This would have a much higher value if allchat was still in the game. Wargaming are just throwing money away.

:agreed:

The Clownshoe was overpowered when it was introduced because it was only seeing launch tanks on launch maps, during a time when practically no one even carried 1-2 rounds of gold ammo. Power creep will have hosed this thing over royally, and you will *always* be arty's #1 target because no shell is ever going to sail over you.

Sure, it gets -10 degrees depression, but it won't *feel* like it does because you're like ~25 loving feet off the ground.

What don't you like about the T34? If it's the DPM, the M6's is as bad. If it's the mobility, the M6's is worse. Both have good frontal turret armor, and the M6's frontal hull is better. The T34's gun is better, but the M6 gets pref MM. The M6 will bully lower tiers, and would probably work fine in Skirmishes (where it would never see tier 9 and probably never see arty.)

Agrajag posted:

Yeah, the E5 isn't regularly available (although I still expect it to be sold more often than the M6) and also doesn't have pref MM.

So on my 46th try in the M12, I got SPG-15. :toot: I had probably an equal number of tries in the M44. The reason i hate arty and would love to see it removed is I didn't do a drat thing different on that try than the others. It was just lucky dice rolls. Fully aimed shot at a stationary heavy? Miss. Half aimed shot at a moving Cromwell? Right down the pipe. Bounce 4 HEAT rounds in a row? Done that, too. It's stupid. It felt like farming rare mounts in WoW to me because it was just similarly RNG dependent.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
I remember winning several company battles with all-TOG teams. Some of them were assaults too.

Yeah, but that was with players that worked the tree and knew what they were doing. Today it was "win a battle even if you suck, win a free TOG rental". So you've got morons that never drove a heavy or higher tier tank before and now have to learn a steep learning curve because tier 4 on up is an entirely different game than the bottom poo poo tiers.

Well, worked my way up to a Mastery 2 mark on the skorpion. Got it working over Fiery Salient sitting in the NE side just behind the stream farmin' heavies on the hill and mediums daring to flank through the village. Three kills in retards in chat started bitching about me camping and wanted me to charge up the hill and brawl. I'm a loving TD with no armor, loving morons.

This starts up after the team spam clicks the map over my location, then the hill. Note where the light is on the minimap. This is as far up the hill the team goes and the heavies get mauled till one on half health is left. He abandons the hill and the heavies before they even get there and runs off to cower behind some hills, then over the tracks to hide behind the rest of the team. his name is Bookhorse, and you'll see him again. He bitches about camping, he's fired a few shots that did no damage on the hill, killed no one, just hides through the whole thing behind everyone else while "spotting" and demands i go play tag with a T 9 TD and a T 9 heavy

Its more like Grill-eh. German has a neat aspect that they have almost no silent letters, so pronunciation usually comes down to just enunciating every letter.

The fact that your retard teammates can see when enemies are suppressed and suppression damage gives you decent exp makes arty roughly a billion times better and more fun.

Dear non-English speaker, do you know how English phonetics work? You do not pronounce the "e" at the end of words.

If it is a word from a foreign language, and you want the pronunciation preserved you need to preserve the accents in the spelling.

So if you want--that's a weird concept in itself--Grille to be pronounced Grill/e/ in English, you'd have to keep the accent egu, and spell it Grillé.

Otherwise, the anglicized pronunciation of Grille that you keep hearing is exactly the correct English pronunciation. :science:

Your other option is to change the spelling of the word to match English phonetics. So you could spell it Grillay...

keep in mind the majority of those TOGs will have the stock 50% crew they came with and are therefore blind etc, I played like 10 battles yesterday using a LeFoof as my exclusive tank and feasted heartily and at one time a TOG came with like 50m and didn't see me? Or the guy hit V by mistake and never figured out how to get the map etc back? who can tell? Anyway I shot him twice for near point blank and it didn't seem to see me just turned it's turret left and right knowing not from whence it came.

what happened to that guy that taught us how to speak german and botted a lot I miss him.
