[MMO] World of Tanks

[PowerYoga]

And that was the last game played in this game. Cant stand the fucking stupidity anymore. Just lost a game in my E50 where we had 10 players left and they had two and they managed to cap our base. Done with it, too many games out there that are quality and the ranks arent filled with tards.

Finished my career with a 53% win rate, 73% hit ratio, 4703 games, 5234 kills, most kills 9 in a single game, 31% survival rate. Crapload of other awards. Good bye and good riddance.

Yup, this weekend was filled with fucking terrible idiots for some reason. I platooned with my friend and we managed to swing 2 games around, but the rest of the time its just fucking ridiculous. 3x crew exp or not, I got sick of trying to carry the team and stopped playing for the weekend. I swear its like every fucking 12 year old woke up and decided they wanted to play world of tanks.

I won a game just like this, except it was around 3 on 9. My brother, a clan mate (not platooned with us), and I were able to cap with the rest of the enemy team on the other side of the map. An AMX 1390 tried to make it back in time, but he was moving so fast when he appeared, he didn't stop to take his shots. He missed 2 shots to reset, and we had it. A spectacular win on our part. The best part is, we never thought we were going to win, we just said "fuck it" when we saw our team getting rolled on the other side, and were just content at first killing the arty. The map was Fjords btw, and my brother and I were both in object 704s, and my clan mate was in a t-62a (russian tier10 medium).

edit: Also you were in an E-50, which is fast enough to have made it back to defend if you would have noticed your flank had crumbled. Everyone has been in these situations though. Even if I spam "Back to Base!", its very rare that anyone turns around. Too many people dont want to get the paint scratched on thier tanks, even for a win. I've won countless games for being that person that turned around to reset the cap in time.

I've done that a few times myself. You don't need to kill the 3 tanks on your cap, you just need to pen once to reset the cap. Doesn't make me want to carry the team though as 90% of the time you'll get wrecked or get some 0 damage crits or a bounce.

People should learn to use HE to reset CAP...

By the time our middle completely crumbled I was already nearly on their cap. I did however make a run to reset, but even at 55kph I couldnt make it to our cap in time. The rest of our team was near their cap as well. And they had to take forever to finish off the lone Lowe holding off 8 players lol.

Game was fun but has become a bag of frustration since July. Time to hang up the cleats and move on.

That doesn't work well anymore. HE rounds on turrets and frontal glacis usually do 0 damage, and shooting the tracks with a normal ap round is much more reliable. Unless you're sporting a large caliber tier 9 or tier 10 gun, AP rounds is much more reliable.

Tried to HE the front of some tank with the pershing's 90mm one time to reset cap... Unloaded all my he rounds since then.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Low caliber HE can be worse than AP, as it just wont do any damage at all. I only have HE on a few of my tanks, and its usually only 3-6 shots of it. I keep 3 on my object 704 for when I face french heavy teams. Hitting a batchat or amx for over 1k damage is too much fun to pass up.

 

[Genx87]

I think this video is a good representation of how one feels playing a game when your team melts. The last guy standing gets a 4 on one beat down lol

I would say the first guy down got ammo racked. The last guy is the maus.

*I havent played all week so thought I'd get some game time in today. Tried to play but the lag is just terrible. Not that many online either so must be their server. Maybe try again tonight.

Edit: Yes, much less lag tonight. Better gaming experience. I guess about a 50/50 win rate.

Just passed 1200 in effeciency...in my LOLtractor of all things:

Had a blast and thought I'd go offensive after that bloody french tanks annoyed me so much :sneaky:

It was worth it

T-50-2 Unlocked, now the question is keep the T-50 or sell it?

Thoughts?

The only reason to keep the T-50 is if you want it for medium companies.

I kept mine but to be honest I never use it for anything. Once you get the -2 model there is not a lot of need anymore for the T-50.

Just a heads up for anyone in terested in tanks
I put a linkhere - http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/109140-m41-walker-bulldog/page__st__20 for some pics I took at a local tank museum. As you can expect from an Israeli museum there are plenty of medium tanks from the 50's and up.

When WG introduced the M48 I repurchased the Pershing to grind for it. I NEED that tank
It and the british Centurion are basically the 2 reasons Israel exists today.

Been watching "greatest tank battles" and came across a great subtitled documentary from the russian side.

Really fun watch. Panthers, tigers, ferds vs T-34s! Russian bias?

I've heard rumors that 8.0 is going to be released quite soon (within the next 2 weeks). This actually scares me, since it might end up "breaking" the game for me. I already get stuck with enough idiots as it is, and now WG is going give all these idiots ways to kill themselves. Above that, I'm sure we will have people exploiting the newly accessable terrain areas.

It's not an exploit to use the terrain the flank the enemy or use it for defensive movment...it's called "tactical maneuvering".

I really, really, really dislike the crappy current ingame physics....since I play the VK2801 a lot...this is a GOOD patch...very NEEDED.

The amount of "sticky" terrain just went up by a large factor. Stuck against a rock is annoying but rare. Pushed or accidentally falling down a ledge with no hope of recovery? I really wished Dragon's Ridge was on for the change over because I would love to see a Maus delicately trying to maneuver around turns knowing he could start rolling at any time and never recover.

Besides, it still does not fix the real broken terrain. Break through a house, no problem... but stay off the stairs! Getting stuck on a downspout? Working as intended.

Most of the maps that we play on were never designed with physics in mind. Now with physics you get arty on mountain tops, or other odd terrain features, which were never intended to be used.

With 7.5 and prior, sure you could rarely get permanently stuck, or hit an "impassable" terrain area and come to a jolting halt. Now with 8.0, I can flat out kill myself with terrain. Not to mention getting permanently stuck now is more common.

I can already see tanks driving off cliffs, or down ravines just to keep people from getting the kills/credits/xp. If you survive the fall, its not like anyone is going to risk driving down after you. Now most games are going to have to be won via capping, since its likely you'll always have that one idiot that fell down a hole.

Along with physics in 8.0, the revamping of the tank tree layouts is just flat out horrible. The person who's idea it was to "redesign" a perfectly good working layout needs to be fired. The current layouts are compact and easy to follow WITHOUT SCROLLING. Now I have to scroll to follow the tech trees, and the connecting lines are everywhere with no real rhyme or reason.

I do like the new after battle in game stats. I do wish it told you which modules you damaged and/or destroyed on the enemy tanks, but I can do without that.

I do wish they would add an ingame damage counter for each player. That way you can see who's really carrying your team, other than that person who's been getting that last shot in.

Not a problem for you... cap whore

 

[PowerYoga]

I don't know about you but I can't wait to shoot my t-50-2 off a hill and do some sweet jumps.

 

[Lonbjerg]

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to drop my Maus onto a t-50-2 ^^

I let you get invader yesterday. Either way I need to be a cap whore to stay in the top 1000 in cap points. Its also an easy way to keep that efficiency up. Don't be jealous that I have a purple efficiency and you don't.

Ugh, I did an estimate of how many games it would take me to raise my w/l ratio to 56.5% (57%) from my current 55% and its about 4000-5000 games. Damn its a PITA to get that w/l ratio up once you have alot of games under your belt. If only I could erase my stats from my first 6 months of play, damn that would be nice.

OK guys...KT, T32 or go down the french TD line (at ARL 39 currently)?

I would rule out the KT, as the E-75 and E-100 aren't worth it. The KT and the E-75 are both fun tanks fully upgraded. The grind to get the E-75 upgraded so that its battle effective is hellish though. That and the E-100 is just crap.

The T32 played correctly is a great tank. Its a hull down beast. That and the M103 and T110 that follow in the line are great tanks.

I dont have any experience with the french TDs (besides blowing them up). As it currently stands the American end game TDs are the best.
