The Excelsior is a nuisance because I can't penetrate it anywhere from the front with gold ammo in the KV-220, but there aren't a huge number around and they generally like to let me shoot them in the side.

Excelsior is funny because its rear end is almost as armored as its front so idiot will get behind it and still bounce. Shoot it in the sides thank you.

Gotta hit the gun hole with KV-220 gold, or get a decent pen roll on the flat turret face. Fortunately the Excelsior's AP is pretty awful so the majority of enemy Excelsiors won't pen you while you whittle them down.

My keyboard is pretty fancy, it has this "prt scn" button which I assume stands for Private Scorn. When I press it, it saves an image of my client into the "screenshots" folder inside my "world of tanks" folder. It's very helpful.

I know we really love our edge in here, and I, too, have such a fancy keyboard, but I was figuring I'm not the only one that enjoys one-button functionality for capturing a region on your screen, automatically uploading it to an image-share-website and saving the link to your clipboard.

Oh. Use the Snipping Tool in Windows to select a region, hit the copy button to copy it to the clipboard, head to imgur and paste it. Or just screenshot, go to imgur, upload the screenshot and check the box to edit it on the site.

Of all the things I say to people on those loving forums, "Don't be an idiot" is probably the very least offensive by far. The stupid thing is that I guarantee the only reason that post was even reviewed is because it was autoflagged because of the word Nazi.

I wouldn't post there at all, except I have to type at work so that people think I actually do something. It's very cathartic to say to people there what I wish I could say to people at work. On these forums, I'm just an idiot. Over there, I'm a loving rear end in a top hat.

Got the 8k combined damage for HT-15 for the T28 again, this time on the right mission. Shame we lost really, but turns out it's not super hard to do in the IS-3 so I imagine it'll happen again with honors if I don't do MT/TD/SPG by then.

One more female crew member and I've got the full set for the AMX-30.

Not sure what to do with the ones after her, maybe start on a german medium crew.

And then got Ace Tanker in the KV-4, not a special match just bouncing /blocking a lot and clicking on red tanks. Probably has a lower bar than most tanks since it's not very popular.

The KV-220 is getting a big terrain resistance nerf, the IS-8 gets a 250/201 front/side armor buff on its top turret and the useless Kanonenjagdpanzer is getting even more zippy?

It also goes from 650 horsepower to 850. It basically drives the same for the most part on test, maybe accelerating a little faster.

Is this Stockholm Syndrome or Battered Wife Syndrome? I can understand thinking you enjoyed this game, since when the game isn't being sabotaged by other players not trying to help their team win the game it can be very fun, but if you thought Clan Wars was ever fun then I don't even know. Spending a whole lot of time on a terrible browser interface to work out how to best fight hordes of worthless clans and going 15-0 night after night wasn't particularly fun, and losing games after all the callers burn out isn't fun, and once Skirmish tournaments started giving out massive amounts of gold CW kind of lost any real incentive. I guess fancy pixel tanks are nice, but all my previous fancy pixel tanks were won by just joining random lovely clans and pretending I'm a naturalist studying a particularly advanced ape colony - I could not imagine how tedious it must be to be an officer in a clan during a campaign, and having to focus on getting as many people as many battles as possible, dealing with WGA's insane lack of care for poo poo like the chat bug locking people out of battles, and the goddamn campaigns last forever.

Speaking of which, the fourth campaign apparently starts on November 23 on the EU server, and the campaign will be delayed until January on NA. So we get to see just how horrible it'll be on EU before experiencing it ourselves.

It's neither. I know we never talked a whole lot personally, (if any) but you know I've been around a day or two in this terrible videogame. Stuff like the SCC war, fighting over Paris every night and strategizing with Bring and Bawbaw over how we'd call our opposition abortions in ingame chat was honestly a lot of fun for me. The first time we ever fielded for a quad and won every single match, including our LZ defense, was one of my proudest nights as a pretend tank company leader in a craptier videogame. Forming the hot pants alliance with SGLE and then absorbing them when they died which, at the time, I didn't understand why they did. Hahaha how that changed.

Honestly I suppose I'm just bitter that Wargaming took the fun of clan wars away from me 2 years ago.

oh right clan wars used to exist on a Europe map. I was farming gold with PURPL when I first started doing clan wars so I guess I missed the actual fun. Maybe the original CW was fun, but it hasn't been for a long time.

That was more than two years ago. Rest in peace fun. Farming gold in Britain wasn't particularly fun because there were just tons of terrible clans every night forever and it was a total slaughter every time. If they could do a campaign that offered a reason for competition and an actual reward for performing well, that might recapture some of the magic for you, but fat chance of that ever happening.
