Triple Hummel platoons were the biggest tear harvester going for counter battery shenanigans. I honestly think Az, Spud and myself were the cause of the counter battery nerf

When I was in otter there was an Arty player who I swear was not human. His ability to time and lead targets was a sight to behold. His map knowledge was incredible.

I remember how turning the arty without adjusting aim wouldn't bloom the reticle (holding rmb maybe?), so even high tier arty could rapidly turn and accurately fire somewhere at the other end of the map. Has that changed? I still haven't played since at least 4 years ago. Been thinking about getting back in but then I remember raging at pubbies and think staying away would be better for my health.

Glad im not the only one going on the on track to the 103-B I learned the on track is useless to me because of the Christmas Discount is the exact same as the on track. I thought you also get an XP discount as well. But nope.  I do still plan on getting it before the end of the month. Then after that it will be back to the credit grind again for another Tier X. Would really really love to get the Obj 268 4.

Yeah, new Top of the Tree loving blows. The only exception is if you buy the paid version of the battle pass, those 5x missions add up to extremely fast gains extremely quickly. I was able to routinely do 20k XP games in the Standard B with the paid TotT version.

Every week I have to be reminded the hard way how awful the EU servers are on the weekend. I swear someone opens some monkey cage in some zoo Friday afternoon and lets the inmates play WoT all weekend long. Actually I take that back, the monkeys would probably be better than this bunch.

I won't be able to get enough tokens to get the Kuntz so it comes down to the AE Phase 1or the Char Futur. My heart says the AE but the Char looks like it would suit me more as I have a 55% WR in the UDES 16. Oh well. Time to sit on the fence more.

The AE Phase 1 is a very solid T9 heavy. Really good hull down, pretty good in any drat way you please. Can't go wrong with it (unless you have a Conqueror in which case it's a bit redundant). The Char Futur is also good, and because of the long intra clip reload it doesn't just feel like a cut rate Batchat 25t AP and instead feels a bit more unique. I prefer my Standard B and Skoda T50 over it, but maybe I should just play the Char Futur more. But I mean... if you want an interesting and unique tank definitely get the Char. On that topic, is the Object 777 v2 any good? I got the AE Phase 1 with my first 9 tokens and now I'm debating saving the remaining 9 for the next battle pass in the faint hope that they'll introduce something new (lol), but I could also just get the Object since I'll b doing the next battle pass as well and 9 tokens alone won't be enough to get anything.

I finally figured out my crew situation on the Progetto 65 (turns out I didn't quite have enough unrecruited female crew members for an all-female crew and I didn't want to waste Santa, Cobra Commander or one of the Battle Pass crew members as a driver) so I could finally take it out for a spin. This thing owns! Extremely good handling, good gun dynamics, I still really like the Italian auto-reloader flexibility. It just feels like a better Standard B. But at the same time the Standard B is also very good and also very tier 9, so I'm definitely keeping that as well. A++, would thoroughly recommend the Italian mediums. The P43 Ter was the only turkey in the line. Think I'll go up the Japanese medium tree next since the STB-1 seems like a tank I would like.

After spending the past 3 days playing WoT all day for some hosed up reason, I guess because I hate myself, I finally broke out of the madness I was under and dismissed every single crew member I had on my tanks before uninstalling again. Would've sold them too, but there was some stupid 5 sold a day limit. Maybe this time, I won't feel a need to return to this stupid game. gently caress WoT.

BadLlama posted:you are stronger than most. Much like a heroin addict on methadone, I still keep WoT installed, patched, and periodically download updates to Aslain's mod pack. I haven't played in months. If they offer the T-44-100 again I'd probably buy it, too. I resisted the urge to get the Type 59 because, let's face it, if they finally put it up for sale they'll put it up for gold again, eventually.

Tonight's highlight: 6 v 1. Enemy team (defending) had just a 1400 WN8 ELC Even 90 alive at 4 minutes remaining. Our team refuses to cap, instead deciding to chase the ELC around. Several players are trying to ping the cap and telling our team to just cap. Nope, they are driving to where the ELC was last spotted, then driving around the edge of the map. Our team manages to spot the ELC at about 20 seconds remaining when he swings by the cap to kill the one shot T57 who finally decided to start capping at a minute left, but despite having a T-10, an IS-3-II and a Skoda T50 firing at the ELC, they can't hit him. The ELC wins.

Good news everyone. The Obj 274a is on sale in America! Not only that, but the 703 II is also on sale. Both are very rock solid tanks for what they can do. I have said since I have earned the 274a that its a hidden gem within the mountains of russian premium tanks. Is it better than the T-44-100? Its debatable. Both play very differently. And in my opinion I enjoy the 274a a lot better. If you have the cash I would recommend picking it up.

The 274a still hasn't been on sale in the EU. But don't worry, the Centurion Mk5 RAAC is (again, it was just on sale a few weeks ago) as well as the T25 Pilot, in case you want to just flush your cash down the crapper! (oh and the 703 II as well) E: I unlocked the E50, and it's loving hilarious that a T9 medium starts with a tier 6 75mm gun as its stock gun. Stock grinds are IMO one of the biggest problems in the game, because so many tanks are so god drat worthless and miserable for so long. At least on the Emil II I can just unlock the top gun immediately because it's 1100 kilos lighter than the stock gun (somehow), but on the E50 I have to jump through a billion hoops to make it even as good as the Panther II I just sold was.

 Why does the E50 need two 75mms? Two 88s? The "upgraded" 75 is just a noob trap.

The Anime 88 is a trap as well. The numbers look good but the alpha's poo poo and shell normalization really screws it over against heavy plate.
