Haha holy poo poo, Dragon found a new and exciting way to sell the same old Tiger kit again. They're really a company that knows their audience. The German section of the catalog is later than the armour sections for all other nations combined.

model manufacter seems to be platz, but honestly I don't see how you can have too much difference, probably added a couple of *kawaii decals* and called it a new thing.

EDIT: realize you are probably saying that dragon makes the basic tiger kit and then platz sticks in the new decals

I've been watching Sela's streams a lot this week and it just looks like his aiming is a lot smoother than mine - he drops into sniper, points his mouse where he wants the shot to go, and boom. For me, I go into sniper and the reticle bounces all over the place. It takes me a second just to get it stable and even small mouse movements jerk the reticle around. Maybe my mouse sensitivity is too high, who knows. What you say about not being so picky about targeting is probably true, though, I should just let it fly especially if I'm >100m away from my victim.

Using dynamic crosshairs stabilizes your gunsight so if you hit a bump it doesn't rock up and down. Otherwise I find using a lower senstivity makes you more accurate to drag more mouse to move the crosshair for finetuning.

I love it when baddies buy tanks and think because it's the new hot thing. Like playing THAT particular tank is their key to become a great player.

Did you shoot HE at him or regular shots? I have a feeling on tanks with lower caliber the HE will not be that much more effective. An STB-2 shot me with HE dealing only 140 damage, I had ~215 hp.

T-34-85 HE has ridiculous damage (280) it might still work.

Tank inspector says.... 30 mm armor against a 43 mm pen HE shell might do the trick.

My own play experience is that every gun is awful in your own hands, but is a laser-guided death ray in the hands of others. (This is slightly mollified if you play gold.) But I'm also bad at tanks so :v:

I think I'm giving up on American arty though, the Priest is simply Too Bad. I'll keep it around I suppose in case for some reason I feel like double-artillering.

Arty doesn't really get good until tier 5 at least, everyone is moving around too much or is too small to hit and your splash radius is basically nothing at low tiers.

Also after coming back from a six month break and somehow turning purple in the interim, I will say that it's like arty never, ever got nerfed. I've been spotted two minutes into a game, where most of my team has been spotted, and immediately two out of three enemy arty will shoot at me. It hurts that I'm worse than I was six months ago, playing a good 600-700 WN8 lower than I used to, but gently caress this bullshit.

I will say it straight out - if you don't see the problem with arty in this game it's because you're not good enough. As your stats get better arty does aim for you more, and conversely they aim for you less when you're green and there's a blue or purple on your team. At least half the enemy arty is actively waiting for that purple to screw up and show himself. Though I'll admit I've been screwing up a lot more than I used to. Arty is a dice roll but when the enemy arty is singling you out all game eventually the dice are going to come up in their favour.

Well now that you mention it.... I have been feeling like I get focused more by arty but then again I play on west and its usually a sea of red to yellow.

Assuming he is playing the grand finals tournament its 3v3 so any tank that gets knocked out is 1/3 loss of combat power, and if he is on a team he had to either make it or join it. And he would be retarded if he didn't check the stats of his team mates.

Plus he has to be an idiot since its 3v3 steppes encounter you shouldn't get hit by a KV2 unless you want to get hit, or he was even more retarded and brought slow heavies on a big open map suited for lights and mediums.

For some reason when balancing the amount of light tanks on each team, the Type 62 isn't taken into account.

7k damage Leo PTA game with a damaged ammo rack halfway through 1903 BASE exp. I think I set a new account record, last one was vk 3601 at 1500 I think.





Description: this wasn't a game of me playing good until the end, it was more of the enemy playing worse, I took too many unnecessary hits two which took out my ammo rack 2 times. At the end I did what mediums did best by peeking up spotting and getting spotted and going halfway round the map to shoot them.
