You give yourself too much credit. It just happens that BBQ and pulled pork is far more exciting than world of tanks.

My buddy who has most of his hours in arty kept telling me how arty is just fine and gently caress the whiners.

Then he bought a Churchill III and got hosed up by arty constantly and was extremely pissed

I was talking to Dandy the other day and you know what goes extremely well with BBQ's down here in the southern hemisphere?

Feast your eyes on this



This is a Pavlova. Apparently, Americans have nothing like this to eat while they shoot pixel tanks. Some filthy Australians say that they invented it. They are wrong, as usual. No, this was invented in New Zealand by honest, hard working kiwis. It's beaten cream on a meringue like base and topped with fruit. Unlike meringues though, a Pavlova is crunchy on the outside and has a lovely, soft marshmellowy centre. This is the reason why New Zealand has such a high obesity rate.

You literally can't have a BBQ in the summertime in New Zealand without having one of these. It's also a state crime to have one without strawberries as well.

lol this campaign is loving hilarious. Yesterday, I got 4700 fame points, and ended up at 2205th place.

I just got 38200 fame points for a fight. JohnGalt, if PINGU doesn't gently caress up and makes it to the fancy New Swabia map, both of us will be getting a tank.

e: John Galt you're up to 29k, there should be enough fame to go around for both of us to get the tank if PINGU doesn't die. Good thing there isn't a known clan killer in the clan, right?

I'll be more pissed if you kill the clan without me being able to witness it.

That being said, the last few weeks Ryan hasn't been to involved and there aren't that many other leaders. Having seen a few implosions first hand (see: AOD, SSGS, -MLP-, PBKAC(gently caress you, pbkac is dead), it is pretty much the early stages of a clan dying.

Huh, I guess I must be getting kicked out before that starts - I suppose I'm usually the reason for the clan leadership kicking it. Ryan was perfectly happy playing ARMA 3 before the campaign and after that terribly boring war.

I'll try to let the clam live until you get back to drive your shiny new tank. Can't wait too long though since I have a reputation to consider.

For some reason, after taking our designated province, my clan still failed it's mission and it looks like WG won't compensate us for a bug that they acknowledge. :suicide:

If they are going to make us fight for clan fame instead of player fame, they should at least have their poo poo in order.

I was just writing a post complaining about how I've barely managed to win four games out of twelve this morning because this week is absolute hell in WoT for me. My win rate has been closer to 30% than my global WR of 51.4%, regardless of the tank I'm in or if I'm platooned. Not because I've been playing differently, but because team after team is full of people who just never do any damage. I mean, my platoon-mate and I bought discount Jagdtiger 88s from Kinguin last weekend and we've still not managed a win in them after ten games. It is like playing an entirely different game to two weeks ago. One where my actions are entirely irrelevant to the (almost constantly negative) outcome.
Seriously, almost every loving game looks like this:



Then my last game was won for our team not by my four kills and 1200 damage, or the efforts of the team members who could be bothered to click red tanks, but by the top tier ARL bot who spent the entire game on his spawn point and only fired when the enemy artillery came to cap. This game is preposterous.

I know it's just an aberrant run of bad luck on a random matchmaker, but at the moment I am tempted to just give up on Tanks as a whole, which is a shame.

My last 3 failtoons have appeared to be precisely this. In one, I one-shot the UE57 in my T20 and the Easy Eight proceeds to whine at me, saying that it was his kid brother and now he was crying. I've put them both on my hit list.

I am pretty sure that clans that could field more than thirty players a night were supposed to split in two for the duration of the campaign. PINGU has around forty dudes going for the tank, and it'll be difficult to balance everyone for fame. Anything above 45 people seems like it'd be nearly impossible to get enough fights.

Tbh at 7k battles and you are only just getting into tier 10 battles where as tier 6 you can carry like a mother, at higher tiers you just do as much as you can. The Jagdtiger cant carry hard as its speed stops it being able to relocate when needed, for instance on a tier 9 battle last night we pushed hard in a wolfpack of mediums and a really good player in a jagdtiger didnt make a single shot as he couldnt keep up ith the rest of the team. PS I bought mine at the same time 60% wins

give it a couple of days for the real fireworks to start. squabbling over these early battles is one thing but the last couple of nights you'll have clans guaranteed 15 free tanks choosing who gets them out of 30+ guys. it's only been 2 days so far and already we've got people not showing up and getting others to sock puppet for them
