Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

If you start today you can still get 9 of the 13 tokens. On the other hand, T6 and 7 prems are 30% this weekend for the special. There's also a decent mission + gold package you can buy which might be decent for starting on a new server:

:eng101:

If I figure out how to get this dumb region-switcher to work, and don't have to install yet another full client-folder, I might take a shot at it. Those missions should be reasonably doable even with like 180 ping or something.

Are tokens still sold in batches of 5 for 4.99 or something like last time for the pilot missions?

I've done my part also today! I should have known it would be a bad day when I get southwest spawn on Highway (which I get > 75% of the time according to map data). Driving the O-I. Never stopped, never got close enough to shoot anyone. 0 damage game.

Played a game on west were myself in a Type 4 and a VkB went into town on Windstorm, literally every other tank on the team went north and still lost the flank. Was straight up 2v7 in the town.

The tumor is still there, but it's been swapped to the Israeli version so it's a lot smaller. I'll take it.

We also get the M60 floodlight and more machine guns.

The T28 Proto was the ONLY tank in the city on Mines, the WZ goes from the middle to the city, I expect them to kill the drat Proto so I can do something....and they just turn around and run.

They're redesigning the turret completely. Both the pattons are going to have 200mm+ turret armour now, which will actually make them superb tanks and not get immolated the second they're spotted.

You weren't the only to get stuff like this. Suiciding lights, heavies that take a shot and either sit there to take more without doing anything or running away, teams that lemming train and get wiped out by half the other team. Seriously I had one match where every heavy died without doing any damage. No, there was no arty on the map.
Best was playing Highway from the north spawn. I'm heading in to town back by the edge of the map with the T26E4 while all the heavies are heading along the tracks. The other team's light comes up and spots them and the whole group stops there and tries to take shots at the light while arty bombs them and their tanks take the town.

I had a TVP player bitch and moan about getting into a tier 10 match and he had a flid out and refused to play. Just sat there not moving. Didn't exit to garage because he ran away when the enemy team got into our spawn. Honestly what is the point.

Also had this game yesterday.



One of those games where everything goes right, the retards are on the enemy team and your team isn't quite good enough to steamroll them before you rack up enough damage. The last tank on the enemy team chose to suicde into the water instead of getting killed which I was a bit annoyed about as he had enough HP to put me over 5k damage and I assume finally ace this thing

They will tell you that it is your mods causing the problem, but I ran a test where I cleaned out my WoT install and it still drops packets on a east and goes to poo poo on west. I've also been noticing that sometimes on east, my frame rate will sit at 59/60 likes it frame locked randomly despite playing windowed. Don't get me started on how if I don't autohide my task bar, the game will randomly decide not to open in the correct resolution.

HFX pretty sure with borderless windowed it'll still lock Vsync on and you may not be able to remove it That might be completely wrong. Tanks is still bad and even though I barely play the kv-220 is pretty much the pinnacle of the game in terms of OPness since I can gleefully play pants on head and poo poo out a 70% wr.

Never go 0 line on Highway. If the enemies are camping in J9/K9, you're going to be useless. If the enemy is pushing up, you're going to be trapped. You want to push the south spawn back into the enclosure in K9 so that you can pick them apart from multiple angles. Going 0 line doesn't help with that. If you're super slow or worried about arti, just crash through the industrial area and exit through the west gateway or sidescrape off the south exit if your tank can handle that.

Nah, I normally take up a spot at the end of town so they have to come around the corner. It's just all the heavies stopped and focused all their attention on that one light while the other team filled into town. I was the only one actually shooting tanks over there till the heavies decided "yeah, we better focus on something else" after a shitload of their health got scraped off


I feel like this game wants me to suck forever on the Stug III. I either play it and get lag spikes constantly till I die or get poo poo rear end horrendous teams that leave me trying to run/defend two flanks. I think I have yet to have a game I survived in it or broke 400 damage and have a 20% WR in it. gently caress me

The T20 is amazing and the T25/2 is basically the same as the T20, but with better gun handling, terrible turret rotation speed, and less HP. I enjoy them both.
