If you have multiple tanks in a specific line that you like and want to keep, how do you quickly train up a secondary crew for those vehicles?

Put them in a premium tank and play them a lot. Or just a regular tank and silver retrain them once you're satisfied. Training crews is mostly about playing a lot of matches.


The female crew members start out with the first skill fully trained. But you have to complete all the missions to get them.

A DPM advantage of a whopping 82.4 damage/minute. Why, that's a huge advantage right there. I'm sure you'll be able to DPM race a T10 medium shooting HEAT straight through your mantlet much better with that gun.

Is that calculated taking the 90 alpha difference into account? Because I'm really not confident I'm ever going to be in a position to continually fire for over a minute straight.

Back after a break. How is the AMX 30B? I was about to start the Leopard 1 grind but the 30B looks just as good/if not better and I don't have to do that obnoxious tier 7 german light tank or whatever (I already have an elite amx 13 90).

30B is almost a leo clone that has slightly better camo, noticeably crappier mobility, better snap shot ability but less dpm and aims down slower. Go for the Leo, its pretty much superior and more useful in CW anyway

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
So I found one of the worst players I've ever seen: steelthunder777

Some highlights (only 900 company battles out of 26000):

1900 Super Pershing battles - 326 average damage
1450 KV-85 battles - 244 average damage, 36% winrate
950 PZ38nA battles - 31 average damage, only 6 scouts (so it isn't a SLYFOX54 bot)
700 games in the Pz4H - 39 average damage
2 Aces badges out of 184 tanks, on the T-150 (1300 games 290 average damage) and Grille (500 games 36% winrate?! the gently caress is he doing to sabotage his team like this)
Panther 88 (21 games), JT88 (27 games) he's keeping the game free for us.

He was top tier in a WTpz4 on Cliff, did 250 damage, we won easily because I did 5k damage and the enemy chose not to fire their guns at me. He responded to my taunts so he wasn't a bot. Fun times.

How the gently caress do you guys deal with e100/e75 in a basic medium? I can't seem to do poo poo to them in my t-54 unless I'm literally staring at a 90 degree angle into their rear end in a top hat. Is that pretty much standard poo poo or am I just bad

This is actually the most puzzling, since the PZ4's HE slinger will hit even a KV for 80-120 damage in the front. Literally a third of a shot at the most well-armoured tank in the tier.

I have no loving clue other than maybe he forgot to setup his not correctly so it was shooting AP from the derp or HE from the 75 or using the 5cm? That poo poo just makes no sense other than he is actively malicious in some way - choosing to sabotage his teams through botting or intentionally losing.

Looks like their adding more participation medals in 9.8 oh joy. Though the personal boosters seem like they might be useful if they aren't a huge PIA to earn. Dynamic platoons can suck a dick though. All you need is every poo poo lord with XVM spamming invites to any vaguely green player they see.

Nordick

Yes.
What I like the most about 9.8 is that the game will now actually tell you whenever you spot a tank and when you score assistance damage. Gonna make scouting a whole lot easier when you don't have to guess if it's you or someone else doing the spotting.

Basically, I'm just farming as many fun-to-play tanks as possible because I hardly ever get to play. So, when I do, I just cycle through my premiums and the regular tanks I enjoy playing, trying to get my doubles.
Late to party.

AT-2 is hella fun to left click tanks with. Actually, I'm having/had fun with the entire Brit brick line, up through the AT15 right now.

Excelsior and T14 were great until they got removed from the store. Play them as mediums.

The A-44 is also quite amusing. You get a really powerful gun and it sidescrapes pretty well. Decent speed. The armor bounces lots of weird stuff, the ammo rack is well protected and the gun handling is unparalleled.





I propose we change PANSY to GOATS. Then if some shitlord annoys us about joining, we can send them to goatse.info and it'll look legit on the surface.

The Lorraine is pretty awful. Not as bad as it was right after they made it a tier 9, but still not great. It is as big as a house and basically unarmored, so enjoy getting full penned by everyone. I LOVE shooting Lorraines when I play arty...it is like the 4th of July!
