Playing the same tank last time I played I got Stalingrad 6 times out of 15 games. I haven't seen Prok or Fiery Salient in 4 weeks. Did they remove them? quote:But you still can get bottom tier constantly and mediums and heavies count the same when MM is putting matches together. You'll still see games where lights/arty are the top tier of the match

Ranked is so monumentally dumb for Tanks. It works ok for boats, but man does it seem like it would be total rear end for tanks.

There are no reach this tank and you can't drop below it. 3 hours a day only. Encourages playing for yourself rather than the team (Sims).

You trade a hell of a lot off for 90 more HP. Also here's the tier 5/6/7 Swedish TDs. Have fun with the tier 6!

It would also improve matchmaking in the higher tiers by keeping more people in them, not that it's been particularly bad so far, but interest will drop over time.

Holy cow I did 46 points. Which of the prems should I get, or should I just roll the dice on the mystery package? M4 Improved, Ram II, or Matilda Black Prince? Edit: NM I just rolled the dice on surprise crates and just got equipment. unbuttonedclone fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jun 8, 2017 |

hey I'm back playing this terrible game because I'm bored and its summer and I hate fun. How the heck do I get better at scouting as light tanks? It seems like a lot of it is based on map knowledge, which is sorta hard because theres so many more maps now. Are there any guidelines/newbie tips/YouTube personalities(ugh) that can help me pave my way to success? I'm not totally new at light tanks; I'm rolling with a tier 6 American tank. I think right now my biggest problem is being spotted. I'm still tens of thousands of exp away from Sixth Sense, so I'm having to rely on intuition which isn't exactly great for my hitpoints. I'm making a conscious effort to play conservatively enough so that I survive until the end of the round. But I'm also trying to get some spotting done so I'm not twiddling my thumbs the entire round.

buglord posted:hey I'm back playing this terrible game because I'm bored and its summer and I hate fun. A harder target allowing for missed shots to warn you of being spotted. Able to pull back into full cover easily. Also when top (or even middle) tier forget about spotting and embrace the inner arsehole. Find a good sniping position for the early part of the match (until the enemy dispositions are clearer) then look for ways to get behind people or run amok in the artillery and back rank of non-turreted TDs. Do sick jumps and handbrake slides at all times.

If their poo poo starts pushing through your spot, don't fight, run away. To be a good scout you need to stay alive. I can't count how many battles I've seen where the lights all die in the first minute or two because they go in fighting and gently caress over the team.

I know that Artillery is for shitheads but I have to play them because missions and all that jazz. With my excuses out of the way, holy loving CHRIST the AMX 13 F3 is just staggeringly, shockingly, loving poo poo. Slow reload, awful shell arc, awkward gun traverse and unbelievably lovely accuracy make every battle nothing but a reason to wander off during the countdown and boil up a Pot Noodle. I hate it. I loving hate it.

After playing more ranked battles than are healthy already, here are my observations about what tanks do well and which ones should be in the trash heap. Ones with a * next to them are ones I have personally driven. God Tier:
Good Tier:
Fair Tier:
Poor Tier:
Poor life choices:
The god tier all seem to have this common unifying theme except the Strv 103B. It's asset is to be that rear end in a top hat who farms damage gaining you chevrons even while losing. HFX fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jun 8, 2017 |

I don't have any other frame of reference but it's really not very good or remotely fun to play.

While I often get hosed off by the abysmally shite range and piddly alpha of the FV304, that thing actually hits targets every 12 seconds and races around like a medium. The Hummel is more accurate than the F3 and hits harder, while also reloading faster. The M44
