Ramsus posted:T110E4 best rigger tank aside from capping flags. My last module damage mission I had I did something like 25k damage as well as way more modules than I needed. Yeah except why would we need that? We're definitely not rigging. You want a much better tank than the E4 unless you're rigging, which we're not.

If you haven't put at least 40 skill points into #snapshotmeta you're just constantly a worse E100 with 700 less HP, significantly worse armor and a frontal ammo rack. I got penned in my loving E4 mantlet twice a couple weeks ago. I mean it was from an E4 and an APCR shooting T30, but still. The mantlet? Come on, at least if you hit the actual mantlet on the E100 you don't pen.

Fair enough, I'm still about 50k experience off having it unlocked and I haven't been rushing towards it. I've just been doing my daily 2x/3x/5x and slowly unlocking tanks. I could see a JPE100 penning the 110E4 mantlet but a T30 with APCR is a little sad.

I'm actually surprised the ps4 didn't bring back the tracer fire long lost to pc players. Shame wargaming didn't take the hint to that mod exploit to actually close up their client and move to a more external mod system. instead, they just straight up disabled tracer fire.

Hellsau posted:I'm glad Komarin is dead. I'm glad Hidden Village is dead. I'm glad Severogorsk is dead. I'm glad Port is dead. 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). Problem is they keep removing lovely maps without putting anything back in. Port would be ok if it was a mid tier map, it only really broke with high tier vehicles in it. I had an incredible Sherman game on that map in the days before their HEAT was nerfed and right after you could buy gold shells for credits. I got up on an overpass and dumped shots into dumb people. Province was hilarious because in a tier 10 game you could spot the enemy spawn in about 5 seconds and all the SPGs were dead in 10s. Komarin was ruined initially by spgs being too good, then ruined further by TDs being overwhelmingly good. Hidden Village was just bad since 75% of the map was unused since a single turreted TD could cover the town pretty well unless there was a strong medium rush, and then they'd just run into the heavies camping the valley. If they had moved the spawns closer to the city and let mediums/lights have the valley, I think it would have worked. South Coast was just poo poo though, oh hey one side gets a hill with SPG cover and bushes, plus they can cover 1/3 of the map, good plan. Northwest wasn't good and had too much useless space on the map that was too easily fired into.

JuffoWup posted:Even from hidden enemies? But if so, that is cool. I'm miss that bit of ambiance. Yup, even hidden enemies. I routinely drop FV304 shells on scrubs who are still shooting at the last place they saw someone. Tru-fact - Most console players have no concept of being blind fired or subject to blind counter battery. They consistently go to the same place and huddle 2-4 deep in those spots just waiting for someone to drop a round on their head. CitizenKain posted:Problem is they keep removing lovely maps without putting anything back in. One thing about the console versions of the map, they have A LOT less brush/foliage cover. There isn't nearly the same amount of ninja-TD shots going on as there is on the PC versions of the map. Next time I am on the map I will take a screenshot of the infamous "forest" to show you just how sparse it is. Same as with Campinovka and all the other bush heavy maps, they are not nearly as generous with cover.

I wish Province was still available for Training Rooms or something. Even if it was terrible, that map made me happy to play on. Maybe I just have a really poor memory for mild disappointment. No, I know what it was. I started playing WoT (which meant dozens of games on Province) on the recommendation of a group of friends that fell apart, and playing on Province reminded me of when that group was still in one piece.

But yeah, you can pretty much not move all game and be fine. The fun part is when you counter battery the enemy arty because they didn't realize that knocking poo poo down is basically a debris trail showing me where you are are and going.

So - I bought the 41/90, which is great, but I have no idea why it's German. It's everything the Walker Bulldog could have been. I really like it. It also gave me the opportunity to sell my Walker Bulldog and buy the T-49...and I just cannot stop laughing at how funny that T-49 tank is to play. Everybody who is just BLAH BLAH BLAH CONSISTENCY is just not seeing the fun of just hanging out and blapping IS3s and T34s for 3-400 damage right IN THE FACE with a regular, plain HE round and then hiding for 15 seconds while you catch your breath from laughing. I dunno; maybe one of these days I will stop enjoying the low-skill tanks. But, I've wanted a T-49 for a while now, and it does not disappoint. I'm still on that LT-15 mission for the STUGIV, but now I can at least have an amusing time while I try to actually survive after doing 4K damage in a light tank.

This, but with a KV-2 in a top tier round, is also very fun. Last time I did it I got teamkilled for finishing a T110E5 that two Fv 215s couldn't get. KV lucker noob!!

Cardiac posted:Eh, optics and binocs doesn't stack. I guess it depends on if you want to try to get more spotting damage and then clean up or...snipe in a 13 90? But when you are trying to get spotting damage the lights using binocs are going to out spot you and you're going to die. Happens all the time on prokhorovka and malinovka where I get in position and spot their lights. The GLD is useless for me because I'm usually already aimed in, or am too close to fire otherwise I'll be spotted. GLD is also useless when it's time to clean up and firing on the move. Personal missions are really easy for me in the 13 90, and I got all of the light missions done before any of the others. But then again my win rate is garbage poo poo in the 13 90.

Welp the rules for the next Campaign are out, and it turns out Wargaming is indeed stupid enough to break something that was working fine. Any clan with around fifty actives or more is about to have a lot of officer burnout. Good thing I enjoy a good Pubbie Safari.

They really should just nerf the Japanese heavies sometime soon.  I mean, I'm only posting this one because I got my second mark of excellence - that's not really anything noteworthy in an O-I Exp in a tier V game. And it's not like the tank's a pushover in a tier VII game. A nerf has got to be incoming, surely?
