I thought you have to activate each mission individually. Can you really do them all at once?

There were 5 chains available this morning - I was able to activate the first mission in each chain, but wasn't able to activate the later missions. Of course there's a decent chance that even this was a glitch and you're only supposed to have one chain active at a time.

At least the SPG missions, with the T4 gate, can largely be done with a LeFUHH.

...if you *have* a LeFUHH.

And no, you can only have one MISSION active at a time. You might think that you're selecting a chain, but that makes *sense*, so of course that's not how it works. Seeing as people get more fatigued over time, it's going to be common that people do what the next mission entails, but find they've forgotten to *start* said mission.

I am enjoying how most of the missions include "survive the battle" as a caveat. I've always thought the game would be better if half of each team stayed on the baseline.

If you've fixed XVM, then the window that opens when you finish a mission has a button that when you click, opens the campaign bit and selects the next mission of that line for you. Of course, you STILL have to actually click the START button, but at that point it shouldn't be too hard to do.

Had a friendly tiger p shoot me not once but twice on cliff while i was fighting on the hill. He got upset because I was in his trisomy afflicted brain "blocking his shots". He was loving shooting at me from near spawn while I was on the goddamn hill. I recommended he have his caretaker uninstall the game for him and at the end of the match he had 250 dmg in a top tier heavy which means he actually did more damage to his own team than to the enemy.

That explains every thing. On the upside switched to West because east was like the worst I have ever seen. Back to back wins with an ace t-34 game to complete the 2nd Med challenge. Circle strafed a t1 Hvy to win it too.

Also, it's worse than that. They've said a Type 59 is *among* the vehicles that the Top 5 people will be able to select from as their reward. For pubbies, that implies that the clan campaign tanks (and possibly tanks that aren't even out yet but are on the server's database) might be up for grabs.

I don't like that they made it so that your individual missions require you to platoon, effectively making them cooperative missions.

I mean, I was doing fine and dandy by myself until one of my light missions required me to platoon with two artillery pieces. Now I gotta find two players who are remotely good at SPG'ing things and enjoy doing it.

Yea the mission poo poo is not well implemented. The fact that you have to do them one at a time is really awful or that you don't pick up secondaries once you passed and completed the primary while executing the same primary while having a different thing active is also beyond retarded. Like the t-34 game where I shot on the move, killed a tank one the move, destroyed an arty, damaged 3 different tank types, and killed 2 mediums only applied to the 2nd challenge...as opposed to unlocking the next 5. Nope ace game can't reward that poo poo have to play a million games for your lovely tank.

god drat is the arty missions easy as poo poo for me. I'm up to 5 so far. And I haven't even been trying. Most of those have been with the bat 155 58. However, the sharpshooter one had me decide to take the 261 for a spin. Yup, people being all aggressive and stupid for their personal missions and just hanging out in the open for me to blap.

Edit: err.. mission 4 actually. Btw, you can have one mission of each tank type up at once, so keep that in mind. There is a back link in the upper left of the mission window that'll take you to an overview list showing all your currently running missions and at what stage you are on for them.


Edit 2: wow, just looked through and saw nothing big till I hit spg 11. Hit two vehicles in a single shot. Welp, hope you all have a higher tier arty with a functional gun. That'll be t8+ german, t8+ american, t7-9 russian, t8+ british, and never french.

The first mission was the hardest arti mission. Took me 6 tries because it was three losses, and two games where the enemy died so loving fast I couldn't get 1k damage.

The worst goddamn players are on right now. These missions are the worst thing. I can't even blame them, gently caress your team finish your missions.

it is kind of fun to play the arty line as I have the full line up of t10s to play with. This allows me to tailor the arty type to the mission at hand. I'm pretty sure there are some people running to the forums right now to bitch about op arty after my last two games. For example, I one shot an is-8 in my conqgc. Poor chap didn't see it coming really. I also have a lefh which will come in handy for that mission to destroy a few tanks the same tier or higher than you. Though the conq and t92 should do well at it as well.

Yeah, I actually think they're pretty great, it's like the credit specials EU gets all the time that NA never had.

Except this isn't a special and the fun must end at some point. But just today I made a million credits off these mission alone!
