The eastern part of Kentucky is smack dab in the middle of the Appalachias. I live like 10 minutes away from the Kentucky border in Southwestern VA, so there's nothing but mountains for miles. Unfortunately Comcast refuses to bring cable up near where I live so I'm stuck with even worse Intermountain cable.

It was a joke about mountaintop removal mining. I'm in a city, so I can get my choice of cable, but head 40 minutes east of here on the plains and you're stuck with dial-up or line of sight that drops out constantly. 40 minutes west and I have no idea what is even available in the middle of the mountains.

A pubby lost his poo poo yesterday because I finished off his E25 with a gold round from my CDC.

... except I didn't. I didn't shoot a single round of APCR the entire game. So, he was either mistaken, or was just trying to embarrass me in chat or something? I have no idea. I told him, "You're mistaken, sir. I made money off your rear end."

Tell them you have a job and use your money to buy gold shells. Make them think you have no idea you can spend credits for gold shells.

While I'll reinforce the "never not shoot 100% glods" line in this thread, to be honest I don't actually fire much myself. I try to be frugal about my ammo usage which is why I'm never hurting for credits. I see replays where people forget to switch back from glod shells, and I get shot at by glods while driving paper tanks myself, which is fine I guess for other people but I hate having to listen to them bitch about being poor; the cause is quite clear, and if you're too stupid to learn it then that's your own fault.

I'll occasionally remark in a match when I see some idiot unnecessarily firing glod shells, but when retards whine about "gold noobs" I casually remind them that all shells cost credits now. Nobody actually pays gold for them.

I feel like I take APCR and HEAT rounds in my CDC every time I take it out (and not from tanks that shoot APCR standard). I don't get that. A tier 2 light tank could reliably pen the CDC.

I try to load up HE any time I see a CDC.

I'm too greedy to shoot gold, but it was a rare round where I was close to getting top gun, so I had to make sure. I only have two gold shells in the T-54 anyway.

Exactly, HE against CDCs, or at worst, regular shells. That reminds me though: yesterday I saw a T28 Proto firing HE out of the 120 mm. He died to the whatever MT he was fighting because he was doing <100 damage a shot. He had like 19k games, which is more than I have. No loving excuses for bots & baddies. :colbert:

Ah, well the T-54 is a special case; I have a 30-20 ammo split in mine, although I haven't played it much. Still, yeah, you don't need glod shells in as many situations as people use them nowadays.

Hah I dumped a heat round from my m44 into a unicum kv-5 on pro then he got focused by the other 2 arty. He cried HARD. Doesn't help I taunted him the rest of the game :D

People get mad because I shoot gold from my STA 1, but it has the stock gun with terrible pen so I have to.

Really the only time I get mad about people shooting gold at me is when I'm in something like a heavy tank that shouldn't be penned when I'm effectively angling my armor, and then they use gold to get around that. It sort of breaks the game in a way because there is no strategy I can use to counter that except for hard cover. Then it's like why even drive a heavy tank at all if the armor doesn't mean anything.

It is also quite fun and effective in the french tier 4 and 5 arty. Accurate, fast firing, decent pen, damage and shell-velocity makes it actually loving disgusting.

I forget the CDC is armored with aluminum foil every now and then, and I really pay the price for it. I once got loving dunked on by a VK28.01 Mini-Leo that was shooting AP shells out of its 105mm gun. He was doing jack poo poo to everyone else, but blooped two shells into me before I could get into good cover.
He was then vaporized by a ISU a few seconds later, but I figured that round was a loss. Its really hard getting used to the 0 armor tanks and how even a simple 50mm of armor makes a huge difference.

I suggest playing Mechwarrior 4 with a joystick. I'm having a loving blast. Here's a link, apparently it was released for free online for a while with some fan patches to add poo poo and fix poo poo.

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3q48qzz8eVgYnZvaGdEd0Rxc3c&export=download

Also the 8k spotting/damage mission is far easier than some of the other light missions. I've completed it many, many times by just doing 4k damage and spotting 4k. Lakeville in particular is great, because you can shoot when you need to, and spot when it'll work, and just farm everything assuming you have someone to back you up.

"Rita posted:


– There are a lot of questions about the Czech branch. There are two options at the moment: a complete rebalance of the branch with buffs to all vehicles up to tier 8 along with tier 9-10 rebalance. Or waiting with the rebalance to the new “tank role” model global overhaul.

– The Role balance is expected to come during the summer, there will be more information about it around 10/05/16.

– New MM is now being tested and its named “preset”. More tests will come in the Summer.

– LT need to be given back their role as spotters as they are now only sightly playable. Tier 9-10 LTS are planned for the future but not right now.

– We are hoping to add a new nation at the end of this year.

– Italian tech tree is planned to appear around 2017 or 2018. The team already gathered a full branch of HT, MT, LT and TD but there is little info about SPGs. The MT line will have a Leopard on Top but that’s as far as he is willing to comment on it. (RG: I wonder where he got the TDs completed… imaginary Pony land?)

– In the next patch fail platoon will be receiving -50% XP from the battles.

– We have ideas to release special perks bonuses by Nation.

– Arty rebalance is planned to come together with the Role Balance (aka Balance 2.0)

– We have many ideas planned for arty, for example smokescreen.

– And smokescreen for LT? “Arty is our priority”

– Armor will be the main theme of the upcoming Role Balance.

– Will Premium Shells be balanced? Yes its planned to come with the Role Balance this summer.
