Woz.. do you have vox (microphone?).
Platoon is only worth while if you can directly communicate.
Platoon is also most fun when acting in cohesion, eg: a scout working with artillery, or 2 heavies pushing one flank together.

Most of the time I'm doing something else building,painting etc while I listen to music on my headphones. Every now and again I have a battle just to stop me going cross eyed. I only play properly very late at night and my girlfriend is behind me watching TV/doing paperwork so she won't be happy if I start yelling at people online. I have a loud voice and when I'm concentrating on a battle I forget how loud I am.

Okay... sounds like that's a no then! Today, I managed this: probably the most kills to date. (I had one stolen from me too, they were down to 6hp and the arty finished them off. Fair enough, I like arty support!)

I hate that! You've smashed him down to minimal hp and then someone kill steals, woke my kid up loads screaming at the tv
Btw that's a good K\D ratio

I don't want to platoon but I have to if I want to complete the missions.
Damn you WG with your shiny premium tanks.

the lessons I have learnt from Emptyhat are paying off: I can now use scout vehicles! (a little, sometimes). by the way, the little number 1 in the bottom left is you WOZ... we can platoon up and operate without comms if you think it'll work.

You did pretty well in the last game given the tier. I got stuck with an unhappy job but it was fun. That last red arty must have felt pretty pleased with itself though.

aye.. was fun
sorry about my quick exit; my computer is crashing at the moment - I think it's probably that it needs a clean and is over heating due to lack of air circulation.

yay.
gave the machine a clean and it's running a full 30 degree's cooler.
- adkenpachi: the install takes about 2 hours to download and unpack. I re-installed mine recently as it was crashing... then I checked the the temperature!

Ive just ordered a corsair h80i anyway Upgraded motherboard so I can tripple crossfire gpus at a later date, put in an fx8350 processor and a little extra ram so I just need a new SSD next month and graphics card soon then I can play ANYTHING on max stats... but as for w.o.t, il have no issue. The new h80i cooler is because my new processor was too much for the crappy £2 fan I had... played bf4 and checked temp... 78degrees c

Despite losing I got the most exp- The really annoying thing was that I was going for my X3 exp and I got it next match with only 200exp

Lol, that can't have done thier scores any favours. Why do people hate capping so much?

"don't cap, don't cap!!"
"Kill them don't cap!"
yeah.
I will cap, it wins the game and everyone that's alive gets more experience that way.
Too often I have seen a small disorganised group die to a well placed enemy instead of capping.

Not to mention half the time they are asking you to give up on points you get on capping so they can gamble on getting points for themselves hunting.
There is a reason that those enemies are still alive and your lazy camper hides are part of it.

Am now trying to learn the art of 'hit and run' with both the Luchs (german scout) and the M8A1 (US tank destroyer).
Both are a lot of fun to play - glass cannons the pair of them yet can give amusing, fast paced, high risk games.
Similar to the Pz1c really.
I find scout tanks very hard to play effectively being some what of a heavy / sniper, however all styles give good lessons.

I love just hanging back a little and letting the chimps rush around getting picked of. Then I begin!
I'm loving it at the mo, I've gone from light/scouting vehicles to heavy's.

Just picked up the Churchill VII the only thing I upgraded was the engine and I took it out for the first battle to earn points for the carriage. Team lost and I still got the award for being in 80% of Churchill VII drivers... what the heck kind of players drive this tank?
