One thing I miss when never playing this game again, is how every video is narrated by an alien trying to imitate an american accent

Isn't that a mechanical voice?

I have no clue because they use real voiceover artists in other videos and I dont understand why they would go through the effort of trying to make a robo voice sound almost normal

Ugh. You guys still playing Frontlines?

I can only tolerate this game in 10 minute bites and then I go kicking and ranting around my house for half an hour. Then I come back and play another match.

Same here but the kicking and ranting has been happening for uhhh three years

Its the best gun actually. It has higher potential dps and never does a bounce

Fondly remembering the matches where I would run a howitzer patton and loudly proclaim the high dps and reliability of the best tank/gun combo in the game while low-t scrubs would incorrectly tell me how it was poo poo

The early matchmaking tiers were 1-2, 3-10 which was incredibly dumb but funny before tier 10s started to become commonplace. There was no finer act than boxing in a maus with 3 tier 3 tanks.

I almost never got shot by arty in the BP even at the height of xvm usage. My secret technique was never getting to the fights in time. Still had a great win rate

I used to see counter artillery fire used to be a LOT more common back like 6-7 years ago before I took a long break. It basically never happens to me now. I rarely play arty but I haven't been counter fired by arty once since I started playing again, I don't even bother relocating after firing any more.

Counter-battery disappeared almost immediately after the tracer nerf because it became nearly impossible while arty was still relocating and firing from non-obvious positions to avoid getting blasted. The playerbase never bothered to relearn it after arty got complacent, probably because even then its still a waste of time vs ruining some poor heavys day.

I only play T10 arty but counter battery is still pretty common there. What was the tracer nerf? I took a 5 year break from the game and came back just under a year ago but it still seems as easy as it used to be.

Tracers used to appear for everyone regardless of where they were looking, so anytime you heard an arty splash, you could quickly scan around the area to see where it came from. People got so paranoid that they would actually sit outside the bushes to fire just to throw the counter battery off enough to relocate safely.

It got nerfed because modders figured out how to make tracers decay incredibly slowly and basically pinpoint the edge of the gun barrel (including tanks/TDs), which made maps like Komarin even more of a joy to play

I somehow ended up in the old beta thread and got to relive my auspicious starting experience

Control Volume posted:

I must have the most horrible luck with my T-34 in this game. In the space of about 4 games, I have been one-shotted by another medium (VK3001 I think), outgunned by an A-20, and, when trying to take out a Leopard that hit one of those stupid ledges in Malinovka, hit him four times for around 2%-3% damage each with HE rounds, and still didn't manage to take out his tracks. This is on top of the numerous misses I've had when nothing but enemy tank filled the firing cone (no hit indicator at all, not even a ricochet). I swear my gunner is a pacifist or something.

Anyone else remembers, back in old days, games with five tanks per team and rest was all artillery? That was fun.

Remember when the S-51 was an orbital laser, and the SU-26 could solo the enemy team?
