Enjoy your first 5-10 games in tier 3 or 4 matches while you still have new-tank preferential matchmaking, and rest where you're shunted into 90% tier 5 matches due to the anti-clubber matchmaker.

Nothing like having to do a clutch save because your team is bad. Thankfully the guy in the cap was too timid to just rush me when I was first spotted:

You have to win 5 battles where you're one of your team's top 10 XP earners between now and May 2nd.

5cm if you want to lose 100k credits firing 130mm pen shells in pub matches. 3cm if you want to have fun while still being incredibly effective. The 5cm is better early while you take potshots at people, the 3cm is better late when you just zoom around killing anything under 300 HP.

Our bench is incredibly warm, which is good because we're getting shut out cold by our opponents.

I'm glad Province is dead and it should have been gone years ago because what a lovely map to punish new players with. I'm glad South Coast and Northwest are gone (and hope they do not come back).

Rest in peace, Dragon Ridge. You were too good for this world. I wish it were still in the game so CW, Strongholds and tournaments could still play on it. Pearl River was bad with artillery on it and otherwise it was basically a heavy paradise, but it wasn't nearly as poo poo as Hidden Village.

It is even funnier when you realize that Comet had my number for sure, until he decided he would rather shoot a full health Jackson rather than shoot me 2 more times to finish me off.


Komarin isn't so bad on the console because oddly enough you don't have 4/5 of the team piling onto the island only to be arty raped.

Scorpion Pass is annoying as hell when you have a slow tank, but way too much fun in a Medium or Arty.

There is only two reasons to go north on Hidden Village: you intentionally want your team to lose and are attempting to be as useless as possible, or you want to have fun tearing rear end through buildings while being shot at by tanks you have no way of spotting or shooting. It's like going south on Live Oaks - sure, you can use your mobility to flank and destroy the enemy tanks that also went to the stupid place on the map, and then you are entirely stuck because trying to push the enemy base just walks you into a killzone, and trying to return to base does the exact same thing.

To be honest if we've only got like 5 people doing missions out of twenty, you're fine. Our missioneers are almost entirely stuck on victory point missions, or kill missions. All the damage missions are super simple if you have a tier ten better than the IS-7.

Yes. I need to go through and update it, but I've been busy and haven't had to change the loadout in any of my tanks, so :effort:.

It's probably just one mod, but I don't know which one. Reinstalling the individual mods from OMC might fix it.

Probably need to unlock the T-62A Rental for some of the flag missions but at least you have the E100 for the stupid module damage ones.

Is the E5 not a good choice? I'm about 6m creds from the E100. I've also got a 261, which seems like it would be good for module damage.

The E5 is a superb tank. Damaging 12 internal modules in 7 minutes is ludicrously difficult with a 120mm gun. I suppose the 261 would be kind of good though.
