Stevefin posted:The new MM is terrible out of prime time or low population severs, I get a lot of 10-13 teams across all tiers, below tier 6, your lucky to find a game at all Now that you mentioned it, a couple of weeks ago we got in a 13v13 battle for some reason. It was like tier 8-9, although probably pretty late at night. The games before and after it were full. It was just weird because it wasn't super-obvious, and the whole time I'm thinking, "something's weird here, do the teams have fewer than 15 players?" without wanting to count them out, until whoever else I was platooning with asks it aloud and then we finally confirm it.

Another day, another random battle featuring a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Picture the scene; you're using the M44 on Prokhorovka, happily blapping away at almost anything and everything your team spots (including some unfortunate bastard who's decided to park his Tiger (P) in the middle of the field), the score's an apparent dead-cert win at 13-6. Then some fucker pulls a plug somewhere and your team suddenly turns into the biggest pack of windowlicking mongo cretins imaginable, inexplicably deciding that slowly moving one-by-one over the centre ridge to try duelling a VK16.02 Leopard is the way to go, while some Ikv 90B racks up an easy Poole's Medal in the process. I loving HATE this playerbase. My only consolation in this loving debacle was ramming that Leopard (only achieved because his own brain went to sleep for a moment and he simply charged at me too) and shotgunning his loving turret off, even though I destroyed myself in the process. Then I loving RQ'd for the day. I have no idea how the game actually ended, but I doubt a crippled Pz. III/IV was about to score a miraculous victory.

The SPG mission to stun 5 tanks which your allies then damage is pretty bad. Better not shoot soft or low HP targets cause they might just die! Better not shoot anyone not in LoS of my team cause then I get no assist. Shoot someone in the open with easy shots on him for half my team? No one hits/pens  Should make it stun/damage combo so you don't need your shitters to help. The following mission is just stun 5 enemies, no need for damage, it's crazy.E: Also just lost a capfast mines encounter with 12 of my team alive and 15 of theirs

post patch I've played pretty much nothing but arty since I now want a M53/55. I almost got 20 straight losses in my M44 but alas I got a team that shot red tanks now and then so my streak ended at 19. However! The next 3 were losses which made up for that disappointment somewhat. The M44 seems pretty good and I'm murderising my XVM selected targets and my win rate in it stands at 32% after 60ish battles. This game owns.

I dunno, I think it's pretty difficult to pull off a successful cap on Prok encounter. The cap is so open that if a team wins the battle for it and then sits around to cap out they can get lit and taken apart pretty easily. It's so bad that if my team ever starts to cap I yell at them to push through to the enemy base. On mines it's much more difficult to do anything about a team that's fast capping because there are so many buildings in the cap. The increase in arty blast radius might have changed this though.

This game owns. The m40/43 got hurt bad by the nerf. While the M44 does minor damage, it reloads in 17 seconds so you can actually help a flank. The m40/43 does minor damage every 40 seconds or so. It's really not fun, I sold mine. I don't know if the m53/55 and T92 improve on that.

Mesadoram posted:The Chrysler GF looks like a monster. Shame about the pen, but drat that armor. What about the pen? It gets loving 260 pen APCR! The T32 gets the same AP pen and only 245 APCR. It's not like there are many other tier 8s that can face off with you where 260 APCR pen is a liability - it's enough to go through a Liberte upper plate at the usual angle, and the Chrysler is probably tall enough to just go for shots on a Defender's roof. Also the Chrysler seems like the a prime candidate for HT-12. Only needs 4500 damage blocked and nothing at tier can pen its front when sticking out a rock at 45ish degrees, nearly nothing at tier 9 can pen its front at a 60 degree angle, and very few tier 7s and no 6s can pen its lower plate reliably unangled, even when assuming premium ammo. It's even got a hundred millimeters of side armor, so it can sidescrape if necessary. Holy poo poo though, tier 8 clan wars is going to be loving awful. There's literally no non-arti non-premium tanks that are worth bringing anymore. Let's hope the fame requirements aren't too stringent because lol I don't want to pay $50 to suffer through clan wars for a bad tier 8 reward tank.

Just a question because I've never actually seen it happen. Is it possible to kill a whole crew? I smacked a Hellcat with my S-51 and cut off 3/4s of his health and got a shitload of crits on him and he sat there not moving after that till one of my lights popped him. If you can't kill a whole crew, i take full pleasure in knowing I got someone to rage quit

Yes you can kill an entire crew, it's just extremely difficult on a tank with more than two crew members. Check the after battle report, hover over the crits you did on whatever player you think you crew killed and see if all their crew members show up dead.

iirc there's one-shot protection so you can't kill the entire crew in one shot at a fresh tank. if he was already down one guy you can get the rest though.

Prav posted:iirc there's one-shot protection so you can't kill the entire crew in one shot at a fresh tank. if he was already down one guy you can get the rest though. I believe that only holds for full penning shots, with splashes not caring about your crew at all. A penning shot can only kill....three? crew member maximum for a normal shot. This was a problem like three years ago when people were just getting massacred by artillery killing their crew from small splashes. Then again there's nothing about limiting the number of crew killed on the battle mechanics wiki page so who the gently caress knows anymore.

This was a problem like three years ago when people were just getting massacred by artillery killing their crew from small splashes. That was a fun couple of weeks. Just about every shot from a SPG or a good sized HE round would kill crew. Only tank I've ever had actually die to crew death is the Pz38H, and that was from getting hit by HE for about a minute straight.

I've had my entire crew killed exactly twice, once in a very very low tier french tank (one of them that has only 2 crew members) back when the french tanks first came out, and once about a year ago in the Tetrarch, where some autocannon motherfucker managed to nail all 3 in one burst.

Then I turned off assault and encounter and have had a lot more fun.

While it typically happens to low tier tanks with 2-3 crew members, it actually happened to my STA-1 a couple months ago; I posted about it here. It's odd that it happened at tier 8, but it only has 4 crewmen and I had gotten derped twice by a shitter in a T49 in a steamroll loss. I was down 2-3 guys after the first hit and just said "gently caress it" because I only had one kit and was hosed anyway, and his next shot was a non-pen that killed the remaining 1-2 dudes but left me with like 400 HP.

I rolled my PZ1C on my alt account and killed my crew. My tank hull stayed around with all its HP, but I was dead. That's actually pretty realistic - pretty sure the crew is gonna get knocked out or worse if an eight ton vehicle rolls over a few times going 70 kmph.
