Welcome to every derp gun in the game

I kinda wish they'd give two different options for the KV-2. The standard tank view and an arty view for when you just want to pound poo poo at range since it pretty much is an arty gun

yeah, I'm playing it at the moment and it's ok, you really have to load gold with it, it's just a bit too big, bigger than most HT's, and the accuracy is poo poo.

It's been a few years since I played the T54E1 but from memory it was a great mop up tank once numbers had been thinned where you'd jump out and ambush tanks with a clip then run away and reload. It really doesn't thrive in the early game.

You're missing out. If you platoon with better players, you can force them to carry you, and if you play badly and lose you can blame your platoonmates!

So not a completely poo poo tier player who should know better? Good luck getting Wargaming to ban actual bots not just fantasy bots. Speaking of bots when ever someone mentions bots in chat deliberately misconstrue it as bottom(s). You can thank me later.

What should a Tiger II do in a tier ten battle anyway? Peak and boom is peak and bounce and maybe get one shot. I could cower at the back and try for unspotted sniping but that is usually a crowded venue. Help me be less terrible so pubbies don't ban me :ohdear:

You forgot to tell him how delicious his tears are and how they made you ejaculate from ecstasy. Other than that, nice job!

Also, the technical term for that player is "coinflipper."

I finally got through the KT; it was OK, but I'm probably going to sell it. In a tier 10 game, load your 275-pen APCR and see if that helps.

SocketWrench posted:

I love it. when you don't conform to how they decide you should play, that makes you a bot. If anything people playing this game take it way too seriously and have really thin skins

The latter part is true. The "bot" part is more complicated. There are known, admitted bots in this game. There are also accounts with extremely bad stats, which could be bots or terrible players. Generally, we accuse them of botting when they have horrible stats, don't appear to be actively playing, and don't respond in-game like a human would (or at all), particularly with a high battle count. If I see an account with, say a 40% or worse win rate, and/or say, 100 or less WN8 I'll call them out at the beginning of the match. Sometimes it doesn't respond and is probably a bot. Sometimes it does respond and protest. It may be a horrible player, or it may be an account that is botted when the actual human isn't playing. Either way, when your account indicates you are a detriment to your teams (with an abysmal winrate and WN8) I have no reservations about calling out an account that I suspect of botting. Perhaps even worse, it could be a statbadder, someone actively trying to make their teams lose.

WN8, by the way, is a fairly esoteric player-created metric, however it does take into account all of the things a player does, so an extremely low value suggests the account isn't actively being played (by a human.)

But I changed my name on NA to "SAUSAGE_TIME" and then I kinda went on a long break to do other things. I was thinking about another name change to "2Grilles-1Krupp" but I think that name or something just like that was already used by a goon skirmish team or something. I already suck at the game; I wouldn't want to also be a troll namestealer unoriginal doofus.

Actually there is just so much ridiculous poo poo going on in the world right now that nothing is really clicking.

Kellyanne_Conway would be fine for a comedy account that only drove the Conway. The Milo one is loving glorious, if you don't reg that one I'm sure someone else will grab it soon! Also, I forgot we haven't chatted in a while, since long before the WS; Go Cubs Go, man! :hfive:

Hmm, "2 Grilles 1 Krupp" was the name of the previous comedy Goon clan, tagged [NSFW]. It appears to have been deleted, which I was surprised to see; I always wanted to get in touch with whoever was holding the clan (Vill_Nye?) because I've always liked that name/tag combo more than the PANSY tag, although it and "Heer As Volk" combine for a couple of solid gay/German references. It appears that someone else registered the NSFW tag although bizarrely when browsing players/clans on the portal half the places you search for "NSFW" actually show "no clans found" for some retarded Wargaming-esque reason:


So with that in mind, I'm considering changing the name of the clan. How would you guys feel about moving away from PANSY/Heer As Volk in the first place?

How about the new clan tag; I could try for NSFW because the name-change part actually shows it as available (I'm not sure if it would let me go through with the change though) but GUNES and GOONS are also apparently available (GOON and GOONZ are not, as you probably have seen.)

Finally, how about "Two Grilles One Krupp" vs. "2 Grilles 1 Krupp"? Or even something else entirely?

By the way, does anyone have the old NSFW icon? It was a scoop of chocolate ice cream with a smiley face. :3:

I hate this game most when I play really well and my team conspires against me to none-the-less lose. So basically most of the time (well except for the playing really well bit). Actually if it wasn't for random pubbie butthurt I'd probably quit.

When I finished my grind in it, there was a half off premium ammo sale and I shot all gold erry day. It's a good tank, has some pen issues but just happens to be competing with the best tier/tank class (tier 9 meds) cross section in the game.

When you manage to find someone to platoon with that's decent to good the experience is great. Problem is those people are far and few between. And the ones you do find are mostly grinding so they won't wait around for anyone between battles. At least those are my experiences.

I guess everyone got their mods back now. I've been getting put in a lot of teams that just melt while killing maybe two or three of the opponents. Hell, a majority of the time I get taken out half way in and I'm still in the top three damage wise by a factor of near double that of the next tank lower. This is loving stupid and aggravating.

This is pretty much what happened. The guy had a solid 56% win rate and our playstyles worked together too which was really nice. Had a great moment holding off and winning against a T110E5, a T62A, the new tier 8 mini maus and a Centurion on the east in Tundra. Helped massively that you can pen the E5's huge cupola again, but I'm usually used to my team mates just running away against opposition like that.

Also liked trash talking our lovely team mates which is always a bonus.

Nicknamed a Tiger on the Redshire map. rear end in a top hat kept camping while we were trying to push, so I had to constantly type "Dumbshit Tiger" to get his attention to move up. Every time we hit some opposition he'd fall back and put some rounds down range including into the back of us. After the team on that side of the map was pretty much trashed he was the only one left on 100% and proceeded to die slowly fighting a Cromwell, from range, while everyone was punching "Kill him Dumbshit Tiger!" in chat. I wish we could buy names in this game for other people like we can here on the forums.
