A) What are you doing playing with Tazilon? And B) I refuse to believe Tazilon was driving anything other than the VK2801. :colbert:

Also I've seen Kewei in-game recently, although I suppose he could've renamed and someone else with only decent stats took his original name I guess. :shrug:


The real Tazilon don't have a T110E4 and probably don't try to average 5k per game.
Interesting and horrible set of games. Me and the E3 don't match at all, but "Tazilon" wanted something with armour.

My win rate drop from 55% to 50% is complete! Now let's hope I can turn it around soon enough to keep it above 50%.

I have a data question: does public data on the true win rate distribution exist? I'd like an empirically derived dataset to get an idea of how terrible at this game I've gotten.

In other news, what's with light tanks? Why does the grind seem so much easier when driving them?

i'm not surprised to see so many people driving the 59-patton already

100mm hull armor
no preferential matchmaking
fatton turret with huge tumor, 370m view range and chinese gun depression
250 pen HEAT premium shells

only $54.99, what a loving bargain

edit: i'm glad i have an actual type 59 though, this seems like a good time to drive it so you can rub in everybody's faces that you paid less money for a better tank they can't get

Moving acc is fantastic at 0,14/0,12, which is T10-quality. Certainly wouldn't pay 55 bucks for it but those bloom values make the tank much better than it looks at first glance.

Does anyone know where XVM keeps mission-related settings? I managed to set my mission menu to 'heavies' and 'Available for completion', which somehow kills my connection and throws me off the server, possibly because I completed all Heavy missions (for the Stug) already. I'd like to change that poo poo manually, but I've no idea where and how right now.

72 dollars for a really really bad Tier 8 premium, wow. Just look at the loving gun stats; it is loving terrible.

Looks like a pretty standard US 90 mm gun. :shrug:

But you're right, the gun on my Type 59 is better.

You can raise your stats if you put Mentor on all your Commanders. Also, "data" is plural; "datum" is the singular form. HTH

Only if you're speaking Latin. In English "data" can be treated as a noncount noun and be used in the singular. Just another example of how you're wrong about everything. :owned:

Would the Rudy be a good invest if I would use it solely to generate credits?
I don't have any Russian mediums (and not planning to start soon) so the increased crew training would be of very little benefit...

Since I am running only USA tanks at the moment, the Super Pershing would be an alternative but I read that its credit making abilities are not that great but I could use the increased crew training for my medium tanks.

I think it makes fine credits. I average about 60k per match with premium. The thing about this tank is this: its not a medium tank. It plays nothing like a medium tank. Think pocket American heavy.

If you drive any of the big American heavies, you'll know how to use the Super Pershing and do well in it.

Even if the Patton came with a two skill crew I wouldn't buy it because I don't need a Chinese crew. I spent $70 on four good tanks and four good crews - why would I spend $55 on one bad tank and no crew?

I don't understand how you play mediums.

Rudy is a tier 6 medium. Roll around, shoot at tanks who aren't looking at you, occasionally blaze through 5 tanks like a nutter.
