Ok, low tier bot battles can be hilarious: Do you have any idea how many times you need to shoot a 30 damage gun to do 1920 damage? It's a LOT.

sauer kraut posted:I guess WG are sensing a lack of high tier hp donors and baddies getting anxious. You can't talk poo poo about this tank, it's a free gift! What do you expect, it's a free gift! You don't want more OP tanks in the game and now you cry when we get a balanced premium! How spoiled are you to complain about something free? That was a 100% Reddit speedrun. The amount of people defending this thing there is baffling. If you have ANY T9 tanks in the game, you're not going to want to play this, because this thing is objectively worse than an already kinda meh T9 tech tree tank, and it's not premium so it won't earn more credits, and it doesn't even earn bonds. And if you don't have any T9s, you're going to be free lunch to anyone who does. It's dog poo poo, and the biggest slap in the face is that if you sell it you only get 20 000 credits for it. Johnny Five-Jaces posted:yeah but i need the turbo to even have a hope of relocating when needed without getting spotted Yeah it's an insane piece of poo poo. When I grinded the Grille line, I gave up on the thing after 15 or so games, and I imagine it's even worse now that all the games are two minute 15-1s (instead of just 70% of games, like it was back then). Try to stick with it, the T8 is really good, and the T9 is tier for tier one of the best TDs in the game. Even the Grille is fun, even though it isn't terribly competitive.

I had some perverse fun times with the Sturer Emil, creeping up behind a hill and shrecking enemies with the big gun. But that was a time before the super lootbox heavies (and mediums like the Iron Arnie) required 300 pen to even sit at the table.

Obj 752 is a Good Tank - in spite of it's gun and dpm and you're going to run out of ammo. 30 golden shells because lol silver pen isn't going to work brawling other heavies. You just have to raise the gun between shots and they can't hit your cupola manlet things and you bounce so many shots. That free gift tank should have been a reskinned M46, Jesus Christ who would play it? Also I played the Emil and dire as it is it had a great gun / depression. Gets spotted like it's a type 5 ht, they coded it wrong or some poo poo. land 3 shots for a great game.

The only time to ever play that Patton thing will be when everyone else is. It won't make it any better but the mass of pubbies playing Babby's First Tier IX will allow you to have a modicum of fun with it. Then you just pick a good Tier IX and slap the loving poo poo out of them. Uhhh maybe just skip to the second bit, actually.

MM is so confused with the sudden influx of tier 9 mediums. Took me over a minute to get a match with the Skoda T50, 40k people just on EU1 in the morning. In other news the Cent AX is a beast. Everything about it just fits like an old glove  Highly recommended for 52% normies so is the Skoda Many good games.

Oh the Shitpack is on ingame gold sale this week. I despise it. Hate it. Unchecked the priority tank label  The gun is a low pressure potato launcher and its claims to accuracy are a big, fat lie. No camo, no gun depression, no fun allowed whatsoever. Picture a KPZ 07 RH medium, but poo poo. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Dec 22, 2023 |

For some reason I've jumped back into this after a few years (lol, Vinnie fuckin Jones). I was middling before but am bad now - even so https://imgur.com/a/QcD6IfO And I've got tanks in my garage that aren't on the tech trees any more, like when did the T-62 disappear?

It's a collectors vehicle now, which are expertly hidden behind a little button on the tech tree page. In a world where a (buffed) Obj 140 exists, there's no point to poor T-62 at all

Man, even though most games these days are 2 minute 15-1s, I've also had a couple of VERY fun games these past few days. - First game, we fought back from 10-6 down to win on Ruinberg largely thanks to our 63% WR UDES who had 8 kills, but it was generally a lot of fun because I had to use my Ho-Ri 1 to spot, to snipe, to brawl and the game went down to the war. - The aforementioned Type 63 game. It also went down to the wire, and I was able to hold one flank largely by myself while the rest of my team recovered from an initial loss on the other flank and pushed around. - A Ka-Ri game we eventually lost, but still went almost to the time limit and came down to the final few guys. It's always so nice when games last longer and actually let me play the game.

That paint job fits perfectly. I have not used that tank yet, but I was looking at it in the garage and noticed it's basically just a Renegade at t9 with worse armor and similar mobility. At least it was free I guess.

So when does the Christmas event end, again? I could care less about getting Vinnie Jones as a special commander, and I didn't bother last year for Milla, but I could at least net a few more gift machine tokens. Are T1 experimental equipment and components the only rare drops from that thing?

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Man, even though most games these days are 2 minute 15-1s, I've also had a couple of VERY fun games these past few days.  Last night really was something; for once battles actually lasted more than the time it takes to boil a kettle and the matchmaking wasn't complete and utter endless +2 dogshit. As an aside, the Caliban (currently on offer!) is comedy gold if there are two or more of you taking turns lobbing shots down a corridor and terrifying some poor fucker into going nowhere. Also got a Shitpack/Shrek because gently caress it, having 50k gold just sitting around isn't going to do much for me. That thing is hilarious when you catch some shlub out in the open and turn him into a giant cheese grater with 270(!) AP pen. Anyway, I spent 90% of a battle on the phone, with my Chi-To SP sitting on the North-West TD hill of Pilsen because -- like an idiot -- I had decided to start 'tooning with some buddies despite full well knowing that I was expecting a phonecall  Things are coming down to the wire as the call ends, so I'm at 100% HP, finally rolling into the party after 8 minutes, and by the time I arrive it's my Chi-To SP vs some dude with his battered-to-poo poo UDES 14, just as he kills off my only remaining ally and attempts to zoom away before I can one-shot slap him to win the game. Cue some 90 seconds of me chasing him around a loving building while he bounces shot after shot off my superstructure, with me slamming shells into the dirt because lmao casemate TD firing on the move. It was some real Laurel & Hardy poo poo, but with tanks. Eventually I caught up enough to just take my time and aim for a moment, finally putting him out of his misery. I don't think he was expecting an armoured casemate TD to be so nippy on turning corners. poo poo, I wasn't expecting it! Tonight though has been the exact opposite. Tonight has been The Shittening. And also The Shittening II: Pubbies.

What is wrong with the UDES 16? Why did I start this line  No one seems to have any trouble penning me at leisure, even as I scrape that ridge so finely that my lovely gun hits the ground in front of me half the time. What happened to the identical 105mm gun that was semi-decent on the U14. So many questions.

I finally elited the Tier VIII SpagheTD. What a load of absolute loving Mario poo poo it was. No sniping, no mag-dumping, every c--t just double-tapping 2 and making your armour about as effective as a loving panini if you even considered an assault role. Dogshit. Merda di cane. Complete loving garbage. Jesus I hated every god-damned loving moment which involved playing this worthless stupid POS. And gently caress the goddamned loving matchmaker for making me punch up for 90% of the loving grind. Edit: Shaman Tank Spec posted:Yeah, this is the typical Patton experience for me: Buddy, don't even go there. Somehow clawed a 60% WR over some 30+ battles (Christmas drinking lmao) but nearly each and every Patton Tank player was some windowlicking bleach drinker. Whichever team had the most almost invariably lost the loving battle. ZogrimAteMyHamster fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Dec 26, 2023 |
