Magres posted:Lakeville and Malinovka also work really well, though they're both prone to yolo charges ruining your game. I did the first LT-15 on Lakeville. Where do you do spotting on Lakeville, middle road? Honestly, besides spotting missions I'd normally just go town and shoot dudes in the butt in a light on Lakeville.

Thanks for posting that, I ended up watching the entire thing. WitchFetish posted:
How is it? As a mediocre tanks player I have that in my sights as the best I can realistically hope for from the personal missions any time soon, the stats look good from what I've seen.

I've decided to stop drinking. I wonder how this will affect my tanking. For one, my damage dealt per game seems to have gone up... I'm still terrible at tanks. Although now I've unlocked the Jagdtiger without using any freexp throughout the entire grind!

In fact, the driver enjoys a whopping 45 degree frontal view through narrow periscopes. Drivers take their commands from the tank commander, who backs them up, drives them forward, etc. trusting the commander to not drive them all into a ditch. In fact, the driver is usually the lowest ranking and least experienced person on the vehicle.

Yeah, that's exactly how I got my 4k spotting done. Got like 3k done by spotting the south team's crossing to the town (which had the side effect of pretty much winning us the game outright, they were down 2 tanks before the town fight even started), then got my last thousand by driving around their base like a crazy person and tracking fools

Maimgara posted:The german Leopard tanks have rear view mirrors, visible on the ingame model in their folded-up position. Not that you get actual good vision with those, I think the idea is to have someone guiding you, if you're doing maneuvers that are more precise then "through that wall and over that car" It also had a rear-view camera for the driver since the 2A5 I think. The indigenously-upgraded variant of the 2A4 used by the Swiss IIRC also has one. Magni fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Feb 2, 2015 |

It is a take on The Final Countdown (im a sucker for time travel movies). Premise is that a Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer is on its way back from wargames gets sucked back to ww2, all these dudes grew up post ww2 and the nukes. Do they sink the american carriers and help the IJN or stay neutral? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNH5T1wQrgw&t=1083s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGihNrP-uGg&index=5&list=PLUHHCRpTzNxFZcHL6ruA4KZW4Nte2EEqK#t=20m59s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ow7zf1Jl8&t=2717s Cheezy but still good.

Fun fact: they make nearly all of their money by selling virtual marriage certificates so you can enter holy matrimony with the waifu of your choice. They get repeat customers because polygamy is a thing, and also because you can get your waifu perma-killed if you're not paying attention. It's like dating your best soldier in X-Com.

Someone playing on the supertest, how bad are the dispersion changes really going to be?Refried Noodle posted:That is sexy as hell. There are some replays of it on wotreplays.com and it looks pretty powerful in tier7 games. There are also some replays of people with T-55As, which just shows that some people have no life. I would expect none of these mission tanks to be that common, since only good players will actually manage to get the T28 Concept.

After meeting a dev ingame in botes and then messaging him on the official forums it seems they are going to let me keep the alpha access and just update my forum status to alpha tester. Yay!

How many degrees does that gun traverse, 180+? Also I'm excited to finally buy a discounted Object 140. Sold my WZ-120 to pay for it, but whatever, I already have a 121 and all that and I never play it anymore.

If you can get any kind of height advantage, the upper plate is really soft if you're shooting down onto it.  From head on, the weld seams are pennable, the gun bubbles are weak spots too if you hit them flush.  The recess behind the gun pivot is tougher than the rest of it from the side too. kemikalkadet fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Feb 2, 2015 |

Thank you. In case I meet Witch... Or other no-lifers. In other news: 8bit mode is rather frustrating with teammates running in every direction, leaving you alone. But that crew experience, with the current special of double crew exp. Retrained my amx12t crew into the french thing, I want sixth on them asap. Worth the gold.

xthetenth posted:From what I've seen depressingly few compared to the numbers of people who want to drive the Bismarck, Prinz Eugen (How do you even like that class they didn't do anything special) and other horrid wastes of schiffbaustahl. It looks cool + not even Amerikan nukes could sink it, it would still be in service if Amerikan sailors weren't so afraid of repairing it lest it mutate and become sentient due to the radiation. (My favourite ship is the Deutschland class, because putting 11" guns on a cruiser is pretty rad.) Also these missions are rather infuriating, you get some kind of cockblocker mission that relies way too much on the RNG or those games where both of your teams are just incompetent enough, then it follows up with "Deal 1000 damage!" or "Deal damage six times!" and you just wonder what the hell.

If Europe, pester the EU thread in PGS for an invite to 2PAC, the EU stronghold against the pubbies. If NA, gently caress if I know. For lines to grind, KV-1 to IS7 is easy and good, US heavies and mediums are also good. Do the M6 before the T29 to get the 90mm, or everyone will laugh at your stock T29 with the 76mm.

So yes the Swiss version comes with some extras that RUAG added to get some work hours out of it, there's also some sort of camera/joystick controlled MG that the German base model lacks. If you want a Leo2, I can tell you where 2/3rd or so of the Swiss tanks are mothballed. We can't sell them you know, in case Austria attacks us.

Light tank capping mission didn't finish because despite having capped the base the last enemy tank died within 5 seconds of the cap finishing. Fix your game, Wargaming. Edit: There's something special about ramming heavy tanks to death in an E-50 and taking puny amounts of damage for it. Tiny compact IS, IS-3 and IS-6 tanks can't deal with 62 tons of steel! srb fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Feb 2, 2015 |
