Flames of World of Tanks

Well.. THANK GOD I was in the middle of a hobby bonanza when I heard the WWPD gang talk about WoT, and then Loth convinced me to d-load it last night. Now I am hooked, and need to know a few things as I try and save up enough credits to get out of my Leichtetraktor.. One, how do I join the WWPD clan, since Joyous and Loth are in it already as well as Terrain guy, and 2: I NEVER see any Panzerjager's or Bison;s.. are thyey tier 2? or is it just NO ONE uses them because they are useless?

Any info helps, thanks guys. I plan on painting tonite, each time my tank dies, I have a few minutes to paint, , hence Flames of World of Tanks!!

  1. Yup the die + paint works pretty well :)

    To join WWPD click here: http://game.worldoftanks.com/clans/1000000766/ and there will be an apply button.

    Click on "tech tree" when you are in the garage to see what the currently available tanks; the link below is what they are working towards:

    No idea if they are any good -- went the tank route in beta and up to a Jadgpanzer IV now.

  2. http://wotskins.wordpress.com/ this is a site with different skins for the tanks as well, makes them look a lot better.

  4. Oh ya -- a huge help is updating your icons. Then when you run into a tank you can hit alt and see their tier: then you know if it's best to fight or flight.

  6. I made sure to research all avenues in the Tier 1 tanks, and then sold off the Cunningham and the MS1, and bought an AT-1, which looks like a Stug, and the m57, which is just a 105mm mounted on a tankette. So now I have 4 t2 tanks, and the leichte traktor.. which I just cant sell right now, for whatever reason I always do super well in it.

    Just need to hot-swap my 4 main tanks and build up credits to get into whichever tier3 tank I decide on..

    OH.. sometimes i see a flashing red triangle pointing down.. is that how you indirect fire? How do I get that to work? or do I need to get a better radio to get within command distance of scouting tanks? <-- Artillery noob here.

  7. I guess I can expect to see more unpainted models on the FoW battlefield! ;)

  8. "sometimes i see a flashing red triangle pointing down."

    Hit F1 to see help. I think it's someone on your team who has targeted someone and is hoping for focused fire.

    For arti I think to get into indirect mode you hit shift? Then click on the minimap?
