After too many tournament matches "Shoot the IS-3" in Hellsau's voice is forever burned into my brain. To be fair he wouldn't have had to say it so much if we shot the IS-3.

Dear god, the A-43 gets the same tier V guns as the T-34, and then it's another 65,000 XP before I've unlocked both the A-44 and it's mediocre tier VII gun with 0.45 dispersion?  Not sure I'm taking on that grind to the 416. Might just stick with the T-34 and stay true to my "only play fun tanks" mantra.

the 76 mm gun is much, much better on the A-43. it's behaves pretty similarly to the E8's M1A2 there. doubling the stabilization, aim speed and rof does wonders for a gun, whoda thunk. there's also the 57 mm ZiS-4 in case you're hellsau.

The A-43 is way, way, more fun than the T-34. Grind the A-43 with the 76 (which was specifically buffed on this tank) and free XP the A-44.

celewign posted:https://youtu.be/O44cGiCdiyk The streamer throwing his tank away like a retard is what makes this so good. Sure just sit there and trade shots with zero cover in the open. Good plan. Fuzzy: The A-43 has lots of go fast and the the 57 on it still does more than enough to get the job done. Don't know about the 76...personally rocked the 57. As for the A-44 you likely already have the 107 unlocked from the T-150 or KV line. It carries over.

eh, it was worth it to try to get the cdc and sta out. He misses a shot on the cdc, which was what got him killed. And the cdc made a pretty lucky shot to get that kill edit: like losing 90% of the hp on a tier 6 to kill two 8s is a trade I'd make every time. But his escape route was sloppy. I might do it too if up against a pile of yellow and orange players Salean fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jul 19, 2016 |

Well, the CDC's tracks ate one, which is pretty funny. For what it's worth, Circon is doing stunt one-sitting three-marking there, so naturally he wants as much damage as possible.

And the cdc made a pretty lucky shot to get that kill The fact that he approaches both tanks with the front of his 12T already tells me already he isn't doing this correctly. I'm totally with you on the trade, but just shake my head at the execution of it. Get there, flip the 12T around, take out the STA, hug the wall for cover, shoot the CDC, and then bail following the trade of 1 shot for 2 more. His team is already way up on tanks and HP so why chance it? It leaves the 12T with enough HP for another full trade and time to get a full drum to finish the CDC off.

Well you can't do any damage when you're dead now can you

Yeah, with all of the aforementioned, I might just grab the A-43 anyway. But I have literally nothing else Russian unlocked outside of the SU-85B, so nothing carries over. This is just my gimmick NA account during school, so it's basically bee-lines to fun tanks, nothing else that would give me any synergy.

While this is from a while ago when team battles were still a thing, when Circon encountered a team of goons in it, he immediately balked at their tryhard purple stats and proceeded to hellcamp. He had north spawn on Steppes and spend the entire game sitting behind the railway getting shot to poo poo.

Any player that manages to get under 45% suddenly gets shunted to a new MM where they begin playing against bots that always miss. They get to feel that they're gods amongst men, but no matter how many times they win, their win rate doesn't increase. If they ever manage to lose against these never-win bots, which are programmed to talk poo poo about "tomatos" and XVM et al to keep up the charade, they're put into a "Milton" category (a la Office Space) where their own shots will always miss and they'll get progressively less silver until every battle will be a loss in silver until they're bankrupt. Like in the movie, just stop paying them, and they'll eventually just leave. WG gets players who think everyone else is worse than they are, kicking their Dunning-Kruger into overdrive, leading to them being happier and spending more money.

That said, I played ten games tonight with my clanbuddy and while a few of them were pretty meh, we actually had fun a lot more than not, even ending the session on a high note with a hilarious tier 2-3 pubstomp where we got to tear into hapless pubbies with his BT-7Art. and my PzIC.

https://www.vg247.com/2016/07/19/overwatch-competitives-percentile-based-skill-rating-was-a-mistake-says-director/ Not directly tanks-related, but the above describes the Overwatch skill rating system and dumb players not understanding how stats work. It turns out that 60% in Overwatch, just like in WoT, is FAR above average. Edit: Might as well add this since nobody else has posted:   A pretty meh low-tier outing, but I'll take it.

Ensign Expendable posted:The only mistake they made was playing this awful game. Well I just played through The Witness and now playing World of Tanks doesn't seem like such a big mistake. what a pile of pretentious bullshit metro 2033 and metro last light were really good though, and also undertale was great Also, Valle and whoever else is in - is the Sandbox still basically useless, or have they made some actual changes? Zettace posted:Any tips for the ARL 44? Being huge with no armour and a gun that takes years to aim is pretty tough. Use the 105mm, use only APCR, snapshot constantly, DO NOT AIM. If you sit there and aim your shots, you're a huge armorless target. Try to play at between 100-300 meters. If you pop out over a hill or obstacle to blap some poor bastard for 330 damage and then are gone before they can target you, you're doing it right. Basically just blap people for the first few minutes, then once people are weak you can kill off anyone under 600 HP while taking one of their shots in return. The tank used to have a medium turret face and a reasonable upper hull, and now the turret face is paper and the upper hull only bounces tier 4 stuff. Just use the 105mm gun and have fun with great alpha and pen. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jul 20, 2016 |

That sucks. I remember actually enjoying it back when the line came out. It was basically a Tiger at T6, although I have heard that the Tiger got buffed as well.

Zettace posted:Any tips for the ARL 44? Being huge with no armour and a gun that takes years to aim is pretty tough. Aside from what Hellsau said, you can use the middle 90mm as well. Aims a bit faster, if not exactly superfast. And 170 pen is still pretty good at tier 6, especially if you throw in some of those 248 pen APCR shells when needed. PS: The 105mm gun has a really rare premium shell, instead of just giving more pen it also gives 10% bonus damage. I seem to recall finding 1-2 other guns/shells in the game that were like this but I've forgotten which ones. Bit strange but hey, bonus damage!
