Well then apparently in game reporting works? Or possibly WGA didn't like me reporting [1488] since they have a known kinship with literal Nazis.

If they bitch about it, just say that PANSY is full of Buddhist/Hindu GLAD members. Hell, I'll take a photo of myself in front of a Buddhist shrine to prove the point if that's what it takes (or the local government office that's rocking a huge yellow swastika).

What is the attraction with racists and WoT? I have never seen a game that attracts the amount of outright racists and Nazi sympathizers as WoT does. If I did'nt know any better I would have thought WG NA held a recruitment drive on StormFront.

It isn't just the stupid goons who visit the cesspool that is the NA forums. WGA really does support either the Nazi ideology or at best develops an environment for neonazi groups.

Sgt Grunt being a Nazi sympathizer was better since at least he was out in the open.

Let's take a look at the pros and cons of rushing a flank with a heavy tank.

Pro:




Literally nobody seems to be able to handle an enemy tank coming from behind their lines, so you roll up the entire flank on your own.

Con:




You do pretty much the same thing, except this time you weren't fast enough to prevent your entire team from dying and you didn't have any decent players on the other flank. So now you're stuck at the end of the map, your only remaining ally lingering at the middle and two enemy heavies capping your base.

C'est la vie.

While playing this I was very close to just shouting STOP SHOOTING THE HULLDOWN IS-7 YOU SPASTICS at the screen, but then I remembered you should never look a gift pubbie in the mouth.

I mean, we complain a lot about pubbies not wanting to click tanks, but sometimes they really do, it's just that they're really loving awful at it.

How much free exp should I spend to get out of the M12 or conversely is the M40/43 a lot better than the M12? Oddly enough I kinda like my french arty because its a go fast arty, so I don't mind grinding it.

EDIT: I made a video showing off some of the mods available in OMC modpack, to give people an idea of how they work in game.

Even before 9.6 the ARL 44 was best with the 105mm with APCR and never aiming or stopping. The gun handling is so awful on all the guns you'd be best off snapshotting constantly and getting out many more shots than if you tried to aim that poo poo. Now with snapshotting being incredible the ARL 44 (and the M4 45 I suppose) it seems like a good time to go wild with entirely unaimed shots.

Agreed, spall liners are only useful for protecting crew. They are effectively worthless for protecting against HE damage, and they aren't worth it just for ramming damage protection.

Depends entirely on how you feel about trying to redeem a truly awful tank by firing 100% gold out the 105.

Good gun and mobility but made out of paper. AMX M4 can be good if you think of it as a big medium.

Edit: I used the 90 mm because I am a cheap rear end who rarely uses gold but still enjoy penetrating everything.

In my experience, the top 90mm on the M4 45 bounces way more often than the raw pen would seem to imply. The low caliber makes it susceptible to autobounces on awkward angles of relatively thin armor.

The 1945 is an average tier 7. If you're used to T29 class performance before grinding through it, you'll wanna kill yourself of course.
Or you use the 105mm gold cannon as previously mentioned.

The IS is pretty fast and has a huge boom, the T29 has a good gun that handles well plus that really loving strong turret, and the Tiger is king poo poo of DPM mountain and has a huge HP pool. There's nothing average about the M4 45, it's down there with the Black Prince in the "shameful T7 heavies" corner.

I don't have the replay, but I had a tier 6 match in Ensk where a T1 Heavy sat in the southern bushes for the entire map. When I asked what the gently caress he was doing as the east side was getting butfucked, he informed me that he only had one hand and was doing the best he could. :allears:

I ran the top 90 on the arl 45 and played it like a fat t20. Seemed to work reasonably well. If I could afford to shoot all the gold the 105 was solid on it, but the 90 forced me to conserve hit points better and allowed for more standoffish engagements which meant you could pop up fire and then duck the shot.

Well, tier 6 have been heavily rebalanced so there is no clear winner.
For pubstomping 6s with regular MM I guess you can't go wrong with Cromwell, A-43, T-34-85, M6, KV-2 or the SU-100.

Also, I gave in and got the AMX CDC.
First impression:
Tier 8 Cromwell :getin:
