Shout out to the guys who platooned with me tonight, we had some good games. From the last session though, statbadder or bot?:   ....aaaand this is why we can't have nice things (i.e. good tier 8 battles, with shitters like this in the game.) Who the gently caress in their right mind spends hundreds of dollars on random premium tanks AND free XP to skip to the top of one of the most newbie-unfriendly lines in the game?!?  And he/it's loving terrible in the Bat....On the lighter side, I use the Hangar Manager or "HangMan" mod, specifically the "last battle" option that changes your garage to the end position of your tank from the last battle on that map. I had flipped myself the previous battle so this is what my garage looked like subsequently:   Finally, here's the most evenly balanced match I can recall ever being in:  Bonus points to the guy who came up with the name "Blyatimir_Putin" too!

Hellsau posted:Dude I fuckin' tried, but literally every game mechanic has gotten worse and none of the bad parts of the game have gotten better. I gave it a hundred games, it was poo poo, I quit, and then they added Province back into the game, so... I would rather have Province than glacier. Glacier was built for one thing only, for one team's retards to suicide dive. Even more so than Overlord is ROFLburger posted:especially prok and malinovka I had a match on Prok the other night, no arty. We took the hill, all the guys mid had to do was spot poo poo and we could maul them. What happened? They all went to TD alley and got caught in a crossfire. I was almost at 5k damage in my T26E4 and had to watch my rewards be cut to pieces because other people are loving dumb SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Jul 13, 2018 |

Even more so than Overlord is I mean the correct way to play Glacier is to leave it. Just exit the battle. I mean yeah you could just drive towards the enemy and hope someone is there to spot and murder you but realistically just exiting the game and uninstalling World of Tanks is more efficient. Not joking about it being irredeemable though. There is literally no part of the map that belongs in World of Tanks - you could not reduce any particular map square into something worthwhile.

  I wanted to quit, but I'm weak. I'm a bad tank junkie. I kind of liked Province at first. Now that I've played it a few times I see that it's just another map that punishes aggressive play. But it's worse than a lot of maps because having a few more tanks than the other team doesn't offset the advantage of the team that camps and you cant start making plays until you have a really solid lead. I don't like Glacier either. The whole idea of tanks fighting on a frozen bay with a half sunk aircraft carrier sticking straight up out of the ice is stupid and the huge areas you have to cross with out any cover is just crazy.

It'd be cool if you could climb up on that giant....wing? in the middle of the west and actually contribute, but you can't actually shoot off of it due to gun depression limits and also you'll get instantly spotted from the south bush campers and also you'd get shot easily, and once you climb up there your sole option is to go back the way to came unless you want to swiftly leave the map in a flaming heap. It doesn't help that proxy spotting makes the entire northwest in a farce where you can't actually flank without eating a load of poo poo for your efforts.

tanks fighting at a frozen bay with a half sunk aircraft carrier sticking straight up out of the ice is one of the million and one map concepts that would work great if the map team weren't some of the worst incompetents in the entire game industry other stuff they've hosed up: tanks fighting on a rolling field; tanks fighting in a city; tanks fighting in a village; tanks fighting on sand dunes actually why hasn't there been a proper forest map? the closest thing we've got is, like, east murovanka and that's barely an hectare Prav fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Jul 13, 2018 |

I liked that we all ended up on our roofs at the end of that win as we desperately tried to hit the last guy hiding out. Good for a laugh. Too bad the servers took a dump at the end there. We kept going after a few minutes spent trying to get back in. WoT was crashing every time it tried to launch for both of us.

Prav posted:tanks fighting at a frozen bay with a half sunk aircraft carrier sticking straight up out of the ice is one of the million and one map concepts that would work great if the map team weren't some of the worst incompetents in the entire game industry It seems like it'd be a better experience if it was a much larger map, like if it was made for Grand Battles or something. Instead, it's so small that if you're in anything slow you get immediately spotted from the center just for trying to move up the far East or West to get into position towards either of those corners, so your only real option is to camp. And that's how the incompetent map dev team manages to gently caress up map design. Strike Anywhere posted:I liked that we all ended up on our roofs at the end of that win as we desperately tried to hit the last guy hiding out. Good for a laugh. Yeah I figured it was a good time to call it quits anyway. I wish our matches went a little better, but we still did well overall. My platoons went 59% for the day, and I even ran into Renn who I haven't seen in like a year!  McGavin posted:Pz. II J is on sale for $100 with a year of premium time. Sooo.....free Pz2J!!!

Hellsau posted:Story time? Not much to tell, it was Overlord map on my KV-1S. Went East to HEAT derp at anything dumb enough to try and push the road and hills but ended up having to rush in and fast cap with a light and a TD. Everything on beach and cliffs got wrecked by the entire enemy team zerging in one direction. We managed to cap them out before they could turn back around and steam roll us off their cap cause they took the time to hunt down and massacre the arty which that guy was one of. If I checked the replay he was probably pinging the map and telling us to come back and die with him.

So, I finally got the top gun for the T29 and every match I've played since has been a loss with me dying early. Is there a thing when a T29 rolls in everyone's supposed to run? Every. loving. Battle. Thus far has been me getting there and everyone taking off so I can get encircled. Hell, one I got messaged by some gently caress named Momo bragging in the most assholish way possible about doing more damage in a KV-2 because the team ran off and left me alone to die

You actually need to be able to show only your turret and have a place to back off while you reload so pubbies can't #snapshot snipe your cupola or directly down your gun barrel, at which point you can kill four enemies one by one and come out unscathed.

I don't remember exactly when I unlocked the A-44, but it was a long time ago now and it's still in my loving garage, barely halfway through the grind because I loathe taking it out. Same goes for the Leo. Absolute poo poo.

The Comet (and really the whole British med line) is insanely fun to play with a full camo crew. I played tier 10 for the first time in a few years for the dumb blocking mission and ho boy is the IS-7 a monster in 3/5/7.
