Well, Salamander would be something like Tier V light in game terms, but with very devastating gun if mounting 76mm Module damage all over the place With 30mm RARDEN it would be hard, but then with APDS it would have great penetration (for WoT autocannons )

Nice addition to the forum.
Welcome!!!!

One of the reasons I love WOT is the amount of effort that goes into the design/spec/functionality of each Tank from a historical slant. There are similarities in Basic Tactics- Fire positions (Hull up/Turret Down etc), use of the terrain, and perhaps the most critical of all "Team Work". But most of all its fun to play, I wish the same could have been said about the amount of hours spent on Tank Simulators during Training.


There are some awesome players out there who on a regular basis kick my butt. Learning all the time.

Take Care

hello mr. cutland.

"Slamander" looks like its an ex-Scorpion with the gun whooped out and a drain pipe in its place, that also looks like BATUS?

Howdy ho there

I hope we will meet on the battlefield

Good luck and have fun

Thank you for your answer I've seen a documentary recently about "noobie" US troops training to operate tanks. When I saw the simulators I realy thought they should play WOT on those because the simulator graphic effects suck! LD

Hello thereee!

you can make him happier by making Tiger I better :G like lowering it's repairs

Spot on   on all three accounts.

Hello The_Challenger,

I was just wondering if you could tell us a bit about the main battle tanks of the modern age, compared to the ones we see in the game? Only in a general sense of course. What are main differences, similarities or peculiar notes. Please remember I am asking from a.. let's say "civilians" perspective though.. I don't really know much about tanks except for what one can learn from the WoT game.

I didn't really give one whit (?) about tanks until I started playing this game, that's when I started getting interested in the WWII-era tanks.. Then I saw this wonderful clip from Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson gets chased around by a Challenger 2 tank (http://www.youtube.c...h?v=-wKfpPrRVIo). Hilarious! That's when I got interested in the modern MBTs as well, such as the Challenger 2, Leopard 2, M1A2 Abrams etc.

I've tried to find interesting (documentary-style) clips about these on youtube, but the few I find just seem to be focused on promoting one tank, and if you try to read any of the "discussions" going on there.. Well..   So this goes for everyone else out there as well, if you know of a good source of tank info, youtube or otherwise, and it's not too boring & technical, please post it here!

I realize this became a bit long and unfocused, so to sum up: Please tell us a bit about modern MBTs compared to WWII-era tanks (& tank tactics) and also if you will, a bit about modern MBTs in general.

Thanks & have a great day!

Thanks...

So any amusing stories?
Possibly involving unsupecting peope and a two packets of screech power in the canteen?

Hi The_Challenger! Great to have you on World of Tanks.

Wow! Welcome Mr. Cutland, this is a thread I'll surely bookmark and follow!

The most absurd feature in WoT in my opinion is the detracking and magical self-repair in the midst of the battle by an invisible crew I'd like to ask to what level is the modern MBT crew self-sufficient when it comes to tank repairs? Certainly you don't carry spares around in a magical repair kit... What is achievable by the crew in field conditions or is the support always so near you don't have to worry about it?

It would be nice to go out to BATUS to see some tank training, were you based in Canada?
