive name.

I want to go the Japanese route for tanks - if they were available!  So I'll use Chinese models instead...really want to use the Chi-ha in action.  I know it must be awful...but I've always had a soft-spot for the quirky Jap armour...

I had a nightmare run the last 24 hours. Did my grind through the BT2 and the SU-76 but win rates were appalling. Even my usually trusty tier 2 tanks couldn't save me. Including being rammed by some suicidal twat in a BT-2 on Province.

Think my last 24 hours is 40 odd battles at under 30%. Dropped my overall wins to 55%

I've got a Chi-ha.

It lasted 90 seconds.  My boys are still desperately inexperienced...

Maybe "Banzai" isn't such a good name, just got wasted by a friendly "Chinese_Power"...

Upgraded to a higher velocity gun.  Better turret.  Inscriptions to keep "Chinese Power" happy.  I'm ok against early war tanks...Just rammed my first tank at Prokhorovka...but still have massive panic attacks when under fire...

Yeah I'm the same when under fire actually. Any tips? Not too bad in my MkII. Have the highest win rates in various med tanks. 

Shit!  I just destroyed a Mark IV special!

 GAH!  WOT down.

making me rage! Ive only got an hour or so today..

 Back.  Poor start though

Now:

And it's getting munched.

 My BT is a nightmare.  No part of me is a tank commander.

Some resource material for you bunch of WoTs:

This last one I haven't read.  The others were a long, long time ago.
