I am torn between keeping the M48 Patton or selling it to fund the E-100. It sucks to lose 3.5m credits and 30g for the equipment removal, but the tank really is not any better than the kickass M46.

You had a guy from vets, a clan of bads. Then again, your team somehow failed to kill a usmc which is another bad clan. Judging from his damage of zero, he either was afk botting or hanging out in some pointless place and was got off on the rest of his team being more functional.

Welp fortunately I already did the 125k mission because I just got a ban for 3 shot team killing a T-150 who camped spawn doing nothing, and then as soon as the enemy pushed our spawn drove away in the opposite direction leaving me alone there. Was worth it. The useless gently caress didn't even have to shoot straight, all I needed him to do was be there and get shot at and my Achilles could have taken both damaged IS tanks and at least hurt the T-34-1, but no.

You guys can say whatever you want about the sexton, but the STA-2 is the worst premium in the game all things considered. It has absolutely nothing going for it. I like how it's supposed to be balanced with the CDC. I'm averaging 700 damage per game lower than the CDC in it, and I sort of doubt I'm going to play if any more tbh. It's a worthless tank

Get shot in the gun by a 152mm shell 3 times, then have a MT25 with the autocannon magdump in your frontplate. Only way I can see this work.

I have several Steel Walls in my FCM 50t. That gun mantlet block is barely larger than the diameter of the gun itself, but it will bounce shots. It seems that autoaim puts lazy pubbie shots right on the only place that in any possible scenario can bounce a shot.

It's easy to do badly in it (thin armor, low alpha), but if you're very good it can be rewarding (excellent turret shape, good gun depression, and IIRC decent pen/precision/dps; fairly mobile).

Hello I found a great way to get better at tanks to be honest and wanted to share it with my goonfriends :^). So when I look back at my no doubt very informative and eye opening posts in here I realised that I forgot to mention one crucial thing that makes you a gooder tanker. Your nutrition! You know how tanks only work when they're really well maintained and greased and lubed ? You have to become the grease to maintain a positive WR and triple unicumlette stats. I suggest starting with a diet that contains no water (water is really unhealthy if you think about it...like most of our body is made of it..so why drink more tbh ?) So I melt butter and put insta gravy in it and mix mountain dew in too...this gives you the vitamins from the gravy...the animal protein from the butter AND the electrolytes from the mountain dew. This is really a good diet and I think even the pro athletes in the National Eating League actually use this diet to get really fit. So please share your own experience here :^) I have basically become a gooder tanker running this diet for 4 months. My doctor says I'm really healthy except for mortal obesity and diabetes...but then I just tell him my tank stats and he's speechless....take that you white wearing penny pincher ! Logics > health care tbh

Alright if we're going to start sharing health tips, here's a great diet : the baguette diet. Since the dawn of mankind, and more importantly the dawn of France (the only country that matters), people have been left in awe by all the great things France brought to the world. You might even be enjoying some of these right now, as the internet (le internet de cul), beer (la bière de cul), sex (le sexy honhonhon petite demoiselle n'est-ce pas), diabetes (la maladie du gros cul honhon) and even tanks (le tanque de cul) are all the product of french genius. But beyond simply being an entirely superior people because of their wonderful and perfect genetics and upbringing, the french also rely on their miracle diet to continually amaze and lead the world to a brighter future. Today, I will share with you this secret, or at least what I can disclose without getting murdered by the french illuminatis (les illuminatis du cul). First of, baguettes have the perfect shape to enhance any sort of meal. They can enhance from the most humble sandwich (la sorcière de sable) to the elaborate bag of doritos (les petits triangles oranges dégueulasses), just by making the meal more convenient to ingest thanks to their oblong shape. After all if the phallic shape wasn't the easiest of them all to stuff down one's mouth, your mom would have a lot of trouble gargling about 2 miles of dicks (trois kilomètres de queue) every night like the little hungry cockslut she is (la petite salope affamée de teub). Secondly, baguettes are made from wheat, and wheat is hella healthy, because the two words share a lot of letters. They also have a lot of the useful carbs that you need to burn to keep a good tank k/d:ratio, fibers to poop nice solid turds on pubbies, and tasty crust. Thirdly, and this is maybe the secret to french might and intellect, they can absorb the very essence of, the very soul of everything around them thanks to their tasty, soft, fluffly crumb will absorb every good thing around them (wealth, strength, health, frenchness...) while leaving the bad things (poverty, bad stats, norwegians) aside like some sort of sentient sponge. Then, once you ingest the baguette, all those good things will flow into you and your winrate will skyrocket, your dick will gain a few inches (about 7, to bring it to the french average), women will find your pube-like neckbeard extremely attractive, and disgusting pubbies will start paying you to teach them how to play. To conclude, baguettes are the number one (numero un) source of good things, and if you eat enough, one day you might even be almost as good as a frenchman.

MoraleHazard posted:Is the Comet the "good player" tank? Agrajag got over 2400 in damage and 4 kills and only got 2nd class mastery. Personally, I found it so-so. It's a Cromwell one tier higher that trades some speed for a turret glacis that might at times bounce a shot. It's a nice allrounder , but there's no real outstanding strenghts except good soft stats on the gun. And that same 17-pdr has kinda anemic alpha damage at tier 7. It was kind of a low point in the british med line for me, though not nearly as much of a living hell as the stock Centurion at tier 8. (Through the entirety of the british medium and heavy lines, I've found nothing as painful as the stock Centurion Mk.1. That thing has meh mobility, puny alpha and pen and no armor in the hull or turret. It's a real revelation how that tank changes with the upgraded non-squishy turret, the 20-pounder and the final engine that leaves you still kinda slow for a med, but gives you some great accelleration and performance over rough ground and up hills.)

Low alpha, high DPM tanks have an interesting thing going for them. Namely that shitters respond to big noises, not little ones. You'll constantly be finding yourself amazed that some shithead idiot doesn't even turn his turret towards you or retreat in any way after you've pumped 10 rounds into his rear end. It adds up quickly. It's one of the reasons I really like the Easy 8 and prefer the M1A2 over the 105mm.

WG does not seem to realize that the demographics on the North America server is probably different from EU/RU. And in order to retain new players and whales they probably have to adjust something about the rewards to appeal to more people, if they want to do that. I'm really pulling this poo poo out of my rear end but I do notice that a lot more people play when the loss of credits are offset by mission specials that are super forgiving. How many of those are new players? I don't have a loving clue. I personally think WG has to admit that the North America server is a lot more casual and adjust to that kind of demographic.

Having players start with Shermans/etc and having the option of researching backwards would be neat. T4 and T3 would probably be 100% unplayable though.
