when i just log in and play some games with tanks i enjoy, i like this game a lot

when i try and set goals for myself, which nearly always includes playing a bad tank or a tank that doesnt fit my style, i hate this game a lot

in conclusion world of tanks is a land of contrasts

oh i know, i too have some tanks with like 400 games played and 40% win rate that i just had to loving deal with. the russian medium line has not been kind to me and it just doesn't click with me. american mediums on the other hand, i think i have something like a 62% win rate in my t20 with like 500 games played.

also i kicked rear end in the t69 but i'm dogshit with the t54e1

121b is a fantastic tank. I have zero regrets buying it.

Treat the T54E1 like a medium that is slow and has no armor. It can poo poo out damage at a scary rate, but cannot take hits. What tank did you get up to in the Russian medium lines? The T54 and the Obj 430 are both fantastic tanks and worth the pain.

Gotta break it up, you will drive yourself mad doing only lovely tanks you don't think are fun.

i believe it's the t54 i just got unlocked but don't have the cash for it yet. not selling the t44 yet either cause i'm trying to unlock the other tank too. ugh the gun depression on the t44

Out of all the vanilla 240 damage, single shot tier 8 tech tree meds the Indien was my least dreaded.
The weird V-shaped side armor makes it a superb sidescraper, as long as the enemy doesn't wise up and just aims for the turret.
The HEP ammo isn't too shabby either. At least it's got something

the pershing was great. the american medium line isn't my best line nor is it my favorite but they're all really loving solid at least up to the pershing. the e6 and t20 are two of my best played tanks.

i'm working on the t9 patton now and again, not my favorite but it's still a good tank

It is a down-tiered Pershing but with a poo poo engine last I recalled. As far as T7 premiums go its probably one of the best, but also its T7, so who cares.

If matching making was 0 or +- 1 I'd probably play a lot more T7 cause I do like a lot of T7, but gently caress fighting T9's at T7. Basically the same as if you were fighting T10s.

+0 matches in t7 is fun but yeah +2s are loving awful. i got Mastery in the Tiger the other day on like my 5th game with it because it was a +0 match and I ended up doing something like 4.5k damage

World of Warships has Unsinkable Sam, who was a real life ship's cat. Sam survived the sinkings of the KMS Bismarck, HMS Cossack and HMS Ark Royal before retiring to a sailors' home. The in-game commander just has a lot of cat sounds: purring when he sinks a ship, hissing when enemies are spotted etc.

You can bet your rear end I whaled the gently caress out when Sam became available for purchase.

The real life explanation for why you can have a ship captain cat and not a tank captain cat is that there is no loving way in hell a cat is going to not go absolutely berserk inside of a tank, whereas they have at least some room to move about within a ship, even if it is a closed room.

e; pretty sure i haven't heard of a submarine cat tho but i've heard of sub dogs.

I played for the first time in like 6 months, although I hardly played any battles at all since last year. It still feels the same, although I'm slightly more clueless than I used to be. (I haven't taken an intentional break from the game, I just don't have time to play everything I want to.) The one thing that I'd forgotten about was the terrible Flash interface this game still inexplicably uses: it takes almost as long to load the garage after a battle than it does to play the battle! :doh:

The S-51 used to be nicknamed "The Can Opener". But that was a long, long time ago.

Now-a-days, it is kind of just a middling arty.

the s-51 was loving hilarious back in the day. that line is one of the few i have to t10 and it was back when you could talk poo poo to the other team and any time i would one shot someone with it, i'd say "Nice Catch" and it would always end up with hate filled messages after the game

i played more of the school bus than the S-51 cause IIRC the S-51 doesn't hold a lot of ammo and that was always an issue when the game went the full time. so many times playing the russian arty line would it be like me and one light tank left vs a heavy with half health and I'm out of ammo

I went school bus as well, but not because of ammo reasons, that never seemed to be the issue. It was the gun traverse arcs. Both have garbage tier bloom when the hull ever twitched. But the school bus had a wider gun arc over the s51. Traded for speed, but worth it.

the SU-5 is the one that would run out of ammo constantly but there were others in the line too that weren't great about it either. the 261 only held like 16 rounds, again IIRC, back in the day and you could be done with that in the Orbital Laser in around half the match if you were aggressive

I get that after all the poo poo Dark Fate got that Linda Hamilton would've told them to gently caress off, and Arnie was probably too expensive to get again, but I'm pretty sure if they made a reasonable offer Patrick would've recorded a few T-1000 lines. It's not like the T-1000 had any catch phrases that could be sketchy from a legal standpoint.

A lot of older premiums, even T8s, need to be reclassified as T7s, and the FCM 50t is definitely one of those tanks.

Honestly, I'd say it probably would be better at T6 since a stiff breeze can penetrate it from pretty much all angles.

Incredibly lucky, possibly not being a completely useless dogshit player being a factor. Not to downplay or discourage you but the loving thing can't even hit an average of a 47% WR, on any server, closest being NA.

FWIW I finished that grind with something around 53% WR, and I'll freely admit that platooning contributed to that. It's just fat & cumbersome with armour that only mattered 7+ years ago.

ive just been sniping with it cause of the dogshit armor, and i know the gun has a fat targeting circle, but i have way more luck with it than say the derp cannon on the kv-2

I am still at least 95% convinced there's some kind of hidden "how likely are shells to hit the center of the aiming reticle" value in WoT, because many Soviet tanks are way more accurate than their abysmal accuracy values would indicate.

that wouldnt surprise me, on the other side of that theory, there are some supposedly super accurate guns that feel like they scatter easily unless you're fully aimed

I don't get this game's players. Today I had a T9 game on Karelia, we had the T9 Polish TD on our team. Being played by a 54% WR player, too, so you'd think he'd know what he was doing. Yet there he was, camping on the redline. And not in a "I'll hang back for a minute or two to see where the match is going" kinda way, but in a "I'm sitting in the last bush on the map until 80% of my team's dead and then start moving".

Why the gently caress would you play a Polish TD if you want to camp on the redline, instead of ... you know, literally ANY other TD line in the game?

i had something similar yesterday. the end of the game comes down to me in my m44, another arty and a td who has been camping the whole time vs a single dicker max at full hp. we obviously drew cause the other arty went to try spot for me and got killed and by the time i got the useless TD to do a loving thing, time was up
