Just go ghetto off tens so they can suck in peace, I'm done spending weeks getting new tens for actual fun game modes.

As it is, the game is far more forgiving at t6-8 than it is at t1-4, which is insane.

The hosed up thing is that with all of the on track events + bonus XP missions and events the grind is probably a lot better than at launch.

The try hards at T1 and T2 is actually quite an astounding phenomenon. It is like they just want to find out which tank is OP at the start of trees and just CRUSH MAD NEWBS. That really does not happen to much at higher tiers with out a certain degree of skill*. The game is such a weird experiment that got super popular super quick, and the devs seem to be struggling keeping up with the changes that they need to be doing. *Not always true

Missing Name posted:The loving T18. ^ It seriously is the bane of lower games. When I try to do dailies in some of my low tiers it is really amazing the amount of frustration lowbies express for this tank. I can feel their pain to, trying to get into this game is loving awful. Learning curve can be quite steep and the amount of GOOD information about this game is rather limited.

You could go a long way toward fixing things by eliminating one-shots from any tier. Derp guns are dumb and bad for the game at lower tiers, and arty oneshots are dumb and bad for the game at higher tiers. Just adjust alphas for HE penetrating shells to be relative to the receiving tank's total HP. You can fix a shitload of whining by just doing that, and I don't think anyone will cry for arty or lovely sealclubbers.

In Russia, bragging about army service is akin to bragging about having a high school diploma or a driver's license. The only people waving that around as a badge of honour are dumb teenagers and people that peaked as dumb teenagers.

BadLlama posted:If the M1 Abrams isn't gods chosen tank in that game then gently caress that game You're gonna get tank spergs on your rear end if you just call it "M1 Abrams", as the M1 Abrams is armed with the 105mm L7 and is significantly less advanced in terms of armor and sensors than current Abrams and Leopard 2 types. Also, Leopard 2 best tank.

I said something to the tune of "being a fake marine on the internet is the only thing dumber than being a real marine" to a guy, and he went off on the whole "YOU'RE ONLY ALIVE BECAUSE OF MY SACRIFICE" bullshit. I told him his sacrifice had nothing to do with me, and he was genuinely confused that there were people that the Marines don't fight for, to the point of asking me verbatim "you live in the country, don't you" as if there was only one country.
