Alright, time for some tanking, starting with the M41: Driving full speed, dude in a T49 nails me for 850 or so at 300m+, sets me on fire and breaks my ammo rack. I've got 3 hp left, an E3 finishes me off. T71 time: ammo rack damaged in first shot, I drive off, a Tortiose shooting HE hits my engine. Off to a great start. I hope the CDC hurries up and clicks with me, I've had a rough series of games in it. I just haven't gotten used to how fragile it is. I really is a giant hellcat that can be spotted from the moon. That really needs safe stowage, somehow a T37 can damage its ammo rack in single shot. CitizenKain fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Mar 10, 2015 |

At the start of a Sacred Valley match, I said this in allchat: "Please just push the north. The south is worthless - you don't get any good shots, and you cannot push the cap" Guess where the enemy team went? Spoilers. (Asked the M5 to move out of the way, he did not move, I got stuck on a wall a bit, and then he sassed me.)

There was some talk about making money selling accounts, is that actually a thing? The game is less and less fun. The tanks I enjoyed playing are less viable with all the artillery, unless I camp or stay in cover. Since my WIN8 has gone up, they focus on me and I don't get to do anything I enjoy. -edit- just a minute after posting this, I got two-shot by artillery in my STB-1 just seconds after being spotted in some corner of a map. -edit 2- the game is down to three artillery and a WT E-100 on my side, and four artillery, an FV, and a light tank on their side.

The best part about those missions is that you can't ever fire at anything yourself, every single bit of damage is something you can't spot anymore. Such a shame they lack anyone with a brain, they could have designed those missions to actually encourage good play.

Exactly. "Deal x amount of damage yourself or by spotting/tracking for teammates", voila, still highly light tank relevant without sabotaging the game. That's my main problem with the missions, ranking ahead of being highly MM, map and RNG dependant: Many of them don't encourage winning gameplay, and pubbies have a hard enough time as it is. I see a lot of people hiding in corners to get a "win and survive" done without risking their tank, a lot of people driving slow heavy tanks onto the cap when they know the enemy is sitting on a ridge and can shoot them (very prevalent on cliff right now if one side breaks through 1-2), and so on. The only positive aspect I've noticed is that light tank drivers tend to be somewhat less suicidal. Only approximately a third to half on any single team will yolo rush. srb fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Mar 10, 2015 |

Right now I'm really hating the heavy mission where you have to block 2x your hitpoints in damage and deal 1500 damage (for T28 concept). I can't get pubbies to shoot at me enough when they're bouncing off me, which seems odd. Do tracking shots count toward the damage blocked? It doesn't say that it does, but knowing wargaming, it probably does count. I also can't decide which of my tanks is best for the mission. I'm thinking KV-5 (if I get a map that lets me hide R2D2) or IS-7. I don't have an E-100 or I might try that, even though the hp is high.

It doesn't say that it does, but knowing wargaming, it probably does count. The KV-5 should be good for that in my experience. You need to bounce something like 3.5k damage which is feasible (since pubbies don't know where to shoot a KV-5) and dealing 1.5k damage is a piece of cake. Also, for some reason my KV-5 is currently my tank with the highest average XP. Otherwise a VK4502B should be feasible or a KV-1/220, although the latter run out of enemies kinda fast. T28 Concept is from tier5, right?

Yeah, T28C is tier five and up. I did that mission in the KV-220. Now I need to bounce 3x my HP, deal 2k damage, in a tier six or higher. How do you people get pubbies to bounce your KV-5 while hiding the R2D2? They just go straight through the turret face, the mantlet, or aim for the cupolas on top and accidentally pen the sloped armor near them. Angling the turret just gives them a flatter shot.

Are there any arty missions that have requirements like "kill a tank 2 tiers higher" ? I've been slacking so I am still on the second set of missions and can't check the last 2 sets.

You get in a match where you're top tier and have tier 6s shoot at you. Alternately, drive backwards. People rarely aim when they think they're shooting at your rear end.

By playing stupidly aggressive and always snap shooting, you know like the Hellsau way? In the KV-5 I typically angle my tank so I hide the right side which sort of hides the cupola. I also constantly move back and forward which causes a lot of bounces. The KV-5 also out-DPMs all other tier8 heavies and have good side armour so charging a tank and getting on his side works. But honestly, every match that I play in my KV-5 I am constantly amazed on how long I survive and how much I bounce.

Saint Celestine posted:Why arent you all using an E-100 for the damage blocked missions? Its so easy. Because bouncing 8100 damage is really hard because track shots don't count, and eventually they'll just start snapshotting the bar on top or shooting HE which doesn't count for the mission.

had a 180k credit game in my cdc (before taxes), would have made silly amounts with battle payments. Its an excellent moneymaker, however i'm quite liberal with my gold ammo in it, so i dont make as much as i could. its probably one of those tanks you can run fine without gold tbh. on the other hand, gently caress bouncing on tanks
