I seem to be doing something which makes my teams implode on themselves, I just can't string together any wins at all. It took me 8 games to get a win in my Chi-To today. I'm usually ok in my Pershing, 55% wr in it, took me 6 games to get a win. gently caress this game.

Firing on the move is incredibly painful in the 13 90, I avoid it as much as I can.

That or a CDC probably, don't feel like spending the gold for both. It's probably the best Tier 8 premium. Troll armor, good firepower, decent mobility the only real downside is it's sub standard pen which isn't that bad considering it's got pref mm and will being doing most of it's work close up. Out of all the T8 premiums the best ones to own IMO are the IS-6 and the FCM so If wargaming really does push to get rid of the limited mm tanks then I would strongly consider one or both if you can spare the cash.

BadLlama posted:The Chinese medium grind is awful but I don't want to level the light and heavy tree as well. Lol you fell for the pubbie trap. That is the absolute worst thing you can do to yourself. The one true way(tm) to do the Chinese tree is to do the medium last. If you don't unlock the 113 or play the lights in advance you're looking at a 219k (I think, it is over 200k for sure) exp grind until you get the gun for the WZ-120, then more for the engine. The T-34-2 is the only real poo poo tank in the medium line, the Type 58 is good, the T-34-1 is up there with the Comet (for very different reasons), and the 120 and 121 are good. But the 34-2 is really, really poo poo. Either stockpile a fuckton of exp or at least go through the lights. The 59-16 has a funny gimmick (shoot all APCR out of the 76mm and be a vulture) while the 131 and 132 are solid, even if the 132 is overshadowed by the 251 now. On the heavy side the 111 1-4 more or less competes with the E-75 for the title of top t9 heavy (for different reasons). Though that was before the 4502B got buffed into the stratosphere.

BadLlama posted:The Chinese medium grind is awful but I don't want to level the light and heavy tree as well. Too bad? The heavy line is great and will possibly be one of the best lines if the 113 gets buffed a lot and the Type 58 becomes as good as the 34-85 it's cloned from. The WZ-132 is horrendous, but only because I've played the RU-251. I rather enjoyed it until I played a tank that is better in every way and gets the same matchmaking.

http://wotreplays.com/site/1783007#malinovka-steelion-m46_patton Patton is a very nice tank, even if I did whiff a third of my shots completely. ~6.5k directly, and another 2k spotting.

I have the IS-2 and while I enjoyed the IS I am just bored of that type of tank so its hard to grind it. But if the 113 is getting buffed that might be a good decision to level.

KV-2 tier VI game, I one-shot two KV-2s (which was really, really funny) and murder three other tanks (including an M6) for a total of 2500 dmg - so I guess that means my team has to make up for this and kill nobody so we could still lose. Tsssss.

A T49 nailed my Cent7/1 in the turret for over 1000 damage from about 300m+. Its incredible how often those seem to nail long range shots they probably shouldn't.

And now I'm on Steppes and I'm apparently the only one who thought of going west, so I get in a defensive position, shoot a passing Panther in his side for 900 dmg and ram him for 100 more. Then a T29 shows up, I shoot him in the side for a poo poo ton of damage, set him on fire, ram him and leave him at 29hp. Then I duly die. We've won while I was writing this post and I did top damage with two shots, haha. 2225 damage. KV-2 best tank.

Guys, the T49 is not very good, but it is certainly very fun. And also sometimes very good. Spoiler alert, I got my mission to kill three artillery. Missions left to get the T-55A: Light: Both platoon missions, LT-15 Medium: Both Platoon missions. destroy heavy two tiers higher, destroy two higher tier mediums, destroy three arti, two fires, and MT-15 (what the gently caress is with all the goddamn RNG missions on the medium branch?) Heavy: Destroy two higher tier heavies, deal 3k damage and cap, Kill 7 tanks as a platoon, HT-15 TD: TD-15 Arti: lol just kidding gently caress that. TD-15 is loving easy, LT-15 is entirely based on getting Prok with useful teammates and terrible enemy lights, HT-15 Is all about having an above average E-100 game or facing total morons in tier tens, and MT-15 is RNG bullshit (kill 2 higher tier TDs) but isn't really that hard. Is the T-55A just an actual T-54 clone? Because I could use one of those.

Steelion posted:http://wotreplays.com/site/1783007#malinovka-steelion-m46_patton Very generous of that 1500 wn8 T-54 to shoot you over and over again with HE so you can pick and choose your shots. But yes, Patton is at least as good a tank as the Type 58, had probably my best session in months today. Edit: And yeah Hellsau, it's got the D10T2S gun and everything. I think it has the stock engine or something so it's not as gofast.

Let's see if I can come up with some examples from my shanky.txt file: shanky posted:Go gently caress yourself shitlord I hope that answers your question! Jack_tripper posted:because a lot of the people that seriously use it derogatorily are clueless? I play with a few chai guys occasionally and they will absolutely dominate games. of course some chinese purples hang in the back and rack up wn8, just like some of the purple players from G and other top clans Oh there certainly are some good Chinese players. But there are plenty more of them with purple WN8 and blue WR (or blue and green, etc.) due to the aforementioned damage-farming CHAI-sniping. I wasn't trying to make a generalization about all Chinese players, but obviously the derogatory term came from somewhere. The phrase has never been "RELIC-sniping" or anything else like that for a reason. Uranium 235 posted:BULBA is on the map, and have been ever since they dropped out of the northeast and showed up in the south. They're holding very good territory in Mexico. Well then to clarify, they are in an area far enough away from the aforementioned power bloc (look at BULBA's neighbors) that it would require a concerted effort to relocate and map them, as opposed to, say, if they had tried to keep PBKAC's original territory. They lost territory they had gained while trying to map PBKAC while simultaneously avoiding even engaging OTTER, all during the ~4 day excursion. They would not have been able to hold that land for very long being that it is surrounded by PBKAC allies and covers an LZ. Desuwa posted:Lol you fell for the pubbie trap. That is the absolute worst thing you can do to yourself. Agreed on the part about progressing up the Chinese tree, but my feelings on the T-34-s are reversed. I thought the 34-1 was poo poo due to that gun handling and unusable depression/hulldown ability, but the 34-2 (with the 100) drives very similarly to the Type 59 (for obvious reasons.) It's certainly a worse Type 59, but nevertheless plays more like a classic medium as opposed to its predecessor. YMMV, of course, but I'm finding that I like the 34-2 (after removing the 122 for the 100.) Also, I'll repost this: quote:How to play the Chinese medium line: srb posted:Let's be honest here Hellsau, you have also killed a lot of men to buff your wn8. Hey, I sucked off a lot of men to buff my WR. Don't judge!
