I kinda liked the oddity of it, was bizarre to drive everywhere in reverse. Good gun though.

Yes.
Yeah I like the Archer as well. The silly gimmick is amusing and the gun is pure murder when you get to set up. Also the quick reverse into cover saved my rear end a lot of times.

Same.

2,800 WN8 in my excelsior but only a 46% winrate can average 2,500 damage games in it but can't get wins.

Good or bad news about the 500 kills mission. You need to be in a platoon for the kills to count.

I managed to do okay in the Archer, but the Achilles was just awful. Thankfully I managed to pull through with the power of tier 6 strongholds.

I don't even have the top gun for it yet and I adore it. It's shockingly good, especially compared to the Type 61 and Leopard PTA.

I bought the Object 268 and I don't understand why everyone has been making GBS threads on it lately. It's like an Object 704 that can actually move and turn and poo poo. I'm having a great time in it!

Top gun turns it into a murder machine, most of my games have been deep purple wn8 the shells bounce a shocking amount considering how high it's pen is. I suspect confirmation bias.

Does anyone know how bad the ping is from Asia (specifically Singapore) to the US servers?

I downloaded the asian server version a few days ago and i'm having fun, but playing without goons just sucks.

If the ping isn't too bad i don't mind restarting on the US server(s).

edit: Screw it i'm downloading the NA client. I'm going to create a new WG NA account, does anyone want to toss me an invite or referral code?

The ping depends on your net provider really. I get better and more stable ping on US West than Asia, but US East is unplayable.

You also don't need to re download the entire client, there is a region selector mod that changes the few lines between the different clients, saves having to re download everything again

I was checking my stats on VBA. How the hell did I get a 2800 WN8 in the IS? No seriously, I'm not that good, and I've got like 85 or so games in it, so it's not like I've had a handful of blowout games in it. I know we all joke about how pubbies can't left click, but come the gently caress on.

Nordick posted:

Sup.



'Tis a great tonk. Highest average XP of all my vehicles, too. Well, apart from the T1 Heavy, but that only has 7 battles that were a good streak, instead of a pretty decent sample size of 183 battles.



I thought the AT-15 was the high point of the line, but I didn't think I did that good in it! Extreme gun angling is my jam apparently:



Note - I hated the AT-8 and AT-7 because moving the gun only 5 degrees in any direction was just too limiting, and also I got penned in the front on the AT-8 where it curves into the roof by a Stug that was a couple meters in front of me. I would prefer to not be penned in my angled frontal armor on my slow "brick" TD by a goddamn lower tier, thanks. That's the whole point of driving a slow lovely turretless tank, you're supposed to be advantaged against the small poo poo in front of you :argh:

T28C is great btw if you can get over being slower to turn than a boat or a plane while also not having a great HP pool to deal with artillery.

Some tanks are either hard to use, have an utterly poo poo stock grid or attract the mouth breathers like tits on a pig. All will drop the WN8 on a tank. The British heavy's are like this with you needed to only pen three shots with the Conq's top gun to get green WN8. four pens is unicum land.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
Finally got the T28 HTC, t5 Leopard, and T37.

T28 HTC: Good, better than expected. Strong armour in a wonky but usable layout, bullies t7s and shitters in t8 heavies, and has an adequate gun for t7-8 battles but it's slow, vulnerable to arty, and sees t9s it can't handle in any meaningful way.
t5 Leopard: Should have bought this ages ago; same t8 battles the Luchs used to see and can actually take a hit from almost every t8 without exploding. Though it does lack the ability to seal club t4-5 battles, it doesn't really need to. I'll have to keep it.
T37: This is just the old Chaffee with a better gun and better matchmaking. What the hell. I'll have to play the bulldog but I might actually keep this.
