I have seen one T-55A in game, so it isn't completely impossible, but I would be willing to bet it is effectively impossible without gaming it somehow. My suspicion is that the large clans collude/count in and hope to land on opposite sides. We should start doing that...might be suspicious if clanmates did it, but we have enough goons who aren't in PANSY to try it out.

I am happy to help with missions (in the traditional sense or otherwise). Although apparently I am not much help if my hideous run with Hellsau last night is any indication.

HT12 is actually one of those missions that was the least painful to complete, I landed on Karelia as an E75 and I just kinda hid my lower front plate behind some dead teammate while shooting ever last shell I had at whatever was available and I got it on my first (or second try).

Lemme find the replay if you're interested. Welp, found it, it's basically me losing after farming the mission requirements and having two brave [2PAC] platoonmates die pointlessly. Still got my T55A.

You know how you can't cede control of the map to an enemy team and expect to win?

Well that wisdom gets hotly contested when you're on a team of oranges.

"XVM says we're only 19% to win, better camp."

"You historically give up the map, that why you're at 19% to win. Push up."

"That won't help."

Yeah I love mine now I have all the modules for it, it was miserable before I got the top engine. I play mine really aggressively and it's working out pretty well, second best stats for me after my M6. I generally chill with the main bulk of heavies then use its speed for aggressive flanking as soon as the opportunity arises.

Make it a combo of spotting and damage dealt or something.

Can you tell I have been stuck on LT-15 for the T28HC for a loving month? Not bitter at all. Not me.

It's pretty situational, but don't forget that tracking damage DOES count. I got LT-15 for the T28 HTC done that way. Only 3k spotting damage, but over 3k tracking damage as well! Went balls to the walls in my RU251 towards end of battle, permatracked an E-75, then an AMX 50 120. Good times!

Just to be more specific here - I got 2050 spotting damage in my RU 251, WayAbvPar got 2400 damage, and I got 2 kills. My requirements were 2000 spotting, 2 kills, and platoonmates deal 1500. I did not finish the mission - I actually got 2050 assist damage, 1700 spotting and 350 tracking. gently caress me for shooting a tank in the track I guess.

I just had a look at the missions, for the Stug I don't want - I've finished the med one but it won't let me improve the result on some of them because it says only 1 mission can be active at a time, do I have to claim the lady first since I dunno where I want her yet and if so why is that a 'mission'?

Yes. Once you claim her, you can improve results on other missions in that vehicle type. You can make her a crew member of any tank you have researched; it doesn't have to be in your garage.

So running tier8 scout platoons is pretty OK, better than running solo, since you more or less guarantee the other team also will have 3 LTs. Had this game the other day with diogenespanda and FrenchArmy.
It had pretty much everything, double-teaming tanks with AMX 13 90, me getting blapped early and got carried, a solid turn-around of a losing game and a surprising twist in the end. Watch from 3.10 to see an hilarious case of tunnel vison on the enemy teams AMX 13 90.

Also, a game some weeks ago with WayAbvPar and Distracted_SA. This is how you get carried in the LT mission.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHK-lLkEZFU
Once again I get blapped early, but my toon mates carry me to victory. It was an extremely close game as well as including a fair amount of bitching at our toon mates.
