"Set a higher-tier enemy vehicle on fire"

I've been top loving tier for about 20 matches in a row at tiers 6, 7, 8, and 9.

e: I am not sure what I did in the past to set this guy off, but he arced up at me before a single word was spoken or a single shot was fired. Worth note is that his team had several players with equal or better stats.






Other insults included: telling me to learn English "immigrant" (I didn't even typo, unlike him); calling me a pencil-neck immediately after asking how fat I am; saying I am not worth typing to but proceeding to do it for the rest of the match anyway; and my personal favourite, calling me "CHINK" because of the tank I was driving :confuoot:

If I hadn't suggested he better the world by killing himself I would ticket it but I don't feel like impaling myself just to get him as well.

e2: I'm guessing from the way he was speaking and the racism out of nowhere that he's Australian, which means a) he is up first thing in the morning insulting his betters over the internet and b) he is inherently scum and I should've upgraded "kill yourself" to "I hope your entire country gets glassed".

WoT has the most racist and bigoted community I have ever come across in a game. I blame the retard community managers in WGNA. The confederate is particularly galling seeing as one of our iterations of a goon clan was forced to rename because we were glorifying LGBTA stuff or something along those lines.

I really would love the chance to call them out on it.

The WoT Wiki (tm) claims the RU-251 should have mostly HE ammo. Is this tripe or is the 100+ pen of the HE rounds good enough to warrant more than usual amounts of HE?

According to my experience, only a select few guns should use HE at all: the FCM PaK, the 152 on the KV2, and the 10.5 howitzers on the German and US midtier vehicles. Does this sound about right so far?

Hit a rhm for 600 damage with an HE round from my 122mm last night, that stupid mother fucker had no idea what just happened to him.

But yeah probably best not to shoot HE 99% of the time.

At least he didn't spend 3 reload cycles to kill a half health Obj 268.

Also the RU-251's HE is quite good actually. The pen is pretty good, especially in combination with the reload time, which makes it very useful when shooting pubbies in the butt.

(The SU152 is one fo the few guns HE is OK to use as long as you pack HEAT as well.)

But yes HE is a special thing to use and if you are not sure when to use it don't, use gold instead.

I played my E100 for the first time in like a year and a half and it made me re-do my loadout. Mysteriously I ended up with 4 silver shells and the rest (like 22?) HE. Made for an interesting match before I noticed.

You don't really have enough ammo for it, especially considering how small the low tier tanks are. You'll do 30 damage to a tetrarch or something and then cry.

Smh. A draw. loving Murovanka. Just a terrible map. After an entire game of bailing out my team, I'm left with the St. Emil (250 hp), while the enemy have the T-150 (110 hp) and the M12. The St. Emil is camping at the back of the map, the T-150 isn't stupid enough to rush in. So I go after the arty who apparently also had the same idea - so we shot each other. And then, for six whole minutes, nothing happened. The St. Emil wasn't moving, I couldn't see the T-150. Some people in chat were trying to bluff the enemy players, giving out the wrong position of the St. Emil. They didn't buy it, obv. And then finally, with two seconds left in the game, they spot each other... and the game ends.

I swear, I think the T-150 may have been stock as well, so the St. Emil could've probably just taken the hit. I hate this map so much.

I might just be rolling higher on my RNG, but on other tier 3's it does a hell of a lot of damage when it pens, or about the same as AP if it doesn't.

Your luck may vary.

Shooting HE out of the MT-25's 37mm autocannon is fun but really ineffective. Which is obvious. Makes some nice explosion effects though on things. Plus seemed to really annoy a Hellcat.

Good joke WGA copy editor. Also next time low tier prems are on sale, everyone should buy the T14 and probably Pak40. The Pak40 is on a dead research line, but it really does something absolutely unique. The T14 is just a good tier five with preferential matchmaking.

I bought the Pak40 today and got a top gun in my first game, it's a pretty funny tank to play. Luckily I remembered we got given a Foch crew from that 8-bit winter event. I've never played French tanks before and didn't really want to grind up a new 75% crew.

The engine sounds are way too loud and overwhelming by default, but really neat once you fiddle with the game's volume sliders. Namely, turn the Vehicle slider WAY down.

GF's gun sound mod has some really cool firing sounds and the shell flight sounds and distant explosions are great, but the ridiculous distortion on the higher caliber sounds is really stupid and I got tired of the performance issues it caused.

Been using the War Thunder gun sounds since they were included in Aslain's pack, they're pretty good..
