I was just on the business end of one of the worst steamrollings in history. Game barely lasted over 2 minutes. One minute I'm relocating to intercept a Batchat that has been running roughshod over our tier 10s in the middle, the next minute I'm somehow flanked by three tanks that I assumed would be held up by the other four tanks on my flank. Nope, my side imploded in about half a minute or so. Between the other five tier 10s on my team, they got off exactly four penetrating shots and one HESH round during the ENTIRE MATCH. I got off as many penetrating shots as EVERY OTHER TIER 10 ON MY TEAM. Dwell on that for a minute.

Hah, since the ti10 premium give-away went so well, this next campaign is going to be giving away a t8 premium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH4BCx6-zC0

The only thing the 88L100 does that's noteworthy is make the grind to the E-50M longer.

Err, equipment recommendations for the Object 416? Just unlocked that beautiful pancake and am thinking rammer, vstab, and optics.

I use Optics, but the 416's camo is so ludicrous that you can get away with Binocs or Camo if you hate fun and prefer a boring playstyle.

Damnit, you can't even fit equipment with the stock tracks. Lets dump some more free-XP then. And holy lol, I had no idea the turret of the thing didn't fully traverse, that was quite a revelation in an awkward round. /edit Holy poo poo, the camo

You should be able to fit equipment on stock tracks if you have the top gun - it's lighter than the stock one.

 Man, the Superpershing would be fuckin ridiculous if it didn't move so goddamn slow. I really like this tank. I can poke my head over cover, block like 5 shots from all the resident campers, then either duck back behind or take a shot. And then die to arty but gently caress arty. This thing makes a lot of credits too. But holy poo poo is it loving slow. And with matches ending really fast sometimes... you can be rolling into the main fight area with the enemy team already dead... or with your entire team obliterated and you get flanked by their whole team. Making it AS FAST as same tier heavies would be nice, as its really weird getting outrun by heavies as a medium. Heavies with more armor than you.

Yo NA dudes, 1v1 tournament signups are up again: Thursday, tier 4, bring out your Luchs and win a Type 59 if you're extraordinarily lucky. Saturday, Tier 7 Medium, bring out your....Comet? VK3002D? The T20's DPM is garbage, the T-34-1 will get set on fire twice frontally far too much to be worth it, the Panther is a shitbox with vulnerable racks, the Chi-Ri's autoloader is a downside....maybe the KV-13? and why the gently caress does the goddamn T23E3 have 100 less HP than the drat Comet, while being less armored with a poo poo gun?

The DB need a buff to make it at least useable in tier 9 games. However, in standard WG fashion all they did was make it OP as a top tier and still useless in tier 9 games.

Hellsau posted:You should be able to fit equipment on stock tracks if you have the top gun - it's lighter than the stock one. Don't have the T-54 or the top gun unlocked on my NA account, guess it's gonna be a bit of a grind. Sitting back in the beginning of the game like a turreted TD, waiting for openings, and then making a move for now. From your post, I gather the top gun fits without the top turret, any reason to get that thing before the gun at all? Seems a whole lot bouncier, but only an increase of 10m in view range and a small increase in side armor. Only 15k XP, but that's 15k xp less on the gun grind. Also, I announce my happiness about having the 416 in my first match, and someone immediately informs me it's neither OP, nor even good. It's actually quite bad, because it has no hull armor, not good dpm, and can't fully traverse its turret. My goodness, what a waste of time then.

I am really happy they replaced my Lorraine with a mini batchat. I looked it up on google and I see people on the wot forums are bitching about it (lovely gun handling, turret slowness, horrible reload time), but I like it. It's small and fast.

Am I missing something or is the free xp for crew training a complete ripoff? I can spend 37k free xp to raise my Chaffee's commander from 62-95% camo, and this is with a 5x "special"? That's a loving horrible deal.

Just look for "A-shaped markers" in the central reticule selection and "O-shaped" in the gun markers. That's the one with armor penetration indicator, so the blip turns green when appropriate.

But saying the 416 has poor dpm is an even more wrong statement than saying the tortoise has poor penetration. At least you can argue the tortoise has poor penetration by the standards of other tier 9 tds. The 416 has better dpm than several tier 9s.

I'm becoming more and more convinced the leFH is the reason that artillery keeps getting nerfed. The leFH is both common and, of course, a premium, so it never gets hit with the bat that the mainline artillery does. So people get killed by it a LOT, blame it on all artillery, nerfs are made, the leFH doesn't change...

Aren't we a considerable period into this new update now? How are there still mods not adapted to it? Both Aslain's mod installer, as well as the OMC one still have a shitton of stuff greyed out, and not even different XVM displays are an option. All I want is a non-poo poo XVM setup and my drat reload timers on enemy tanks.

Question: How the gently caress does a Jpz E100 do only 462 damage while I deal 3,652 damage in my JP2? Also, is it really worth my time to continue grinding up the Jpz E100 line?
