Mauser posted:this is why I actually liked the French arty line. It's much less all or nothing. Faster reload and more accurate so that while your shots don't do as much damage, you're going to have rounds where you do pretty consistent damage. Slower reload arties are more up and down with matches where zero damage was done after 8 shots. Just wait til your 261.

James Garfield posted:That's useful but the 13 90 isn't a T-54 Yeah, I mixed up the 1390 post with the T-54 post above that. Whoops! FluffySquirrel posted:Nope, I was in the cap circle myself and it was an encounter, it was locked on 6 since early on, we were only a few min in and just trying to light up the other guy for arty The other alternative is a server "hiccup." Not exactly common, but it's happened before. Everyone gets dumped back into the garage and the match disappears. Mauser posted:how much does heavy spall liner help against high tier arty? The last time someone commented on this, he had done some tests and determined that spall liners don't reduce HE damage enough to be worth equipping over a better option (unless none exists), although the crew protection (from any type of damage) is useful.

I am having an issue where the game is RANDOMLY COMPLETELY CRASHING TO DESKTOP WITHOUT WARNING. This is very very obnoxious and I WANT IT TO STOP or else I will display rage beyond even that of Rossmum. Anyone have any tips?

If for some reason you aren't trying to win using every advantage you can, stop playing. Or just reinstall completely and never install any mods. You'll quit anyway due to the lovely default interface.

Think on what you've installed recently, and if you aren't already, consider using a mod pack like Aslain's. Just through the amount of people who uses his, he's able to find out when a mod doesn't play nice with others.

The only ways to avoid crashes are to stop playing, or just don't install mods to try to minimize them. e: also a lot of the time the crash happens when a game ends, even if you're in another game. So a game you were in previously that you left early finishes, and you crash when the result comes in.

American heavies are squishy as poo poo if you don't hit the one spot that has armor. I'm thinking more of the russian and german nonsense that rolls around tier viii and up. Best thing about French arty is being able to get into position to be shooting side armor.

I have a question about this daily log in mission get free stuff thing. The game says I'm on day 19 right now, as I apparently managed to miss the first 2 days. If my day counting is correct, I'll get the SU-100Y if I don't miss any more days, and get it on Friday 4/8. My confusion is because the worldoftanks.com page about this event literally says this ends on Friday May

Here's a nice game. 5% win chance, not even the highest xp at 1.118. That's a nice game. I love the T71. I'm bad at scouting, but I'm great at shooting motherfuckers while they're not looking. Pew pew pew.

I had a rough time just getting wins regardless of how I played, but it kind of works. The gun is decent even if it lacks alpha, and it has the depression to go hull-down. The hull can bounce, and so can the turret. It's just a different playstyle, more of a heavy medium than a true heavy. That RoF and extra mobility can help you do certain things compared to a slower, heavier tank. I got a Kolobanov's in mine, for what that's worth.

The in-game value should be correct.

My Caern was blessed by the same British Tank gods that blessed my and everyone else's Black Prince apparently, since I did pretty drat well in the thing, despite its plentiful flaws. e: their favor appears to have left me now that I'm in the Conqueror, though. drat fickle Brits.

Oh I've had the gun for ages, I elited the tank not too long ago. I've been doing better since, but not having the free XP to insta-buy the gun meant I was stuck with the 20pdr long enough for it to tank my stats in the meantime. I am chronically short on free XP. e: Same scenario with my Tortoise, except that thing needed the 120 even more, arguably.

God yes the 20pdr is not a great gun at teir 8, at teir 9 it's  Now I have the 120mm it is much better. Not a big rear end doom gun but a good RoF and like a laser so snap shots are no longer snap shots. A great tank to sit back a bit and tack shot after shot at any idiot that you can see. What the Cearn needs is a RoF buff to bring it's DPM in line with outher tier 8 tanks. DPM is not great i the meta of the game but it would make the Cearn at least useful but thats one of many things needed to fix the British line but the player base doesn't go apeshit over the British tanks so they will be sitting with the French and Chinese at the back.

Can somebody explain why they refuse to implement a skill based matchmaker? I hate seeing most of my team being pretty new to the game and inexperienced and the enemy team being mostly made out of experienced players. It just seems really unfair sometimes.

WG has said several times that they consider the unavoidable steamrollers and unavoidable beatdowns to be a feature, not a bug. Apparently it keeps the game fresh to be down 0-6 after 45 seconds of battle.

Skill-based matchmaking is poo poo anyway. All it means is you eternally yo-yo between walkovers and deliberately rigged stompings as the game tries to balance your ratio. gently caress MW:O.

Because WG has enough trouble with the MM as it is and adding in yet another thing it needs to look at will cause even more headaches and fuckups. Do you lump all the good players together and end up pushing their stats down and into lower skill brackets and defeat the point or do you spread it so the four top tiers have a spread of skill? But then you get the strength of the tanks so a good player in a good tank will still have a much greater impact than a good player in a lovely tank Plus how do you know the persons stats are actually an indication of their skill? It's far too easy to pad stats and people do it so how do you measure some ones skill? You might get a matchup that on W/R looks even but one side may be full of stat padders while the other teams tomatoes might have made the effort to learn the game more over the last 100 matches and it still is a one sided stomp. With a truly random MM it will statistically provide a mostly even team most of the time with only platoons messing with the randomness. Anything else will just end up being a massive fuckup

The T28 Concept is really fun to play, at least in tier 7 and 8 games. I'm not sure if it has low matchmaking weight or what, but I've been getting mostly tier 7 games, and it's really amazing at that tier. Bouncing 2000 damage while sitting in the open is not unusual, and you can pen anything you face with AP. Even in tier 8, you can pen most of what you see. The gun handling is incredibly good and aim time is low. The view range is also very good for a TD (370 meters). So far getting matched into tier 9 games hasn't ruined the fun I've had playing it, but if my matchmaking luck changes then maybe it will sour me on the tank. The biggest downside is that you can't carry unless the enemy team comes at you, and only from the front. If you have to turn around to reset cap, welp... forget it. This problem is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can immediately push whatever flank you're on with your badass armor. Uranium 235 fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Mar 29, 2015 |
