    Sadly, they don't, but more than one person has made the 'Haunted Tank' reference while I'm moseying about in my Stuart. Neat cover, what issue is that from?

    I'm running a Stuart and a BT-7 in addition to the A-20. I had a Wespe and a Luchs, but I sold those off to buy the -20. The Leopard is one heck of a light tank! I'll get back into the TDs when I can move over from the T-34 to the SU85.

    What don't you like about the T-34?
    FYI: It's cheaper exp wise to go down the TD tree than jumping from the T-34 to the SU85. T34 jumping is a wopping 40k exp (vs. 20 something for the -85), and it's only around 20k as well through the TD line.

    As for not liking the T34: The only cannon that's halfway decent at punching through armor has a stupid long reload time (vs. the 7.5 L/48 that has the same penetration on the Pz3/4 chassis), and it's a fairly slow tank to it's tier.

    As for the TDs: I'd recommend getting a German one. Better/more fun at lower tiers. It's pretty fun bouncing 88 shells in a hetzer or Stug :P

    Right on- I got the T-34 last night and it's only real advantage over the A-20 is slightly better armor. Still, the 34-85 will make up for what the 34 lacks and (eventually) the T-40 series are pretty impressive.

    Fought a Maus twice last night, same guy, once he killed everyone and the second time we killed him. Tiger2 got a lucky shot.

    Enjoying the Churchill. Armor's good, it's slow, and the gun has a good ROF, even if it's a little weak. Silver bullets should help that.

    Yah, I've found the maus really depends on the rest of the team (and the terrain). First time I ever saw one it took out 11 guys all on it's own by camping the circle. Every time I've seen them since they've been swarmed and then taken out by arty.


    and I hear you on the T-44, can't wait to get my hands on that :P

    Curse you Erco! It's 1.30 in the morning and I'm still running scared in my BT-7, lol.

    Dangerously addictive as the action is only a couple of mouse-clicks away! It's daft but I love it

    It is fun, ain't it?! What name are you playing under? If you havn't already figured it out, using your gold to buy a premium account will pay major dividends in exp and cash.

    Of course, I also saved up to buy a Churchill, that's been fun, too.

    Oh! Last thing- if you've got a crew that's pretty good, bail them out to barracks before you sell a tank, and then move them into your new ride and retrain them (20,000 cr each). Saves the time to bring them back up to snuff.

    I'm playing as ArthurSmedley. It's a made up name for all seasons

    Thanks for the tips Erco. Though I'm no Guderian I think I'm gonna back up a bit and go down the Panzer route.

    Does Rattler know about this little gem?
