MariusLecter posted:Which is the superior tank, Thunderbolt VII or the Fury? Fury is an Easy 8 with a crappier mantlet (I think or it had the HD mantlet prior to the E8 getting it) and the Thunderbolt is a more maneuverable vaguely less armored Jumbo. Thunderbolt reminds me of the Super Pershing play style but better at it for the tier and not as mind numbing because of having at least some speed and acceleration.

I forget the exact message, but Wargaming had this ingame message about checking out the premium shop for your individual "special offer" available only to you!!! So I went to have a look to see what garbage they were trying to peddle. Special offer Super Pershing on the left, regular old Super Pershing on the right.

Also, I loving HATE being pitted against tanks that I often cannot penetrate at all even in a dedicated tank destroyer, so having preferential matchmaking with only up to tier 9 vehicles appearing seems like a particularly big point in favour of the Pak 43 Jagdtiger to me.

It requires you to continually damage and track someone for its gimmick to work. The lower plate is made of cheese, and in a game dominated by high pen alpha cannons now, I am not sure how relevant it remains.

The speed seems to be equal to that of the Ferdinand, but I'm guessing by your comment that it doesn't have adequate engine power to accelerate properly? And that I would have to be hull-down at almost all times to actually make use of the high frontal armor? Especially that last part makes it far less appealing because you simply won't have that luxury everywhere you go.

Hey guys guess what, I didn't have a loving rammer on my Maus, so I went from 11.25s reload to 10.36s reload. I didn't even think to check if I had a rammer because I was firing so loving fast and putting out so much damage. This tank is stupid.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Didn't the plan on changing the JT88 by giving it a bigger boomstick, but changing something else about it? I seem to remember them planning sort of a reverse-JT88, the "JT (H)" which has the Ferdi's 128 (or I guess the JT stock gun as well) but regular tier 8 MM. Gimmick Account posted:So it's not good?

I was thinking of buying it, actually, but I'm otherwise only slowly working toward tier 7, so I don't know that much about late-game stuff. The thing about the JT88 is that it's slow and not very fun to play, but fires cheap shells and does constant damage (potentially). The end result is that it's profitable, but difficult to win with (so you trade WR for credits) and not very enjoyable. Pref MM is a bonus, and while it's not that we're saying not to buy it under any circumstances, it's just not a "fun" tank, it's a "work" tank, if that analogy makes any sense. I don't think I've played mine in a year or two. Gimmick Account posted:Ok, that's good to know.

And that I would have to be hull-down at almost all times to actually make use of the high frontal armor? Especially that last part makes it far less appealing because you simply won't have that luxury everywhere you go. A lot of vehicles, particularly German ones, have weak lower glacis (I think that's both the singular and plural) although the JT88 actually appears (according to the 3D model at tanks.gg at least) to have a stronger plate than the tier 9 JT (120 vs 100 mm, respectively) which means the JT88's frontal hull is roughly 200 mm effective overall, versus the same for the upper but only ~160-170 for lower on the JT. That's not a ton of armor at tier 8 either way, so if at all possible get either vehicle hull-down to leverage the ~250 mm casemate (which still isn't even that spectacular.) Agrajag posted:How do I even value my account anyway? I think only rare premium/reward tanks are particularly valuable, but I haven't tried to sell my account so  Also, the whole chargeback thing is kind of a risk of the EULA-violating account-sale process, but conversely if you still have ownership of the e-mail address to which the account is attached, you can do an account recovery; I actually know a guy who did that just to gently caress over the guy to whom he temporarily sold his account, keeping the money and retrieving his account....  buglord posted:Can I get reinvited to the clan?

Cartoon posted:Of all the things that WoT could do to improve my enjoyment of their lovely game this is top of my list. I have a bunch of stupid poo poo pubbies have pm'ed me that I want to share but can't get a screen shot due to server bullshit. So just have my ARL pain in png form: I kinda hate the mastery system. Had a game in the KV-2 where I pretty much raped the other team with one shots. Carried the game, came out with multiple high rank awards including top gun, got a 1st class mastery. Since I was to tier everyone was either equal or lower so damage was kinda sub par Played another battle, did kinda meh performance wise and died, got a couple common ribbons and got a mastery badge. Was mid tier in this one and because of that I got more damage. Just seems a waste the game I owned on was less than the one I kinda "eh" through

Since there wasn't a lot of discussion about this tank yesterday - aside from one comment - I watched some YouTube videos to get a proper feel for it and then... bought it. Yeah. Anyway, I agree with everything you say here, from a mechanical standpoint. I am having fun, though, (because I'm just not used to being able to bounce 2000-4000 points of damage in a match, and it's amazing! I've always been on the other end of that horseshit), but holy crap are my win rates ABYSMAL! Right now, after 25 battles in it, I'm at 32%. I'm straining my head to think up a plausible justification for that, since 1) one team member, even inexperienced, should not make this big of a difference in a usually bad team, and 2) teams are completely randomized, so logically, the other side should have the same amount of shitters in the long term. You'd think that to reach this kind of low, you'd have to start firing on your own team from the get go. As a comparison, my win rates for all other recently used vehicles hover around 50 percent. What a weird vehicle.

Yeah. Small sample sizes. You aren't able to have an outsized effect on your battles with the JT88 since it is just too slow, so over those 25 battles you just happened to lose four or five more coinflips than average. Play more games and make more credits and it'll even out eventually. ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Edit: Lol look at this poor deluded mother fucker, have fun with the next tank hombre.

Yeah. Personally I think win rate for the newer people is going to be a struggle to keep as high as previous people did. It might just be because I draw the short end of the stick, but watching entire teams melt no matter where you are or what you do happens vastly more often than before I dunno if it's because MM prevents you from having heavy/medium/TD dominating teams, or arty not being able to carry as much, or if retards are really flooding into the game.

With only 3 top tier tanks, if they're retarded you lose. If most of your mid tier tanks are retarded. You lose. If you get mm where they have heavies and you have mediums. You lose. Basically there are a lot more ways for you to lose without even having a bad game. The inverse is also true. Alot of games end 15 to 4/5 these days.

You lose. Not all the time, I had a game on Sand River yesterday which was mostly meds (green), two e100s, some other heavies, and a T95 that just tried to roll through the river and they all died. Good mediums can usually sway the battle either way. quote:I dunno if it's because MM prevents you from having heavy/medium/TD dominating teams, or arty not being able to carry as much, or if retards are really flooding into the game. As a regular clicker, I feel that a big part is arty not being able to carry. In my tier 9 arty I can do like 8-1100 damage per minute. Sometimes higher if I get a lucky pen, but I only pen like 1% of the time. You can track and slow down a push, but you can't really put a dent in it, especially if the heavies hosed off and didn't do much damage to the pushing reds.
