Well now, c'mon, be fair, he may get a few lovely teams no matter what he does. I keep getting teams that forget there are two flanks and I end up defending one by myself while the other manages to get rolled up anyways

When your team is bad you need to do more in order to win. It may turn out that the game was unwinnable, but if you don't bother trying to win you sure aren't helping your chances. Sitting in a spot where you can't even damage farm until it's you against eight enemy tanks when there are two arti on the other team seems foolish. Plus, blindfiring that idiot bush is way too easy - someone gets shot on that downslope? Guess where it's coming from.....bam blind kill on a dipshit Hellcat.Duzzy Funlop posted:Yo, Rammer, GLD, and Optics on the T-34-85, or Rammer, GLD, Vents? I use Rammer, GLD, Optics on the Rudy because I like more spotting range because spotting damage = credits. If you're platooning with a Cromwell with Optics, Vents is a very minor damage increase.

I just have the regular non-premium one. Guess I'll go with rammer, GLD, optics, because I never platoon, and the view range should be a bit of a competitive advantage over a small increase in ROF. Obliged!

SocketWrench posted:I keep getting teams that forget there are two flanks and I end up defending one by myself while the other manages to get rolled up anyways What is the best tactic when there is a lemming train going down? I usually try and hold up the other flank despite this not being in my best (meta) interests. If nobody holds up the enemy on the otherwise unprotected flank then the brain dead shitheads doing the lemming train stand no chance whatsoever. Also if the enemy are bad enough I win the flank and we win that way. I really hate being the muggins that takes one for the team however and the disproportionate number of times where the lemming train flank fails despite overwhelming odds

Ensure your team wins their side quickly and convincingly, then just before you're about to clear it, attempt to convince as many people as possible to return to base while your team is still up tanks to get a reset rather than throwing the game away walking into their base defenders and/or allowing the enemy to cap you. Lead the way both ways.

It's just depressing since I'm still a scrub that i'll sit on the flank by myself or maybe a couple TDs and watch our heavies get ground up off on the other side and then the flank just rolls up from there. I did have fun last night though. Had another super pershing and a regular pershing on my team, we platooned together and pershing bum rushed the ruins on the Redshire map. Ended up taking on a SU-100, two Shermans, a Panzer 4 and a King Tiger, rolled them up and swung around behind. One of the better times I had. Of course after that I got stuck on that desert map with the ruins on the hill by water. Two heavies and a td decided to camp under cover while everyone slowly died till they were encircled Hellsau posted:Ensure your team wins their side quickly and convincingly, then just before you're about to clear it, attempt to convince as many people as possible to return to base while your team is still up tanks to get a reset rather than throwing the game away walking into their base defenders and/or allowing the enemy to cap you.

You have to recognize, though, that even if your pubtards give up half the map that doesn't mean you should have to be the one to try to defend it solo. You're not going to succeed, first of all, without help, and you're just going to throw away your tank in the process. That's why you have to push the other flank, because that's where the rest of your team is which is your only opportunity to make progress. If you're with your team, at least you can shoot the targets they light or vice-versa. Plus, if you leave them to their own devices, pubbies have an uncanny ability to take their 12 tanks and die uselessly despite having a numerical advantage. That's why YOU have to make the difference in matches, and that's why "stats matter" because they illustrate what YOU can do DESPITE the neverending horde of publords.

I've followed this a few times before only to watch guys run full speed around a corner the other team is known to reach by the time you're there and after they get hit the team splinters to find some way around the other's rear end and just get plowed by artillery. I got to the KV-2 tonight and derped that bitch, and holy gently caress is it fun blasting people...no one wants to support though so soon enough I'm in a no escape spot. The only one I survived was teaming up with a KTiger and steam rolling the place together

So now, not only will it mean a suboptimal game, it will mean I didn't pulla profit at T10.

Also it lets you max out on various x3/x5 events so you get to play this game less!

I really like playing all the different tank lines too much to focus on any one in particular. Speaking of lemming trains and all that, I was watching a few videos on the T-34/100 in an effort to not be so bad in that terrible loving machine. One in particular was the SirFoch review in which he plays on Westfield. In this particular instance he says the K line is a low impact play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CdkM9WkMw0&t=420s Does it generally make more sense to try and support the main brawl area in a medium (like he does at the start of the video), rather than peek from those ridge areas at K5/E0? Even if I do play from those areas and manage to take out the opposing lights/meds, it always feels like the battle is largely won in the heavy brawl area.

Literally never go east or south on Westfield. If you want to play the south part of city, fine, go for it. E0 and the corresponding camping spots for the south spawn are totally useless garbage which you should avoid at all costs. If your team loses the northwestern plateau, you are totally stuck if you were camping the east/south - you can't realistically expect to shoot anything without getting spotted, and if you get lit five tanks are going to shoot you from across the way without getting spotted. You also have no realistic expectation of protecting your artillery unless it's extremely fast like an M53 or Bat arti and can manage to run to K0 in time. Anywhere else it's either going to be badly separated into a place you can't help it, or it'll be spotted immediately when it fires. If you've got good gun depression there are a lot of places to sneak a shot into the enemy on the northern hills. If you can brawl there's a couple brawl lanes in the north or you can just go into the city and work your way through what they have there and then one-by-one through the enemy TD campers then around the rest of the enemy. If you are thin with bad gun depression you can just skirt around the city looking for distracted tanks, or try to outspot the enemy campers and take them down, or you can shoot across and try to keep your dipshits in the east/south alive. Going east or south simply dooms you to inaction if your team doesn't win the northwest, and if they win the northwest then what the gently caress did you accomplish on the other side? The map is such that if your team wins the east/south and the other team wins the northwest, you cannot cap because the enemy can just drive to the edge and shoot down into you, and trying to hide behind those buildings works fine to delay the enemy five seconds but then they just rotate around the edge and shoot you from a better angle, and if the enemy artillery isn't poo poo they'll have climbed up the 1 line/A line as their team won the uphill area to get better shots and to protect themselves, and if there is an artillery capping is suicide. Also, the map's name is Westfield. That's a hint - go to the "west field".

You can spot the southern dick of the plateau from the south east but that is about it. If you go south east you have to have a team willing to go ham on any enemies that went that way and clear them out quick. Then you don't go into the enemy base, maybe one dude to go kill some arty, you go up the poop shoot into the city and help murder off any dudes still in the city. Really though, going north is almost always the best option.

Counterpoint: When you roll the north your worthless pubbies that went south/east gets wiped and then the surviving enemy team hides behind the building on your cap doing cap fast while you are trying to get back in time to reset because your worthless team don't read the map. Also Mcgavin, I am still not banned using your autoaim.

Anywhere else it's either going to be badly separated into a place you can't help it, or it'll be spotted immediately when it fires. Thanks, this all makes perfect sense. I think I get a bit too enamored with trusting those heatmaps and I see a massive splotch of yellow down there, so it must be good right? It kind of feels like you're doing well there too - get some shots on distracted enemies to send them crawling into cover, maybe pick up a kill or two, but it just never feels like you're really swaying the battle because of all the reasons you posted. I feel like you probably need at least a tank or two to keep them honest and prevent yourselves from getting surrounded but that's about it. That's the thing about this game that's both good and bad - there are so many different maps, so many different tank types and sub-types and team compositions that it's all but impossible to individually formulate a good strategy. So I tend to rely on heatmaps and other kinds of generically drawn guides. Which have definitely helped me to be a better player but probably also reinforce bad behavior. Even if I do start to remember what I've done successfully in the past, chances are that it'll go to poo poo in the next game because the team will yolo another way or you'll be the teams only heavy in a non-brawling tank in a corridor map with four brawlers on the other team.
