Hellsau posted:Uh, that's not going to succeed. The reason good players hate pubbie scum is because pubbies do not want to improve. Seriously, just go into a Stronghold battle and explain to them why their strategy failed. Be courteous and polite. The pubbies will just call you f-words and n-words and refuse to accept your help. If you do it right being polite makes pubbies a lot angrier than insulting them does. It's a win-win.

rossmum posted:If I was to pick a T10 TD to pubstomp with it would be the 263 or 268 [...] a better version of the same concept exists (the T30).  If you're going to complain about the E3 being less effective at tier than the T30, the 268 is an awful counterexample. It is the poster child for being worse than the tier 9. NTRabbit posted:Well that's totally absurd, what if it's either shoot HEAT at the side of an IS-3/7 or lose your artillery to it and potentially the game? That's ok, I'm holding my shot waiting for a better opportunity. How do you manage to be wrong about so many unrelated things, NTRabbit?

mmkay posted: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. You could probably accomplish that with an FV304 by sync queuing on NA West. edit: holy poo poo  is this boats alpha survey

Strobe posted:There's not anything bad. There are some ships that might count as "bad". One of the tier 2 cruisers has very few advantages over the other, and one or two ships are arguably downgrades from the lower tier. There are no bad tech tree lines though. Expect about half the population to be in battleships and carriers, probably more battleships than carriers.

Magni posted:Just wondering, but is botes going to allow people to name their ships? This is important. Allegedly it'll let you name them, but you'll be limited to the historical ship names from that class. I don't know how that'll work out with the paper designs. As long as you get all the historical names I guess that's okay. Flying French flags on your German destroyers (coming before British ships ) and South American flags on US ships is the next best thing to HMS What Are The Civilian Applications?

The bigger gun can exploit your gun depression better. Its camo is dog poo poo so you're less likely to die if you nudge your gun over a ridge, fire and back off.

xthetenth posted:drat. Click three times. Playing the ELC was pretty funny because bad games in it still gave 2500+ wn8. Win rate is a lot noisier than other stats. Win rate for a few games means nothing whatsoever where average experience or damage might be relevant. You have to play like 500 games to be confident your win rate is within 1-2%. That said I don't know why anyone uses stats for anything beyond "does this player know you can win the game?"

BadLlama posted:The T20 is better than average I would say. It is quite nimble and has great speed tied to a gun with pretty high alpha for a medium and great depression. Really it was one of the few tier 7's that was quite pleasing to drive. The T20 is really good. It's not as strong at top tier as a Comet but otherwise it's more than competitive with any non T29 tier 7 tank. It can carry tier 9 games on a fairly regular basis. I think most players must have immediately abandoned the T20 when they unlocked the Pershing, and forgotten about it. The Pershing is strong but the T20 is significantly stronger at its tier.

Desuwa posted:
I really liked the Chi-Ri when I still played. It gets disproportionately bad stats because it dies quickly in tier 9, but it really stomps tier 7 games, and it can put out a lot of damage at high tiers if you get a good position. And stomping tier 7s in a Chi-Ri is really fun, much more so than most of the usual pubbie stomp suspects. There's just nothing else that's anything like a Chi-Ri. Also the T25/2 is amazing.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:Not with waffles they don't. They still do. HE is worthwhile in most waffle shooting because, even if it has a slightly higher chance to do insignificant damage, the increased damage on the 99% of shots that penetrate more than makes up for it. Most HE zero damage hits on waffles are hits that would've been zero damage with AP too. The game registers a hit when you shoot the muzzle brake.

SU-85 doesn't have insane camo, it has the same camo to two significant figures as every non toaster tier 5 TD (AT 2 and M10 aren't TDs). It also has 350 view range with binoculars active. 350 view range is really bad. You cannot play vision games with view range that caps out with active binoculars at the same as a medium tank with no equipment. "Don't spot your own targets" isn't a good excuse, if you'll be sitting that far away you might as well play a toaster with a better gun. It's ok to like or do well in bad tanks. edit: that said, if wargaming ever nerfed the T67 it's closer; when I last played the SU-85 was a full tier worse than the T67, and probably worse than the SU-85B even without considering matchmaking.
