Fisherman's Bay is still a completely broken piece of garbage and locking up there has cost me more games than any other thing in the game. Also discord is great up until it completely stops working for no reason.

Having both of these things happen at the same goddamn time in a match is really frustrating.

You guys might find this interesting. So I bought that Razer DeathAdder WoT edition when it was available, the one that gave you the Pz4 Hydro. I've been using that as my gaming mouse ever since, and have Razer Synapse installed. Synapse tracks usage stats on a per-device and per-application basis, and, well, check out my stats, bros:



100k clicks. :eyepop:

This is a heatmap of mouse clicks:



What it's showing is click activity in the garage, basically, because most of the time in battle the mouse cursor is locked to the center of the screen. That being said, it's kinda cool how you can identify aspects of the interface like the "battle" button at the top, the crew slots in the upper left, the menu button, the notification center, the contacts list, and the tank carousel. Note that I use the Primary tag to push tanks that I'm grinding off to the beginning of the list which is why you see clicks mostly on that side. Also, the heatmap shows that I use a 3-row carousel. :)

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I basically broke my johnson off trying to get LT-15, even platooning with higher-tier tanks to get my Chaffee and T37 into tier 10 games where I then performed beautifully, but never breached the loving 4k spotting damage. With the excellent gun on the T37, I kept having to go active myself and try to help the team win instead of farming spotting damage and then, finally, as I unlock the Bulldog for guaranteed tier 10 matches with good HP pools...I get the loving mission in a tier 8 game.

:psyduck:



In any case, it's finally over and now I'm stuck with two extremely fun tanks when all I wanted to do in the first place was unlock the Chaffee...so my T67 and Hellcat now have untrained crews. :suicide:

Wow, the T67 is a ton of fun... just pumps out round after round. I did terribly in the M8A1, even though I thought it was a fun tank. The T67 is on another level, though. I unlocked all of the modules with free xp.

Is the line worth continuing down? I know the Hellcat was nerfed to hell and back. Any other turreted American TDs worth the effort?

Hellcat is still okay, but the T67 is the new stat-padder of choice so it's not gonna get better.

The T30 is tons of fun, but is more of a heavy than a TD.

So, Hellsau, just throwing this out here. What would I need to bribe you with so I could be on your next t-59 winning team? Would I need to bribe everyone else on the team or just you? While I'll wait in the que for every match, I fully expect to not be fielded on account of dragging the team down.

draw enemies out, shoot spotted enemies, don't just preserve cap points and not fire, and don't suicide into a spotted two BDRs and a KV-1 when you're winning on cap.

Welp, we fell out of the top 30% into the the top 31%, but still get 4k gold and a Churchill III. 5 of the teams we faced ended up in the top 20, two of them in the top 10. I think we held our own fairly well in the first two tournament days, but then Ensk hosed us over in the end, what a lovely map indeed.

Thanks to everyone who has been giving me tips about medium tanks. I am still doing kinda bad in my...uh Tank that comes before the Panther. But it's getting better.

I've used one of my +100% XP reserves and sperged for two hours, now I am kinda close to the Panther, AMX 13 75 and AMX 50 100. So many tanks to buy, so little time.

Yep, 1 point off. We had alot of close matches and RNG definitely got the better of us on a few(I left two tanks alive after a Leopard clip at like 11 HP(Chaffee) and Churchill III(2 HP?) that coulda completely changed that last match into a win. Besides driving into every telephone pole. I still had fun and appreciate you guys showing up and carrying.

Warpack is a collection of mods/hacks that actually costs money. It's still no match for Hellsau Mods.

Man, I've finally figured out the T69 and I'm churning out good games, but I feel like I'll never get my ace tanker in this thing. I assume all bad players just sort of gave up after hitting the T21 so now it's just actually not-bads playing anything further down the line.

gently caress, so close. I had fun, though, and that's what counts in my book. This was my first WOT tournament and I'm looking forward to doing more in the future.

Attention Tankers!
A glorious announcement from the WGA eSports Overlords

We have been receiving many requests and pings regarding the earning of prize tanks for the March Mapness tournament this weekend. Our standard policy is that all tanks that are earned in a Tournament will be compensated with the full gold amount if the player already has this tank.

After much discussion, 2x2 grid analysis, and SWOT assessment we have decided that, in regards to the March Mapness tournament, THIS POLICY IS DUMB.

The following will be the new prizing policy for Premium Tanks in regards to the March Mapness tournament:
Any player that earns a Premium Tank is entitled to that Premium Tank or it's full Gold equivalent (if they already own said tank)
Upon the announcement of the Final Standings for the March Mapness tournament, a player that has earned a Premium Tank will have the following course of action
They can do nothing and receive their tank or Gold equivalent when payouts are distributed (generally within 7 days of tournament end) -OR-
They may request a tank that is part of a lower prize bracket
This is only available to players that already own the earned tank
Requests must be submitted to me (Trevzor) via forum PM
Requests must be submitted before 12:00 PT on Friday the 25th of March
Requests received after 12:00PT on Friday the 25th of March will be ignored
Requests must include the following information:
Team Name
Link to Team Page
Tank Earned
Requested Replacement

Requests that do not follow this format will be ignored
Tournament Administration is not responsible for correct request formatting or reminding players of request submission deadline

Understand that this change in policy will directly increase the workload on the WGA eSports team.

Good luck out there!

Think I'm gonna do the same. I have the Churchill III on my EU account and just don't like driving it at all. If I'm gonna be slow as rear end, I'd at least want a gently caress-off gun (for that tier) and some armor to go with it. I got penned by everyone and everything driving that tank, with only the dumbest pubbies bouncing me.
