So, French tanks in 7.1, and the patch is already on the Russian test server.

Yay.

What, the patch for 7.0 is already on the Russian server?

Also, I've decided I want to go for the Porsche Tiger. I'm only 4K exp away from it, and it is a bit of a beast.

Patch 7.1 is on the Russian test server already. It should be out in a week or two on the American side.

factbook is WiP. but a basic overview of our species is below:

State religion: not enforced but every member of the species follows the Cult of Pas Mathéma in some fashion.
Goverment type: Council of 5 heading a technocratic fuedalist society
Govermental sovereignty: protectorate of the 44th independant legion; large independant but ceding to them for interstellar politics and trade
Military power: on an FT schale next to nothing, since our total number of starships is for now 0.

So, I'm just now joining WoT as we speak; I can't fill the form out yet... Any tips/suggestions/etcetera?

EDIT: Ok, I've taken a long, hard look at the tech trees, and I'm thinking about upgrading to PzKpfw 35(t), then the 38(t), and then the Pz.38NA. From there on out, should I go for the Hetzer, or the Panzer IV? I think I'll do Panzer IV, because it leaves my options open.

I've had the time to do both, albeit I skipped the 38nA.

I like the Hetzer a lot - it seems to get a lot of stick and people also seem to prefer the 10.5cm over the 7.5cm gun. I prefer the PaK.

But, on the flipside, I really, really like the PIV with the schmalturm and the L70.

I'd say you've really got to find your own way. I've a tendency to treat every vehicle I've got like a TD, lurking in cover to await my prey.

And I've never played as arty.

I do NOT plan to spend my money on artillery, nor do I want to invest in light tanks with weak guns; when I shoot someone, I'd like to kill them the first time, you know? One shot, one kill- the sniper's credo. I'll likely play ambush predator a lot as well, yet another role that requires a heavy main gun.

How fast do you get cash, though?

hmm... I've had a number of 1 shot kills with arty, I've also had to shoot half my ammo at a tank to get it down (but that was a tier 9 premium heavy tank, so for a tier 4 arty, not so bad XD)
and if you want that, go TD, for accuracy, go german, for pure damage go soviet. I'm soviet.

Heh, I'm German. I like actually shitting hit.

It does depend - at first, it has a tendency to trickle in. I can get roughly 20K a game for my Level 5s - my PIV and my T-25. The latter, however, is a premium tank. The only one I bought, but then I was taken by it as soon as I saw it.

I'm still happy with my churchill, though getting matched in a tiger -2 only match, with a few jagdpanthers and teir 7 arty thrown in for good measure isn't the healthiest place for me.

Bleh, I realised I'm actually a lot further away from the Porsche Tiger than I thought.

I had to buy the turret upgrade for the VK3001(P).

That pissed me off.
