ASK ME ABOUT MY RADLEY-WALTERS' MEDAL

Is that medal for being the most intolerable poster in a thread about Warhammer 40.000 novels? Because if it is, you sure blew the competition out of the water, son.
So how do I change my XVM stats, which have historically been WN8, back to WN8 from what I assume is the game's player score?

You can buy the jagtiger code from http://www.kinguin.net/product/116876/world-of-tanks-1250-gold-8-8-cm-pak-43-jagdtiger-tank-7-days-premium-bonus-code/ which should give you enough gold to buy a mid-tier medium in addition to the tank and the premium. I'm personally hoping they don't run out of codes before the fifth.

It kind of defeats the purpose when you open up all their stats in the garage after the battle anyway. Just enable XVM stats, except for chance to win, to preserve your sanity.

Also, Manny and Byez, I disbursed gold for that thing you did a while ago, and that vet replay you just posted, respectively. "Don't report me to my commander", hue. :3: (Looks like that terrible KT driver also had the stock ammo loadout with the first 105; look at all that HE. :stare:)

I'm really proud of this Awful Panther game, and what makes it even better is that it gave me enough exp to research the RU-251.



edit: btw apparently a half-health awful panther can ram a batchat at full speed and not only survive, but deal nearly 1000 damage to the batchat.

CRABS was amazing and like the one part of playing tanks I don't regret. That one night where their (goon free) "a-team" lost to PUPEH and melted down about 1400 wn8 goons losing them fights :allears:
It was wonderful how the leadership dudes projected their failures onto the random post-campaign recruits who actually won most of their games.

I'm glad that there were plenty of goons available to see exactly how a clan kills itself I kill clans. Seriously Doggtown being literally unable to play World of Tanks due to ping issues for weeks while also claiming CRABS would be able to beat -G- in a war "if -G-'s subclans didn't chip spam us" was just too perfect. Really though you 1400 WN8 goons gotta get better, you guys are holding CRABS's heavy hitters back.

Then again -G- is now somehow incapable of winning matches even against PINGU of all people so maybe my clan killing prowess is becoming contagious.

I'm making another try hard effort at tanks. For starters I've been paying more attention to my surroundings, asking for advice, and watching the tank guide youtubes by Quickbaby and Mighty Jingles. Recently I decided to platoon more.

Even though I'm doing more damage, surviving more, and getting more kills, my winrate for the month is plunging. I'd hate to stop grinding tiers 8 and 9 but those are where I see the most losses.

Would it be better to just try to push forward with the high tier tanks and just accept there'll be a harsh learning curve or would it be better to focus on lower tiered tanks and get good at them before moving on? What are some other things I can do to get better?

Paul, for all the poo poo talk in this thread, most of WoT comes down to learning how to play your particular tank on a particular map. I can cruise through Malinovka with ease in my M55, but put me in a T34 and we're going to be in trouble.
