actually why hasn't there been a proper forest map? the closest thing we've got is, like, east murovanka and that's barely an hectare

Cause everyone remembers old murovanka, where by abusing camo you could light up everyone in the magic forest.

Literally all matches should be 15v15, MAYBE the lovely servers (NA, LATNAM, SEA, maybe some others I'm forgetting) can do 5/10 if someone's queue time goes over 2 minutes. That's it. There is no excuse for having +2/-2 matchmaking other than "it makes Wargaming more money" which, given Wargaming's public statements about intentionally causing the matchmaker to prefer 3/5/7 over the easier-to-make 15v15 same tier matches, and given Wargaming's policy of deliberately screwing platoons, "it makes Wargaming more money" is the only game design and balance criteria that matters.

15v15 game’s in tier ten are actually kinda fun.

There is literally zero difference between a draw and a loss. It is correct play, given 20 seconds and no other possible way to win, to drive out, hope the enemy shoots and bounces/misses, and then shoot back and hope for an ammo rack kill.

On the other hand, goddamn this playerbase is atrocious. Yet another reason to never play this game, thanks!

Well,to be fair a draw is a loss for the other team as well, so imo it is better to spread the misery.

In other news, I haven’t even had the urge to start this game for at least a month despite still having premium time.
Maybe I am free?

SPG-15 for the O260 must be the most difficult mission in the game?
Top XP on both teams and 3500k assist as arty. Please kill me.

Only that?
I did that for T55 SPG15 with a T92.

Putting PL flags on your tank on the EU server will get all sorts of "UNINSTALL PL RETARD" before the battle countdown even ends.

Why are you ignoring this sensible advice?

On a second note, reading this thread on a regular basis keeps me from coming back. I almost have my 3 months badge now.

This thread is excellent in reminding me why I stopped playing (mostly it was the grind and life that came in the way. Oh, and TW:WH2 where people complain about DLCs for 10 EUR).

Installed the game, got my T502 and bought a BatChat and a Obj263 for the credits. Then logged out. Mission successful

e: lololololol can't stop giggling at the fact that the is-3a's default shell goes six times as fast as the brit derp gun shells

So the IS-3A is basically an AMX 50 100 that can survive emptying the clip?
And is reasonably mobile with semi-decent armour like an IS-3?
And it is a premium so the only way to nerf it is power creep?

Hellsau posted:

The IS-3A is what the T69 wishes it was - inaccurate gun with moderate gold pen so it needs to get in close, but it has enough mobility to actually close the distance and enough armor and HP to survive close range, and a sizeable burst damage to punish enemies that allow it to close the distance and clip out.

And then the IS-3A becomes a regular tier 8 heavy tank without actually being punished for the 1200 burst damage over 6 seconds because its autoloader mechanic is broken, and also the IS-3A crushes the T69 in penetration and also everything else.

So another broken mechanic to the already broken autoloader mechanic.
And it can't be nerfed, because lol premium but it is balanced because it sees tier10s (which it can strip 50% of their HP in 6 seconds on).
So I guess tier8 is even more hosed than ever.

How the gently caress do you get to tier 10 in a tank destroyer without understanding the existence of the spotting mechanic?

Like, not even all the intricacies, just the concept that tanks spot for other tanks?

There is actually zero skill required to reach tier 10.

A reminder that it doesn’t cost anything for WG to give away their in game currencies that are worthless outside the game.

God forbid they spend money on balancing tanks and maps when they can make up more premium tanks to sell.

1 is not 0. A high or low roll in the right place can totally swing a match. Good job murdering.

In the glory days of HEAT M4, I got 10 kills where for the major part of the battle I had 1Hp left.

Btw, HEAT M4 for silver must have been the last time when tier5 was still relevant.
Making crazy money while shooting only HEAT.
The funny thing about WOT is that I cannot remember a time when there were no game breaking mechanics.

Warhams styles and commanders in the next Battle Pass. So that's 430U in a Death Guard style, E100 in an Ultramarine style and an STB-1 Orky style.

Nazi tank for space marines seems apt.
