You can't help but be a poo poo heel can you. 480 healing to a Polar Bear makes a huge difference, holding W and left clicking on enemies in it gets you dead because it turns like a pig and the map is nothing but sharp corners. Have you ever loving played it? Because you sound like you haven't.

Polar Bear is EZ

I'm terrible at this game and it's still easy. Zoom out, look where they're coming from, and position yourself to be a warm and loving welcome committee as soon as they breach the wall.

I haven't tried it, but can the pbear heal worth a drat? Does it heal for like 1k a shot? Cause if it does just load up some big fat healing shells and patch people for 20% per shot.

I literally just put myself up a Mammoth's rear end every game and shoot over its tracks. Keep in mind that you don't need to connect WELL, you just have to connect and overmatch and 1k pen will hurt people even if you shoot them at awful angles. I don't think I've ever had a shot hit and not pen. Connecting four shots is super easy. Use your pubbie armor. Who cares if they go stupid ways, pick a mammoth and follow them until the game is over. Pbear sucks at soloing, it's a fire support vehicle, which should be obvious.

Heals for 200 something a shot, not worth it compared to doing 1k damage a shot in the other direction. This is why Mammoths should be healing Polar Bears for the first 15s or so after a breach.

I want my team mates to spend 15 seconds healing right at the start so it becomes easy for everyone to roll over and get their damage targets, but things like team work and helping are about as foreign to you as social skills, and having any form of interaction with another person that doesn't involve verbal abuse and a wildly misplaced sense of your own importance and accuracy.

Nice work being selfish. You want your teammates to not get their damage and instead spend any winnings they'd make even if they get their mission done healing you just so you can fail your way to your damage.

Play the Mammoth. Stop playing the TD if you can't reach the minimum competence required. Both the TD and Mammoth will get their damage done for the mission in a 1v1 scenario with each other, the Mammoth is just more likely to deal 2500 if they blunder into a trap.

How is this new German light tank line, with the Leopard and the RU-251? Is it a decent choice for shooty light tanks?

The RU-251 is pretty awesome. Speedy, maneuverable, with a gun that's a step up from the Pershing's 90mm. No armor whatsoever, and everyone shoots light tanks, but fun nonetheless. The Awfulpanther is pretty loving awful, in being a Panther without armor using the Konisch, and having a huge engine. You get around, but you stick out like a sore thumb, and driving it you realize that the real curse is that pubbies will ALWAYS shoot the light tank because ez kills mang. The Leopards beyond the RU are papertanks as well, and trade a bit of the speed of the RU for bigger guns.

You haven't got a clue, as per usual, 1v1 never happens, and if you wander off to look for one you end up on the wrong side of a 5v1. You keep living your fanciful dream scenario though, because it sure is a bad idea for the less damaging tanks to use a few credits on a heal shell to keep the glass cannons alive for a couple salvos, gently caress, what a total waste of credits.

Your scenario where Mammoths heal and Pbears shoot is stupid, in a team that coordinated the Pbears are going to focus fire and triple tap people before they can be healed. Hope that helps.

Follow your pubbies, shoot tanks, stop whining. Getting off four shots in a fight is super easy, you can shoot over a Mammoth's treads and barely expose your tank at all.

Shooting the enemy instead of healing teammates is a far more efficient use of time. You can't heal someone as quickly as they are damaged, and if you heal them, you do nothing to diminish the other team's ability to deal damage. So why would you waste time healing? Just kill the enemies more quickly instead.

I've gotten spotting damage credit for having spotted tanks that then disappeared and got 1-shot by arty 2 seconds later. Apparently there is a short period of time after they vanish where you still share exp with the spotter. So if you want to make this work you're gonna have to wait a little longer and hope they don't move.

Of course WG might have just changed all of this in some patch.

If you play the Arctic Fox. You get 1875 xp and 10750 credits on a loss where you do enough healing on your team mates, and 2250 xp and 13000 credits if you win. I think the condition is 1000 or 1500 hp, you seem to get nothing for healing more. This is documented nowhere as far as I can see.

Please do not shoot into the 4 line killzone in Winter mode. Go to the 3 line and shoot there so that there is a wall covering you when you push through.

If you are just sitting in the four line killzone when the enemy team shoots through, no wonder you're dying before getting damage done. Push through 3 line and hold left click on an enemy tank.

On a related note, this is also why dedicated healing Clerics in Dungeons and Dragons suck. Why heal people after they take damage when you can just buff yourself and go bash its skull in before it can hurt your people at all?

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
Let me rephrase in a way that isn't belligerent and awful.

The winter mode is fun. The missions are laughably easy. If you put in effort you will get your damage in 100% of the time. If you put no effort in you will get your damage in 99% of the time for the heavy, 95% of the time with the TD, and 90% of the time with the light. If you are insane and want to win, maybe you'll get your damage in less often, but you should not be a try hard in the fun times mode.

Healing teammates while they are taking fire is worthless unless you positioned yourself poorly and just cannot get shots into enemies in a reasonable amount of time. If you clear a flank, sure, heal teammates to have an extra buffer when you meet the other half.

If you are sitting where more than two enemies can shoot you, and you cannot reasonably expect to kill one or both of them in under ten seconds, move. Don't sit there and hope your teammates will spend their earnings healing someone who clearly does not want to stay alive or assist their team.

Most importantly you aren't forced to play the TD! It is slow and bulky and requires more damage for the mission while having half the HP of the heavy. If you play the Mammoth and position your tank such that only one enemy can hit you, you will 100% of the time get your damage done. If you are feeling randy you can goad their shots, pull back so they fly past, pull out and clip, and then get out again once the next volley comes at you. Easy mission completion. If you need to train that crew in the TD, you can't really peek and poke, but positioning outside of the major killing lanes will make it vastly more likely that you get free shots or free 1v1 opportunities. A 1v1 Mammoth vs. Polar Bear gives both tanks the damage needed.

Now please, in the future, do not poo poo talk your teammates for being useful when you are vocally demonstrating that you cannot perform better than the bottom twenty percent of this awful player base. If you cannot deal the damage, the fault is not on your teammates, because the mission requirements are extremely lenient. It is entirely up to you if you want to perform at the bare minimum of competence or not. If not, fine, stay bad. Just keep it to yourself.
