It's only an hour off for killing teammates. Load up arti or a high alpha tank and go to town.

Be sure to insult whoever you team kill. Bonus points if you get their platoonmates banned.

It has always been funny when I've seen a team full of amazing players just throw the game because they think they are too awesome. Usually it's from being hyper aggressive and having the mediums slam into a heavy/TE gunline.

Usually what I see is the team getting rolled because they are playing to how things should go normally with a mix of terrible players per side. The enemy team being just full of terribles though do inane things that collectively get the amazing team killed because it was unexpected. Also, if you have a team of amazing players, someone has to sacrifice themselves for spotting since you don't have the idiots to do it willingly for you in a normal team make up.

Also, this happened the other day, can you identify the problem?

Its actually surprising how cheaply you can get good booze if you know where to look. A 750 of Teachers is like $20 and is way better than most whisky that costs five times as much. The purist single-malt snobs will scoff because its a blend, but the taste is amazing.

Same with wine... I spent the holidays at my aunts place in Trier and the local Mosel rieslings you can get for 10 euros will blow your loving mind.

I did it, guys. I peeked behind the pubbie curtain and I am not sure I will ever be the same.

Tier 8 game in my IS-2. My team full of retards sends 1 tank to the west side of Erlenberg, so I hold back and try to cover him as best I can. I get a few shots off and get run over by 4 or 5 tier 8s. Meanwhile our 43% Super Pershing is running his dickhole about how bad I am for dying early. He goes from the mid map and backs literally to the K line and dies last. And of course, he did zero damage. So I had to compliment him on his skills. Below is our full chat. I am still in awe.

Managed to force a draw against a team with 3 G players and a really good FOXEY player on Sand River thanks to their team crumbling around them. Bet there was some really good chat going on that side, because if they didn't have a Rhoomba sitting in a corner, they should have won.

A team of greens is usually reliable, a team of unicums is usually a disaster waiting to happen (exacerbated by lack of platoons or the appearance of CHAI and other shitlords). I will take the greens every time.

1) My clan means nothing
2) that tank was part of the point
3) It was clipped from a larger screenshot that had no bearing
4) List is sorted by damage

Now combine points 4 and 2 to get the reference

Also, good idea big headline:

Yeah, I used free experience. Thing is, I have enough premium vehicles that it freely generates that much in a few weeks if I bang on them for cash. And I mean freely as in, I don't use gold to convert to that. Of which, I'll need to play them a bunch as I'm barely at 1mil now and have yet to buy the challenger that I've also unlocked.

2x mission xp like this is great, it means even in losses you still get 2x xp if you damage something.

I am currently sitting on nearly 400k free exp. I got a bunch from when they hosed around with the Russian T-28 line and it kinda just snowballed from there. I'm probably going to use it to get the FV4202 before it becomes a premium.

Speaking of surprise wins today, I played a game on swamp today with a solidly green team. The enemy had a G platoon and players from BADGER, CHAI, FOXEY and other blues, we had a 28% chance. BADGER guys suicide over the bridge within 2 minutes and the CHAI/FOXEY players gets waffle clipped in another and everyone else eventually yolos one by one over the next 10. The G platoon expectedly gave a good accounting of themselves but their teammates were determined to drag them kicking and screaming to a loss. Pretty ridiculous considering it was one of those games that opens with everyone on my team "GGing" in all chat.

Well it's a good idea to focus on one mission at a time unless you know you'll complete them all anyway. Otherwise you risk running out of time with all the missions partially completed, which is worthless.

Ok, I know the challenger is a poo poo tank anyway. This was already covered in the achilles which didn't have a barn turret. What is the story on the challenger turret upgrade? I mean, what is the soft stat changes not being shown. 10m more view range and 2 more degrees of rotational speed isn't all that much of an improvement. But in britian's own hilarious ways, the armor scheme rotates to something that would make the french proud. 101mm front armor + 40mm rear armor on the stock turret altered to 50mm front + 200mm rear. What.

Edit: also, I just had a 4400 damage game in my newly minted 263, but then the server shat itself right at the end of the match, so I have no idea the results. Highlights include me face tanking a object 268 from about 100m away taking no damage the entire time. Same goes for a few other tanks completely stemming the near fall that was happening. This tank is absolutely amazing. :argh:
