Barry posted:One thing I think would happen with the $5 entry fee would be a real thinning of the herd of people with 2fps potato computers that don't have a dime to spare. So you'd still have just the genuinely bad players that can afford the $5 but you wouldn't have the people that are bad just because their fps/ping is completely unworkable. I played a tourney with someone who had a 2 fps potato computer. He did fine. It's ludicrously bad decisions that make potato players as bad as they are. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Hey now, I cheerfully accept that I loving suck at this game and that I've failed my way into my win rate.

Atomizer posted:Ultrawide stuff Generally I always just put a text window on one half of my ultrawide, that's partially because I've got a 3440x1440 screen though, which is an absolute wall of monitor. I'd say 16:9 is an awkward compromise because it's a bit too narrow for two windows at once, and there's so much use for more than one window at once it's not really worth optimizing for (and even if that were the case 16:10 would likely be better.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:I tried finding information about it, but I kept finding information about how to take screenshots. So how do you snap shot. Move the mouse a little when you shoot? Like putting english on a shot in Golden Tee? Snap shotting is when you shoot before aiming in fully, or in lieu of stopping to aim in fully.

HFX posted:Sadly, they did exist, but people were bitching about cloaking hetzers and invisible tanks. So they both neutered the class that benefitted the most from the mechanics that caused invisible tanks and the mechanics that made it easier to be invisible. Hilariously, the worst offending cloaking tanks still do cloak and invisitank, but the ones designed around it as a risk/reward mechanic are absolutely gutted. The answer of course is a spotting mechanic that isn't profoundly loving awful, but joke's on all of us for that one. Even something as simple as changing "tanks see spotted enemy tanks" to "tanks get a bonus to attempt spotting enemy tanks that are spotted" would be a huge deal for giant soft shell catchers that sit at megarange without making the tanks with cloaking devices goofy overpowered (because their margins are thinner and they're more likely to be close to more of their targets). xthetenth fucked around with this message at 16:56 on May 31, 2017 |

CompeAnansi posted:Some people in this thread have no sense of humor (and bad taste in tanks), so I generally assume people are being serious unless it's obviously sarcasm. Otherwise, I'd have to assume it's sarcasm every time someone says they like arty, or the m3 lee. I don't like the Lee, but I like that top guns felt compelled to me when I was in it. I guess it's that sicknasty dpm that's the only attraction means that if people don't treat you like the first target you can really clean up.

The Lee's DPM is better than reasonable, unless you're comparing to TDs, in which case it is on par for the tier, despite having a wad more HP.

Mesadoram posted:Tort can be a scary tank, it just poo poo out damage. It's a tank destroyer with a gun that combines the worst handling and alpha available, and not even by TD standards but by heavy tank standards. If you like getting snapshot by same tier heavies for more damage and whiffing the return, it's the gun for you.

Mesadoram posted:Splendid. Yep. I have most of the tier tens still, and would do the grind for most of the remainder if not for much better things to do with my life. I rage sold my Foch halfway through, right at the sweet spot for sunk cost fallacy, and it's the only tank I've done that with. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I free xp-ed a leo pt a to replace it as a tier nine to drive in platoons. Even without the top gun I preferred that thing. I had more fun grinding out the tracks for a friend's original tech tree T34. He'd put on modules so it couldn't fit the 105 and didn't have gold. Trying to land 90mm shells with that thing was a downright joy compared to the Foch. xthetenth fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Aug 1, 2017 |

HFX posted:If only I could face less super heavies in my 13 90. Getting hosed by a type 4 because I can't pen its sides if he just turns slightly is loving awful. Honestly, I keep thinking about light tanks overall. Compared to same tier mediums they have less armor, less pen, less dpm, about the same view range, often worse gun characteristics, less health, but they do go faster and have a bit better camo. I honestly think overall their role is mediocre at best. Oh god. What did they do with the Zeppelin?
