Got another one. I was top player on the team. He was butt hurt I told him to shut up while I was carrying this round. The round in question: Edit: I also caught fire and almost died in order to type shut up at him. God it was worth it.

serious gaylord posted:I havent played this game in like a year but I heard arty is pointless now?? Kinda. They basically reworked arty and the big thing was giving them three types of shells. One is AP, which is 100% useless because why the gently caress would you fire an AP shell when you have a 35-45 second reload and your aiming circle is the size of four tanks? The second is is the old "does stuns and splashes" shell but they nerfed the damage. The third is a new "damage HE shell" which doesn't do that much more damage and literally has a T6 splash radius so you'll miss with it more often than not. The end result? Arty still fires stun shells 90% of the time but does less damage than before. Getting focused by multiple arty is still a complete loving nightmare, but playing arty is so irritating now that the numbers are dropping pretty fast. Despite them talking about reworks and more exciting gameplay it was a huge nerf across the board, and of course they didn't undo any of the earlier nerfs (like nuking arty's credit earning coefficients or XP gains) so now you'll lose money all the time and good luck trying to complete any missions.

Seconding this. Tier 6 games tend to still have arties (M44 supremacy still reigns there), but of the tier 8 games most are without arty whatsoever. I think only time I saw them yesterday was when I played one myself to get daily mission done.

Lmao at WG for suspending recon missions because some tier 8 premium tanks have pref matchmaking. So it's gone now.

Holy loving poo poo the 25TP is a piece of poo poo. The first gun genuinely surprised me because who the hell expects a two-shot autoloader, where each shot actually fires two shots with a fairly lengthy delay between the two shots? And with completely awful accuracy and literally sub-300m/s shell velocity? The top gun seems better, but the tank has zero armour so you'll get clowned on by everyone and everything.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Holy loving poo poo the 25TP is a piece of poo poo. I cunningly went through the ds pzinz first so I could unlock the top gun on a tank that starts with a non-poo poo gun - i just freexp'd the tracks and turret after that. After the 14tp i was terrified of what the stock grind in the 25tp would be and I was right. Everything clowns on you but at least the top gun lets you hurt things in return.

Maybe the marketing department and the design departments at WG should talk occasionally? WG sellin' the KV-2(R) for T8 prices and advertising the fun of the 152mm HE slinger gun. Which honestly feels like borderline false advertising considering the state of the tank.

Vando posted:Even the absolute dogshit premiums get 'use <useless peashooter gun> to wreck poo poo with impunity' type pitches so this is just standard marketing bs really Sure, but this time it's particularly egregious because the KV-2 was just nerfed into the ground by the HE nerf a few weeks ago. And here they are, talking up the HE which isn't ... well, 100% useless, but like 80% useless. My serious explanation is that this boiler plate was written months ago and nobody just told the marketing department that the KV-2 was just nerfed and its HE sucks rear end these days, but jesus christ WG.

I've been testing Improved hardening/Protection tech/turbo + speed governor/food/first aid kit on the KV-122 and 112 this week and the results are pretty good? It's 100% necessary to have a great crew with at minimum, full repair, recon, situational awareness and armorer but it can definitely work. This set-up turns the KV-122 into a bully heavy that can chase down most mediums and flank heavies/TDs. The 122 play style isn't too different but trades some speed for a lot more armor. I think this set-up forces me to play more aggressive and allows me to set the match pace when top or -1 tier. Results below: KV-122: 31 battles, 81% WR, 1841 DPG, 1.82 KDR 112: 7 battles, 86%, 2795 DPG, 9 KDR Over 38 games I think I lost an internal module (not including radio lol) once.

Just saw 50m away a T-34-85M and he just facehugged 750 damage. So yeah. Ill eat my words now. Cannon_Fodder posted:I'm sorry, what the gently caress? Yeah I have been noticing something funky going on with spotting. Yesterday my usual positions where I could spot something fresh on the field has been failing me lately so I switched to brawler tanks to fight for the time being. Ironically enough WG just released a video talking about spotting mechanics recently. Its a little broken I guess.

Yesterday my usual positions where I could spot something fresh on the field has been failing me lately so I switched to brawler tanks to fight for the time being. Same, but I just thought it was me not understanding spotting mechanics. I THOUGHT I was firing through that bush from far back enough not to get spotted but I did, oh well, guess I'm an idiot! I THOUGHT I could spot that guy through the bush, but oh well, I guess I'm an idiot. I might still be an idiot, mind you, but it seems the game is actually broken. BIG HEADLINE posted:I'm really glad that I never grinded any T10 SPGs other than the 261. Yeah, the SPG nerfs were a huge boost to the Object 261 because the high alpha slow fire rate SPGs got their damage nerfed proportionally a lot more than the Object 261, so now it fires a lot quicker than any other SPG, doesn't do THAT much less damage, and everyone's firing arcs are kind of poo poo like the Object 261's. I don't think it was intentional and rather just WG not considering the implications of their sweeping changes*, but it's kinda funny that once again the Soviet vehicle mysteriously benefits the most. * see also: SPG missions being even more impossible now, missions which require OTHER tanks to damage SPGs being a lot harder because suddenly you don't have 3 SPGs in every game anymore, so good luck damaging 3 SPGs in a game and destroying one of them, SPGs having their entire economy (poorly) balanced around doing much more damage and stunning than they're capable now etc

They're doing that "one tank on special a day" thing again. Today's is the Lorraine 40t for 9900g or however much in cash. So if you've wanted to pick that up but don't want to give them any more , go get it. Supposedly even people who have the tank in their garage can buy it again to get the missions, but those are 300g, or so it seemed when the client said if I bought the tank I'd immediately get 9600g back out of the 9900g purchase price.
