Dravs posted:Does anyone else use loads of nicknames for tanks? Was just thinking about it and I just use a bunch of them as a matter of fact now. Progetto = Prosciutto JPE100 = Jagdzilla Rhm = Rhoomba Bulky Bartokomous posted:So I finally have enough bonds for an EPIC purple equipment piece. Would the improved rammer for my JgPz E 100 be a good use of it? Seems like the long reload time would take better advantage of the % decrease in loading time. Yeah, it'd basically be most useful on a vehicle with a long reload, whether it's the JPE100, one of the 183s, or even arty. Mesadoram posted:Drinking and all chat makes this game so much better than it was. Yeah, allchat is bringing back a lot of memories. There's definitely the potential for toxicity, but it also brings with it lighthearted banter between teams, which is especially nice for the tankers waiting for the battle to end. Also, it's pretty easy to tell in battles who's been playing long enough to have been around back when allchat used to be standard. I went back to my copy/paste text file with all my one-liners, and I realized I need to update them; they're generally dated to around 2016, and like half of them are about American Sniper.  Target Practice posted:Is the 1 gold = 35 free experience a decent deal this weekend? Yeah, that's the typical "sale" price. I think it's been as high as 40 xp/gold once or twice, but generally 35 is what you see.

Regarding nicknames for tanks: I get things like "Caravan" for the Caern, or gibberish-names for complicated tanks like the LeFH, or Roomba for the Borsig, but "Double Nazi" seems dumb as hell to me, same goes for instances where YouTubers have gone "This thing is now called the Jägeroo, the word is a thing now, call it thusly".

So the Anniversary Coins are NOT needed to get the key right? You just waste them on cosmetic stuff and/or boosts? Is there any reason to hoard them?

Mesadoram posted:I think I remember someone saying it is not permanent? Oh it's not, but even if I try to troll pubbies now, old American Sniper, Michael Moore, and Mitt Romney references aren't landing.

The "double Nazi" nickname is for: a Nazi tank, that also has the Nazi call numbers ("88") hence the phrase "double Nazi." I mean, maybe you're not familiar with the "eighth letter" thing, but here in America all the neo-Nazi shitheads, MAGA chuds, Republicans, etc., love that poo poo.

Didn't mean to say I don't understand why that name came to be, it's just that I think it's dumb as hell. Come to think of it, there's another nickname that either Jingles or Kellerman tried to make happen, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Another nickname for tanks I haven't seen mention is the 75mm peashooter t7 panther. Also known as the warcrimes panther. It got that name for fairly obvious reasons.

Kinda hilarious when a E 100 tries to ram you in a Type 4, just to realize not only was he lighter, he also lack the motor power to push back.

Cannon_Fodder posted:1-10 so far today I sank my stats today trying to do a daily in the IS-3-2. Teams were melting. But then I did 5k damage in the T54E1. I went from the optics to the GLD and it made a HUGE difference in aiming time. I miss the view range, but hitting poo poo was always the most important thing for me.

i think i bounced HE on the 10mm armor upper hull of the borrasq and flew went straight into the mantlet which counts as spaced armor so it just exploded and did 143 damage.

Here's a decent battle in a mediocre tank, the WZ-120. It basically trades gun handling and especially depression for above-average alpha, and armor for mobility. It's incredibly difficult to play with due to only 3 degrees of gun depression, however this was one of those battles where I made it work and it was immensely satisfying.

Today I won 11 out of 30 matches. As a result, I got my first ever email warning from wargaming for typing insults into in-game chat. Apparently dumbass and stupid mother loving dumbass and " all of you have literal poo poo for brains" are apparently insults now. Who knew?!

Had a better session than that yesterday and especially today, but in short order I've remembered why they removed allchat: it's me, I'm the toxic shithead. We're already poo poo-talking each other in battle, and I'm no longer going to shed a tear when they remove allchat after this. Also, I've been saying far, far worse poo poo than the stuff you mentioned, to my shitter teammates, at that, and not gotten a warning (or at least not in so long I can't remember.) I mean, I'm no Shanky, but I'm definitely one of the major reasons allchat was removed in the first place!
