I was watching a Russian twitch stream and a mod he was using caught my eye. His garage has a stats overlay on the tank icons: He didn't speak english so I couldn't ask where to find it and some cursory google searching turned up nothing. Does anyone have any idea where I can get this mod?

Uranium 235 posted:It gives 15 hp and decreases the aim time from 1.9 to 1.7 seconds. It probably improves other gun handling stats (like bloom when turning the turret), but I'm not sure about that. ah, okay. Well, I guess that's something. Not sure how much that's gonna help when I'm getting two-shot by pretty much every tank above tier 3, though. I think I'm gonna train up my crew to 100%, start working on the camo skill and buy some optics (in addition to the camo net I already have) for the M8A1. At least that way, I might get off another shot or two before I explode.

If you are shooting tanks looking your way you should be firing one or two shots and then ducking behind cover to drop the spot against you, then pop out and shoot again preferably in a different location.

Uranium 235 posted:I dunno about the specifics of that turret and tank, but turrets usually give boosts to view range, hp, armor, turret traverse, rate of fire, and gun handling. Not all turrets give all of these bonuses, and sometimes one or more of these categories will actually get worse. But upgraded turrets are virtually always worth it. Note: the Jackson's top turret is a trap. I found that out the hard way, and I finished the tank without using it(after buying it, mounting it, finding it was useless and demounting it). It makes you easier to spot, gives the opponent more places to shoot you(it's open topped, but the top turret adds a cover which can be penned frontally with ease) and does nothing to prevent artillery from dunking a shell into your roof, because it's like 17mm thick, and it isn't even needed for the top gun.

The cromwell has good depression as well so using hills to peak around and pop out shells is a good idea.

Has anyone ever shot a TOG from the front? It seems like they are always showing me their (ENORMOUS) sides. Did 1700+ damage in my SU85B today in one match, most of it against clueless TOGs. Also, seconded on Paul's question. Anyone figure WTF on the hidden missions yet?

# ? May 5, 2015 00:41 |
I finished the first mission in an arty where I got a medal. I forgot to write down the details before transferring over to USA East. The second secret mission is rumored to involve a light tank, the third secret mission is rumored to involve a heavy, and there's supposed to be a fourth mission involving a td. v0v.

There is a lot of things I regret in WoT. Buying a TOG is near the top.

So, question for you all: My crew on the T-28 is at 95% (except my commander at 87%). I'll also be hitting the KV-1 soon, so I'm wondering a few things: Keep leveling the crew to 100/110, select crew skills and move on? Or just get the crew to 100% and keep the commander in the T-28. I assume both radiomen should be repair, but what about the commander/gunner/driver?

CitizenKain posted:Problem with the TOG (when driving it) is that its near impossible to not show your side to something. And I am going to grind out 500 kills this month for a tank I will probably never drive. I think I may have a problem. I haven't played any lights today (or arty, I don't think), so perhaps that is why I haven't finished the missions yet.

Blindeye posted:So, question for you all: Elite your T-28 before ditching it for the KV-1. It doesnt matter what their main qualification is at, they'll unlock their first skill soon enough. When that happens, everyone gets repair, retrain commander to sixth sense when his second skill is at 41%. This is my SOP for heavies and mediums.

Blindeye posted:So, question for you all: Keep the T-28 crew for when you play the medium line, and buy a new 75% crew for the KV-1. Don't pick skills before retraining because extra % will go towards clearing the retraining penalty. Buy a Churchill 3 when it is on sale, throw the KV-1 crew on it and grind it to 100% in like fifteen games. Repairs on both crew, except sixth sense on commander if you're lazy and don't want to retrain.

Had one of those "games of a life time" on my 50b. First half is super boring, but the clean up is amazing. It was down to just me and a super bad Leo Proto. Hands were shaking in the end, good poo poo. Youtube Replay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVrxJx59H6I Fake Edit: 50b is amazing.

I was planning at the very least on going with eliting the T-28, but I also have a T-50 and an M-3. Not sure if I'm taking the M-3 up the medium or heavy line in US, may go sherman and then bypass the T-1 on the tech tree in the short term. VV Edit: Or maybe get the T-1 and the M4 later.

The T1 is a fine tank, leads to the M6 which gets you the 90mm, which you will absolutely need when starting the T29. The T29 with the 76mm is the biggest waste of a heavy tank in the game.

Mesadoram posted:Fake Edit: 50b is amazing. I like how the 50B has actually great armor since pubbie don't bother shooting the turret and autopenning, and instead bounce on the great front hull. Also it goes fast. I free xped through the 50120 so the grind to it was also great. B1 easy matchmaking, 90 mm at tier 5, 105mm APCR, 105mm APCR, 50100, good tier 10. That's a nice progression where all the tanks have a big advantage going for it. Blindeye posted:Okay, I should say I'm a free player . I can't justify getting too invested in the game.

You should have used an invite code, which would have gotten you at least some gold, and there's a monthly mission on NA where you can get a win in a tier 5 or higher for 10 gold three times a day. It only take 750 gold for a tier 5 pref on sale, and the Churchill 3 trains crews ludicrously fast due to an innate XP bonus, the usual premium tank XP bonus, and the usual premium tank crew XP bonus. Always use credits for crew training though. IF you can't afford that many credits, play more - you need the practice anyway, and there's no sense rushing upwards. Once you get the KV-1, feel free to play that tank for like eight hundred games because it is fantastic and makes you credits that you will desperately need as a non-premium player.

I don't enjoy playing tier 9 tanks, so I'm sure as hell not playing through a bad one. Thank you WGA for making Skirmish tournaments pay out a laughable amount.

BadLlama posted:So compared to all the other tier 8 lights what is the WZ-132's thing? It seems pretty much worse in everything except for the really really amazing track traverse. I guess you are supposed to circle KV-4's and T34s to death? I don't have any any T8 light tanks to compare it to, but I really enjoy the WZ-132... right up until the point I see another tier 7-8 light tank coming at me. I tend to think of it as a fast medium with no armor. I do better when I can engage at range as the top gun on the tank has a bit of extra pen and alpha. I can surprise some heavies that think I can't pen them. Shoot and scoot works really well, but if I have to get into a DPS race with another light that decides to get close then I'll lose pretty much every time unless they were severely damaged prior to finding me. E: So in conclusion, it is the worst t8 light. I just happen to do well in it.

The WZ-132 is really bad. It is worse than the RU-251 in every way - the extra track traverse and better ground resistance is offset by the HP/t difference. Here, check out the stat comparison: http://tank-compare.com/en/compare/spahpanzer-ru-251/wz-132#T1=536I436I161I645I238&T2=460I361I315I562I203 The guns are just so much vastly worse on the WZ-132 that it's ridiculous once you've played the RU-251 and get to experience actual pen and DPM. Now, the WZ-132 does get a nice profile (which doesn't work well with the non-existant gun depression) so you'd think it'd get good camo, right? hahaha it has slightly better camo than the goddamn T49 primelaw posted:I liked the 50 120 Proof it's bad.

I mean yeah being in tier 10 games is pretty lame, but you've easily got the gun to curbstomp tier 10s.
