If you want to play right now is a good time, since the current missions will let you earn half a bonds equipment piece. Maybe next year, with the next set you can earn the other half. Also grand battles are really great for some of the campaign missions.

Everything I heard about -G- back when I was a certifiable internet tanks tryhard is that it was a miserable experience made slightly better only by the fact that no one ever attacked them because they just assumed they were going to lose, and that led to a lot of stagnation among their B and C teams.

So I have unlocked the IS after quite some time in the KV-85. Playstyles seem similar but it seems thenpower balance is a little off. I was rocking in the KV-85 but even in even tier matches I am struggling to maintain a decent sense of competence. My IS isn't fully upgraded, but I have the 100mm gun. Is it just a shift in many factors moving into Tier 7 or am I getting worse at tanks?

The IS absolutely requires the 122mm, otherwise it's a medium tank with mediocre mobility and bad armor.

I'll admit that I stuck the 100 mm on the IS after they buffed it, and that's what I'm using to bank XP on it after re-buying it in preparation for the new tanks. I just can't do the 122....

Here's the secret to the 122mm, waiting for it to aim makes it less accurate. This is how you should use it.

Barry posted:Supposedly the 100mm is a lot better than it used to be. I haven't tried it myself but it's viable. Just the same, the 122mm on that thing is so much fun. We used to run the 1D1OT gun on the IS until you got the second 122. At that point, the second 122 is superior as the higher alpha means you peak less which means less damage taken. What I pay for in aimtime can be played around by having it preaimed on the target, firing from a bush, or only peaking after the enemy has already fired. Playing this game to try to finish the 430 grind up (100K xp left) really makes me realize how many quality of life improvements tanks needs to make. I find the gameplay just isn't as rewarding as it could be. The RNG and map design are probably the two biggest culprits, but there are several others. The crew xp and perk system needs to be reworked. More game modes should be added. Tank balance should be adjusted less by making sure a tank is hitting 50%, and more at how a tank performs in certain population sets. While the 1.0 release coming up will probably bring in new players, there are several changes WG should have made / be making as part of that release to help make sure you retain the players. Sadly, we all know WG is incompetent, and quality of life improvements from 4-5 years ago not yet being implemented is just ridiculous. They could learn from some of their other properties on what to do to make the game more fun. The game could be so much more with a good development team. Okay off my soap box.

It blows my mind they never bothered having on-demand "tournaments" as a game mode. You form a team of 7, you each pay like 50 gold, when 8 total teams queue up you play a bracket tournament best of 5 games to see who the winner is, the winner gets 300 gold each and second gets their entry fee back. Bam, done, new game mode for competitive players and also a new way to practice for their esports. also you could just do a credits version of that

Literally all tournament pieces must be manually created and assigned. We don't want to pay for someone to do that for the NA server, so the NA server will not have tournaments or esports for the foreseeable future. Other servers may have tournaments, go make an account there if you want to compete." seriously wargaming this poo poo ain't hard BadLlama posted:esports are trash for children anyways. yeah but you need some sort of free gold payout to keep entrenched players in the game, because those players are how you keep your game alive

Have a replay of the most fun game I've had in a long time. The enemy team on my flank were spaced out just enough that they were unable to cover each other, so winning was as easy as right clicking the closest tank and then holding left click as I drove straight at it. The entire enemy team was destroyed in 4:30 without a single loss. Highlights include the 260 on my team flipping a Cent 7/1 and me bouncing a shot from a T30.

This is probably one of the better examples I've seen of how one lovely player can lose a game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIqKHSHBz38 If that T-10 at the beginning had contributed 1-2 damaging shots, the 907 would've had 2-3 rounds left over.

He EASILY could have gathered enough speed to kill a 43 HP AT-15 with a ram. Accepting one less kill and a draw from timeout should actually just result in that player having their account deleted and maybe a short prison sentence. Who is so afraid of their survival rate being damaged that they avoid the sick ram kill? Hell they could have asked their team, "Hey guys, I weigh 907 tons and they weigh 15 tons, right? Here I go!" and then gone for the ram. e: oh also they could have ignored the clearly afk SU-14-2 and had an extra shell for finishing the AT-15, and potentially won by dodging 4-5 artillery shots on cap if the 14-2 came back Hellsau fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Feb 3, 2018 |
