So is it just me or does the Tiger 1 literally get ammoracked every single shot it takes? I think I've gotten ammoracked like 6 times in 3 games. I loving quit

Going to have to say it's just you.

You need to be hanging back in the Tiger, use your accuracy and DPS to kill stuff who are busy with your team mates, then go in when everything is damaged and use your big HP pool to clean up.

As a GWE owner I eagerly look forward to not one-shotting tanks because ahahahaha that poo poo ain't even gonna land in the right grid square is it?

I do like the word "mortar" though. It implies good things about the arc.

I mistakenly loaded all AP in my 261 and was nailing fools full square every shot. I then realised my mistake, loaded gold HE and for the next 3 games couldn't hit anything unless I was shotgunning. :shrug:

Or you could just except that it's a lovely mechanic you personally don't like but then recognise it's a lovely mechanic in a game you still play. Yes there are times when you get shat on and curse the sky cancer, and then there's the other times you are about to be face raped by someone when BOOM they disappear in a fine mist and all is well with the world. My only gripe would be maybe hard cap at 3 per side.

I won't say it's perfect or enhances game-play, and if they removed it altogether I wouldn't be unhappy, but it's pretty livable as it is.

I have been going bat poo poo insane today trying to get my MT "kill 2 mediums" mission and LT "spot an SPG". Every game I take the MT out there are no more than 1 medium on the other team and when I take the LT out, you guessed it, no arty.

Anyone having any issues starting new personal missions? Finished one and now it tells me I have the max # of missions started (when I should have one per vehicle type). I suspect a new mod that is supposed to start available missions automatically, but I haven't been able to find the file that controls it yet so I can edit/disable it to see.

Yes there is a mod, I installed it in OMC, it's called Quest Extended 1.07, and yes, for some reason if you complete a mission it will default back to picking an improve mission rather than the next in line.

I know this as I completed the requirements for TD15 and never got credited for it as it had picked TD6 for me after completing TD14.

Maybe they shouldn't have added the 0.28 StuG aimtime snapshot Jesus it was when it was released.

I stopped played this tank for ages as I simply didn't find it fun, but I brought it out, along with the 183 b, for the missions and oh my word, it's one of the greatest troll tanks going if you give no fucks about doing anything other than clipping things.

The 183 b insta-blapping stuff also never gets old , people seriously get OUTRAGED when they get one shot or clipped.

Special mention also needs to go to the 216 and the CGC, coupled with the side view arty mod for also causing mass rage. I actually managed to put a AP shell through a window twice with the 216, into the front of a Centurion. The guy nearly had a meltdown. Also capping stuff. "NO CAP KILL ALL". Yeah, no, sunshine, I need my cap fast mission.

Missions are the best trolls and have made this game so much more fun for me.*

Never use free xp to unlock tanks, use it to unlock modules on new tanks so you never have to play a stock tank. The number of stock tanks that are not poo poo is low. This is very true for the ISU-152 as without the top gun BL-10 you are either throwing gold all the time in the 152mm gun or throwing gold all the tim in the 122mm guns that are good at teir 6 but are very bad when you face teir 10's.

The T20 is one of the better teir 7 mediums but teir 7 heavys, lights and TD's are much better than the mediums. The long 88 is ok at teir 8 if you a ready to feed it gold when needed so the grind isn't as bad as others and the tank itself is one of the better 8's

Take no notice of this idiot. Use free exp to get out of any tank that is not fun to play. gently caress, do doubles in platoons and never play any of the poo poo tanks at all ever.

It's sound mods. I did an upgrade of my OMC with no sound mods and it works fine now, before it was wonky as all hell, wouldn't even open up the game after I pressed play.

Of course not. I was just curious. I didn't even know EU players could play on the US server. But even if it was possible then I doubt that the latency would make it very enjoyable.

And 2PAC TS is peculiar to say the least.

I played on US servers for years, 120 ping normally but this is pretty much unnoticeable, don't let anyone try and tell you different, people bitching about 100+ ping being the cause of them being bad have other issues.

I only switched to EU as you find very few US players during your main play times, it becomes busier around 1am normally.
