I'm putting my ladycrew in my T-54 since my other decent soviet medium crews have moved up to their respective tier 10s.

Kesper North posted:I tried searching the forums and couldn't find one - does anyone know if there is a Botes thread yet? I am not in the alpha, but it looks amazing. Game's under an NDA. Probably not the best idea ever to have a thread that'd encourage a whole bunch of people to show up at the top of a google search.

If it's one of the available names I'm the drop down, you can change it to whatever you want. Otherwise, you're SOL.

Atal Vataman posted:its actually this thread, because the boatlords in here are two lazy to make a new thread. interestingly, this is also the thread for WW2 train history. Actually it is not that we are too lazy to create a botes thread. We cannot create a thread here because depending on what is being discussed it would be a violation of the NDA. there is however a discussion in PGS

I think I somehow snuck into the botes alpha, because I can play it, but I don't have access to the alpha forums or anything. If someone in the alpha could PM me if there is a way to get more garage slots I'd appreciate it.

Anyone want to make a team for the next tournament? Registration ends on February 8th, and the tournament runs from the 9th to the 13th, with a 10k gold grand prize. Teams are 4v4 (with 2 reserves per team), tier 5 max. http://worldoftanks.com/uc/tournaments/1101-Weekday_Warfare_5/

Teams are 4v4 (with 2 reserves per team), tier 5 max. 20 point max, I assume points are tiers? So four Tier V tanks would be 20 points, etc. I'm in except for Wednesday the 11th (round 3) and possibly Friday the 13th (round 5). I should know about Friday early next week.

Pm me and I will tell you who to contact to fix the forum perms. Also the only way to get more slots is to sell a botes or buy them with the gold equivalent stipend we get.

Terrorist Fistbump posted:
I then went on to cross the map in my sherman jumbo, find the dude, drive in front of him and then every tank I spotted, I'd holler "THAT ONE'S MINE! I GOT IT!" and then I'd proceed to one-shot the tank. I was faster than he was so I kept cutting him off every time we'd near a bump or a corner, and then since I got to the tanks first, I'd call them out loud. By the end of the match our entire team was in stitches, and I had gone 7 kills and the guy who'd flipped out had 0.  Sometimes the griefing gods are on your side.

Are you telling me that I could have been playing botes all this time and was simply too dumb to even loving know? Omfg!  EDIT: Come to think of it, I'm not sure I want to. I have no technical expertise and Alpha is better left to those who do, since they're testing and reporting on bugs while I would simply be playing and sinkin' botes.

I'll correct myself, select Beta weekenders were chosen to continue to Alpha so that was on me. But if you have access to the Alpha forums then you are likely in but they are never 'prompt' about getting the permissions sorted. It was a full two weeks after I was accepted into wave 1 of Alpha before they actually granted me access to the game. There was chatter on the forums of having all the Beta's roll into Alpha but gently caress if I can find that post and what became of it.

The chatter I remember and I'm not trying to be pissy about it...tanks is really sapping my will to live, granted I fear WoWS will probably do the same went there's some sort of XVM set up for it. I have access to the forums...but probably the Alpha Forums I guess? Not that worried about it currently. I dropped my survey to them for whatever the hell that's worth.

Well, some WG moderator edited out the "abusive content" in the PM that rear end in a top hat sent me. I hope and pray to the tank gods that he got slapped with a few warning points and is on his way to a forum ban.

Missing Name posted:I'm stuck on that loving "heavy go cap and also shoot things lots of times" mission. I was surprised when I got it on the KV-4, of all tanks. I just kept pushing the advance, broke through a flank, and ended up in their base while the survivors of their team were stuck far away and downhill. A medium popped up just as it ticked to 100 and his shot bounced. So yeah, pure luck.

Here's a game where I got shot by a friendly waffle who's trying to poach kills, and then exploded from something else (shh, I play pretty bad) After I die, I switch to see what the WT Panzer is doing, and he is trying to shoot a T-54L at point-blank and misses around 7 times before getting killed. http://wotreplays.com/site/1589646#northwest-slim_jim_pickens-e_50
