How amazing would the rage be if the ELC was nerfed or removed from the game? Also why are goons so bad that they don't use the ELC in those tier 5 tournaments?

A Handed Missus posted:Someone posted a player who had close to 19.000 battles in the ELC here. Today I encountered someone who is in an ELC clan. Two days ago, I ran into a platoon of T67s. All three of them deep purple, one from OTTER (I think), the other two from a clan called IPAD. (go figure) Between the three of them, they had 30,000 battles in the T67. Two of them had 82%+ vehicle winrates in the drat thing.

Did you congratulate them on having amazing stats by only playing good tanks with good crews in good platoons for thousands of games? Living the dream.

The ELC is neat but really bad at doing things like damaging tanks when it really needs too. Also if you need a fast light tank, the Chaffee exists. Or the Little Leo. Plus it has worse view range then those tanks.

What's so great about the T67? Is it great by itself, or is it great when you've got three of them wolfpacking pushing the same DPM as an Easy 8? How should I play it? I just noticed that I already have it researched from 3 years ago.

I'm not even a good Chaffee driver. It's camo isn't as good as the ELC, but it has 30m more view range, way better dpm, a vertical stabilizer and moves almost as fast.

Can someone tell my why hitting esc after you die doesn't work anymore? I would rather not watch the last of my team bumbling around like an idiot and just grab another tank. And while I do use a wireless keyboard, I've already made sure it wasn't interference.

It's been doing that for me on and off. Hit F1 to get to the keybindings, hit it again to exit, try escape. I've also heard ctrl works.

It's been happening to me as well. I couldn't tell if it was mods or Wargaming's inability to code an update without breaking something.

The ESC thing not working is a known bug, just press F1 and it'll fix itself. Wargaming.22 Eargesplitten posted:What's so great about the T67?

I just noticed that I already have it researched from 3 years ago. It's great by itself. It excels at getting into position and applying damage while staying reasonably safe through camo, profile/gun depression and mobility. It has good damage output, reasonable accuracy and good pen on both AP and APCR. It has only two weaknesses - low enough HP to be one-shot by 105mm/122mm guns, and low ammo capacity meaning you probably cannot kill all fifteen enemies. I don't play my T67 as much anymore because I had too many games where I theoretically could have killed every single enemy, but ran out of ammo and my team just dried up.

Alright, I'll buy it tomorrow. I got about 700-750k by selling off all of the poo poo I would never use again in my depot. I could have gotten maybe another 100k, but I saved some stuff a lot of tanks share.

The worst part about coming back to this game: Realizing your barracks are absolutely jammed full of crews from event tanks. I just keep looking at them and then going "eh.. nevermind, maybe another game is in order.."

Got the TVP VTU a couple days ago. It's bad. Currently playing it like a centurion hill sniper, but it doesn't have turret armor. The two gun options are the 8.8 with the stock turret so you get 8 degrees of gun depression, or using the 105 with poo poo gun depression and bad dpm. All options are terrible, but after going down the cent line recently, the 8.8 is more my style. I mounted enhanced torsion bars and am going to tough it out with stock everything except for the 8.8 since none of the modules carry over to the tier 9.

Yeah people were grinding the TVP in SIMP strongholds and it was just substantially worse than any tier 8 premium. It is kind of insane how bad that tank is, but hell I guess that's how Wargaming balances the tier 9 and 10?

I haven't played for awhile so I wanted to play a few games to see the game since the patch. I love the news sounds and saw some of the physics at work, pretty fun stuff. I just wish I didn't forget everything I knew about tanks if I stop playing for a few weeks. I fell into the trap of wanting to feel like I wasn't completely worthless at this game before leaving. I did some terrible things. I decided to finally call it quits when I thought I could flank a tank, forgot where I was on the map, wandered into 3 red tanks which brought my full HP tank down to less than 200, set me on fire, then I drove it into a canal and exploded into a watery grave... at least that put out the fire.

I just realized dick-gun-tank has two dick-guns, but they could also be considered nipple-guns, or even dick-nipple-guns. Why yes, I have the comedic maturity of a 12 year old at the moment. Why do you ask? Edit: I'm now the proud owner of dicknippletank, the Turan III, and also a cruiser that was on sale for $6 on world of warships and a plane on sale for $6 on world of warplanes. I make good purchasing decisions at 4:30 am! EDIT 2: Tank pool is hard. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Apr 1, 2016 |

Well if only that was real... I would actually qualify for the top bracket of a thing on tanks. Edit... Wait it is real? Pfft. I hadn't actually considered the conversion of gold.

There's a disclaimer on the bottom saying that all of April is gonna be a small celebration and that April 12th will be a day you want to play. Any speculations? "Important: This offer is but a taste of things to come. In fact, the whole of April will be dedicated to the 5th Anniversary of World of Tanks in Europe, so make sure to visit our website every week for the latest info regarding special offers, events and celebrations! Hint: clear your schedule on 12 April - you may want to be on the battlefield that day."

I would quite like a micro maus, but given that there are so many low tier tanks that can easily pen it now, its lost its 'legendary' value. Especially not for £80...

It's as if I went and had sex with somebody's mother today, and then when I log in tonight to play the Balls fun mode I make a mom joke like usual, and when no one laughs like usual I say "speaking of your mother...." It would also be like WGA posting a special offer of a JT88 Double Hitler for $29.76.

So I had played the CDC a bit before and liked it so I figured what the hell and bought one last night. I have a female crew for my Lorr 40t that will eventually go to the batchat and I need loads of credits so having a fun tank to grind them in is good. Then after a few games I was reminded that the t49 exists.

Is there a way to select which tank you view in your garage before opening the game? I tried selecting the IS-8 ball and the game keeps trying to update the vehicles and now every time I open the game, it just selects the 8 ball again and freezes some more. I loving hate this april first bullshit.

So the 8-Ball stuff is pretty fun, but the rewards are kind of meager. Good think I'm not playing for the rewards! Also people really complain about arty a lot In hindsight trying to save the 101 was probably a waste of time, and kept me from shooting things that needed killing, but I thought I'd be able to get another set of eyes back in the fight. Let this also be a warning against trying to cliffdive onto an arty that is A) loaded, and B) looking right at you. The SU-14-2 shooting nothing but AP really didn't help matters, either.
