No seriously I've been in a lot of clans and you always have those fucks who very clearly care too much about their stats and will ignore the callers in order to avoid risking their tank or to farm more damage. NTR had some of that, but ROXY was the worst. Gotta pad them stats EE.

Most of them are garbage by being bad @ tonks or bad @ life. Rare the twain shall meet.

I think I'm going to use the "contributing to a win" as a metric for myself, because days like today are frustrating. Loss after loss.  I did have this battle which felt really good. One shot away from my first Top Gun award:  And even some losses were good, especially since it was a tier 8 battle, but I got killed for my impatience.

xthetenth posted:drat. Click three times. Playing the ELC was pretty funny because bad games in it still gave 2500+ wn8. Win rate is a lot noisier than other stats. Win rate for a few games means nothing whatsoever where average experience or damage might be relevant. You have to play like 500 games to be confident your win rate is within 1-2%. That said I don't know why anyone uses stats for anything beyond "does this player know you can win the game?"

Especially in light of lovely WN incarnations which have subjective goals and parameters and probably hidden agendas in the Wotlab circle jerk culture. This. Winning is the goal, the other stats just show what you do to win. For example, my stats show I like to platoon so I can get carried!  Matt18001 posted:Yes, I started playing today, it seems ok. I played through the short tutorial which consists of a training battle explaining the card types, a battle against the AI, and then 2 PVP battles. It then grants you access to upgrades, reasearch, deck modifications, ect. Not really a traditional CCG, there is a research tree similar to World of Tanks you reaserch and then purchase cards to put in your deck. The gameplay itself plays more like a turn based strategy game than any card games I have played. So far the only payed elements are premium cards that do not seem overpowered, and premium accounts.

Pft. 2k WN8. gently caress stats, cause I have to do 3500-4000 every single game just to hold steady. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one doing this in a heavy (E-100), instead of all those assholes padding their stats in T62s.

So uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but actual handbrake turning (like on 4-wheeled, non-tracked vehicles) is not possible on tracked vehicles, correct? Because you obviously can't just lock the rear portion of the tracks. Or is it just as simple as locking both the tracks and letting the vehicle slide with whatever momentum it had been carrying?

I haven't been playing Tanks very much since around patch 8.6 or whenever the Japanese line came out. I really liked playing light tanks but back then there was a patch that made guns more accurate and then literally every good map had the old spotting areas nerfed and anything that didn't have thick sloped armour was difficult to play in the new map designs. I read somewhere that guns are less accurate now, TD's have less view range and maybe some other things I've missed. Are light tanks in a good condition right now? I had unlocked the t71, one of my favourites and the amx1390, which I could never get the hang of.

All the t8 lights are quite nice and comfortable at the moment. The accuracy nerf is not a rollback to the olden days, but it is still distinctly more annoying to shoot stuff than now than in the last patch. Their intention was supposedly to nerf snapshots, but they did that by nerfing accuracy in general. t34s turning 180 degrees and immediately shooting you still happens, and is equally or more annoying than before, while you now also have the added bonus of missing a whole lot of fully aimed shots! Basically they nerfed shooting in general, because the meta wg wants for their game consists of players "not clicking on enemy tanks"

The new American lights (and LTTB) are pretty drat good. However you can only scout properly on 5 maps or so (with Fiery Salient being an almost carbon copy of Prokhorovka, except on fire), since the rest of them are made for tanks shooting at each other's turrets at 100 meters range, forever.

I enjoy the Leopard and bought the Luchs back, though I'm unwilling to push up the light tree until I think I'm a bit better as a player. I kept my T-34 around too, so I could unlock the LTTB at some point. Is the MT-25 okay?

No, seriously, the Leopard and VK 28 are still hella fun. Even if you don't do much useful scouting, I love blasting heavy asses. It's the Awfulpanther I haven't bought yet and can vouch for.

the luchs is stupidly overpowered, even more so now that they nerfed viewranges and cut its mm-range. think i had 600 or 700 games in mine before the changes, and it could still carry back then. the leo only feels lackluster, because the luchs is so supremely good

Checked my email and I got in as well! So far my firs pvp the other guy was really aggressive and tok my HQ down to half hp fairly quickly, while I concentrated on killing his tanks. Then he got on the defensive and ran out of cards, and I pushed up and started pounding his HQ, while making sure to kill off the one thing he might get out on the table in a round. And then I lost because time ran out. I didn't even loving see the 15min counter, I'd only noticed the 2-min turn counter. WELP. 2nd battle the other guy is...clearly new to card games. I mean, the first guy was as well, but this dude's terrible, and I kick his rear end easily. 3rd battle the other dude is in the German HQ, which I quickly discover is OP as gently caress. He basically got a Gunner card that let his HQ fire for 3dmg per turn first turn. I had decided to try the US HQ, which only has 16hp. I basically had the chance of a T1 Cunningham vs a Maus. That said, it's kinda fun. Not a huge card-game player, but this definitely seems ok.
