If you have the time, you can take screenshots and file a support ticket and they'll eat a chatban. You can do this for anyone who swears at all and the chatban gets longer each time.

Start a game by saying "I'm gay" if you want to just eat a chat ban yourself.

i've been chat banned like 5 times now and i couldn't care any less every single time. if anything it makes my game more enjoyable because i don't feel the need to tell people they're dumb

I just watched the biggest moron throw a game, and of course he was on my team. We just completed a monumental comeback thanks to our artillery and TDs making some timely plays. While everybody was fighting it out a lone T-78 on our team was on the complete opposite end of the map found his way to the enemy cap. He was doing victory laps as the cap timer ticked down to 40 seconds. The only tank that makes it out of the fighting near our cap was an enemy KV-2 so it's now a 1v1 vs our T-78. The KV-2 was last seen near our base maybe 10 seconds ago and had no chance of getting back in time, but with 20 seconds left until victory our T-78 decides to get off cap and hide in a bush. So the KV-2 starts capping our base...

Our T-78 makes his way all the way back to our base and sees the KV-2 sitting in our cap. He has the jump on him, he has a mobility advantage, he could get in close and circle the KV-2 to death or he could snipe him from behind some bushes, but he doesn't do any of that. He stops out in the open as soon as his six sense goes off completely in view of the KV-2. What does our hero do? Does he shoot? No. Does he move? No, of course not. Instead he chooses to scream for help using the SOS command as the KV-2 slowly turns his gun, takes aim, and finally puts our poor T-78 out of his misery.

Out of all the vanilla 240 damage, single shot tier 8 tech tree meds the Indien was my least dreaded.
The weird V-shaped side armor makes it a superb sidescraper, as long as the enemy doesn't wise up and just aims for the turret.
The HEP ammo isn't too shabby either. At least it's got something

Does it gain significant speed when fully upgraded? Stock engine and tracks made me feel like I was a KV-1.

the pershing was great. the american medium line isn't my best line nor is it my favorite but they're all really loving solid at least up to the pershing. the e6 and t20 are two of my best played tanks.

i'm working on the t9 patton now and again, not my favorite but it's still a good tank

I never liked the indien, but that was before the leo line buff. The pta I played a little before and then a lot after. And oh man can you really clown people in that tank. More importantly, the clowning happens without you realizing it.

Game from 3 years ago. This was already after the leopard line buff. I legit didn't realize I hit right under 5k until the end. It just casually walks 3k damage. Also, You can see I forgot about the shell velocity as even a slight lead on the enemy leo1 made me miss.

Yeah but 9/10 that would just end with me getting blasted by the TVP 50/51, Cobra and Char Futur that were behind the corner and never spotted. Which is what happened when I tried to be aggressive in the next game :v:

I finally unlocked the Bat-Chat 25t. I honestly don't know if there's much point in buying it though. Is it much of an improvement over the T9 Bat-Chat? It's already kinda marginal what with so many better and faster autoloaders being in the game these days.

I do like playing the T9 BC 25t AP, but I'm also thinking that ... maybe I should just keep playing that? And hope that WG one day buff the line.

E: looking at MoE expectation values, the T10 does have 1200 more damage than the T9 (3500 vs 4700 for the 3rd MoE) so I guess that indicates something. Maybe?

I would think the ability to earn bonds and never have to deal with +1 MM would be enough reason to play the T10 even if it's only marginally better. At least that what my sub-10k-battles-never-have-enough-bonds self assumes.

i've had the bat-chat unlocked since the lorraine was before it and i've never bought it because i'm always broke. the only t10s i've bought have been the 261 and the is-4 and i ended up selling both after a few months because before bonds there was no real reason to play t10 random matches

How do you even lose 20k on average in a Leo PTA but make 30k in a Standard B?
Even in the Leo1 slinging gold only is wasteful, on tier 9 it's just sad. Is this data supposed to from one streamer idgi?

Even90, 432 and 122TM look about right though. Those are my 3 booster workhorses since I got neither a Progetto nor any premium TD but the T-103.
