Hellsau posted:Ah fair enough. On the NA server, playing on other accounts is allowed but whenever it comes up the mods are quick to note that owning multiple account is against the ToS. Do they even provide a reason for that? I mean, wtf do they care if people have multiple accounts since you're technically only playing one at a time. The way I see it, as long as people pay for gold ammo and crap like that, wargamming shouldn't be giving a poo poo. Unless they don't like it in order to cater to the playerbase who think that having good stats at W.o.T makes them somebody in real life?

That's a bug due to mods overwriting localization data. The real SPG-7 is "destroy a tank destroyer". Found that in literally 10 seconds with google.

saintonan posted:Ok, help me figure out crew retraining. I am about to buy a T25/2, aiming toward the T30. I'm not planning on selling the Hellcat, so I'd like to leave that crew there. That makes it sound like you have interest in keeping the Hellcat but not the T25 nor T28. If that is the case then why not just start a new crew which will be on its third skill by the time you get to the T30? I'd be reluctant to move the radioman from the Hellcat if it's a tank you still want to play because he probably has both camo and situational awareness which are both pretty useful in a TD. Loader skills aren't that great so I wouldn't be too concerned about having two multiple skill loaders unless maybe you are going for BIA. But it seems like a workable plan if you don't intend to play arty any more.

If he was on spg-7, then he needs up to update his mods and/or look again with all his mod disabled. If it is spg-10, then they also have to do 1k damage along with nailing a spg. Both are relatively easy to complete all things considering.

Every moment I watched in that guy's stream was full of action that would make your average NA pubbie poo poo his pants, turn tail, and find the furthest building to hide behind. I played a match, Redshire Assult, south spawn, and two retard top tier heavies just camped the J line. They kept sitting there even when the enemy team started capping. They weren't disconnected because they were talking in chat.

Does the mission allow for any SPG or a specific tier? Are you sure your shot is what caused the tracking? I would recommend a high tier artillery. The bigger splash radius and higher damage might lead to better result.

Still have 50k xp before i can get the top gun on the Conq I don't want to have to spend real money to get the free XP needed but drat its a lot of gold needed. At least it means I won't be stupid enough to play it as a heavy tank instead of the fat medium that it is.

I like the vanilla Matilda, but is the Matilda 4 like a regular Matilda with it's limited MM and less penetrating, more damage gun? I know Hellsau said he don't like it, but since some says he is artistically worse than Hitler, is there any other views?

They have to be killed by a teammate while still tracked. Best thing to do is fire at targets that have a couple of hundred hitpoints over your average hit damage with the arty you're using. So, if you're making pubbies cry in a ConquerorGC only shoot at poo poo that's on about 1100 HP and close to some random shitlord that'll probably miss/bounce his shot anyway just to frustrate you. I say this, of course, while silently hating you for clicking.

Trying to stop people from jumping to another account after a ban would make sense I suppose. However, I personally have not seen a longer ban than 24 hours. If people can't live without tanks for 24 hours, they have a serious problem and need to learn to enjoy better games such as literally anything. As for the stats thing, if they were catering to people who care about stats, then no.. i don't think they'd allow new accounts for re-roll. Quite the contrary, I think they would want stats to remain what they are because what is the point of statistic if you can change them whenever you want? Too many people would bitch.. which isn't anything new or anything SerB has ever cared about. Long live SerB.

Whenever I have it turned on in settings, but don't have a serverside reticle mod installed, the regular reticle will act like that and move really jerkily.

This poo poo is easy, you just sit back and poo poo damage with little risk to yourself. Pan around, choose a poor sap, enable Battle Assistant, CLICK. A few days ago an artillery player went into this surreal rage on chat. I was in the good old E-50M, sniping from a hill, when I spot his Tier X arty behind a ridge, with a small portion of its body exposed. I put a shell on him that leaves him with about 50hp. He scoots out of harm, and goes on chat to RAGE about how bullshit that was. Apparently his expectation is that he should NEVER have received damage unless the match went horribly wrong, while he should be allowed to vomit out damage. The fact that there was suddenly an unexpected risk that he would receive some damage in return seemed deeply unfair to him. Animal fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 15, 2015 |

"I don't use gold ammo because actually being efficient and helping my team win would sully my honor and my wonderful 45% winrate. Furthermore, I also refuse to kick my opponent in fighting games, to strafe in FPS or to use the I shaped pieces in Tetris, because for some reason, my loving pubbie brain decided this wasn't fairplay, nevermind the fact everybody does it and it just makes me a loving hindrance for my team."

I've said for a long time that I would pay a monthly fee for a mode without gold ammo, or even better for a module that meant I couldn't shoot them but those of everybody else shooting me turned into regular ap also.

The spotting missions are the worst when you're trying to solo random in scouts. You take up some ninja position and start rubbing your hands together at the thought of the sexual feelings you're going to get when stuff in front of you starts to evaporate under the awesome firepower of your team's onslaught. Oh yeah, pubbies are wank-rag at everything. The absolute best thing about running a clan is that you know you've always got people to platoon with that you picked yourself (or picked by proxy). Missions are slightly less bad in a competent platoon. Animal posted:I am silently weeping inside of shame for all this clicking. I hadn't played artillery since beta.

One of the only reasons I still look at the EU forums is to slowly and methodically generate arty hate while making it seem ludicrous to object. Going well so far. In fairness to me arty is broken as all hell.
