Join a casual clan. My clan is super casual but we still strive to better ourselves and will do Strongholds sometimes. We only have like 30-40 members but our overall winrate is like 52 or 53%.

I tried CW once and it was just stressful and aggravating. Play for fun, but play to win as well.

Thank you, I do appreciate it. But I am going to stay in NDP.

It was my home for many years, and the one I am proud to retire in :ussr:.

What are good tanks to put female crews in? I've got 3 available, so the obvious answer is the Batchat, but I don't have a single tank on that line. I'm leaning towards sticking them in my T54E1 for now and just having to retrain when I unlock my T57. Eventually I'll complete another mission set and complete the crew, but even without the SoS bonus they won't be much worse than what I have in there right now. I don't have any 10s that I really want to put them in right this second.

Other thoughts were the T-54, Type 61, or the comedy FV 183 option.

I've got one training for the T-62A and one set aside for whichever tier 10 German medium I get first (probably the E 50M). The third crew I'm working on right now is going to be American but I haven't decided which line yet.

I noticed today that the ingame text for the Czech This Out missions' tier 7-10 rewards read as "For LT vz. 38: 100% crew (crew skills: 1)" compared to worldoftanks.com's description of "100% Trained Female Czech [crew role]". I'm interested to see exactly what we get.

I would get on again. Join a new clan, play with friendlier faces, maybe finally have the drive to finish off the Indien and get the Leopard 1

But then I'd lose the Dominion Tank Police badge that is permanently affixed to my tanks. I don't know if I could ever go without that.
I also simply can't stand the player base or how I wasted some-odd year getting a giant brick that just gets worse and worse as the game progresses.

Short range = higher arc = slower travel time. Just spray and pray, you reload fast.

Uh, so why are you playing that SPG instead of your LeFH? :confused:

Hellsau posted:

But it's the long-range version of the FV304. The LeFH has a shell speed of 410 m/s and the FV304 is 270 m/s. :eyepop:

Anyways, now for some fun stuff. You know how the Matilda 4 is a bad tank? Not the UK tier 4, the USSR tier 5 LL prem with 102 pen APCR. Well you want to see one go loving BEAST MODE [after Manny dies uselessly :P] or at least as close as a Matilda 4 gets to that? Well here you go!

Now, how about some bottom-tier sky cancer on a less-than-optimal map? What could possibly go right, right? :haw: How about a couple of shotguns and an ALLAHU ACKBAR to clinch the win? You know you want it! http://wotreplays.eu/site/2357760?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542

wot fun facts: WG tweak SPG shell arcs off of two variables, shell velocity and shell gravity. instead of 9,81 like in a sensible world they drop at 80-170 m/s^2 depending on the gun.

I bought the M46 KR that's currently for sale on EU for a week or so, it feels fairly mobile and has a decent 192 pen gun that can sling magic american APCR if needed. I got thrown into a tier 10 game on my 3rd match but got lucky and managed to snatch an Oskin's medal. EU pubbies kept begging for me to gift them the tank for some inexplicable reason (the reason being they are impoverished potato farmers probably):




I haven't played it that much yet to be honest but I'm getting a good first impression of it. As far as I can tell it has less mobility than the regular Pershing but gets more pen and a better reload time, with the obvious downside being that it's incredibly hideous of course.

With 0.12 track and 0.08 turret bloom it also has basically the best gun handling in this tier and probably the next.

The only thing to watch for is that it has a stock Patton turret (obviously) which is visually similar but not nearly as strong in the mantlet as the upraded Pershing turret.

We had this gem yesterday while platooning on Malinovka.



Basically, half our team decided to camp the base and then apparently got overrun without scoring any damage whatsoever. We doubled back and got slaughtered.

Man I really need practice in my LeFH, or maybe a GLD and some crew training. I still have a 58% winrate in mine but landing my shots is still a bit iffy. Any guides on arty playstyle you fellas recommend?

Out of curiosity, does anyone along HEAT in it at all? I carry 4 shells for ripe opportunities but don't find myself using them too often.

It really is. The gun is kinda crappy but I guess they had to balance it somehow.

Anyone else bought the T-28E with F-30? Played a few matches and think it's my favorite pubbie smasher now. :allears:

So the "Hunt the Pros" mission is bugged so that when there is a platoon of "pros" you'll only get 250 gold no matter how many you kill.

The good news is that you can open a support ticket to get the extra gold.
