So PINGU has three defenses tonight, and a possible attack. We had an encounter on the attack, since REL_O was trying to defend RDDT's province from us and delay our actual fight. Our clan commander said we weren't going to bother with the REL_O fight because we can't field the team for it so there's no reason to get any of our tanks locked. Fortunately, we had plenty of lovely tier 10s and 9s to get locked instead. Plus it's REL_O, maybe they'll gently caress up.

They're "not leaving their spawn" because it lets them 1) snipe heavies who get spotted moving into town on unsafe routes, 2) shoot into city (especially from the south, which has much better shots), 3) play middle once the tanks who went into the city are occupied and 4) defend the cap from valley pushes which you actually hope to do, because it means their team committed more to valley than your team.

Most mediums and TDs except the really obscenely heavily armoured ones should be sitting there, ready to react to how the game changes. Unless, of course, there are too many in which case some of them should go to city.

Always go into the city driving as far from the lake as you can so you can't get spotted from mid. Then keep an eye on mid when you're at the church to see if they can shoot you from there. But yeah it's easy to get burned by someone sniping from mid.

I'm having a weird issue with Aslain's modpack since 9.7 dropped where some mods refuse to work after an install (Session stats, the garage Auto-Equip mod among them) even though the rest work just fine. I've had no trouble with the modpack on another machine so I guess the problem must be local. I've already tried cleaning up my res_mods folder and reinstalling but no luck so far - does anyone here have an idea what I can do outside of doing a fresh reinstall of the entire World of Tanks folder?

Just copy the whole game from the other machine. I keep a USB stick of a vanilla installation for emergency. And have 3 ssd with various mods.

Even if you take the farthest back route from the south spawn, you can still get hammered from the middle when you cross that little gap just before the house in the corner, I've seen an E-100 get three shotted doing that.

I forget how many goons are in PBKAC, but we do have a goon TS listed in the pgs thread, which is where the password for the in game channel Goons also resides, and the NA goon clan you're looking for is PANSY, the most fabulous clan of all

Then I played a Stug game where I had to put the team on my shoulders and drag them to victory. I had 1 shell left at the end, and that was only because the T67 took the last kill....I wanted that medal again.

Finally people will realize the power of the M48 and FV4202 in CW now. Plus that the E-50 is actually a good tank for CW and is totally viable as a tier 9 tag along.

Is that spot even within max view range of the north side of the road? I know it's only an 800x800 map so maybe it is... but I don't remember lighting people there when I spot from the north side of the road, and I've played a lot of tier 7/8 LTs with overmaxed view ranges.

Anyway, as a general rule, you aren't going to get spotted from the middle road if you go along the K line as far south as you can go. Maaaaaybe if you are in a tank with zero camo value and the enemy team has an overmaxed LT in a great position you'll get spotted... but I still think that's outside max range.

If the enemy scout YOLOs, then that's another story. Draw distance is about 700 meters, so the enemy snipers can shoot you from their cap if they have a straight line of sight.

Nevermind.
Do you guys have a tank that's cursed?



My E50M is loving cursed. I've had it for over a year, but every time I bring it out it's nothing but frustration. It's actually my highest average damage per game tier 10 medium, but no matter how hard I try I can't win a loving game in it. The number of times I've died to ridiculously improbable poo poo just before I can seal the game while driving it is beyond belief, to the point where I won't even play it anymore. It's almost to the point where I'm ready to embrace pubbie superstitions about Wargaming rng. :tinfoil: (Just for this tank though)

Yep, that was a fun few games, though naturally I choked on the presence of good players :v:.

One thing I can say is, binos on the T82 and M8A1 made a huge difference. I got a new personal best in kills with the M8 (5) and had a lot more success with the T82 so long as I could take advantage of my range. My only annoyance was being ambushed at the very last minute of a game that I had brought out team back from the brink. I just couldn't close the deal in a 2 on 1 situation.

this is a stupid dumb logic by wargaming's part because there are two sherman tanks at tier 6 and panzer IIIs fought until the end of the war yet no one is demanding higher tier brackets so that the IS can one hit it.

Got a 2k+ damage/5 kill game in my 122s and lost. :downs: (That was only good for a Mastery Badge: 3rd Class, by the way)

E 25's are sneaky little fuckers. I kind of forgot how fast they are until it was too late and he got behind me at the end of the match. Then it was down to a pubby arty on my team and E 25 on the other team. The dude on my team missed a point blank shot on the E 25 after coming around a corner at just the right time. We lost. It was my first game of the night, but I halfway considered packing it in right there.

Then two matches later I ended up on team with one other player above 48% against a couple purple platoons. How does that happen exactly? :saddowns:

Just 30k games here but I can add my own story. I can safely say a lot of mine were played a few years ago between 11 pm and 6 am when my insomnia was at its worst. At least half my light tank battles during that time were also death races where the goal was to see how far I could get around the map before dying.

The thing that has me confused is how anyone have have stats below 47% without being a bot.
