i think everyone (mostly foch) over reacted about this new premium it has super flat sides and looks weak i had one on my team and didnt look like it would be too hard to pwn ..though i havent fought one yet but i dont think it would be a problem at all (fighting one requires to play more ..than i want to) i think he relies on that wotgg or whatever site way too much rather than personal knowledge or is that qb..either way it was some site that caused him to explode rather than personal experience ~coming from someone whos never fought one yet :viggo: just use gold. has anyone noticed a much higher amount of 15-0 score games since update? iv had 2 or 3 in the past week now its crazy because i play tier 10

Well Fochs went nuts because it encourages gold use both to pen it and for it to pen

And yes, lots of my games are either near or complete sweeps, win or loss....mostly loss. Prior to the update it was a rarer thing to see for me.

I've killed two in my type 59, I got up right beside them and blasted away, they couldn't do anything. That technique is pretty situational though.

I'll say, situational enough to require dumber-than-average pubbies that don't even accidentally use their tonnage and power-to-weight ratio to simply push you away within their turning circle. From what I've seen from the Chrysler K, it spins like a top compared to the majority of other heavies.

/edit: Not to say that they wouldn't have trouble hitting you due to their gun depression afterwards, but you've got to be pretty dumb to not manage to show your front to something circling you at that power.

$200 a year on WoT. :catstare:

The only thing I ever spent money on in this dumb game was an E25 which has the nice combo of being OP and having a unique/fun playstyle.

That's about the same as any MMO with a subscription model. If you play this game any amount at all I don't know why you wouldn't pay for a premium account (economic hardship notwithstanding), especially when they were selling a year of it for $45 during Black Friday.

I've spent maybe $300 in the slightly less than a year that I've been playing and that is significantly less than what I normally would have spent on gaming if I wasn't obsessed with this stupid tankgame.

Tell me about it. I have a ~60%WR but that's definitely a fluke. I think it's better than people give it credit for. I've learned that you need to really know the team makeups to play it well. A lot of the time it's best played as a second line type medium where you need to use your gun depression and not get shot. Certain maps it's best to play the typical TD role.

e: Also it's fast and relocates well so if you have even the slightest idea that you're in trouble, gtfo

they might want to check themselves here because yowza.

On the one hand, you can absolutely make that case regarding someone that calls everything "cancer", "aids", "faggots", etc., because the real world isn't as edgy as forums are, but Wargaming going after literally anything before it goes after blatant antisemitism, fascist-glorification, and xenophobia is pretty rich.

I had to, in small bites. Some talk of how copyright strikes are bad, but then a lot of defending himself and saying how he works for google, he's honest and even-handed, then went into the non-controversial things WG doesn't do right (superheavies, gold ammo, tier 10 lights, and giving stat boosts for good players from ranked).

So very predictable.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
So I was looking around at the Grand Finals teams to figure out who I should pick for the fantasy draft thing, and I think I figured out why the NA server gets clowned on. Here's the side winrates for the RU teams:

Brain Storm: Attack 61%, Defense 38%
Natus Vincere G2A: Attack: 64%, Defense: 56%
Not So Serious: Attack: 61%, Defense: 55%
TORNADO ENERGY: Attack 64%, Defense 41%

They win more on the attack, a lot more in some cases. Here's the NA teams

Elevate: Attack: 46%, Defense: 58%
eClipse: Attack: 53%, Defense: 61%

What the hell is going on? Are the NA players just reticent to put in the effort to learn to break the camps? Are the NA callers just risk averse and rely on camping too often? Here's the rest of the teams:

EU:
DiNG: Attack: 66%, Defense: 57%
Kazna Kru: Attack: 60%, Defense: 58%
Oops Tough Giraffes: Attack: 55%, Defense: 40%

APAC:
EL Gaming: Attack: 66%, Defense: 57%
Team Efficiency: Attack: 48%, Defense: 70%

China's team doesn't get stats for some reason. Are the smaller, shittier servers (NA and APAC) just so devoid of actual good players and actual incentive to play their qualifier systems that none of the teams can build up enough quality experience to learn to break camps? Is that why the lovely servers always get clowned at the Grand Finals? Interesting to a stats person anyway.

Also you should go here https://fantasytanks.com/tournaments/5 and pick some people from Natus Vincere, Tornado Energy and DiNG and try to win some gold or something I dunno.

Yeah, but you can only pick two people from each team, so I'm going with 4 RU players (2 from Na'Vi), 2 EU players, and Vetro as my lone NA player. But I don't know a ton about players in WGL EU and RU.

probably just the straw that broke the camels back. culmination of the recent premium tanks and the upcoming making the best players even better with better equipment poo poo.

i mean even i see the WG's move to reward the best players with special better equipment as a total bullshit move
