Hellsau posted:It's a premium VK3002M. Not worth paying money for, but probably fine when it'll be buyable for gold. I need to reup for premium anyway so I figured I'd buy either the Pudel or the T28E/F-30 bundle that comes with premium + gold and get a cheap tank on the side. But yeah, premium VK3002M doesn't scream fun  E: also looks like the birthday sale is live. Are either the SU-100Y or Dicker Max any fun anymore?

British TDs are loving hilarious. I unlocked the AT-2 and that thing is just a bounce monster. In my last game I tanked a KV-85, a Tiger and a Tiger 131 for ages, destroying the Tiger and the KV-85. Pubbie aiming, of course, but still.

Welp I finally had enough of my piece of poo poo Jagdpanther II in constant tier 10 games where even unlocking the 128 let alone the Jagdtiger would've taken me several hundred more games, and sold that loving piece of garbage. It was a fun tank when I occasionally faced tier 8 and 7 tanks!

space pope posted:I quite enjoyed it with the 128mm gun :/ Yeah it probably would've been decent with the 128 but... man. Like 95% of my games are the standard tier 10/9/8 games where the 88 is loving useless. Even if I shoot gold and go broke, I'll have trouble penetrating most tanks. So I'm getting gently caress all XP, especially since I have next to zero ability to influence the game and am at the mercy of pubbies, and thus lose more often than not. Some mod I'm running estimates how long it'd take me to finish the unlocks (ie. unlock the 128mm) and how long to unlock the Jagdtiger. The figures for both were in the 450-500 game range. No loving way. In more positive news I also unlocked the top gun on my Tiger II and learned how to play it, and it's an amazingly fun tank!

Cartoon posted:Share your Tiger II wisdom Sensai. Hang way way way back, hide behind tougher tanks and hope enemies shoot at it, then enjoy your decent gun. I guess I'm kinda playing mine like a turreted TD right now. For the longest time I was having a really hard time with it, but then it just suddenly clicked and I started having good games. It's my only tier 8 heavy so it might ACTUALLY be a horrible piece of poo poo and I just don't have a point of reference, but I'm liking it! Duzzy Funlop posted:What's the XP required to unlock the JT, 140k or something? Let's say it's 150k, that's just above 330 XP per game for it to take you 450 games...horseshit. Yep! That's about how much XP I'd be getting in a loss match where I do ~400-500 damage (and often even less because I'd die before getting the chance to shoot once)? Not all my games were like that, but MANY of my games were. Couldn't penetrate poo poo, couldn't hit poo poo from the ranges I'd have to be shooting from not to get insta-murdered after my first shot. Maybe it'd get better with the 128mm gun but with the 88 it was a loving horrible ding fest and the second gun upgrade is more of the same with much more expensive shells. It was a painful, horrible grind and I just didn't see much point in sticking with it when I have many more fun options to play.

It's real fun. Not that fast or agile, but the gun is accurate, penetrates most things without gold ammo and has great dpm. Also apparently insane spotting values and great camo. I really like mine and don't regret buying it one bit.

Yeah, when the stars align, the WZ-122 owns bones. It's generally a very fun tank! I think this is my best game so far. Could've done even better but I decided to leave our sniping perch to spot for a Jagdtiger and got overwhelmed, but we did end up winning the game largely due to the two of us.

I unlocked the Pershing, and had the second "best" 90mm gun unlocked from the T20 already. Should I slap on that or go for the 105mm and shoot HE until I can get the top 90mm? My gut says the former.

Started climbing the Japanese heavy tree because I'm capable of only the best decisions, and god drat the Type 91 is awful. Sub-medium armor, sub-heavy speed. The gun's decent but fat lot of good that does me when I inevitably get swarmed by Pz Ics and chewed to pieces. And apparently the Type 95 is worse!

Turmoilx posted:xvm ruins everything AND WILL make you go insane from seeing red triple digit and double digit numbers Boy ain't that the truth. Recently the EU servers have been making me want to kill my team and then myself, because half (on a lucky day) of my team will be double digit efficiency rating bots, the other half will be Russian and Polish people team killing each other. My winrate has dropped significantly and it seems that almost every match is a complete loving blowout with one side (the one with actually decent players) winning by 12 or 13 kills and it's just luck which side you'll end up on. XVM also proves that Wargaming don't take your rating into account AT ALL when matchmaking, because in 99% of my games one team will be 4/5 pure red and the other will be an actual team of decent humans, who will then proceed to utterly crush the other team. Strike Anywhere posted:If you have been playing games recently, don't forget to go to wargaming's tankrewards.com halloween deal and click on houses to get manual fire extinguishers. Americans only, as usual, right? E: also, it seems like there's some new bot making the rounds that doesn't give a fuuuuuuck about shooting teammates, because I've been taking a lot more friendly fire in recent days from sub 100 performance rating tomatoes who just try to shoot at the enemy through me. It's not a case of me driving in their line of sight just as they shoot either, it's like the bot just doesn't understand that there's a friendly in the way.

I don't understand why so many pubbies have such a raging hard-on for the Type 59. It was great when it was released, but it was nerfed and then power creep and 3/5/7 matchmaking overtook it to such a point that I haven't even liked playing mine for ages.

Eh that was partially my bad, I didn't remember the Type 59 has preferential matchmaking. I mostly play with friends who have normal tier 8s and those draw me into the bad matchmaking hopper. And it's not like the tank is unplayable. It's a fun tank, but not worth the hysteria pubbies have surrounding it. It's not OP by any means and I'd bet most of them will absolutely hate it because it requires some skill to be effective. serious gaylord posted:It could be something completely new I guess?

Duzzy Funlop posted:You know...just like premiums years ago, before the introduction of stupidly-overpowered ones. Well sadly it doesn't come with a time machine so "hey this is how premiums should've been 3 years ago" kinda doesn't cut it anymore as a design principle. Everyone is shooting gold so armor is worth less and less unless it's brokenly good, and a huge insanely slow moving tank with weak spots the size of Texas is just a big loving easy target. E: I mean I get what you mean: this is how Premiums SHOULD'VE been all along, and I agree with you! Remixes of their normal versions that serve as credit printers and crew trainers, but sadly that World of Tanks is long dead and gone, killed by a few years of increasingly OP premiums and really bad design decisions like "let's let everyone shoot gold like it's going out of style, oh and let's also make them have to do it". Unless they start to roll back those bad decisions (and they won't), the Mauerbrecher will just be a giant piece of poo poo.

These changes sound loving bizarre and so bad. The tanks that have preferential treatment really need it for the most part. And I'm afraid that the gold ammo "price adjustment" isn't exactly going to be a massive cost increase, which will just make the gold spam so much worse. And here I was, almost excited to check the game out at 1.0.

Bought the VK 45.03 because I only make smart decisions, and so far it's been a real fun tank. The armor is made of paper but then Tigers kinda have to be played as snipers anyway, and the tank excels at that. The gun is very accurate, fires fast and has insanely quick aiming.

The EU 7th Anniversary thing seems to be a big old turdburger. There's some easy missions for free camo and consumables, which is cool and good. For this massive anniversary event they're offering the ELC EVEN 90 and the Lorraine 40t at standard prices. E: Also, the missions for the new Italian T8 tank have been spotted. There's two sets of missions: ones you can only do in a Tier 10 tank, and ones you can do in any Tier 6 - 10 tank. Tier 10 missions on the left / tier 6-10 missions on the right. 1) Get a High Calibre medal / Earn 5k base xp, 2) Block 4k damage 5 times / Earn 7k base xp, 3) Top on damage 5 times / 15k base xp 4) Get at least 850 base xp / 30k base xp 5) Block 4k 10 times / 35k base xp 6) Get High Calibre 5 times / 35k base xp 7) Top on xp once / 40k base xp 8) Top damage 20 times / 45k base xp 9) Get 850 base xp 20 times / 50k base xp 10) Top on XP 20 times / 50k base xp 312k base XP is a loving ASSLOAD IMO.

Barry posted:Every day, for two weeks. Towards the end of 2017 I first did the very grindy premier ship marathon they had in World of Warships, then for good measure decided to grind the free XP to unlock the USS Missouri before it went away (basically you had to pay 750 000 free XP to unlock a pretty good tier 9 premium ship, after which it would cost 1 credit) and that month killed my interest in playing the game at all. I don't think I've even logged in after that. So I think I'll pass, especially when this event will drag out all the mouth breathing tomato pubbies, meaning I'll be loving lucky to win 50% of your games, meaning I'll probably be getting closer to 200-300 base XP for ~half my matches. NOPE. I already have a paid job. If the Prosciutto is a fun tank, I'll just loving buy it.

I don't get the design philosophies in this game. I'm slowly climbing the British TD tree and I'm up to the AT 2 which is a slow shitbox with a crappy gun but supposedly good armor. Yet every time I try to play in it, one or two idiot pubbies try to shoot at me with normal ammo from the front, and everyone else just peppers me with gold ammo which seemingly goes through the front with no problems, from any range. Seriously and honestly: what the gently caress am I supposed to do in tanks like this? What is my intended counterplay?
