Prav posted:That should still be the case. They want to add a new set of tanks and missions every six months or so (wargaming time) and they never expire. That's good to hear. My schedule only allows me to play for a few hours a night, so sadly doing these missions will take me a long time  .

Due to my lack of patience I blew some gold to free XP all of the poo poo on the Tiger. Boy is this a strange tank. It has paper armor, is a giant and has a fantastic gun that just straight up DPM's the every loving poo poo out of what ever is at the end of the barrel. I've won a good portion of the games I've played in it mainly because it is fan-loving-tastic at carrying. I was not planning on keep this, but if it keeps up this murder spree I think it is going to be a ringer.Axetrain posted:On sand river enemy team decided to just drive up the middle. It predictably didn't work but it at least made things interesting.

Hellsau posted:+1/-1 matchmaking solves all these problems and makes the game more fun for everyone. I think +1/-1 would work great on super populated servers like the Russian, but I have this burning feeling that doing this will lead to higher que times for battles on the American servers. The average tier on the American server is 5.22 (wotlabs.net). That is also combining both of the American servers. But, I am no mathematician and certainly not a developer that knows the statistics with 100% confidence. Would this make battles more fun? Probably, but it will be at the cost time waiting for fights and fullness of games if MM wants to be lazy and do half full games for the lower populated tiers (I am sure most of us have seen this happen at least once before).

So I sold my T92 and bought an un-upgraded M53/55. I know I am using the stock gun, but my oh my I cannot hit anything in this tank. I know the top gun is made of cocaine and sex but this is going to be a rough grind.

Strobe posted:While on the subject: What's the point of getting the upgraded suspension on this thing? I can mount all the other modules with the stock one, and it doesn't give any extra traverse. Does it help with the bloom or something? I've had a beautiful run of snapshots on this thing that make me feel like whatever benefit they could give would be pretty negligible. It helps with traverse, I think they also have hidden stats like terrain resistance.

For the recent chat in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpndHtdl9A I discovered the secret to raising my stats after grinding the gun on the M53/55. Don't ever play arty. Also, the VK 7201 is actually really fun. If the E100 is a "better" version of this, I will be the happiest little tanker.

Cardiac posted:Is the AMX 13 90 actually good outside tier 8 strongholds? You highly underestimate what a tiny tank with a giant painful gun can do. I just uploaded a replay recently: Mesadoram posted:So it's been awhile since I've play the 13 90. So I decided to blow a gently caress load of credits, this was the result: I load only gold and use coffee because I am a try hard. You can easily play it with out gold, but you need to be much more careful where you shoot. It is a deadly tank when left alone, it's tiny size and speed allows it to be a real pain in the dick.

Abisteen posted:Wait wait. I just came back to the game and I have a 13 90 that is about halfway to the Lorraine. Does that mean I may not have to play that shitbox by the time I get to it? If you play it like a T9 50 100 and not a 13 90 you will do fine in it. With that being said, I loving hated it when it was tier 8 and as tier 9. I also hated the 50 100, so take that as you will.

The T9 and T10 look like really brutal tanks that have 0 armor. Just need to grind the XP in the 13 90 which as of late has been difficult due to pubbie retardation. 130k XP sound about right? quote:- accuracy buffed from 0,326 to 0,288

Un-needed 13 90 report: Still a blast, teams are loving terrible but after playing a few games in this tank I remembered why it is so fantastic. In one clip I killed 3 T9 arty (2 M53/55 and 1 Batchat Did they mention how/which crew members the AMX-30b is going to have? Might save my lady crew for it.

The Southern Dandy posted:Quit quoting work to me, don't you know that's my trigger! You're not my real dad .Overwined posted:I agree. It seems to put LESS shots at BOTH extremes, basically making it a little closer to a homogeneous distribution. I think this will benefit skilled players by reducing the holy poo poo lucky unaimed shots hitting a bullseye weakspot. It will also allow for some tanks to regain the strength of their armor formerly nullified by any stupid pubbie's ability to hit tiny weakspots. I think this change is definitely for the better. I am sure the pubbie  360noscopeyourmothersucksdicklawl shots will still happen, just not as much. Which I am ok with. I usually never take snap shots, so this change is probably not going to affect me too much.
