I have a mostly 4 skill Hetzer/Skorpion G/E25/Dicker Max crew. It would be nice if the germans had a good top tier TD to grind for.

 Looks like everyone has the same idea for slapping low-tier TD's today, which means it won't work at all. I just played the Wolverine after this instead and got

The Version 4 is making me do genuinely dumb poo poo repeatedly. And it's not even for a lack of situational awareness, or wisdom of what to do next like back in my early days. There are countless occasions where the smart thing would be being less aggressive and hanging back a little bit before pushing in, but I just steam full-spead ahead over every ridge and around every corner screaming "WITNESS MEEEEEE!!". My configuration of crew skills including controlled impact probably doesn't help either.  Should probably drop my "legacy" camo skills on a loader for safe stowage. With two loaders, you only needed it on one, right?

I mean if you're gonna play that tank you better play it like an unstoppable rammer with an optional gun.

I mean yeah, going to the dark side is undeniably fun sometimes, but compared to a meta where you could use the whole map it’s a bad trade off.

I think part of it was that ~back when I was good~ I didn't have to worry about the environment killing me by flipping my tank on a hill while focusing on a target. I only had to worry about my own team being lovely and the enemy team being barely competent. Of course, this was all before #snapshotmeta, too.

One of the first games I played when I picked this back up a couple of weeks ago was playing some low tier light tank. I flipped it on its side trying to run over a parked car going up the hill on the north end of himmelsdorf. I've been up that hill hundreds and hundreds of times and that never happened before.

Mesadoram posted:Also before gold ammo was available to everyone... When gold ammo was available for credits, the issue still wasn't there like it is now. Either just general economic inflation or a change in how credits are earned is what makes using gold shells at the drop of a hat so easy. I dunno if wargaming actually changed that, or if the fact they keep giving out credit boosters is what allows it to happen. But either way, it is there more than ever. On the other hand, I also feel like armor isn't as effective as it used to be. Even with gold shells, a maus angled could still bounce them. Where it can just eat a face of gently caress you in the same situation now.

don't forget the 50% sales premium shells used to get. used to be that you could pay 1k silver for a 200 pen AP shell for the T-54, or 2k for a 350 pen one. now that was a good deal

I don't think they ever figured out how to make autocannon shells not stupidly expensive. A few bursts of premium from a Pz1C costs more then the tank does.

I've been driving my tier 6 car around, and because they're so wild they're designed not to roll over when driving fast, except last time I played on two occasions I took a modest jump straight over a hill and then immediately rolled 90 degrees midair and instantly exploded when I landed on my side.  CitizenKain posted:I don't think they ever figured out how to make autocannon shells not stupidly expensive. A few bursts of premium from a Pz1C costs more then the tank does. They unlinked shells from gold completely not that long ago, which should've immediately let them manually change the prices of everything instead of making the lowest shell cost 400 credits (=1 gold), but nope, Wargaming hasn't touched gold ammo prices yet! Supposedly that'll come when they rebalance gold shells, but we're already in super secret version 2 of that plan coming up on the supertest, so who knows.

Well kind of, but they either have to grind for quite a while to accumulate the tens of millions of credits that the tank would be sold for, and/or spend $100+ for gold/credits. There's still some value to grinding out the tank when you'd be playing the game normally (so if you're one of the people who played FL for both the rewards and the boosted credit earnings if not XP, then you'd still be pretty content.)

It'd be loving hysterical if WG is juicing streamer accounts to make them able to play better and skill just inadvertently outed them. The real test would be QB testing with his main and PlaysForFree account, but there's no way he'd ever bite the hand that feeds him - he only gets critical of WG after it's clear everyone else is.

This is weird because I was thinking it could be something to do with the screen recording software causing issues but that would effect everyone. He had 10 guys and 80% of them had lag of varying levels. Circon would be the next person to check with but hes away for a week or so.
