I miss Port. :(

The map did not have much going for it. Arty had one of two spots to be CB the second they fire, Heavy and slow mediums had two spots they could do and fast mediums/lights/suicidal pubbies had 4 or 5. The problem with the map is that it was limited in possibilities.

With that being said, I do miss port.

If they can't design maps, how do you expect them to judge them?

Overlord is great though - hopefully we can get more maps like it.

If you don't like Prokhorovka it's because you're either bad at spotting mechanics or (if you're in a brick with no camo at all) it's because your team doesn't have anyone that's good at spotting mechanics (never play without a platoon). It's pretty much spotting mechanics: the map and platoons of good mediums (or good TD's+good scout platoons) tend to be incredibly dominating on it.

Are there usually goons (or at least not terrible pubbies) on the PBKAC TS server that is listed in post#2 of the thread? Because playing in platoons is great, when you actually have people to play with.

Well to give you a real answer, there are still goons that play in PBKAC, but part of their TS is closed off because of clan wars secrets. All the goons are in different clans now too, so unless your friends list is big the goons channel is the best bet.

They had one where you had to draw a map concept and you'd win gold and maybe they'd implement it. I doubt it went anywhere.

I only have like 2 battles in the 30p, and I think it has a lot of promise. The gun hits like a freight train, I got some hilarious fluke bounces, and it has some speed. It was what I was hoping the Leopard Proto would be, since you can actually depress the gun too. If you get a 7-9 match, the tank simply cleaves through ANYTHING you come across.

What the contest? I got 5k gold. Three people had actual good stuff they put effort into that they submitted after I submitted my entry and rightly won.

I just wanted the Type 59 but I guess free gold never hurt.

It's just a collection of mostly lovely 'illegal' mods. Only a couple would be very useful and all of them are only cheats in the sense that they give you access to more/better information than you'd normally have. None of them can make you auto pen all tanks or anything.

Shitlords who don't understand how to play the game because they are:

A) Mentally retarded
B) Just mildly mentally retarded
C) Just don't have a loving clue what they are doing

Assume that if you do well you are cheating. Good players do not exist, only cheaters.
