Most likely you got put on the teams with less Skorpions and Defenders or the one without competent light tanks. I am tempted to buy one too buy I already own a JT88, e-25 and I think 2 more premium German TDs. I honestly get more annoyed by the Swedish stealth bomber TDs anyway, gently caress those spotting mechanics, gonna buy me one of those once I got a 3rd mission female for it.

Barry posted:It would be nice if in-game stats were gone. I feel like you'd just generally have a better time if you're blissfully unaware of how large the tomato vine on your team is. I think it would lead to generally better games, because you wouldn't get those "well XVM says this is a 49% chance, I'm just going to play like a retard because it's already over" idiots. On the one hand I enjoy the game more when I do not have XVM installed. On the other hand I do better with it installed. Therefore I choose improved WR over enjoyment. What was the question again  ?

You can farm the bejesus out of everyone. Once your team sucks hard enough a flank folds and the enemy gets close enough to spot you which isn't hard since your camo is poo poo, you're pretty much screwed Got my first ever bombardier medal tonight thanks to a low health Indien Panzer and a Defender that decided to push the flank on Steppes rather than go support the rest of their team SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Turmoilx posted:ranked battles was cool untill i lost a rank made it to 3 then lost back to scrub lvl 2 FML AND THIS GAME TOO as always You need to win net 15 games in a week to lock in rank 5. 15 more wins than losses, and you can't stockpile losses at the start either, so you're not screwed if you start off with a terrible losing streak. Unfortunately the ranked battle mode is yet another game mode that Wargaming doesn't bother to support so it just dies on the vine. No daily missions, no personal missions, no platoons - no idea if personal/clan reserves work but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. Wargaming seriously doesn't give a poo poo about supporting their new game modes or are just too stupid to realize that they're the reason their new game modes fail.

I don't get why they even made that game mode, either add MMR to random battles or let it bet. Splitting the playerbase further is just gonna be bad.

You're only saying that until you have a mission where you need to kill a heavy tank two tiers higher than you. Cursed be my limited selection of non-tier10 tanks. In skycancer news, 6 or 7 games yesterday where I ended up #4 or #5 in xp, missing like one more hit to be #3 for that lovely mission.

They lose most of their camo when firing even with a camo net and crew. If they are spotted they are easy damage for most guns >= 120mm. Their alpha is low for a T10 TD. They do have great DPM, but that's about all they have. Atomizer posted:I'm OK with splitting off the 10s in a separate game mode while I'm pretty much exclusively trying to grind 8s & 9s. It was nice having less T10 games last night than normal for a 3 man platoon.

I often don't seem to be able to spot them when playing medium tanks, I tried rushing one after I roughly knew where he was but he just damaged me too much before I got close enough to fight back.

https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/game-events/tank-rewards-june-2017/ The stated missions amount to 62 points, I wonder what nefarious bullshit they'll have in store for the other 30 possible. Anyway pretty standard stuff.

I don't think anyone managed to get the spotting damage mission last time because they lowered the requirements from 5 x 50k to 10 x 10k. Edit: Ugh. They changed the homepage layout to that windows 10 tile horseshit. McGavin fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jun 6, 2017 |

So rank 5 is like holding to a 58 - 60% wr out over time, but you have to pull it in 7 days, so that would probably be a minimum of 50 games with 30 wins, unless you scored top 3 in a portion of those 20 losses or whatever. And then there are vehicle ranks and stuff. I really wish NA had the population to support a longer ranked window.

The way things are going, they'll be selling the bond-only equipment in $49.99 packages in six months. 5000g, 60d premium, and your choice of a ~speshul~ piece of equipment. Or they'll go the Warships path and put them inside random containers as ultra-rare drops for $5 apiece.

Nah, I really don't give a gently caress about those missions. I just play and I'll complete 'em eventually. Besides, there's still poo poo like "kill 3 TDs" missions where you constantly get in battles with <3 TDs or whatever. gently caress it, this game is aggravating enough as it is without getting all worked up about those loving mission requirements. Besides, there are vehicles that I'm grinding that are OK as bottom-tier (generally things with enough pen like TDs) but others that are lovely and need all the help they can get (e.g. the VTU that I just finished.) I'd love to be able to trade same-tier battles in certain tanks for bottom-tier in others. HFX posted:What's wrong with the Swedish TDs? They lose most of their camo when firing even with a camo net and crew. If they are spotted they are easy damage for most guns >= 120mm. Their alpha is low for a T10 TD.

They still have a ridiculous amount of camo, like >50% stationary non-firing. They're also kind of niche I guess, in that they have to play the back-line CHAI-sniper which can be boring and/or situational. Also the armor is bullshit, pretty much exclusively being autobounce vs. overmatch (except of course the lower tiers which are all just paper.)

I made some ok progress on the SPG missions for the 3rd tank, think I am on 13 already and I only got the T28 Concept on sunday or so. Conq GC is still a very good arty with it's big arc, just the damage is a bit low and penetrations super random. I did have a 4.8k dmg loss in it yesterday that was fun, got one shots on two mediums. They do make the game way more annoying tough, at least I feel I rage more than I usually do. "Allies need to do 800 damage to a tank you immobilized" loving SHOT THAT THING.

Also they half-fixed the match maker, and you don't keep getting the same map over and over!  ... But you still can get bottom tier constantly and mediums and heavies count the same when MM is putting matches together.
