Wasn't there some pastebin (I think from Hellsau?) that listed all the premium tanks and which were and were not worth buying?

That should be in the OP.

Played a match on Fjords from the north in my IS-2. Pushed around the corner and wiped out what was left of the south team's heavies, and was heading through the town by the water to mop up when I was shot by a Dicker Max from arty island. I laughed in chat at the camping shitlord who didn't fire a shot until the game was decided, and apparently I touched a nerve, since I got the following tear-stained missive via the official forums-

The problem is they only reward the top 20% of teams or whatever. The majority of people here (myself included) are too big of shitters to come close to winning anything.

Also the top reward is like $0.75.

It's better than camo on a heavy or firefighting, but it should be your third or fourth crew skill.

It seems nice enough on arty, though - my FV304 crew has BIA to push the reload time as low as possible.

I can see BIA being a higher pick on arty, simply because you're almost always hosed if camo or repair come into play.

These missions are going to make you all frustrated as hell if you actively try to do them. I'm just going to activate them all and let them slowly tick away as I play normally.

I won't see the tanks anytime soon and I may never finish, but god drat this game does not need yet another source of frustration.

I thought you have to activate each mission individually. Can you really do them all at once?

There were 5 chains available this morning - I was able to activate the first mission in each chain, but wasn't able to activate the later missions. Of course there's a decent chance that even this was a glitch and you're only supposed to have one chain active at a time.

The game is 1000% less frustrating if you turn off win percentage/wn8 and turn off chat when you're not trolling. Playing tanks as a single player game with an interesting but really goofy AI solves a whole lot of frustration problems.

This is called being wildly retarded/gassing yourself with xyklon b, not a guideline to having fun. I'm not referring to chat being off, specifically about not using xvm.

Also, AI is a hell of a lot smarter than the average pubbie just based on consistency. Even a bot at 41% isn't necessarily going to shoot it's teammates.

The thing that always pissed me off was shitter platoons. Glancing at the wn8's and individual win rates and realizing that your top 3 heavies are all 41% and in a platoon together was the absolute worst way to start a match. Then of course you'd notice them dying right away, and that flank melting down, and oh god damnit I loving hate this stupid game.

But now, with wn8 off? The match just starts, a flank melts fast, and you die. You end up in the same place, sure, but it's more peaceful. Serene, even.

They maybe still trying to juggle these sub classes of ships around. It will be interesting to see what they do with Germany, Since after the early years of WWII, its navy just seemed to be swimming with U boats...which wont be in the game, and that they never had an aircraft carrier presence

They'll do the same thing they do in World of Tanks - half the poo poo will be somewhere between partially built (we made the turret for it!) and napkin design (von Braun sneezed into this napkin and I think it looks like a Rocket Cruiser!)

Autoaim is garbage unless the stars align just right. Ping too high, ping too low, slow turret, strange terrain, certain tanks like the Cruiser 2 - all of these things can make autoaim worse than useless. It isn't great to miss under twenty meters on stationary targets.

Of course sometimes you just speed around at 400 meters and pen ten in a row and that feels nice.

I use auto aim on my church 3. Machine gunning idiots while driving at top speed owns bones.
