If it helps at all, I was on the other team and we didn't have fun either. 183s are stupid as gently caress on either side.

I seem to be doing something which makes my teams implode on themselves, I just can't string together any wins at all. It took me 8 games to get a win in my Chi-To today. I'm usually ok in my Pershing, 55% wr in it, took me 6 games to get a win. gently caress this game.

I wish they had shareable config files, because that would be a lot easier than having to type up a list or verbally tell others what mods to use. With that being said, you can still play around with the OMC modpack installer and come up with a setup that's mostly compatible. Any options you pick will almost always work together. The only time you will really have issues is right after a patch hits, before the mod makers have had a chance to work out all the bugs.

just do a screen shot of the modpack with your options ticked.

I'm having a weird issue with Aslain's modpack since 9.7 dropped where some mods refuse to work after an install (Session stats, the garage Auto-Equip mod among them) even though the rest work just fine. I've had no trouble with the modpack on another machine so I guess the problem must be local. I've already tried cleaning up my res_mods folder and reinstalling but no luck so far - does anyone here have an idea what I can do outside of doing a fresh reinstall of the entire World of Tanks folder?

Just copy the whole game from the other machine. I keep a USB stick of a vanilla installation for emergency. And have 3 ssd with various mods.

Again, compared to what? The T29's soft stats are pretty good, or at least matches well compared to it's tier 7 heavy contemporaries. And I find few situations where an IS's frontal armor will take hits that a T29's won't. Of course the soft stats are gonna be worse than tier 8's and 9's, that's part of what makes them higher tier. But the original question was 'what tank fights best when poo poo on by the matchmaker', and I stand by the statement that nothing beats the T29 in that environment.

Can't make the T29 work for me 52% wins versus 68% in tiger p, The old tier 6 kv1s would have got my vote. But for present tanks a IS 3 gets my vote.

I only about stats in as much as the people with really poo poo ones actively prevent you from having good games. This is the only computer game I can remember playing where poo poo team mates can stop you from having a fun and profitable session.

Last night for instance, I was regularly in the top two for damage and kills on my teams, but over a session of twenty-eight games I only won ten because people with objectively terrible stats kept doing zero damage. Or doing damage but from a position of utter irrelevance on the map, which mean I, and everyone else, was being swamped by more tanks than we could deal with at a time.
Special mention to the only light on the team who hid well behind the TD line declaring "you gently caress only want others do your work for you gently caress you."

If you really care about stats, just pad them with op tanks.

I was just writing a post complaining about how I've barely managed to win four games out of twelve this morning because this week is absolute hell in WoT for me. My win rate has been closer to 30% than my global WR of 51.4%, regardless of the tank I'm in or if I'm platooned. Not because I've been playing differently, but because team after team is full of people who just never do any damage. I mean, my platoon-mate and I bought discount Jagdtiger 88s from Kinguin last weekend and we've still not managed a win in them after ten games. It is like playing an entirely different game to two weeks ago. One where my actions are entirely irrelevant to the (almost constantly negative) outcome.
Seriously, almost every loving game looks like this:

Then my last game was won for our team not by my four kills and 1200 damage, or the efforts of the team members who could be bothered to click red tanks, but by the top tier ARL bot who spent the entire game on his spawn point and only fired when the enemy artillery came to cap. This game is preposterous.

I know it's just an aberrant run of bad luck on a random matchmaker, but at the moment I am tempted to just give up on Tanks as a whole, which is a shame.

Tbh at 7k battles and you are only just getting into tier 10 battles where as tier 6 you can carry like a mother, at higher tiers you just do as much as you can. The Jagdtiger cant carry hard as its speed stops it being able to relocate when needed, for instance on a tier 9 battle last night we pushed hard in a wolfpack of mediums and a really good player in a jagdtiger didnt make a single shot as he couldnt keep up ith the rest of the team. PS I bought mine at the same time 60% wins

God drat the Tiger P is a piece of garbage. I could deal with the VK 3001P by shooting 100% gold out of the short 88 and pretending I was a really fat, slow and awkward T-34-85 with no gold, but this is unbearable. It's an even slower Tiger without the bullshit DPM. gently caress Porsche forever.

http://www.noobmeter.com/tank/eu/PzVI_Tiger_P
Number 4 in Europe. I used to platoon with another tigerP and completely bully lower tier tanks. Time has not been kind to the tiger P. But you can still scare tanks in to trying to shoot your lfp.

The E-50 is the best t9 medium. The only thing it's missing is high pen APCR as the credit ammo but it has everything else going for it.

Have you tried the AMX 30?

Desuwa posted:

At this point I have played all t9 mediums except the PTA on the live server. The AMX 30 is very good but it can't brawl in a pinch or bully lower tiers like the E-50 can.

It's up there with the Cent 7 and the E-50, though. But I give the edge to the E-50 for some good reasons, mainly its flexibility.

e: The cent 7 is more personal but it just clicks so well with me. Not that it's bad in absolute terms.

I think t9 mediums are my most played class/tier combo and I keep the majority of them.

There are so many good tier9 mediums the Cent never feels as if I am putting out a lot of damage, The WZ120 seems to work better for me than the T54 with the alpha of the top gun and the ability to bully tanks ( a four skill crew helps a lot, where as the t54s crews were always retrained to T62, object 140, and Object 430 ).

Hello tanksthread! I played some tanks for the first time in a while today. I think I last played a little after the personal missions started? Anyway, I have a strange thing: I have 2 crew members trained as Panther 8.8 crew. I have never owned a hitlerpanther. One, a loader, was sitting in my T-15, the other, a radio man, was in the barracks. They both have almost 2 skills trained. Did any german tanks change crew configuration which might have caused these dudes to be auto re-trained?

Besides that, anything new and interesting? I see missions don't seem to require platoons anymore which is nice, and there's a couple of new Soviet premiums.

They changed the awful panzer into the SPIC the SPIC has three crew the awful had five, the left overs got retrained.

Now I have BIA, Sixth Sense, Snap Shot, Smooth Ride and Situational Awareness. I only spent gold on my commander to keep the Sixth Sense perk. Once I get my other three crew members back up to three skills, I can start training up camo. I'm excited to have actual useful skills on the tank which accounts for about 25% of my games overall!
