It isn't just Latin American clans. All nationalist clans are garbage, because nationalism is a disease that rots the mind and the will, giving people an excuse to not improve themselves. That lovely TEXAS clan, or those military "veteran" clans full of baby killers, or the fantasy nazi clans - they're all the same sort of awful player and awful teammate.

Play the rental and then discover that no, no it isn't, you should buy an actual Good Tank instead. Maybe the "Two-Headed Giant" they're releasing on the 26th will be a good premium tahahahaha just kidding it'll be the KV-5 again.

I got into it with some inbred window-licker "Ranger" from VET1 once. Sad to know they seem to all be that way, especially since I'm a former 11X (unassigned at the time of discharge) myself.

Who is the local tank model nerd here, Rossum? I bought a tank model to build and of the like 200 parts half of them are for making the road wheels and I said gently caress that I am not spending hours putting together loving road wheels, how do you do this part without killing yourself.

What are you building, a T-35? Most other kits have merely a few dozen parts for the suspension (tracks excluded).

After building very many tanks, the suspension is still my least favourite part. The solution is to buy tanks with simpler suspensions like T-34s and Pz38(t)s.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

After a bunch of really good games in the Hellcat this morning, I switched to the rental Scorpion to train my T67 crew (moved the original 2-skill crew into the Hellcat) back up to 100% and I've had an incredibly good day. The camo on this thing seems amazing. When my team implodes, I'm obviously hosed, but I've been averaging 1600 damage in the thing and something around 2300 WN8...it's...it's kinda fun, to be honest.

What were the reasons for it being so bad again?

It costs fifty loving dollars for a tank without preferential matchmaking that gets HEAT for its gold ammo and can never afford to be spotted at any range, and that will be instantly oneshot by any artillery shot that hits it directly.

Fifty US dollars is like twenty loafs of bread, or 200 Airheads, or like 27 ounces of Funyuns, or ten nights with your mom. It is a hefty amount of money to spend on the Scorpion.

Fair enough. The Chi-ri grind was pretty decent, way ahead of the loving a-44 and if you can stand the T28, it would have been nothing strange.
If you play to its gimmick, it was a decent grind.

I tend to prefer quicker tanks anyway, so the Chi-Ri wouldn't have been terrible in that respect compared to all the slow shitbox tier 8 TDs I'm grinding, but on the other hand that A-44 also has better mobility soooo....

Also, I think I decided I was going to grind the T28 (among others) because I'd have to go through the even slower T95; if I'm going to deal with that I can certainly deal with a less-slow version of the same vehicle.

frood posted:

Not only did I keep it, it's my go-to tank any time I'm platooning and they want to play tier 7s. To be honest the tank didn't really click for me until Hellsau threw out the "The 25/2 is the best tier 7 medium" line (which was before he found his precious VK3002D). Once I started playing it like that and not like a TD, it clicked for me.

I also have the T20 in my garage, which I rebought to fix my stats in (American mediums were my first line). The T25/2 is a far superior tank to the T20, the only appreciable thing the T20 brings to the table is more HP.

I'm probably going to need to rebuy the T29 so I can finish some of these T55 missions though, so maybe I'll like that more at tier 7 than the 25/2. I kinda doubt it because I like mediums more than heavies. My heavies are all tier 10 save the Conqueror and some of these kill XX 2 tiers higher or 1 tier higher or whatever bullshit missions get difficult to manage in the tier 10 "TDs around every corner" environment

Yeah, I actually was thinking about Hellsau's description of the T25/2 as well. I don't think even he still has it though. There are just far better tanks to keep around for fun/tier matching.

I haven't played the 25/2 in years - I sold it to buy the T28 Proto, because I didn't have a premium account (so this would be when I had less than 4000 games). It's been a while, and poo poo changed - gold ammo for credits, sigma changes making 20% of shots hit the edge of the circle is gone, and most recently #snapshotmeta. Even back then, the dumb T25/2 turret would randomly eat ISU shells because the model is broken. I didn't like it because it was a worse Hellcat, but the Hellcat was as good at outputting damage as most tier 8 mediums so a bad Hellcat is still pretty great. Hell I remember playing the T-44 a year and a half ago and just thinking, "man I wish this was the Hellcat's gun".

tl:dr the Hellcat used to be bananas and none of us will ever experience that magic again. See also pre-HEAT nerf 105mm M4/VK2801, tier 5 Schmalturm Pz4, broken gold Konisch VK3601h, LTraktor before newbies getting 100% crews and the initial matchmaking changes, old broken leFH (different from current broken leFH, 104 HEAT pen is poo poo), fast FV304, pre-Cruiser T18, etc.

104 heat is still workable though. I have used it with great success to kill off lts and e25s coming in to finish me off. Or for winning the game when there is only arty left. Not that reliable but shot gunning is hardly reliable in the first place.
Just the other day I nailed a type t34 for most of his health, whereupon he rammed himself on me and lost his remaining health. Gotta love that spall liner.

Final report for the A-44: Whatever small affection I was developing for the tank dissipated over the last few days I had it. A dozen bad battles in a row due entirely to the awful gun and terrible module placement. I thought I could make it the last little bit to the Obj. 416, but gave up and blew 16k free XP just to get it out of my garage.

because your amx30 will crush the lights it meets, while the lights has to flee t10 mediums.

fast mediums make lights obsolete, they can do the same role, just with better armor, hp and gun, and can go toe to toe against any tank they meet.
