It's really hard to get 0 wn8. I think if you do nothing you still get 250 just for being on the winning team. Also I just want to let you know everyone's playing so badly I can't lose.

Atomizer posted:I'd also be curious to see what the difference in stats would be if you didn't quite intentionally statbad (i.e. by blocking allies shots or bumping them, etc.) but rather moved around just enough, and sprayed fire just frequently enough without doing anything to help. Think just locking cruise control while pointing at the enemy team, maybe plinking a few shots at something you know you can't pen, all to play intentionally worthlessly but make it just obvious enough that it's an actual player and not a bot. Platooning will certainly help drag teams down as I suspect will having an arty in the mix. If you see me in game on Kill_Me_For_Gold or Herr Cartoon we can make arrangements for improving our play.

I'm not a good player, but I know my stats are higher than most so I can tell 100% when theres arty players using it on the enemy team because of the constant bombardment. Also the side effects of twats suiciding because the win rate was 42% or just spending the game insulting new players with low stats. Its loving toxic and I wish it went away.

I'm gonna grab myself an IS-3 soon-ish, is the KV-85 worth keeping around? I can't recall ever having played it, but I think I was awarded it when they changed something in the tech tree, I recall having the old KV-1S with the big ol terrifying gun.

I fully plan on doing that in the IS-3, but the IS has much less armor to pull that style off. Whatever, I'll give the first 122mm a spin and then just unlock the IS-3 /edit: gently caress me, the rounds are as expensive as those of the Skorpion G

The 122mm is the gun to use on the IS. The low pen is not an issue against 95 percent of super heavies that will let you shoot their lower plate and sides and you can overmatch roofs of a lot of tanks, T 29s, AT#s, IS-3s, Swedish tds. As long as you can aim in fully you'll hit most of your shots. The IS has taught me more about how to play than anything in my 6000 previous games. It's so fun blasting things for 400 damage that I'm not in a hurry to get the IS-3 anymore.

Why is it so difficult for you to believe that a middle-aged woman so unused to computers that she uses her real name for their account, and obviously plays with her equally bad husband who also uses his real name for his account, is legitimately terrible at this game? Why is it somehow easier for you to believe that someone would deliberately code a lovely bot and run it for 1,000 battles on an account named after a random middle-aged woman between 2015 and now?

Goddamn, the IS is good. Might just keep the tank around after unlocking the IS-3. Still don't really feel like unlocking the top gun by itself instead of getting it by unlocking the IS-3, damnit.

You can mount the BL-9 on the IS-3 without upgrading the turret or suspension. Soviet bias, etc.

I think this is the way forward. However: Things haven't really started very well. I have done ZERO damage total and yet still managed third class badges twice.  In general trolling news:  This guy arced up in chat (upon being called a poo poo player of tanks) about how he drove them for real. Whether true or not this was truly delusional and relevant in exactly what way to his WoT performance? A++ Would troll again. And a palette cleanser   0f

I'm not a good player, but I know my stats are higher than most so I can tell 100% when theres arty players using it on the enemy team because of the constant bombardment. XVM is a set of interface mods including minimap and other tweaks (some of which have been integrated into the main game.) The stats portion is a separate element that can be disregarded, but the other components of XVM are quite helpful. Duzzy Funlop posted:I'm gonna grab myself an IS-3 soon-ish, is the KV-85 worth keeping around? I can't recall ever having played it, but I think I was awarded it when they changed something in the tech tree, I recall having the old KV-1S with the big ol terrifying gun. The KV-85 is a paper tank with 3° of depression. The DPM on the 100 is nice but that depression is very limiting. I'd rather play the M6 any day. serious gaylord posted:I need 180,000 exp in 36 hours to get the FV-183. That's only 5k XP per hour! You can do it! Gogogoogogogoo!!! Duzzy Funlop posted:IS question: I keep the 100mm and skip the D-25T because it unlocks with the IS-3, that much is for certain, but I'm also skipping the shittier 122mm because of its handling, right? They buffed the 100 on the IS so now it actually has DPM. I'd suggest at least using that over the first 122. McGavin posted:I used the first result of a Google search to prove an idiot wrong on the internet. Get over yourself, champ. Your Google search didn't prove anything, champ. WN8 is a measure of activity, and unless there's a way to get less than 1 WN8, that account has performed about as little as possible. There's a difference between being terrible and not actively playing the game. You can name an account whatever you want and still bot it. And no, I don't believe the individual controlling that account coded his/her own bot because loving nobody does that, champ. They found a bot and are using that. Maybe they're using the one stickygreen0 uses/used, because its stats are pretty similarly awful and that's a known bot. And you want an actual plausible explanation for this whole thing, champ? The dude created an account for his wife and runs a bot so it can get her up to the tiers he wants to play with her! (Not that that teaches her how to play at tier 10 or whatever.) Maybe she shares his account when he's not using it, but obviously when he wants to play they both can't use the same account, so solution: bot up another account for her! Was that really so hard for you to comprehend, champ? Because while we really don't know what's going on there, one thing is for sure: that account is not being played by a human being for every battle. The stats clearly prove that, champ.* James Garfield posted:bots don't have 38% win rates Uh, and this is apropos of what? You're saying bots have better or worse winrates*, etc.? And your actual proof is...? Just FYI 38% overall WR is among the lowest I've seen over several years of playing, at least on the US server. *And actually, on the subject of bots and proof, I found some more on known bot stickygreen0 which actually is evidence at least of what a known botter can accomplish. Note that its stats are similar to the "lady's" account discussed above, with a WR well below 40%.

Have some replay shenanigans: http://wotreplays.eu/site/3993606?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542 First, skip to ~7:00 on this one (after I die.) Watch the chaos that happens after the Strv flips itself on its side and we can't get anyone to overturn him in a close game. http://wotreplays.eu/site/3993608?secret=32096e0ac00a7665211f2e49e576c542 This one features a bot that we had run into a couple matches earlier (he did nothing that battle either.) I called him out right at the beginning because unfortunately he was on our team this time. What he does, though, shows how he got those stats, and why I called him out. 2 WN8, <39% WR. He might not bot all the time but he clearly spends most of the time doing so:  >2k battles over 4 months (>16/day, every day,) <31% WR(!!!!!) over >300 battles in the IS-6"B" is pretty telling, to say nothing of the rest of his vehicles (much being in a 40% Church 3): http://new.noobmeter.com/player/na/vladimir_k_bestplayerna/1026559213/ Edit: I forgot to add that it's probably a "reroll" or gimmick foreigner's account (he speaks Spanish and broken English, and has a "trollish" name,) but still, when there's a human controlling that account it's clearly a retard.

Regardless of whether you feel it is creepy or not, do not post other people's facebooks in the thread. Nothing of value is gained by doing so. This is not the internet of 2005 where people could link to offsite things and we would laugh and move on. This is the internet of 2017. People who lurk and do not even post here may be reading, may take said facebook and decide to wage a petty vendetta because they are bored. The internet is a hyperbolic mess of one upmanship, and people have allowed themselves to put way too much of their lives online for people to do with whatever they see fit. Can we agree to laugh at people from a distance if we must and not pave the way for worse things to occur out of our hands?
