Well, I might struggle to get over 5k damage in tanks, but you better believe I just landed 185,000 damage in boats. Amagi be my waifu~ (I oneshot a tier 9 cruiser for 39k lol)

NotWearingPants posted:The thing that annoys me most about the campaign missions is you need to do them in every type of tank. You can only skip a type of tank if you do the secondary conditions for every single mission for the other four types. I think I've given up on missions for that reason. I really don't like playing arty and grinding the secondary conditions for every other tank class isn't worth the free premiums. On the receiving side, I don't get too worked up. I try not to be spotted or stick to cover. Still, on maps like el Harruf when a well placed arty round takes out two tanks and damages a third it's a kick in the nuts. I'm still new, but it seems like certain maps become campfests more than others, arty or no. I had a really fun game the day before yesterday, a real rarity where a pub team was quite good and played as a team. Nobody camped or just hung out at the spawn. We were outnumbered in heavies 8-5 and held the hill on Fiery Salient long enough for our mediums and td's to overrun their mediums and td's and sweep around to pick off the two wounded heavies we didn't manage to kill. I was so surprised and the game was very fun. Also TOG II is a hilariously fun tank. I love end game HP trading with a KV-1 or AT-8 or whatever. If any goon wants to TOG platoon, hit me up in TS.

Amagi be my waifu~ I am so loving jealous of your ability to play botes at the moment, you have no idea. Tell me (without being too precise and going against the NDA) how different are the weekend Beta from what you guys are currently experiencing in the Alpha? Does the lower pool of player affect matchmaking much? From what I remember, the matchmaking was kind of horrible during the beta. FFS, I ended up being alone in a Lexington on my team, vs 3 langleys and a cruiser during one of my matches.

Log in and this is the first game of the day: Yup, might as well walk right back out while the going is good. Key point was me one shotting their patton who was on the move. A t54e1 oblivious to me being around the corner even while I was spotted and heading towards him. Their 140 was telling its team the entire time where I was and they all still blundered into my shot area trying to help him against an is-7. I have no idea why said 140 was more worried about me than the 7 though. I wasn't dumb enough to take a shot and risk a non-pen that might take out the is-7 as well.

The secondary requirement for mission 15 for each line is generally something that there's a very high probability will happen as you do the primary. Except the medium one perhaps, since that one's to stay alive. But I mean, do 4k damage in a TD as primary, secondary...kill a tank? That's probably gonna happen when you do 4k damage. Light tank 4k spotting, good chance some of that damage is gonna end in a tank dead, which is the secondary. For the heavy it's "win".

Oh, for some reason I thought that that got you the fifth crew member. So you get a crew member per line completed, and that has nothing to do with secondaries? Because if that's true, wow. Arty isn't great for the game and is often terrible to play but another female crew member would easily be worth it, given the Sisterhood of Battle perk or whatever it's called.

If you are gonna use them on a 5 man crew then go for it. I personally will use them on a high tier medium so I will keep my hands clean of the clicking. I already tainted myself with the FV307 and thats how far I am willing to sin.

Animal posted:Is there some hidden soft stat that makes the STB-1's gun throw off shots? On paper it should be better than the M46, but I can land way more accurate shots with that tank. Dispersion within the aiming circle as far as I know. I don't bother running that tank without onigiri. Food, vents, BiA and vert stab makes it bearable. Just.

On paper it should be better than the M46, but I can land way more accurate shots with that tank. The difference is that the STB-1 has 0,16 track bloom and 0,14 turret bloom to the Patton's excellent 0,11/0,10. Fully aimed the STB will be more accurate but it doesn't take much movement to shift things in favor of the Patton.

I don't know if anyone else here plays Men of War Assault Squad 2, but an expansion was just released featuring third person tank combat--with mans, machine guns, and nebelwerfers even. For reference, Men of War is an RTS (with direct control capability). It's great fun, probably not worth  , but as someone who also plays World of Tanks it's an interesting change of pace. And still better than War Thunder: Ground Forces

Vents could be useful if nothing more than to speed up that aim time a smidge along with the reload. I'll have to see how things are post view range nerf to decide to keep the binos or not.

My first battle in Yamato was historically accurate: I shot at someone and then got torped by planes and capsized. My second was better, I dunked some lower tier BBs. My third? I just deleted a Nagato in a single salvo from right on the edge of his own gun range.  Also, my quality of life has improved dramatically since I stopped playing tanks!

 Comet still unstoppable, 416 still good, and god drat I cannot get a fired in my medium. Set a Pershing on fire in one shot in the 416, then shot a drat 113 four times for no crits. Not even an engine or fuel tank damaged in the Comet or T-25 tonight. Finished light/heavy/TD missions for the T28c, just cannot get a fire in a medium or splash 3 tanks in artillery.

There has been a lot of chat about what the best money making premium is and one that is not a chore to play (and is available for purchase still. Looking at you, Type 59 and E25). I know it is an unpopular tank, but I think it is the Warcrime Panther. It has a large HP pool, high DPM, accurate gun, and doesn't see 9s. I know it gets poo poo on a lot, but I would rather make 60k credit profit and enjoy the game rather than play the JT88 making 100k every other game b/c you have to rely on teams to prevent you from being flanked. My playstyle has changed a lot since I first started. I used to hate the Warcrime, but it really isn't that bad and seeing 8s for the highest makes it that much better. It has the same gun as the E25 (with lower DPM), but I will trade the DPM for a turret and 1300 total HP. Plus a German tank with American camo paint is always fun.

I'm on the T-55 missions. How does 2 fires in one battle sound? (At least it's any tier, not that one tier above poo poo.) As for the hit 3 with one shell....gently caress that thing. I got it on Windstorm of all maps. Started west, saw the enemy had a platoon of mediums. Saw one pop up in the middle area where mediums tend to go a lot on Windstorm, started aiming in. Second tank in platoon....third.....BLAM. Damaged two and the third blinked. Turns out I did module damage to his tracks, which was enough! Then the T-55 mission is to damage 3 tanks with one shell, and kill one of them. gently caress.

The Warcrime recently made me a lot of credits, when I sold it! Seriously, that tank was a chore to play for me. Everybody pens it, it's sluggish, and that doesn't really work too well with the gun. Good riddance!
