I seemed to have annoyed a reroll when I was playing my stock Standard B in my 4th game with it (defending a assault) At the end I should of teleported next to the Krav when he was reloading instead of takeing the time to eliminate the tanks on my flank and making sure I had a full clip. The support I had was so good the Leo was the one who killed me and not the Krav.

Am I going full pubbie or can you convert general blueprint fragments into nation fragments? I am sitting on at least 30 general fragments and I have had enough of playing the Swedish leo

God drat this game. On one x5 weekend o had gotten down to 46% on the Standard B before I had the top gun. Now fully researched I have dragged it back to 51%. It was not a tank o thought relied that much on its speed but it was only after I got the top engine did I really get the tank. The ability to pop out, dump 900 damage then run away without worrying about a clip reload is just broken. Plus at the start of games you can just be a normal medium and plink out shots with a normal reload.

You need to be more careful going arty hunting at higher tiers, the red team is usually better at closing the gaps and responding to what you are doing. If you have not yet seen a ht or td in the first three minutes of a game the odds of them base camping is high. But don't let that stop you if you see the gap with no other lights to chase you down. No arty gives your team a decent advantage.

Fat Jesus posted:oh yeah this tier 7 polska supposed to be a HT cause I'm not bouncing anything in it yet even with all the upgrades I sure as gently caress hope the 9 and 10 are worth it cause the 8 don't look amazing or anything The tier 7 is a medium tank without the top engine upgrade or a decent view range. The upper plate and turret front aren’t too bad but the rest isn’t good. Face hugging an IS will let you win if they don’t know about the 2 key but that is a problem with most heavys, same tier tds will normally go through your front. Even the mighty t29 has a bad hull front. The tier 8 is better but still on the lighter side of the heavys. Play it like one of the bricks and you will die quickly, use its mobility more and be a very heavy medium and you will do better. Thought the tier 9 does get a monster of a turret.

Don't go down the British heavy line, up until the tier 9 they are dpm based with bad armor layouts and slow as hell so need a decent understanding of the game to do well in. I would also stay away from anything French because while they are powerful in the right hands if you don't have the skills you will be more of a liability on your team than normal. The tier 8 french wheeled tank is on the other-hand just a fun go kart to go zoom zoom in. Concentrate on learning the tactics you need first over "good tanks". A poor tank in the right place is better for your team than a good tank in the wrong place. Get used to the spotting mechanics, angling armor when you have it, the best places to be on a map with what kind of tank (don't hang at the back camping with the TDs with a heavy for example) and shooting lines from invisible red tanks. Also never rely on your team to do anything other than suck and fail. Get your carrying pants on now as you team will mostly be cretins who can't use a mouse and breath at the same time. If this frustrates you stop playing or start drinking heavily. If you complain about idiots losing the game then you were the one who lost it as the same amount of idiots are on the other side as are on yours.

Definitely use HE against the tier 9 and 10 Swedish mediums. I have beaten fellow UDES16 in a hull down battle by HEing them in the face. One of the only uses of HE I can think of.

APFSDS is slightly different to the FAPDS. APFSDS is a dart of extremly dense metal that is designed to have as much kenetic energy as possible and "push" the armor out of the way, then go through the squishy bits of a tank along with the pressure wave of the impact and any shrapel. The dart is often made of Depleted Urianium which is also self sharpening when it goes through the armor and the dust from the dart as it squeezes through the armor also burns making a nice fireball inside the tank. The problem is DU is as toxic as all gently caress so even if the crew survives the shot they will die horribly later and the area around the tank is a toxic site full of cancer and birth defects. Some pinko librul socialists think that firing kilogram lumps of flaming cancer at your enamy is bad so are using Wulfrum instead of DU but it is not as good as DU (but much less bad for your troops and the civilians whose oil you want to liberate)

The Italian teir 8 to 10 mediums are like sane autoloaders. They reload as you shoot so you have the option of playing normal as well as clipping fools at the end. The Russian 430U line is also easymode with armour that is trollish.

Some tanks just don't fit your play style. I only have a 50% winrate in the Standard B but 56% in the UDES16. I guess I need armour as I am a aggressive player and the standard b just doesn't have enough.

The general rule of thumb is the better the player the worse the presentation. QB is a very good player but he is popular because he has a nice and engaging personality and is not sweary cockwomble. There are better players out there to learn from but they all tend to have warnings about toxicity or are fucknuggets.

I cracked and burned through a lot of blueprints so I could skip the lovely French tier 8 AMX 65t. I am glad I did because once you get the turret on the M4 51 it is a beat, like the T29 but at tier 9. You can gently caress up and the hull sides aren't great but that turret front is made out of an alloy of stalinium and bullshit.

serious gaylord posted:Mid tiers is where I find the strangest play. Like tiers 5-7. You get tanks in places they just shouldnt be, sometimes to your detriment when you come round a corner in the base to hunt arty and find a T-150 instead. You've never seen stupidity like E100s camping at the back with the TDs? I want to play in your high their games because I come across this every over game.

While the IS3 is good it has been powercreeped quite a bit. Anything with a pike noes like the IS3 or T10 is already pre-angled so you should be face on. Also don't trust the front hull armor to bounce anything other than tier 6s as the outside top of the pike is a week spot that experienced players will pen all day. It can bounce same tiers but only of RNJesus loves you or the person shooting at you snap shoots. At the moment the IS3 is more of a tough medium tank than a true heavy.

McGavin posted:I don't use camo on meds. It's only useful on a handful of non-city maps where you can do other things like double-bushing or backing up to shoot through opaque bushes. I think repairs are better because it's harder to get perma-tracked after burning your repair kit. Camo is handy as it can make you the 2nd or 3rd tank spotted and not the first. Having all the other guns pointed at the E50 near you can help you survive. Over all it depends on your play style and the tank. For soviet mediums it is less useful as at teir 9+ you should be brawling more but for the French and Leopards not being seen or being the last to be seen are the best options.

McGavin posted:Again, this just shows how camo is only situationally useful. I'd much rather have a skill that is contributing during every engagement, than one that is only useful in certain situations on certain maps, and the effects of which can be obtained by adjusting your play. The same is true of repairs. Repairs for a medium is only useful if you are being shot at and it takes your tracks out. If your tracks are taken out either you done hosed up and you are dead anyway or you need to burn a repair kit to be safe. The times when the normal repair rate is bad but the full repair skill time gets you out of trouble is tiny.

Is it me or is the Emil 2 a beast? It is either a really good tank when you play to its limitations or I am a much better player than when I ground the Emil 1 a year ago. The turret front and depression make it very good on ridge lines, you can punish people who makes mistakes and at the end of a game you can clip a red tank at 1k health before they have time to reload. Plus no one wants to push you because they don't know when you are reloading. Overall very nice.

I now have enough bonds to buy another tier 8 tank. Currently I am thinking the Patriot is a better choice than the STG and I already have the AMX M4. Is the IS5 worth looking at or should I hold on and get one of the teir 10s?

McGavin posted:Wow, just like how a baseball player's stats can change from week to week, but are still an indicator of how well they played during that time period? Baseball stats are generally for an entire season because luck (i.e. randomness) has nothing to do with stats when you average them out over a long enough duration. WN8, like every other stat, can be manipulated if you choose to. Yes a high WN8 most of the time is a good indicator of ability but you can Chi Snipe in a top tier heavy and do good WN8 numbers while still costing your team. Often in a loss the person with the most damage is the last to die, not the person who had the most influence in a positive way. Just like you can do poor numbers but have a high positive influence on your chances of winning. Generally high WN8 or win rate means a good player but it is not a guarantee. Statistics are like bikinis. What the show is a lot but what they hide is far more important.

McGavin posted:The key to a high WN8 is damage plus consistency. It turns out that you're probably going to win a bunch of games if you're consistently doing a ton of damage. I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand. Because we have seen games where the guy at the back did gently caress all until the game had already been lost only to top the damage tables when they get the damage during the final mop up when the red team is scrambling for those last few bits of XP. Or the guy with fantastic stats until you look at their record and its all padded out with tier 1, 2, or 3 and in platoons. A good WR or WN8 will usually mean a good player, but it is not a guarantee. The WR and WN8 for that vehicle is a better indicator but you will still get outliers. Like all things it is a bell curve and not an absolute.

I won't be able to get enough tokens to get the Kuntz so it comes down to the AE Phase 1or the Char Futur. My heart says the AE but the Char looks like it would suit me more as I have a 55% WR in the UDES 16. Oh well. Time to sit on the fence more.

Tier 9 on eu is now the new tier 8. It is full of idiots in premiums who know nothing like tier 8 but with the added tier 10 try hards who spam nothing but gold and people who free xp’d their way to tier 10 because they sucked at every other tier. With all this I still have a 57% win rate in the obj 257. It is a bullshit tank that makes anyone look good.

I managed to get keep a tryhard reroll going on a tier 10/9 Studzianki. They complained from the start about the team and did it all game, without doing anything much else. http://wotreplays.eu/site/5983451#studzianki-foxtrot_13-object_705 Plus his stats are very interesting. Almost nothing played below tier 8. https://en.wot-life.com/eu/player/Schollii-510581079/ After talking poo poo about me no follow up message.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:lol that the Indien-Panzer's stock gun is the loving VK 30.02 D bad 88mm, but now at T8 so you're facing T10s all the time. The grinds on the newer tanks are much better than it used to be or still is on the older tanks. Want the decent gun? Not before you have got the turret and you can't get the turret without the tracks. This can double the xp needed for the top gun. The T29 was a notable exception as you can mount the top 105 in the stock turret but with a DPM penalty.

Valley can be a good idea in very limited circumstances, but most WoT players can't deal with more than one variable at a time so it is safer to say no valley. If there are no arties and you are in a tank with very good gun depression and turret armour then it is an option. Two or more arties? Congratulations on being an XP pinata for the arties and tds.

The problem with skill based matchmaking is that the red team will have 54%ers who got their win rate in tier 10 tanks while you will be saddled with the 54%ers who can only get that w/r by seal clubbing at tier 1 and 2.
