Oooo, they are changing strongholds. I might be able to get away with bringing 2 or 3 guys as legionnaires to someone elses fight. Legionnaires get resources for both their own clan and whoever they are fighting for.

Why did you start your own clan? Why not just join PANSY? Then you'd have at least a few people to start off with.

Because I doubt any real clan wants some multiboxing arty lunatic yutzing up their matches. Also I have a good gimmick, [NEGTV] - Negative. I spam f6 all game and everyone hates me for it.

There has to be at least 5 goons who still play this wretched game in north america that might like some free bonuses at the cost of suffering through a few occasional stronghold skirmishes. With the stronghold changes coming you literally can't regress, all progress is retained, you make progress on losses, and you get to mock me for my hubris.

Actually, if any of you people are rolling around the NA server clanless, join my clan. I'll even give you exec officer roles so you can get mad about there being no gold to steal. I'll be doing my best to get some clan bonuses up, we could even do a skirmish or two then never play the game again.

Do you have a quirky and/or offensive clan tag?

I can't bring myself to waste so much gold/credits on such a poo poo tank though.

If you have a premium account the gold shells for credits on the 105 actually isn't too expensive. As long as you are hitting tanks and doing damage with your shells you'll probably break even firing 100% gold. Also part of what makes the 105 better then the 90 is that you can trade shots far better due to the much higher alpha. The tank can't really carry very well but you can do a lot of damage before getting murdered if you play like a chode man.

I am running 100% gold ammo on the 105 on the tier 6 TD and breaking even or making a profit in some games.

Ill add you to the legionnaire rolodex. Another change is that you will also earn resources for your own clan. My skirmish plans involve tier 6s or maybe tier 7s.

Speaking of PANSY, shoot me another invite please Atomizer. I've at least temporarily given up on finding a clan that does strongholds but doesn't have grand plans of sitting around all night doing nothing for one or two clan wars battles.

Anything you are trying to do with your own clan you could have done more easily in PANSY with a better name and cooler logo. It's not like PANSY has codes of conduct. We used to get free gold for pissing off people enough to complain about us.

No, perhaps the change is more subtle, like legionaries get clan credit for time in other clan strongholds, but you've been able to join other clan's detachments as a member of a different clan since at least October: https://archives.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3588139&perpage=40&pagenumber=76#post465112022

I can't bring myself to waste so much gold/credits on such a poo poo tank though. It's not the long 90mm which I have a problem with anyway, it's the vehicle itself which is just such a loving piece of sado-masochism. No armour, shite speed, no gun depression to the sides, abysmal DPM... I get that not everything can match the Tiger I for RoF or the T29 for pure firepower but this is just an inexcusably bad vehicle.

The long 90mm is fuckin bad. Here's the comparison - the 90mm gets about the DPM of the T29, just with an alpha disadvantage and without the great turret to be able to apply it all. The 105mm with APCR gets close to the Tiger's DPM with an alpha advantage and a speed advantage at the cost of accuracy. Basically, if you just be incredibly aggressive and brawl with the 105mm shooting all premium ammo, you convert lots of credits into fun and XP, so instead of suffering through a piece of shot for 150 games you get to have fun for 75 games and then play better tanks to make your credits.

I realize this is a joke but I'll explain it for some of the noobie goonies. DPM for autoloaders doesn't account for the massive initial burst. It isn't like the Skoda is going to encounter many enemies before it gets its first reload, so that first ~30 seconds or whatever doesn't matter. It goes forwards, offloads a bunch of damage, then reloads and offloads another bunch of damage, and in that span of time even including the clip reload in the middle it's outDPMed its tiermates by a substantial margin. The stupid part about the Skoda is that its effective DPM is actually absurd because unlike most other tanks, it gets to offload a lot of its reload time during its travel while relocating for more shots, vastly inflating its applicable DPM.

For similar reasons I don't know how much better the L/100 would be DPM-wise even in similar situations since the 390 alpha is an advantage - it gets its first two shells off before the 88 will get its third shell off

Being the lowest DPM I think the Skoda T50 needs a buff.

I'll do strongholds if I'm on at the right time - add me to the legionnaire list I suppose.

This, the AMX m4 45, while not a great tank, using the 105 with full premium ammo will let you trade HP away very effectively and do a poo poo ton of damage before you die a terrible death since you didn't block a single shot while trading.

I couldn't carry games when I played mine, but I did a poo poo ton of damage for a tier 7 before dying every time.

What I meant is that there was essentially no point to legionnairing in another clan when you are in a clan, because until the changes go through, you receive exactly dilz for it.
