I do a hybrid of active and passive scouting. I have telescope, coated optics, and camo nets on mine now. I will probably switch out the camo net with my crew is 100% camo trained.

Look at all you people actually scouting with your light tanks. 90-95% of the match as a light is better spent pretending you are a medium with no armor, poor pen, and okayish dpm. ROFLburger posted:Has anyone, in the history of tanks, ever equipped a Cyclone Filter? I have on the A-44 to see if it would fix the issue with the engine being dead every shot. I've tried it on the ELC too. In both cases, I don't think it is worth it.

BIG HEADLINE posted:http://sandbox.worldoftanks.com/en/ My most fun battle over the last week or so was a pick up stronghold match where both teams had all Cromwells or light tanks and charged into the same spot for a 7v7 melee that was over in around a minute. This new game mode sounds like the opposite of that.

"Let's make the maps bigger, add twice the tanks, and by extension add four times as many places to camp, then let's mash five person platoons together (because those are so easy to get going) so there's a high chance of clan collusion and/or people who can't actively coordinate logistically save *having* to use team chat or *our* in-game voice tool. In short, let's make WoT even more terrible." On the plus side, arty in this mode would be ~hysterical~. I can't wait for the "if the maps are larger you need to make the ranges longer and the projectiles faster" posts. They'd need to make the incentive to play these *enormous*, because they'd easily have 15+ minute queue times.

I think priority numero uno after deleting arty should be adding that cool little feature that XVM (or whatever) introduced where you can draw arrows and poo poo on the minimap. That thing is super helpful AND I think you could probably draw a dick with it.

I'm assuming artillery cannot be in platoons for this mode just like in randoms, and if you aren't just jamming a five-strong platoon you deserve to suffer just like you earn everything you get when you solopub. Presumably this will end up being a tier ten only mode because I'm certain the matchmaker would detonate trying to make correct matches otherwise, and draining off tier tens from the queues will really help random battles.

Lower reload/repair costs on the match so tier 10 players wouldn't lose their shorts on a match, and they could have something. Plus a 5 person wolfpack of T49s/Sheridans sounds hilarious.

I just finished my 5th skill on my Cromwell B and I'm not sure what I should do with my Radio Operator and Loader who both have firefighting as their 5th skill. The Radioman has access to Signal Boosting and Relaying which seem completely useless. He also has access to Call for Vengeance which seems somewhat useful but is a perk and requires the skill to be at 100%. The Loader has access to Intuition and Adrenaline Rush. I'm not even sure how Intuition works but Adrenaline Rush sounds kind of cool. But once again its a perk that requires 100% skill level to function. Assuming that I will never complete the six skill, is it worth resetting for any of these perks and then going with firefighting as the 6th skill since firefighting doesn't need to be at 100% in order to have some effect?

Adenaline Rush is a perk that has an extremely low chance of being relevant, but when it is relevant it's one of the most absurd boosts possible. Intuition and anything to do with signal range is useless, and some percentage of Firefighting is probably more useful than Call for Vengeance. I wouldn't bother spending the 100 gold to reset skills (you definitely cannot afford to credit reset since that'd be like 800 thousand experience wasted).

Finally got mastery in my Jagdpanther and finished TD-15!  http://wotreplays.com/site/3495230#erlenberg-herrcartoon-jagdpanther It was one of those 'everything comes together' matches that included my team being terrible but not quite as terrible as the enemy who fed heavy tanks one at a time at me in cover with superior view range. The majority of my team lemming trained to the East and left me, an M7, KV1, T 67 and a T-50 to defend against: A T-29, 2xOI-exp, T28 Concept, KV-85, KV-3, SU 100Y, T25 AT and an FV 304. It wasn't long before I was alone on the West flank against all of those guys. Not before the KV1 bitched me out for 'not being an arty'. The T-29 was lucky as gently caress, I bounced three times off his hull somehow. By this time everything on my side in range was dead. I took out the SU 100Y and the rest of the team beat me to the last guy to deny me a top gun. Yay team!! On crew retraining. When ever i get a new tank upgrade I want to train my crew with gold. The trouble is this is expensive if you are upgrading a bunch of tanks. I'm right in thinking this is the best use of gold though aren't I?

Cartoon posted:On crew retraining. When ever i get a new tank upgrade I want to train my crew with gold. The trouble is this is expensive if you are upgrading a bunch of tanks. I'm right in thinking this is the best use of gold though aren't I? The best use of gold is swapping equipment up tiers so you aren't tying up tons of credits buying lots of equipment during sales. The second best use is resetting skills, since you lose vast amounts of experience by dropping skills after like halfway through the second skill. Retraining with gold to a new tank is fine. However, you only lose about 40k XP by credit retraining. That's a lot, but if you've packed 40k XP into an unchosen skill, that will fill in what you lose by credit retraining. If you have a compatible premium and a bunch of XP and Crew XP boosters laying around, you can probably make that 10% back in ten games. The real killer is if you're bringing up a crew that doesn't have Sixth Sense or Safe Stowage yet, since every 40k you lose pushes those vital perks back a lot, so in those cases maybe gold train the commander, gunner and loader and credit train the driver and radio op? Oh also don't bother gold training radio operators ever, their skills are super minor.
