BIG HEADLINE posted:Oh gently caress me, you have to 'start' every single mission singularly. I just finished LT-1 'with honors' and you have to go *BACK* into the Personal Missions tab to select the next LT mission. Here's some bullshit: You have to click the right thing on the box that pops up, the blank box, or your mission is not complete. You can't complete it from the mission page afterwards - guess right when it pops up or gently caress off and do it again. E: Wait no, I mist have clicked the invisible "Improve result" button which allows you to try again.

Prav posted:Oh poo poo, they got the Alecto Yeah I need to finish getting into the AT2 before this goes live. Generally speaking it looks like they're nailing all Tier 4 and lower TDs. Looking at the database, there's a huge dropoff in view range between Tier 4 and Tier 5 TDs (Alecto is 390 while AT-2 is 310, SU-85b is 390 while SU-85 is 280, etc). Looks like they're correcting those to be more in line.

since they're making light tanks the designated spotters now (as if 90% of people in light tanks give a poo poo about spotting but whatever), how about nerfing some of those light tanks' guns older tanks getting power creeped by newer models of the same type is one thing but this is retarded

My dumb mission was track tank and do damage to it. Secondary objective was destroy a tracked tank. Two enemy tanks left, a waffle and arty. Enemy waffle is looking the other way, I zoom up from behind in my batchat. I have time. I aim in, shoot him in the track, he's tracked, aim for gunshield and HOLY poo poo HUGE TANK as the Patton M46 on my own team charges in front of me to block my shot and shoot and kill the waffle. THANKS ASSHAT. And no, there's no way he didn't know exactly what he did, because there was plenty room for him to round the corner and shoot the waffle without getting in my way. So shot him in the rear end. He caught fire. He didn't have an extinguisher. He started slowly turning his turret towards me - slowly cause his crew was burning - and stopped his tank. To aim better or something. And then the enemy arty blapped him and he exploded. He didn't say anything in chat, but I got this after battle: He closed convo immediately after that, and put me on ignore  Edit: Jack_tripper posted:since they're making light tanks the designated spotters now (as if 90% of people in light tanks give a poo poo about spotting but whatever), how about nerfing some of those light tanks' guns Remember that light tanks get MM one tier up. So putting a tier 8 light's gun and a tier 8 medium's gun next to each other doesn't really work. Valle fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jan 15, 2015 |

Speaking of bad tanks, I really love my KV-5. It is the perfect tank for pubstomping and for thrashing statpadding IS-6 drivers in. Pubbies are so focused on the frontal weak spot that they don't know how to deal with someone that knows how to hide it. I have lost track on how many Ace Tankers I have gotten in it, but here is one more (including Top Gun, Steel Wall, Defender in a Tier9 game. Bonus feature is ramming a T30 with tunnel vision). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaAKZ6YnKs4

Trying to play right now is like taking to my stats with a loving hammer. Teams are all-in one side every match, blocking me, driving into my shots, dying without doing 2+ shots of damage, and now I'm also playing like a loving retard because it's my only chance at getting the stupid missions done.

the missions would be less retarded if you could pick and choose the order you do them in, but as is I'm seeing waves of people doing the same thing each match. It's really obvious when light tanks are going for the same objective because a lot of the early ones are doable by suicide.

Trip report: This E25 tried to use speed to run the clock out and result in a draw. Lucky for us I was not about to let him ruin my 4 kill x2 for the day. Fucker. It drove off the same cliff and tracked itself and I was hot on heels.

Holy poo poo this battle! I had to take a break after the match to breathe. This has to be one of the best carries I have pulled off against all odds. A well deserved Ace Tanker, 15,931 WIN8. I LOVE THE M46 PATTON! Watch that game of cat and mouse against an E-75 at the end.

These missions are going to make you all frustrated as hell if you actively try to do them. I'm just going to activate them all and let them slowly tick away as I play normally. I won't see the tanks anytime soon and I may never finish, but god drat this game does not need yet another source of frustration.

 ATTNThe broken windows when you finish a mission is caused by XVM. If you go to your favourite modpack of choice and get the latest XVM it'll be fixed. Kinda. Edit: Holy gently caress, WG are such trolls:

Chillyrabbit posted:Using dynamic crosshairs stabilizes your gunsight so if you hit a bump it doesn't rock up and down. Otherwise I find using a lower senstivity makes you more accurate to drag more mouse to move the crosshair for finetuning. You can also set sensitivity separately for arcade and sniper mode. I turned mine way down for sniper and keep it pretty high for arcade.

Comet isn't as gofast as the Cromwell but is a solid tank in its own right. Also earlier I solo'd a pair of T-54s at point-blank in my JT. Shameful.

The Comet loses some speed and zestiness, gains a vertstab and a turret with some actual gun depression and a mantlet that'll give you more lucky bounces than you'd think. The gun is the same upgrade as from the Churchill I to the Churchill VII, 3pen and 5dmg per shot. Terrorist Fistbump posted:One of my current missions is to set a tank on fire. Yeah, brb, let me just go and do that. Autoloader or autocannon, aim for fueltanks. My BatChat fixed that poo poo.
