It feels like the WG map design philosophy isn't "let's try to make maps where all classes can do useful things" but more like "every map is a loving disaster for everyone except one or two tank types, and the type just changes from map to map".

WEIRD The comedy is the story of providence. That map also had full tier at its release. But that same vision ended up within a month getting it kneecapped to tier4 max. Meanwhile, ensk is one of the og maps. It has been in the game since I started playing in closed beta. But is still full range. Vision is even worse now with the ebrs too.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody with two loving braincells to rub together, the teams tonight on EU can best be described as oxygen thieves. The matchmaking is also complete and utter dogshit, with 5-6 TDs per team all the way.JuffoWup posted:Ensk

Fjords is big bag of loving poo poo that shouldn't be seen by anything above Tier VI, and even then I think I am being generous. Widepark is another one that sticks around for too long, it's the size of a Tier IV map yet my T-150 sees it without fail every loving time. Why in Christ's name are so many dogshit-tiny maps in rotation at anything above Tier V anyway? Mines is a map for newbies, not loving 183s and E-100s.

I was running through the newbie missions on an old NA account I dug out yesterday off hours and holy poo poo it's so much more fun playing T5 games with 3-5 humans on each side and a bunch of bots. I'm guessing there's a trick to forcing yourself in newbie MM as well as everyone seemed to know what they were doing, games were regularly running up to the time limit and ending in nail-biting 1v1s.

The 121b is a joy to play. The 5 degrees of gun depression is a bummer, but otherwise it owns. Fast, the gun is accurate as hell and has a great shot selection.  A++ would recommend. E: although I did notice my Chinese medium loader doesn't have Intuition and that's BAD on a tank that has excellent HE, and two other excellent shells that give it a ton of flexibility.

Now that I have both of their commanders, I have to say QB's commander is miles better than Skill's. Skill himself openly admits his was recorded years ago and is way too business-like and impersonal, whereas QB's has a lot of personality and style, it uses his catchphrases and regular terms. It's a lot better. Also for the love of christ do not try to level any tanks right now. Grinding credits is fine because you get the same amount win or lose, but loving hell trying to grind the T7 Italian TD is making me want to punch my monitor through the wall. Nothing but -2 matchmaking and good loving like trying to carry these teams to anything as a -2. Love having a 6800 WTR and a 23% WR for the night. E: also the EU servers are a loving far right ethno-nationalist sewer shithole right now with all the cool people coming on to drop exciting slurs on us.

The Iron Arnie is a solid hull down T8 medium, and the Char Mle. 75 is a very difficult to play but also really powerful T9 light. The holiday event itself was a lot more user-friendly than last year. You could get the maximum holiday bonuses quickly without spending a dime, and also there's a cat.

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:...a british TIER 4 light with 120mm pen standard rounds I can't help but think this was introduced to poo poo on triple PzB2 platoons. Also, since I've no intention to even start trying to do the Holiday Ops missions until others have completed most of them, I finally went through my list. I plan on re-rolling every single one that mentions "victorious battle" other than the "win six times" one, even if that might take a loving WEEK, but I have to love the one that requires me to earn at least 808 base xp in one battle, that figure no doubt decided by the fact that my average earned is 816xp per battle, and that's down from where it used to be, which was closer to 900 back when I was 1) good, and 2) played semi-routinely.

Add daily missions to the list of poo poo that's mysteriously broken. I had a daily to block 3000 damage in winning battles, and that's a double NOPE so I rerolled it. Penetrate enemy medium tanks 10 times? Perfect. I did it, was a bit puzzled when I didn't get the Milla animation and went back to check on the daily, and it was now "spot 2000 points of damage". And of course then I got an hour's string of lovely city maps which meant something that should take one game to do instead took seven. Jesus christ this is awful. But I did get the 28th mission done, and used my 20% discount to buy the AMX M4 54. Now I just need to decide if I want to keep my better French heavy crew on the M4 51 or move it to the 54 and start training a new crew on the 51, or vice versa.

"Well let's queue up for my first AMX M4 54 match here, oh what's this, the enemy have a three man platoon of Object 279(e)s and we have me and two Type 5 Heavies" on Malinovka. That was a quick loving game. Also really love that they specifically said these broken-rear end pieces of poo poo wouldn't get matched up against non-broken tanks and yet here we are. Once again.

Mesadoram posted:A 279 platoon should always be matched against the max number of arty a team can have. Each 279(e) and T95/FV4201 Chieftain need to have their battle tier raised to 13 and count as 1.5 tanks. A platoon of three of them together should result in a 15v11 matchup. It's not like it'd even be unfair since ~5 players of any team spontaneously combust inside the first 2-3 minutes anyway. But it's clear that their long-term "solution" to this bullshit is just to release the overpowered CW tanks as probably very slightly nerfed tech tree variants as the Obj. 279 is already in the files. They're clearly not going to (at least, not *yet*) add Tier 11+.

For those who don't have it already, the new "spend your gold in the store" special is the SU-130PM. 18635g for the tank, 3D style, "two-skill" crew (no zero skills except Sixth Sense on the commander), and 25x missions. 10100g for the tank, garage slot, and 100% crew 3500g for the 3D Style alone Just a reminder that when they do that "waste your gold on poo poo" auction crap in 2-3 months' time, 3D styles usually go for peanuts.

Got the holiday missions done, locked in discounts on the spaghetti TD line. Glad to see it's not TOTT for Jan at least. Sitting at like 60 rentals of the new russian medium, what a lame gambling system the token thing is. 121b is indeed quite fun. However, you still need to grind out a solid techtree T10 medium for certain events which disallow reward/bond tanks. IIRC the recent "not ranked but it's ranked" event prevented me from using the 121b. Speaking of, I would be fine locking T10 reward/bond tanks at same-tier-MM only. No bullshit triple-279e-platoon-facing-tier-8 scenarios allowed. MM in general still needs changed to +1-1 though.
