Hellsau posted:So the Chaffee can get a VStab because Wargaming. Always use a VStab. That line has really good view range, so use Optics. I usually choose Vents next because GLD with VStab basically does not do anything even without considering #snapshotmeta, but let's be real here 2.5% boost to everything is pretty mild so I'd understand using a Wet Ammo Rack if you don't enjoy throwing credits into the wind on Large Repair Kits. Chaffee also gets a rammer so you can do rammer instead of vents like I do. Seems to work when you've got the opportunity to circle-strafe a hapless tank.

Yo dawgs, we're gonna try to do Domination in 2 hours. I don't know if you weird Euros follow our weird bullshit custom, but US clocks skipped forward an hour. So....two hours after this post, show up.Blindeye posted:Chaffee also gets a rammer so you can do rammer instead of vents like I do.

T37 and M41 cannot use the Rammer even thought I was reasonably sure earlier this week that the T37 could use one. Chaffee is definitely VStab/Rammer/Optics.

Don't worry, as bullshit as the first two tiers are, tier 3 and tier 4 tanks will get far, FAR more battles as bottom tier on the NA server than is reasonable. Welcome back!

Two things NA dudes - get on Discord and in the ingame Goons channel for Rampage in 20 minutes, and if you don't have one, buy a goddamn Rudy. Tank is good.

Is there any particular line I should be avoiding in terms of the tech trees? Kinda want to stick to one line instead of spreading myself thin like last time. Are the Czech line good? I'm on the cusp of tier 4 and I'm not impressed so far. I've heard the Jap Heavies are a mixed bag. I might just play German tanks this time around, I didn't really invest much time into them.

if in doubt, play Soviet or American mediums or heavies. all other lines come with caveats.

I've heard the Jap Heavies are a mixed bag. I might just play German tanks this time around, I didn't really invest much time into them. The Czech line has both horrifically bad tanks (T-24, T-34/100, TVP VTU) and tanks with really rough stock grinds. Almost all French tanks aren't ones you should do early. British Heavies got nerfed to poo poo to compensate for the overpowered Conqueror and good FV215b. There are probably more difficult lines, but these are the actual horrendous lines with no payoff: FV4005 Japanese Heavies (past tier 7) IS-4 Foch 155 Centurion AX Basically every artillery line that doesn't end in the M53/M55 T110E4 unless you believe in the power of #snapshotmeta Everything else either has a good tier 10 or reasonable tier 8/9 tanks.

Counterpoint: Hellsau has a lot of stupid hyperbolic opinions and for example the Brit medium line has several very enjoyable tanks.

I quit before the Centurion AX took the place of the FV4202(?) and got up to Cent Mk 1 and I agree it was fun. But considering I haven't played the game in ages and I'm starting from scratch. I'm looking for a means of... I guess getting back into the swing of it, in the least painful way?

the british medium line is lovely until you finish the Comet, at which point you can safely ignore the rest of the line

For your question though, yeah I think the CAX is a really enjoyable tank to drive, and so is the 7/1. Some people will tell you otherwise, but if you enjoy the Cent 1, I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy the other Cents since they're very much the same playstyle, just with a slower, higher alpha gun.

apseudonym posted:This patch is entertaining. I'm loving the new physics. I was in a pub game last night and the last enemy was an arty that was just sitting on it's side. I figured the guy who found him would just blow him away, but no. He just stopped and everyone was laughing at him. A few of my team (I was dead, as always) gathered around him and and we were all debating what to do with him. It was so sad, the arty was like "Come on guys, just kill me..... come on....". We finally decided that he should die by ramming and the sentence was carried out. Hilarious. That sucks to hear about Assault mode because I like the idea of it. Although, now that you mention it, I think I noticed that most of the players were red. Not sure if I want to turn it off or not. I used to always be concerned about my win rate and everything but now I am leaning towards just trying to have fun. A difficult thing to accomplish in this game.

Sayara posted:Speaking of M53/55, should I get that instead of T92 that I already have to do arty missions? The only benefit the T92 has is if you need a bombardier. I've thought about it. The M53 is superior in every other metric, though. Nordick posted:Counterpoint: Hellsau has a lot of stupid hyperbolic opinions and for example the Brit medium line has several very enjoyable tanks. The Cent 1 is not a good tier 8. The Cent 7 is a mediocre tier 9 medium. The Cent AX is a mediocre tier 9 medium that is considered a tier 10 for some reason. Also the Cent 7 has a pretty disastrous module grind if you haven't gone down the Brit Heavy line. Pennywise the Frown posted:That sucks to hear about Assault mode because I like the idea of it.

I used to always be concerned about my win rate and everything but now I am leaning towards just trying to have fun. A difficult thing to accomplish in this game. When I want to troll Exia, I do one of three things: 1) Imply Exia's spotted because his dog is barking. 2) Teamkill both him and myself when our artilleries are the only two tanks alive, turning a win into a draw. 3) Enable Assault and then try to persuade Exia not to teamkill me. Look at all these reasons not to teamkill me, Exia! It isn't like we're loving doomed or anything. Pretty sure 95% of goons turn off Assault.

I might just play German tanks this time around, I didn't really invest much time into them. I think the line with the biggest payoff is the soviet light line. You will get the t-34, LTTB which is really fun, a t-54 light which is the best light, t54 best medium, and t62a/obj140 which are really good. If I was just starting, this would be the line to start with. 4-6 keepers in a line is bananas. Ramsus fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Mar 14, 2016 |

Just play the German tanks then, there's plenty of them, you get the benefit of cross-unlocking modules, and there are more good tanks than in the newer, more limited trees. What's your new IGN? Your old one used to be "stringbeans," right, before your buyer re-named the account?

Quietstorm, it's not an old childhood ign I swear. My friends and I use to make fun of a certain teacher because his voice sounded like it belonged on a smooth jazz radio station.

It does rely on your team mates not being total dogshit a bit more than the other Tier 9 mediums which is the main issue I'm finding.
