Hellsau posted:Chapter 2: IOC I am honestly not surprised by this, seeing as I am now in IOC. I joined up simply because there are more IOC players on than goons at the times I actually manage to play (and they can often click red tanks). Also If you want to play tanks, don't get kids. IOC players have good stats (mostly by statpadding OP tanks), and some are actual good players. Whereas some have supposedly good stats, but when you toon with them, you just want to scream at them. Like one guy that hates Prokhorovka and therefore he suicides over the middle ridge, while the match is still undecided and he effectively loses us the game with that move. To make it worse, he was playing a T-54 in that game, a tank which is pretty ideal for that map.

Welp time for the depressing ending: Chapter 3: Y0L0  Look at this clan emblem. That’s a sweet emblem. Oh man this is in their clan description now: “We Are Mature Clan and like to Treat our Friends or Opponents with RESPECT in Battle Field. We learn from our losses, and do better next time by not doing similar mistakes.” I…suspect that was not there when I joined. Again, I refused to call from the start. The first day I joined there wasn’t any clan wars. People are arguing about which gun to use on the T-54. Woody27685 wants to use the gun that leads to the 140 (the correct gun) and others are disagreeing because "lol higher pen". Similarly, "the Pershing was technically classified as a heavy in world war 2.” I knew then that I had joined the right clan. I have a note saying “RGA is unhappy with Woody” but I have no idea what that means. Day 1 - We didn't have enough for two full teams. Woody was extremely concerned about a few of us from our primary battle (that was 4 minutes afterwards) coming in and suiciding the middle on Lakeville. It worked out though. We won that battle AND got 4 more people fame. Lost on Ensk because Blazing_Hornet hid in a corner with his 50 100 and ignored the caller. Whoops. Gotta save them repairs (he did one clip of damage and was the last one alive). Day 2 – “Tried doing tier 6 strongholds. Players deliberately played poorly. Good times.” I’m not kidding – one dude intentionally lost us a game out of spite, and they just did not want to have fun playing tier 6s. Shinmiri (4:57:45 PM) i swear to god RUS players are the most disappointing stat-padders i've seen Shinmiri (4:58:04 PM) they play like they're 500 wn8 below what they actually are I think I sat out clan wars because I didn’t need fame. Day 3 - No clan wars, I think due to lovely chip placement. We did a team battle where we played like poo poo in one game, and then I got thrown under a bus in another so they could try to get a minor amount of gold. Fun. Don’t play organized stuff with terrible players. Days 4 through 6 - I have no notes. I think I just kinda didn’t care at this point since it was getting boring with everyone being the regular kind of bad instead of the extremely funny VOLT kind of bad. Day 7 – “Woody doesn't like me. He's a big fan of vicodin apparently?” Remind me to record all the teamspeak conversations next time I go on pubbie safari. We went in with 13 against PLSGO, including two tier 9s. We nearly won, we would have with slightly better play. We lost to -_A_- on the main battle for our HQ. These people are really bad! Day 8 - Suicide pushed into established E3s, against my advice. Lost. Good times. They were set up in the northern part of Ruinberg city, so we can either pull around south and come at them up the 1, 2, and 3 lines simultaneously, OR we can rush two of our tanks down A line to distract while the rest of our dudes hit their sides down the B line, OR we can push into their faces from B line and let their team in city come back to support them. We chose that last option. We had a LOT of fights on Ruinberg tonight due to encounters and poo poo. We repeatedly failed to push 0 line on Ruinberg. Four times in a row, I was first into east village, no matter where I spawned. Fourth time they were staggered and I clipped someone out, but no one else bothered moving up. We lost. I berate people for repeatedly making the same mistake after being called out on it, but I am told to shut up, it's in the past. They then continue to discuss that match for ten+ minutes until we have less than eight minutes on the next battle. "Hey we should pick a team for this,” as if they even care about winning. I’m at my limit at this point, so I just kick back and relax in teamspeak. I’ve got the tank, just gotta record what’s going on. Lost on tundra against FELIX. Got destroyed against HAVOK on Sand River. I talked at length with poor TheMightyAnon, who had an extremely poor opinion about Woody and O_P_Hacker. Woody especially cannot call to save his life, even when handed a strat. He just lacks the capacity to respond to what he sees, and more importantly, what he doesn’t see. He basically calls as badly as I do! So, day 8 ends and we have two days left. We have like 10-20 people who can get the tank with just a couple more 5x wins, MightyAnon among them. That poor bastard can’t even play the next day, so he gives me his account info, and I take it upon myself to win him a tank. I message Woody to drop chips: <23:41:58> "Chillsau": I suggest landing on Scranton, Pennsylvania tomorrow. It'll give us fights at ~7:30pm eastern <23:42:22> "Woody27685": there is just no hope for us <23:42:32> "Woody27685": people dont want to listen <23:42:34> "Chillsau": then land on Scranton and give me a chance to get Mighty the tank <23:42:52> "Chillsau": I'll call for one riot and get enough fame to get him the tank at least <23:44:54> "Woody27685": it dont matter to me <23:45:11> "Chillsau": sweet, drop chips on Scranton when you can <23:45:50> "Chillsau": we'll also have up to two stacks unlocked tomorrow for west coast landings, and landing in the early slot will give us time to avoid overlapping battles This mother fucker doesn’t even want his clan to win. gently caress him, I refuse to accept that. I go to sleep, and chips haven’t been dropped yet. I’m…worried that Woody will actively sabotage the Y0L0 members just to spite me. Day 9 - Chips get dropped on the riot on Scranton – the only place to play Dragon Ridge – at the last possible turn, and I say I will call the fights. I call. We win easily four matches in a row. My strat is to put tanks in the center, then have those tanks hold W and shoot. I let them all know they will be TKed if they EVER peek and poke – only one of them needed to take a shot in the rear end for them to learn to stop peeking and poking. It’s messy, but we win the riot tournament, and take the land. Hooray! I have a Skirmish after we hold that land, so I come up with a Mountain Pass strat, hand it over to O_P, and go make my gold. They then proceed to ignore my strat and go with their own. It doesn’t work. I barely make it into the CW fight before it kicks off. It’s a landowner fight against VILIN. They loving CAMP the center on Mountain Pass, from east spawn, and lose BADLY – less than 100 base XP on a loving 5x. Woody and OP are in autoloaders and get one or zero damaging shots each. I flip the gently caress out. They are actively sabotaging their clanmates’ chances to get the tank, and they don’t give a poo poo because gently caress You, Got Mine. I tell them as such in the teamspeak - <00:06:52> You were banned permanently from the server by "Mike2048" (Disrespectful) I then proceed to go the gently caress off in the game chat and in the clan chat after the game while logged into Mighty’s account, then log onto my own account to continue to berate them and end up getting kicked from the clan. Pastebin because chatlogs are boring, me flipping out is at the bottom - http://pastebin.com/P9KgSUaV Day 10 – I’m no longer in the clan, and can no longer help them. Fortunately TheMightyAnon is back, and can play to try to get more fame…if he wanted to. He plays with them on Dragon Ridge, where they try something completely stupid (ignoring my success the previous night) and they lose badly. He really is just completely fed up and does not want to play with those chucklefucks anymore. We look at the fame point projections, the +5% safety net is projected at around 85900. Mighty’s got nearly 88000, so he just goes to sleep, content with barely making the tank. I go to sleep, a bit sad that I can’t really take credit for killing Y0L0 since Woody basically admitted he did not care if his clanmates got the tank or not. I suspect he and/or O_P intentionally sabotaged that VILIN match. Whatever, at least the campaign’s over and I got my tank. TheMightyAnon ended up at position 3003.

There's maybe ~500 actual good players on the NA server spread out among a lot of different clans, and then a couple thousand people who want to be good but don't put in the effort to improve, and a couple thousand more that put in the effort but aren't quite there yet. And yeah, I really really wish I didn't play with Y0L0. I've been putting this off for a while because it's a huge downer of an ending. IOC was so good, I could have just joined a real clan to get the last couple thousand of fame. Seriously though if your clan leadership is as big of a piece of poo poo as Woody then there's very little you can do to change it.

In the Service of the White Guards At the end of WWI, the former Russian Empire was engulfed in another war, a civil war. It differed in degradation of tactics and a decrease in the technical level of forces involved. There were, however, exceptions. Modern weapons occasionally came into play, including tanks. War with Limited Possibilities The first tanks sent to the White Guard, 20 French Renault FT-17s, arrived in Odessa on December 18th, 1918. They were followed by heavy Mark V tanks and medium Whippets (85 vehicles in total on all fronts). In theory, among all the chaos, two or three working tanks were a weapon that could defeat any enemy. In reality, tanks faced many problems. There was a lack of trained crews, so it was necessary to rely on British and French specialists. The first White Guard tankers were taught by foreign instructors. Several foreign volunteer units fought until 1920, but after that, only Russians kept fighting in tanks. The biggest obstacle was the vast size of the fronts. During the offensive of Petrograd by N. Yudenich's army in the fall of 1919, tanks had to go into battle up to three times per day. Over only four days, "Captain Kromi" traveled 160 kph, "Brown Bear" a little less at 155, and "First Aid" traveled 130. For early tanks, these were very long distances. They wore out both the mechanisms and the crews. There was no semblance of a normal supply line. In the chaos of the civil war, some tankers in the White Army, a rare and elite force, did not even have complete uniforms. One of them recalls: "I arrived at the tank battalion and received my clothing: a sailor's shirt, torn in many places, black pants in terrible condition, and a pair of boots with no soles. I had no cap, no socks, no underwear." Later, the English gifted him a fresh uniform. Unlike their tank crews, Russian crews did not receive a salary, had poor rations, and could not buy tobacco. Fuel had to be transported by horse carts. Tank Fist of the White Army Aside from obvious advantages, the appearance of tanks on the battlefield gave a psychological advantage. Even with heavy guns, the enemy did not know how to defeat moving armoured targets. Tank crews insisted that they took fire from 107 and even 220 mm guns, but the shells caused them no harm. "Cut through enemy obstructions, entered their trenches, and, despite a powerful artillery barrage, remained there for 25 minutes, allowing infantry to follow with no losses" was a typical excerpt from a tank commander's award order at the time. The first tank attacks appeared unstoppable, despite their crude tactics. Loud tank engines gave away their location and cooperation with infantry and aircraft was questionable, but tanks achieved victory after victory. With his tanks, Denikin conquered Tsaritsin and the Donbass. Red infantry still had no anti-tank weapons. Regular bullets bounced off armour. At most, bits of paint and metal that flaked off the inside scratched the tankers' faces and hands. Methods for anti-tank combat became more and more desirable. A vehicle knocked out by G. Briedres' Latvian gun battery was showed off in Petrograd as evidence that tanks were vulnerable. By 1920, tactics of White tanks improved significantly. In Wrangel's push out of Crimea, tank units used concealment tactics, were equipped with trucks and motorcycles, and even had an electric generator and a medical unit. Cooperation with sappers and artillery was set up, as well as regular technical service for the vehicles. As a result, the Red front failed, and Wrangel broke through into Northern Tavriya. A record of a battle at the Preobrazhenka farmstead describes how cavalry and artillery tried to destroy a tank. Cavalrymen dismounted, and hid among tree lines with grenades and machineguns. At first they threw grenades from a large distance, then from thirty paces, with little effect. The tank was not affected by rifle or machinegun fire. One of the Red Armymen walked in the tank's dead zone, knocking on the armour with a grenade, then climbed up on top, but was wounded by an explosion of his own grenade. Horse-drawn gun batteries went into action. In theory, the batteries were supposed to line up in a semicircle and shoot up the tank from the sides. However, fire from one thousand paces was imprecise, so one battery moved up to 500 paces. The tank was knocked out by fire from two batteries, but was then towed away by a second one. Red Triumph at Kakhov The culmination of tank use in the civil war happened at the Kakhov foothold on October 14th, 1920. The White offensive under Wrangel's command lined up according to best tactical practices and had a fair chance at success. In the early morning, artillery thundered, and 12 tanks attacked the Red positions with horsedrawn artillery, armoured cars, and infantry. In an advantageous position, the Whites made several mistakes. They attacked 2.5 hours before dawn. Tanks could not see each other and had to fight individually. Artillery and aircraft could not offer timely support, and White infantry was preoccupied with Red infantry and was unable to help out its tanks. Red Armymen were wisened by experience from previous attacks and came prepared. The foothold was reinforced with three lines of trenches, anti-tank ditches, mines, and even flamethrowers. Armoured cars armed with cannons were pulled up to the front. Red artillery knew how to fight tanks by this point. Special "dagger" batteries were used, firing from short distances. The result was the capture of five tanks. Wrangel's forces were defeated, and his army lost all hope for a successful offensive. Article author: Evgeniy Belash

Can you do that while shotgunning the other arty on the move as well? That is why I post them. That new arty medal was gained because their gw-e100 at the start was an idiot and didn't listen to 6th sense telling him he was spotted. So I shot him once I got my clip in. Then went on a tear at the end trying to carry my retarded team to victory. I made one poo poo mistake at the end that gave them a draw instead. But the end result was me hunting down both of their arty while using the mobility to keep away from the other tanks remaining. 4-5k is usually where I top out in damage dealt in any of my arty. By the time you have done 4-5k, the battle is pretty well decided.
