Autoaim is something that's really useful but that shouldn't be encouraged. I use it all the time but if someone asks when they should use autoaim the answer is never. Even I gently caress up and use it when I shouldn't, though since I started using it more it's been a net positive. But for players who don't already know when they shouldn't it's just a huge drag on their performance.

Finally hit the 6K mark in my M3 Lee yesterday. It was sitting on 5,998 for about a month because I got distracted with grinding other tanks and beating on people in my Bromwell.

In my Pattons, T-54, Bulldog or CDC I use it all the time and it is excellent in those cases where you need to peek and shoot around corners and slopes. It is hilarious in those occasions where you autoaim on a tank at maximum draw range while fireing on the move and actually hit it. Those occasons happens more than they should. Bonus: 4k damage on the CDC is apparently only first class. WTF are you doing in these tanks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlw-43ORX5s Also, the 5k T-54 game from earlier. The brawl at the start is glorious and 3 minutes in I am already at 3.3 k damage. Also shows how I use the autoaim mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axia2eTnEEM

The Ke Ho (along with the Pz. III) is the only tier 4 I'll play. It is so much fun, has normal matchmaking and a really solid gun. Definitely get it.

The "turret ring" of the MG cupola has some 230-260 thick areas, although they are small. Take someone into a training room and try it out.

I'm getting penned through the "mantlet" of the E3 cupola. So far, an E3 AP shell (295 pen), E5 HEAT (340 pen) and E100 HEAT (334 pen). Those shells were not threats before the HD model, and being penned there is a major catastrophe since the entire point of the E3 is supposed to be great front armor with only the roof weakspot if you can hide the lower plate.

This is a little unsettling, going to have to test it when I get home. We might need to change some strats if this is correct...

You should retire that thing now and leave it at 6,000 games forever, just as a monument to being stubborn. Amazing.

That reminds me that I need to buy some camo now that I have the gold. I was thinking of changing my awful name, but 2,500 gold is a lot. So instead I think I am going to c/p "I have the name of a nazi war criminal in my name, please report it as offensive" in allchat.

Speaking of anime, would the real reason for getting a Tai Ga Ru be for crew training the eventual Japanese heavy line? And should one, naturally, fill it with a female crew to have a true waifu tank crew?

unlawfulsoup posted:The tank literally answers a question no one ever asked. Hey kids, want a Black Prince that trades armor for a little speed? Most of the British heavy line is answering bad questions with poor decisions. What if we put a bunch of armor on a tank and weighed it down, but didn't put in a good engine? What if the armor only covered a small bit in the front? What if we just didn't bother with armor on the side? The WG answered with, what if we made them DPM tanks in a game where that doesn't matter that much?

I don't think your name offends the wehraboos the way my original one did (WarCriminalErwinRommel) which lasted a few months and got someone telling me what a great man he really was every 2nd battle or so. If you do get it banned WG will be extremely picky on what you can have to replace it. For example seemingly harmless ones like Fatbeard are out for whatever reason. And I spent most of the day playing my T-34 to unlock a MT-25 but didn't realise it was already elited from before they changed the tech tree so after about 20 games I started wondering wtf, I should have got enough exp by now. Turns out I had accelerate crew training turned on all that time. Crew's looking good at least.

I can confirm this isn't quite how it works. If you get automatically renamed, you just ask WGNA support for a rename of your choice, and they'll ask for 3 possible names. They'll then change it to the first acceptable choice. That's how my brother ended up as The One True Hellsau.

This is why you never give up, never surrender, always carry pubbies. I think it was a ~5.7k WN8 game or some poo poo like that: http://wotreplays.eu/site/2052594?secret=359122b185259304aaada9a4f7a425c2 This next battle wasn't anything special, except for ~10:10. It shows how you can use an E-50 to turn a T-54 into an Obj 416: http://wotreplays.eu/site/2052597?secret=359122b185259304aaada9a4f7a425c2 That might be worth animated GIFing for anyone who's good at that sort of thing.

The drat "set poo poo on fire" mission in the medium tank line for the bad Stug is driving me insane. I only have a Pz III//IV and a Panther/M10 do do them. Wait a minute, I have a T-54, how did I loving forget that? Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Jul 31, 2015 |
