Didn't watch the replay yet but I'm on the T37 and working towards it. I love my Ru 251 though.

However, whenever a tank pisses me off so much in this game, I figure I should get it myself. The T49 fits that criteria.

It's really only the platooning. More specifically the goon chat I think. Takes me away from the "game" that is going on a couple of feet from my face. The guys I platoon with are mostly Pansies and we don't really tolerate spergs. We try to cheer them up instead so they don't drag everyone down to their terrible level of hate/rage/blaming the world for some stupid game. :haw:

We try. It's difficult though.

I'm not reading that either, but did he really mention an annual salary? By default, when you talk about salary anywhere in Europe I've been, the figure is monthly.

"I make 33K euros a year" some googling tells me that's a little over 37K USD. So he's doing fine, not corperate headquarters Germany money though.

Reminder that Rampage mode was actually pretty fun for a short period of time, and then they hosed it up so badly that it will never come back. My fear with this is that they have an iteration that gets widespread good reviews and is as fun as the game has ever been, and they gently caress it up somehow for some dumb reason.

You have to call people who go beach out during the countdown in allchat. Not only will you have enemy players chiming in to also mock the morons dumb enough to take their tank permanently out of the fight, you'll also encourage the worst kind of player on the enemy team to go beach, thereby reducing the number of enemies actually facing you. Plus, after the fight is over and whichever team won is murdering the shitheads frantically trying to climb up out of the beach, you can have a good laugh at their expense. Also maybe sometimes they'll learn from their mistakes.

In the US, I've only ever heard salary discussed as the annual value. Someone might then interpolate that to "5k a month" but you'd always be talking about a "60k salary." I guess it's a regional distinction. :shrug:

Kek, I thought it was just me! So Wargaming hosed up again? What a surprise! And were clan icons supposed to have been modified (per the patch notes) or is this yet another thing that they secretly "tweaked"? :jerkbag:

Yeah I'm looking at the 4503 and it doesn't look terribly impressive.

I tried it yesterday, and its like a slow FCM 50t. Therefore as an FCM 50t owner I figured I dont need a slower version of the same tank. Bullying tier 5 tanks in tier 7 games was pretty fun though.

Scapegoat posted:

Any premiums get a buff in 9.15 that makes them actually decent now?

The 10% penetration buff for the Skoda T40 and the premium Japanese tier 6 Tiger probably helped a lot, given that it even made the Jagdpanzer 4 tolerable.

Yeah yeah yeah. How about some Scotch whiskey? You got any of that around here, or just a bunch of nonsense words?

Played a round since I woke up way before I needed to. Already got hate for using the E-75 like a German heavy when top tier. Not my fault your team couldn't spot or come after me. I agree, though, it is my fault that I didn't rush the enemy front line to get all guns trained on me. God drat, having 10% snap shot on this tanks make a legitimately noticeable difference. (Combined with full situational awareness, full recon, and coated optics of course.)

I like how the only change to the cgc is a major buff to its aim time. But otherwise left alone (being more blind isn't an issue for arty, other people are supposed to be doing that anyway).

On the other hand, all the other tanks looks like they took a nerf to their traverse speeds. Turrets got nearly halved it seems which will be amazing.

That would be crushing for a lot of gameplay and strategies. Especially if you want to switch targets or circle-strafe.

Prav

uh, it would greatly benefit circling since the enemy turret wouldn't actually keep up for once. and making it harder for one tank to shut down its entire fov sounds like a good thing to me

It should be noted though that the stats I was looking at on rita is apparently sandbox rough sketch and isn't what even the first iteration will be on it. Also, there are a lot fo tier 8 tanks in the stats while the devs have said they want to work tier 10s only at the start, then work down tier by tier. Not only balancing between tanks in a tier, but vertically to the tanks above it in tier. Perhaps we'll get that balance warships experienced in first impression back in beta. Where being the low level cruiser in a +2 tiered game didn't feel like you were floating around being useless.

From my time in the Luchs I've had some trouble with circle strafing in the initial approach or if the area isn't open enough to go in complete circles. Plus if you get tracked in a fast tank now you get spun around so re-engaging a tank after that is tough. It will definitely cause a lot of frustration because it will have a steep learning curve.

From the heavy's perspective it's all or nothing I guess, lock down the light tank before he can turn his turret around to strafe or die horribly because let's be honest, pub games are 1v29 and no one will come to your aid.
