I have been informed that "that's why I made sure to bury her again after I was done" is a perfectly acceptable response, because, in America, one-upsmanship is the only thing that matters.

No I'm reasonably certain that the Churchill 3 is going to take up all of the top 20 slots. +30% base xp is hard to beat.

Congratulations, you've won an astonishing 11 out of your 16 IS-6 games! That is your fourth highest winrate among tanks, and the highest winrate in a tank with more than ten battles in it. Well done!

Actually no, not well done. Apparently in your pursuit of a doctorate degree you never learned the importance of sample size. Given that you had an average tier of 7.34 and 80 games played over this time period, and had an average damage of 832 and an overall winrate of 43.75% during that time period, I'm going to guess you did not contribute much to those matches and were simply the lucky recipient of several favorable coin flips. That you don't manage to average 2000 damage during KV-5fest is questionable - that you cannot even average 1000 is pitiful.

People said literally that exact same thing about War Thunder tanks and now you can buy a loving rocket tank that just spews rockets at other players. So what I'm saying is you're totally correct and hopefully Wargaming figures out that we want to fire a hundred rockets at other players.

The Terminator in AW can fire 4 ATGMs in a row at people which is hilarious.

Also I haven't played WoT in a couple of weeks but I got this today in my message box.

I would normally think it was sent in mistake but I do insult people alot in WoT chat so it might be some sort of delayed butthurt.

Lol, I know of a dude who did this; he waited until the 90-day (or whatever) Paypal dispute resolution period was over, then stole his own former account. I'm surprised that you did it though if you don't intend to play again.

Hmm, I think we could try to get those codes resold to get some of your money back, if you're interested. I could advertise it here when I post, or over TS, looking for any goon who hasn't redeemed any of those codes. You have what, 3 available?

Also, you'd mentioned that you bought JGCC in the first place; did you get control of the e-mail account or just luckily never got hosed over by the seller?

RandomPauI posted:

Free XP the top 105. No other gun is worth using, and it's not really playable without it. Also the engine upgrade is probably worth using free XP as well; it's playable without it, but is noticeably sluggish. You'll eventually research the Pinocchio88 when you finish the grind and keep the tank to elite it (it's really good, totally worth keeping) but it's not a good idea to actually use the gun (over the long 105, at least.)

:dogbutton:

Has ZL bought every single gold tank and free exp'd his way to tier 9? It's like he desperately wants to find that magic tank that will make him good.

Also I can get no time to play tanks these days and last time I did I tried out AW. I don't think it's better, just different - the best thing I could see about it is stock tanks aren't completely useless like in wot, and arty is limited to 2 a side so arty folk have to wait a few minutes to get a battle.

AW is better in (nearly) every way. I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the arty though. It's less of a nuisance to play against, but that's mostly because they keep moving and counterbatterying an awful lot. If a guy gets his sights set on you it's loving terrible, better hide behind that rock for a minute and hope he's not a patient bastard, and that your team didn't gently caress everything up while you hid.
As for playing arty...having to constantly move to avoid counterbattery is pretty drat annoying. I don't really know why people keep doing it, since by the time they've actually managed to kill off the enemy arty the battle is usually decided one way or another. I spend my time firing at actual enemy tanks instead, and often do more damage than all the other arty in the battle combined. I guess it still beats WoT arty though.

tl;dr: arty is still annoying, but a lot less so than in WoT, what with longer flight times and much less damage per shell and stuff.

RandomPauI posted:
