Snap shotting is when you shoot before aiming in fully, or in lieu of stopping to aim in fully.

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~.

That's why you bind fire key to voice recognition everytime you yell "gently caress"

Even though it'd hurt my ping, I'd much rather they move the servers to somewhere in the middle of the US, like Kansas, remove USW and USE and just have a single server. We barely have enough players to justify one server as it is. This would also allow them to pick a new backbone provider, avoiding some of the awful packet loss issues plaguing many players.

Okay, so the turret doesn't HAVE to be rotating. Just from experience it feels like the least accurate shot in the game is stationary and 75-90% aimed.

Hell, a lot of the time I snapshot the S-51 I manage a hit. I let that bitch aim and for some reason half the shots land just close enough to stun a few seconds. And if there's rocky terrain, forget it. Snap shot it or you will hit the rocks every time

Heh, half the time their servers now can barely hold traffic at low periods. They're just gonna go with the dirt gently caress cheapest system they can which means the game would be a slog for everyone all the time

Like I'd be playing a lot more Tanks if we could platoon artillery. I'd be helping Exia grind out his tier 9s while raining death and stun on everything in front of him. Artillery is incredibly powerful right now because it has the same or better damage output that it used to, just averaged out through its games, and also stuns things.

Yeah, but Euro wise, isn't everyone over there taught multiple languages or English? If so it's just the players not choosing to care and being dicks. These are players that legit don't know any language but their native one, most of the time suck, and when you try to help them they don't know what you're saying.
Watched a KV-1 on Airfield the other day that was stupid enough towards the end to go camp the south hill the lights fight over with two E25s and an arty in play on the other team. I tried to tell them to get off the hill, the E25s will spot him because he's blind and if arty doesn't gently caress him, they certainly will. The only reply was "spanish" and died about a minute later when the E25s shot spammed him

Yes.
Having something taught in school doesn't mean everybody will learn it, sadly. :v: And I have no idea how much schools in all the various European countries teach English anyway. Or used to teach back when any given player was still in school. And another factor is how much people are exposed to English in everyday life, like through TV etc. The end result is that if you pick a random EU tanks player, it's a complete crapshoot whether they know English adequately or not.

The extra splash and aim time reduction is what made the difference. Also the ability to kill tanks behind a rock which is funny as gently caress. You're absolutely right about the damage output too. The damage is far more reliable now, which means I actually feel like I'm contributing to the team. Smacking 4 tanks on a corner with one shell is also brilliant.

Stopped playing randoms for now and have just spazzed around in Tier VI Skirmishes. My WR stops suffering that way, although I still have to put up with the same mongo mindset which sees useless poo poo like the O-I picked over a fast medium.

Edit:
Went back to play a couple of Random Battles and wish I hadn't bothered. Insufferably loving awful teams, over and over again. How the gently caress does a team manage to lose 5 tanks in one minute?

"Gotta get my kills!"

Figures, come here all full of myself for doing 2k damage with a unicorn consistantly, Did poo poo last night because I spent more time repositioning than shooting. Either the flank would crumble* or we'd lose two tanks on a flank and they'd all run to the the other to cower. Never been so happy I did the track and engine upgrade before as I was on this thing to bug out.

*Like Abby where a couple TDs and an arty were all that defended the river road, but rather than find good spots they camped just beyond the corner to leave the spawn on the south, so they had no cover or defense when the heavy and mediums popped out. The whole time they're bitching in chat they don't have enough support. I could have offered a bunch, but they decided to camp near base rather than spot in any way so by the time the enemy showed I had no clear area to fire. So I moved to the west where our guys were rolling their team and turned to shoot a Chrysler entering our base, then kept moving. He managed to tag me once before I got behind the hills and didn't chase for some reason. I did my best from there to keep resetting the cap, but no one came to help, they all wanted to take the other base but then only one capped while the others dicked around

Nothing winds me up more in this game is your team mates poking out into the enemies TD's and artillery instead of letting the enemy tanks come round the corner instead. I can repeatedly say 'let them come round so the 4 td's can hit them' and nope they still keep poking one at a time.

I just played a game where it comes down to me and a 450 wn8 kv1-s verse 7 enemies. I gave up on winning so I went and killed arti while the kv-1s kills manages to have the game of his life. He dies to a Chaffee after getting 8 kills. It's the only ace tanker the guy has ever had in 3000 games.

Oh and it turns out the luch with the single shot cannon will kill a Chaffee in a head on fight. Checked the stats and the tier 4 luch is the same or better than the Chaffee in every category except pen and alpha 2kmh slower better view range and way better DPM and only a few less hitpoints.

What Handed Missus said. The howitzer is the only consistently viable option, and it's fun to boot. the 10cm has no gold round (lol) and so you're turbo-hosed when you're not top-tier. Quickybaby will tell you that the 10cm is totally an option and then show you three ace tanker matches where he's top tier. Good job.

With the howitzer, you have options against EVERY target you see, and you rack up so many bruiser medals through gratuitous amounts of module damage. If your artillery isn't poo poo, you have the added option of tracking the few heavily-armored targets that have some resistance against your 15cm, to immobilize them for a quick one-two hit by you and arty.

Just make sure to get acclimated to the decrease in gun depression across your frontal hull, because it's 2-3 degrees less than the 10cm.
