Oh well, I guess it's going to be worth it because at least the SMV CC-67 became INCREDIBLE once you got the 120mm gun on it.

I still have this game installed and I haven't played more than five battles since two Christmases ago. I still have Warships installed and I haven't played that in even longer. Wargaming has perfected the game version of Battered Spouse Syndrome.

My first game of the day was just as good. In my SU-85i which I'm super close to getting my first MOE on, a Thunderbolt runs into me right as I'm about to shoot. I tell him to watch where he's driving so he keeps ramming me, shooting HE at me, and causes me to get spotted. Not that it will do anything but I reported him and uploaded the replay.

Italy you can't just keep making the P26/40 wider and flatter and call it a medium tank tree. E: The Type 59 has pen problems these days but it's just so comfortable to play. Handles so smoothly, great gun handling, just nice. Orv fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Oct 14, 2023 |

People move on to other games and I find it to be a healthy thing for people. My main gripe is my friends do not play it anymore and it got pathetic on the amount of money I spent on this game. It never really satisfied me enough to warrent my investment. Maybe in the future when my friends get the itch to play again I will definately reinstall and give it a go. But playing solo to me is just a pain in the neck. Hope everyone is doing okay though! Edit- Also I am no longer the only goon on SA with the tank Icon from what I understand. It was fun while it lasted.

When I get frustrated in this game, which is often because I'm bad at it, I go into kamikaze mode kind of. It's not that I want to die, but I just really, really want to loving shoot a tank so i start driving forward like Ivan Drago, hand cocked back ready to punch, but oblivous to what I am walking through to land it. I"m in that mode this morning. 4 wins, 0 losses, but I've not landed more than 1 shot in any of the games and my WN8 for the session is 261.

Three games in my Strv m42/57. -2 every time. Third game, platoon of three BZ-176s on the enemy team. Hit ALT-F4 there and then, for the first time ever in this poo poo game. Why the gently caress even bother?

sometimes i watch dakillzor.. well i do kinda often yet don't play for months.. now there is currently a "mystery twitch prime drop" and its icon is golden dice.. so you know i have to install the game to see what i get. L fall- winter best time to hide out in a tank http://wotreplays.eu/site/6647643#ensk-turmoilx-is-7 having a lil fun i missed out on the twitch drop too guess it ended during my time playing/waiting for it time for another break. had decent entertainment for those 12 battles i played in onslaught today managed around 3.7k dpg but called it quits because it started to make my blood pressure rise i feel like that's unhealthy i don't want to get a heart attack from world of tanks win/loss anxiety lol kinda sad how a lot people had 1k+ battles in that game mode too .. that just sounds super stressful Turmoilx fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Oct 16, 2023 |

If WG wanted more people to pay for their Double Premium bullshit, one perk that might make it worthwhile is the first fifty games in a newly unlocked tank are in its elite configuration to make it easier to earn the xp towards the next unlock. But hey, that'd *make sense* so  . I'm also guessing that the bulk of their profile after premium tanks comes from skipping tanks.

I don't think even that would be a compelling reason to pay for their absolutely insane double premium scheme. That said, guns clearly intended to be free xp'd past because they're basically unusable against even same-tier heavies is extremely tiresome. E: Also having three trees branch off the Type 58 is probably going to drive me mad. Orv fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Oct 17, 2023 |

They are selling a special version of the 50tp Prototype called 50tp Resilient, and 100% of every purchase goes to support Ukraine, and the purchase price is far lower than a normal T8 heavy.  https://eu.wargaming.net/shop/wot/unite_to_support/charity_1/ They're also selling camo and decal packs.

If anyone has been waiting for the Japanese T8 premium TD, the Type 4 Ka-Ri to go on sale after being in lootboxes around St. Patrick's day... it's on sale now. Since I'm a consumer whore I bought it. Accurate gun with 500+ alpha and a good DPM, yes please. It's a casemate TD yes, but the armour is decent. Honestly just underlines how outdated the Jagdtiger is.

Great loving day for a win 3 daily. E: 16 games, 3 wins. It's just this kind of poo poo over and over and over again. I'm either top damage or second, half the team does 0 damage or hits one shot and then dies.  I had maybe three enjoyable games in this whole run. We lost one of them, but it was a proper game and close, and a lot of fun. But it's not a lot of fun to have half of one team be dead one minute in.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I still have this game installed and I haven't played more than five battles since two Christmases ago. I've personally barely played tanks over the past 2-4 years (I'm not even sure anymore when I last regularly played it) but I got in about 10 battles tonight. The first 7 were "welcome back" "warm up" full bot matches at any tier with full XP. The bots were indistinguishable from pubbies, so it was surprisingly realistic. If you get destroyed in and then exit the warmup matches it auto-calculates the conclusion based on the battle progress thus far, which was a pleasant surprise (they were all wins, as we were ahead when I exited.) I have 5 incomplete lines to potentially work on (Yoh, IT TD, JP TD, UK cars, CN HT) now; I only had the Yoh line left (at tier 9) when I last actively played, so whenever that came out is about when I scaled back tanks. I don't actually dislike the game or anything, but I was reminded of one thing that they still haven't fixed after all these: the lovely, Flash-based interface and the abysmal server querying. I had forgotten how clicking literally anything in the garage (or exiting a battle, or receiving results from a completed battle) freezes the client for 5 seconds while it confirms the change (e.g. ammo loadout) with the server.  Also, I was never into botes, but I've played it off and on and I got in about a dozen battles. It's still interesting for what it is, but I could never spend a significant amount of time playing that game. Similarly, warplanes was fine the last time I tried it; I just don't have a ton of time to devote to more than one or two games anymore.

The remaining battle pass tanks I don't have are... - Kunze Panzer - KPz 3 Projekt 07 - Lorraine 50t - BZ-58-2 - Object 777vII Out of those the 777 is right out. The Lorraine is also apparently poop from a butt, and I haven't heard too much good about the BZ-58-2 either. But what about the Kunze and the KPz? Anyone have any experience with either of them?

Both of them have the same stupid siege mode mechanic where you trade DPM for accuracy, which results in you going in and out of siege mode every time you shoot. They're really dumb because of the extra effort required.

McGavin posted:There's a bunch of bounty equipment you can pick up. Yeah but isn't it limited to one item per battle pass season or something? E: lol looking at the stats of the prospective tanks, the Kpz 3 Projekt 07 has a WR difference of roughly -4%, meaning players of all WN ratings are winning 4% less with it than their general WR. It's remarkably consistent, too! You'd expect something like the delta decreasing as players' WN ratings increased because better players should be able to perform better with it, but nope. Just a straight -4%. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Oct 23, 2023 |

Yesterday I was playing my Ka-Ri on Fisherman's Bay, and I was hanging around the buildings in the middle. Our T-49 was AFK for a couple of minutes and then camped in base for several more, while the enemy LT kept spotting half the team. I tried to ask him to please spot, no reaction. Pinged his location a couple of times and sent "help" messages. That got him moving, but not to spot. Oh no, instead he tried to push me out of cover but of course pitifully failed because T-49 vs Ka-Ri. He then tried to get me shot by doing the old "I'll shoot and then hide behind you so people who shoot at me hit you instead" trick but that failed because he got insta gibbed by a Jagdpanzer E100. After the game I sent him a message saying, and I quote: "I've never said this to anyone before, but for the love of god start botting. You're so awful even the cheapest bot would be an improvement." And now I'm chat banned for 5 days.
