Atal Vataman posted:also, i skimmed through ftrs writeup of the CDC, and it doesnt sound like what ive heard about the tank at all. it just doesnt fit with the gameplay videos ive seen of the at all. apparently its actually slow or something according to ftr. "30 kmh uphill is slow, it turns super slow, 57 kmh with super acceleration is slow" wtf. it looks like a really good leo pt on t8 damnit. I'm actually wondering is SS is really playing the same game as the rest of us. Also his "teardown" of WoWS was hilariously wrong.

Had a shitter E100 try to teamkill me for telling him to not whine about MM (apparently MM can now screw over tier 10 tanks?? It Is A Mystery.), after three failed attempts to pen my M103 my team blew him up. We lost horribly, but I got to spend the rest of the game trolling him. Sometimes pubbies are good people  If you see GrumpyOldTanker in game and feel like trolling him, ask him about "his list" and whether you can be on it too. E: How much better is the third gun on the M103 than the second gun? I want to know if this tank will ever stop feeling like I'm just hitting myself in the crotch with a baseball bat every time I play it. I don't think I've ever had an actually fun game in it.

Atal Vataman posted:unless the gun handling is terrible or something, it sounds like something i'd love. The gun handling is fairly mediocre at 0,2/0,16. It's a pretty painful combo with the super-fragile turret since you'll miss a bit too often if you just do a split-second peek, Patton-style. It sure does move fast though.

can I just tell you guys how bizarre this thread has been for the last 20 pages or so? I started reading it at 3am as I was going to bed and now at 4:45 I feel like I just watched Enter The Void. 8 bit is the only thing I can play in this loving game anymore. Everything else is just too frustrating. It would be perfect with maybe 3~5 maps. Actually I'm quite pleased to have the opportunity to train up an LTTB crew, because I've only got one Soviet LT crew and I don't want to swap them out of my BT-2. Well I guess I'm not going to bed after all. Time to get up and make bacon and coffee, and get ready for another wonderful day at my wonderful job.

Wade Wilson posted:Are the repair rounds worth loving around with for the silver cost in the goofy block tank mode? Heal 1k HP (~5 shots) and you get an extra 250/500 exp for a loss/win in the Arctic Fox. I'm not sure if it works in the other tanks. And if you want to go maximum tryhard I'm sure there's all kinds of tactics you could cook up, but, well, why bother? Making red tanks explode is more fun than making green tanks not-explode.

maev posted:I love how an arcadey game like World of Tanks brings out such visceral political / historical divides and anger issues between players. Where 85% German tanks played is a nostalgic fascist statement and the belief that the T-34-85 was a superior operational tank to the Tiger is unfettered communist sympathy and Stalin apologia. You don't need to go as far as that, I was called a Trotskist on the WoT forums because I said that Hitler was bad.

Hellsau posted:East cannot get shot from mid. Mid can murder west without being spotted. The 1 line does not actually contribute anything. It's the mid that both spots and shoots relevant targets. East is a completely static unflankable unpushable boring coinflippy face to face one lane slugfest, I can't see it as anything but Redshire's version of Abbey's east lane or the beach on South Coast. I've never had the spotting or getting shot problems on 1 line. It's a trench, there's a shitload of huge bushes, and there are plenty of big rocks in good positions, so mid's just as exposed to 1 when played right. You're not supposed to push 1 line without mid doing the same thing (or vice versa). One spots, the other shoots, and they mutually support each other. Eventually, 1 gets in position to shoot the second big dip in the middle, and finally the back side of the hill (from both spawns). Mid crew at that point can either spot or push in when the enemy mid is distracted, or flex east/south if somehow that flank didn't get sniped to poo poo from hill in the north/the buildings in the south.

So when is 8-bit mode on until then? And what happens to the Tanks, Crews and XP on them after it's over? Just wondering if the tanks vanish will I be able to transfer free XP off them or not?

Just wondering if the tanks vanish will I be able to transfer free XP off them or not? Crews will be retrained to the T110E5, LTTB, and Foch 155. Free xp will move to tier 1 tanks. This is in line with previous events like Chaffee races.

I am so glad the 35xp for 1 gold thing happened on NA because it meant my millions of convertible XP that I was saving for warships could be converted for way less gold. Looks like I'll be able to nearly get 2 t10 boats as soon as they allow free xp crossover.

Free XP is already shared with planes, it's part of their unified account stuff.

If planes is any indication, it won't work for a little bit on launch while they run the poopsock a 10 contest and all that jazz, but it'll work after a few weeks to a month.

Vorkosigan posted:Have they actually said that recently? I thought it was just gold and premium time. I've already converted XP from planes for tanks so I'm sure it will be available in boats. For planes there was a period of time where free XP wasn't shared and that was during the planes race to teir 10. At the end of that event free xp became transferable. I'm sure something similar will happen in World of Warships.

The Lord of Hats posted:Just got the 28.01! What do I need to be prioritizing to get it up to snuff? You need the tracks first unfortunately, but then I'd try to get either the top 7,5cm or the 10,5cm howitzer depending on your playstyle, but do it even before the engine, because god forbid you play that tank for very long using the sub 100mm pen gun. You *could* reach for a compromise, get the 7,5cm L/43, then aim for the other stuff, but personally I think the weapon of choice on the tank is the 10,5mm: you can reliably disable enemy tanks with it, and it wreaks havoc if you get to shoot enemy scouts and such. Getting the back of heavy tanks is a joy too, because often they don't know about the fantastic RoF on it. I don't really have an opinion on the elite engine, though it is a sizable upgrade, it never fit in my playstyle with the tank so I think I got it last.

Game hangs at battle loading screen and doesn't display team members. Possible NA-EU issue? I can play NA replays. If anyone else has some teachable 59-16 replays I'd love to see them.
