I can't even get my account back, after these years Dyre. I've tried.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I have only ever played the mobile version in iPad. Neat game. But the sizes of the playable field of battle is way too small. Not every tank battle should be a close range knife fight. Some tank battles engage at 2000 yards. Also, there aren't enough different playable fields to keep me interested.

The mobile version ain't the same game at all - leastwise, not the Android version, which I assume is the same in IOS.

What do I have in my garage... good question...
Lights:
- T-127 (USSR, tier 3, premium)
- Tetrarch (USSR, tier 2, premium)
- T1 Cunningham (US, tier 1 - used as extra barracks)
- T7 Combat Car(US tier 2, premium, crap... don't know why I haven't sold it yet)
Mediums:
- M26 Pershing (US, tier 8 - paper tank, with troll gun mantlet)
- Type 3 Chi-Nu (Japan, Tier 5 - paper tank with a nice, but slow reloading, gun)
- T54E1 (US, Tier 9 - paper tank for its tier, lowest penetration for tier 9 mediums... but it does work)
Heavies:
- KV-85 (USSR, tier 6 - got it for the troll 122mm cannon, but it seems my playstyle works best with the 100mm)
- KV-4 (USSR, tier 8 - stronk armor - the new steel wall magnet)
- IS-8 (USSR, tier 9 - stronk gun - paper armor for a heavy)
- IS-4 (USSR, tier 10 - Stronk armor, same gun as IS-8)
Tank Destroyers:
- T28 (US, tier 8 - Slow, slow, slow - I tend to arrive at the war when it's already closed for the night, but it does manage to do some neat damage)
Artillery:
- M41 HMC (US, Tier 5 - trusty side-kick - money maker ~24sec reload)
- Hummel (Germany, Tier 6 - similar to M41, but a tier higher, so makes less money - was tier 5 when I got it as a money maker ~30sec reload)
- SU-8 (USSR, Tier 6 - Same deal as the Hummel - got it as a tier 5 money maker ~30sec reload)
- Bishop (UK, Tier 5 - low range, needs to be in the middle of the map to reach everywhere, but what it can hit, it can do so with accuracy and has a nice fast reload, compared to other arties (~10sec reload)
- M40/M43 (US, tier 8 - lots of range, nice wide view without moving the tank, just like all US arties, nice splash radius ~43sec reload)
Notice that tier 8 arties take longer to reload than an AMX 50 100 takes to download his magazine... Never rely on high tier arties to bail you out of some dogfight with an auto-loader.

Remember when the soviet meds were unstoppable.....when all you had to do was hump the other guys tread and your low profile combined with their inability to depress the turret for an aggressive pen angle meant that they became your shield against their buddies while you leisurely tracked them for cover like a frog leaping pads all the way to the OBJ? I used to get pissed when people killed my cover...told them to stop fucking with the livestock.
Good times.
