My tanking's been sidelined by a hardware problem. Or a video driver problem. Either way, my tanking's sidelined for the foreseeable future.

the trump tutelage posted:I just blew the goddamned LT-15 mission for the Stug by getting greedy. I followed an SPG into a ditch to kill it & break the 4000dmg mark but then couldn't manoeuvre out in time before a second SPG bodyslammed me. The second SPG was lining up a TD shot on me which coaxed me after the first one into the ditch but I should have just retreated and played it safe. Shoulda played Brit, then you could shout "Tally ho!" on your way down

Wow the M50/M53 is a joke. I have to do about 400dmg at tier 9 a minute to get 62k for the "real" gun. This thing does less damage than my M44 stock. Where do they come up with this poo poo.

I guess it's the same logic as the Skoda T50: make a really, really good tank miserable to grind by forcing you to use a lovely gun for several tens of thousand XP. Hope you have free XP!

How are the two Russian TD lines branching from SU-100? Realized I had actually gone up to SU-100 (though hadn't bought it) back when playing WoT the last time some years back, as SU-85 then was way too fun, and might as well pick up those again when not in mood for the few British lines I'm grinding...

SU-152 is hilarious. The ISU will probably be hilarious (if I ever get there) and the OBJ 704 is also very good. Dunno about the tier 10...I think it's passable, but uninspiring. On the flip side the SU-100M1 can't aim down or to either side and catches fire a lot/losses the engine. No idea on the 101. Looks like it gets a bit of a doom cannon, but my guess is that it is a bitch to make it work. Looking at WR stats the 122-54 appears to be not very good as well, but the T10 the better of the two lines. Edit: Conventional wisdom is go into the SU/ISU line keep the SU-100 (because it owns) and then eventually unlock the 100M1 and....play a different line because that thing is bad. Weirdly looking at VB the SU-152 has the worst WR of all tier 7 TDs and I find that massively surprising, but pubs going to pub. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Jun 2, 2017 |

My only Soviet TD is the ISU-122S which is hilariously mercurial. Sometimes I will pen everything and have a monster game and sometimes I won't hit and/or pen a drat thing. Either way, I actually like playing it even if it's a lovely platform casemate TD. Blapping fools for 400damage shots at Tier 7 is always enjoyable. I think I'll play it until I get sixth sense and then go up the tech tree with that crew.

The Su-100M1 is great, esp. when you're top tier. The armor bounces a lot and you can just go bully people with yer pew pew pew cannon.

I say that the T1 and M6 are good tanks. My friend liked the T1 but his M6 was cursed and he could not do well in it. Then again, my first Kolobanov's medal was in the T1 heavy, so maybe it is the better tank tier for tier.

I'm really hating that RMB doesn't lock the turret now, and I don't want autoaim on RMB. Is there any way to get it back to how it was? Dunno why they force-changed a basic control like that :/

Tournament stats/bragging: 4700 gold won. 45 total battles. Records for each tier: Tier 4: 7-2 (2nd) Tier 5: 8-1 (1st) Tier 6: 8-1 (1st) Tier 7: 7-1-1 (2nd) Tier 8: 8-0-1 (1st) Total record: 38-5-2, for an 84.4% winrate. Not bad. Other stats: Personal tanks played: Luchs, T67, Skoda T-25/Cromwell B, AMX 13 57/T29, AMX 50 100 Credits spent: about 800k (should have played more premium tanks) Luchs best tank: yes Premium tanks OP: yes Chrysler GF: better than all Bad calling from Hellsau: yes Instances of Hellsau berating teammates: less than you'd think Instances of Hellsau berating WGA tournament team and map designers: ∞ Goons being hosed by RNG: frequently Pubbie complaints: many

Barry posted:The flakbus is garbage and the Nashorn isn't much better. The toaster is pretty drat good for a turretless TD; it has no armor and is huge, but it's pretty fast and has three viable gun choices, including [a version of] the long 88. You know, the Tiger's gun...at tier 5...on a vehicle that sees tier 3s....  The Nashorn's pretty good too, the long 88 is way more effective at tier 6 than the JP4's gun choices.Nitramster posted:whats the goons info these days? the private forum is archived and I haven't played in a while. Just decided to buy a month of premium and would like some of my old friends to platoon with Are you NA or EU?

Stock guns are usually garbage that are there to intice you into free XPing past them, but arti gets hit especially hard by a weak gun. At least you're not a stock gun ST-I!Atomizer posted:Aw, should've gone with "Seal Team Ricks" instead! Good news! I went with "WoT Ruins Goons" because obviously it's true and also because Goons Ruin Everything is over the 20 character limit for a team name. Why a 20 character limit? Dunno, they had no problem with longer team names until some time in 2016. Seal Club Six is pretty good though.

I'll worry about exp and crew training before I'll worry about *rely on team to not suck to get some free poo poo*. Can't count how many times I track/disable someone and the team backs off to hide. I end up focusing a lot on Jap heavies too. Way way too many battles where I'm the one doing the only damage to them.

I actually managed to finish the T28 missions yesterday but it was bad and took ages. Now I am on the next set of missions trying to finish all the medium ones for my 3rd crew member for the Swedish TDs. Not sure which set is actually the easiest, but figured I'll work on MT ones while I grind xp on my WZ-120. How active are goon platoons these days? I had a good time in one on friday. If you see an SGLE player, that's me.
