Upcoming patch:


Well time to see if I know what I'm talking about. I'm assuming that two good tanks plus a good arti will be able to win their flank 90% of the time, then be able to cleanup whatever's left reasonably easily. Expect that meta to be incredibly frustrating.
Any word on them fixing chat and the friends list server issues?

lol. I mean seriously Wargaming fix your broken poo poo. The official forums are hilarious on the issue with someone (who I hope is a troll) suggesting to uninstall, delete any/all WoT registry keys and then do a clean install. Many report that this doesn't fix the problem. The suggested solution was to flatten reinstall the entire PC. That must be some sweet tasting Kool Aid.

Not really sure if a platoon with an arty will be that good, the damage is still super rng and you need to fight at the right spots to get support. It might be the way for me to get that lovely 2500k assist damage + top xp mission done.
All arties of the same tier have the same xp modifier right? Any tier10 arty that would have an advantage to become top xp due to some mechanics I am missing?

Yes I have all T10 arties, it's me, I am the skycancer.

You want to be bottom tier so you can shoot higher tier tanks and gain the XP bonus from that. You also want to ensure to get all the killshots possible while still letting you reach your assist goal.

So I guess the warcrimes panther is gonna be the new hotness for a few weeks. WG is gonna be handing them out like crazy. I sold mine about two weeks back and now own one again because i completed the mission I didn't know about. something like win a battle and be in the top ten and you get a free Panther/M10. I didn't even do that good with my 999 ping (first time I've experienced that in some time)

They are rentals. I'm both enjoying and dreading all the normal players driving them. I enjoy them because they are easy to farm damage if you know how to mitigate their strength. I dread them because the average player on my team will fail to kill a Chrysler from full health despite having a 3:1 advantage at < 100m. I did more damage to him in my IKV.

Why did you sell it btw? It's pretty good in tier now without being broken like the E25.

I liked throwing my E 50 crew around in the Pz. T 25, Panther/M10 and Panther 8,8 in one day. Almost made that awful grind to the 10,5cm somewhat tolerable (back when you had to grind through the 8,8cm L/100 first).

Edit:
Matchmaker's still a big piece of poo poo, 18 games in a row and I've been bottom tier in all cases, whether a two or three-tier spread.

Speaking of awful grinds I'm almost nostalgic about the time I had to go through the M3 Lee as a new player. It's the only tank I've played so far that allows me to pop out just my turret and nothing else. Shame the rest of it was so horrible. The height of it too was additional salt on the wound

Somewhere out there, there have to be some people thinking "holy poo poo, I'm always top tier, this new MM is awesome!!" because this is mostly my experience as well.

I was getting poo poo on pretty soundly by MM last night and had managed to claw myself one win away from 50% and was ready to throw in the towel. I queued up the Tiger II, got top tier as one of the only heavies on Stalingrad (with no OP heavies in sight) and a ton of juicy medium targets, decent teams. Karma was finally on my side. I gleefully start driving towards the enemy team and.... my internet shits out. gently caress you Comcast.

Anyway I had to know so I checked this morning and we won the game. Thanks team.

^Every time i play my Skorp in recent weeks I get nothing but t10 battles where most of the team are t10s.
Compared to my s-51 where I want to be lower tier to farm damage I get constant top tier matches and the damage ratio, when not repositioning because "hur, flank's gone", is just sub par turds.

lol here's my ranked stats:



66.9% chev/battle, 50.7% winrate! My loving baseline winrate is 64.22%, but I'm consciously forcing myself to earn the top 3 rather than risk it by trying to win, dying, having my team gently caress up and throw the game, and then getting no chevron AND no win.

There's a lot of tier 9s which are much, much better against tier 8s than some tier 10s. If you're in a tier 8 and you're facing like an AMX 30B or Cent AX, it's much more fair than if you're facing like a Type 4 or E75 or E 50. Hell I'd rather face a Cent AX than a Defender.

Naw you have two more rank points than me, I went and ground credits and wins with PANSYs. I don't care enough to bother getting a high rank, just doing the bare minimum to stay in the top 10%.

Also lol yet another game where Dodoma and Wallhacks play like complete poo poo. That was a very convenient fire for you.

The Valkyria Chronicles tanks? Yeah they're both broken as all hell if they weren't changed from the supertest. The stats are on Tanks.gg if you want to see, though the models aren't.

I looked at the internets and it seems that they're gonna sell them on other servers because they like money, and one fact stood out - they can only use the crew they come with which are some kind of loving annoying anime pedo voice crew, one male, one female so lol can't use em as crew trainers but at least they're Mad Skillz like the rudy / bromwell etc crews, also those crews can't be retrained to another tank because anime and potato.
