Just focus on shooting wherever you can pen to do damage, getting crits is such a crapshoot it's not worth it to waste the effort trying to get them purposefully. EDIT: Intentionally tracking someone in a bad spot notwithstanding.

OK then:  I typed in chat before the game started, Lakeview encounter, "Valley=NO" Now I didn't expect everyone to obey me but this clown in a T-29 (Top tier) AND an AT 15A  both went there anyway. Neither made it out to the North and we lost the match. My bottom tier T-50 tried to do an early spotting run down the middle and was spotted and killed by an invisible E-25 almost immediately. Such is the life of low tier scouts with crews that don't even have sixth sense. At least what I was doing had some prospect of assisting my team.http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/Capowell/1003149519/ Here's the skinny on this ninny. I mean he's just normal bad not awful bad.

I want to finish some missions and, for example, it is only theoretically* possible (looks like someone managed it !) to do over 3000 damage in a T67. I would just buy up normal higher tier tanks but I have a sub game I play where I can't crew the next tier tank until I have mastered the one I'm in. That *might* take a while. * 45 shells X average damage 110 = 4950 damage but best of luck hitting every shot and having it penetrate.

Cartoon posted:While I'm heartily sick of being one shot from full health (820 HP) in my ARL 44 by KV 2s (The 84 mm pen HE shell should not be able to pen the front of either my turret or hull especially if angled properly) Pansy has been a good influence. I got my first ever TK ban last night in my JPanther. They must have tightened the requirements considerably. I regularly get battle buddy medals and almost never do team damage even by collisions. I went from clean skin to banned in three shots/one kill. Now maybe shooting the guy in the arse was an over reaction to him ramming me while I was aiming a shot and if they hadn't started turning their barrel towards me I wouldn't have had to shoot them twice more in self defence. Back in the 'old days' I use to occasionally derp kill annoying scouts/mediums who were getting in my way and I never once even went blue. Talk about 100% care bear. Hellsau posted:The ARL's LFP is 50mm. The turret sides are only 30mm and the turret cheeks are pretty large. The UFP is 120mm so it isn't like AP is too much more likely to pen where HE wouldn't. This reminded me; the ARL's 30 mm turret armor wraps around to the front, where, not only is it easy to pen, but it can be overmatched! (Think mid-tier German 105 howitzer with AP.) Not too long ago I was driving mine and some ~46% mouthbreather in a Hetzer got a lucky pen on me for 400 loving damage.   Desuwa posted:Got accused of cheats by a pubbie again.

Used to be unlimited, right after the tier 10 artillery were introduced I had a few 14v14 arty matches I've been playing for over 5 years straight and I can't remember anything ridiculous like 14v14 arty games. In fact, I think they added the 5-SPG cap with the tier 10 line extension. Anyways, 5 SPGs per side isn't an acceptable limit; when you have a game called World of Tanks you shouldn't have to deal with 1/3 of the vehicles in a match being non-tanks (and that's not even counting the TDs.) Cartoon posted:Possible I guess but even so that gun is 100% bullshit. I had carefully whittled the fucker down to being a one shot using my pretty OP tier VI gun. That had taken three painstakingly difficult and (apparently)death defying manoeuvres. I don't think this arsewipe even aimed.

Also, I'd be pretty mad if I played 165 games and only made 800k credits profit.

Even by WG standards the 252U is absurd. The powercreep with these t8 premiums is just unbearable. I bitched about the IS-3A because it was basically a second IS-3 but then the M4 49, Patriot, and now the 252U make it look significantly behind the curve. I don't even like playing my IS-6 much now that I've come back for a weekend because patriots are very common and they just shred it. At least WG is making is easier to quit again.

Most tier 8s are pretty trash against 9s and 10s anyway, but releasing a bunch of powercreeped premium 8s is Wargaming's preferred method to avoid the unthinkable and actually balance the game by making all MM simply +1/-1.

There's a few KV-5 and T-22 games in there as well for credits/crew XP, because I tend to fire absolutely stupid amounts of premium rounds while grinding up crews to 100% and their second skill, or unlock modules on a tank. Then I chill out when the tank and crew are essentially fully functional. I also kept eyeballing my Mark of excellence progress, and the second mark for this drat tank seems to lie around 1500 average damage. Yup, that's about 5000 WN8 on average for just the second mark of excellence

As to the MM, I could handle the MM being +2/-2 if I didn't get up tiered quite as often in T7 and T8. Well that and my top tiers actually did things like: Not give up important areas of the map. Not losing with a 2:1 advantage. Not going to hunt arty when the ability to shoot the enemy from behind exists. Doing significantly more damage then the T8 tank.

HFX posted:I don't remember the T-34-85 being that drat good. Did it get buffed? I have no idea whether it ever got buffed, I just remember grinding up to the T-54 from the KV-1S via the KV-13, and T-43. Back then, I vividly remember that - the second I had unlocked the T-43 - I regretted not having gone up the medium line, because while you don't carry over a lot of modules, you at least START with the top gun. Yes, the tier 6 T-34-85 has the same top gun as the T-43, which gets dropped into tier 9 matches and has basically no armor worth mentioning. The T-34-85 has a really decent gun, reasonable gun handling (aim time is a bit of a schlepp), and it has it on a good platform with mobility and camo. The T-43 essentially handles the same way, and I wish I'd had my T-34-85 experience back then, instead of coming up through the KV-13, but the gun is just lackluster for a tier 7 medium.

The T-34-85 have always been good (didn't play it with the old 100 mm), but it is a perfect mix of speed, alpha, penetration and decent armour (well, turret armour) for a tier6. It is my tank with the highest number of medals for killing tier8 tanks. The T-43 is basically the same tank and sees tier9s, which says something about the T-34-85.

Duzzy just pointed out to me that I am probably confusing the T-34-85 with the T-43. The T-43 has such great features as having both the ammo-rack and fuel tank on the front right of the tank. 2 for one chance to explode! I do feel the A-43 to A-44 is analogous to the T-34-85 to T-43 jump. Just checked the patch notes, apparently they gave it the good 85MM a while back. Before that it had the anemic one and the 1D10T gun which you wanted because you fought T9 tanks with it. I thought about buying it again this weekend since it was on sale, but figured why bother since I already have a Rudy and T-34-85M.

T-34-85 and Type 58 were such enjoyable tanks to play that I'm considering doing something dumb like buying the Rudy or T-34-85M if they pop up at a reasonable price at some point. Apparently the M kinda sucks, but perhaps the upcoming buffs will make it worthwhile.
