That's a serious looking patch. Looking forward to ... everything, really.
Hah! Excellent.
Really with the turreted American Tank Destroyers (M-10 Wolverine, M-18 Hellcat, M-36 Jackson) were going to be in at release. They're on the officially published "Full American Tech Tree" but not the "Release Tech Tree".
It's really odd that it doesn't default those 2 dropdowns to the tank the crewman is sitting in.
[partypooper] I get the feeling that at this point it's not important to people here, but they did say recently that though we can now post screenshots, the NDA is still in effect and that's why there is a separate beta forum that is closed on the official forums. Things like the incoming patch notes aren't public knowledge and anyone who needs them can see them on the official site. [/partypooper]
Could someone post a screenshot of the patch notes?
(kidding!)
I'm guessing we shouldn't even be talking about the beta except in really vague terms.

technically that's correct, but it didn't help the first time ;)
fairly doubtful they would look here or possibly care, but there is the possibility of losing beta access if they do.
It has tanks.
The tanks shoot and when they hit one another, sometimes they blow up. Boom.
I like how tanks are used on the earth, they could have done it in space you know
Hey I saw ydeijin in a match the other day! I shot at him but missed... then I was asploded by some bloody monster...
Hah, glad you missed. Are you going by Soapyfrog in game? Join the Qt3 channel in game where we can all discuss the game without violating the NDA:
Oh yeah I should definitely do that. Thanks for reminding me! Yep I am Soapyfrog in game.
I saw both you guys in-game the other day! In fact, I think I killed Soapyfrog on a hill (I was thesadpunk in a Pz. IV).
I think I've shot at and maybe even killed most of Qt3 in my time in the game. I go by the name of schurem.
Made it to the t43 yesterday. very much fun tank. does run at a loss without premium sadly. It feels good to be able to punch holes in things like panthers and tigers. Should have bolted that 10cm gun onto the 34-85 as well.
Had a buddy over for the weekend, who has taken a real love for artillery. Dude ground out the million credits needed for that t43 using a stupid looking soviet tier3 artillery gun.
I cant wait to see how the game gets rebalanced in a couple weeks. On the one hand they are making it even more grindilicious, as befits the bussiness plan. On the other hand, the tier 6 and 7 medium tanks are said to become less steeply priced. And what about the equipment rework?
You'll see me online as Lokust2501. I know I've seen Soapy on the other team. So far I'm loving my upgraded PzIV and also having fun with Stug and Grille
The fully upgraded PzKw IV is the first tank that's really competitive. The Stug III with the same gun feels very similar. Less armor and no turret, but low profile and very fast turning. I've tried to do a run-around to the back of a Stug III in a Pz IV and the thing spun in place as fast as I could drive by. I'm not even taking into account the slow rotation speed of the upgraded turret, it's really not possible to flummux a Stug III that way as you can Hetzers and Marders.
I loved the Bison in Recruit Battles, but I'm not loving the Hummel. I bypassed the tier 3 and 4 SPGs by researching the Hummel with the PzKw IV, and I'm finding it's really inaccurate, and tends to do minimal damage if you don't get a direct hit. Yeah, the upgraded gun does a lot of damage, but its armor penetration isn't very high.

I hate the upgraded turret on the PzIV and everyone who drives around with it mounted on their tank. It's so ugly I can't bear to look at it.
Send me the xp and credits for the Tiger I, and I promise you'll never see my ugly upgraded PzIV again!
Real men drive around in the standard turret.
When I use the big turret I miss the quick traverse to pin down lights up close, but I find that I prefer to stick with other people to make me less susceptible to light tanks, and in that case the big gun will one or two shot many of them. Also, it's nice to be able to damage heavies besides the KV, or some of the heavier mediums like the panther. I'm really looking forward to the (imaginary) VK3601 which seems to whup my butt most of the time no matter what I'm driving. Part of me wonders if I should be working toward a panther rather than a Tiger though, but I suspect I'll have time to max out all options from the PzIV before I amass the million credits to buy a VK3601 anyway.
Despite amassing 75k exp I need for the JagdPanther and new suspension, in the same time I've only made 500k creds. Even if I change all my gold I'll be 500k short.
The set up seems slightly borked. If I research the Jagdpanther now, the xp I make in the forthcoming 500k credit grind will cost a fortune in gold to transfer to free xp, but if don't research it until I have 1.6m++ creds I need, it will be transferred automatically on researching the next tank and turning my Jgpz IV into an elite?
You always have to pay gold to convert xp into free xp.
Doh, I couldn't remember what I did when I last went up a tier. I guess I'll now have to grind a million creds, so I can save the gp to convert the xp I make in the grind.
Don't forget that you're also gaining skill on your crew in the process!
I got an extra beta key in my email today, since I'd signed up on the website before getting one from the Curse giveaway. Anyone need?
By the time you hit the JagdP tier, you'll be 100/110 on all crew and probably well along the way to maxing your specialties.
If you haven't transferred some crew to start working in another tank, sure! :)
I guess.
I just can't imagine using an expensive ride like a JgPz IV with a scrub crew. Losses add up quick. New tanks can afford the losses and it's not like a crack crew helps that much; whether you fire faster or not that 50mm gun will still not penetrate.
