He sorta trapped me behind a rock after I took some pot shots at him. Have some HE rounds now so I'll just blow his tracks next time.

Please just take all your HE off your tanks. Any possible utility that HE provides you is more than counteracted by the times where High Explosive ammo completely fucks you over. If you're new, you simply cannot know when it's wise to use HE, so you're far better off never using it. AP damages tracks just as well as HE does.

I asked him what he thought of it and he told me how every match he drives straight into the middle in french heavy tanks and suicide scouts. This is the only way he knows how to play the game, and he quite enjoys doing it. Kill your friend IRL please, k thx. The dude's got a predictably low WN8 from suiscouting in HTs, but his WR is surprisingly average.  Also, I never knew tanks.gg had a user profile thing; I actually like that one better than the others on vbaddict, wotlabs, etc.

Because grand battles don't count for any of your stats on tanks I have an 8% win rate on my gwe100 despite 3 gores medals and an average damage of 3000 in said grand battles. Lol.

Well glad to see my winrate is lower than a guy just suiscouting  I ground like crazy while I had the chance and got up to the T-34. And hooboy people were not kidding when they said the stock version is real bad. I can't really hurt anyone with the starting gun except *maybe* light tanks. Like the T-80 does more damage. What sort of crew "perks" or whatever should I do anyway? I've almost got 100% on the T-80 crew, which I'm going to hold on to for now since i like it. I put the "YOU'RE SPOTTED" one on the commander.

appropriatemetaphor posted:Well glad to see my winrate is lower than a guy just suiscouting To start on the T-34, go camo or repairs. Both are highly useful. Later you can do the whole reskill thing. The best ones outside of those are snap shot, off road driving, clutch breaking, safe stowage, whatever the radio one that increases spotting range, ramming, and BIA. Those aren't in order. Yes, most of the best skills are on the driver. The T-34 really shines with the 57. All other guns are inferior. ROFLburger posted:oh hell yeah Yeah it will be quite good. The T-44-100 will be even more nuts. HFX fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Feb 6, 2018 |

Duzzy Funlop posted:Swedish line's been treating me well. The Swedish line taught me to be good at the game. Its probably the best line to go up if you want to be forced to learn how to work ridge lines, spotting and knowing when to push. Otherwise your games last about 3 minutes and you do no damage. Also the Emil 2 is my fav tank in the game for how pure troll it can be when top tier so thats probably clouding my opinion a bit. Also the T-44-100 is legit going to be OP as gently caress with those new soft stats. I think Circon said it was going to have the best accuracy of any medium in the game and be even more mobile with the engine upgrade.

I love pulling the RNG lever on the HEP rounds in the Blackdog. Blasting E-25's for 320 is the best thing. Also reiterating the 57mm love for the T-34. When it's fully upgraded with at least a 100% crew it is an absolute beast and one of my favorites.

Poil posted:You should be doing that regardless of whether or not you are carrying any HE shells at all. I jokingly said that I was only carrying HE in my E-100 a long time ago and initially panicked some of my team. Then I started landing big hits on things and doing really crazy damage. I did use a single HEAT round at another heavy, but otherwise it was all HE. I adjust I was lucky that most of the enemy team was in lower armor tanks though. There was WTE-100 that I nailed for 900 damage, broke the gun and killed the gunner and commander. Really should go back in and try that again.

Secret Confessions of a Stat Badder - This is harder than it looks I could not buy a loss in my Stug G. The fucker has a nearly 50% Win Rate. Worse, I was coming towards the bottom of the team list. Fortunately the player base did not let me down.  Playing on Murovanka. I had been covering the magic forest but the boobs over that side rushed over the ridge line and got slaughtered. This included our brave scmuck LaserDaveWoT. I took to the red lines and headed for the enemy cap via the West where our team was doing marginally better. That's when Laser Dave started mouthing off about how I was a bot, a lovely player and "BASE D!" while pinging the map like Neil Diamond, yeah. I took no loving notice of him what-so-ever and in the final wash up came second on exp and damage done, well ahead of Laser Dave who had a whole one(1), count them, damaging shot to his name and died in the first minute. The player base in WoT is very, very, very special (and precious).

It's just if you have it enabled, have just been in an assault, it'll try to put you in an other mode. This should not affect anyone who has it disabled unless :wargaming:

Go for the 705 because the rear-turreted line is at least different enough to be interesting. Also the 430 II will lead to the 430 III, duh. appropriatemetaphor posted:What does: "Get behind the cap ***" mean? I was capping an enemy base at the time. I'm just going to guess that you were being told to move behind a nearby obstacle (rock, dead tank, etc.) while capping to make it more difficult for the enemy team to hit & reset you.

Makes me sad I didn't pick it up in the original marathon, but back then it was fairly mediocre. How was I to know they would one day buff it to the moon?  And before anyone says 'ofc, it's russian', just look at the 2nd TD line or the IS-4. I can't believe they are nerfing those TDs. Jesus.

Oh boy, with this ill-planned & not-really-finished update I get to clown around and laugh in the IS again to unlock the IS-M. Sadly however I also have to tolerate the unbelievably dogshit teams that the MM gives me whenever I take the IS-3 out for a ride, now for a further 140,000 exp. on top of the remaining 40,000 required for the T-10; 42%WR so far, woo  appropriatemetaphor posted:What does: "Get behind the cap ***" mean?

He meant to say "flag" (so you'd put a bit more distance between yourself and approaching enemies, possibly into a terrain dip or something) but amidst all the spergy excitement of being a dead spectator he managed to mong it up and call you a fag instead. Yeah, I'm being extremely charitable by assuming he wasn't just berating you for not being dead and not playing exactly as he would have done in that situation. He was probably doing just that, because pubbies.
