I think everything. We had a funny discussion of me possibly missing one of the best tier V tanks in the loot boxes. But it was confirmed I got almost everything. May have missed a couple of 3D styles but overall I got every single new tank that I didn't own this year, a shitload of gold, and enough blueprints and credits to net me comfortable the tier X Yoh tank which was what I wanted earlier this year and I finally got it. The BZ-176 and the Char MLE. 75. Oh yeah!

Katamari Democracy posted:Now that I am done whaling. I am back to playing tanks. Oh yes you are. 130K gold is like 3 years of premium account and all the battle passes you'd want included, which adds another year or whatever. The boxes are such crazy value for high rollers, but only starting after the point when you got all premium tanks possible.

Quickybaby is holding his annual charity stream right now. He's raising money for Special Effect and Cancer Research UK. 5200 quid from a combined 20 000 pound goal raised in a little over an hour, so about 10 and a half hours to go at least still. https://www.twitch.tv/quickybaby

This loving game is unplayable on the EU servers right now. 11 games.  The amount of shitters who make bots look good is astonishing. Literally every loving game is 15-1 or 15-0 and the matchmaker keeps putting me in as bottom tier in -2 matches so good loving luck trying to compensate for the mutants I'm teamed up with. E: gently caress this I'm done. Not even worth blowing boosters on this poo poo. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Dec 16, 2022 |

I've had an absolutely horrendous week with this piece of poo poo game, seeing something like 12 wins from 60-70 battles. Weekends are always bad with teams, and in addition it's always bad over the Christmas season, but weekends during Christmas season are mind-shatteringly demoralising events and it all only gets worse in the run-up to Christmas/New Year itself as more and more of the playerbase finds itself with time off from work/school/sitting outside with the other vegetables. I'm not touching this loving game until Monday at least.

While it feels good being financially set in tanks unless I blow it all on research; this might not keep my attention long unless I have people to play with. Ill stick around but if anyone sees me on feel free to jump on voice and play tanks with me. Beats me dancing on the internet as I really do need a break from that game.

Welp, test server is live with the new rocket tank line. Of note in the article, they mention a choice of an 85 or 100mm gun for the tier 7 and then forget to mention the gun for all the following tiers. Tanks.gg has the answer to why. The stock is also the top gun. There is no gun option available from t8 to t10. At t8, you'll be fielding a 122mm gun. At t9, it'll be a 130mm gun. Meanwhile at t10, it'll be a 152mm gun. This is sounding like a very new player friendly tank line since for the first time in tanks history, you don't have to swim in the dumpster of stock and intermediary guns to get the functional top gun. Tanks.gg links of new tanks from test server: BZ-58 (t7): https://tanks.gg/v11910ct/tank/bz-58 BZ-166 (t8): https://tanks.gg/v11910ct/tank/bz-166 BZ-68 (t9): https://tanks.gg/v11910ct/tank/bz-68 BZ-75 (t10): https://tanks.gg/v11910ct/tank/bz-75

They also don't have the this-is-actually-dumb gold shell that the 176 does. Why exactly was a gold shell in a premium vehicle allowed to both have more pen AND deal substantially more damage? I'd have expected far more of a shitstorm from the community than I'm seeing over that.

sushibandit posted:Slow inaccurate BIGNUMBER gun, dumb strong hulldown armor on relatively low profile vehicles, movespeed gimmick, low research reqs. Yeah, it's a great line to cement new players into the cancerous hulldown meta. Thanks WG. Looks like the techtree vehicles at least have reasonably accessible cupolas to shoot at. Because the gold shell is a partial trick. The ap shell actually has slightly more pen. And by slightly, I mean a couple numbers difference making them effectively the same. What you lose on gold is that it is he. Which means no overmatch. So you need to keep ap around as well for overmatch moments. Such as the low brow roof the vipera has. In a way, it is an experience of the special round changes proposed long ago. Except the shell costs are reversed. The cheap ap "high" pen low alpha shell or the expensive "lower" pen high alpha shell. I know skill has complained a little about the bz176 and the minotauro. But, he has recently been complaining about the lopsided fast games of late as well.

Yeah, if you're facing another BZ-176, don't fire HE unless you can hit them in the side or the engine deck or something. The AP shells overmatch ALL of the roof, and it catches people out. Also christ some of the people who play this game are toxic shitheads. WG are currently running a 36 hour charity marathon, and TragicLoss is playing. She started the stream by saying she's an average player, and it's clearly just to have fun. Still there's been a rotating door of toxic assholes coming in to abuse her and complain about her not being good enough at the game. During a charity stream. Then again according to Skill the official WG CC Discord was making fun of QB for his charity stream yesterday, including the parts where he tearfully talked about almost losing his dad to cancer. Some hilarious memes were shared lemme tell you what! So like ... if these are the CCs, who are supposed to be good examples, what should we expect?

To do well in the ShitPack, you need a disproportionally large collection of map positions (and all their lines of fire) memorized, and relocate between them rapidly without having to think too hard. Or you do what I do in the Bourrasque, smoke a cigarette until at least half of either team is dead, then soak up easy damage.

BIG HEADLINE posted:Skill calls it an extremely hard tank to play well in: Edit It's only 20k more, total, if you end up using both in a match, assuming you buy them on sale, which is the only time you should buy them. If you're already investing upgraded bounty equipment and food and directives in a premium tank, it makes zero sense to run small consumables. I'd think the decreased chance of crew knockout and decreased repair time from the large versions would be worth it if nothing else. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Dec 18, 2022 |

I hate DPM tanks but I usually enjoy the shptk. It's big as a house and has no camo, but the high explosive round is REALLY nice against borats, lightly armored tds, and light tanks. On the other side of the coin, I usually like high alpha accurate tanks but I dislike the 122-TM. So sometimes there's just something about a tank that works depending on the person I guess. sushibandit posted:Why on earth would anyone use small repair/firstaid kits when they are already burning food and a directive and using upgraded bounty equipment? I use small repair and first aid kits, but I'm usually not running food or any of the extra stuff. When I do switch to my premium loadout I usually drop the fire extinguisher for food, but I still run small repair and first aid because usually it's just the tracks/ammo rack and commander/loader I need fixed. If I have multiple of those dead in the 90 seconds or whatever it takes to recharge I'm probably in a really bad situation anyways and the chances that repairing would help are low. The only exception to that is that I will put large repair kits on my premium loadout for heavy tanks to help with repair times. Edit: Oh, and I don't feel like burning 20k to fix arty stun. The only one that wins in that situation is wargaming. TracerM17 fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Dec 18, 2022 |

I've been going up the Soviet tank tree because turns out you need mid-high level arty of EVERY NATION for the right side of the campaign screen, and jesus loving christ the S-51 is so loving pointless it's crazy.

i played more of the school bus than the S-51 cause IIRC the S-51 doesn't hold a lot of ammo and that was always an issue when the game went the full time. so many times playing the russian arty line would it be like me and one light tank left vs a heavy with half health and I'm out of ammo

It was the gun traverse arcs. Both have garbage tier bloom when the hull ever twitched. But the school bus had a wider gun arc over the s51. Traded for speed, but worth it.
