rockopete posted:Oh right, Japan, that beacon of equality between the sexes and flexible gender roles. Using Japanese standards to judge anything having to do with women or the portrayal of women is a laughably bad idea and is one of the more well-worn justifications employed by the sketchy avatar crowd, hth. I just don't know who is being serious anymore e: the idea that Pokemon with Girls is seriously promoting sexism or violence against women is as dumb as the idea that WoT is pro-fascism. It's a total non-sequitur. If you'd like to continue this "debate", there's a thread in ADTRW that I humbly invite you to join me in, assuming you won't pass out or throw up or something.

Non-anime related question: I have a SU-152, and am grinding toward the ISU-152. I also have a SU-122-44. Since premium vehicles rack up xp faster, will it be faster to grind to the ISU by using the 122-44 and just paying the gold to convert the xp than it will to use the SU-152 directly?

saintonan posted:Non-anime related question: No, just play your SU-152 shooting a lot of HEAT (and HE at soft tanks, sides, rears, Tigers, and the turrets of hull down American tanks). Its awesome. At the same time use the 122-44 to train your crew. When you unlock the ISU, THEN use your gold to convert XP to get the tracks and the top gun, and keep using the 122-44 to improve the crew.

Anyone that would not mind verifying me on the TS would be a super cool particular individual. I'm idling in the lobby channel, slowm (MOTU). Feel free to kick me from server after verify, I'm heading out for work and won't return until later tonight. Just completed missions on all classes up to the platoon missions, so I need some buff dudes with which to horse around. NTR is pretty dead and most of them are mega-nerds. I need a platoon of men that know how to treat a bro right. HOLLA.

So is PANSY doing a tourney next week or what's happening with that? Someone asked for interest and I said I'd be up for it but I haven't seen anything since. And I'm asking in this thread because I'm pretty sure this is the thread in which that was posted, as opposed to the PGS PANSY thread.

demonR6 posted:My main beef right now is smoke screen..it seems like the ships who lays it down has an advantage where they can still see me but I am completely blind to see them. They should not have that kind of advantage.. last night I ran into a double DD smoke screen and had no idea where the gently caress they were but they were belching torps and hitting my ship like they were parked in front of me. Belching torps while invisible is the whole point of the smokescreen, and DDs in general.

Shutting up about anime, sorry for the derail. Illegal Carrot posted:But none of these changes have actually impacted arty in any meaningful way. In a tank, it's still terrible getting gibbed by arty out of nowhere, and as an SPG it still sucks when your shot whiffs and you're stuck waiting another 80 seconds for the privilege of clicking once on an enemy tank. No one is having any fun there, and the only thing those arty nerfs accomplished was slightly shifting the balance of who feels frustrated when, and how often. With the increased transparency and better understanding of game mechanics and hidden stats, as well as the development of Battle Assistant, Sword of Damocles, red ball/pole, and other arty mods, I'd bet that any competent arty player is in just as good of a position as as they've ever been. And with the inclusion of a wider variety of SPGs (ones that can reposition quickly, ones with a quick rate of fire, ones with near-vertical impact trajectories, ones with autoloaders, etc.) the entire class' mechanics have been stretched to the breaking point, with no real solution in sight. Again, I just want to know if there's any official word on the matter, if there's any end to the problem in sight, or if there's any potential solution to this that I might just be missing. I haven't seen or heard any official word recently. You make good points, I have a hard time seeing how it can be balanced/made fun for all without fundamental changes. Maybe cap it at two per game, or drop the top two tiers and make tier 8 battle tier 10? Like it used to be except retaining the nerf and current alpha. Or maybe add setup and teardown times? That would have the added bonus of actually using the metal anchor/stakes present on so many of the models. quote:Including you, we have three players, which means we'd need another three to have a full team. Deadline for signups is the 8th. Okay. Do you have a link to to the roster? I'll have to miss Wednesday and maybe Friday so at least one reservist will definitely get to play. Join up for free gold, people, you don't need skill, just a tier 5 and the ability to listen! rockopete fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Slow, armored, gun is like an inverse of the Churchill's, ~110 damage but ~90 pen. Horrible gold pen, like under 110, which is the dealbreaker.

Well FTR is bringing in more terrible news... - there will not be a HD E-100 in 9.6. In test 3, it was removed and switched back to SD version, as the developers will not be able to fix all the mistakes of the model until the release There goes any amount of excitement I had for patch 9.6.

How does the smoke work when you deploy it anyway? Does it create a line based on your location and direction when you pop it or does it keep fogging up with your ship in the center?

Imagine a Churchill III but worse and you have to shoot APCR all the time. Yeah, you have mad gun depression, but that's worth little when your gun is so useless. I bought one as a novelty when it was 75% off. I don't think any other premium tank was ever that steeply discounted except the Valentine, which I also bought. At least it's amusing to pair with B2s.

TK'ed a 45% archer (who had 30 HP) so I could shot an enemy m44 once and them get the ram kill mission in a Chi-To. He messaged me too: bigsig (8:08:18 PM) u r a cock licking rear end in a top hat crazedkid103 (8:08:46 PM) needed the ram kill mission so.....meh bigsig (8:09:09 PM) u suck rear end fucker crazedkid103 (8:09:26 PM) sorry but at 45% over 16k games you really rean't a good judge love it.

Mesadoram posted:Either way, I am so going to buy the poo poo out of that tank. The T9 and T10 look like really brutal tanks that have 0 armor. Just need to grind the XP in the 13 90 which as of late has been difficult due to pubbie retardation. 130k XP sound about right? A friend of mine suggested that it'll be similar to the XP cost of the RU 251 to the Leo PTA, which is ~180k I think.

Pastebin with harsh premium tank judgment. Matilda 4 is worse in every single metric compared to the Churchill 3, except for rotating the hull. Less HP, worse armor, worthless pen, and it's slower! Slower than a loving Churchill! 102 gold pen basically means that you cannot defeat even the worst KV-1 drivers unless they have the 76mm or are using HE from the 57mm or don't have an extinguisher and let you shoot them in the rear side or something else ludicrous. Doesn't stop it from just murdering the gently caress out of the enemy tanks if they don't fire at you and also show their side to you.  60 damage frontally from a loving derp M2MT on the slowest tier 5 tank, get hosed. What a worthless tank. I wish there was another pref 5 medium tank.

We were losing, so I killed a 13 hp Chi-Ri so that an E75 could save his shell for a more threatening target next to him. Unfortunately, he then turned around, ignored the enemy, and put the shell into me. I stole his ram kill!

Considering selling my over-used E75 for the IS-8, mostly to make use of my 4 skill is-6 crew and I've moved all my old E-75 crew to the E-100. Can the IS-8 perform well or dominate in the tier 9 game?

It can preform well, however consistency out of it relies more on pubbies being bad than the tank being good.
