Can someone repost the link to that mod that locks auto-aim to the tank closest to your reticle even if the reticle is not on the tank?

Thanks!

This feels like a bit like cheating because it's so much better, but on the other hand it sort of feels like this is the way it should be without mods.

Obsidian has a pretty good rep and Fallout: Las Vegas and Stick of Truth are loving awesome. Pillars of Eternity looks promising, too.

Also, all the WoT UI clone stuff will change, they're placeholders.

Oh, I absolutely love Obsidian games; I'm just saying they're usually pushed into excellence by solid writing rather than solely their gameplay, and an arcade tank shooter will be an interesting change for them.

I also somehow suspect that they won't seriously modify the UI, why make it that way in the first place if they're going to switch it all later? It's clear they know who their target market is and what they're used to. That's not exactly a complaint on my part, though, since the gameplay looks like it can be fun and fast-paced.

I mean, other than they actually SAID these are placeholder UIs, sure, I guess they won't modify it.

People keep saying that the 112 is bad but it is arguably my favorite tier 8 that isn't the t32 and certainly my go-to credit grinder.

http://1drv.ms/1KGEuqt

I played a couple solo rounds tonight before strongholds stuff and if you are on the fence about the 112 you should at least watch the sand river one. I don't think there is a single other tier 8 that could have won where the 112 did.

I have been going bat poo poo insane today trying to get my MT "kill 2 mediums" mission and LT "spot an SPG". Every game I take the MT out there are no more than 1 medium on the other team and when I take the LT out, you guessed it, no arty.

I did get HT15, combined damage and bounces of over 10k in an IS-7. :smug:

If it makes you feel better the next one is kill 3 mediums. :negative:

Rage sold the panter 2 after being 1 shot by arty (for the 4th time that day) and free xped the rest of the way. holy poo poo the e50 is hilarious, i must have been imbued with pubbie luck this game or something, but when you receive over twice your health in potential damage in a medium cant help but :smug:

I'm tempted to pick up the E-50 again next time there is a crew retraining sale. I sold it a few patches before it got buffed, and regret it. Also I've got this German medium crew sitting around, and its not like I'm going to ever rebuy the Leo Prototype.

The E-50M is IMO the best overall Tier X tank.

Let me tell you about snapshotting on the move. It involves a 155 58 and 6 victims. No I am not joking, I have killed that many arty in shotgun while on the move. Arty should not have the ability to do this pretty reliably.

The Bishop is laughably more accurate full speed third person view than it is in artillery view aimed in. Good times.

of course full speed in the Bishop is slightly above walking speed, but whatever.

Hey, Otter guys.
If you play a T-54 you are apparently a statpadder according to your clan mate AggressorV. Who also unfortunately lost all the games we faced him in. He was not mad at all.

Also, got Stalingrad in my IS-8, went west to fight in the city and racked up 3.8k damage, until I got killed by a T71. Thanks to AlleviatedRisk we won easily.
But in the after battle report I had 4.3k damage, where the last 500 HP came from me shooting at different tanks and then blindly hitting a M53/55 for almost all his health.
Never not blind shoot.

Casca was in CRABS and then he moved to another clan with a bunch of those guys. Haven't seen Anderson in forever. Last I time I heard from Casca he sounded like he wasn't really into tanks anymore.

It's a Skirmish! Runs from the 16-22 but most of that is only if you make the finals. Being slightly above average nets you 500 gold so no sweat.
Mittenberg again, 5 tanks, tier 8 max heavies only with 38 points. Again, no clue. 5 players and 3 reserves.

Join the Skirmish team you nerds, top 20% is super easy in tier 8s where there are a billion terrible pubbie teams for us to kick around, and top 10% is super doable. Our map strat is "get in a big ball and go murder people."

I don't think it got nerfed but it's not really as good as advertised either. Standard MM, 3x-overmatched everything and 0,16 turret bloom are the main downsides.

Don't get me wrong though, it's still got some nice upsides. It's just not tank jesus. Overall, I think I'd rather have an FCM 50 t (although gold for gold it gets trickier).

disappointed they nerfed the ground resistances from something like 0.8 to 1.6, i was looking forward to a t8 med with bt-7 acceleration.

might be an alright pickup if you have a batchat and plan to go down the amx 30 line as well.

That reminds me, the motion physics update is supposed to do away with passability and replace it with (if I got it right) a pure % modifier on engine power delivered to the transmission. For some reason I find this really funny.

*Right-clicks and checks stats* "This tank has a 1200 HP engine" *hidden stat cuts that in half, tank is actually slow as hell*

Still it's not like that's fundamentally different from the current situation. Just a little more on the nose.

Casca was a pretty good guy, both of them were overwhelmed when fearless leader quit. Then to go from NDP to CRABS was like going from one sinking ship to another. No wonder they burned out.

I think terrain differentiation is still going to be a thing. And hey, they might actually show the coefficient since it's much more straight-forward than passability. We'll see.
