The T95 must have been using the small gun or some kind of weird autobounce crap as a 155 should overmatch every time. Note: The Udes can't even bounce a Pershing round. It is obviously the Swedes were supposed to rely on changes to the overmatch mechanics which were scrapped when they found it made things like the IS-3 invulnerable to everything.

Atomizer posted:It's not my nickname of choice, but to be fair many other players may not know what we mean by "Jagzilla" or "Rhoomba" either. What the gently caress is the Jagzilla? The Jagdtiger? Or -88? I've heard Jingles call the Type 5 the "Gojira" in his most broken fake Japanese accent, but Jagzilla is now to me in here. Rhoomba makes sense, because it's a loving floor vac with a gun, so you add in the "h" and have a witty portmaneau. Same with Vindalowe, even though it apparently never really caught on. (And it took me forever to figure it out, because I'd never heard of vindaloo.

You also get more speed while deployed so you can play ridges and hills to poke and fire. The 103b is incredible, even more so once you figure out how to bully with it.

Top 25% ends at #341 (18 points 63.32%) and top 50% ends at #681 (15 points, 54.18%) so that's close enough. There are 1362 players with 12 or more points on the NA server. There's going to be very few people with an OP equipment on the NA server, and there's a whole lotta people who are just locked out of the leagues on the leaderboard. The worst 12 pointer is a coinflipper that has 455 battles in Ranked and a 40.88% chev/battle ratio. They've got a 49.45% winrate in Ranked so they might just be botting ranked mode. I have 221 battles in Ranked and a 66.06% chev/battle ratio, and I have 20 rank points. Turmoil has 524 battles, 36 rank points with a 59.54% chev/battle ratio. It's kind of absurd that I have half the battles of this dude and 2/3rds more rank points, and Turmoil has three times the number of rank points with only an 1/8th more battles. Gotta fail your way upwards any way you can I guess.

Welp rank 4, 3/7 chevs towards rank 5, and in the top 10%. I hate the playerbase so much. Every loving time I lose a chevron it's because I assume my teammates want to win and/or shoot tanks and I'm just proven wrong. Or I get into a position and fail to pen unangled Maus turret cheeks while they pen my angled turret, because I'm aiming my shots and the enemies are deliberately moving back and forth to get more bloom because #snapshotmeta. Christ. BTW T-34-85M Marathon from July 14-August 1st. So if you're done grinding Ranked, how about grinding lovely missions for a pretty good tier 6?

Kind of fun if you don't give a poo poo, but the time between rounds is really irritating when you can just die in a random lucky shot from a dude who just turned and sprayed with a pistol and happened to headshot you.

The amazing thing is, they already have a means by which they could save money - give clan commanders the ability to accept land holding payments in gold or bonds which they can parcel out to their members. They seem to have conveniently forgotten Strongholds are a thing, too.

Hellsau posted:Stage 1 end: 10% cutoff at 1200th place, 4 points, 69.23% Currently top 10% ends at #198, 24 points with 63.67%. That means the top 10% has opened up 61 spots in two days, meaning there have been 610 or so new people getting up to 12 points and entering the leaderboard. Additionally, the 25 pointers start from #156 and end at #184, and the 24 pointers end at #228, and the 23 pointers end at #274. It's unlikely that too many people are going to wrack up large numbers of points and jump ahead really high in the point rankings, especially with the ridiculous queue times. I assume that people will continue to enter the leaderboard at a reasonable rate - if the queue times at lower ranks starts being as bad as they are at higher ranks then we're all hosed. Predictions for what you need to be top 10%: Top 10% cutoff will end at 275th place 26 points will be ~90% safe, depending on your tiebreaker - 100% tiebreaker should be 90% safe, 0% tiebreaker probably closer to 80% safe 27 points will be 99% safe at any tiebreaker, with that 10% being if something extremely odd happens like low rank matchmaking simply failing while high rank matchmaking speeds up, so that the rich get richer AND the people with high points continue to play 28 points will be locked for top 10% barring Wargaming shenanigans (mass bannings, free rank point giveaways, unannounced leaderboard cutoff changes, etc) e: 25 points may get in if lots of high rank people stop gaining ranks, and lots of low rank people keep getting ranks and entering the leaderboard - this could happen if, for example, people get tired of 2+ minute queue times and just do something else instead of getting additional rank points when they already have more than 20. There's a chance the top 10% just expands and people stop racking up additional points and the 10% encompasses some 23 pointers or whatever.

Yeah, I generally just play 4-6 games on Monday to get to rank 2, so I can keep my supply of directives full with the 200 bonds I get each week. Otherwise, the weekly rewards are too low and the season-long rewards are way too exclusive.

Maus losing some DPM and HP in supertest Hit Points: 3200 ⟶ 3000 Reload Time: 12 sec. ⟶ 13.3 sec. Rate of Fire: 5.214 ⟶ 4.705 DPM: 2,555 ⟶ 2305.3 and the bottom of the hull now gets 50mm armour instead of 250mm

250mm hull floor armor on the Maus might be why it takes so little damage from the shittier artilleries, it's gonna take a LOT more from splashes now. Also the damage output will still be pretty good and going back to 3000 HP is only a problem because of artillery. The Maus is really stupid right now.

So to kick off a couple that weren't worth their own posts: This rockstar was calling everyone arseholes when I checked the results screen they had done zero damage. Now maybe this is a Wargaming bug  . Mom joke goes wrong/right?  There aren't words. Then this legend   Kick off with threats and being obnoxious during the match. Turns out it was the match I got mastery in.  http://wotreplays.com/site/3675901#malinovka-herrcartoon-vk_28_01 When called on it (The missing first line is me pointing out that I got mastery spotters etc. and carried his fat arse to a win), doubles down with the good old 'get on my level' stat burn.

Of course it was loving stupid having the poo poo be from 5-8 west coast, given that they themselves are based in the west coast and should probably recognize exactly how much that fucks most people with a job or commute over, but whatever.

Well, watched a KV-2 bitch out the team because "No one supported me". For clarification this guy sat in an open field on Fisherman's Bay and let a T-29 he couldn't see tear him apart one shot at a time. He had a MoE too, which I guess comes down to dumb luck if this is how he normally plays. We ended up losing because the West side camped and sent one tank at a time into the abyss of unspotted tanks to be torn apart

Imagine clicking a tanks week spot only to have the shell leave moments later causing you to miss the entire tank. West has been broken since they first had that problem where everything was lagging all the time. I use to be able to play on west better than east because at least there wasn't major packet loss. I generally get 20-30ms of ping to east, and 90-100ms of ping to west. For the type of game WoT is, I consider both to be playable as long as there is no packet loss.
