I don't think I realized there was a contest. I will say I was shocked that doing a barrel roll causes zero damage to the tank if it's slow enough. Wargaming!

You should try to do at least your hitpoints in damage, more in tank destroyers. If youre driving artillery, try to do damage equal to a same-tier heavys hitpoints. You'll of course have battles where you do less and more, but on average, you'll be pulling your weight.

Instead he shot and killed the Obj in mid roll. Which is even more great considering the shot had to clear the back deck of the Comet to get that hit in.

Comet looked like it missed the chance to stop his roll and make him die an upside down death.

The damage amounts you should be aiming for at T7/T8 is as much as a non-premium T7/T8 heavy. I think my average damage per game is/was something around 1500 with an average tier played of ~T7 (1447 @ T6.97 actual).

An even simpler rubric for doing well is doing at least twice your tank's hp worth of damage to the other team. Just doing ~1:1 in damage inflicted to hulls lost means you're pulling your weight, literally. Obviously this isn't as accurate when you're talking about artillery and TDs, and light tanks shouldn't be as concerned about damage so much as longevity and spots.

What are equipment recommendations for the line leading up to the T37/Bulldog? Breezing through the M5 Stuart with vents, binocs and camo net currently for a bit of a more passive role, darting between overwatch positions. Vents, binocs, optics for the Chaffee and up, or should I focus more on gun-related poo poo once I get to the serviceable gun in the T37?

I'm pretty sure the ratio of retards to useful players is way out of whack compared to other games. I think part of it is being able to exit a battle early and jump in another tank to throw instantly in.

It doesn't help that my wn8 is like 570 from playing scouts for 2000 battles so it helps motivate people to go "gg we lose" at the start of a match and then throw.

edit: Attacking on Erlenberg, had an arty suicide and one of the scouts drove into the river and blew up about 15 seconds in, but we still won

scouts are the easiest tanks to get high wn8 in, due to people not haveing a clue how to play a scout.
suicide spotting is not how you scout. blaming your poor wn8 on scouts is stuiped.

I didn't like the t30 until I upgraded to the top gun, it turns into a pretty sweet tank as it really enforces a peek and boom strategy that you can excel at by having a turret. Out in the open no chance, and the reload means you have to have supporting tanks to prevent a rush.

So the Chaffee can get a VStab because Wargaming. Always use a VStab. That line has really good view range, so use Optics. I usually choose Vents next because GLD with VStab basically does not do anything even without considering #snapshotmeta, but let's be real here 2.5% boost to everything is pretty mild so I'd understand using a Wet Ammo Rack if you don't enjoy throwing credits into the wind on Large Repair Kits.

texasmed posted:

edit: Attacking on Erlenberg,

You should definitely disable Assault in the in-game options. Assault is famously imbalanced - on most maps the attacking team is cripplingly less likely to win, which makes most good players turn Assault off to lower the variance on their chance to win, which decreases the overall skill level of players in Assault matches, which increases the variance and stupidity of Assault matches.

Most goons strongly prefer if you disabled Assault while platooning, except for ExiaFS. If you platoon with Exia, make sure to have Assault enabled, because that dude just cannot get enough of that game mode.
