XVM patch is out, I'm running it. My old config carried over, only thing I'm missing is a few tanks in my POGS icons but most matches I've seen them in my KV-1S could kill them (the new french tanks) so :v:

Ah- Smug Mode.

OMC is mostly updated. No sound mods yet, but most of the rest of the goodies are active. Just installed, but haven't actually played yet. Stupid work.

Aslain's basic XVM/contour mod has been updated to 9.7.

This modpack works. It's the same auto install mod list style as Aslain's and OMC, except worse because it's missing several of the mods I like. But it will tide me over until OMC is updated.

I'm getting a lot of crashes and it's pissing me off. In and out of battle. I had 7 in one battle and still managed to survive and be in the top half of my team.

It's something with my mods but I'm not sure what. I'm using OMC and I changed a couple things, but not much.

OK- fired up the game and have been stuck on 'loading interface' for a couple of minutes now. I wonder if whichever mod was making the contacts list load so slowly before the patch is slowing everything down now? I will let it sit for a bit and see if it finishes loading ever. If anyone figures out what I need to disable/delete/rename to speed this up, please :justpost:

A guy just drove through the enemy cap on Westfield to try an go to our spawn. While both teams had 30 seconds left on the timer. They had one guy and we had two, I was in their cap. He had 1800 damage in the battle. And that motherfucker has a 52% win rating?

I just stared at the monitor in disbelief.

His reasoning was:

Got the tier 9 AMX 30. It's a good tank. Maybe even a Very Good Tank. Just got the tracks and the 100mm and everything else is stock. It's actually fun to play (unlike the Charioteer)!

Latest- I went to tinker with the mods and this time the Session Stats were greyed out (Need Update). Loaded into the hangar just fine after reinstalling without those.

e- ugh everything is all hosed up in game. Going to wait until they unfuck some mods.

RanKizama posted:

The M3 Lee is a solid Tier IV tank but suffers from a high learning curve that newer players have trouble adjusting to early on in the game. Hence its terrible reputation. New low-tier players see "Medium Tank" and expect to have a Tier IV Sherman. The M3 Lee is very unforgiving for improper deployment but rewarding when played conservatively. Most experienced players tend to look at the Lee with a higher regard once they've learned the mechanics of the game and come back to it to grind the M4 Sherman or T1 Heavy.

The M3 Lee is a wannabe TD with a really good gun and a terrible silhouette. I ground it out for both the T1 and the Sherman and I found that if I wasn't being shot at I did well. Alas lots of people know the Lee has standard American Medium Armor which makes it a giant target.
Even sidescraping it's easy to pen the gun mantle. Then again it took me until the Tiger to get really good at sidescraping.

it's 10:30 in the evening and my roommate is in the next room screaming at the top of his lungs about losing a match or something? (he's in a tournament that his team's doing pretty well in I guess) but he's losing his mind over being one-shot or something by some innacurate tank (he's literally yelling "It shouldn't work, that tank is not that loving accurate, what the gently caress is that poo poo" and his team is doing something wrong I think since he's lambasting the piss out of them too

This isn't really relevant to anything but it's loving hilarious so I thought I would share with you guys

Assuming he is playing the grand finals tournament its 3v3 so any tank that gets knocked out is 1/3 loss of combat power, and if he is on a team he had to either make it or join it. And he would be retarded if he didn't check the stats of his team mates.

Plus he has to be an idiot since its 3v3 steppes encounter you shouldn't get hit by a KV2 unless you want to get hit, or he was even more retarded and brought slow heavies on a big open map suited for lights and mediums.

Or he brought lights and mediums, and got blown up because the kv-2 driver knows how to use his gun. Which would describe the rage about it being not that accurate.

Good patch, gave up after 2 mins trying to get a battle in my Chaffee since I noticed there was a shitload of LT's and arty lined up, and I was up to TD15 on the missions but now it's all magically disappeared and none of the TD missions are available.

Oh god do I know how you feel. A few years ago, a friend of mine used to be a roomate. He would suck at games at all hours of the day/night and not give a poo poo about who's in the appartment. He broke a few keyboards and going to Toys 'R us was a weekly event to go buy new PS2 controllers. One day we came back from the store with a new remote and within 1 hour he had ripped the cord from the remote in a fit of rage.

He's lucky cellphone camera's were not a thing back then, cuz his rear end would have ended up on youtube at least once a week.

Come to think of it, Youtube didn't exists back then...
