The best part about PANSY was getting messages from people thanking us for representing LGBT rights.

It's pretty damning for this game's player base that PANSY's minimal level of activism is a breath of fresh air for people.

Yeah, I remember; the LGBTQ-friendly guy then got butthurt because assassinated called his clan like 90% Nazis in a match, it was quite the headache for me. :rolleyes:

Does this mean even shithead bad tankers like me can join PANSY? Half the fun I rediscovered last night was making remarks about Communism or Wrestlemania in the chat and watching people get into arguments.

For that matter, does this convoluted quest line to give you female tankers provide you with bonuses, other than the mission rewards and the warm glow of earning a tank wife?

You can join, in fact being terrible is a requirement to join PANSY! So is loving huge cocks, but we'll pass that bridge when we get to it! ;)

the tier 6, 7, 8, and 9 are all really good in that line what the neck?

Having recently finished the Challenger I can confirm that it is bad. It's not AMX 40 bad, but it's bad enough that it caused me to remember the AMX 40 exists. The Challenger is fast, has no armor, mediocre penetration, a high rate of fire and a turret that turns so slowly that you won't believe it. It's pretty much a Cromwell with a tier higher matchmaking and one of the worst turrets in the game.

The tier 8 is all right so far. Looking forward to upgrading the gun on it.

My Tazilon Trading Card (from the Sperglord set) is the Chinese version, so I can't read his player profile. What'd Tazilon do other than somehow not killing himself after the VK2801 got nerfed into the ground?

He quit WoT because Russia invaded the Ukraine, and he didn't want to support Russian companies (in Tazilon land, Belarus and Russia are the same).

It's right there in the name, come on guys :v:

In other news, just bought the 50 120 today.

I wish I had more free XP, because I want all of those upgrades so goddamn bad. I dunno if it's the hp/t ratio or the traction, but the thing feels more sluggish than my E-75. Is it worth sticking with the 100mm for slightly longer to get the engine and/or the tracks earlier? I feel like I can make the 100mm work, I just need to get used to it again.

Or is the 50 120 just that much slower than the 50 100?

The challenger is a super-e25 without pref mm. Meaning that at least 2/3 of your matches you are op as poo poo.

Is it because they are better at multitasking? For example making a sandwich and doing the dishes at the same time.

It's got less stationary camo than the E25 has on the move (and its on the move camo is still worse than E-25 camo when firing). It can have some good games when ignored, since pubbies are bad at getting shot at, but it's still an enormously frustrating tank to play.

Tier 8 is good allegedly, Firefly is great. Definitely no reason to play that line at all though.

The tier 8 is great, your gun has crazy pen for its tier and you punch through turrets and UFPs in strongholds no problem. The bloom is ridiculous though, you can't snapshot at all.

I guess I should apologize to assassinated here. I got invited to a "drunk platoon" with him and TFA, saw there were pref 8s up, and as a result yoloed my IS6 into a bad situation, only to find out that he was far more serious about our performance potential than I'd expected. Mea culpa, man, next time I'll take it more seriously.

You can mod the radial menu messages (there are editors and poo poo if you google it) which more or less lets you do that. Unless you have an awful lot of macros planned.

Cheers. Mostly I just want to be able to say "No that's a lovely idea and we'll lose" without getting distracted and ploughing into a pond. And possibly for the next time I get accused of being a "german jew homo"

"I like big dicks and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a guy walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a long thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
'cause you notice that jock was stuffed
Deep in the jeans he's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that cock you got
Make Me so horny"

But I suspect that will be a bit too long.

You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would be nice. I don't know if we are actually doing strongholds atm.

We haven't done strongholds in ages, afaik, mostly just because nobody's on anymore. I think I saw like 8 people on last night, tops.

Unrelatedly, do the different ranks actually mean anything? I notice that I've somehow become a "Combat Officer"

WG changed the clan rank names and added more a while ago, I guess to give the fake military clans a boner or something.
