Yeah climbing up isn't so easy, your gonna have to learn new things along the way. Lower tiers is light tanks, but heavy tanks is a whole new ball game. You have armor, and most times a good gun but your gonna be sloooowwwww. Mediums are a good middle ground but using them well can be tricky. For me tank destroyers is where it's at, i've learned my craft well and can deal damage. Same for artillery, but since they heavily nerfed it so many times, it's not what it used to be.
For me the lower tiers were always the worst, everyone dies so fast and few know what they are doing. Things level out at tier 7-8 where I'm most comfortable. I can hold my own in tier 9, even with my tier 9's. But I hate tier 10 games. It's like going back to low tier games. Everyone dies, no one know what they're doing. Even more so if a couple of those German steel bricks get together or that E-100 waffle. I do okay, but my T-62A can only do so much.
Anyways some progress:
Using spare Tamiya KT wheels. I only used one of the two types supplied, meaning I had to cut that part with the bolts to size.
Looked around some KT walkarounds and added these welds.
Engine deck is done. I'll be adding some "missing" things from the render. For one I'll be putting a radio antenna (why do some have them and some not), and maybe a MG42 on the copula (see previous question), and debating a figure.
Welds on the rear. Ordered some Flamenvernichters from TMD, and just need to fill in the openings for the jack. I'll add the other little bits after I paint.
Also ordered some King Tiger Late tracks, oddly enough I found them a few bucks cheaper from a seller in the UK.
