I think I am up to 20 losses in a row. I just.... gently caress.

I just got the T44, need one win to get the turret to get the gun. Lost 5 or 6 in a row so far.

All of my teams are melting. I cant stop it.

Edit: Side note, is it worth it getting the T-44 top engine?

I thought I was the only one who didn't mind the T-34-2! It was the 34-1 that pissed me off (no armor, no depression) whereas the 34-2 with the 100 mm was a fairly nimble Type 59 with regular MM.

By default you get an URL that brings you to a page with the image on it; mouse over the image and at the top right should be a tooltip/pop-up thing for more links. I always pick the one that's already formatted with [img] tags.

I had a great time with the T-34-1 but the T-34-2 refuses to co-operate, despite the fact that it's practically the same tank (complete with crappy armour and -5 gun depression). Being one tier higher really doesn't do it any favours considering the negligible firepower increase over the T-34-1 vs what opposition it now faces, and the absurd number of TD's per team at Tier VIII (thanks WG) makes sneaking around a flank almost impossible (on those rare occasions where the poo poo map design even allows it).

No Fun Allowed.

I blind shot a French Wolverine in my leFH18B2. After the game ended there were 5-6 messages from the guy accusing me of hacking, being a "debil" and various colourful racial and sexual slurs.

If you're stationary in the spot where you were spotted, or puttering along in a straight line it's not hard to blind shot you in a leFH18B2!

I almost purchased that tank awhile back but it is on my to buy list when it comes around again.

Speaking of buying tanks Captain Blaargh peer pressured me into buying the Progetto 46.



Which also means I will be progressing through the italian line. Which also means I will hate myself more.

Fair enough. :golfclap: Although to be honest, you did do top damage and have the best-case-scenario, where both teams were largely potatoes. If either team was halfway competent you probably wouldn't have earned top XP.

Now that HP and alpha are being increased, I'm not sure how it's going to affect the chances of completing the same mission.

The T-34-1 was bad because it had a mediocre gun (including handling, from what I recall) and not enough depression to use the little turret armor that it has. The T-34-2 has a better gun and mobility so it can scoot around without worrying about trying to get shots hull-down. The latter is actually just a better version of the former all-around, which I think just makes it more comfortable to play despite being a tier higher.

T-44 is a different tank with the top gun. I shoots quick and is overall just really solid. I just had a game where I killed 4 t9's. Lost it, but I did 2.8k damage and killed 4. I am happy.

Might just keep this...

It's a good tank - just be careful about fighting close in and showing your right front quarter. There's an ammo rack hitbox right there, which veterans know to aim for, and complete newbies have a chance to hit when they try to track/damage you at an angle.

Yeah - anyone know off-hand how much the 250k book you can buy for 2m silver skills up a crew from scratch? I've got my Progetto 46 all filled up with Christmas crew and since they're already 2-3 skills with their 3rd/4th acting like a first skill, 250k on top of that would be pretty disgusting.

Fun fact: Because WG is WG, you have to put the crew you want to skill up back into the tank they're certified for to actually use the skillbooks. It won't work when the crew is in a premium tank, it won't even work if the crew in the premium tank are all certed for the same tank.

EDIT: Google can be a wonderful thing sometimes, seems 250k is enough for two skills and a decent chunk of a third on a "zero-skill" crew: http://wio.ru/strat/wot-exp-eng.htm

Here is an unusual match up. top tier at a leopard pta which isn't unusual because of t9 matchmaking. However, the weird part is make up of the teams.

One heavy per side, one arty per side, and only a couple of tds per side. The rest of both teams was made up of mediums. We won on cap points, but from the way the enemy team was breaking up, the cap pressure would have been enough to probably clean them up eventually.

Also on scene, a leo pta taking a more forward position than you'd expect.
