NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
This is the ticket I sent in:

quote:

Category:

World of Tanks

Sub-category:

Rule Violations

There is a clan named [1488] Lynch Squad. They're straight-up neonazis. Link to clan page:

http://na.wargaming.net/clans/1000019755/

Ways in which their clan is appropriate:

1) Their clan emblem is a modified Confederate flag, a well known symbol of US Southern segregationists and racists of all stripes. 

2) Their clan name is Lynch Squad. Lynching is the term for the whites in the US murdering blacks in a campaign of terror. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching

3) Their clan tag is [1488], a reference to the Fourteen Words, with the 88 referring to Heil Hitler - H is the eighth letter, so Heil Hitler = HH = 88. They're literally quoting Hitler, which is the biggest possible indicator that this clan is promoting Nazism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words

4) Their clan motto is a rephrasing of the Fourteen Words. Their motto: "We must secure the existence of our commanders and a future for light tanks." Hitler's Words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children"

Please do not allow neonazis to proliferate on the NA server. Nazism is unacceptable. This is not a misunderstanding or an accident - they are deliberately putting out Nazi propaganda.

They haven't even had to change their name from loving Lynch Squad.

I understand why the game has a ton of terrible players even if it saddens me when they make a conscious effort to avoid improving. I also understand why this game attracts Nazis. Their money is just as good as anyone else's. I just don't get why they allow neonazis to espouse their propaganda other than WGA holds those same views.

I think you'll find 1488 is actually a clan dedicated to the memory of King James IV of Scotland, the flag a reference to his successful rebellion in that year; the lynching refers to the death of his father and predecessor James III after the battle of Sauchieburn

I biggest issue for the t9 lorraine is the bulk. There is a reason I talk about it as a t9 50 100. Some soft stats are improved over the 50 100, sure. But not enough for the difference in tier. And certainly not enough to make up for the bulk it has while seeing t10s on a pretty regular basis. I do love enemy lorraines though. The gun isn't stable enough to be shooting on the move, so they sit still letting me aim in for full pen shots in my bat 155 58.

Eh, like that is new.
The AMX 40 is followed by the ELC, Slugger to T25 AT to T28, Tortoise to FV183, the TigerP to VK4502A to VK4502B.
Are there actually any line that is fully consistent in play style throughout the line?

Yes, any arty line besides the russians. There is a progressive jump in firepower at each tier. The most consistent of it is the american line. The others wallow with a mirror gun gun from the previous tier (tier bishop->304). Or end gun early (gw tigerp->gw-e100, though fire rate/accuracy improves).

So the NA mission is grind 125k with 3xs, choose the T14/Matilda 4 (whichever you own already) for the gold, and then next time there's a sale buy all the other premiums? Sweet.

According to the surprisingly competent HBFT:

Premium Account bonuses and the x3 multiplier will count towards the 125,000 XP.   

So about forty battles across the weekend, and we can play tier threes and actually have fun? Good times.

Hahahaha the NA forums scum are whining that 125k xp on a 3x weekend is too hard for 1500 gold. I could do that in by just getting the 3x on like ten tanks. Some dude is complaining because averaging 1500 xp on a 3x is too hard for most players.

The sad thing is he's probably right.

Getting 3xs on ten tanks, three times (once per day of the event) is easy. A 4k 3x isn't that hard, and including xp from losses should be enough for the event.

This mission is something anyone can do with a minimum of time invested. You don't need a million tanks, you aren't forced to play each nation or tier six+ or any other nonsense, just play tanks you like for the weekend and 125k xp is easy.

Yeah, but I tossed it since the t10 isn't anything like the spgs in the line leading up to it other than limiting horizontal traverse.

The sexton is the worst premium. Yes, worse than the premium Matildas. Yes, worse than the M3 LL. Yes, even worse than the T1E6, a tank that is worse than every tier one and sees tier threes.

I don't know if the Sexton is less pleasant than the Churchill GC, but if it is, then it is the worst tank.

Good god, no. I bought mine when it was 50% off and when I saw it couldn't even reliably damage a Churchill III when it hit it on the engine deck I vowed never to play it again. If you don't want a T14, the best bet in the list of given tanks is the Locust since there are now US light tanks worth keeping over the long run.

Ah- Smug Mode.

Sexton is the only premium I have ever sold. I am an inveterate arty player and I just loving hated it.

I will probably go for the gold. I have a T14 already. Don't really love it, but I have a ridiculously high win rate it in. Pubbies can't pen it for poo poo.

Since you have the Matilda, do the mission that gives you the matilda. BAM you get 1500 gold. Now spend 900 of that to buy the Locust. And then spend the 600 remaining gold on whatever!

(Or, as Hellsau said, wait for a sale and spend even less on getting the Locust! If you even want it.)
