They are putting the Renegade back up for sale. Which is another tank I recommend. To me its a much harder hitting and accurate Patriot. Just does not shoot as fast.

Not sure if I recommend the E 25. It's good but it sure as hell isn't balanced. I don't know how you guys feel about the unicum guides but the one for the E 25 is very spot on.

E 25 works best (i.e. is most fun) when there are three of you roaming around and snapping up opportunities to go poo poo on whatever isn't paying attention.

Yah, Renegade is a great tank. Good gun, bouncy turret with a weak spot that most people at t8 don't seem to know how to take advantage of unless you let them look at you long enough. But by the time they figure it out you have already usually knocked about 900 hp off them.

Renegade is a hidden gem of a tank I owned and I feel bad for not playing it more.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

i'm returning a favor to a goon itt by reviewing a very special book. stay tuned

What do you guys think about replacing the "Rewards for Merit" with more daily missions?

On the one hand this is less opaque than Rewards for Merit, but are you getting less overall?

It's OK I guess. Less random? :shrug: Less good for people that play in long stretches every day.

I like them going down the daily missions road, but I do not know why they have to get rid of the reward for merit system, maybe just change it to give things out less frequently but give cosmetics like camo uses and crew skins.

T-44 absolutely requires Safe Stowage on your loader, and even still you're gonna go up once in a while.

It's great for people like me who can't really do more than 10-20 battles per day. Just complete the missions, get rewarded, and every 8 days or so get 100 bonds. What's not to like about it?

I would like to save up a shitload of bonds so one day I can aim to get the T95/FV4201. So these missions should help speed things along rather nicely.

Remember when the only crew skills were the basic camo/fire fighting/repair? T-44 in those days required you to dedicate a slot to wet ammo rack. Also back in those days, the t-44's ammo rack was even weaker than it is now.

Just pay money for the T-44-100 which is faster, more accurate, and for some reason has tinier ammo racks despite using the same gun, turret, and hull!

The engine hp is extremely low, so more fires. Still, next time the -44-100 is on sale for gold I'm getting it.

It was a whole lot more "fun" way back when during the Russian closed beta test when everyone in the US was playing with a *minimum* of ~150ms ping.

Anything past 300m or so would just teleport if it was moving across the screen. The T-44 had something going for it with its speed that made the issue worse.

I have a bunch of screen shots from early game, and goddam what a mess it was. Especially looking at the old matchmaking for tiers. I know really early on, it was something like 1-2, 2-4, 3-5, 4-7, 5-10. Later on, they made it so 5s could only see up to 8s and 7s up to 10. Except light tanks and SPGs. For reasons, this included tanks like the A-20 or M5 Stuart, both of which had guns that not only could hurt anything above their tier, couldn't spot anything either.

The early matchmaking tiers were 1-2, 3-10 which was incredibly dumb but funny before tier 10s started to become commonplace. There was no finer act than boxing in a maus with 3 tier 3 tanks.

Me and akulaz once mobility killed a Maus with two Sherman M4s. He died flanking it, then yelled at me in TS to get right the gently caress up in front of it and the Maus was screaming at his team not to shoot me.

Then there was the time where Marder won a clan war with strategic tank wrecks positioned on bridges.
