So, I, uhh...   Fucker unloaded some autocannon into me while I was Wait, when the hell did I get a 48% WR in the Lorr? I hate that tank, I thought It would be way worse. Rorac fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jan 21, 2015 |

So if that's a mistranslation, what am I doing wrong for SPG 8 then? I've counter-batteried a few enemy arties that weren't visible with the Lefh105 but no luck with the mission.

Terrorist Fistbump posted:223 pen Just note that it has a really really flat trajectory and that the APCR shells love to hit tracks, bounce randomly, and because of the trajectory you should aim slightly more forward with your rounds. I used the AMX 105 for the light kill mission and something else...it is a strange beast that works best in tier 6 games where your pubs don't melt in 5 seconds. Edit: Zanziabar posted:So if that's a mistranslation, what am I doing wrong for SPG 8 then?

SPG 9 is hit a moving target, and SPG-10 is to take out an enemy arty. (fixed. Apologies) rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jan 21, 2015 |

Thanks for the tip.

The mission text for SPG 8 is for an enemy vehicle, not specifically a tank destroyer. Is there anything else I need to know about that mission?

Glancing at the wn8's and individual win rates and realizing that your top 3 heavies are all 41% and in a platoon together was the absolute worst way to start a match. Then of course you'd notice them dying right away, and that flank melting down, and oh god damnit I loving hate this stupid game. But now, with wn8 off? The match just starts, a flank melts fast, and you die. You end up in the same place, sure, but it's more peaceful. Serene, even.

But if you have XVM on you will know which flank will fold ahead of time, and might be able to do something about it. Even better, you know WHO TO BLAME. Encouraging these idiots to kill themselves, uninstall, remove their genitalia before they pass their substandard genes on, etc is a cheap and entertaining way to pass the time while between arty reloads, for example.

Help me i am addicted to teamkilling. I killed two dudes in my M12 earlier and didn't turn blue, then it took me FOUR more teamkills in different games, turning blue each time (one of them on the enemy cap!) before I finally got banned.....for one hour. Teamkilling is too fun.

You are beyond help at this point. Once you realize how easy and fun it is to team kill, there is no going back. The trick is to do so without getting yourself banned all the time. 1 hour may not be much, but it gets annoying when it happens all the time. Take the 30 second timer to find a likely candidate to troll. The regular pubbies you tend to troll will most likely do fine. Find something to insult them about (Should be easy) and as soon as you can, shoot them once, maybe twice. Often enough, they will start shooting back at you until they either kill you, or get banned for team damage. The feeling is even more rewarding.

Working on the heavy mission to deal 1k damage and then capture a base. Prokhorovka comes up, I go up on our side of the tracks, deal a lot of damage and move into the cap. All that is left on the enemy team is a single Super Pershing sitting up on the hill, bunch of people are taking shots, but most are bouncing or doing less then a 100. Timer counts hit, hits base captured so I take a pot shot him, he was facing me at a angle, shot somehow nails his side, knocks off 400 health and a teammate finishes him off. Turns out cap points don't count if you kill the enemy tank even after it says you've won. If I hadn't pressed a button, easy money, but no, had to be stupid.

Ugghh, the Achilles' upgrade tree. Sure, I had the top gun researached from before. But to mount it, I need the better turret, and to research the better turret I need to research a completely superfluous, strictly inferior gun that's proprietary to the tank. I just.... why?  EDIT: The tank's a helluva lot quicker than I remember from the test server, though. It's more maneuverable than the Hellcat now, at least.

Do arty tracers still exist? I've spent like five games trying to get a counter battery shot for this stupid loving SPG mission and have yet to see literally a single tracer, despite generally spending the entire game staring at the usual places pubtillery goes.

So I have been playing this on the Xbox 360 console and I know it's nerfed to poo poo and retarded but I was trying to talk a new roommate into installing this on his monster water-cooled box, and was wondering if there's a post or anything I should point him to with a list of mods etc he should get set up ahead of time, while he watches me play the lovely version on my poorbox.

In one game I spent a solid 4-5 minutes staring at a bush where arty got spotted later in the game (and of course I RNG-whiffed my shot to kill him) Really tempts me to install a tracer mod so I can get this stupid mission, I apparently just cannot see unmodified tracers at all.
