Just get repairs so that you can be on your way quicker if arty splashes you. I'm more entertained than anything when I get racked. It's happened twice.

Just in case anyone's wondering how good the Japanese heavy tank line is, here's a sample 1st class mastery result for the O-I:

That's just the tier 6 (and maybe 5), not the whole Jap heavy line.

Dude bounced two shots and penned one in their FCM onto my B2) by an ARMED player when I said nothing in chat. They simply didn't want my winrate, that I clearly obtained through hacking, to be so high. This was on the old lovely version of El Halluf as opposed to the new lovely version of El Halluf, so it's been a while, but it does happen. Pretty sure I posted the replay of it way back when.

Did the kill 20 LT's mission in a hetzer and a luchs. Hadn't played the luchs (nor hetzer) for years, long before it got the lil 10 round gun, but a fair few people seem to love them so I thought I'd give it a spin. This tank is so much fun. It's especially insane when it's top tier. Hetzer remains as it always has. Aced it in a round where everyone insisted on facing away from me and I could one shot four of them. Hetzers gonna hetz.

The actual tank on tank combat is subpar to me compared to WoT. However, in the qol department it is so far ahead of WoT. For years ppl have bitched about just plain stupid as poo poo in WoT and serb would just go lol gently caress you.

Tank Guards Strike Force In the fall of 1942, Soviet high command created a new combat instrument for the Red Army: Guards Independent Heavy Tank Regiments. These units were to serve as a battering ram on the offensive or as the anchor for a defense. These regiments were composed of 21 tanks and auxiliary units. In total, the regiment contained about 220 men. This structure remained almost unchanged for the remainder of the war. Composition of a heavy tank regiment in 1944: Commander's tank Company HQ: -Political department -Technical department -Quartermaster department -Operational department -Control platoon -Sapper platoon -Maintenance platoon Regimental medical team 1st company (commander IS-2) -1st platoon (2x IS-2) -2nd platoon (2x IS-2) 2nd company (commander IS-2) -1st platoon (2x IS-2) -2nd platoon (2x IS-2) 3rd company (commander IS-2) -1st platoon (2x IS-2) -2nd platoon (2x IS-2) 4th company (commander IS-2) -1st platoon (2x IS-2) -2nd platoon (2x IS-2) SMG company (94 men) Technical service company In a little over two years, six types of tanks served in these regiments. Churchill The British Churchill infantry tank was delivered to the USSR through the Lend-Lease program. Due to a lack of other heavy tanks, the first breakthrough regiments were equipped with these tanks. Most units received Churchill III and Churchill IVs. The Churchill was a well armoured, but clumsy tank. Its 6-pounder (57 mm) gun was adequate at the time for fighting German tanks, but was lacking against fortifications. Regiments armed with Churchills fought on all parts of the front until the end of the war. During the battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943, a successful ram of a Tiger tank was performed by a Churchill. KV-1 A Soviet tank, well protected and armed with a 76 mm gun. At the first stages of the war, it could destroy any German tank, while being immune to most German guns. The KV-1 was produced at the Kirov factory in Leningrad. After evacuation due to the blockade, production resumed in Chelyabinsk. In 1942, with the arrival of more powerful guns and Tiger tanks, the KV-1 became obsolete. In addition, the tank had serious problems with its transmission due to its large weight. Production was cancelled in favour of the lighter and more reliable KV-1S. However, these tanks fought until the end of the war. KV-1S The letter S in the name of the tank stands for "speedy". The vehicle entered production in 1942 as a modernized KV-1. Due to reduced armour thickness, the tank's weight dropped to 42.5 tons, giving it good mobility. A new turret was designed for this tank, housing a 76 mm gun. The tank entered production in the summer of 1942, but did not last for very long. As with the KV-1, its gun was insufficient for fighting the new Tiger tanks. KV-1S production stopped in 1943, but these tanks remained in the army until the end of the war. KV-85 A serious drawback of the KV-1S was its 76 mm gun, which was no longer impressive in 1943. The KV-85 became an intermediate step between this tank and the new IS. About 150 of these tanks were produced in Chelyabinsk. The vehicle had an altered KV-1S hull with a new turret and an 85 mm gun. The same gun was used on the upcoming IS tank, but development was going slowly. IS-1 This tank was designed at the Chelyabinsk Kirov factory under the supervision of Joseph Kotin. Its appearance was heralded by the arrival of Tiger and Panther tanks, as a result of which Soviet tank forces lost their edge over the Germans. The IS-1 was also called IS-85 after its gun caliber. The age of this tank did not last long, as the development of a tank with a 122 mm gun started almost at the same time as work on this tank. About 130 IS-1 tanks were produced at Chelyabinsk, then the tank gave up its place on the assembly line for the better armed IS-2. IS-2 This heavy tank was superior among all that were used by heavy tank regiments. The IS-2 was armed with a powerful 122 mm gun, making it effective not only against enemy tanks, but also fortifications. The combat debut of the IS-2 was during the spring of 1944. These tanks fought across the entire front and, due to the nature of the breakthrough regiment, were always in the center of events. Over 3500 IS-2 tanks were built. After the end of WWII, the tank was exported and was used for about 50 years by countries allied with the USSR.

So nothing that surprising, but I felt like posting this: http://wotreplays.eu/site/2194135?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542  Also, I bought one of these things, and copied over my WoT directory to see how it'd work: http://sellout.woot.com/offers/monster-128gb-mini-solid-state-drive It benchmarks at about 30/140 w/r sequential. It loads the game assets quickly, but occasionally has micro-stutters which as far as I'm concerned mean it's not an ideal substitute for a real internal SSD. It's better than an HDD, so if it's all you can afford it might still be something to look into, but it wasn't as impressive as I thought it could be.

Freakin'  at goons being salty about skill-affecting emblems. They have gazeth too long unto the pubbie, and the pubbie hath gazeth back.I for one am looking forward to pimping up my tanks with random obnoxious stickers (even moreso than I already do) and harvesting pubbie tears by reminding them that having dice and chili peppers on your tanks is the mark of a good player. It's no different from firing prem ammo at paper tanks just out of spite. Just buy them with credits for whatever tanks you're using at the time, they aren't that expensive.

Desuwa posted:SSDs show their worth when restarting the game after it crashes during a battle. Also make sure to have XVM auto-login, skip the intro, and remember your server. Yeah, this. I had Wot on my HDD and assuming there was no additional activity, I'd load during a regular game with the whole 30 seconds to spare. It got slightly worse as more and more tanks got updated to HD models, where I'd get in with 20 seconds left. After crashing I'd lose up to a minute of gameplay. But with SSDs, if I'm fast about restarting, I can actually get back in with a second or so countdown remaining.

So I am kind of glad I got to play the PzB2, I don't really like it. It is an amazing tank but I don't think dumping the amount of money WG usually ask for it is worth it though. With that being said, check out this game:   Replay: http://wotreplays.com/site/2193538

It is made clear that this is a derogatory comment and that rerolls are bad people. Pubbies then start using reroll in place of old classics like rear end in a top hat or fuckwit or whatever, because they think reroll is the new cool term and they must use it. Pubbies are loving dumb.
