Shoot red tanks, repeat. Politely inform team about their lack of awareness and mental abilities if losing.

I played WoWP in beta and it was rather fun for me at the time. However, Beta 4.0 made it too unfun for me for some reason. They changed too many things at once, so I have no real idea if it was the changes in the planes, the physics or the flight model that killed it for me, but I pretty much stopped. Good news are that my fake gold got converted into two months premium when it went live.

Probably people shooting AP. 230 pen at tier 10 is pretty sorry so if you want to put out the huge damage that the E 100 is capable of you have to pony up and shoot gold. It's a great tank that's very forgiving but costs a lot of credits to play properly.

You make it sound like I don't want to use the "gently caress You" gun on it, I hardly use gold with the stock gun and yet have a fun time with it.

quote:

"There were white units who performed badly, too," said William Hammond, historian at the U.S. Army's Center of Military History and author of the report. "But their failures were always given military explanations-- poor leadership, inadequate training, military ineptitude-- and they received military remedies. The 24th's conduct was always blamed on race. They were written off because they were black. No unit's reputation suffered as much as the 24th's."

...

"White units that performed the way the 24th did received corrective treatment immediately," he said. "Incompetent officers were quickly relieved of command and replaced. Stragglers were punished as an example. The units were retrained. The 24th was just written off. The officers were kept in command and stragglers were returned to their units."

At least they were not transvestites, eh SS? :v:

My STA-1 was cursed too. I had a super high WIN8 in it and would regularly be top player on the team, yet my winrate ended up averaging around 43%. Type 61 broke that curse.

Good to hear that I am not the only one who loses while ruling in STA-1.

This game looks amazing, yet confusing. Should I just jump in, or is the learning curve steep?

Edit: wrong thread.

Read up on the guides on http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/World_of_Tanks and you should be better than most pubbies. And try not too level to quickly and instead learn of what works best for you and what don't work.

I like the vanilla Matilda, but is the Matilda 4 like a regular Matilda with it's limited MM and less penetrating, more damage gun? I know Hellsau said he don't like it, but since some says he is artistically worse than Hitler, is there any other views?

Ensign Expendable posted:

The Lend-Lease Matilda is like a slower Churchill where you have to shoot APCR all the time to have any hope of penetrating anything that isn't a tier 3. You get mad gun depression though, so if you're cool with making no credits and desperately need a Soviet medium trainer, go right ahead and grab one.

I have the Object 907, so I don't need a medium trainer, and if it's not like the vanilla Matilda, it's probably not that fun.

Redshire is good for LT spotting, if you spawn north, go to spotting bush, if you spawn south, follow river and go to spotting bush because ~~people~~ pubbies are too loving dumb to use it.

Uranium 235 posted:

Which one is the spotting bush?

If you spawn in the north, the circle in the middle is a bush with two trees in it, next to a building, if you park yourself in there with binos, you can spot the tanks going east in the south and tanks on the ridge in the west. Similarly, if you spawn in the south, you can take a chance and go to the bush before the tanks in the north have time to go south in the zero line, it is risky but if you succeed, you will spot tanks on the ridge in the north, heavies moving in the east and perhaps even arties.

I don't understand how a bunch of people unwilling to listen and support their team are able to get near the needed fame points.

This just in: ARL actually good french heavy tank with amazing gun that can sometime bounce shots.

I will get the next tank soon. Is it something to write home about or an annoying stepping stone until you finally get your first autoloader?

Good gun and mobility but made out of paper. AMX M4 can be good if you think of it as a big medium.

Edit: I used the 90 mm because I am a cheap rear end who rarely uses gold but still enjoy penetrating everything.

Gapey Joe Stalin posted:

Sisters of Steel (female BiA) doesn't count as a skill for the purposes of experience calculation, meaning that you will outpace the number of skills on your male crew easily. I believe a full four skill male crew will be overtaken by a female crew who would go from SoS and their free 100% first skill all the way to 100% in their fifth before that male crew could.
With crew exp events this becomes especially awesome. I put four women into my t-44, one triple crew experience weekend later and they're only about 20% of their third skill (fourth if you count SoS) behind my best heavy crew who have been active from KV-1 up to IS-7, moving from tank to tank with gold. They should overtake the heavy crew and complete that skill this weekend because of a 2x crew experience event.

The women crews are amazing.

Just a reminder for anyone enjoying trolling dixieland lovers that today it is 150 years since Lee surrendered.

Fried Chicken posted:

Happy Surrender Day goons!

150 years ago today the Slaveholder's Rebellion was put down, and a belligerent, expansionist, violent, and racist regime was rightly destroyed. The Slaveholder's Confederacy was the first proto-fascist state, with the military absorbing and commanding private industry, its doctrine of explicit racial superiority, and it's mass exploitation and murder of those it deemed sub-human. It's destruction was an unarguable good, and brought freedom to millions.

Niggerlover is more likely, since WGA doesn't seem to care if you have "friend of the family" in your username. Go ahead and search in-game to see how many usernames contain "friend of the family". IIRC there are names like "kill_all_niggers", "niggerkiller", "niggerfaget", "niggerchimp"

The WOT community is the best.

Is WGA in deep south or something? In Europe they may not care about cheating, but they seem to make sure that slurs are punished, even if war criminals can flourish.

I don't understand how, it is one of those missions where you just play and it should happen without having to try.

That is pretty much how I have played it, yet it does not seem to happen. And whenever I actively go around and shot people in the rear end, the fuel tanks seems to be made out of diamonds. I could go full retard and just play Cromwell until it happens, but I rather just have fun playing tanks.

Edit: I'm probably asking this question prematurely, I don't have the top gun on it installed yet, still need the turret.

Before I got it, I considered it a potential keeper since it had a high pen gun for a med on tier 6, but while I now have a 75% winrate in the Achilles, I only have 40% in Firefly, so I don't know anymore. I do well in it but every match I get my team turns into pure shitters, so I think the drat thing is cursed. :psyduck:
