maev posted:I saw a quickybaby video where he said the 112 was a better is-6. I'm not taking his word as gospel or anything but why is he wrong? 112 has a really, really, really good upper front plate. Probably the best in tier 8. The lower hull is 76mm and has a fuel tank. The 112 has a pretty good turret, better than the IS-6. It has really huge cupolas that are easy to hit. It gets 250mm HEAT, which is less reliable than 217 APCR with a gun with that poor accuracy, and will still struggle frontally against really tough tier 9 targets (especially if you need weak spots to get through them). So 112 has a really great frontal aspect against targets it can easily pen with AP, but so does the IS-6. There's little reason to get one.

Some good news on that front:SR posted:-The worst (least successful with most corridors) maps will be removed from the game. Currently, following maps are reviewed for that purpose: Hidden Village, Sacred Valley, South Coast and North-West It's a start, if nothing else.

And about the silver nerd : Devs want to create more butthurt then there already is about premium ammo  fun times ahead

CitizenKain posted:Hellsau, I want to say thank you for recommending the comedy 37mm autocannon on the MT-25. When it works, its so incredibly satisfying to just grind some poor idiot to dust. Really burns through the money though firing APCR out of it though. It's not a tank to make credits in. It's a tank to gently caress over Rhoombas.

   I am not a good enough player to make money (or break even) on the E 100, nor am I good enough to consistently tank/deal that kind of damage in any heavy. Pretty much the only way I am going to break the 8k limit for damage dealt/bounced/absorbed is when my team melts around me and the enemy can't aim, like this match. e: For context, this match was basically lost from the start. Our team didn't fully commit to hill, so the guys who went up got slaughtered while the rest kind of milled about aimlessly. By the time I'd reached the village about half our tanks were out of action either dead or simply too badly out of position to relocate and do anything useful. The entire match after the first two minutes was basically myself and 3-4 other tanks holding village against light pressure while the rest of our team crumbled. I can't read and the little dialogue box didn't open. rossmum fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Mar 15, 2015 |

Honestly, the E-75/ST-1/VK4502B are safer bets for that mission, since you can end up in games where you are one of few tier9 tanks. Here is my HT-15 game, where I just bounced a bunch of tier8 shots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0jYc2AWnro

Yeah it's a secondary, but you want to get the secondary in the last mission of each class since they give you an extra tank token thing. If you get them all you can skip an entire class of tanks missions.

I'm not too worried about skipping classes, since I want the full number of available crew anyway.

Haha, I am not playing the missions in arty in order to get one more crew. gently caress that. Bad enough I have to platoon with the things to get the LT missions done. v v v Maybe so, but I would be contributing to there being more arty in battles.

The arty missions (at least the first set) are actually not too bad, and probably easier than the light missions are - and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't own an SPG above tier 6.

The next ones are literally impossible without going at least into tier 7 due to splashing multiple tanks and high base damage requirements. The third tier might as well not even exist. I mean yeah the first ones are fine since AMX 105, leFH, and M12 are good enough to do them all, but the future ones are just laughable unless you're rigging them, let's rig the missions y'all. e: oh poo poo also NA gets on track to the FV4202 if you wanna get that in preparation for whatever they're doing to the 4202 in the future (other than nerfing the worst tier ten medium).

I doubt I'll ever get better than being a coin-flipper. As much as I like this game I'm just not the sort of person who likes reading about maps, reading and then rereading guides, and memorizing the stats and weakspots on every tank. I'll probably try for the FC4204 mission but it'll undoubtedly be a nightmare of brute forcing my way to whatever the objective is. On the plus side I'm only 110k away from unlcoking the Cent 7/1. That's only, what, 50 daily doubles?

You should definitely have manually reloaded when you killed the Luchs, though it didn't cost you any damage. Also turn off encounter, what are you doing, you're on West and you're playing with encounter turned on? Are you looking for completely non-competitive matches?

http://wotreplays.com/site/1710932#self Did 4k damage in a Panther on Redshire. Hump the middle hill and fire the needles of doom all game from max render range. I've been doing really well in this tank, surprisingly. I'm usually a brawler medium type but there's something serene about having so much pen and in a pinch manoeuvrability, I should be on course to unlocking the Panther 2 in around 60 games  .

I don't memorize exact stats, just generic things like high pen, high ROF, thick armour, etc. I don't memorize maps either, but then again I end up doing dumb poo poo like overextending too often.

Most tanks have generic weekpoints (commanders hatch, lfp, drivers hatch etc) and most guns in the countries lines are the same type (slow firing sledgehammers, high ROF low damage etc) so just know about them. The same for armour. Also most maps have three corridors or basic areas certain tanks can do well with. It's not alot to be able to do well. For example Redshire the centre hill and the east is the key, the road on the west is a shooting gallery if you controll the centre. Every other map has similar basic strats.

Found an extremely poor player in World of Tanks. http://wotlabs.net/na/player/SgtMeenderink I know what you're thinking - a bad player in World of Tanks? Impossible! But this is not a bot - he challenged me to a 1v1. I went in with my Comet against his Super P and killed him without taking a damage. We were on Mittengard. He has 1800 games in the Super P and a 41% winrate in it. He was playing the Super P because he was out of money. He has no tanks beyond tier 5. Guess his Super P's average damage: 0242

Steelion posted:T26E4 Super Pershing: 1852 games @ 41.31% Typical stat whore. Everyone knows statistics are random. Totally unrelated, I've been going in with these two lines- "Ban anyone with a winrate below 48% and more than 5 thousand battles. Literally holding W and holding left click on reds will get you 50%." "If you're below 50%, you've proven you don't want to actually play this tank game, so why should you be allowed to poo poo up the game for us?" I've been getting good results. Paul is an exception that proves the rule.

also needed to do the 'block more damage than your tank has HP' so I got out the trusty KV-4 I was worried starting out that people weren't shooting at me enough because my team mates don't know how to use corners properly so i fixed that by charging at the enemy blood red tier viii  nailed it.

My favorite heavy mission was the one where you had to ram an enemy to death. I tried the 50b a couple times but I kept getting into battles with the heaviest tier x heavy tanks so fast forward to the FCM and encounter redshire with my hill buddies dead and the enemies are 30 seconds from capping so I just say gently caress it and crest the hill and downhill smash a tier vi medium for 700 health and then from hits my ammo rack gets hosed but i still manage to ram the cap out of the STA while getting pummeled from three directions. I died pretty spectacularly but got the complete reset and my team managed to pull out a win that I wasn't expecting. Ramming is the purest form of tank combat and a little encouragement to recklessly smash into something soft is all I need. Mauser fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Mar 16, 2015 |

Those missions really do require you to drive an IS-7/E3/E-100, luck out and 1) get a map you can hide your lfp and not be totally exposed to side sniping 2) be on the side of the map the enemy lemmings 3) find lemmings competent enough to actually hit you while shooting and 4) find lemmings who just keep on shooting at you for 5+ minutes despite bouncing every shot. Miss any one of the 4 and you don't get the mission.
