moosecow333 posted:Now that I've got all the big stuff on my Tiger I, what modules do you guys suggest? Since it's a support/sniper tank, should I do something like, loader, telescope, camoflague? Camouflage on a heavy is kind of dumb, and the aim time is pretty bad from what I remember (3 second-ish). So just go with rammer, gun laying drive (since it can't get vertical stabiliser) and optics I guess.

Possibly the most annoying thing though? There's no button to lock your gun while driving, so if you don't want it swinging around retardedly you gotta hold RMB the whole time. Luckily there's a solution to this:

Dukket posted:Quick question If someone does damage to an enemy tank without spotting it himself, all spotters will get this bonus (so if two tanks spot a TOG which gets one shot by arty, both spotters get 700 assist damage, since the TOG has 1400 HP). Similar thing if you manage to track an enemy tank and the pubbies on your team manage to be bothered enough to click at it.

Why wouldn't you retrain them? You only drop 10% off your primary skill which is like 40k xp regardless of any skills acquired (assuming you started with 100% primary skill). Most of the skills are useful for all classes, so there's no real need to retrain them either.

NTRabbit posted:I tried driving artillery 5 times yesterday for the 500 and unspotted mission, and every single time almost my entire team went down one side of the map and an enemy light tank had a free and easy run down the other.  I was trying for this mission on the first day before I realised how many new and exciting ways to be dumb pubbies have found. So I got frustrated after a while and decided to test the mission text, drowned and lo - the mission was a success  Of course now this info is on For The Record, so expect a lot of spgs doing that!

kemikalkadet posted:Had something similar happen yesterday on Erlenberg assault where we were defending. Almost all of our team just followed the river and sat in the middle of the map for some reason, I was the only one to go to the west flank and two TDs sat in the A0 forest. I have no loving idea how but we still won it, between me whittling down 6-7 tanks to low hp after they took it in turns to peek out at me instead of just rushing me and killing me in a few seconds, they then went out one at a time to get destroyed by the TDs in A0. These missions create the weirdest games. I think I figured out your problem.

maev posted:Will my FV304 be good enough for all the arty missions? Also someone point me to a good light tank, I have literally none after 7k games :< It might have trouble damaging two tanks at once with one shell. I think a combo of Lefh/FV304 for all of the funky shots + one high tier arty (American probably) for the damage is all you need for all missions.

Tias posted:This game looks amazing, yet confusing. Should I just jump in, or is the learning curve steep? To chime in on other advice, once (if) you decide to try to get better than the average pubbie, you may want to download XVM (which among other things shows other players' stats ingame) and once you die, switch camera view to better players and see how they're playing, check good map positions (also check where they're going at the beginning of the map even before you die). Additionally once you do get better, you might find yourself looking at the worst players instead , staring in disbelief.

cheese posted:Really wish you could "start" multiple of these personal missions at a time. Trying to capture a base as a LT and when I get a map like Hidden Village, which has a 0% chance in ending in base capture, its frustrating that I can't do anything else. I actually did my HT base capture mission on Hidden Village. I felt dirty afterwards because I should have gone back to our base to click on more red tanks.  I think the capping missions are the most retarded ones though since very rarely doing that is both possible and a good idea.

I've spent like five games trying to get a counter battery shot for this stupid loving SPG mission and have yet to see literally a single tracer, despite generally spending the entire game staring at the usual places pubtillery goes.

 A nerve-wrecking, almost 15 minute game with some retarded bounces from the back of the turret and when at 100 hp. Last 5 minutes spent driving around trying to find the camping Object 263 who at that point was two shottable.

I'm dreading the LT15 mission for later tanks. What with most maps being made for tanks shooting at each others turrets at 100 meter range forever, no spotting needed. I think there's only around 5 maps where you can regularly do some heavy duty spotting without the enemy team being pants-on-head retarded.

Hellsau posted:Prok, Firey Salient, Malinovka, Lakeville with good teammates, Swamp if you're east spawn AND your team is good but cowardly AND the enemy is dumb...that's about it. Some maps you can get incidental assist damage from artillery or from particularly cowardly teammates, or by going somewhere useless and hoping both enemies and friendlies also go there, but not enough to get the several thousand required. Yea I was thinking those four and also Steppes, since a lot of times there are dumb pubbies sitting in base which you can spot from the rock in the middle.

I have absolutely no idea what that mission requires. I killed one arty by myself, damaged a second one but he ran away to survive the match (without anyone else shooting at it). I got killed and the mission was declared a success.
