I'm looking to pick up a Tier 7/8 credit grinding tank - the catch is I get really loving bored of slower vehicles like TDs and HTs so I'd prefer a medium. So which of the premium mediums would make effective credit grinders? I've heard the super pershing is fried garbage but the rest aren't really mentioned in the paste.

The FCM 50t and AMX CDC are both pretty cool mediums.

Ugh, fix your XVM preferences so it's showing WN8 (or WN7 or WN6 if you're Hellsau, I can't even remember which one he thinks is good) instead of Wargaming's useless ratings. Go to the XVM website, log in, click settings. Also, that looks like my team in 70% of the matches I load into, with maybe a bit fewer reds.

Its funny because I have been trying to figure out what all of those numbers do, and preferable remove some of those columns so they take up less of my screen. edit: yeah I dont give a poo poo about or understand (or both) the first, third, fifth, or seventh columns and could probably replace them with just a win8 column.

It's also really hard to make a reliable overall metric given the data that is available via the wargaming api. The people working on WN9 on wotlabs are seriously considering dropping the attempt to make an overall metric and only use WN9 as a recent stat, in which case personal rating would become the default overall rating.

Go to the XVM website, log in, click settings. I just went to 'settings' and found a flag setting, along with choice of country. I know I'll find out the answer to my next question once I can log back in and play a match, but I need to know sooner whether other players will actually see my name with an israeli flag next to it. I must know now. Tell me such a beautiful thing can be possible. /edit: Oh my loving god, it's beautiful.

I had a CDC hull down rape me yesterday. It looked liked his shots were coming from below the crest of the hill and I had no shots on him. French tanks either have all the depression or none of it.

Left to right: Average tier in garage (rounded up I believe), total battles, rating, overall win rate; battles in tank, win rate in tank, damage ratio in tank. It's this last one that lets you know that your two platooned arties, with damage ratios of 1.9 and 2.4 in their arties (low HP, huge alpha), are really bad at playing those tanks.

I've casually completed some of these campaign missions for the Shtug (you see, it is a witty portmaneau of 'poo poo' and 'Stug IV', for, the Stug IV is poo poo as I've been assured) and was too ignorant to notice that there's also a set of missions for SPGs. Do I need to buy back my, uh...whatever that SPG after the Hummel is, or can I gimmick-do these missions in my FV304?

RanKizama posted:The LT missions have been a complete pain in the rear end for me. A lot of them are just too team dependent. I rebought my Luchs to try and make it go a little easier. The SPG ones are actually pretty easy since they reworked the missions. Actually finished the first batch last night with my M12. Now I just gotta either ace SPG-15 or start on the last half of the LT missions for my Stug. They fixed so the LT-15 missions are both spotting and own damage.

Yeah, LT-15 can still be a bitch when you keep getting the usual kind of teams that just refuse to shoot at spotted things. I finally aced it with quite a margin in one magical RU251 game in Murovanka where I got like 5k assist damage and almost 2k direct damage, and the goal is 4k combined.

And thank you If I've done everything correctly it should just replace the XVM stuff while leaving all your other mods untouched. I haven't tested it yet, so you should make a backup copy of your res_mods folder to restore if something breaks.

I eventually gave up trying to spot things for my retard teammates to refuse to shoot and did the first LT-15 by doing 3.7k direct damage in a 13-90. I used a poo poo-ton of gold though, and I still couldn't get the win.

I had a 3.5k WN8 35% WR and lost about 800k yesterday trying to do the stupid LT-15 for the Stug. 3 3,600 combined games in a row with the 13 90. Still haven't finished it. I am 20% of the way towards the Lorraine though (amx 30 is already unlocked.)

Just keep at it, and remember that sometimes you should hold your shot to reap the spotting rewards. At least you don't have to actively sabotage your own team anymore and hold all your shots.

I am debating whether or not to spend the 15$ for the A45 I unlocked yesterday. I mean there is no doubt it's a poo poo tank but on the other hand "gotta catch em all". No way in hell would I try to get it for free, your a certified loon if you try that.

Nordick posted:Not the last three, just the last ones. In other words, as long as you complete LT-15, MT-15, HT-15 and TD-15 with honors, you don't have to touch the SPG missions at all to get the reward tank. Yeah, I meant to say the final missions of the other three mission lines, worded that a bit dumb. I've been taking out my FV304 for a spin to snag a few credits on the SPG missions as well and japanese Tigers are currently my favorite thing to shoot at. Their drivers are just that much dumber than regular pubbie Tiger drivers, it seems.
