Well they also say that gold ammo is pretty rare and has only increased slightly in usage since they let us buy it with credits. Which I'm sure is both true and honestly represented.

Well, I know they said this a few months after they let us buy premium ammo for credits...but have they mentioned it at all since? I assumed that they didn't mention it ever again because the use has increased greatly and they don't want to admit that.

That's like 10x my average. Gotta get that last shot in even if it kills me also ramming speed.

I threw my Ru251 at a WT4 yesterday and missed and I exploded on impact (he was the last tank, we had 10 left) and then I remembered that the secondary for my mission was to survive. :downs:

It is that I have not seen a tier 9 or 10 game in it, at all in the few matches I have played so far. I could be very very lucky with mm tonight. but that just does not sit right in WoT.

You're complaining that you aren't seeing tier 10's in the CDC? Perhaps you should be celebrating since the CDC in tier 8 games is strong as all gently caress.

Quick CDC report:

After finally getting the all girl crew yesterday I decided to waste my hard earned money on a pixel tank.

This tank is really nice. It is fast, get a great rate of fire. Even in T10 games I did not find myself at a huge disadvantage.

With that being said. It is quite large and can be penned by a wet noodle. Still, it is a nasty machine that can really do some damage.

:siren:Here's a link to my modpack for 9.6!:siren:

Here are the fonts it uses.

It contains:
- XVM with my own brand of lines on the minimap
- White = Maximum spotting/draw distance and traverse indicators
- Red = Artillery and low tier autoloader range
- Green = View range and camera direction
- 2 seconds protection from shooting at corpses
- J1mb0's crosshair mod
- Server-side crosshair
- 500m zoom out, 16x zoom in
- Meltymap's damage and armour thickness indicator
- Scope shadow removed
- Locastan's damage panel and session stats
- 2 row tank carousel
- My Metal Gear Solid sixth sense mod
- HP bars and Team HP
- Battle assistant
- 15m "Shoot through bushes safely" circle - Toggle with Numpad 0
- Autoaim to tank nearest reticle - Toggle with F10
- Autoequip binocs/net/toolbox

It probably also has some other stuff I've forgotten about, but nothing that can get you banned. Let me know if there are any issues.

Edit: It also has an edited gui_settings.xml file to restore the US>UK>Germany>France>USSR>China>Japan tank order.


Thank you so much for this.

It went from 32s base reload to 36s on the autoloader. The single shot gun got hurt a lot more. No stated mobility or accuracy changes.

To be fair we played a lot of artillery, and CAPFASTed twice in our lights. It was a beautiful CAPFAST so it should give us more WN8 but alas, life is cruel.

Noobmeter is bugged again, at least for me. It shows my last session as a 231 WN8 over 45 games, which boosted my overall by 5.7 points. I am bad, but not quite that bad. The WR and survival rates looks about right, but WN8 calc is off. I hope :emo:

Tony Great House is the new SLYFOX54. Top tier Panther on Fisherman's Bay, went straight south down 8 line and autoaimed our team. He did not survive long. His stats are loving atrocious as you would expect.

I really wish Wargaming would do something about obvious botters before they've played 50k games.

Holy poo poo, I installed the automatic autoaim and hello snap shotting fun time.
As someone with relatively bad hand-to-eye coordination I can actually finally autolock those long range snap shots without having to put my cursor on the enemy tank.
Driving and aiming is hard.
I guess it is time to start playing my Pattons a lot more now.

Also, 3 3.5k games in a row in my E3/ISU152 and I need 4k.

I don't know exactly which files it uses, but you can get it from OMC. All it does is put a 15m circle on the ground around your tank so you can see which bushes are far enough away to shoot through safely without going into sniper mode. It's one of those things that you don't need until you really need it, like when you're the last tank left and trying to remain unspotted.

The only mod I absolutely couldn't do without is the gun sights. The vanilla ones are just so loving bad. If I am going to spend the entire game staring at something, at least make it marginally interesting/useful.

Accuracy is INSANELY good for snapshotting on NA server. Hetzer snapshotting with the derp, SU-122-44s firing on the move, full bloom Comet and T-25 shots - everything is hitting WAY too often. e: and full bloom, 90 degree turning SU-100Y shots from 200m, apparently.

Don't forget the 300m snapshots from KV-2s.

I was in a game last night where 2 successive Luchs died while moving full gallop laterally to the KV-2 on Prok. The first one was an idiot and kinda ran out into the open. Still he was moving at full speed and the KV-2 one-shot him. The second Luchs was much better statistically and I'm sure he thought, "Nah, there's no way that tomato can make that shot again." Again full gallop and again moving laterally to the KV-2 who was in the back corner just off the road. Again, one-shot.
