Why you would play enough games in an ARL44 is however another thing.

If you're willing to shoot the straight awesome +dmg gold rounds the ARL gets than it's actually a really cool tank.

Ayup, the ARL and the SU100y are the examples that come immediately to my head.

Also I should probably stop playing the Luchs since it's an obvious bullshit machine but here is a game.

Edit:
That TK on my part was the Type 95 with one shot's worth of damage to his name. Kept trying to take his worthless pot-shots at the expense of constantly knocking my vehicle and knocking my aim off so I just turned around and sent him back to the garage, the loving oval office. This is his service record:

I wonder how self aware the average shitter is. Do they think that they're good and kicking rear end when they get one shot per battle in and are blissfully unaware of the absolute reams of data that exist showing that's about as far from the truth as you can get?

Every single one that ever contacts me post game definitely seems to think that they're not the problem.

I dunno, but it really says something when arty is one of the top 3 in damage and experience on a team. Or when one manages to kill 5 while the rest of the team dies

Speaking of shooting people in the butt, I got lit in my O-Ho the other day while traversing an opening at the very beginning of a match, there was a single Fv207 on the other team, so I tensed up really hard and went "please don't be pre-aimed here, please don't be pre-aimed here, oh god oh god oh god" and the very next second I got slammed for 600 or so damage.

While that's bad enough, I spazzed out so hard the moment the shell hit that I pulled the trigger and slammed a 977 damage HE shell in the butt of my team's Amx 50 100.

Guy was chill with it and said that had happened to him as well :shobon:

I had an SU-85B contact me after a match I lost the other day, saying how much he loves spanking noobs. He did an overwhelming 50 damage while the O-I Exp. on his team carried them with over 2K damage. I think he was just mad because I killed him.

I had a game recently which we almost due to a BatChat with average stats. After completely missing the flow of the map and letting east flank of steppes fall, he decided to skip stopping the cap and instead hunt down an AMX 1390. Every time he saw the AMX he stopped and aimed, while losing HP to the snap shooting AMX. When he finally gets to cap and reset he basically have lost all his HP to the AMX, which he managed to kill in the end. We actually won in the end.

The 100mm French gun for tiers 6-8? Something like that is still super special in that its premium round not only increase your penetration but it also adds 30 more damage. Load nothing but premium with it then get called a noob gold spammer and when you try to explain that it does more damage too, they will politely inform you that gold rounds don't do more damage.

As for self-awareness I think two things that are holding me back:
1) I almost never shoot gold ammo.
2) I fully aim 99% of my shots from stationary positions.

Not doing 2 seems so counter-intuitive to me.

There are a lot of situations where getting where you're going (or, alternatively, not getting hit) is way more important than hitting some guy at 380m. Just take the shot, if you miss you miss. If you hit you get to say "All skill no luck" or something and also piss Hellsau off.

Always a rare treat: a good challenger game.

I came thiiiiiis close to loving it up when it was just me versus a Crusader SP. Would've been a massive egg on my face. In one part, I just don't know the reloads I can expect from arty since the changes. On the other, the Challenger always finds new ways to disappoint me every time I do something. Think you've got that Crusader in sight and can surely pop in two shots before he moves around the corner? Naw, you're gonna low-roll that already low-alpha gun and then your gun's gonna take just that extra bit too long to fire off a third. Think it's okay to fire while even vaguely moving? Good luck. Think you can make that corner? Not in this tank.

That and the pressure getting to me. I just hate this tank so much.

After the ludicrous snapshots I've pulled in the O-I, T49 or that really dumb time I just snapshotted an RU-251 with my IS-6 to win a close stronghold fight, I have no room to complain. I wish #snapshotmeta didn't exist but it does and choosing to aim your shots is usually a mistake.

The weird thing is, I think if Wargaming teamed up with Thrustmaster or Logitech again and sold a "shooting pedal," there's a semi-decent chance that it might improve accuracy. Using the mouse but not needing to click it to fire would remove that very subtle push forward that comes with each click, or the occasional microshove that comes when you're all ~jacked up~.

it's just shooting as soon as your gun is pointed at the target. it's not a terribly technical term.
