Any opinions on it?

How much would you enjoy playing the T30 in constant tier X matchmaking?
Or heck, the E4 with a 360° turret but slightly longer time req'd to aim properly?

Sounds annoying :hmmno:

Just had my first 0-15 in a while, on Siegfried Line. Apparently only 3 of us had authorisation to leave the area of the base, everyone else just stayed right there. Why even bother to load into the game?

I've been playing A LOT the past few days and I've come to realize something. I enjoy this game when I don't play a lot of it. 5 games seems to be my limit. Anything after that, I start to get angry and toxic.

Same, somewhere between 5 - 10 works for me, unless I am on a winning streak or power-grinding some abhorrent shitbox to get rid of it ASAP. After that I'll throw in the towel after a loss.

Booze-tooning with some pals alleviates the frustration with the constant uphill battle of being teamed with incompetent morons (at least somewhat) , but even so, after 10 battles you absolutely NEED a positive winrate else everyone just gets horribly sour and the enjoyment collapses faster than the average team.

100%. It's one of the main reasons I rarely group with anyone. I like playing with Goons, but I don't like how I get when I play this game for a long time. So to get lovely and sour around people I like is not a great feeling for anyone involved :smith:.

I also feel like I start playing shitter as my mood deteriorates. I start to get more aggressive, make dumb pushes etc.

Unless you are playing the Grille. Then your shot will do whatever the gently caress it wants regardless.

0.26 accuracy my loving rear end :argh:

I stopped at the T9. I played a shiton of the Grille on the test server and decided "Naw, I am good."

The French t9 and T10 AMX heavy tanks are so loving good. I always keep coming back to them. drat shame the T8 is such dogshit.

I stopped at the T7 for the British wheelies. I feel like I made the correct choice.

Anything cool happening in tanks lately or am I good to not reinstall.

Not sure how long it's been but a quick rundown:

British Wheelies: Stop at T7, the rest feel like boats with no real advantage.

Italian TDs: Guns will make you want to rip your hair out, but T8+ are good. Heavy Tanks with a triangle and "auto loaders".

Polish TDs: I stopped at T8, the gimmick doesn't give you much flexibility (closer = more damage). Armor and guns are unreliable, small caliber means you won't overmatch anything.

Japanese heavies: Gimmick sucks just like the tanks.

Chinese rocket heavies: T9 is great, T10 is meh, T8 is like getting needles covered in battery acid stabbed into your hands every 13 seconds.

They added a totally broken T8 Chinese heavy to the game that sucks to fight against on any tier. The people who drive it are almost as soulless are arty players.

I am sure I am missing something but pretty much that.

Edit: Almost forgot, mediums with CSV is becoming meta. It kind of rocks actually.

Double Edit: Japanese TDs 7, 9 and 10 are fantastic and a ton of fun. Especially the T7 which is arguably the best T7 tank in the game.

I don't get this game's players. Today I had a T9 game on Karelia, we had the T9 Polish TD on our team. Being played by a 54% WR player, too, so you'd think he'd know what he was doing. Yet there he was, camping on the redline. And not in a "I'll hang back for a minute or two to see where the match is going" kinda way, but in a "I'm sitting in the last bush on the map until 80% of my team's dead and then start moving".

Why the gently caress would you play a Polish TD if you want to camp on the redline, instead of ... you know, literally ANY other TD line in the game?

:chloe:

I will never get players like that.

I ended up on the EU3 server today somehow, and holy poo poo this is ... something. The players are insanely aggro in that they want to brawl in every tank, in every match, all the time. Very few people fire gold, it's loving WILD.

That's what I've been saying! The turn radius is poo poo, but it's fast, can work a ridge line really well and can pop up where the enemies don't expect it for that big British medium damage. It's really good in Frontlines, too!

I am a sucker for tanks with good guns, and this one is quite snappy and accurate. Doesn't even need a vstab either.

I've been on a losing streak recently. It's super annoying :colbert:. It's either my team rushes in and dies in the first 3 minutes, which then turns into me trying to farm as much as I can till I die or our team decimates the enemies with a never ending rush and I struggle to get any damage in.

Not sure if it is the players, the meta or both that suck :smith:

Nothing but -2 with these loving dipshits makes me so happy.



The past few weeks my win rate went from a solid 60% to whatever the gently caress it is now. I've given up on caring about that and just try to do my best during the games. Feels like the player base is just getting worse somehow. Every game is filled with top tiers that do gently caress all but suicide in.

AE is an amazing tank. If you shoot pure gold out of it you easily can rack up 3k+ games.

I am saving my tokens for the next pass. That American TD looks interesting, so I am curious if it will be worth it. Worse comes to worse I just buy equipment and maybe the Kunze.

Edit: A game I had in the AE a year ago, it shows off the strengths pretty well IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_FtdCVB0oQ
