I need an NA invite, on Troika. Also, the ATGMs the MBT-70 and Terminator fire utterly wreck dumb people and it gets them so angry. ![]()

I spent the entire PVE match arguing with some drooling idiot over the secondary objectives being on a timer that expires. Christ how do these morons even get out of bed without hurting themselves.

The good thing about AW is I can completely divorce myself from giving a poo poo whether i play like poo poo or others play like poo poo. It's actually very liberating from when I play WoT where my mentality becomes the exact opposite.

It's actually very liberating from when I play WoT where my mentality becomes the exact opposite. This is exactly why I can play more games in a row than in WoT. Losing in WoT is so punishing, even when I play well. So raging at my team was always in the back of my mind. In AW I really don't give much of a poo poo if my team plays poorly. Personal performance is reward enough - finally a game that understands this. Creating an environment where I have to rely on pubbies for a large reward just breeds toxicity. This mitigates that. Good. Not sure if that was your point, but it reminded me of this.

Christ how do these morons even get out of bed without hurting themselves. I had two different pubbies in two different matches send me off to the last objective as I was in the fastest vehicle... just so that they could run into the cap circle of the last point just as I was about to arrive at said objective, which always resulted in a whole army spwaning around me and killing me off in time. Resulting in the loss of the secondary objective, a death penalty... and in one case the loss of the match as the helpful pubbie than proceeded to 'help me', which means he ran off the cap zone, resetting the timer half way through, giving the AI enough time to close with him and dispatch him too. ![]() And I thought I would not get frustrated by pubbies in PvE, there were just not enough of them during EA it seems.

There is not tank slot limit, so no reason to sell any tanks, more like Warthunder in this regard and less like WoT.

Let's talk resources for map strategies. First, the Armored Warfare site itself has some good write-ups for which portions of the map favor different types of tanks (MBT, AFV, etc.) and is useful for figuring out where exactly you might want to drive at the start of each battle. Some of the maps also include color coding to easily identify areas of the map discussed in each article. Example: ![]() And here's some tactical positioning maps to help you find useful hull-down locations, sniping spots, scouting locations, etc. (source: aw-guide.com, the links also include close-up shots of some of the positions, including short write-ups of map strategy) Cold Strike ![]() Ghost Field ![]() Narrows ![]() Pipelines ![]() Port Storm ![]() River Point ![]() Roughneck ![]() Missing: Reactor & Lost Island And lastly a note on the maximum accuracy stat since what it does is nebulous, as it lacks a proper tooltip. It would appear that maximum accuracy effects projectile dispersion and not maximum reticle size, as many of us originally thought. ![]() ![]() Darkmoon2k fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Oct 3, 2015 |

thanks now i continue to not know what maximum and minimum accuracy really mean.

So uh, is this game actually any good? I like all things tanks, but if this is just a reskinned WoT, I'm not so sure I want to play it. Dezztroy fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Oct 3, 2015 |

Agrajag posted:thanks now I continue to not know what maximum and minimum accuracy really mean. The circle that gets bigger and smaller as you move, turn, etc. indicates your accuracy. Your shot is supposed to hit somewhere in that circle. So if part of a tank is fully inside a circle, you are guaranteed a hit. Minimum accuracy is how "small" this aiming circle can get. The smaller this is the better (thus 'increases' in minimum accuracy are good. The smaller the circle, the better a chance of you hitting a target you have. Maximum accuracy is how "big" the circle can be at any given point. Usually while driving the circle is the biggest. If you increase your maximum accuracy you make this circle start out smaller and only able to reach a certain size. With this you effectively decrease aiming time since your circle already starts out smaller. As a quick rule of thumb - For sniping vehicles you want a better minimum accuracy. For Vehicles that move you want a smaller maximum accuracy. Same goes for lowering your aiming time. e: As a notice, I am not sure if lowering your maximum accuracy decreases your aiming time or if this always a fixed number. In any case it helps for snapshots. Michaellaneous fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Oct 3, 2015 |

You're free to download it and give it a try since it is, you know, free to play. edit: the use of terms such as bloom and accuracy being used separately is a much better descriptor than maximum and minimum accuracy. this is the one of the things that kinda bugs me in AW.

I like that they're not going the Wargaming route of paid garage slots, but in terms of overall gameplay and grindiness of progression it's pretty similar to WoT. Right now I'm digging it casually just bombing around in PvE missions.

I really appreciate being able to play fun, speedy tanks right off the bat instead of having to grind through some dumb post WW1 shitbox that goes 20kph. Being able to get into an iconic T-55 in only a few games is a big boost as well.

It seems that some of the 500G permanent-for-all-tanks decals are bugged. If you buy it and stick it on a tank it won't show up in-match and it asks you to purchase it again if you try to apply it to any other tank. When you log out then back in, the decal is gone and so is your gold.

I cant wait for the tears when the PL-01 is implemented. In real life its a light tank with a 105.

So far I've not only spotted XM1s, but two Challenger 1s out there ![]() And man, the Chieftain gun is possibly a nerf gun. Even the upgraded Sabot is bloody useless against the hordes of MBT70. HESH *pew* 56-113 dmg *pew* Might just go back to the T-64 and get me a T-72... but on the upside I rarely die in the Chief unless I accidentally bump into half the enemy team out in the open and eat 2 ATGMs before I can take cover.

I'm really hoping the PL-01's magic polish stealth armor is modeled, I'd love to drive around in a 105-armed tank with an absurdly high camo value. Yeah, but I mean I know alot of polish guys who believe that it's some kind of super unstoppable futuristic MBT, and not just a light vehicle with some cool camo. A guy I work with used to talk endlessly at lunch about the polish army and got real weird about it, and kind of creepy at times. He shouted at me and got pretty mad when I showed him the PL01 wasn't what he thought. Nationalism and video games don't mix I guess. But its still nice that the polish, who I assume are going to be the biggest group on EU if WoT was something to go by, will get a tonk. Also I'm running a lovely twitch stream and there'll be an archive of it later if anybody wants to see AW and is waiting for launch : http://www.twitch.tv/chickenwyngz
