Yep.
There are some fun replays coming up on wotreplays.com now and then and which are worth checking out.
I typically skip all those boring tier10 medium/heavy/TD does 10k damage and look at the funnier ones, like a KV-2 doing 7.5k damage.
One interesting thing about all those 10k damage games is how so many are really in the end down to luck. In 99% of the cases the players would be dead long before reaching 10k damage, but they manage to have some lucky bounces.
But it is also plenty of skill in getting that damage. Don't think I have seen a player that is not purple or blue, maybe green, that have managed to do these kinds of damage.

Checks out. Solidly yellow, and my best damage is only a hair over 6k :v:

Yes? If you played a battle in the 4202 when it was a T10 you get it now as a T8. For NA players anyway, everyone else has to grind.

I am bad at arty, because I often ignore XVM. I assess the map, pre-aim at the push lines and wait for someone to stick their face out, or drive in the open.

Typically I focus on heavies, or tanks that I assess are dangerous. XVM is the 3rd thing I will look at, and only if people on the red team are being universally lovely and I've got an overabundance of targets.

I bought the FV4202, had it in the garage for most part of a year, trained a sixth sense crew for it using a Cromwell, played like 3-4 games in just prior to the CAX was released , so yes I did.
Yay, free premium tank.

Wikipedia says that is the 2B1 Oka 420mm SPG. With a 20-meter-long barrel.

i don't want to run the numbers but i think your team had fewer HP so he cleared the 20% barrier while you got robbed by the Maus

or you had to do the needful and shot a teammate at some point.

But the first requirement for high caliber is doing the most damage in the battle overall. At least that is what it says in the description in game

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I can't leFH.

Please teach me how to leFH.


Is this thing just not very much fun until you have a 100% crew and smooth ride/snap shot trained up reasonably?

Also: How does that weird, non-top-down artillery view that I've been seeing in several videos work? Is that a mod?

Easy: Click red tanks and keep on clicking them. Your reload is so fast that you can first snap shot and then wait for the reload without major problems.
The mod you are looking for is Battle Assistant, available in Aslains and probably the others.

Here are some old replays of mine:

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
Don't play the 4202P. It's far worse at t8 than it was at t10. It's at the point where even preferential matchmaking wouldn't make it worthwhile.

Enjoy your free tank and hold on to it in case they ever buff it. Play the Cromwell B instead.

The crewmembers you get for completing the Panzer 58 Mutz missions don't have BIA as a 0th skill. It's a regular 1st skill that you can retrain into anything else. So unless you're short on German crewmen, there's no reason to grind those missions out.

The M46 KR is good, the FV4202 (P) is bad, and the Mutz is great*. Are there others you want to know about?

* against teams of 5-10 Mutzes but also probably against a normal tank mix
