I was wondering when Wargaming was finally going to get their hands on a Battlefields/War Stories comic: http://kotaku.com/preacher-writer-garth-ennis-will-write-a-new-world-of-t-1772801145 I don't see a 'mature audiences' badge on that cover...so I'm guessing there won't be any rape or calling people 'cunts' three times per page. You can barely call that a Garth Ennis comic. Heh: Kotaku: How familiar were you with the Wargaming franchises before taking on this work? What’s impressed you most about their approach to recreating military vehicles from decades ago? Ennis: I probably know even less about modern wargaming than I do about computer games in general. But I was impressed by their attention to detail, particularly some of the research videos I found on YouTube. And I was glad they weren’t asking me to write nonsense: no tanks from different eras encountering each other, or tanks fighting giant robots or dinosaurs. Translation: "These Russian guys wanted to give me money, so I said 'yeah, sure.'" BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Apr 26, 2016 |

Today, the arcade version of KanColle hit Japanese game centers, and drew lines of fans, with some waiting up to several hours to play. Wargaming could be sitting on a goldmine here, but instead they make WoT Generals.

Blizzard so far have been the only company to put the effort and resources into a viable digital TCG. Every other company just don't try successfully invest into their game or the system. Direwolf Digital has a couple games coming up so we'll see if that changes, but thus far, WoT:G is just another in a long line of companies with terrible business sense that refuses to learn from Hearthstone. Did they ever end up add animations to Generals? I was thinking something like Advance Wars would be cool.

I still maintain that all Wargaming needed to do to make Generals a success is replace its abundance of wrinkly old men with anime schoolgirls. Personally, I don't give a poo poo about anime, but from a business and commercial standpoint it's clearly the way to go.

I barely even got it and it's already getting nerfed. You should stick with the Japanese heavy line and reconsider your evaluation of those nerfs. I mean, I'm on my phone, so maybe there's something I'm missing, but lol at those nerfs. Of course the traverse dispersion is gonna be noticeable, but they didn't touch pen on the Experimental, only hit aim time with point two seconds and reload time by a whopping POINT THREE seconds. Mobility seems to be completely unaffected except for 2 degrees of hull traverse on the top suspension. The guns that got the worst nerf are the ones you're not using. And if they leave the hull traverse nerf of the O-I at 22 PERCENT, not like 2-3 degrees, that's the only bad nerf. Turret traverse was increased by a little, aim time untouched, and reload time nerfed by A FULL SECOND. that's what, like a 2% nerf to reload? Just lol at those nerfs, I'll still be clowning on fools in the O-I Exp. and they didn't touch my O-Ho.

So after marathoning Dark Souls 3 for the past 2-3 weeks I decided to hop back into tanks for a few games. T-10 is so amazing. I always did love the IS-8, the little tweaks they did to it really make this tank awesome. Škoda T 25 is awesome. E75 is still a stat padders dream. I cannot win in the M4 French. I still suck rear end with arty. Type 62 is fun, shame I cannot carry in it more than I can.

I probably wasn't being fair, I guess. My commander is only at about 80% on the O-I Exp. When I get in a position where I can use my armor and reliably get shots with the 10cm, it's great. It's just that it doesn't happen a lot. I also get what seems like way too many shots going way off target. Does having a <100% gunner change the distribution of the shots, or just the radius of the area they can fly to?

The thing with the O-I Experimental isn't its armor (because the armor is bad), it's the fact that the tank is WAY faster than a brick that size has any right to be. The way to play it is using hard cover until you find some oblivious gaggle of pubbies and then crash into their midst like a giant wrecking ball. 100 tons plowing into things at 40 kmph is gonna loving wreck just about anything at those tiers. The gun is somewhat inaccurate, but it's loving brutal at closer ranges. And yeah it will obviously get better when your crew gets better. As far as I know, gunner skill affects aim time but not actual dispersion. Aim time is still pretty important for the tank, because the faster you can take your potshots from out of cover, the better. You should never try to rely on the armor except against some really piddly lower tier guns. EDIT: Well ok, I'm probably being a bit too negative about the armor, but not my much. The cool thing about it is how it's pretty uniformly thick on all sides, so it's pretty easy to angle to get some bounces off it. But still it's not very reliable. EDIT 2: This just happened in a bit over 4 minutes:  I could've probably gotten over 3k before dying but goddamn fastcappers ruined my fun

I'm not saying you should go out of your way to ram things if you can just shoot them, but for example if you get into a situation where you can blindside a couple of tanks, it will absolutely pay off to ram one and shoot the other. For me the tank seems to be a feast-or-famine kinda thing. Either I get focused on and picked apart helplessly or I grind everything before me to pulp. Also I just had a battle where I was aiming at an enemy KV-1S but instead killed a Hetzer who was about halfway between us and hadn't ever been spotted in that battle. That was amusing.

 This is what happens when you have some Polish dude in an FV304 covering you the whole round. Two tanks managed to get behind me and he killed/helped me kill them both. In the end it was me and the FV against a KV-3 and IS-3. The KV used HE at me from point blank (whyyyyyy) and the IS decided it was best to just ignore me. Can't be mad at this tank with its stupid armor that produces bullshit bounces all the time and the 20 pounder.

McGavin posted:Tier 4 1 vs 1 Tournament this Saturday! Covenanter is pretty good too at tier 4, shorter clip reload, and better gun handling. If a luch with the 3 cm misses a shot a convenanter can outdpm the luchs 17s reload, with his 5.2 second clip reload. Plus the luch has to be lucky to clip out the convenanter damage wise. Biggest trade offs are the convenanter is slower and its gold pen is a little lacking but should be sufficient for tier 4.

Grimshak posted:Hows the British TDs been? I've been trying to decide between that, American (hellcat and up), or Russian I'm not sure about the tier 2 and 3 TDs, but it gets pretty good from the Alecto with its 6 pounder or howitzer. After that it's lots of armor, low speed and high firing rates. Some fairly obvious weakspots from the AT 8 and onwards, but that hasn't been too problematic for me. Especially when you're just shooting from a distance. I like them so far. I did try the Churchill Gun Carrier as well and got through it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

M4 Rev isn't too bad but it is the same nation, tier, matchmaking, and vehicle type as the CDC. It is no CDC.

It's Mittengard, so chances are that the Luchs can gently caress off for 17 seconds while it reloads.

The tank would be fine for a tier 8 pref - it's got extremely notable weaknesses that hold it down, and is frequently worse than a random tier 7. When you add in that it sees tier 10s, yeah the tanks bad. Fun in Strongholds though.
