You mean the MT mission for tracking someone and doing damage? Because if so, I just finished that one with my 121 - with honors. :smug:

These missions have brought out the worst of the worst but I have managed to win more than lose today and I made 1mil+ plus credits so I can't complain too much. The trick is to make sure the bads on the enemy team out-idiot yours.

I've been focusing on the artillery tree, and the bads are in such a rush for their missions that they'll hang themselves out in the open being free fodder. It has been allowing me to really carry the teams to victory.

Also, I don't know what happened, but chat is oddly lacking. Like, no one is really saying anything, not even the usual clan recruitment spams.

This is an understatement. I actually want to quit tanks after today and wait for AW, usually its just RQ for the day from poo poo rng but holy poo poo its the worst i have even seen it.

I'm at the TD mission where you need to do critical damage and not have critical damage yourself at the end of the battle, and so far between my E3, E4 and Foch I've done about 12k damage without scoring a critical hit, not including the damage in games where I didn't meet the other half of the criteria. This includes my E4 slam dunking a really bad W-100 for three shots into the gun shield, nada.

So in other words, you need to do a 0 damage shot :v:

I played 2 battles and did 2 missions with a T71 and in the 2nd one a Tiger I hid at the back of Siegfried line near J1 after landing 1 or 2 shots (he did like 350ish damage) so I'm going to guess there's a heavy mission to land a shot and not get shot right?

Also earlier I solo'd a pair of T-54s at point-blank in my JT. Shameful.

Speaking of TDs I am not afraid to face, how is the JT?
I have the Ferdie, rage-sold it and I am sort of thinking of going back to the line to get the Jagdzilla.

Also, how loving bad were they to lose against a JT at point-blank range.
If I see a JT in my T-54 I just go hull-down, load HEAT and bye bye JT. At close range it is not even a challenge.

How the gently caress do you earn commendations and why is this mission thing as obtuse and terrible as possible?

:wargaming:

They say there's no plan to sell 'tokens' for this, but I've a feeling that'll change once the first people start unlocking the tanks the hard way. Five bucks apiece or $22.50 for five sounds about right, with no option to use bought tickets on the Object 260. That'd make each tank cost $90-100. The T55A might theoretically be worth that, but I can't imagine anyone spending that for a StuG IV and T28 Concept.

I keep saying, gw-100 is a nice middle ground of functionality for newer artillery players. Still has a gently caress off gun, just not to the hilarious levels of the t92 and conqgc. Gotta love the armor though. The 13 90 that rushed me ran out his clip with two missed shots, two connected shots and a bounce. Then he drove by hoping he could get away before I reloaded for another shot. I had already shot gunned 3/4th of his health already.

Also, I have so far completed every arty mission with honors :smug:

HT11 - deal at least 1000 damage while (at battle’s end) having no internal modules damaged or destroyed and no crew dead (destroy two enemy vehicles)

That's the closest so no, I think you just had a garden variety shitler

I could never seem to complete that mission, no matter how often I strafed enemy tanks in my Pz III/IV. Then I cancelled the mission, and it automatically succeded. :psyduck:

It looks like lots of what were my favorite lower-tier tanks got nerfed pretty hard. The old KV1s got split into two tanks, and the new tier5 KV1s is even more hilariously OP (122mm at Tier 5 lol) but the KV-85 at tier 6 seems sluggish and the gun seems a lot worse than I remember. Maybe I'll replace the derp with the new 100mm they added and see if that helps. The Hellcat nerfs made me a sad panda, it's slow paper-mache now instead of fast paper-mache and you can't snap shot with it anymore. Working on getting a Jumbo Sherman so I'll have something fun to play again at that tier.

I've been watching Sela's streams a lot this week and it just looks like his aiming is a lot smoother than mine - he drops into sniper, points his mouse where he wants the shot to go, and boom. For me, I go into sniper and the reticle bounces all over the place. It takes me a second just to get it stable and even small mouse movements jerk the reticle around. Maybe my mouse sensitivity is too high, who knows. What you say about not being so picky about targeting is probably true, though, I should just let it fly especially if I'm >100m away from my victim.

The new KV-1S has a 122, but it's the 122 howitzer like the KV-1 has always had. Still, it's a good tank. The KV-85 has worse frontal armor with a more reliable gun (the 100), but the huge change is the lack of gun depression.

Don't snapshot unless you're close, you still want to aim when appropriate. I do know what you mean about smooth aiming, I myself am very...frantic, perhaps, but I make do. Partly this is because I habitually lift the mouse & re-center it, even though I'm not running out of space (I have a huge mousepad.) It may have something to do with the sensitivity like you said.

Played a bunch of WoT Blitz yesterday. It owns and if the controls weren't that awkward, I'd give up regular WoT. The matches are shorter, there is much more potential to carry, and it's generally less frustrating. Also, nobody uses the chat.

Pubbies are still dumb as gently caress and still have to be reminded to hold their phone sideways each battle.

The trick for the arty missions is to platoon LeFH, I forgot how hilarious that tank is. "oh look there's a KV!" "I tracked him" *kv vanishes* 3 shots into nothingness from each arty later and there's a wreck. Shame we only had 2, hope we can get a third this weekend.

JT is loving awful. Literally the only good point about the vehicle is its gun; in every other respect it is garbage. No (real) armour, no mobility, no camo, no anything. I hate it.

Now the gun, the gun I love. For the purposes of argument, when the JT is already lit, stationary, and not being shot at, it becomes "the gun".

JPE is loving hilarious though, one of my favourite things to play on test.
