The only reason I have a Tiger II right now is because when I started out, this first tier IV I could buy was the DW2 during an on track and continued to grind down that line because *~progress~* The second was the B1.

I sold my Tiger 2 with a smile on my face. Good tank, but not a keeper. Also, I wanted to try out my new wired internet connection, so I hopped into the T-127. I got called a cheater and got 9 kills.

I ground the Tiger 2 in Historical battles. Sure, I had 4 minute 59 second queue times for every match, but I also only faced hordes of tanks that couldn't damage me and got two or three shots. The greatest threat from the enemy was the M4 with 105mm - turns out a 1600 HP tier 8 with the long 88mm can accept 150 damage to two-shot the enemy in return. Then again Erlenburg is a totally lovely map to have to play a tank on so much.

Power creep seems to have hosed the Tiger 2 and now I'm debating if I want to sell it or not. I played a few games in it recently and it felt very underwhelming compared to a year and a half ago. I used to love the thing but now, ehhhhh.

Q&A posted:- Q: "Why can't you buff 113?!" A (balance developer): "If we buffed it then Maus would be the worst again..." When the Japanese heavies come out, they won't have to worry about either one of those being the worst. Plus the FV4005 is goddamn abysmal. No elevation at all.

Powercreep has definitely hosed the Tiger II. It used to be a lot better and could reasonably hold its own in T8/T9 battles. In fact, the highest exp game I ever got was 2800xp in a Tiger 2 in a T10 match.

My average damage in the Tiger 2 is at 84.88%, so I am waiting for the opportune moment to play in a platoon. Or I could get over my fixations and just go full gold.

Fronkey posted:I hated the DW2 so much I abandoned the whole German line. Funny thing about that - the DW2 is WAY better than the B1. The DW2 has one more AP pen which is whatever, but the B1 has 98 gold pen and the DW2 has 130! Being able to actually pen enemy tier 5 heavies instead of being totally useless against them is a big game. Also the stock BDR gun is pretty hilariously bad. At least you can unlock some sort of gun upgrade for the VK on another tank and just free XP the turret.

I sold my Tiger I a couple days ago with mixed feelings. On one hand, it's just a good tank, nothing super special, mostly because it has poor armor. On the other hand, it's SUPER easy to statpad in it -- I think I have the most Aces-to-games ratio in that tank.

On that note, is there any way to see how many Aces you have on a specific tank? I'd love to see how many I've picked up on the Matilda IV.

I used the 7.5cm with HE almost exclusively with the DW2 because I was too poor to afford 5cm gold rounds. PUBBIE LOGIC. It worked, I guess. Every tank I came across got tracked and module'd if not dead. As far as French heavies go... I got all the top modules on the Tiger I before I even got the ARL unlocked. I guess this illustrates the difference in difficulty for new players. Missing Name fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Aug 25, 2015 |

First time I've ever been accused of being a warpack player. Apparently being in a Bulldog and right clicking then left clicking on tanks is an abuse of game mechanics. The irony is that I don't even have any mods installed because I play so intermittently and am so lazy that I can't be asked to re-download them (what feels like) every time I play. No pictures, but I was just being a good little scout and staying alive long enough to be useful while poking my head up over some ridges now and again to spot reds. I saw the game slipping away then got an opportunity to knock out some wounded tanks pushing too hard too early, distracted others enough while arty and the TDs did their jobs, then killed an arty at the end. I ended up 4 kills, 2500 damage, 2400 spotting 1400 exp (no premium) and an Ace tanker badge on prokhorovka.

Okay well I ground out the armor blocking heavy mission real quick with the IS-6 and T32, but those tanks aren't the best at getting four kills so I think I'm going to break out the good old Churchill III for a game Well at least I got the Tetrarch.

I don't actually play low tiers as much as I'd like to. The anti-seal clubbing matchmaking really fucks tier 2-4 to death, I don't like playing with sub-100% crews, and paying 300-1000 gold to train crew is too much even for me. Though the fact that the Pz2J has more games played in it than a good chunk of the french line is pretty hilarious considering how much easier it is to obtain a regular tier 2 or 3 compared to the Pz2J. Saint Celestine posted:Ask someone about the Comet / SU-144 Why would they need to ask someone about the best tanks in the game? They should already know in their hearts how awesome the Game Winners are. e: well since we're linking terrible players' stats now: http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/0711/1001333047/ please look them up in game to see their damage per game. In the game I was in, I was in a B2 on Lakeville - he literally was hovering near me in a BT-7 Arti, not bothering to fire at enemies (but ramming/blocking me to make it slightly more awkward for me to murder pubbie in middle) and then sat on cap when their last tank was spotted in valley. Rather than come behind the dude and shoot it, he sat on cap. I asked him why he'd bother capping when it was 8v1, and he said "you go kill him then". Human players sometimes are significantly worse than bots. Negative 278 WN7.  these graph scales are too drat funny. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Aug 26, 2015 |

Percentage wise quite significant. I had a 500 something wn8 player in an M103 earlier tonight who, from out of the blue, started ranting about how people's "Wir 8" aren't actually individual, it's ALL because of their teams because it was a team game and thus can't be used to ascertain whether a single player is good or bad. He then proceeded to shoot HE and sit still in front of tier 10s.
