Let me know when you do!

I'm back into the game- I couldn't stay away.
It's almost like the draw of "WoW" you want to get to the next "good stuff" and score some kills.

For me, as I mentioned, I wanted to play the Hetzer but the underpowered 75/L43 just made it frustrating to play in this game. But I kept popping back in to play it on & off until I got enough point to upgrade to the 105mm.

The gun was a big improvement and I started enjoying the "sniping" aspect. So... I kept playing until I could buy the StugIII, and am having a blast playing again. I'm working to upgrade to the 75/L48 so I can get the 75/L70.

So far:
Hetzer- battles 99, kills 53
StugIII- battles 30, kills 21

M37 Arty- battles, 92 kills 54
SU-26 Arty- battles 72, kills 21

Now- all tanks are tiered & grouped together Tier 1-4 / Tiers 5-10
The Hetzer is T4 and thus I was battling equal or lower tier tanks in it.
The Stug is T5 so I'm at the low end of that group fighting higher tier tanks but my kill ratio is much higher. I'm also surviving more.

Survival:

Hetzer 31%
StugIII 40%
M37 33%
SU-26 31%

My only issue is too liberal "spotting" between units. Of course this is not counting the unrealistic Arty spotting method (seeing every target your teammates can see) being able to look down on the map.

It's quick and fun and will be much more so when you actually get a team together instead of 15 random teammates.
