Someone posted a ~100 shot test of the 9.6 accuracy, it looked very reasonable. Fewer shots almost dead center of the cone of fire, way more shots in the general middle of the cone of fire. What I got out of it is that the armor on my beloved IS-7 turret will be even more absurd

mightve been unlucky in my first couple of games in the 50b, but i had entire clips go wide. its not so much shots going at the edge of the crosshair, but all around the middle area. nowhere near the center tho. first game in the 132 seemed to hit everything however.

Big thing I noticed on test was that shooting on the move wasn't as reliable, but letting things settle in was still ok. Also the AMX CDC wasn't that good, especially without limited matchmaking like the FCM 50t. On the other hand the sheer number of CDCs and STA-2s made shooting HE fun. Also on FTR there is a new German TD shown, a tier 7 Rhoomba with a 88 L/71. Looks neat but I've got enough TDs. CitizenKain fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Feb 11, 2015 |

The last thing the game needs is more loving TDs. Also I give up. Not even going to try for the T-55, because I can't even get the StuG. Too bad the same account is used across all three games or I'd try flog my WoT account to some retard who thinks buying a blue account will make them not poo poo.

Speaking of missions, is anyone else having a bizarrely difficult time getting LT-06 (I think), the one where you need to spot two vehicles before you get spotted?

SU-100 + 100mm D-10S + Binos There's no helping the map selection but the above setup with a competent crew makes sniping easy. You don't really need the binoculars, but it helps to not have to depend on your pubbie teammates to find targets for you.

Play the Su-85b until you get Widepark south spawn, park on the hill and aim down the railway line, doesn't take long. The fun one is trying to get the double hit in the artillery mission without one of the big guns - I finally got Pearl River, preaimed at the middle section where tanks are guaranteed to be jammed up against each other, and not a single loving enemy tank went middle.

 A nerve-wrecking, almost 15 minute game with some retarded bounces from the back of the turret and when at 100 hp. Last 5 minutes spent driving around trying to find the camping Object 263 who at that point was two shottable.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who keeps a kill on sight poo poo list. Reserved for the guys who camp base and complain about losing, or shitlers who spend the whole match stat whining, idiot TDs who shoot allies more than enemies, etc. My latest addition was a crusader who hid on base the whole time, not bothering to attack or spot the two clusters of enemies. When they started coming to base, he proceeds to run away and take potshots at some tier 6 heavies from the front until he died. 0 damage. Awful replay when I get back to my computer.

If you can actually remember names you aren't smoking enough weed while you play.

Reserved for the guys who camp base and complain about losing, or shitlers who spend the whole match stat whining, idiot TDs who shoot allies more than enemies, etc. I prefer to keep my options open. Last night I complained that our top tank was a 286 WN8 shitlord/bot/4 year old/Down's sufferer. Our 53 55 told me to quit whining, and didn't shut up, so I one shot him in my 1551. We were down 0-6 at the time and on the way to getting rolled, so I thought I would take out some frustrations. His indignant tears were all I could hope for. I logged off in frustration after that (I think I ended up with a win rate of around 30% for the day...all my teams were like this one), so I don't know if he tried to PM me afterwards to threaten me with bans or whatever pubbies imagine will happen when they file a support ticket* *Hint- nothing. They slavishly stick to the automated system, so if you aren't auto-banned or blue already, you are good to murder any deserving candidates. Doubly so if you are in arty, since those shells can go anywhere

SU-5 with the 152. Shoots a very high arc with 3.3 meter splash. Took 2 games and I got it dealing 150 damage to 2 tier 4s hiding behind a rock. Since the circle is very round at longer ranges its fairly easy to drop shots between tanks.

Just saw a lone remaining Matilda win against four III and IV tanks, one medium and the rest light. The medium could do it some damage occasionally, but the lights could basically park behind it shooting its rear and do nothing. Once they lost the medium, is there basically nothing that even three light III-IV can do to defeat a Matilda? Any tiny nook where even poor pen can get through? The one clever idea that occurred to me, not sure if it would work, would be to catch it somewhere like a corner (such as if it backed into one to protect its rear) and deliberately have two tanks die in front of it to pin it, so the third one could just cap and wait it out.
