Can't wait for that Firefly.
World of Tanks Roll Call
- Thread starter HOA_KSOP
- Start date
Just what I need, more tanks in my garage.
All patched up to v9.5. Plus, it looks like a short grind to the Firefly.
Unfortunately, I just emptied my coffers to research, buy and upgrade the tier 8 Panther 2. He is awesome. Quick, decent armor and a great gun. Everything you could want in a Medium. He snipes and brawls equally well. Currently, my favorite medium. And that is saying something because I have the Centurion 1 and Centurion 7/1.

I wouldn't put too much effort/expense into getting the Firefly.
As I suspected, the Fury is better in almost all areas.

The Firefly has the TOG2's gun. Nuff sed.
OK, will give you that. Takes a while to get to that 17Pdr though.
Even when you do the Fury's 76mm ROF is still 50% faster along with better max, turret/track traverse speed.
You know me and brute force, but the Fury just dances across the battlefield and is great fun to drive.

Nort & I just finished running a platoon for 8-9 battles and we did pretty well and it was great fun. He even got a TG with SEVEN kills. 
If you use Skype and would like to join in just keep an eye out for us as we are on a lot. Me on and off all day, being "retired guy."

Sometimes battles just unfold nicely. Seven kills is not my norm. And truth be told, I ninja'd two of those kills. Platooning is definitely fun when you are on Skype and can communicate throughout.
Oh, and it was in my VK 36.01.

Grrr. Tried to do a <screen print> but FRAPS failed and I have no idea why.
Anyway, like I told you, I'd sold my Pz IV and had a good German crew in the barracks doing nothing so I used up a chunk of my free exp and picked up the JgdPanther II we coveted. I like it as expected. It fills in my need for brute force nicely. It's good to be on the giving end for a change. I only have 2-3 tanks in my garage that aren't elite, in one way or the other, so I don't really have a lot to spend my free exp on. Thus, I went for instant gratification.
I don't have the Tier X, 128mm gun yet as that's another 63,000 exp which is a bit much, even for me. The 105 mm (244/320) fills the gap for now. Something to look forward to.

It caught me by surprise because I didn't see any "news" from WG about it like they usually post. However, this is the 3rd day that the experience bonus for your first tank win of the day is 5x! That really adds up quick. I'm guessing it will probably run through the rest of the weekend, hopefully.
Hilarious. The commentary is priceless. Nice kill with your Vickers Mk III.
Just watched this... very entertaining commentary ... funny thing is that both battles were fought on terrain you should NEVER send tanks in to fight...LOL.
Well, at least never send Bootie's tank anyway.
However, a wise tanker once told me "You are a noob player until you've logged 10,000 battles" so he's got a way to go yet.
The highest amount of battles played that I've ever seen by one player is 50,000. Whew.
Check that. Now 51k.
