Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

WEEEEEEELP

Had a certain victory and gave it away because I got greedy and wanted a Radley Walters. I should have just capped and would still probably have forced the M44 to come get me, but noooooo, I wanted a quick radley walters and went after the M44 who snapshotted my dumb face

:downs:



And that concludes my tanks afternoon. 2k average damage between tier 5 and 6 mediums. Sounds about right. Overpowered little shits.

Basically. it has a much weaker engine, but half the terrain passabilities, and I have no idea how to calculate stuff like that with Wargaming's weird rear end mechanics.

http://tanks.gg/compare/t-44?l=51211f&t=t-44-100

I assume it's slightly more accurate and goes up hills worse, and is otherwise just a T-44. I guess the T-44-100 has side skirts? I never noticed.

Hrm...the Rudy comes with its own crew...

While that's cool, I was kinda hoping for a cheaper, bare-bones deal with just the tank, I already have an almost-3-skill crew in my T-34-85.



And after that review Quickybaby did, now I kinda want the buffed T-34-85M

That crew comes with brothers in arms as skill 0. Great tank for your Russian mediums. The T-34-85M is also fantastic but has a worthless radio operator to steal XP from your other guys.

The T-44-100 is a pricy T-44 with a slightly better gun. If you are looking for a T8 Russian medium trainer it is probably the better than the T54 proto if you can handle paperish tanks.

I am not going to recommend the Mutz to anyone at this due to the overly longish aim time with lack of armor and alpha.

Yeah, I think I might just move my current crew to the T-34, and then start with the Rudy crew on the T-34-85. Gonna suck a bit until I have Sixth Sense and full camo back, but the BIA should be worth it.
I'm running optics, rammer, and GLD on it, the view range is pretty stupid including situational awareness and recon (soon-ish). Pretty sure I can live without repairs on the commander for the little bit of extra view range and the BIA bonus.

These two tanks are blatant statpadding, it's almost criminal. Can't imagine how dumb this is going to be when I can afford to constantly hemorrhage premium rounds in the Rudy.

/edit:
Just noticed the Rudy lacks a full 100hp in engine power versus the regular 85, that sucks a bit.

I still enjoy my 103b a lot. Probably more than I should. 8.9k dmg 6 kill loss on Fjord - wotreplay link. I think I could have had a chance at winning it had I relocated to above my cap near the end or made different route decisions far earlier in the game, like moving over to our peninsula to shoot all the heavies swinging south. I got up to a couple areas I normally can't in other tanks with the 103b's speed.

You can always barracks the crew it comes with, and they should be zero-skill BiA, too, so it's not like that won't have utility.

9k damage game just enough for 1st class mastery...seems about right.

Im pretty bad at this game when attempting a 7 client multibox.

This is a fairly standard lakeville deployment. At least a third idiots going valley, another few spotting/dying on the lake road, and heavies camp in the back ridge. And continuing to camp, after their spotters die

Ah, I've seen this before; it's called "worldoftanks.exe.swap.avi".

Before you got past like J9 you should've been turning around, activating cruise control on your way back, and ripping into your teammates. I usually start berating them as soon as I see them turn into the valley.

Well, as I've figured normally arty is in play. It's not where the flag is but where the spawn is, which arty likely has buried itself in near by. The rocks give some decent cover for heavies till they can break the other team and mount a rush. Plus it's the side where heavies don't have to crawl up and down hills repeatedly to fight. TDs just go in because "Ha, farm the damage" and mediums go in because mediums are mediums

Wargaming doesn't care about American people.

...just American *money*.

It's Telia.net - and it's been abysmal ever since they switched from Caronet, which leads me to believe Telia is the cheapest or they were stupid enough to sign a long term hosting contract they refuse to break. Seriously, I live no more than ~10-15 miles from where US East is hosted and they somehow managed to gently caress routing up to the point that I still only get 20-30ms, *plus* packet loss at the Telia gateway.

:iiam: in as much as flanks are a mystery in general to pubbies. Steppes has two killing fields bordered by transit lanes and bisected by a high risk limited reward N/S thoroughfare. Even with the cap in the far East that flank should be guarded. In the North that means having a much weaker defence in the rocks South of the rail embankment or taking it to H2. A sincerely well organised defence would protect the East flank by a token heavy force on the extreme Western end of the TD camping rocks on the edge of the N/S killing fields and the rest of the heavies pushing the cap with support. Chances of that happening in a Random match?

More appropriately, in encounter the entire team should lemming train for a cap fast THEN set up a defensive perimeter. Good luck with that on randoms too. I'm convinced pubbies don't realise that having more than three on the cap makes no difference despite their being a number on the counter informing them of this. And that is the least of your worries.

tl;dr Pubbies.
