The next couple rounds of the Stand To are up. I made teams if anyone wants to do it.

Tier 7 on the 28th at 7:30PM EST:

Tier 8 on the 29th at 7:30 EST:

Password for both is the same as the goon channel.

Still have room and there's time to sign up if anyone wants to give the Stand To a go. Just me and PauI both days so far. Remember these are quick, fun affairs, so not too much sting when you get blown to hell.

Edit: 28th is 3v3, and 29th 5v5.

I just had one with 26 T8 heavies, 2 T9 heavies, and 2 T7 mediums, evenly distributed (also on EU). Perfectly enjoyable. :)

I've seen a match of nothing but T8 heavies and mediums. Both teams.

Also, the new scaling for WN8 is why I use my own config and don't change the colors. Green for me starts at something like 1200 or 1250 WN8 and 52% WR.

Yesterday I played the South Park Stick of Truth game from the Steam sale; I played it the whole day & didn't touch tanks. Highly recommended, both for the not having to play tanks part but also the SP game is fun in its own right. It's pretty amusing to beat the poo poo out of kids with alien dildos and throw turds in their mouths, and it's got plenty of profanity and even cartoon nudity & horse-loving (seriously....) It's a lite-RPG but feels very much like an episode of the show.

Cardiac posted:

As well, any suggestions on which tank I should get next?
I have these unlocked:

Indienpanzer
Tiger2 (all guns unlocked from the TigerP line)
Maus
Ferdie (which I have already ragesold once, but the Jagdzilla looks fun)
Wz-131 (got a good crew from my Type-62/64)
T-34-1 (got a 4 skill Type59 crew to put there)
Chi-Ri
Obj416 (finally out of the loving A-44)
AMX 50 120
Tier7 Lorraine SPG (which I have ragesold)
Conqeror
Crusader SP

In this order (roughly from tier and level of fun/playability):

Maus
AMX 50 120
Conqeror
Tiger2
Obj416
Indienpanzer
Ferdie
Wz-131
T-34-1

Bought the VK 3000D the other day and had a chance to run about 5 games in it today. It is a weirdly effective medium. I don't have the top engine yet, but everything else is unlocked and man that short 88 with the 5.6 reload time is hilariously effective. So far I've broken even on credits, but haven't quite had to carry super hard. 2.5k damage game first time out too. Nice mobility with a vague amount of armor to boot.

Why the Tiger2 so high? A slow tier8 tank that sees tier10 is not the funniest in my mind.
Will probably get the Conq then in preparation for the Chieftain switch.

Going to have to say it's just you.

You need to be hanging back in the Tiger, use your accuracy and DPS to kill stuff who are busy with your team mates, then go in when everything is damaged and use your big HP pool to clean up.

Stupid question, why does the bush in this video sort of disappear as he zooms in?

Is it because he has some graphic setting jacked up all the way? Because I have all of mine down low and what happens to the bush in this video does not.

One of the modpacks has a setting where you can tweak that. There is also one of the Tundra mods that only removes the leaves and bushes when you zoom into sniper mode which is p.cool.

It's not completely removing I guess? I'll have to check when I get home but I remember now that even the WOT Tweaker has a setting where you can dick around with the foliage as well.

It's just the normal foliage transparency that you can switch on in the game options since a few patches back I'd say.

I think something in the Jimbos reticle might do that. I've had bushes disappear in certain zoom settings beyond the standard amount.

I think the biggest complaint against the lowe is, as Hellsau said, its speed. I was once climbing a hill next a MAUS with my Lowe, and we were neck and neck. Both just as painfully slow. I would pay :10bux: to have a better engine on the Lowe. Its top speed is great.. Its the horsepower to weight ratio that is awful i think.

Other than that, the Lowe is a great tank. Back when I bought it, it was awesome. I am not sure if it is still worth its current price tho(its still 50$ right?)

You should have bought the Lowe when it was 7500 gold back in 2011 like I did... best 7500 gold I ever spent!

I am pretty sure I tested that reticle and may have noticed that. There is another though that does it as well but it is from a questionable RU site where I would only suggest you ever check from a computer you are sure has a very robust antivirus and you can run your browser in sandboxed mode.
