You do realize that that is a tiny amount right? It would basically just be a rounding error at this point.

I spend way too much money on computer parts.
That site is missing some data.

It does not show me on the 100 or 150 battles top Winrate for the Object 261 even though I am sitting at 73.45% over 226 battles. It also claims I have only had 61 battles in my Object 261 instead of the before mentioned 226.

and there's a whole lot of tanks i'd be listed on if it wasn't for the 150 game requirement. i'm done with most tanks well before then. like the T-34-1, i'd be #2 there. on the AT 7 i beat the #1 by ~120 DPG

Booo, by win rate, I should be #1 in their list for the t92 at 81.75 over 263 games. Instead, I'm not listed. Probably because the account in general hasn't been active in tanks as of late.

Edit: hah, nevermind. Number 2 for w/r now. Still no ranking in dpg though. And that is literally the only thing I'm ranked in with all my tanks I've played.

Hey I'm just getting started on PS4 but it's a little bit of information overload. Why pick one nation over another? How exactly does spotting work? What do the ear muffs mean on the stats page?

All these stats are hard to parse with no frame of reference.

pick russia because they are conceptually simple to play. scoot out of hard cover, hit something with your high alpha gun, scoot back and reload. aka peek and poke

spotting doesn't work. for now, just know that bushes only camouflage you if you are about 15 m behind them so they block all of your tank from the POV of any enemy. there's more on the official wiki, but that is the fact that most beginners suffer for lack of

the earmuffs are radio range, probably -- I don't have a ps4

To be fair, he did do everything right, angling, wiggling, relocating and all, not so sure about his choice of target occasionally, he seemed a little undecided at times.

He had absolutely no business winning that, though, the idiocy of the other team is palpable.

I have some bad news about the Challenger Achilles Mk II.

Hellsau posted:

The Challenger doesn't stomp all over anything mate. The damage output just isn't there to avoid taking lots of damage if you get into a fight even with a tier 5, and if there's more than one enemy you're going to evaporate. Also the 9 and 10 aren't good so just stop while you can and use the crew somewhere more useful.

Counterpoint: The Challenger is good for CHAI-snipers. Reference: me :shobon:

Since the retarded marathon is about to start I'm guessing tiers 8-10 will be completely unplayable, right? Anyway, with the sudden influx of people playing those tiers the chance to actually knock out the 450k damage gets pretty low if I only have like 3hours a day to play?

I'm sure it'll only take a fine player like myself 1000 games or so. That's only, what 72 games a day for two weeks. Five mins a game so 6 hours a day.:smith:

I'm really good and it'll take me about two hours a day playing my tier 8s and 9s to get the damage needed. If you play an above average tier 10 you can definitely get enough damage done in 3 hours a day.

Plus like any marathon if you don't care about burning yourself out on tanks, just get a six pack of Redd's Apple Ale and sit down on a sunday and just play for twelve hours or whatever.

The leFH18B2 is fun as hell. It's the first arty I've played in I don't even know how long... well over a year. Pumping out round after round into Japanese heavies is a good time. Also, I've played 4 games and shotgunned a T67, a Chaffee and an O-I.

Now I just need to figure out Battle Assistant. I thought I had it enabled, but apparently not.
