Yeah the 125k exp for the mission this weekend is going to be really easy to get. I'm 3 wins in and already more than 10% of the way there. One of the wins was pretty ugly.

Anyone know if the On Track exp bonus contributes to the exp total for the weekend mission? I bet it does. I have a bunch of tanks that qualify for the On Track 1.25x bonus. :getin:

Gonna get me a T14. That's probably the least lovely reward tank, right? I don't have any of the reward tanks, so I can't get gold.

ASK ME ABOUT MY RADLEY-WALTERS' MEDAL

Is that medal for being the most intolerable poster in a thread about Warhammer 40.000 novels? Because if it is, you sure blew the competition out of the water, son.
So I got some trash talk from a "former" bot that decided to start playing his tanks once he hit tier ten. Sorry bud, you can't show up with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter then be sad and claim you're a champ.

You know, I really expected the LeoPTA to be absolutely horrible, but it's actually pretty good despite having characteristics that I typically consider to be absolutely worthless (no armor and really subpar gun depression). I mean, any medium tank reliable enough to let you sneak behind enemy lines, kill their arty and then finish off the survivors is pretty decent imho.

With the improvements on the MT-25, I really wish they had given it a better gun. To at least it bring it inline with other similar tier tanks. The autocannon is kinda funny though.

If you don't understand how that tumour would be hell in hull down positions then I don't know what to say. It will literally appear before any part of your tank.

I just bought it tonight to work on getting a Ru251, and that convert XP button is really tempting. Same with jumping to the LTTB, but I think the MT-25 and I can work something out. It at least feels like a T-50-2 enough that I can amuse myself playing Tony Hawk's Pro Tanker.

The turret is already near auto-bounce angles, and it's thick enough that you need 160mm shells to overmatch. The tumor is bad. Still, Leopards are point and click pens, whereas you have to try to aim with the 30b

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
It's not going to be as bad as the Type 61. gently caress that tank, powergrinding that tank and the missions were the one-two punch to kill the game for me.

Type 61 has a larger tumour with a weaker turret and really, really lovely camo. The tumour acts more as a dinner bell than an actual weak point though, it gets spotted first and everyone know to shoot in that direction in two seconds to autopen your turret. The 30B has a shorter tumour with a turret which might be deceptively bouncy. It should also have respectable, even if below average, camo that the 61 doesn't have.

The 61 was also particularly insulting because the accuracy was poo poo so after being penned in the turret twice your shell would miss. 30B has better gun handling, aim time, and matches everything but the waffle for accuracy. Without more final stats it's hard to say, but I might actually come back and grind it out, and get a girl crew for it.

I knew of the reload timer mod, but I've never seen that shadow one before. And they're apparently both legal on NA at the moment? Who's got links? Hell, they'll probably show up in OMC ModPack now because of this.

Prav posted:

If we've successfully identified a bunch of tanks as too bad, why not just buff them instead?

That could work too, although probably better for some tanks than others. It'd be easy to buff the RoF/DPM on something like the Valentine, which otherwise has a decent gun and armor. For other tanks, it would be more difficult to do if buffing them required making it less historically accurate, like adding a gun or finding a "new" higher-pen shell. The 13 75, for example: they'd have to over-buff pretty much everything about it, OR add a "new" gun between the 75 & 90 mm ones. AMX M4 45: add more armor? T28 Proto: Uh, add a newly discovered 2000 hp engine and increase the top speed?

He really lets them have it:

"stupis fing tushers"

"you fing weak fuc ups learn how to play it and stop wasting the teams time"

He complains that some people tell him to uninstall the game, but he says he's not going to do that. He loves the game, he loves World of Tanks. Some people pay for the game to get special shells. The problem is stupid people waste their time, not taking the game seriously. He encourages more people to take the game seriously and to not waste other people's time by playing poorly.

He obviously not a bright guy. He's a terrible player. His videos are awful, so awful that they become good. Something about him is endearing, at least to me. I enjoy watching his videos despite how bad they are. I check in on his channel from time to time to see if he's uploaded anything new.

It was never planned for 9.7, it's coming some time this year. Probably. It's not even feature complete yet; apparently tank collisions need more work. Right now they're pretty comical since you bounce off of each other like the tanks were rubber.
