I looked at VBaddict and just lol at how broken the Defender is. 55.5% WR over 300k battles (with a weighted average between the 2 variants). Also yeah the only holding back the 13 57 previously was MM...to then give it a VStab on top of the MM change is just lol. It's almost as if WG'ing doesn't play their game OR those that do are 45% shitlers. Edit: Others stupid things I noted. The Patriot is the highest net income by almost 1k credits per game. Which is impressive considering there's a 5% gap to #2 (STRV 71) a 23% increase on 5th (Lowe) 32% on 10th (FCM 50t), and 45% on the Defender at 15th. Additionally, the KV220 is also insanely and hilariously broken and always has been, but because t5 no one cares. The FCM 36 Pak 40 has the best WR really of any tank at 60%. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 16:22 on May 31, 2017 |

Lunsku posted:How are the two Russian TD lines branching from SU-100? Realized I had actually gone up to SU-100 (though hadn't bought it) back when playing WoT the last time some years back, as SU-85 then was way too fun, and might as well pick up those again when not in mood for the few British lines I'm grinding... SU-152 is hilarious. The ISU will probably be hilarious (if I ever get there) and the OBJ 704 is also very good. Dunno about the tier 10...I think it's passable, but uninspiring. On the flip side the SU-100M1 can't aim down or to either side and catches fire a lot/losses the engine. No idea on the 101. Looks like it gets a bit of a doom cannon, but my guess is that it is a bitch to make it work. Looking at WR stats the 122-54 appears to be not very good as well, but the T10 the better of the two lines. Edit: Conventional wisdom is go into the SU/ISU line keep the SU-100 (because it owns) and then eventually unlock the 100M1 and....play a different line because that thing is bad. Weirdly looking at VB the SU-152 has the worst WR of all tier 7 TDs and I find that massively surprising, but pubs going to pub. rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Jun 2, 2017 |

Barry posted:It would be nice if in-game stats were gone. I feel like you'd just generally have a better time if you're blissfully unaware of how large the tomato vine on your team is. I think it would lead to generally better games, because you wouldn't get those "well XVM says this is a 49% chance, I'm just going to play like a retard because it's already over" idiots. On the one hand I enjoy the game more when I do not have XVM installed. On the other hand I do better with it installed. Therefore I choose improved WR over enjoyment. What was the question again ?

MariusLecter posted:Which is the superior tank, Thunderbolt VII or the Fury? Fury is an Easy 8 with a crappier mantlet (I think or it had the HD mantlet prior to the E8 getting it) and the Thunderbolt is a more maneuverable vaguely less armored Jumbo. Thunderbolt reminds me of the Super Pershing play style but better at it for the tier and not as mind numbing because of having at least some speed and acceleration.

Hellsau posted:Also PvE is verboten for some reason. BIG HEADLINE posted:WG's first attempt at bots were the "forts" in Bastion mode in Warships. They were pretty dead-on accurate. Bastion was loving awful. Fortunately they removed it completely form WoWS. I do not recall if they were going to try and re-implement it or not. But, in the most recent patch WoWS did add a PvE mode that's reasonably interesting and actually somewhat challenging. Not a ton of replay-ability to it, but getting a full group together to try and do it was pretty fun. Also, AI Botes shoot and torp better than pubs. Go figure.

Just lol if you don't remember using the old 85mil t-28 in tier 7s. In my day you ground it out and you liked it! And premium ammo for credits wasn't a thing. Also there were like 6 or 7 trees in the game...fffffuuuuuckkkk I've playing this garbage too long.

HFX pretty sure with borderless windowed it'll still lock Vsync on and you may not be able to remove it That might be completely wrong. Tanks is still bad and even though I barely play the kv-220 is pretty much the pinnacle of the game in terms of OPness since I can gleefully play pants on head and poo poo out a 70% wr.

Couldn't you take the hellcat with the 76mil into historic as well? Similar outcome to the Easy 8. I mildly enjoyed historic, but like many game modes the rewards weren't worth the effort.

If they are any good would the chinese or german t10 light be better? The 13 57 is the best thing ever. Also the 13 90 is hilarious once again, though not exactly release day hilarious.

In its prime it was a terror, but they seriously loving managed to nerf all the fun out of it. Meanwhile, the LeFH is still in the game in its original form.... Psh...I wish.

Logged in. Played 3 games. WoT is probably worse than its ever been. 15-3, 15-5, and 15-5 losses. I think I defended new MM when it first dropped but it's horrific. If you have useless top tiers you're just going to get rofl stomped.

Hellsau posted:I mean it would require a bunch of retooling with the credit economy to reduce low tier credit earnings to an amount that would reasonably allow you to buy the next tier of tank, but require people to start playing higher tier tanks to earn enough credits to buy the end game stuff, but then wargaming could actually balance the tanks which is impossible to do with +2/-2. If they actually put in the effort to do such an overhaul maybe they'd add to their playerbase, rather than people playing the first few tiers, seeing how miserable they are and quitting? I mean yeah. But we've been at this for ~6 years and there is very little evidence of WG ever making the smart and healthy decision in regards to retaining their player base, balancing their game, or improving/fixing completely hosed up mechanics and map design.

appropriatemetaphor posted:When you say "tank line", is that a general light/med/heavy or a literal line like going T-60/70/80/34? I feel like I like medium tanks, but I haven't unlocked a heavy yet so not sure about those. Tank line - the continuous line start to finish usually all being the same 'class' except you usually get the switch over at t4/5, but it's not a set in stone kind of thing. Don't keep the t-46...unless you need it to grind credits and junk/don't have anything else to play when your main tank is stuck in game. Honestly don't buy a 75% crew until you're in t4...that's where the grind really starts and is also where your difficulty curve is more a wall than a curve. If you're in the the T-46 you're going to end up in the T-28 and then the KV-1 which is good. KV-1 line is pretty much one of the best starter lines. If you're looking for mediums to also play you want to go up the t-60 into the t-70 and t-80. The T-34 is a very good place to be although to get the most out of it requires a significant investment of silver to shoot all the premium ammo out of the 57mil. Accelerated training is for either a premium tank (if you aren't going to grind XP to convert on it) or a tank you've unlocked all the mods on. It dumps a larger amount of XP into your crew making them level up a bit faster, but it's still a gently caress ton of time and games to get them anywhere. If you're talking about the T29 (US tank) and then putting them into the t-34 USSR tank you can't do that. If you mean T34 (US Premium) then since the crew is already a heavy crew, it slots in without any retraining required. Silver training from tank to tank in the same class is a -10% vs going from different classes is a -20% (i think). Moral of the story is that crews in WoT is really dumb, handled poorly, and take ages to be 'useful' by which time you'll either have quit, still be oblivious and bad, or be an exceptionally bitter vet that wishes great harm upon the player base and creators.

Wargaming are insanely retarded so RIP Pref MM....lol Church III you were good times, Type 59 you were OP and then you weren't but pubbies are so bad it's still capable of clowning on them, RIP KV-5, lol Super Pershing, MASSIVE RIP to the kv-220, and lol IS-6. poo poo could go on and on and on. How about you just make loving same tier MM and fix the balance/map issues that have existed for I don't know....5 years now? Sounds hard....so you're going to take the path of least resistance and plow forward.

So one of the recent Wargaming patches to this garbage makes my connection incredibly unstable and the server dumps me out every 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Assuming it connects at all. A+ job on whatever you did WG...I was even going to maybe play my t8 prems instead of spinning my tanks around and then maybe demolishing everyone in a KV-220.

Been playing a little bit of frontlines which are fun but the nerfed rewards relative to their first introduction is such a loving nut kick. Additionally, some of the terrain is crazy glitchy causing the reticle to straight up not aim in the vague vacinity of a target and when you do it eats your shell even though the tank is rendered 5 to the left of it. Finally, loving wheeled vehicles can be some insane bullshit. Crazy on the move accuracy and half the time you hit the tire for zero damage. What is even the point of a light tank then. In taking about LTs though holy poo poo the base pen on most them is atrocious. The M41D has the best base pen (oh look more premium bullshit power creep) and a really good APCR premium round. The German Bulldog gets a solid 180 90mm base, a 250 HEAT, and a freaking 105mm pen HE shell. The gently caress. So I grabbed a HWK 12 and man does it suck rear end. I have the LTTB which is ok but doesn't do aiming down and because aiming is as arbitrary as it ever was just loves tossing poo poo everywhere and the US tree Bulldog which is a shadow of its former self. So freaking annoying. One other note now that I'm ranting....WoWs saw a huge drop off in games played Q1 this year compared to last year. I know WoT has been bleeding player base the last few years...so I'm really curious to see if there is as large a fall off for WoT.

The biggest annoyance with Frontlines now vs when it was first introduced is that they nerfed credits by what seems like 50% and XP is maybe 1/3rd of what it was. Which like every different mode WGing has introduced (Rampage/Historic) the 'rewards' have always been completely garbage relative to the base random games....which still have terrible rewards.

The idea of putting a ton of HE shells on a T1 Heavy, Easy 8, or even T14 and being about to plink away at tons of stuff that the APCR would be iffy to pen sounds funny as hell to me.
