I managed to get a Gore's medal and Master qualification on my S-51. One shot a TigerP, who spent the rest of the match complaining that I cant do that much damage in one hit. Probably my favorite game in WoT in a LONG time.

I've started a team for Skirmish XIV if anyone is interested. 4v4 tier IV's with one T67 allowed. Since it's not likely that enough savages from Pansy will join, all goons are welcome. Hopefully someone competent enough to call will join and we can win some gold. I'm Ultron666 IGN. Team Savage Sailors pw is lljkpanzy

 Punished for using the Hellcat/T49 to grind credits. srb posted:Check my winrate on this tank: Yeah I agree.   WN8 is worthless. Anyone who disagrees, please check my stats in my mediums. WN8 is supposed to balance extremely overpowered tanks with relatively underpowered tiermates, so doing well in a T-54 is viewed as less impressive than performing well in a Leo PTA. I am not a very good T-54 player. My adequate play in the T-54 should not be given 3200 WN8. If WN8 doesn't actually balance good tanks against bad tank statwise, why the gently caress even bother with the whole exercise   Difference in average damage between those two? 12.   Although...

Mesadoram posted:That... that is just brutal. It is VERY difficult to carry in the 59-16 as you have very little ammunition, not spectacular gun handling, and very low penetration. The games where your team doesn't instantly vaporize, where you can maneuver to get the side and rear shots you need to penetrate are pretty rare. Very fun, very cool tank, but also insanely frustrating as you can't take a hit, you can't fight most things frontally, and you can't penetrate several tanks in the side and rear at any non-flat angle whatsoever. Seriously, trying to circle an IS in this thing is NOT fun. Basically hold your fire, get right behind him and get as many shots as you can straight from behind, then either get out or go for several laps around him to avoid his gun. Because you might actually bounce on his rear end if you are off-angle. With gold. quote:WN8 is worthless. It makes my screen look bright and nice.

From status report: -It's possible the platoon missions from individual missions will be removed ("there are multiple variants"), developers do have statistics on how many people are "stuck" on platoon mission; - HT15 individual mission will be simplified for StuG IV and T28HTC; I'm a fan of both of these. I don't like that platoon missions are part of the individual mission line, if they were bonus objectives I'd be perfectly fine with that. Plus the LT and SPG missions are pretty dumb and rely on a fair amount of luck that not only will your spotting damage count, but the SPG diceroll will come up.

If the missions were tweaked slightly more in favour of direct contribution (ie: winning) to the game and not TRACK 3 ENEMY VEHICLES THEN WAIT FOR ALLIES TO~ it'd be great. The 'kill 3 TD' missions are also a bit  but I can at least see why they're there.

Anyone for SUPERPREF IV B2 platoons during this month when all kinds of motherfuckers are going to be playing tier IV tanks? Edit: oh, and as of today I now own TWO Pz IIJs, like a retard. I have an EU account that is populated with premium tanks only and crews from the winter 8-bit thing. So, an FCM Pak 36, a T-14 (lol), I think a T-127, and I definitely also have a Church III. And now, a Pz IIJ. It's like I have a conspiracy theory in my head that World of Tanks NA is going to be shut down, and I need a backup account in case SHTF.

 Leave while going is good. Also, only 1st class.  Clearly the superior choice for WN8 padding.   Someone said arty can't carry?  Have I told you how much I love the KV-5?  The AMX 13 90 is fun. MM, not so much.

Well I don't get that kind of WN8 but I win like 7/10 in it, and I feel like it's the best of all the freebies by far. There is literally nothing bad per-tier about the LTP. I'd play it a lot more if I didn't have a BT-SV for sure. Speaking of which, I've been playing the tier 4 Japanese light tank (Type 5 Ke-Ho) and it's just ridiculous. You seriously can't have a bad game in that tank. it's just loving silly compared to ANY other tier IV light...highly recommended.

The VK 4502 B is perfectly balanced and has in no way been grossly overbuffed, I assure you guys.  How do I carry in the Leopard 1 help   The thing I'm getting from this is that I really ought to buy back the MT-25. Soulfucker fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Apr 2, 2015 |

According to that stats site I am really, really poo poo in Soviet heavy tanks. Which is kind of disappointing as that's by far what I've played the most. Apparently I'm not a complete spooner in the T-44 and Matilda IV though. I could never make that tank work well. I got a lot better after fully upgrading it and accepting that it was never going to be the IS-3, and instead treated it like the world's fattest medium. Any tips?

The absolutely worst part about artillery in this game is that sometimes, you really don't know that you're gonna get shot, because they've spent four minutes looking at a spot in front of you, never shooting anyone else, and then WHEN you roll forward five meters to take a shot from a new position you get nailed by 3 of them at once.

Nah, the worst part is waiting those four minutes and then missing because playing artillery is basically this game's equivalent of getting your bollock trapped when your dislocated hip is popped back in.

There is a specific playstyle to that entire line that involves a lot of ad-hoc sidescraping, but it's a good line. The E-50 is the best at doing it, but the Panther 2 wasn't bad either.

If they are tweaking individual missions, they really need to change the spotting requirements. 5k spotting damage is literally impossible to achieve on all but maybe 5 maps in the game. You have to get the right map, then have teammates ACTUALLY SHOOT RED TANKS, which is highly improbable. Even then you are usually racing 3 other lights on your team to get to spots. Make it a combo of spotting and damage dealt or something. Can you tell I have been stuck on LT-15 for the T28HC for a loving month? Not bitter at all. Not me.

The mission I really dread is HT-12 for the T-55A. 3x hp in damage blocked and 3000 damage. It's going to be hard to get 3000 damage while I wait for the enemy to plink that many shots off me.

It took me the entirety of the post-upgrades grind from MT-25 to a fully upgraded LTTB and then some just to do LT-15. The first time I got a map where it was possible (Malinovka, encounter, east spawn) I did it. loving stupid mission.

It's going to be hard to get 3000 damage while I wait for the enemy to plink that many shots off me. I have seen one T-55A in game, so it isn't completely impossible, but I would be willing to bet it is effectively impossible without gaming it somehow. My suspicion is that the large clans collude/count in and hope to land on opposite sides. We should start doing that...might be suspicious if clanmates did it, but we have enough goons who aren't in PANSY to try it out. I am happy to help with missions (in the traditional sense or otherwise). Although apparently I am not much help if my hideous run with Hellsau last night is any indication.

The missions are retarded and the game is much better if you just ignore that they exist. Also AW missed their Q1 Beta testing launch but there doesn't seem to be outrage which really surprises me.
