The captured KT is indeed a fun as hell tank.

I played a game today where I was holding the western pass from the south against a T-29, a KV-2 and a KV-1 for most of the match, eventually destroying them all.

Towards the end of the match I noticed some idiot in a Comet spamming chat with "push more KT" type messages interspersed with increasing amounts of slurs.

Pubbies.

Some goons and I experience really bad command decisions and always laugh at them on discord.

Hell once a HT rammed Cpt. Blaargh and instead of stopping to move a different direction I immedietly got behind him and both of us pretty much locked him into position.

We still won that round.

It makes me think of Allied Assault, which is always a good memory to invoke. That entire extensive period at the end of the game where you run riot with a captured King Tiger was amazing!

I love it when this happens, the loving bozo spamming chat in all sorts of broken English only sees the green shapes on the map and ignores anything and everything red in the process.

The gun is solid, and for an autoloader, the reload isn't painful at all.

It's WG, so it's probably as simple as "we never got around to assigning a credit value to bonds, and furthermore, you whiny fucks would probably demand bonds items be sold for a gold return, and in either case, the exchange rate would NEVER BE ENOUGH."

Is there a way to check out what amount of average damage you need for gun marks?

I've never really played any tank consistently for more than 20-30 matches outside of unlocking modules or successive tanks, but I've been playing the T-34 as a bit of a therapeutic measure and casually racked up about a half to one percent in MOE-gain per match without a lot of effort so I thought about maybe going for 3 marks for the first time ever as a pet-project. Good games have been around 1.2k damage, and I've been pulling my average up from 550 damage to 650 over the last 30 games or so.



/edit: I also now have BIA on this crew, and I'm maybe 20-30 matches away from having a full 3-skill crew in addition to my female commander with 4 skills. This is starting to feel like worse seal-clubbing than with the Pak40.
I've also had some really odd interactions with players over the last 30 matches. Like, really good-natured, unsolicited comments after matches, which has been more of an exception to the rule as y'all are aware, I'm sure.

:3:




This guy was some unicum-tier dude in an A-44 that I dinged for around 400 hp on that map with the stranded ships around the periphery and some small city in the middle. I was unspotted and one of his random shots tracked me after I had already burned my repair kit. Since I was greedy on my skills, I only had BIA, situational awareness, recon, and a little camo trained (since that seems to be the winner in low-tier matches), so my track repair time exceeded his reload.
Guy kept blind-firing a total of SIX shots in my direction, three of which hit me and - bizarrely enough- got eaten by my tracks.

no blind shot into the north just before you get into the city, -10 points.

backing off from the Tiger was unnecessary, they can't reasonably pen you so you could have either pushed on the T34 to ensure they didn't help push your teammates in the corner or back to their base, though the T34 did literally the worst thing they could have done and died to you broadside to their teammates

lol that m4 49 ram followed by you just ignoring them and eating the otherwise immortal Chrysler GF was good times

wow they had a LOT of idiot TDs just....sitting in the open near their base, like lol if they're gonna camp at least they could have hid vaguely behind cover or something and not let you murder them in the open

wait how did that not pen the t28 proto? also what tank did 161 damage to the side of the Steyr? lol

why are there still two enemies unspotted, you're murdering a T28P without being shot at and there's a t-44-100 suicidally rushing your arti

oh it was a bot TD hiding on the red line and a worthless full HP Indien trying to avoid repair costs or maybe just a bot, like if that Indien helped the T-44-100 you 100% lose that game to cap.

welp gg you only took damage from arti lol

Oh yeah I had some miss plays, but the enemy hosed up jussssttttt enough for me to punish them. The Chrysler needed to die, so I took a bet and ignored the Frenchie. I feel like I was able to do what I did because the enemy refused to look at their mini map. Thank ya for the feedback.
