Hellsau posted:The 183 used to be my favorite tier 10 because it was stunningly difficult to get it into the right position and get the right hits, but if you splattered the first dude in a push, suddenly your team is on cleanup duty and you're free to head elsewhere. It was high risk high reward. Now it's just brutally sluggish and the HESH pen is just too low to do anything except end the games of tier 8s and 9s (or broadside J100s at 530 meters, as I found out) but gently caress it land helper still helps people out of matches. High risk, low reward, and most of the reward is just seeing 80%-100% of an enemy's HP disappear. That's the JTiger and it sometimes gets to shoot t7s

We didn't do very well but poo poo, it was still fun and there were some awesome moments like Blaargh's acrobatics. With the T150 I think I just shot at full speed...... didn't kill him.... then just closed my eyes and kept on going. It was like a courageous Thelma and Louise ending. Running straight into a 50 ton tank might not have been the best idea.... but it paid off. Naturally my 28 ton tank was destroyed in the process. Worth it.

The SU-100Y is kinda fun, if you get top tier in you can can really hurt people with that gun. The armor and size of the tank are a worry though, its hard to remain hidden and people can more or less point in your general direction and pen. No pref matchmaking though, and tier 8s do terrible things to it since it can't reliably pen them. On the other hand, loading a HE shell in it and one-shotting poorly armored tanks is really hilarious. An average roll from HE is enough to one-shot a Hellcat, which is really hilarious. BadLlama posted:The A-44 is not an enjoyable tank. No it is not. That tank was so miserable I didn't even enjoy the Obj 416.

These forum mods are providing me with endless amusement. I've previously learned that "idiot" is a bannable word, while fag, gay, gaylord, douchebag, shitburger, and knobgobbler are not. I've previously learned that mentioning that you have received a forum warning is actually disputing moderator action. Today, I learned that parody is naming and shaming:  Context

Eh.... it's not really a tournament type thing. You just get like 7-10 guys or so and fight matches to get points for your "Stronghold" where you upgrade buildings and get perks that your clan leader can activate. It's fun though and the consequences of losing are basically nothing, which takes the sperg rage out of it.

Wait, it took a reticle mod for you to like the T34? I have 845 games in it, it's my most played tank, and it is my #1 go to for credits. I always play a few games in it to recover/make credits each time I play. I have very little trouble penning anything besides the obvious, and I almost NEVER use gold rounds. I don't remember the last time I have since it doesn't make sense for me if I'm trying to make credits. The T34 is awesome.

What does it say about the E-25 in Russian at the end?Steelion posted:It looks like it's just a toggle (like battle assistant) that changes your firing angle to high angle, probably by doing some range calculations and feeding the game the new elevation angle. The arty isn't doing anything not already in the game, it's just usually the game doesn't let you manually aim up to that extent, and the default aim system always does low angle firing. Arty with less elevation need an assist from the terrain. Yeah, I counted and in that video the T92 shell took like 6-7 seconds to hit.  It's devastating when it does hit but it's even more of a dice roll with the mod. This probably makes the mod balanced and actually discourage camping (because you can't hide, and moving makes it highly likely the shell will miss.)BadLlama posted:The A-44 is not an enjoyable tank.

Skipping [part of] the A-44 was one of the best uses of free XP that I've made.  22 Eargesplitten posted:How is the SU-100Y? I got a free day's rental of it last night and it looks like it should be fun. Bad armor, but 440 damage per shell (510 if you want to throw money away) seems like a lot of fun. You could two-shot anything at T6. It doesn't get pref, does it? Gun is great, mobility is surprisingly good, and the frontal armor actually has weird enough angles to bounce some stuff.

You'll also be facing a bunch of SU-100Ys that will load HE and snapshot you and oneshot you half the time. The Hellcat's turning rate being just so drat slow really punishes it and makes it about as effective on Mittengard as a turretless TD. Obviously the best choice is the Churchill Hun Carrier.

Honestly I don't even know what pleasure I get out of it at all. It's really loathsome. Maybe at this point I'm just trying to push buttons and get banned from that terrible place. I mean, I still have fun playing the game and I think recent changes are positive, and I'm cautiously hopeful about the much-hallybooed upcoming global rebalance and matchmaker 2.0 (in whatever form it will take) and whatever else, but the forums there are just a trainwreck I cannot tear my eyes away from. It does, I admit, allow me to be snarky and generally antisocial in ways that I cannot be while doing my actual job, but that's still not legit.

The Hellcat's turning rate being just so drat slow really punishes it and makes it about as effective on Mittengard as a turretless TD. The combination of hull and turret traverse gives it the second best traverse of all the tier 6 TDs and lets you gently caress up anyone you get alongside who doesn't have a turret, but its low HP and armour do make it vulnerable to HE. The Achilles would probably be better overall due to its faster traverse and higher HP, but the AT 8 might also be viable as long as you bring binocs and engage from as far away as possible. I'm terrified of someone getting beside me and not being able to do anything about it.

It doesn't have enough HP, the reload on the 90 mm is kind of garbage (still better than the Hellcat), and you don't really need the pen when you know that all you're going up against is tier 6 TDs (except for the AT 8). I'd rather have the Achilles.

You can't bring the AT-8, unfortunately, because the enemy can always choose to draw by running away and you have nothing you can do about it. If there was a tiebreaker mechanic, the AT-8 would rock by hull-lefting the enemy.
