T29 is speedily getting to be my fav tank thus far. It's nice being able to damage T9 stuff without relying on gold and have some damned armor to back it up. The only downside is I get a lot of HE flung at me because "Lol, can't play gude".

The FV's only mistake was a lack of speed, though parking behind the GW and HESHing to kill both of them would be equally funny.

I can't gripe. I somehow managed to bounce my T29 of an M12 arty tonight and was just left going "Whaaaaa? Balanced gameplay!"

Lemmingrush was the dumbass who went mid in their E5 on Fisherman's Bay and got 0-damage owned by a goon and their team, right? lol

I think you're thinking of this non-goon dude who was in G, his name was something that started with an E like "excelsior," who got owned by RED MENACE and it was made into a video by Battlecruiser.

As the guy who killed Lemmingrush while he was streaming, I think you're mistaken. He didn't get 0 damage though, he got 3 or 4 shots off.

And I run spalls on my arty to minimize counter battery fire, seems to work, I rarely get one shotted unless they aim real well.

He was probably referring to your encounter then, but the one I'm referring to was similar (guy in E5 on Fisherman's Bay, killed by a goon after doing 0 damage.)

Not an e5, was a t57. And red menace was in a lowe. T57 played used to be part of mlp. I do remember that.

Yep, with the spawns in the bottom theres no way that map will be any good. Move the spawns to the C/D lines however and its much more playable. As it is a heavy tank will take like 4 minutes to get to the middle part of the map before it even gets to do anything. Super heavies wont even bother going north of H.

Secret Confessions of a Stat Badder - Farewell to arms edition



http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/You_R_Pwned/1028781412/

I pretty much don't play WoT anymore. It's become like hate loving. What have I learned, discovered, determined or proven? Not much really, but let me try:

A/ There are too many OP tanks that skew a team's chances too hard. If I had say bought an E-25 and then set about throwing matches I would have done significantly better.
B/ People are obsessed with stats in this game and have no idea what those stats actually mean.
C/ The player base is beyond toxic to the point of being toxic and radioactive.

How players get below 40% after any significant number of games is a mystery. There are too many gently caress-ups on BOTH sides to make anything remotely certain except if you are driving an OP tank. The RNG starts at the match maker and we are all at its mercy.

And so onto the obligatory powerpoint presentation:


- "Oh wait you weren't the idiot I was meaning to insult". - http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/ozzie21/1001954764/ Bastion of the clue.



-NA "All stars"

-OK Weasel. Username required. Those were STATE SECRETS!


- Sure Tony. http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/The_Tony_Davis/1001167208/ You are an inspiration to Stat Padders everywhere.


- All Arty, All the time. http://www.noobmeter.com/player/na/Heed_the_Call_up/1029322947/ Lol

Lmao the E25 is the 2nd most op tank in the entire game and thats just because it doesn't have a turret.

I tracked a Leo on the old Fjords map once in the first minute, he used his repair kit but you know, 2 second reload so tracked him again. Then just kept firing at the same spot even when he wasn't spotted anymore for 30 seconds until I killed him.

I had a message after the game from him just saying 'why'

I was in a match yesterday in the Panther M/10 top-tier 3/5/7 on El Halluf. The other team had an E25 with a competent driver and I thought to myself "he's going to win this game himself." Which basically happened. We won the battle in the NW, were up by like 4 tanks and started to work on cleaning up the base campers while that little cockroach just killed everyone without being spotted. What a loving stupid tank.

Man, I want one of those so bad, just not bad enough to buy one. I always went for the tankrewards crate that had possibility of e25 prize.

Most e25 players I encounter are terrible though, and I probably wouldn't be much better than that.
