Your only alternatives are to make an alt and do it yourself, or arrange a gentleman's agreement with someone else who wants one. I have a buddy who did the former, he said it took him about a week (!) to get a tier 10. He said he wasn't trying to win, he was essentially quixperiencing it. I still find that hard to believe, but I don't think he was lying to me.  I've been trying to find someone to recruit but with no luck so far. I've offered to carry the new recruit, do a reciprocal thing, pay someone to just do it, etc. PM me if you want to work something out.

IF you did not buy that, you made a horrible choice. I just watched this replay, and it was one of the most entertaining things I've seen in my entire time playing this game. The  was great, and deserved, but the coup de grâce of that SU-26 was magnifique!  You are my hero, Hellsau, and I would literally suck ur dick irl if given the opportunity!

McGavin posted:Sturer Emil: Top gun or stock gun with gold? I grinded the 128 with the 105. The 105 is definitely a usable gun for that tier, but the 128 is what you'll ultimately want (because otherwise you're driving a tier 7 Dicker Max.) As CitizenKain mentioned, though, you will definitely need to be careful with your shots, because every miss will hurt. You won't be able to risk cupola shots, or snap shots, or anything other than a sure hit once you mount the 128. I never actually ran out of shells with it, but I held a lot more shots than I would've with the 105. You'll eventually want to get that gun though, I would just say you could stand grinding it out rather than free-XPing it. Lord of Garbagemen posted:

As far as the 11AD guys go, I'm sure I've played a thousand games with them but never noticed, because I group all those military/vet clans together. They're almost universally terrible at this game, embarrassingly, although these guys are just unimpressively slightly above average.

I could be very very lucky with mm tonight. but that just does not sit right in WoT. I'm pretty sure the MM is skewed due to the missions. There are probably a lot more people playing tiers 5-8 (since there are "kill higher-tier tank" requirements) so you're getting more favorable MM. Conversely, there are basically no sealclubbers in tiers 1-5, so it's been a lot of fun stomping shitters in those tiers. In particular, I finished the grinds on both the Sherman 3 and the Archer. The Sherm is loving gone now, and I don't miss it; I'm keeping the Archer because it's loving awesome. Any of you guys who were whining about it need to get gud.

I couldn't continue to play and have to carry match after match, I was just too burnt out. We ended the session with these stats:  And this was how the Archer grind ended up:  So is there a consensus, Achilles or Firefly to the Challenger?

Thanks for the Achilles/Firefly input, although we clearly haven't reached a consensus on which is preferred! I'm going to get both anyway when they're on sale (just because I can, both are already unlocked as I said yesterday) so I guess I'll try them and see which I prefer, but obviously it would be counter-productive to grind them simultaneously as they lead to the same tank. Maybe if only one goes on sale first I'll just grind that. Oh yeah, did anyone watch my Archer replay on South Coast (or whatever the "Crimea" map is supposed to be)? I wanted to point out that not only did I predict where that T67 was going ahead of time (I pinged the map) because that's where I would've driven mine, I also called (to saintonan, over TS) that he was out of ammo as you can see from the replay. I didn't get to ~83% in the T67 by not knowing how to preserve its ammo! Aramoro posted:The Archer owns, you make it not suck by playing better. I don't have the top gun for it yet and you can still carry flanks or whole matches in it with it's fairly low profile and decent guns. The fast reverse is actually pretty handy for getting out of trouble. This guy gets it! It really is OP because of that gun, and the camo helps! The lack of armor and mobility don't really come into play if you know what you're doing. Agrajag posted:Is there even a way for them for detect mods like warpack or whatever? srb posted:I've heard that the client basically sends a log of what you have in your res_mods folder when you log in, but since it's WG it wouldn't surprise me if it should but isn't. Demon/Tosh reported the latter, but it would be nice to get some sort of confirmation/explanation. Hellsau posted:The T-34-85 is one tanks that get rewarded greatly for carrying HE and don't get punished since it carries a lot of ammo and not having a terribly long reload. Going from 180 damage to 300 is a massive increase. I've been meaning to ask you, why do you carry 5 HE rounds in the Comet? 76 mm HE shells do pitiful damage beyond like tier 3, and the Comet can pretty easily run out of ammo. You're the last person I'd expect to have any HE rounds in the Comet of all things. WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Any of the goon groups in the OP still active?

I think I'm free pretty much every night. Alternately, does anybody ...not so good want to just troll around in OP platoons and just murder the gently caress out of pubbies with Churchill IIIs, B2s, KVs of any description, or anything else? I really just want to avoid grinding for about a week because it's been horrific.

Uranium 235 posted:What's the most broken tier 6 in the game? I need one for pubstomping platoons. The correct answer is "FV304." The Hellcat is still playable, even though they nerfed its mobility (a.k.a. the only thing that was realistic about that tank.) The Jackson is a decent alternative. Anything with the US 90 mm gun is above average, including the M6 as others have mentioned. The T-34-85 is a solid medium, and the A-43 and especially the VK3001D trade the big gun for more gofast. (The old VK3001H was amazing.  )Nashorn, SU-100 & SU-100Y are OP TDs. The KV-2 is one of the most absurd vehicles in the game, particularly at tier 6. Note that if you do skirmishes (tier 6 max) then options open up, such as scouts (the T37 is great.) warcrimes posted:Take some solace in the fact that the Tiger is the absolutely worst stock grind in the game. The Tiger 2 and e75 are much better stock grinds. I have faint memories of my terrible time playing the stock Tiger H, but that was long ago when I was new to the game. There are worse stock grinds though; the IS for example (120 mm of penetration!) at tier 7. The worst might be the ARL V39, though, which starts with a tier 3 gun at tier 6. (The IS-4 isn't that big a deal anymore since it gets the top gun from the ST-D.) James Garfield posted:The stock Chi-Ri is not remarkably bad, and with upgraded engine/tracks and stock turret it isn't slow. I think I did that order and waited to upgrade the turret until I had the autoloader. Partially correct: the stock and elite Chi-Ris are both remarkably bad.

It'd be easy to buff the RoF/DPM on something like the Valentine, which otherwise has a decent gun and armor. For other tanks, it would be more difficult to do if buffing them required making it less historically accurate, like adding a gun or finding a "new" higher-pen shell. The 13 75, for example: they'd have to over-buff pretty much everything about it, OR add a "new" gun between the 75 & 90 mm ones. AMX M4 45: add more armor?

Philosopher King posted:So does the refer a friend thing still work or are there some sort of bullshit restrictions? It still works, but there are restrictions on who can recruit and who can be recruited. You have to have played during a certain time to recruit, and 2Tanked found out the hard way that taking a break precluded him from being able to recruit his buddy. As far as being recruited is concerned, you either have to be inactive for the past 60 days, or need to sign up for a new account (with a new e-mail address.) If you're interested in being recruited, let me know; I still don't have an active recruit, and I'm offering benefits (i.e. codes & rewards.) PM me for details. (Or I'll try PMing you.)

Friday was apparently Failplatoon Day, as my platoonmates can concur. Pretty much every game had wildly mismatched platoons, like a regular + pref + scout of the same tier, or a tier 4 arty + tier 5 premium + tier 6 scout (hooray for tier 4 arty in a tier 8 match!) Unrelated to the above, which gun do you prefer on the T1 Cunningham? It's a tank that I basically hadn't touched in over 3 years, and ironically I don't really know how to play it now any better than I did when I first started. When I dusted it off the other day I found that the 37 mm Browning, which appears to be the best choice, has abysmal handling & aim time. The 20 mm on the other hand shreds pubbies. Am I doing it wrong?

I got a new invite card/code thing with some merch a few months ago, and it turns out it's apparently only for EU and not NA like it clearly says. Nice job, Wargaming! And Wargaming support is being their typically useless selves regarding the issue, although I am awaiting their next response. Consequently, I may end up posting the code in the EU thread when this is all sorted out. Prav posted:I'm retarded so I put WOT to autostart so I don't forget. I'm sure this won't drive me crazy over the next month and a half. What do you mean, you have it load when you boot Windows? I set a daily reminder in my calendar. CitizenKain posted:I'm starting to kinda have fun in the Awful Panther, what is going on. As a scout tank its objectively pretty terrible, its huge, has large flat sides and limited camo. As a harassing light tank though, its pretty good. I just wish I had 6th sense on it, but its a been a good opportunity to be more cautious. I actually had a great game in the SomethingawfulPanther the last time I played it. It was on Himmelsdorf of all maps, tier 10 match, and I think I got top XP and survived. It may have been an Ace game as well; I'll dig up the replay and share it. Nordick posted:I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there's currently a bug with HE ammo, where if they hit tracks or spaced armor they can glitch out and kill the whole crew. Wow, really? BRB, loading all my tanks with 100% HE. Nordick posted:A caveat for new people though: The Pz I C is a very polarized tank, in that it will absolutely shred the poo poo out of things on its own tier, but will be completely impotent against many things above that because of it's low pen. But get one anyway, because at its best it's ridiculous fun. This is why when we do a Pz1C platoon I bring something with good pen, like the Chi-Ha. Consequently, this is why I have an 85% winrate in my Chi-Ha. BadLlama posted:I can't achieve climax unless I dump the whole clip all at once and that is what is important.

Agrajag posted:WoT has the most racist and bigoted community I have ever come across in a game. I blame the retard community managers in WGNA. The confederate is particularly galling seeing as one of our iterations of a goon clan was forced to rename because we were glorifying LGBTA stuff or something along those lines. To be fair, PANSY was originally "ISLAM: Muslims for Marriage Equality." But yeah, apparently an image of Our President and Glorious Caliph Barack HUSSEIN Obama is offensive, but racist Confederate flags and Nazi references are not. Uranium 235 posted:The engines were too much for me--they were too loud and overbearing. I love the gun sounds though. Yeah, the engine and turret sounds are way overdone.

guidoanselmi posted:more of a PANSY question, but sometimes people ask about PANSY and I respond that it's a clan of 'people who are gay or gay for obama.' hope thats ok? Real answer: PANSY is the casual goon clan that is dedicated to trolling pubbies. Public answer: PANSY is the Pan-Aryan National Socialist Youth clan, WoT's premiere LGBTQ clan, and is dedicated to the worship of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, our Glorious Muslim Leader, Saviour, and Caliph of the Islamic State In America (ISIA).  If people aren't taking the bait, you're not trying hard enough. Remember, I pay out gold when you get pubbies to complain about you to me.  Bonus: occasionally when platooning with me you'll see me piss off the shitters and then try to get them to "report me to my commander." That's me.  (Regarding ISLAM, I believe it only existed for like a day before our Dear[ly departed] Leader, Wargames, got temp-banned and had to change it to PANSY. I joined a few weeks after that.)

Well to be fair, Belarus is more closely allied with Russia than Ukraine, but he seems to be claiming in your screenshot that he was "trolling" people by making that claim. He's not exactly great at trolling (kind of like how he's not exactly great at Tanks in general or the VK2801 in specific!) Steelion posted:In other news, just bought the 50 120 today. Wow, the 50 120 was fast as gently caress for me. You will outrun some medium tanks (e.g. Cent 7) and it goes 70 downhill. (RIP whatever's at the bottom of that hill! ) Even stock, your mobility doesn't really change how you play it. The 100 is workable, but the 120 is pretty fantastic. There are far worse gun grinds, but I don't regret free XPing part of the 120, which I only did because the 100 was a little boring by that point, and I had/have a ton of free xp.Nessus posted:Hurray!

I don't know if we are actually doing strongholds atm. I keep saying this: we do skirmishes any time someone starts a detachment. There are usually enough dudes for a tier 6, which is about our level of ability anyway. Someone just has to go through the trouble of clicking like 2-3 times to get it started and send out invites. Steelion posted:We haven't done strongholds in ages, afaik, mostly just because nobody's on anymore. I think I saw like 8 people on last night, tops. I hosted some about 2-3 weeks ago. We won the first few at tier 8 and then lost like the last 6 in a row. The ranks do have different permissions, except some of them are duplicates and thus basically exist to help sort your members. The XOs are active leaders (i.e. go to them for any issue you'd come to me for) & Recruiters obviously do their thing. Recruits are just brand-new members that I reassign once I recognize that they're active, and I use the Reservist category for inactive players that may be booted the next time I need to free up space. The rest of the categories are literally for all the rest of the regular members, and are functionally equivalent. I originally assigned them based on how active the players were, or how familiar I was with them; there are quite a few players in PANSY who are very active yet I've never played with or spoken to them for some reason (because they don't platoon or use TS) so they're not "ranked" very high, except again, the categories are being used for sorting rather than ranking. I actually have to go in and reassign permissions, which I'll do in the near future to free up some more slots. I already did some rearranging to add more Recruiters. Basically, I look for active, responsible members for XO positions, experienced members for Recruiters, and then I just want to limit access to the treasury (which I exclusively use for rewarding members who are hilarious.) texasmed posted:I'd like an invite to the squad if you'll take a bad and sparingly active player. http://worldoftanks.com/community/accounts/1013323516-texasmed/ Invite sent, login to your account at the link you provided to accept it. TracerM17 posted:I'm bad at light tanks, but I do enjoy them. I notice most of the high level game play with them is sitting in the middle to back of the map waiting until the end when they can clean up a bunch of 10% heavies and unprotected arties. Walker Bulldogs seem to be the king of this tactic. That's not a bad assessment. Basically, you need to stay alive in any tank if you want to deal damage and win games. Scouts generally have good camo, so you can either active or passive scout for your team while preserving your own HP, then clean up at the end (the last two parts being important for most other tank types as well.)

Mesarthim, invite sent. Login at worldoftanks.com to accept.Missing Name posted:How did everyone get past the Caerny without loving killing themselves? Did you freexp that poo poo? It's ok. I had a rough time just getting wins regardless of how I played, but it kind of works. The gun is decent even if it lacks alpha, and it has the depression to go hull-down. The hull can bounce, and so can the turret. It's just a different playstyle, more of a heavy medium than a true heavy. That RoF and extra mobility can help you do certain things compared to a slower, heavier tank. I got a Kolobanov's in mine, for what that's worth. MREBoy posted:I have a question about this daily log in mission get free stuff thing. The game says I'm on day 19 right now, as I apparently managed to miss the first 2 days. If my day counting is correct, I'll get the SU-100Y if I don't miss any more days, and get it on Friday 4/8. My confusion is because the worldoftanks.com page about this event literally says this ends on Friday May I'm sure the latter date is correct; some brilliant individual in charge of the WGNA portal changed the date and not the day of the week. The in-game value should be correct.

Hellsau posted:e: Primelaw I need advice - is the Challenger playable, or is it Primelaw-"playable"? I don't have the Challenger, but I grinded out the 3001P, albeit a long time ago (when the 3001H was tier 6 ). It's fast in a straight line, but sluggish to maneuver and accelerate. Your gun choices are the 75/70 and the 88/56. It's kinda big, with mediocre armor, but aside from that it strikes me as being more similar to the Hellcat now, post-nerf. It's certainly playable, but more like a quick TD and less like a medium because of the lack of maneuverability.

What's going on with Guerrillas? I mean there might be something happening with the CW clans in general, but I noticed that Sela's in BULBA now and plays CS:GO for some reason, and then I noticed that -G- is down like 20 players.

BIG HEADLINE posted:
Where can I find the tool you used there? I've always been interested in player/clan migration stuff in general. A month or so ago, I was in a random battle with Xpedience (lol) and a platoon from ESPRT on the opposite team. The latter was trying to recruit the former, and mentioned that a lot of the ex-FORGE guys from -G- had left to form ESPRT, so I figured that was part of the migration. I recognize quite a few of those names in your screenshots from FORGE/ANVIL, and others (e.g. Naga, Friction) are doing the 1337 Pr0 G4m1ng thing, so it wouldn't surprise me if they dropped due to lack of time for the less-"srs bsns" stuff. So I guess this means OTTER and BULBA are bulking up? And what's the deal with PINGU? I think I saw Hellsau in them the other day, but not anymore. I guess that means he's going to have another story to tell us! saintonan posted:It's never just one thing. G kicked a bunch of people for inactivity, then started recruiting people to fill those slots. Since this is a dying game and G's reputation has been taken down a notch recently with other rival clans getting better, G was faced with either not recruiting or setting the bar for admission lower. They chose the latter, and that reinforced the idea that the G tag might not be the Internet tank nerd status symbol it used to be. That led a couple of high profile streamers to reassess their reason to be in the clan, and decide to leave. G has always had a significant number of antisocial spergs like you find in elite guilds of any online computer game, and for some the current unrest is a decent reason to cut ties with people they don't really like. So... they couldn't figure out that you only kick inactives when you have a replacement lined up? Like, for the purposes of holding chips, inactives are still valuable. I mean, this is how I handle clan management and we don't even do CW. I actually learned the value of this a couple years ago, before ever leading a clan! Saint Celestine posted:Mostly apathy. Was it always like that in -G-? I was under the impression that you guys did at least some practicing, rather than pulling a SGLE thing and not practicing at all, running the same strat over and over until it gets cracked. BIG HEADLINE posted:I killed tanks. Everything started to fall apart as soon as Gyarados kicked 30+ PBKAC 'inactives'* (including myself) to make room for BADGR refugees. What happened with BADGR? I thought they were one of the better PETCO sub-clans, why were they dying instead of like BIRDY or whatever? (And gently caress Reddit now and forever, seriously.) BIG HEADLINE posted:The hosed thing? Even after Gyarados' little kitty pogrom, for 2+ months afterwards, every night at ~7pm I was checking PBKAC's battle schedule. I couldn't even see the chips anymore, but when you play something like this for as long as you and I have, some things just get ingrained. I'd like to get in on the AW goon clan when it's a thing. Hopefully there won't be clan member limits like in WoT so we don't have to split up the community.

BIG HEADLINE posted:ESPRT landed to the north of PBKAC and started butchering PUPEH (no longer a PETCO sub-clan since Alphyn is gone) and BUNEH (who held Vermont and New Hampshire for offset stacks and because no one else wanted it). We (since I was still in the clan at that point) tried to fight off ESPRT like a good parent clan and proceeded to get our poo poo pushed in night after night, up to and including losing NYC to them a few times. I - not to put much weight on it - got tired of hearing the same poo poo being said night after night, so I 'pulled a SirMolle' (EVE Goons will know what this means) yet still checked up on how things were going. Are you saying that PBKAC is...a paper tiger? (Sorry, sorry, I'll go kill myself now.) I will say that I'm still surprised that Gyarados kicked all those members (and looking at the list, there sure are a lot of goons on it.) Is Ziddy really out of the picture? On the other hand, I can totally understand a lot of the kicked players being inactive simply due to being burnt out at this game. They've been around for a long time, and the only reason I'm not burnt out is because I only get the chance to play (anything) a couple days a week. Can't really get myself burnt out when any kind of gaming is a welcome break from a lovely job.  Beyond that, PANSY is open to active goons who just want to hang out and shoot tanks casually. PANSY is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people here. In PANSY you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the PANSY motto, for example, that's how laid back it is here. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends. The Unlife Aquatic posted:But it says in their thread they only want players with endgame tanks? Eh, that thread's OP is out-of-date. You can see the last time it was updated was in July. I'll ask French to edit it the next time I see him. But yeah, PANSY is the casual goon clan, there are no tank requirements. We just need your IGN.

Couple of thoughts: When does a new player get stats that appear via XVM? Is it based on a number of battles or minimum time since account creation? I'm asking for a friend....  The VK3001H is hot garbage. Imagine a medium tank, but remove its nice gun and usable top speed. Now let it take tons of module/crew damage through its paper armor. Voila! You have the VK3001H!
