Two accounts here. I have a Maus on one, and I'm working toward a second on the other while I keep the maus parked and work on a maxed out Hummel.

So it WAS you that I got into some friendly fire with. All us DICE guys weren't sure if it was the real Verone or an imposter.

Also for Hummel, get camo net + gun drive + rammer. That's what I have on mah Elite Hummel, can't wait for the Geschutzwaggen Panther.

Fun game. I keep going back to the Jagdpanther. Gets across the map into good positions fast and can still hurt anything in the game.

Started the American tree. Watched Kelly's Heros too many times as a kid.

'Graelyn' exists, I usually roll with the EdgeGamers folks (whose EVE corp is in my Alliance).

I run arty, mostly.

I have browsed this game's website this weekend and it does look particularly good in my view.  The ability to play on a match-to-match basis and return when free rather than being obliged to play definitely adds to its appeal.

How much time investment has it taken people to get to the higher tiers of tanks in their experience?

My big question: does it have a Linux client or do I have to play with the settings and patch wine to run it?

Learn to aim. Aiming is everything. You should almost never use auto-aim. Against TDs, try to hit the tracks. Against American heavies and some mediums, try to hit the hull (sherman is weak everywhere, of course). Against German tanks, hit the back. For the Russian tanks, good luck - their sloped armor makes damaging them very difficult.

Russian TDs are deadly but inaccurate at longer ranges and slower than german counterparts (mostly). German TDs, save for the Hetzer, tend to be death on wheels. As a light tank driver, most of the time you will be simply scouting for the artillery. Keep moving, expect to die, and track whatever you can. Honestly, I found light tanks to be less fun - I love the TDs, but TDs require a specialized sort of play. Try a bit of everything, and go with what you enjoy most.
