There really isn't any reason to put any thought into or get mad about the winter mode guys. Just play the mammoth to guarantee the 2500 dmg and train up some American heavy crews quickly. The other 2 tanks aren't really worth it and winning means nothing :/

Have you ever loving played it? Because you sound like you haven't. Arctic Foxes are the healers bro. Mammoths are there to tank damage and shoot enemies, at best they're a last-ditch "oh poo poo keep this guy up until a Fox gets here" measure.

The Fochs are nerfed into oblivion and the S35 CA will be hosed in the next patch with the view range nerf. Oh, well, I guess I'll put the Polar Bear crew into a Lorraine 40t or AMX 50 120.

 Proud of this victory if only because I barely know the map and the entire match came down to me and the AMX M4 45. We were both under 200hp and the only reason I won is because the AMX played it safe. He could have easily flanked me if he was more bold, but he tried to go hull down. I hit him when he peeked around a corner.

Yeah the line after the S35 CA is either complete poo poo or barely tolerable. Guess I'll get Sixth Sense on the Polar Bear anyway since I never did get my second 50100 crew trained up, but eesh that's gonna be sad day when the line has the adorablemobile at tier 3, the weird rear end autocannon at tier 2, and a string from tier 4 to 10 or horrendous poo poo or mediocre boats. Worst line when the S35 gets nerfed?

The French TD's only actual great tank is the S35 CA. It's a sad loving day when a line is worse than the French artillery line. They...probably need to rethink the French line's bloom values to make them not so intolerable. Both lines have premiums that have insanely high peaks. The FCM on Province shuts the game down, where the leFH will swing any game that lasts more than five minutes. Good times.

subhelios posted:I know the 50 100 and batchat and lights are good don't interrupt me. Is the AMX 13 90 actually good outside tier 8 strongholds? So far it seems aggressively mediocre compared to the AMX 50 100, where the 1390 have less pen, worse MM, but better camo. It is not helped by being matched with medium tanks that can do the same role. Or maybe I am just bitter about my current 25% win rate in it after 20 games or so.

Nidhg00670000 posted:Anyone else able to confirm this, it sounds wooonderful. Not that I would ever play arty, I'm asking for a friend. Yes this does work, I've been using this trying to get more xp out of the games for a while. It is a bad thing to do kinda but the mission is easier if you do it. I finally got that SPG-15 done last night and got my Stug, all I needed was a game where I did 3.8k damage, next one below me was at 1.4k damage - I had 60xp more than the next 4th highest xp... Funny thing, three games later I had one of those awesome arty games where every shot hits something even if you didn't know it was there, ended up being #1 damage and xp. Yes gently caress this game. For those who don't know, if you complete the last mission of 4 out of 5 lines with the secondary met you get enough tokens for the Stug. Once you got the Stug you can start the next set of missions with the 4 lines you finished.

This is a "feature": Darkrenown posted:Ahaha, wow. So on the RU server Winter mode came with "hidden missions" (because the problem with missions is that you can see what you need to do ingame and work towards it, right?). Long story short they were totally hosed up and players have been earning hundreds of thousands of XP, 3-4k per game with games lasting ~ 5 mins and a crew XP multiplier on top. Don't worry though, these terrible bugs will be fixed before it goes live on the EU or NA servers.

maev posted:can I do all the LT missions in the Luchs. This is my only question Technically yes. However, some of the missions have requirements like "Spot enemy vehicles and enable your allies to cause at least 2,000 HP of damage to the vehicles spotted by you." The higher tier the light you're in, the more potential damage.

Here, watch this: http://wotreplays.com/site/1572330#fiery_salient-cippalippus-amx_13_90 In this replay nothing out of ordinary happens, it's just a normal game with an AMX 13 90. Keep this in mind: 1) I only shoot gold with it, but standard ammo would've had the same penetrations. I use APCR for the shell speed, the added penetration is nice but not game breaking. 2) Your first duty is to take out the enemy scouts and in general make them feel hunted. 3) You only shoot when you can, leaving the actual shooting to the others. 4) Don't take damage if it's not necessary. It's never necessary, by the way. 5) See the friendly bulldog? That's an excellent place to go, too, but makes for a more static game. Have fun.

While we're posting replays, does anyone have some decent 59-16 games to point out? WZ replays work too I guess if they apply to the 59-16 as well, I wouldn't know as I'm still grinding the line. (e: that security hole in the replay system was fixed, right?) Also, while it's on my mind, WoT Blitz definitely has a +/-2 tier matchmaking spread, at least for Tier IV and beyond. I think someone said +/-1 upthread. rockopete fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jan 29, 2015 |

I just uploaded a replay recently: Mesadoram posted:So it's been awhile since I've play the 13 90. So I decided to blow a gently caress load of credits, this was the result: I load only gold and use coffee because I am a try hard. You can easily play it with out gold, but you need to be much more careful where you shoot. It is a deadly tank when left alone, it's tiny size and speed allows it to be a real pain in the dick.
