The new Glacier map shows that wargaming really never learn.

Had an odd game today. First game in the T-34-85 since I re-bought it after coming back from my NA account.
This tank should work well with the T54 mod 1 as a crew trainer.



Also, I still love this loving tank.


You can do fun things when you're not top tier by using your speed and camo:


And when you're top-tier, you can actually faceroll and curb-stomp so goddamn hard, it doesn't even have to be a high-damage/XP game to be fun.

Are those percents people's winrates? Err a lot of percents there.

One is usually overall win rate and then tank specific winrate. Don't run mods like that unless you want to be really depressed.

As it is I don't even display player names and have disabled chat. Makes me feel a little better about my sub 50% winrate seeing all those 40s.

Duzzy Funlop, The hype 64 is the most fun tier 6. I wouldn't be surprised if the momos weren't all trying for the raider medel for that sweet 1.5x exp.

So what do you do as the KV-1 against tier VII tanks? I've got like a 30% win rate on that tank because it's super slow and you can't hurt anyone. Seems silly to be one of the only heavy tanks but then get stomped by light tanks.

You want to feel bad? Check out the japanese type-95 some time. Your kv-1 can outrun it. And for this amazingly slow speed, you lack the armor to even stop a m4 sherman's derp cannon from full penning you. Not only that, but because of your lack of armor, wargaming was gracious enough to endow you with an hp pool that mirrors the damage of said derp.

No, I'm not making that up, I once got near one shot by a derp sherman in that thing. A couple of battles later, I gave up and free-xped to the o-i exp.

Aced the E25 by being stupid and chasing medium tanks across the map shooting them up the rear end.





And I also had probably the best game I have ever played. Clowned on an entire flank, facehugged the t-44-100 to death and then took 1200hp off the VK1001, all the time I was on 51hp through constant tracking shots. I kept that up until the stupid loving borsig on my team finally got some balls and drove forward to kill him. The very first time I've felt I turned a certain loss into a win.

How do you mean?

I also just had a game were I got to apply my tank's dpm for more than one minute straight. I legit can't recall a time, where I got to sit in one spot and literally shoot and pen target after target for a solid minute and then some.

Take the plunge! Okay!

Stay behind your top tier heavies, try to sneak in a shot if absolutely sure you can do it without getting killed. Track the targets you know you can’t pen. Get the hell out of there when your top tiers start dying.

Improve your win rate by winning in games you’re top tier. You didn’t lose the tier VII games, your dumb teammates did.

I wish I got this sort of opportunity more often. I mean I did chase an idiot in an AMX 13 90 around Steppes doing just that with my CDA 105 last night, but by the time I got rid of the fucker (he thought he could outrun me by driving in circles during his reload, the fool) the rest of the enemy team had crumbled and been washed away.

In other news the EVEN 90 is more fun than it has any right to be, and platooning with another EVEN 90 is great for frustrating big dumb heavies when they're isolated

I love the Even 90. People get SO MAD at you . Drive by's on tier 10 td's before zipping off going woob woob woob is my life now.

I easily murdered a Even 90 that was trying to circle my T-54 mod 1 to death and missed twice and bounced it's other shot, shot it 3 times and rammed it for ez kill :feelsgood:
to sum up, the T-54 mod 1 is a good tank and the Even 90 is not.
