Pft. 2k WN8. gently caress stats, cause I have to do 3500-4000 every single game just to hold steady.

To all the people who don't think the Lorraine is that bad.

Why don't you play one for a while and get back to us.

I know that when I'm in my E-100 and I see a Lorraine, its a priority target for a 150mm sized hug.

Take a break between switching between World of Tanks and World of Warships.

I finished playing my Fuso and loaded up my E100, and.... led a tank by a good 4 tank lengths while realizing I didn't need to do that.

Mostly apathy.

People got discouraged when we lost a few clan war battles, but what do you expect when you go over strats 10 minutes before the battle, and the other team has practiced it multiple times.

For me, I don't care. I don't want to put effort into this game. Last thing I want to do in this game, or any clan, is to treat it like EVE or WoW, where it almost becomes a part time job.

^ properly played, yes. Also will consume credits like a fat man at a free buffet.

Be careful with the IS7 right now though, with the prevalence of T10 tds, unless you're hull down, they can and will shoot straight through your front no matter how you're angled.

You have one of the lowest HP pools for a T10 heavy, in what used to be a "bouncy" tank, but no longer, due to power creep.

Why would you voluntarily play a tier ten tank while handicapping yourself? If you're firing AP from the 150mm, just use the 128mm instead.

Yeah. Definitely use the 128mm on the e100. This is a good idea.

When I see an 128mm E100 when Im in my E100, its time to bully the gently caress out of him.

About half way to the E75, if the E100 is anywhere close to as much fun as the Failowe I know I will love it.

If you play it properly, E100 is ridiculous. Nothing like bitch-slapping people for 750 and bouncing everything in return. HEAT will go through E100 turret faces, JPZ casemates, anything that you will face frontally. I think i have the best E100 on the NA server too, thats how much I love that giant fascist rolling box.

I dunno I just use the Pogs tank contours mod so the tank names are displayed separately from XVM.

It gives a shitload of information about each tank. It's handy if you play a tier you aren't used to playing and you go up against a tank you rarely see, and you want to know whether you can pen it frontally or not.

I just use silhouettes.

Real men know everything about the tank from the side profile and nothing else.

China server is its own thing, and apparently a dystopian pay2win world where everything costs money. Also, gold Type 59s.

The mid tier brit heavies actually have bad dpm, that's the real problem with them.

The 9 and 10 shoot a 120mm gun really loving fast. If you just go wherever your team goes, you can really rack up damage by using pubbies as a distraction. The same principle applies for medium with dpm.

In what loving world is like almost a 10 second reload "really really fast"?
