My favourites will always be the people who lack the brainpower to turn their tank and their turret at the same time.

It's at the point where I feel confident that if I have to 1-v-1 any rental, I can just casually keep driving my tank around them and shoot them in the rear end over and over again.

The FV304 is hilarious to play when you're getting annoyed with the game. Go into the heavy line, park behind a rock, make someone hate you.

I'm enjoying the 'Oakwood' style you can get in the Eagle Token store at the moment. It's the same for all maps, but you can choose between 'Ebony' and 'Ivory' styles. https://imgur.com/a/biKPlWw "Da comrade, I build this tank in carpentry shop in gulag. Good, yes?"

The T5 Polish TD is complete rear end. The only thing it has going for it is the alpha (240). But it has a pitifully bad spotting range, poor concealment, a laughably bad gun traverse arc, questionable accuracy, no armour and so few HP you'll literally be two shot. Just miserable to play. You know what isn't miserable though? The Lynx 6x6.  I really can't recommend the French wheeled lights enough. They are completely different from anything else in the game, and while there's a learning curve, it's not unsurpassable by any means, and once you figure them out they're so much god drat fun, and also so loving GOOD. I'm currently rocking a 65,7% WR in my Lynx 6x6 and I'm generally a ~51-52% WR player. E: The T6 Polish TD immediately feels a LOT better!

Yeah, the Zadymka is *awful*. No armour anywhere and a distinctly uninspiring alpha. I laugh them off when I see them. Higher tiers are nastier though.

I enjoy the T8 Polish TD, but the T7 is a really solid tank. I almost regret selling it.

I also stopped leveling the Swedish TDs. I just don't enjoy the backline bushwanker gameplay anymore, and that seems to be the only way you can really play them. Might be a missed opportunity since they're ToTT right now, but they're just not fun to play.

You can't do that in the UDES though. It is 100% a bushwanker.

You can def run more advanced positions in the UDES but the armour is nowhere near as good, try playing it like an aggressive light. Don't get me wrong, the best role is still going to be camping the redline and waiting for people to blunder into vision but it's far from a one trick pony.

The armour on the UDES gets overmatched by 75 mm shells. It isn't going to block poo poo.

So I need to ask; is there some secret modifier applied to the T25/2? Because I had been bracing myself for this tank all the way up the line, seeing its terrible pen, and its so-so camo, and its tiny hp pool, and its non-existent armour, and its sort-of-fast-but-not-really speed, and I was ready to hate it. But my stats? I am a 700 WN8 player. I'm posting more than twice my standard WN8 in this thing, and I have no idea how. And yes, small sample size, I know. But even so, I have no idea how this beater is performing for me.

I went ahead and rebought the T32. It was my second ever T8 back in the day after the T20, and I could not make it work at all. Maybe now I'll do better? Vando posted:The others are so much better it will feel like such a relief once you're through. Well, it can't get worse at least because the UDES 03 feels like poop from a butt. ninjaiguana posted:So I need to ask; is there some secret modifier applied to the T25/2?

But my stats? Nah, you just clicked with the tank. It's awesome when that happens, and well done! I had a great time with both branches of the US tank trees, and they both get incredible from T8 onwards, so if you're enjoying the T7 you're in for a great time!

I had a great time with both branches of the US tank trees, and they both get incredible from T8 onwards, so if you're enjoying the T7 you're in for a great time! I'm wondering if there's something to be said for a tank that doesn't appear to have any real strengths sometimes. Not sure I'm explaining this well, but for example; in some of my heavies I'll make (in hindsight) stupid decisions thinking 'If it goes wrong, maybe my armour/my hp can get me out of this!' Or in a medium 'maybe my speed can get me out of this!' And so on. But in this thing? I don't feel I've got anything to fall back on, so weirdly I'm getting myself into less stupid scrapes and bad positions, because I think 'Well, I could...nope, this tank sucks, that's a dumb idea, I'll die'. I'm just playing more carefully, and it seems to be working. Now I just need to get my brain to do more of that with other tanks. XD

Just got back into this game after a few years, trying not spend a bunch of money on gold with limited success. A few of my friends have started so we actually have a viable clan in the works, I'm sadly the second most experienced so I don't expect greatness. Enjoying lowering my coinflipper solid win rate as I grope for the new metas. Speaking of which, is there a good currently updated tank guide/wiki? The Wargaming wiki seems out of date.

I mean the E4 isn't bad but it doesn't cost 12,000 bonds or whatever they introduced the v5 for.

To be fair, Siggie is a hypershit map unless you have a hulldown monster tank. And you must be by yourself in one of the two (2) designated spots per team that you can actually play on, behind those rubble piles.

This kind of day today. 0-6. None of the games were even close. I think the most competitive was 4-15. I had the four kills. Of course this was always going to happen because my dailies are win 3 games and win 4 games.
