Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Got my Rudy this morning, got my ace tanker within four matches.

But almost EVERY loving other match is tier 7 or 8, what in the hell? Is this a Rudy thing in general, or because of the Rudy influx today, or something? Are there so many today that they all get dumped into higher tier matches?
I mean, you have some options in a tier 8 match with the gun, but jesus.

So that apparently makes the snap auto aim mod safe for now.

The official forums are full of 45%ers claiming it's AWFULLY SUSPICIOUS no one from any TOP CLANS got banned

Except it is awfully suspicious - I've played against players in clanwars/tournaments who 100% were using treedown because they loving blindfired one shot into me as I drove over a line of invisible breakable items in the middle of Murovanka. Those players have never been banned, even though they 100% have been using treedown for months. That's also why I'm asking around here - a hell of a lot of people use prohibited mods (like autoaim+ or redball for people with arti missions to do) and I'm wondering if nobody here is getting hit, then maybe Wargaming just can't tell the cheaters from the regular baddies?

Spoiler alert, Wargaming has no method to detect if you're using prohibited mods.

Well yeah, he responded in the Youtube comments and his rationale was the E5's turret armor...which still doesn't negate the uselessness of the valley.

I didn't mean that derogatorily, just in a "veteran makes a new account" statement of fact. Hell, I did my own non-stats reroll a while back.

I use the autoaim+ from the Aslan mod pack now and I believe it's technically legal again. It doesn't snap to the target so you can't use it behind buildings and rocks before you turn the corner.

355 games played in my 1390 and still no mastery badge. Average WN8 2,728. What autistic rear end in a top hat is just playing the 13-90 all day and doing very well in it to keep me from getting my mastery badge.

There's two versions of it. The legal one in aslain's pack that requires line of sight to autolock, and the old style one that just requires you click in the general area

http://wotreplays.com/site/3427990#widepark-chillyrabbit-t-34-85m

Fired HE at a hellcat successfully, racked up 1.8k dmg and bounced 2 APCR rounds from a KV-1 using an 85mm. :feelsgood:

Still bonkers to me how the 85mm gets a high damage HE shell, where it is a legit choice to use to kill a hellcat in 2 shots not 3.

Pansy dongholds have been going well, and we've almost had enough gays online to do Advances (we did one the other night, and didn't lose horribly.. although we didn't win either). Is it a Pansy revival!? :tutbutt: :gizz:

We just need these closet goons (i.e. xeus, hellsau, primelaw...) to man up, get hard, and join the fabulous clan. I doubt we'll ever do clan wars but if you like making credits, drinking pubbie tears, and shooting hot loads into tanks you should probably join!

No new mods, but remember that sixth sense doesn't pop until 3 seconds after you've been spotted.

I survived the first hit of the two encounters and my sixth sense didn't go off then. The 2nd time I got nuked by a Jgpze100 so I don't know if the sixth sense would have gone off, but I am 99% sure i wasn't spotted by anything. It was just two instances of being killed and going 'how in the????' I mean I'm sure I could have been really unlucky and a Jgpzr player decided to waste one of his shots in a purely speculative location that a TD would not normally be in.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:

My question was there anything that would give away my position if I hadn't been spotted, or indeed even fired. The first instance I was shot in the middle of an open field, before I'd even fired. I know theres stuff that tracks trees and scenery that you've run over, but I hadn't hit anything to do that either.

Hopefully whatever was keeping clan invites from working got fixed. Can Gafencu get another invite to PANSY?

Also, tell me about the Japanese Heavy line. The O-I is a giant, pain in the rear end brick to pen with a bucket of HP and a brutal gun. (From what I can tell from personal experience and getting whapped by it.) I know the Types 4/5 are also super fat. These things appeal to me (Maus was the first line I completed,) but is the line generally fun to play?

Now that the tier 9 and 10 have derp guns too, yes?

Their size and slow speed as well as some of the tanks having really bad ergonomics can be frustrating but it all goes away when you derp things for huge HE damage.

My platoon mate was close by, but he wasn't spotted either. He had been firing though, but it would have had to be a very big miss to hit me instead of him.
