 2801 with he is way more fun now that it was before the heat nerf because you don't feel like a cheating piece of poo poo when you play it.

SoUncool posted:Anyone noticed that games lately have been hugely one-sided? It seems like every game is either a landslide win or a landslide loss. What's the point of a 15min match if they all end in 4min? I miss close matches. The average length of a WoT match is 5 minutes. The vast majority of games have always ended quickly (or became unwinnable) since most people that play this game are really bad at it.

Had a game yesterday where the enemy had three tier 5 battleships in a tier 5 game just sit behind the westernmost of the three objectives without trying to take it away from us, or try to kill the boats near it. They just sat and hid while we won by cap. Took longer, but the game was over four minutes before it actually ended. Fortunately I'm bad at boats so I don't care!

just started playing the game and im enjoying it more then I thought. the game put me off a while ago when I thought it was just snipers in tanks but playing a light tank and tearing through a urban map is very fun. can someone run down what the best light tanks are? right now im happily using the t1german light tank with three crew members with some good results. I got the ace badge on it and I've only been playing a few days.

The German Pz I Ausf. C is probably the most fun tank when it comes to driving at hilariously high speeds and shooting poo poo. It goes up to 79 kph on flat ground, handles very well, and runs a hilarious machinegun with a 40 round belt that reloads very quickly. I also had a lot of fun in the French AMX 13 90, but that's a fairly advanced tank and definitely not for everyone, and it's also fairly high up the tech tree behind some really, really bad tanks. The new American light tanks seem to be good, but I haven't played any of the myself.

That said, it can still be immensely fun. I love my T71. If there's ever a tank to show that you don't have to be helpless in a high tier light tank game, it's this one. Just earlier today I had top damage in a tier VIII game, four kills and a nice wad of XP. If you want to see an example of what it's capable of, Refried Noodle posted a really impressive replay on the last page. Supposedly the M41 Bulldog's even better, but I haven't played it yet.

I'm starting to kinda have fun in the Awful Panther, what is going on. As a scout tank its objectively pretty terrible, its huge, has large flat sides and limited camo. As a harassing light tank though, its pretty good. I just wish I had 6th sense on it, but its a been a good opportunity to be more cautious. Also, it can ram stuff and sometimes win.

Tier 5-7 American light tanks - Chaffee, T21, T37, M41, T71 - are all excellent, excellent tanks. But to play light tanks properly in these tiers you will most likely require at least a pair of binoculars for equipment (can be transferred between tanks for free, so one is enough if you can micromanage) and good map knowledge. For lower tier shenanigans people have mentioned the 1C and the Luchs (which does see tier 7s, but its gun has good penetration), but there's also the Japanese Ke-Ho (miniature model T-34 basically, good gun, very small size, doesn't go superfast) and the Chinese M5A1 Stuart scout tank. At tiers 4 and 5 there's the British Covenanter and Crusader tanks, which are light tank with normal matchmaking. Fun tanks + really good. Speaking of fun, here's what's both fun and not fun at the same time: Took me over 220 battles to finish MT-15 for T28 prototype. So close so many times, but at least 150+ of those games were games where the conditions (kill 3 TDs) were near impossible to fulfill, either because there weren't enough TDs (I've never had as many games chock full of other mediums), or there were exactly 3 and 4 and of course they charged forward and died immediately on the other flank. The worst kind of mission behind "sabotage your own team to get this!" kind for light tanks.

WoT client seems to crash when I actually do well in a match. The "not destroyed" database entry must be so shocking to it that the entire thing shits the bed. Figures the only time I really want to look at a detailed stat sheet.

goddamit I kinda like the Crusader but getting wins in it don't happen much - and I keep getting 1 shotted by anything with a derp. Only like 4000ish more exp to the Cromwell at least. Weird thing happened, got hit with HE and killed all my crew putting me out of the game while my tank still has HP, didn't know that was possible. Observe- http://oi59.tinypic.com/2n8vrit.jpg

I'm so happy that I finally got HT-12 for the T28 done yesterday. I had come really close to getting it about a dozen times in my KV-5, and finally got the perfect storm on a tier 8 Redshire match with no artillery. I started south, went to the 9-0 line, and let pubbies shoot my mantlet while I focused down the guys that had a chance to pen me and spread my damage over the ones who couldn't. I ended up blocking ~4000 and I needed 3560. I did >2k damage and only needed 1500. I think it would have been good enough for HT-12 for the T-55A (same blocked damage requirement, but need 2k damage in a tier 6 or higher IIRC). Now all I have left is HT-15, then I get the T28 and can start on T-55A missions. Object 260 here I come.

But get one anyway, because at its best it's ridiculous fun. As for the Luchs, it has scout matchmaking that means it will see tanks up to three tiers above it, instead of the normal two tiers. And overall, light tanks take a lot of finesse to do well in, so be prepared for a steep learning curve if you decide to go up a light tank branch as your first thing.
