Wow I am lucky I still had my "Loader" around from my AMX M4 45 (great tank). I was using the 50 100 to train up a 4 man crew to eventually train over into the AMX 30, however, I did not do my research because the crew in the 50 100 is Commander, Gunner, Driver, and Radio Operator; the crew in the AMX 30 is Commander, Gunner, Driver, and Loader. When I bought a CDC I had trained the AMX M4 45 Loader into the CDC's loader and brought in my BatChat crew for the rest of it, so now he can train to be the AMX 30's loader and I'll move up my 13 90 crew instead of moving the 50 100 crew over. tl;dr I'm an idiot who didnt research before investing time in training a crew. Any chance the French will get a second heavy line one day? AAAAA! Real Muenster fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Sep 3, 2015 |

What the hell, why do high tier Japanese heavies have 2 loving Radio operators. Are they so big, that the crew members are in different time zones and require radio contact to communicate?

I think they use the Radio position in place of other positions not represented in WoT, e.g. machine-gunner, co-driver, fluffer, etc.

I started playing again just now for the first time all summer. Pubbies are still loving atrocious. That said, I enjoy the t2 and t3 japanese heavies. The only thing is that I miss all the information XVM gives me. Is there a new one out or what?

Most of the core stuff is there so you're not playing naked, but they're still working out all the bugs.

I am at the O-I exp. The tank just feels like the worst tier 5 heavy in the game. I also get the feeling something is broke regarding HE splash damage against it. In that it will take full damage from splash. I have had to put on the super heavy spall liner to try and survive a single splash from arty or KV2's Edit: I take back every mean thing I have said about this tank

Tank is surely going to be nerfed though, at least the HE shells. I've been playing with just HE and getting 2k damage most battles. You one shot almost every tier 6 and a lot of tier 7s from the side, even blasting one at a hull down T29 will do 2-300 damage.

The tier 5 Jap Heavy is surprisingly mobile for being a giant trashcan. Also got into a knife fight with a churchill III and got my poo poo owned then realized the armor is only 75mm thick and flat.

There are so many tier X's on trying to get the e25 mission that playing my tier 8s and 9s is pretty painful at the moment. It's probably the first event missions I've bothered to go for so luckily I've got my isu-152 to farm damage with.

More than 50% tier X's in that game. Also Malinovka.

On the patch- I really like the changes to Redshire. I have only played from the S/E base so far, but the 1/2 line is actually a viable location now. There are good fights all over the map. Apparently the chimps with the typewriters finally got one. OTOH- why the gently caress did WG feel the need to screw with the loading and tab screens? I have to edit my goddamned XVM configuration to unfuck it, and that is an enormous pain in the rear end. Related- why hasn't someone made a goddamned XVM editor? The online one has been obsolete for what, 2 years? Come on, nerds! Haven't bothered with the Jap heavies yet. I think I will wait until they get the buff they seem to need before I bother. Last but not least- unlocked the 50b last night, and should finish up unlocking the 183 tonight  I can only afford one right now, and am leaning toward the 183. I already have a 57 heavy, but don't have a huge alpha tier 10 TD (I just have the WTF 100, which I rarely play because I am exceptionally bad in it).

Sure, it's a giant slow brick, but the armor's not unreasonable and it has a few decent gun choices. The stock 120 has such a high arc that you can autoaim and lob shells over hills. BadLlama posted:The tier 5 Jap Heavy is surprisingly mobile for being a giant trashcan. Also got into a knife fight with a churchill III and got my poo poo owned then realized the armor is only 75mm thick and flat. Yeah, but the armor is pretty uniform all-around, so you can angle aggressively. The Church 3 only has 110 pen on his 57 mm AP shells so he'd most likely have to switch to APCR to have any chance of penning. Bort Bortles posted:I'm not sure about the Tier5, but the 7 is hilariously large: WHY DO SUCH A SMALL PEOPLE NEED SUCH GIGANTIC TANKS?!?

Just give it a few days, mod authors will get everything up and running again. While the jap HTs start at 3, they really start at tier 5 so you can jump in there. Seem ridiculous but fun so far. The 183 is mediocre, the 50B is great even if you have the 57. If you want a TD go for the E3 or something.

The AMX 50b is significantly better than the T57. The hull armor confounds pubbies - point at the enemy tanks and pubbies will aim for your incredibly good front armor intead of the paper turret because French tanks are paper right? Also APCR is useful and HEAT is poo poo. e: is the E3 cupola still nerfed to worthlessness? I haven't had the mental fortitude to play it.

Every time play the 50b I marvel at how much better armored it is than the E5 simply due to the stupidity of pubbies and not having the stupid tier ten American tank module layout. Frontal racks with poor module health are super awful.

So last night I tagged a TD on my team after he intentionally shot me twice. The first time he took out my engine, and the second time my gun, not to mention 40% of my HP. After I shot him he started screaming and calling me bad names in chat, and I was like, "calm down, you shot me on pumps twice. What did you expect?" Then his platoon mate says, "yeah because you aren't up there with the is-7s." So basically in the minds of these people, totally reasonable to tag a player twice and wreck his poo poo if he's in an FCM 50t and not on the front line in a tier X match, and I'm a dick for tagging them back--once. So 6th sense. Maybe it should be changed to a skill and only give you % chance of noticing you've been detected.
