I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
I feel like the last year will be weird for a lot of people because of artillery missions.

If I look at my stats over the last two months the 261 is one of my most played tanks with a 35% WR. gently caress artillery, gently caress missions, and gently caress WG.

My stats have gone from ok to terribad just due to these missions as it forces me to play what I'm positively poo poo at, high tier American lights, as I have a 49% winrate in my m41 and 45% in my t49. :saddowns:

48% WR -> 53% WR
890 WN8 -> 1500

Still can't win in my M103 which is sitting at 44% WR when I average 57-60% in my other heavies.

I've got 1,781 games since I started replaying in April. The top three most played tanks were the Church III followed by the Black Prince and the T30.

My win rate for the past few months has increased to 48.74% but my overall win rate barely budged. Most of the stats didn't move that high actually.

The one thing that'll be a constant no matter how much I improve is declining average spotting. I no longer spend hours on end doing scouting death races.

What? This thing is loving garbage. Slower and less turny than a normal T-34. It takes 5000 XP to unlock an engine that gives it TWENTY whole horsepower. It is a loving joke. It is completely worthless against all the tier 7s it faces...they are all faster, have better armor, and obviously way better guns.

Now I have BIA, Sixth Sense, Snap Shot, Smooth Ride and Situational Awareness. I only spent gold on my commander to keep the Sixth Sense perk. Once I get my other three crew members back up to three skills, I can start training up camo. I'm excited to have actual useful skills on the tank which accounts for about 25% of my games overall!

Didn't realize how hosed you get on spotting. Did 2k spotting damage for only 275 xp in a Chaffee (tier 8 game). Scouting is definitely a lot harder than other gameplay, and kills my stats. On the other hand, my first 4 months playing aren't terrible, right? Right??

Huge caveat, this may be bullshit, but I believe that spotting exp is divided among the people who were spotting that target. So you'd get a better reward if you were the only person spotting a target that received 1k of damage than if two of you were.

WitchFetish posted:

If you need a change in what you copy/paste, may I recommend going with "which one do you think is worst? Poland, Wargaming or ISIS?". You should get some good mileage out of it, and you can always add "allahu ackbar" if it feels like your trolling is losing speed.

You'd have to change the Poland part here; there's not as much anti-Polish sentiment. It'd have to be, like, Mexico, or Iran, or Russia, or whatever. Also, given the political inclinations of the average pubbie I think they'd just answer "ISIS" so it wouldn't even pass as a trolling attempt. I mean of course they're not going to answer "Wargaming" since that's the wonderful company that brought them the game in which they get to be terrible in 58% of their matches but they still play "for fun."

Pornographic Memory posted:

Yeah I know. I don't really like a lot of the extra stuff though and just stick with Locastan's minimap mod so I can see where tanks were last spotted, and to know my view range and the draw range. I guess it helps that I'm spergy enough to be able to roughly guess what tank just shot me from how much damage I took and knowing where this tank or that was, or wasn't, spotted, so damage logs aren't too necessary.

But the minimap stuff you just described is originally from XVM. And again, some or all of it is now built-in anyway. I mean none of this really matters, my point was just that you actually do find most of XVM useful, so don't dismiss it just because you don't want to see stats.

Plus, new troll idea: say at the beginning of the battle, "Yess, 75% chance to win." Someone calls you on it, and you respond, "I'm using the real CTW, the one that takes into consideration the hidden Wargaming rigged MM bias stat." The average pubbie will believe this because of course the game is rigged against them which is why they can't win more than 45% of the time.

SU-100Y: comedy gun, surprising mobility. Poor size/camo and armor, although the huge mantlet blocks a surprising amount of stuff. I think it's worth having just for the pubbie tears; it's like a derivative of the KV-2 (the best sniper in the game.)

I have started switching some of my tanks with 400+ view range, bia, and view range skills over to vents. This really only effects my better 4+ skill crews, though the girl and berlin crews should all get the same treatment without much issue.

The SU-100Y is good for comedy, but it is not a good tank for grinding a crew. It has a lot of trade offs to make up for the hilarity of a carrying a 130mm gun.
