Do you have anything to do with Windhunds from WW2online?
Nice site by the way.
Great Question. No, we started out as the 116th in Company of Heroes Online but when we moved to WWIIOL we chose to be in there as The 16th Infanterie our of respect for a long established BGE squad.
So basically all the games we are deployed in right now (World of Tanks, Company of Heroes, Battlefield series ) we go by 116th Panzer except BGE.
Cheers,
Waffenator (Eberbach in BGE)
Happy Holidays from The 116th Panzer Division Windhund!
Hey mate, DrBoom here.
Just a quick question: do you enlist german tanks only?
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
No Sir,
As the game develops and our skin makers develop more talent in clan we will be producing "captured" skins for our members with Russian and US tanks.
Currently I have no German tanks. M4 Easy 8, M4, and working my way towards the T-54 on the russian tier but a long way to go...(still on the A20).
However, many of our members have Tigers, Tiger II, and 4 or 5 of them have the Maus.
Captured german t-54, ouch!
IZI MODO?! Ha-ha-ha!
Lol!
Here are a couple of replay videos of "captured tanks"

Btw, are you planning to play on US or EU cluster?
All the best to 116th for 2011!
Thanks for asking. Both, personally I will have two seperate accounts on each.
We have a mix of Americans and Europeans..many of us want the flexibility to switch so maybe 40% of us will have dual accounts.
I dont think it will be a problem to field two fully stocked companies consistantly as we are already able to get 15 to 20 people together, even over the holidays, and about 4 tankser are joining us a day.
The challenge for company play is getting everyone kitted properly and ensuring we are all on the same page regarding coordination and teamwork. However, by mid january we should be ready for consistent company battles just as we are now well versed in Platoon level work.
Well, you convinced me, application sent (do you work in marketing?
)
Har Har!
Thanks for joining up Sirca, hope you enjoy being a member!
On another note here are a couple of WoT gameplay videos from the 116th on our YouTube page.

I just join the beta or will when I get home from work...so i might just check you guys out....was planning on doing the german tanks anyhow.
Here is a way to get a beta key instantly and a free tank with it.
Our clan plays all tanks not just german ones but we are working on skinning the "captured" tanks with german markings.

Overall

Very nice req and outline for new members !
The clan had a blast during the 5x XP days. Most members now have at least a tier 6 with probably over half at tier 10.
As an example,
On my US account I have a tiger and DB plust all the tier 6 vk
On my EU account a T23, T29, and T-43
Would have been to the pershing but wanted to get a US account started to support our members there.
Lately we have been getting a large number of Aussie players which is great as they fit right in with the rest of the team.
yeah! so much XP is crazy! but in a good way crazy hehe
We now have a lot of members from Australia and New Zealand. Combining with our Euro and Americas members it seems we are a 24/7 clan now on teamspeak. Awesome!
The 116th has developed some basic training videos that may give prospective members an idea of what we are all about.
Here is the first video from Part I of Basic Training
