Ran from side to side, took too many hits, dished out a ton myself. Guess how many shots I missed?

Had a pretty lovely game (loss, top of team by exp), but managed to ram an enemy arty to complete my mission. I typed "yay got my ram mission lol" in chat and I get this tongue lashing from this pro.

Was having a nice time playing tanks with goons after a week of work, turning around, missing shots, getting shot in the butt until some condescending goon starts drawling on about how we're playing scouts wrong and how he's not mad but here's how it goes. Get hosed, dude. No wonder we're losing participation.

I was platooning with my buddy and after one of the matches a pubbie messaged me and told me that we did a good job holding the city and he was sorry he died so soon and he hopes that we get to play with better heavies than those that were in our match that game. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.

How about the KV-2? You don't need to worry about penetration and the gun is more accurate than one would expect. It's a great support/short range artillery in high tier matches.

Pretty good game if you think being bad at tanks is good. Rammed some poo poo, shot some tracks, couldn't look down,got a free kill, but it was all worth it by the end.

I tried to zip down the time it takes to watch the video, so enjoy.

Played in that tournament yesterday... our team won 8 games out of 14 (or whatever the numbers are). Looks like only 1 team leaves each group?

Anyway, here's a nice high quality vid of a match. My voice isn't in it because of settings I guess.

Little help? I remember way back a bunch of missions got unchecked on my account for some reason. I just need one more lady for my tank...

This mission's goal is to splash two dudes, right? Spent a few games one shotting guys and it hasn't triggered it. Also, wtf.

Hmm, well I just got it for knocking out a guy in one shot, then winning. So it was marked as incomplete, but only rewarded me when I got the secondary maybe? I dunno, who cares.

Quick 4 kill game in my Type59, trying out the Geforce Experience stuff. It was real easy to open the overlay (alt+z) then click the record button after I had signed it into my youtube account. Resulting video is pretty crummy, but hey! It was easy.


Snap shots, ramming, being rammed by, followed by getting punked.

Just throwing this out to the actual good players who can shoot enemy tanks and who can suffer through what I generously describe as "calling" - are y'all down for starting doing some tournaments? The Weekly tournaments which replaced the old Skirmishes appear to be significantly less time commitment. Check this one out - 5v5, 24 tier points, tier 5 max, Siegfried Line encounter. The format seems like it'd be a lot less stressful than the old Skirmish format - Monday is a group stage of up to 10 teams in a group, top 2 advance to the "upper playoffs", 3-6 advance to the "lower playoffs" which have insultingly low prizes so definitely shoot for the uppers. Each playoff bracket is a 64-team bracket, randomly seeded ('random' being suspicious coming from WGA as usual, but we'll roll with it). Wednesday the playoffs start - round 1 at 9pm eastern, round 2 starts 35 minutes later, up to four rounds on Wednesday. Teams play two games, first to win a game advances, loser goes out, gently caress you for drawing twice. Friday finishes the bracket. Only playing three days in the week, plus being able to just leave if you screw up and scrub out, sounds like it's just a significantly smaller time investment than the old skirmishes were. Obviously playing with packet loss seems like I'm going to actually rage out when it happens, but whatever.

Tier 5s are nice, since we can bring 1-2 Chaffees, 2-3 KVs/O-I Exps/Chaffees, and a Luchs or AMX 105 AM for the tier 4 depending on what we want to do. There's also no outright oneshot kill guns unless they're crazy enough to bring a tier 5 artillery to a city map. Actually I've talked myself into this and made a team.

We require 5 players to show up, and only have 2 reserve spots, so I'll kick you out if you're bad and I have a replacement. Exia, Primelaw, Steelion, HFX, other people who can stand to platoon with me - are y'all up for either some quick gold or some classic Hellsau rants when we inevitably have some total crazy bullshit happen? Maybe we'll get another Chaffee handstand, or maybe this loving hilarious poo poo where we just clown on bad players and then play really dumb and get lucky anyway.

e: god that loving 12t pinball action.

What's the preferred KV? 1 or 1S?

Awww drat, just completed mission 15 of campaign 2 for SPG's. I did like all the missions in my object 261 after the last patch. The hardest one was mission 2 or 3 where my team had to do 1000 damage based on my stuns or whatever.

If you could platoon an arti with two humans so that you had people reliably hitting the stuff you stun, do you think you could have done all 15 missions in 15 battles?

If the goal was to farm it out? drat it would go fast.

I know you, Hellsau have just said "SELL THE drat BC 12-t", but should I unlock the AMX 30 or is it crap too? have teh b-c 25 and 1390 unlocked already.

Just wait until you hit SPG-15, where you have to be in the top 3 XP earned across both teams and get at least 1500 assistance/stun damage. I can't even imagine my teammates doing that much damage. I guess it encourages you to just lob shells at whatever everyone is shooting at and hopefully get in on that with the stun - not that that's how you win games in arty.

Just to toot my own horn a little. I got all the SPG campaign 2 missions done in like a week post patch without anyone helping. Object 261, hope that helps.

Oh I know you can technically do some low-fidelity gaming on an Intel iGPU, but given that money's tight I don't want to lock him into something low-end that can't even be upgraded. There's a $350 Acer that I recommend in the Laptop Megathread (plus up to about $100 for a RAM and SSD upgrade) but that's still about a $450 expenditure and it doesn't even have a dGPU, with no way to add one after the fact. Like I said, there was a 950M laptop that was a hell of a deal but I snoozed and lost it.

I have no context... does it need to be a laptop? I wanted to check out the cheapest thing I could build that would rock this game. (SSD is the only luxury). These parts should be reliable too. The only limited upgrade on it is only 2 ram slots on the mobo. it costs 20 dollars to have 4 total.

2500k at 4.6ghz with 1080ti, I get about 110 to 155 fps normally, but I don't think I crack 100 on FL. Sometimes it drops lower, but then goes back to normal if I alt-tab out and back. I'd guess that there is a cpu limitation going on.

Hell yeah man, this thing is a water cooled muscle car! I flipped a previous graphics card for profit, and bought a badass gfx card and mined enough coins to cover it. It costs like 600 bucks to get a significantly faster processor for gaming (motherboard, memory, cpu).
