I feel that the current spread model combines the major annoyances of the original blunderbuss and the 8.6 autohit distribution. Roll it all back. All the way.

The only time distribution didn't suck was launch

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm going up the American TD line for a keeper at Tier 4 or 5, was planning on the T67 because I had boatloads of fun with it when it was still the T49, is it still stupidly good for pubstomping and how good does the Wolverine handle in comparison? I feel like the Wolverine is just a Hellcat sans the good gun at one tier lower.

I've used auto aim on the move for years and it's always seemed to hit more than it should are we positive they've actually changed anything?

The T67 is still great. You missed out though - they swapped the top and stock turrets around a while ago before the TD view range nerf and it had 370m view range at tier 5. It was pretty bananas to have scout view range and mobility and (stationary) camo and a great gun.

More shells miss while fully aimed than it did before the most recent accuracy change, giving you more incentive to snapshot rather than aim. Might as well go for the luckshot while getting into a better position.

I wasn't around yesterday, and tried to log on today for some pre-clan wars pubbing, and it appears that those bulba nerds were mad enough to follow through on their threat to get me banned on friday night.

Or maybe it's a coincidence. Either way it's a good excuse to go play better games for a while.

Even the crash with the first batch of HD models was blamed on mods first, then the story was that most of the crashes were mods but some were the game, then eventually they fixed the bug without really admitting that their lovely code was the only cause.

Was hilarious being in historical battles with an entire team completely locked out of the game because the game would crash, but restarting the client would load you back into the same game for another instantaneous crash without the ability to exit to the garage.

Recommendations for the 2nd, 3rd skill on the CDC?
Retraining to Sixth Sense and Safe Stowage on commander/loader, had camo on the other two, but despite 4 folks with 100% camo, I haven't really felt like it helped at all, I seem to be spotted wherever I go. Not that this is a problem if I play accordingly, but I'm having a hard time deciding between repair/camo for everyone but the gunner (with snap shot) since this is a paper-medium.

Also:
I might just keep both the M8A1 AND the T67 around, goddamn.

I pretty much train repairs as first skill across the board then retrain for SS,snapshot,smooth ride,safe stowage, and start retraining repairs again.

Camo seems to have taken a back seat now still go for it on a light tank and tds but snap shot meta is the new thing.

Everyone is going to have their thing they think works the best. So really comes down to your play style. I am aggressive no matter what tank im playing.

I would like the AMX 30 (tier 9 one) a hell of a lot more if it didn't have the French tendency to fire straight into the ground every 2-3 shots.

Maybe I'll grind to the tier 9 one through strongholds or something some day.

The Type 61 was pretty easy to grind through though and has worse gun handling/dispersion.

I hate to spoil your "I'm going to be a douche too!" fun, but I gently caress up occasionally in every tank I play.

You probably don't ever gently caress up with your 200% win percentage though. You are literally the Jesus Christ of pix tanks.

PS to I've only played it twice since people here are more interested in being dongs than answering my question and I have a 0% win rate on it. :cripes:

I obviously meant ix. I was drinking again. Cut me some slack.

just need turret and the T9 gun tracks are required for this (gun handling blows but it works.) The t10 gun has been treating me really well. Gun handling improves allot.

An answer! Cheers. I will just grind out the free XP for the turret and the tier x gun before I start using it then.

If you care about things like win rate and WN8, then free exp the turret and top gun. I ground it out from stock and did alright, but the first 120 mm sure helps. You could probably just free exp it and then grind out the rest because you don't need the tracks to mount it.

One of the shitters on my tournament team ran an M8A1 until I yelled at him enough to buy a Luchs for day 2. It's got decent enough DPM for tier 4 with the 57mm, but the lack of HP is a pain because a Luchs with the 3cm can clip it.

The difference between the stock turret and the upgraded one are really minimal compared to how pronounced it is on most tanks. Also the tier 9 gun (120 mm Gun T122) is totally serviceable. As far as free exp, only the tier 9 gun is mandatory, the tier 10 gun just makes the tank more fun to play. I'm pretty sure some goons have even completely skipped the tier 10 gun to get to the T110E5 faster.
