With the light tank changes will Bulldog XP be moved to the T71? I've got the crew training at the moment but I could probably turn it off and build up XP since I haven't unlocked the T71. Is the T71 going to magically unlock since I've researched the Bulldog?

It sounds like all XP is going to remain at-tier, so don't bank a ton of it on a vehicle that you know is being up-tiered.

I shouldn't have given all of my alt accounts effectively the same email address, hopefully the scavenger hunt prize team is a script on a computer and not a really bored guy going through 10000 entries.

So the bonus code, what exactly will it do? It says it isnt needed. Also when they hand out prizes is it first come first serve? IE the first 5% get the type 59, or will it be a random 5%?

I read good, it is a race. Bonus code "adds to your prize". However, if the bonus code comes after the rest of them then wouldnt it be wise to forgo the bonus code?

So I managed to get "Scout" in a KV-2, on Himmelsdorf of all maps. Let that sink in for a moment; this goes alongside my "Raider" medal which I got while driving the Chinese IS-2 around Redshire.SocketWrench posted:Tier 8 battle, nothing lower than a seven

SocketWrench posted:Tier 8 battle, nothing lower than a seven I'm genuinely curious what it takes to pitch a 39% WR. We've had the discussion before and general consensus is that if you're at ~43%, you're a detriment to your team and would just generally be better off sitting in spawn doing nothing. What does it take to get 3% below even that?

There must be a set number of Type 59s being given out, because how else would you know the first 5%?

They do those invites because they think they get extra platoon xp from dynamic platoons. Then they leave the platoon immediately after the match and form another dynamic platoon in the very next match. You can tell them that dynamic platoons don't get the XP bonus for same-tier platooning, and they should notice themselves after each match where they're not getting an XP bonus, but they're pubbies, and resistant to advice.

^ Don't. Most of the time it's some suck player just spamming everyone with an invite till he gets a platoon together. All they'll do is drag you down. either find a friend willing to destroy their sanity and play with you, or platoon with some fellow clan members. but random invites are normally shitters looking for a free ride.Barry posted:I'm genuinely curious what it takes to pitch a 39% WR.

What does it take to get 3% below even that? I think mine's around 45 or so. I'm certainly not proud of it. I admit I'm not a great player, but even carrying teams you just get stuck with a lot of bad teams. I had a streak of 9 blowouts this morning where the entire stack of heavies and mediums melted without doing a whole lot. There seems to be a new trend on the Malinovka map where all the heavies camp or ignore the hill to just get wasted by arty and TDs. Got on Lakeview and no one wanted to spot the middle road while all our mediums and a heavy were held up in valley by a single medium. I've gotten more damage points a few times than the rest of the team spotting in a KV-2. Watched my team's heavies get lost and spread out on Ensk to be picked off one at a time. I've even watched half the team lemming train off a cliff to try and crush some idiot that slid down there backing up on the Arctic map. But on everything I play I'm getting second mastery and third mastery pretty often with a sprinkling of first mastery. I'm just at a loss on what more can be done when your team definitely, absolutely wants to lose. Tier Xs seem to be a special brand of retard. Like they make it and then think everyone has to listen to their "sagely" advice or suffer a dressing down for not listening. And then when those players are proven wrong, they continue to bitch about how lovely a player you are SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Apr 5, 2017 |

Display at least SOME level of technical competence before you can pollute higher tiers with your particular brand of worthlessness.

I used to do that too, but then I noticed that it almost always seemed to be a player colored red or gray by XVM and I realized that inviting everyone on the team to a platoon was added to bot programming.

We've had the discussion before and general consensus is that if you're at ~43%, you're a detriment to your team and would just generally be better off sitting in spawn doing nothing. What does it take to get 3% below even that? Help the other team win. I've seen it usually not be griefing, but instead, ending up in tanks that are anchors (strong heavy with high hit points for tier) and giving it to the enemy team. Don't do damage, die at a time that helps the enemy team start their snowball, don't play a corner well, don't play the correct role/map area, and so on. And just do that every single game. If a t10 game has 22k hit points per team, let's say, and you give up your E100 and do no damage, it gives the other team confidence, removes a fear factor keeping their 39% reds from pressing W longer, kills off 10% of your team's hit point pool, and more.

SocketWrench posted:Yeah, I get a kick out of sniping E-25s and just blasting Cromwells at full speed. It's a great tank as long as you know its limitations and take along a buddy. Once you're on your own though, it's sheer luck that keeps you alive.    2368 spotting and 1035 damage blocked, haha. Best tank.

What does it take to get 3% below even that? It's significantly more difficult, and requires substantially more coordination with platoonmates, to get a 39% winrate compared with getting a 59% winrate. If you're trying to stat bad (the opposite of stat pad) you need to do the exact same things that would otherwise earn an exceptionally high winrate:
Back in the day there was a clan named [ARMED] that sold toasters and dishwashers with their clan logo. If you had an [ARMED] platoon on your team you were hosed.

Bumping good players when they're aiming and parking behind them when they peek around corners are two key tricks in a stat badder's arsenal. Personally, I just perform the PIT maneuver on everyone I can.
