I heard if you get that one premium battleship with the fast firing gun batteries, you can just double tap R and sail full steam towards the enemy fleet while holding the fire button down.

Next time on Missing Name's Boatsperg Hour, I'll discuss the differences in battlecruiser doctrine between the Germans and British in the years leading up to WWI, during, and afterwards, up until WWII.

Mainly them because no one else really built battlecruisers in the numbers they did.

I am having a tough time finding maneuverable lights past certain tiers. I just bought the French AMX 13 75 and it is a slow piece of hot turd. Can anyone recommend some decently quick lights with good view and/or radio past tier 6 which are also super speedy?

MT-25, LTTB, Ru 251 (turns like rear end though). WZ-131 or 132 if you want excellent passability and turning at the cost of raw hp/t.

Also note that the 13 90, Lorraine and BC are all faster than the 13 75, although none of them are super-fast except maybe in a straight line.

I remember when the 1390 used to turn on a dime. :negative:

I will also never be not pissed about pubbies whining loud enough for WG to get rid of Dragon Ridge; one of the most non-linear maps ever. To this day the most nail biting matches I've had were all on Dragon Ridge. Now every map is 3 lanes bullshit and I hate it.

Why did so many people cry about Dragon Ridge anyway?

In 1943, Scania-Vabis (today better known as just Scania - they manufacture trucks and other such things) proposed an upgrade of the license-built Czech TNH (aka. Pz. 38(t)), using these wooden models:




This is the same model today:



Apparently it's been sitting in some storage shed at Scania's plant in Södertälje for the last 70 odd years. I'm amazed it has survived since it never went any further than a proposal.

The big gun is where the S-51 really excels. Sure it takes longer to load and is a little less accurate, but the result is devastating when it hits. Get used to it, it's going to be your gun for the next little while.

A premium stock Caern sounds about the worst thing ever developed. Unless its tier 7.

The Brit tree is a weird, at this point their heavies are out gunned at almost every tier.

The MT-25's comedy cannon is hilarious if you catch the right target with it. That thing spits out a loving insane amount of damage. If its not one of those, I guess you can annoy the poo poo out of people, but that reload time is a huge bummer.

Does anyone remember the name of the mod that makes the auto-aim snap on area larger?

I hate Cliff because the games are never competitive. One team has more worthless shitbirds camping the west corner, that do fuckall while their team either wins or loses center/east and then they either do no damage or are surrounded and get some pity damage at the end.

Someone please decipher this for me. I swear he is trying to tell something to me in code.

quote:

Go play arty these days in WoT, mid tiers, before the real bullshit splash machines start (i.e. tier 5-7, though low tiers are even worse). It's next to worthless due to the sheer RNG and the lack of splash. The whiners nerf it to get MORE RNG and LESS skill. FFS if it was a laser with 5 second flight time, that's punishing campers or just leading you perfectly with mad skillz, but then the alpha would need to be drastically cut because unicums need to be able to permanently hug their corners or can't stand you out-skilling them by leading them perfectly at 700 meters. Instead they constantly make it less accurate, and then complain about how it's no-skill RNGesus... they made it that way with whining. I swear the unicums are less rational than Repugnicans... #47Traitors (contacting a foreign government to tell them that your government will not hold to its agreements = treasonous by common sense)
