We have some in PANSY. Or at least we had some... hard to say who all is still active.

Yeah I tried but the gun dispersion on the easy 8 is just so lovely now none of your shots go straight on.

Oh that, that's just the game mechanics. Need to hit something smalish to pen? You're gonna go high.
I was getting pissed earlier playing on level ground as arty. My team would track a tank so I could take careful aim and watch my shell hit three tank lengths before or beyond the bloom. Or hitting a Fury in the side of the rear end across the lake on Lakeville that's on 14% health and just get a non damaging critical hit. You know, because i planted the shell on him before swinging my turret to deal with the tanks coming down the middle road. Course these are cases where I tried. When I just half assed snap shot at a heavy across the lake i track the fucker and arty pounds him.

I've got the russian SU-8 now for arty and goddamn it's easy to shotgun with. When a flank folds it's quick enough to run away and join the other flank and just shotgun the hell out of enemy tanks

Oh you poor thing. 15-0 games aren't exactly uncommon these days. It's gotten to the point where if we're up 15 to 5, I'll start playing suicidally to try to get the enemy to shoot something (and also to farm as much damage as I can) and if the last enemy dies and we haven't lost anyone, I'll TK someone to stop the sweep.

15-0 blowouts are actually really bad too because if the enemy doesn't deal any damage, the winning team gets much less XP. If your team 15-0s, there's a reasonable chance that the highest XP on the team is like 800.

There are a lot of ways to get frustrated in this game, and one of the worst is having a game where I just drive around for several minutes not getting to actually do anything because the enemy team are useless mooks who just die before I get there. If I'm on the losing side it'll at least be over with quick and I can get out and go play another tank.

I dunno, I think they're fun enough when I get to be one those actually doing the slaughtering. :v: But sometimes I lose the deployment lottery and basically spend the entire match heading towards the action but always arriving a bit too late to do anything myself.

Not really relevant to the discussion, but this reminded me of a battle I had just the other day: It was down to me (T28 HTC) and an enemy arty, and it was about to end in a draw but then the arty decided to ram into my side at literally the last second, which killed him and we won. Been a while since I had a laugh like that in this game.

If I were playing a one-player game and the AI was as bad as the enemy players in one of those slaughters, I would stop playing that game. I don't think that's much fun when the enemy tanks are incapable of firing back at you through intentional incompetence.

I put my money where my mouth is and bought the 252U and played it a lot over the weekend.

I still think it's overpowered, maybe not quite as game breaking as I initially feared, but I've got 2200 average damage and over a 60% winrate in the stupid thing, despite some amazingly stupid teams who just refused to win. Amongst t8s the only ones with more damage are my ISU, RHM (all games pre-nerf), 416, and IS-3. My IS-3 is only 70 average damage higher and I played my IS-3 when I was at my peak. Makes tons of credits too.


Also trip report on the newly buffed 4202: it's still slow and bad. There is no reason it should have such bad gun handling for 230 damage when the Rev gets much better handling for 390.

If you throw a big rock, it flies in a stable arc. If you throw a piece of paper, it flutters all over the place. The 230 damage shell just doesn't have enough weight behind it to fly in a stable manner. That's just science.

Seriously, I watched a T29 get circled and killed by a T26E4 on the other team. He just sat there and swiveled his turret while the SP casually drove around him pumping shells into his rear end as he went till the T29 caught fire and burned to death.

It all depends on whether you know what you're doing and your opponents know what they're doing. I've seen the heavies on my team melt against one while i raped it by nailing that lower plate over and over. It can be a good tank, but because window lickers are buying them it's becoming a tank that gets poo poo on unless it has support near by to carry it.

But you got circled by a couple. this dude got circled by one Super Pershing, 1, not couple, 1, singular. It's one of the slowest, under powered tanks in the game and it went completely unharmed in a perfect circle over and over, the only time it fired was as it passed the rear end end

He killed an AMX 50B that I weakened and then got kind of torn apart by a JP2, WZ-111 and 110. It took them three minutes to kill him and he still got like second in damage. Apparently the front half of the WZ-111 roof is 100mm of loving armor, which is patently absurd, and then Steel managed to bounce 40mm of armor between the cupolas on the 110's roof with a 150mm cannon.

Steelion posted:

Naw, now that it gets 192 AP pen and 258 gold pen, it's perfectly reasonable. It used to suck because it had inconsistent armor and module damage issues and was slow as molasses AND had pen problems which made it struggle against many tier 9s and frequently bleed credits, but now it's a slow, reasonably armored tank with a good gun. Being able to pen things now means it can afford to fire from range where its armor can do something. It's still boring to play but there's no way to fix that.

That dude needs to tell his 54 Light and tier 9 medium teammates to turn the gently caress around, but apparently I'm the only player that can type and play at the same time. Oh and then he says the game is going to be a loss a minute and thirty in and then admits to chai sniping, worthless piece of poo poo.
