Eh, I can see what you mean there. But as far as turret position and overall appearance I think Titan has it.

They do look alike, don't they? I hope I'm not just looking like a fool here.

Terrible mistake on my part, that came up on a Google search of T-34 variants.

Firstly, thank you, I am now a little mad at Wargaming for bringing that fake tank into the world. Second, I never mentioned anything about bringing anything to the game. I just pointed out visual similarities between an in-game tank and a real-life one. And a few fake ones from another game... I can understand the argument with that tank being fictional, but "T-34" was taken as a username. I'll not offend or anything anymore to historians or whatever this might offend.

Both Hornet and Wasp with Railgun are annoying. I hate to say it, but I do not like Railgun at all, that's why I want to improve by using a combo people will mock. So to the people who will mock me: I'm unique and original. You're copying an E-sports combo.

One, Soviet, two, none. I don't play WOT.

Hello everyone, some of you know me as "The guy who wrote those guides", others a fully-hypocritical sarcastic anti-drugger. Both are true in their own right, but today I'm doing something different! I will be using an alternate account for a personal challenge. I noticed that Titan-Railgun looks similar to the real-life Soviet T-34: So my goal is to make it to at LEAST Warrant Officer one using my T-34 combo and nothing else, aside from whatever paint I end up buying. My reason for doing this is simple: I am not good at using Railgun. By using this combo specifically I believe my performance will improve, due to the oddity of the combo. "But Titan-Railgun is a terrible combo!" I hear you typing now... One word "Wasp". Case in point, if those "pros" can play with their Wasps, why can't I break from the norm and use a seemingly impractical combination? Wish me luck, I might see you out there. (My username is T-34-3m if you're actually interested.)

Nice to see things have been productive here.

Well, my day's been rather boring and that made me laugh. Thanks.

For me: Master sergeant. It got boring after that, everybody knows your tricks.

The turret works fine, the option to zoom manually would remove it's key strength: Charging while scoped. If they remove that, an already unpopular turret will become a nonexistent one.

Y'see, now you set yourself up for more backlash. Now instead of seeing the nine-thousand or so downvotes you have to read through that backlash and try to find something constructive.

I play on lower ranks because of all the crap we warrant officers have to go through. It's just a big grind for me, no fun to it at all. We are FORCED to grind through druggers and mults. I have no motivation to do that, so no, I do NOT have an account over WO4. But believe me, I have some experience with Shaft.

Which weapon would your recommend for a noob account? I can't decide between Firebird and Twins.

You people make my day... I'm not going to bother arguing, I'll leave that to everyone else.

Being one who uses the unusual combo of "Shaft-Hornet", I can confirm it IS in fact possible to return flags as a Shaft. But I'm not the kind that's kill obsessed. My strategy is: Stop, fire, run.

Yeah they do look good, but everyone has gone pants-on-head insane over them. It tops the "Gold box pls admin" in the most spread across the game. I would LOVE to own them, no doubt there, I was just curious about exactly what makes them that much of a big deal.

Want to take your criticism somewhere else? I gave up because of all the BS I have to go through. Something your rank may not understand, I have to deal with druggers, mults, and bull**** buyers. You want to know experience? Your boots are hardly soiled.

And that's fine and dandy, but saving up the crystals and getting each individual upgrade seems like more of an accomplishment.

True that, I just wanted some foresight on that.

Well no need to feel bad, it's intended as a very basic guide and a few pointers. Nothing to help them dominate, just enough to help them survive.

Never said anything about purchasing them. If it's really just cosmetic I'll just use M3 turrets once I gain the money.

All I'm saying is you'll have more competition there. But you're right. Highland is easy to snipe in, it's perfect for new Shaft users who need practice. The red base has a total of three spots to give you a HUGE sweep of the area.

For all the newcomers I would recommend honing your skills on Highland first, then move to more open maps like Future and the like.

Well allow me to fill you in: I gave up on that account. Now I go to the lower ranks and offer assistance to those that need it. This game is going downhill, I mostly stick to the forums to see what piece of crap update comes next. I create these guides because it makes me feel like I've gained something from playing the game. In this case: Knowledge and tips for newcomers. Also, my main hull is M0 because I don't buy crystals.
