I love the feeling when you're busy holding up your flank, things are going okay, and then you can see the pubbies start deliberately throwing the game.  http://www.vbaddict.net/battlereport/squiddite-na-9ae78eceb9dd6f684dd3cf520611adad/westfield-germany-e-100-36807523254557838

Jesus, the expected damage for the E 100 is only 1,959? I'm loving worthless at that tank and yet even I can manage more than that. How are pubbies so bad as to only do 3 shots of damage per game in a tank with so much armour and so many hitpoints?

rossmum posted:Jesus, the expected damage for the E 100 is only 1,959? They shoot mostly AP or HE, because shooting HEAT is unaffordable without running one of the high credit generating premiums (T34/Lowe/122-44) on a 1 for 1 basis, probably 3 for 1 given how bad most people are at everything. I lose about 40-60k credits every E-100 win, which is why I never drive it anymore.

Probably people shooting AP. 230 pen at tier 10 is pretty sorry so if you want to put out the huge damage that the E 100 is capable of you have to pony up and shoot gold. It's a great tank that's very forgiving but costs a lot of credits to play properly.

xthetenth posted:I think it was because it went from bland but playable where every plane could theoretically contribute to boom and zoom boogaloo hope you picked a german heavy fighter otherwise you literally won't be able to fight back as the invincible sky gods pick you off. When you add a bunch of mechanics to give a set of planes a big bonus to being good at bnz and then make it so that firing while climbing does about 1 DPS, you just broke your game. They actually fixed that after a few months and the game became this really fun arcade flight game where Boom and zoomers got obvious advantages at climbing and diving but if you got entangled with an agile fighter you'd be hosed, meaning the game was all about skill. Then they patched the game so that the cannon bullets would't fly torwards the aim but considerably above or bellow (you'd have to experiment to see where they went!). They then made the matchmaker bug the gently caress out even if the game had a decent number of people playing and for some reason the game became much more resource intensive (after the "HQ" and "lower res" split i think) and i stopped playing afterwards because i assumed Wargaming was intentionally trying to draw people away from the game. It's a shame, i thought it had a much smoother game philosophy than Tanks.

You make it sound like I don't want to use the "gently caress You" gun on it, I hardly use gold with the stock gun and yet have a fun time with it.

Is there any Data on the T-34-88 that is available on the Xbox version? Seems like it may be exclusive, and having a medium with the 88 at T-6 sounds awesome

Mr.48 posted:Edit: So much this, the Blitz KV-1 is a murder machine. Angle your armor and you are basically immortal. I've actually been using the 57 on it, which really messes with people expecting the slow 85mm. And there's really no downside, given the low population of higher tiers.

I'm not sure how to interpret the stat bars on the right but if it's at all like the PC version then it's 130 pen with 220 damage vs. the 144 pen 180 damage D5T-85BM which that tank normally gets. Roughly the same soft stats and rate of fire. edited, thanks Ensign rockopete fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Jan 3, 2015 |

Even if the turret blows off after 3 shots it would still be an improvement.

It's a great tank that's very forgiving but costs a lot of credits to play properly. Kinda like the T-54 then. I have yet to have a game where I go with profit since that HEAT shell is just so awesome. Also, starting to play the AMX 13 90 during Christmas was probably not my best idea. 1/10 sofar  Also, does anyone actually play the AMX 13 90 outside of strongholds? The AMX 50 100 is sofar much better at tier10 compared to the AMX 13 90. I guess the play style is passive scout, and then flank/mop up when the lines start to open up.

If you can play the E100 properly you can shoot gold all the time and still make a profit, or break even if you bounce or miss a couple of shots.

There should be a comedy variant of the E-100 that just has dual 128's. It would be loving hilarious to play.

Yuri Pasholok posted a notebook scribble from one of his colleagues about something called a T-34-88 delivered to Leningrad for refurbishment after the war, but that's about it. And yeah, I'd buy this thing over the T-34-85M any second.

I'd actually like to see a tier 6 or tier 5 historical Tiger. Maybe make it the Ausf. H1 variant. Even a non wehraboo can see the appeal of driving around bouncing shells off your big stupid box tank.

A modelswapped VK36 would probably sell. And since WG's policy on standard-tanks-as-premiums has shifted from "no" to "$49,98" we'll probably see it eventually.

Re: blitz. Heavy tanks in general are op as gently caress. Its the nature of the app. Literally none of the maps are in any way friendly to tds. No one can drive meds or lights with any efficacy. I am confused though about things being the same on paper. Tanks have a lot more hitpoints. That's not really a issue though because they die a lot faster

Zanziabar posted:First match in the chaffee. What a hilarious little tank. If the T37 & Bulldog are like this then I should thoroughly enjoy them. The tier five Chaffee right now? It's better than the old Chaffee was. Trading some pen and HP for a massive mobility increase is totally worth it. The T37 is laughably better than the old Chaffee. It is incredible and it turns tier six Strongholds into insane T37 pub stomps. The M41 is probably 50 to 100 HP short of being better than the tier eight lights. It is fabulous. Note - all three of these tanks get better matchmaking than the old Chaffee. The old Chaffee was very good - and all three of these are better with softer matchmaking? Yes please. Hopefully Wargaming don't chicken out and nerf them - if all the other lights were buffed to this level the game would be better for it.

How the gently caress do you play campnovika anymore? The old rule was hill or bust. But it seems like anymore on south, it is drown or bust because half your loving team will suicide themselves to kill the lone medium that ran to k3. Meanwhile, the hill isn't very conducive to any kind of fighting either making it pointless. The best place I have found is the magic bushes by the waterway and just snipe it up. That would be grand, but absolutely the worst place to be in a russian heavy tank.

Attempt to dissuade your pubbies from going into the buildings because they'll just get spotted from K3. Instead, suggest they pull back eastward and wait for the enemy to try to cap, and shoot them in the open. Of course every time I'm in a position to go to K3, their tanks are literally allowed to broadside my spawn, sitting straight in the field, while shooting me in the butt. My teammates will hide from those tanks, because spotted enemy tanks might shoot back!
