Soulfucker posted:I did a ram today I thought it was funny and decided to youtube it. When your tank is just sitting there on top of the other for a while it makes me think of a really big dog sitting in too small a chair or your also very likely too small of a lap.  ... If I could snag a Ram II on the super cheap would it make for an alright American medium trainer? Or should just I stick with my Sherman addiction based Fury for that?

Ditto!   Solid run of games last night though. Let's do that again. Plus as a side effect I actually have credits and am way closer to researching the E-100. Less than 45K xp to go. Which isn't too bad in E-75 if you just mildly pay attention to the game while you play it. I really had a god drat blast when I raged out in the Type 59. Too bad that game wasn't winnable. All those scared enemy tanks were prime for killing, but oh well pub teams. And it was great to go out on my IS finally hitting enemies and scoring its only win of the night even if I blew up half way though the match. ... Thanks for all the Ram II discussion. I might grab it sometime if I still have the chance to pay pretty much nothing just to check it out and at worst end up with a garage slot to put another fascist brick in (or finally play around with some glorious Soviet people's brawley tanks I'd probably do better in). Amazon credits are a cool thing like that. Oh, and I'm totally up for the occasional goon team for random tourneys if anyone needs a fairly competent spaz to pad numbers, goof around, and (try to) kill some pub squads.

Last night in Pansy dongholds I killed a guy by driving off a cliff, flying over him, and my Crommy B's rear end goomba stomping him a second after my front touched down thinking I had overshot. I floored reverse and the stars aligned. An artist's rendition of the magic moment about to happen:

CitizenKain posted:I think the 57mm on the KV-1 is a good gun, but I preferred the 85mm while using it. The gun has a fast enough ROF to brawl if necessary, but you can shoot someone and duck back into cover if needed. I refer to 57mm equipped KV-1 with a rammer as the Poor Man's Church III. It's really funny and a mindfuck to your opponents in many games. But of course it is useless if you are bottom tier. Try to explain to many a goon you're doing it because it's funny and they just babble you shouldn't and numbers. rip internet comedy forum Cardiac posted:Doesn't it say in the OP to do the KV1 to IS3 line first? Yeah, but reading is hard and it actually can be a good idea to check after every big patch cause that stuff can shift. Not that line though. That line will always be people's stronk mlg line of the great Mother Russia.  Edit: 22 Eargesplitten posted:How much does a T10 get discounted by in the On Track event? I'm thinking about playing nothing but premiums for a few weeks in case I decide to buy the 50B. Check the main WoT site for discount news. I think details drop on the 3rd for the On Track event. And gold does get fairly regular bonus deals. Generally it will be that you get extra for using certain payment methods. It cycles which one and shows up every two or three weeks. It will be things like paypal, amazon payments, sprint bullshit bux, and such. Generally unless there is a tank you want and can't get any other way always just buy gold, and always do some simple math to check bang for your buck unless you got oil money/lawyer cash or whatever and don't need to care.

Nordick posted:On a completely arbitrary gut estimate I'd say 20% of my gold firing instances is because I actually need to. The remaining 80% is half "lol can't be arsed" and half pure spite. I'm the opposite ratio gold ammo use wise. As much as I joke, I'm actually pretty judicious about when I fling gold for comedy. But flinging gold for comedy is totally worth it.

Played a round since I woke up way before I needed to. Already got hate for using the E-75 like a German heavy when top tier. Not my fault your team couldn't spot or come after me. I agree, though, it is my fault that I didn't rush the enemy front line to get all guns trained on me. God drat, having 10% snap shot on this tanks make a legitimately noticeable difference. (Combined with full situational awareness, full recon, and coated optics of course.)WoT posted:

Yeah, you can get a re-invite from another tanker and a bonus to platoon xp with them, and they get free poo poo from you playing. It's a good time.
