Infected posted:Nope, better gunhandling from what I understand of the patchnotes.  A bump to mobility would be nice, but if they did both then the IS-7 would be oh so broken. This video's for the guy who asked about SU-122-44 driving tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgHrct8Ci3o When you're top tier this thing is so much fun. When you're not top tier just lay back a bit and let your teammates attract attention to themselves while you get in position for side shots. This thing is happiest at ranges <= 250m.

Aesis posted:I don't know why they don't ban XVM tbh. Sure it helps at identifying potential threat, but I feel it has more of negative impact on the game due to people looking at it + win prediction and either throwing the game or getting mad when their team starts losing on a 'supposedly won game'. Basically being judged even when playing game just because of your 'colour' Counterpoint: one-shotting a 5000 WN8 re-roll is never-ending enjoyment.

 Here's a link to my modpack for 9.7!Here are the fonts it uses. It contains: - XVM with my own brand of lines on the minimap - White = Maximum spotting/draw distance and traverse indicators - Red = Artillery and low tier autoloader range - Green = View range and camera direction - 2 seconds protection from shooting at corpses - J1mb0's crosshair mod - Server-side crosshair - 500m zoom out, 16x zoom in - Scope shadow removed - Locastan's damage panel, session stats, and team HP - MeltyMap's damage and effective armour indicators. - 2 row tank carousel - My Metal Gear Solid sixth sense mod (disappears after 12 seconds) - HP bars - Battle assistant - Received damage announcer - Lock-on autoaim - 15m shoot through bushes safely circle (hold Numpad 0) - Autoequip binocs/toolbox/camo net -  A PENETRATION CALCULATOR THAT USES ARMOUR ANGLE  It probably also has some other stuff I've forgotten about, but nothing that can get you banned. Let me know if there are any issues.

It with our full health WT against those two survivors who were one or two shot-able. It was just painful to watch. He hit them once. Once. And not even the right one.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Sherman Firefly, has anyone found it worth keeping? Edit: I'm probably asking this question prematurely, I don't have the top gun on it installed yet, still need the turret. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 23:01 on May 3, 2015 |

quote:When you play the game of Tanks, you play to win. Wise words spoken during a platoon with Bill today. Also, since the regular replay website does not like to host Obj 907 games, I gave a shot at the Overwolf video recorder. I have a piece of poo poo computer and idk how to video edit, so enjoy.    Replay via YOUTUBE!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4N4FjMBYro Fake edit: If anyone has any tips on settings I can use on this I would appreciate it!

Before I got it, I considered it a potential keeper since it had a high pen gun for a med on tier 6, but while I now have a 75% winrate in the Achilles, I only have 40% in Firefly, so I don't know anymore. I do well in it but every match I get my team turns into pure shitters, so I think the drat thing is cursed.

R. Mute posted:It may turn out better once people start getting used to it, but I'm very opposed to even more maps with convenient spots where TDs can just dig the gently caress in surrounded by nice kill-zones. Prok has left me traumatised. I haven't seen much of what you're talking about. There's plenty of natural cover and concealment to sneak around with in the east, lots of artificial cover in the center, the far west offers flanking options although actually fighting on the beach there seems pointless, and most importantly, the map is loving huge. I know it's no bigger than any other 1000x1000 map, but the way each of the sections seems separated from each other makes it feel a lot bigger. Despite the separated feel, it seems pretty easy to disengage from a flank to shore up another one if needed. I've had nothing but fun on the map.

4% off my 3rd mark of excellence with the IS-8. For some reason I love this thing, despite side scraping and being penned by 175mm IS-1s.

I can't bring myself to actually go up that line though. Good tier 8, not good tier 7 and 9, and worthless tier 10? Seems real depressing.

Aesis posted:Bad gun angle, poo poo camo and bit thin armour though. Still beats using Ferdinand in some cases. The Ferd has so many weak spots it might as well not have armor, and the JP2 crushes it in mobility. The JP2 is vastly superior to the Ferdinand, and if anyone wants the J100, choose the JP2.

The JP2 is vastly superior to the Ferdinand, and if anyone wants the J100, choose the JP2. Alternately just stick with the JP2. A fair number of goons swore by it before it got power creeped when the RHM and subsequent lines came out. Hellsau posted:Agreed, it's a slow Hellcat. Murder enemy tanks and don't get shot at and win all the games. I think I'm going to go through the line and keep the Firefly and Charioteer. I may skip the t7, I skipped the t4 after grinding half of it (it's a lee but slower) and I might skip the Sherman III (it's an M4 Sherman but slower and doesn't get the short 105mm). I know the M4 Sherman is good, but the lee was utter poo poo and they felt the need to give the British lines worse versions of both of them at the same tier. What the gently caress? And then WG turns around and says that no one plays the British line so it's low priority. Maybe if you gave it good t10s? Like putting in a new line where it has worst-in-class vehicles for four tiers (4, 5, 7, and 10; I'm not 100% sure about the t5 and I don't really know much about the t9) including t10 sounds like it's intentional sabotage on WG's part. They don't want to add more British tanks so they put in a line so bad no one will play it, then use that as proof that no one wants British tanks. The WTE and 183 are really precariously balanced by their massive flaws and the 4005 has all the flaws of both of them and none of the benefits. No one who actually plays the game would have expected the 4005 to be balanced in any way; it has to be intentional.
