Also, I've been saying far, far worse poo poo than the stuff you mentioned, to my shitter teammates, at that, and not gotten a warning (or at least not in so long I can't remember.) I mean, I'm no Shanky, but I'm definitely one of the major reasons allchat was removed in the first place! :v:

All the example quotes that wargaming had a problem with were from team chat. I mean, if they want to exclude toxicity from the game they might as well take out team chat too.

Then my only outlet will be to ping the map in a malicious and insultive manner.

If I play tomorrow I will hit 2750 tankrewards points or so. Is there a way to get the extra 250 points before it closes? I have already gotten the "secret mission" to set a dude on fire.

I have never actually seen ghosting yet. Most people are just being dicks to each other, which is hilarious as always.

Sorry if my mic is a bit quiet. Didnt notice until it was processing. But you are over exposing yourself and positioning incorrectly in the IS-3. As soon as you saw several guns pointed at you; you should have been driving backwards to let them push forward and get punished by your team mates.

Unfortunately for you; your team mates are terrible glue sniffers and decided to hang back bunched up only shooting nothing when they could have been shooting more scarier tanks.

Hopefully you can see in the video how you were not correctly positioned. Next time you drive in the IS-3 the front of your hull needs to be pointed directly at your enemy if you can't take a hull down position.

You also should have been more worried when you saw half of the enemy team pushing once they picked off a few of your team mates.

What program did you use to record the video for YouTube? I used FRAPS in the past and it looked like poo poo.

Shadowplay. It's an Nvidia software. But OBS works just as good.

Sometimes it makes it all worth it when you derp someone for 700 hp and immediately remove them from the game. Especially if it's a long distance prayer in the first place.

Frontlines would be fun if you didn't have to play it with absolute and utter fuckwits. Yeah, Chrysler K, you're definitely the right tank to sit in our spawn and "snipe" at the enemy. Meanwhile 2/3 of the defenders from one zone have hosed off to camp in another zone, that has all of three attackers in it currently.

It's just depressing steamroll after steamroll tonight.

They gave out an additional token at one point as compensation for some form of downtime. I didn't get it, but it sounds like you did.

I unlocked the Jagdtiger. My first ever T9.

Seems pretty OK except RNG was loving me over haaaaaard. A full side on Leopard PT A's tracks and road wheels ate three consecutive shells with zero damage :argh: The difference between a 1500 point damage and 3000 point damage game.

Idk I have this thing for the French tanks. They piss me off to no end with their derpy guns, but I seem to do good in them.

Also, them and the Italians have the best female crew voices. Just sayin.

I don't know the secret sauce to get General constantly. Usually I finish just below all the generals in overall exp received. I guess playing closer to the cap gets more points? I am usually trying to clear flanks or pick of stragglers (or being the straggler getting picked off).

Side Note: I ended up on the opposite side of Claus in a match. His platoon and stream followers just kind of smashed through us. I only realized it was him after losing my third tank to his KV-5 push though.

McGavin
Sep 18, 2012

The secret sauce to getting General is that you have to either cap or stop the other team from capping.

If you aren't running Engineering on everything and doing everything you can to get cap/reset points you're probably not going to make General.

It's loving insane how many Progettos there are in Frontlines. It seems like 90% of the shots I take are from Progettos, usually camping in some bush 58 kilometers away.

Good. I was fed up with Eastern European salt lords calling people N-words and F-words and reporting the location of their teammates a few days ago already.

E: Nice, the Object 268 TD line will be top of the tree for May (as well as Soviet lights). I unlocked the ISU-152 the other day but didn't buy one yet, so this'll be good. For once I'm playing a TotT line!

Had to defend against a Mahou blob (at least 12 tanks) in frontlines last night and they rolled us so hard the match was over in 10ish minutes and only 1 person made general. Their plan was probably just to wipe all the caps and then farm until the game timed out. Unfortunately the pubbies on their side rushed the guns lmao.

I bought the EBR 75 FL 10. First time out I stopped paying attention for a second, hit some kind of minor bump and managed to flip the thing on its roof head over heels.

When I'm not doing that, how should I play the EBR (or wheeled tanks in general) to make the most of them?
