There was a Obj. 704 in one of my matches who asked if anyone on our team supported the gay marriage decision and got a bunch of positive responses. So he sat in base the rest of the match and called people "cretins" and "degenerates" instead of playing the game. The butthurt is so strong.

None of the awful viewpoints should surprise anyone, the WoT playerbase probably skews heavily towards 35+ conservatives.

Got the 100mm on my KV-85. Great gun, but my win rate suffers when not platooning. Observe:



My own team kept running between me and the heavies/TDs I was targeting, most of the broadside to them peeking from between buildings whereas I had spent most of my time flanking and sidescraping. My teammates did make good cover though, so I'll give them that. It was just a bad game in general.

I'm trying to do LT-15 but I keep getting either maps that are wholly unsuited for light tanks, or teams full of wolfpacking mediums who don't leave anything for me to spot, or both. Of course, tracking assistance damage counts too, but gently caress trying to proactively work towards that instead of just taking opportunities as they come. Then there's also the business of doing enough direct damage.

ugghhhh I just want that fourth tanker lady for the Charioteer, why you gotta be like this, game

You can buy a BT-SV on the EU server this weekend.... for 100 EUR (30,500 gold included, so it's almost free!). Don't think I'll go for it.

Given that people were paying over $100 to buy the boxed set that came with way less secondary incentives, for collectors that's not an awful deal. It's just still not worth $100.

it's more that every time a collectable tank bundled with a shitload of gold nobody ever wants crops up serves as a reminder of how loving determined WG is to milk its customers. I really hope AW pulls through even if I never end up playing it because they need some sort of incentive not to do this poo poo.

loving finally got the first LT-15. Need a total of 4k points of direct and assistance damage combined, and I got 5,2k of just assistance damage alone, with 1k direct on top for good measure.

So, I finally elited and sold the M3 Lee and got into the T1 Heavy. From what I see in the stats of pretty much all the US heavy tanks, I assume I should be peaking over ridges and using gun depression in pretty much every match?

I actually bounced a 311 pen shot on that hat.

But good lord what a loving turd of a tank. Miserably slow even by superheavy standards and armored like a loving Maus - which gets really loving unimpressive when you have enough turret bloom and aim time (3 point loving 3 - 3,5 if you use the joke gun) that angling the turret in-between shots is hugely impractical. Oh boy.

I think my favorite detail is that it gets a base reload of 13 seconds with the stock 10,5 L/67. That's 1476 DPM on a T9 baby. With 0,28 turret bloom, of course.

It turns out having the best frontal armor in the game at tier 9 while also only being slightly worse than the E-75 in most other ways is probably too good for tier 9.

Ahahahaha wait wait wait this gets even better. That's not the KT top gun, nor is it the stock gun, it's some entirely new Mäuschen-exclusive mandatory unlock that'd suck rear end on a T7 and costs 44k to research. What the gently caress Wargaming.



Also the engines are fabulously priced. I like the second one, it gives you 8% extra horsepower for a mere 42k exp.

Of course, the big question is, with the upcoming AP/HEAT/APCR nerfs, is the Maus going to be actually viable, and is that why they're positioning the Mauschen to be the shittiest grind in WoT?

I saw a Lowe today. He managed to fire three shots in the entire game, all of them HE. He also drove straight into me, and then straight into a wall. He has a higher global win rate than mine. It was equally perplexing and depressing. I meanwhile had the most catastrophically bad session in memory. gently caress you, Tanks. You fickle bitch.

The Maus gun, but with utterly crippled acc, ROF. bloom and aim time. There's also a gimmick 15 cm that's even less accurate and only gets 225 pen with no gold shell.

the entire purpose of free xp is to buy the better modules for tanks so you don't need to grind on stock

don't suffer through a lovely stock gun if you can just buy the better one with free xp

in fact, save yourself a headache and don't even buy a new tank unless you've got enough free xp to get it off the garbage it starts off with

seriously i can't imagine unlocking a tier7+ tank and not instanty unlocking the tracks at the very least with free xp.

i simply refuse the mere concept of grinding for tracks. grinding for the priviledge of using other poo poo.
