I stopped played this tank for ages as I simply didn't find it fun, but I brought it out, along with the 183 b, for the missions and oh my word, it's one of the greatest troll tanks going if you give no fucks about doing anything other than clipping things. The 183 b insta-blapping stuff also never gets old , people seriously get OUTRAGED when they get one shot or clipped. Special mention also needs to go to the 216 and the CGC, coupled with the side view arty mod for also causing mass rage. I actually managed to put a AP shell through a window twice with the 216, into the front of a Centurion. The guy nearly had a meltdown. Also capping stuff. "NO CAP KILL ALL". Yeah, no, sunshine, I need my cap fast mission. Missions are the best trolls and have made this game so much more fun for me.* *Does not include retarded Light and Medium missions.

I'd probably put him there, and put Mao at third worst. The Communists and Nationalists had a pact not to backstab each other while fighting the Japanese. One adhered to it, the other used it as a great opportunity to spread propaganda and inflate their successes. One fought the Japanese hard and was weakened for it, the other not so much. There's a school of thought that the Communists fumbled into power despite their best efforts. Apparently the Nationalists fumbled more.

Bored at work decided to compare my stats against my clanmates (I am almost dead center of the skill curve) when I noticed Coylter has joined. Congrats on joining one of the strangest clans on the server! We will be sure to dazzle you with out frantic multiple player battle calling, titty gifs and air horns. Also, the CDC is coming up as the T57 arty on wotlabs and ??? on noobmeter.

VVVVVedit: I'm a loving retard. I was looking at my own number of games in that tank.  Still ~60% in the IS-6 and T29 is nothing to sneeze at.

59% in the T-34-85 (49 games) the sample size is too small. I played the tank until I unlocked the T-43 then sold it. 100% in the Excelsior (9 games) just used as a reference to show how a small sample size can screw up stats. You should really only start to paying attention to individual tank win rates after 100 games in the tank.

Win rate is important, but having good stats means you are doing your part on a team (which is more important and shows that you are getting better at the game).

I just want to get to the point where I am able to get into some of the clans for the reward tanks, but would like to be with other goons. I want to play in a goon clan too, but sadly Chair died and with that the horn of Goondor was shattered. If you look at the clans I were in it goes like this: Burn Eden (friends clan made of mostly EVE players, had Luci (one of the founders of OTTER) and Sov13t (really awesome player who showed me the ropes) in it. Go figure.), SDP (because Chair wanted me to "improve their battle skills"), NDP (SDP was being run by Brazilians, Chair died, Casca and Anderson were desperate for decent players so I was merged into NDP), CRABS (  MACDIESELBESTPLAYER/CALLER/LOVEMAKER_NA) and finally OTTER (Primelaw, one of the best battle buddies). You can always platoon with goons while being in other clans. That is what the goon channel is for. There is no shame in joining a different clan.

Today I saw the most disgusting display of pubbie cowardice I have seen yet. The game is down to a T95, Obj263, and Maus on my team, all with more than 50% health, while the enemy team only had an IS7 with less than 400hp, a one-shottable T32 and IS6 (remnant of a fail platoon.) My pubbies decided to hide from these three tanks and let the game draw while hurling insults on chat to everyone who kept calling them cowards.

You would have a much easier time trolling about MacArthur, Churchill or Patton than you would about any chinese/japanese/korean leader. Most people in Europe/North America don't know jack poo poo about other cultures, so it'd be irrelevent. You can always try one of these lines instead: If Churchill hadn't been such a drunk, Hitler's armies would never have made it out of Germany. Patton was a coward and its why he liked commanding tanks. A few ton of heavy steel around him is the only way he ever felt safe. Or my Favorite: The only thing MacArthur ever said that made sense, was that he should nuke China.

kemikalkadet posted:Did anyone else get into the WoT Generals beta? Just checked my emails and I got an invite today. Looks pretty bad but idk i've never played card games before. Yes, I started playing today, it seems ok. I played through the short tutorial which consists of a training battle explaining the card types, a battle against the AI, and then 2 PVP battles. It then grants you access to upgrades, reasearch, deck modifications, ect. Not really a traditional CCG, there is a research tree similar to World of Tanks you reaserch and then purchase cards to put in your deck. The gameplay itself plays more like a turn based strategy game than any card games I have played. So far the only payed elements are premium cards that do not seem overpowered, and premium accounts. I'd say it's worth playing a few matches to see if you like it.

Neither of them *matter* obv but win rate is a really, really lovely metric outside the obvious '47% = bad player ' It's been argued to death but the two months I ran that parser that tracks solo vs platooned w/r I was at something like 61% vs 77%. If I enough to platoon every single game my win rate would be way higher but I wouldn't magically be a better player. Of course it isn't like there's any reasonable demarcations of skill in this lovely game anyway beyond ' isn't complete fuckup'

In the end, it's the only stat that really matters. Especially in light of lovely WN incarnations which have subjective goals and parameters and probably hidden agendas in the Wotlab circle jerk culture.

WN8 is garbage. I was averaging over 3000 WN8 in the MT-25 using the comedy machine gun and suicide scouting for missions. Needing to deal like 700 damage to go over 3k WN8 is laughable. God drat though that comedy machine gun is fun as hell. BAPBAPBAP.

True skill is an obsessive knowledge of which tanks you don't have to do much in and a willingness to grind them obsessively to make a number bigger. Only scrubs think skill is just playing well and winning.

Hit five out of six for damage, two low roll killshots, walk away with 2500 wn8. Then again, I guess it's that way because a lot of players can't manage even a single shot and just run into the nearest JPE.

Even with 2500ish damage in the T-54 you can get to 2k+WN8. This is less an indictment of WN8 and more a plainfaced indication of the sorry state of pubbie talent these days.

Yet if you play artillery at all you get hosed. Even your 4000 damage games give you barely adequate WN8, and any blowout games one way or the other and you don't get to take advantage of it. We need to go back to WN7.
