Axetrain posted:From what I understand the 907 has a very vulnerable weak ammo rack. I won't be able to play mine for a bit though but it's nice to have my vanity tank finally. this is true of all the high tier T- series tanks though. A shot anywhere on the front right half of a T-54 will almost always damage the rack.

Valle posted:My dumb mission was track tank and do damage to it. Secondary objective was destroy a tracked tank. Two enemy tanks left, a waffle and arty. Enemy waffle is looking the other way, I zoom up from behind in my batchat. I have time. I aim in, shoot him in the track, he's tracked, aim for gunshield and HOLY poo poo HUGE TANK as the Patton M46 on my own team charges in front of me to block my shot and shoot and kill the waffle. THANKS ASSHAT. And no, there's no way he didn't know exactly what he did, because there was plenty room for him to round the corner and shoot the waffle without getting in my way. So shot him in the rear end. He caught fire. He didn't have an extinguisher. He started slowly turning his turret towards me - slowly cause his crew was burning - and stopped his tank. To aim better or something. And then the enemy arty blapped him and he exploded. He didn't say anything in chat, but I got this after battle: welcome to the now until forever so long as those missions are in place.

the missions would be less retarded if you could pick and choose the order you do them in, but as is I'm seeing waves of people doing the same thing each match. It's really obvious when light tanks are going for the same objective because a lot of the early ones are doable by suicide.

Prav posted:Thing is that I don't think I'd get that. I'd get 5 "unicums" that'd be padded out the rear end who intentionally turn the game into a 10v15 that they then fail to clean up (but with lots of WN8 gained, natch), or I'd get 5 deep reds that would manage to somehow be even less coordinated than usual. 3-man medium groups are already enough to decide a game most of the time at high tiers when you're dealing with blue+ players though, depending on map. Exceptions are due to hubris or retard strength on the 'bad' team like 10 man valley capfast pushes on lakeville.

NTRabbit posted:News from the front, ie supertest man, that's crippling. The medium drop in pen is easily workable, but 220 is low enough to be the breaking point where you struggle to pen other t10 heavies frontally  . The 113 doesn't have anything going for it that justifies this.e: actually that note probably refers to the 121 given it's directly below the wz-120 and has the same nerf. duhhhh

DonkeyHotay posted:how the gently caress do you do badly in the is-4? just show your side at 45 degrees and everybody will shoot it and never ever pen yeah this. I'm bad at the IS-7 but the IS-4 is just go to a corner, turn sideways and shoot things. I find it more reliable to use than the IS-7 in terms of gun and armor layout in any situation except where you can get the IS-7 hulldown.

so, dominion is absolutely maddening to play because pubbies are too stupid to wrap their heads around the notion that a single cap is worth more than the team's kills for the entire match. That and matches running out the full clock making it worthless as a way of earning money. I mean gently caress sake the entire thing is an excuse to go full retard and get away with it and the one time the game mechanics encourage pubbies to do it they somehow manage not to.

Richard Bong posted:Wait is it THE konisch? The one from back in the day? well no they kind of made it boring by giving it conventional stats. it's a slightly better l/75. the awfulpanther would be a brilliant tank if it were a med, instead it's a scout with zero camo that sees t10. you can fart out damage if you get into a flanking position but it has a really hard time doing that.

Cardiac posted:So Domination battles are not half bad actually. Well at least for being a WG event. I think it's been getting better, but the more fun games are definitely ones where everyone goes all out trying to cap because it turns into the kind of retarded scrum that you never get to enjoy in normal play. Consequence free ramming and cliff jumping owns. I'm sure it'll be boring as gently caress if they try to change it for organised play though. Maybe if you get to use 3 your own tanks within a point limit.

ehh. The east corridor is for e100s and fuckoff tds and it's a boring slugfest, the middle is often a trap for most of the game that doesn't get you anything when you win it. The west lane is the most important because it gets you shots in the middle and an ok run into either base but again it's a corridor. I started playing it left-to-right instead of top-to-bottom because it's too easy to win whatever section, make a run for either cap to clear artillery or go behind another lane, and then get nuked by whatever tds are sitting in base doing nothing.

i've been trying reverse psychology to counter valley rushes on lakeville. spam ping the valley and tell all bad players to go there, and when they do, thank them for their honesty. it never works but you can have a giggle instead of being jaded and depressed that bad players still do the dumb thing on a 4 year old untouched map.

KaiserSchnitzel posted:Alright lately I've been getting all kinds of games with tons of artillery and TDs but next to no meds or heavies. I'd always been aware of the jokes going around about "World of TDs" and 4 arty per side, but this has taken a turn lately for the surreal and I don't know why. I don't know if everyone is pantsshitting about a med pen nerf but this is really ridiculous. All I can say about it is that if you are playing a light tank right now you can REALLY clean up. Not like how it was a few months ago when all these new lights were released and nobody knew how to deal with them - it's seriously just a joke right now to get into a light tank and circlestrafe like you are playing Quake III. except this is and has always been bullshit because for every time a light tank does a solo endzone run into your cap or circlestrafes a td to death there will be dozens of far less memorable occasions where the light tank gets blown to pieces far before it gets anything accomplished. Tanks isn't a twitch shooter even if you're in a pz1 powersliding down a hill

it's more that every time a collectable tank bundled with a shitload of gold nobody ever wants crops up serves as a reminder of how loving determined WG is to milk its customers. I really hope AW pulls through even if I never end up playing it because they need some sort of incentive not to do this poo poo. e: yeah every victory. Good time for grinding out new lines if you can deal with how bad the level of play is going to be

I'd trade every instance where I get saved by arty for every instance I get hit by arty in a heartbeat. It's a stupid, broken mechanic and it sounds like they're going to try to fix it by turning everything into an fv304. As anyone who has been shot by a 304 for a whole match knows, this is retarded. There's no fix for arty other than removing it from the game entirely.

yes this justifies the existence of a mechanic that allows players the opportunity to do more damage than the largest direct fire guns in the game from the other side of the map with no risk whatsoever.

The Southern Dandy posted:Maybe you should scout more? should I have to throw a light tank away in the beginning/middle of the game to make sure the above scenario doesn't happen? Because on most maps you're not going to reasonably spot artillery without massive risk until the the game is more or less decided. counterbattery is the only thing spgs have to worry about for most of the game.

TheFluff posted:Counterbattery never loving happens, though. Like, I see it happen successfully in maybe one game out of fifty, if even that. I see it now and again near the start of a match. There's good spots for artillery like everything else and I guess some people are good at gauging shells where they see trees dropping or walls getting crushed.
