Since I was busy carrying the match I messaged him afterwards to ask why he was stat-shaming me with much worse stats. The conversation was weird: Why weren't you firing gold? More importantly, why didn't you claim to be firing 100% gold?

OSad posted:To be honest, I wanted to go back to PZMOE for a bit and the "news" was a nice scapegoat. That was the clan I was in since beta and every once in a while, I like to drop by for a rain check and hang out with some of the cool dudes in there. I don't really *have* to be in PZMOE, since we all share the same mumble, but being in the clan gives me access to the clan chat, which is nice since not everyone in the clan uses mumble during peak time. Welp I guess it's time to join PZMOE and destroy it from the inside.

Ensign Expendable posted:Win rate is luck donchaknow, we're all coinflippers. My coins are all weighted. Unfortunately, the weight is all my worthless teammates, and these coins are so heavy that I don't even want to flip them. In fact I'm waiting for the individual missions or the winter funtimes mode, whichever comes first. If anyone wants my coins you can have them. Don't be surprised when they teamkill you just to prevent you from winning.

Cardiac posted:I have seen the expression "CHAI sniping" mentioned around here, anyone that can elaborate what it is? Do you want to win? Probably. If you don't care about winning, you can sit on the red-line and snipe. You'll get above average damage-per-match, and will lose a lot of games simply due to the enemy team not running into your gun one at a time. Also it's not fun and should be shamed when identified. e: I should note that CHAI members frequently do this kind of shitheaded damage farming, earning that particular moniker.

Saint Celestine posted:Should add: Don't do this. Weren't you in CHAI? Was it publicly encouraged to do poo poo like that, or did it just so happen that a bunch of CHAI snipers happened to join CHAI and give them the reputation? Addendum: CHAI sniping will give you pretty decent but not insane WN8 values. You won't be getting 4k average WN8 simply due to in some matches your team carries your worthless rear end and you get nothing. Usually you'll get 2k-2.8k, and have a winrate that is well under expectations. 2400 wn8 and a 55% winrate, camping the northeast redline on Ruinberg? Yeah that's kind of expected.

JuffoWup posted:god drat is the arty missions easy as poo poo for me. I'm up to 5 so far. And I haven't even been trying. Most of those have been with the bat 155 58. However, the sharpshooter one had me decide to take the 261 for a spin. Yup, people being all aggressive and stupid for their personal missions and just hanging out in the open for me to blap. The first mission was the hardest arti mission. Took me 6 tries because it was three losses, and two games where the enemy died so loving fast I couldn't get 1k damage. The worst goddamn players are on right now. These missions are the worst thing. I can't even blame them, gently caress your team finish your missions.

Carried my team kicking and screaming to a win. Our FV304 and ELC were stupid enough to talk back to me - the FV304 said I'd waste my tank going to B8. The ELC wanted me to stop typing. gently caress them all. I thought I hit pubbie gold, but it petered out at the end there. He may have noticed he was slightly outclassed and ran away with his tail between his legs. Notice how he tried to claim it was the Type 64 that tried to tell me to stop typing? Yeah gently caress pubbies I'll do it all myself. Though the E-25 did thank me for the win so at least somebody is thankful for me forcing them to win.

-Troika- posted:Last time I played pretty much all the UK TDs sucked until you got the 183. The 183 is the worst tier 10 by a mile now. Slow as an E100, only 230 pen on the HESH, and still laughably inaccurate with unreliable armor. Also the playerbase is vastly worse than it has ever been due to the missions. Fortunately you have missions yourself so you can throw your shithead team under the bus to get your fancy tanks.

Tracula posted:So, what, a +1/-1 tier spread is a good idea now? I remember people bringing that up in the past as an idea and basically getting ganged up and told to git gud and that you should carry literally every game even if you're two tiers down. The only arguments against it are from historical nerds since M4s and Tigers real life whatever, and from people who think +2/-2 matchmaking makes wargaming more money.

McGavin posted:Check my post on the first page of this thread. Killshots are the way to go for low tier aces. You can't put out enough damage due to the HP pool to match the 50-100 xp or whatever per kill. Spotting damage can come close though. Dalael posted:Oh... That has got to suck then. Especially considering after reaching 100, there are still about 10 seconds or more before the game ends. After a game is won, there are 5 seconds. If any tank dies, that 5 seconds starts again. You can use this to win after the enemy capped if you get lucky enough.
