LT-15 seems easy enough, just play the AMX 13 105 and hit and pen every single shot that your tank carries! I mean yeah it has .42 accuracy and the already unreliable 13 90 has .38 but that shouldn't be a problem.

You know those little nation flags you get with XVM? In case anybody doesn't know, you choose them yourself in the settings on modxvm.com. I started with Cameroon because it looks cool, then I tried Israel for a little while and now I'm on to Pakistan. The Palestine one is pretty nice too.

NA Server people, has the packet loss been fixed or at least lessened? There was a minipatch which allegedly was designed to fix stuff, and I can't be bothered to suffer through the lag to find out if it's still there.

If you're doing that, you might want to post an email or ask in discord to see if anyone can send you a friend recruitment message. They get a free premium if you make it to tier ten, you get a shitton of XP for platooning with them.

Holy poo poo, 30 vs. 30 Frontline My sides are actually hurting from laughing. It's a refreshing mode, not even joking about it, but the poo poo that can and will happen is downright comical. Both unintentional poo poo happening to you, as well as shenanigans you can pull yourself. Since there's these weird codes all over the screen, I'm assuming screenshots aren't kosher, but I don't recall agreeing to an NDA like I did with World of Warships, soooo uhhh...? Not entirely sure how they want to fix the blatant sniping in this mode, specifically on the only available map. I mean, you can tell they tried...it just didn't work. Also: distance traveled 29km

raffie posted:What i meant was to gather enough free exp to unlock tier 5 or 6 tanks without having to grind up through the lower tiers. I'm looking at tanks i'm familiar with so the american and russian mediums and heavies predominantly although i don't mind the german meds either. I have less than 10 games on my NA account and don't really want to deal with the lower tiers and wait times. Ok, this makes more sense, you just want to not have to play low tiers. It sounded like you just wanted to have any tier 5 or 6 in your garage for ~reasons~; in that case the only answer would be just to grind, since there's no way to buy XP. I would have recommended against buying a tier 8 premium as a new player and would have even offered to help you grind out the low tiers, but it sounds like you're already experienced on one of the other servers. In that case you should maybe take a peek at some statistics like XP/min and find a premium tank that you like, although the recommendation for premium tanks is still going to be to buy one that you actually like playing and/or that will help you train crews. Darkrenown posted:How does the Improve result thing work for personal missions? I did HT-15-3 without honors last night (poked out of base in Malkanovka, blocked 10k, shot 2 peeps, and died). If I try to repeat it to get honors got I lose the reward? Does claiming the female crew member prevent me from repeating it? You can improve results at any time, even after claiming the reward. You're just going back to accomplish those secondaries and claiming the extra credits.

I really really really don't understand the light tank situation. When they first put them up, everyone said they were garbage shitboxes. They then got a huge buff and they turned into great tanks, and over the last few weeks have been hobbled more and more to the point that they are effectively pointless since a T10 medium is better than them in every conceivable way except camo rating? Why?

Yeah sorry about that i should have made it clear in my post, I've got about 5k-ish games on the asian server. I'll get myself set up on the NA server and see what premiums are for sale on the store and on the tech trees before i decide. I'll get at least one russian med or possibly two. I'm currently in love with the Panther/M10 which i bought recently, just got my first Radley-Walters on it a few days back.

Probably because at first when everyone said they sucked no one really knew how to use them. Then they got buffed and people got really good at using them. Now there's prolly a lot of bitching that because some people are so good the lights are too good and need to be nerfed. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's how WG figured what to change than by listening to pubbies bawl about poo poo. Yeah, sure, lights are a pain in the rear end to everyone else, but they're easy to kill if you don't suck

So I marathoned my M41 Bulldog to make 100,000 xp in 3 days in order to get the T49 before the patch hits, and it was actually really enjoyable! I even managed to get my win rate in it up to 60%, even though I was playing solo at 150ms+ latency. Its one hell of a little tank!

You're fortunate to have gotten a chance to play it before they gently caress up lights. As I understand it, the Bulldog is getting raised to tier 8 and getting nerfed at the same time.

I find it amusing that while World of Tanks generally looks pretty good (imho), the standard for tier 10 competitions has apparently become the Maus, a tank that looks like it was designed by a 9 year old working in minecraft.

I would rather play it all day instead of the T49. I finished the T49 last night. +200 over expected damage, close to 80% on mark of excellence. 49% win rate. Every other light I've managed to hit at least 55% and feel like I could easily improve them to 60% now that the crews aren't garbage. HFX fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Apr 13, 2017 |

I do not understand why light tanks have less vision than medium tanks of the same tier. "Oh haey we noticed that you all think it sucks to be -3MM in your light tank with no armor or HP so we'll make sure you get regular MM with a lovely tank instead" Seriously why the gently caress I'm going to be getting three useless tier 9s in my garage now. I generally tend to at least understand why changes are necessary to the game when they are made, but this loving baffles me.

It baffles you and it baffles me because it's dumb as gently caress. I've considered grinding the gently caress out of the Bulldog to get to the T49 and seeing if I can get to the LTTB from the MT-25 and free xping what I can't... but why bother? To unlock lovely tanks with no real role?

The only thing I'm looking forward to in this patch is that my Blackdog, Type 64, and Type 62 will all feel like they are good for their match ups. Wish I had a AMX 13 57.
