I use it a fuckton in my Church 3 and it's my tank with my best winrate (like 59% with almost 120 battles)

Best mod.

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

I used to get so mad when I played.. holy poo poo my blood pressure must have been through the roof every time I would bounce shot after shot only to get blown to pieces by arty. That or some other invisible rainman who knew how to take me out in two or three shots without ever being spotted.

I have something like 600+ hours if not more in WoT, and no tier 10 because I kept getting distracted. Nearly every branch at 8 or 9 though. I stopped around 9.2 or something, how is it now? Worth coming back or will I continue to rip my hair out? Havent really gamed since I put WoT down with workload getting mad at the office. Playing the Armored Warfare EA right now, pretty fun.

not really worth it

Any of the other discounted gold tanks worth it? (Valentine II, T-127?).

Switched back to the 57mm on the T-34 as well, despite having a lower penetration, it seems to penetrate more reliably (or maybe its accuracy is just meaning I hit more of the weak spots I aim at).

T-127 absolutely worth it, Valentine II is a shittier B2 with same MM bracket so you can take it in B2 platoons. Quite worth it just because of super preferential MM.

T-127 is hilariously superior to other tanks in the same class.

It can go tank medium tanks several at the same time and destroy them with ease.

The slightly lower pen is more then offset by the insane ROF boost, better accuracy and aimtime. Not to mention the 189mm pen gold shells for tough things.

It's basically an ethernet cable. It modulates its signal through the wiring.

Also most (if not all these days) brands encrypt the data between endpoints so somebody can't just plug another into your house and siphon your data :science:

I finished the TD mission last night and I'm back to having under 100 tanks in the garage. To celebrate I bought an A-44.

If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I bought the A-44 before clearing out the garage, but it doesn't matter.

I like it so far. It's fast like a medium, has a gun like a TD, and it has a female commander.

Doesn't feel like it any more. I had a few IS3 and 28 Proto shots eaten by lower and upper plates last night. It might be close to where it was when first came out...and when you take into account the changes for HEAT rounds as well as the upcoming pen nerf (in theory) it might only get better (or less worse really)

Okay, I'm going to ask a strange question, did they change the matchmaking for the game? Four days ago I was rocketing over 52% winrate, doing well. Today...I'm plummeting. Games since 3 days ago are averaging 30% win rate even as my damage/game and WN8 keep climbing. The number of bottom tier games I'm playing may be part of it but it's so sharp a difference that I'm left confused.

I had this same problem and then moved to US West and started pubstomping and having > 60% winrate per session :v:

The problem wasn't the canisters it was that there was a big hatch behind them. Staring at the model it looks like the canister are much much flatter and the hatch reduced somewhat in size. The gun shield might be bigger as well. You may even be able to mostly cover the tubes with the gun shield by aiming straight up at the expense of showing more turret cheek.

Yeah. This poo poo happens sometimes, usually at weekends. I just played thirty games in my T-54 and won fourteen. Four games where I was top tier. My average damage was a third of normal because the gun wasn't going to hit or penetrate anything, and because the matchmaker thinks four E-100s on one team and one on the other is fair.

And Christ almighty the server is teaming with 42% top tier shotgun artillery, and people who TK because 'stoled my kill.'
