[MMO] World of Tanks

[Skott]

Finally researched the T71. The last 30k xp on my T21 I just stayed back as anti scout for about half the match then went out and scouted and/or killed arty. Worked pretty good although I did die a lot. Most of the time in fact. The poor T21 is just weak. Weak armor. Weak gun even when using gold. Just weak. A shame too because it can be a fun tank at times. Anyway, I'm done with it. On to the next one.

Going to miss these outrageous XP games after they move it to tier 6.

That's crazy.

 

[Skott]

I went ahead and moved the T21 crew to the T71. Made them 100%. Slapped on vents, camo net, and binocs. Damn, this tank is fun. Already got it fully upgraded. I can even run lots of gold and its cheap to replace and makes good creds. Crew was 60% skill in repairs so I'm going to let them get 100% then switch to camo skill. I think this one is a keeper. Much more fun than the amx50/100 I have. Reload times are much shorter. Does nice damage. Switch to gold and it does even better due to the better pen. I'm liking this tank a lot so far.

The T71 is an awesome tank. I'm really loving mine.


I decided to sell my IS4 and pick up an E100. I got tired of the crap russian tier 10 and figured I'll troll some noobs in pubs with the E100.

I didnt get to bring the pain that much over the weekend with the M4 derp. I only got in 53 games due to Warthunder occupying a lot of my time. But I made it count with 124 kills. Of course the MM gods saw fit that my win rate actually went down with only avg 58% wins over those games.

Sadly, this weekend was pretty horrendous for a solo pub player X5 weekends always bring out the cream of the crop.

Yeah I didn't do well this weekend at all. Bought the T71 and T-54, and couldn't BUY a win in my t-54 for the life of me. Even at tier 9 there's a shitload of morons that have no idea how to drive their tanks. I have the LB1 and I'm grinding through the turret, but the metagame is such that I pretty much have to carry the team even if I'm stock. I'm getting an average of 600-700 exp on LOSSES and have a pathetic 20% win rate.

Also trying to win on the churchill VII is really bringing down my win rate. I'm pretty much at the mercy of the MM in that tank, there's NOTHING you can do to affect the game if you're not the top tier.

so weird, i had my best weekend in ages.. moved up a point in Win/loss. Solo pubbing is such a love/hate.. i have had so many games being 4-5 tanks down in like 3 minutes of start.. I would love to see the game match by some skill rating too. I don't need 4 players with 30% win ratio's charging across open fields on my team all the time.. cant they split those guys up? I would feel better if battles ended with 2-3 tanks on one side .. but when I'm on losing side it always seems like its like 8 left on their side to last guy on ours.

no doubt solo pubbing is test of ones ability (not gaming) but dealing with stupid people.. And I think its catchy after 3-4 losses in a row.. I start to get stupid too.

I didnt do too bad in my T54 but then I only played it each day long enough to get the 5x. It did seem like people either lemming or camped base and not much in between for strategy. Now it should be back to something near normal. Until the next patch anyway. This week or next I guess.

This weekend has been rough. I had 60% win rate solo pubbing last 2k games but could barely hold 50% win rate for the 5x event. I only seemed to win battles were I was the first to die or get one shot.

On the other hand, my GF is a terrible player and had a 85% win rate...

I am also about to choose between Chinese light or medium line? any suggestion on which line is more fun and easier to grind?

I am doing all 3 lines in parallel. Up to tier 6-7, I suggest to do the same but I like medium line the most so far.

 

[Harabec]

I've had terrible matches during the X5 event.

Regardless...I'm currently reading Killing Rommel. A very nice story (based on real life notes with some additions) depicting the harsh desert conditions and the chase after Rommel.

This one (translated to Hebrew though)

 

[Possessed Freak]

Solo pub I did something like 70%. Granted that was playing some OP tanks (like my Bison). Platooned we did pretty damn well.

17 games is how many it took me to get 2 wins. I got lucky yesterday and got a win in my first few game so 3-18.

On the victorious games I got a ton of exp as well, averaging around 5000-7000 on the 5x. I almost lost my way up to the new turret, which is what I imagine all these morons in their tier 9s with 500 eff ratings did.

For all the flak XVM gets, it's pretty damn accurate in determining how good a player is. It's saved my ass a bunch of times, knowing that if I kill the unicum leading the charge the rest will fall apart or stop advancing.

Heh nice, I got a steel wall in my VK3601 over the weekend, and I really have no idea how with tiers 6-8 in that battle.

 

[PowerYoga]

In all my games of churchill, I think I've only gotten 1 steel wall.

Did some testing with the churchill VII with my friend over the weekend. I told him to use the T1E6 (the gift tank from new years).

HE TOOK ME DOWN TO 50% HEALTH BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF BULLETS.

Fuck this tank. Seriously.

 

[Nintendesert]

Lol, I got a steel wall in my Matilda. They hit me 31 times.

 

[chimaxi83]

One of my best scouting matches in a T-50-2, with an extra 2000 xp for Patrol Duty special going right now. Still only about half of some of the best scout matches I've seen, but it's a start

 

[chimaxi83]

And right after that, what should have been a great T28 Prot round, brought down by a terribad team. I even accidentally used all 10 gold rounds lol :'(

 

[Harabec]

I'm tired of high tier arty...thinking of ditching T9, going up the german TD line and just having fun with the T8 couple.

 

[PowerYoga]

mid tier is now ruined by HEAT derping everythings. I make it my priority to kill anything running a derp cannon first, even at the cost of other tanks shooting at me.

I think the only realistically fun tiers now is tier 7~8 and tier 1-3. They need to fix HEAT asap.

Hehe got a quick game in this morning before work with the M4. 5 kills

Ill milk the fun until it goes away.

Tehy won't fix HEAT...they will nerf the VK2801 (speed, mobility, amour) and call it a tier 6...but it will still have it's 105 mm DERP ^^

I have adapted...it's gone from active scout/mobile support to flanker/passivescout/mobilesupport in my playstyle already...and it works...strange nerf though.

 

[PowerYoga]

Not talking about the VK2801. It needs the heat rounds to be competetive.

I'm talking about PZIV, Shermans, hetzers and stugs that can one shot everything its tier and above with a 6 second reload time with rounds that don't bounce. It's basically direct fire arty for its tier and it's what the tier 10 british TDs will look like. Both break the game.

It really is broken. With gold I will pen 99% of the time. Though I did bounce off the back of an M4 turret the other night to deny me another 5 kills match.

With the old 152mm KV derp at least it loaded like an arty piece before it sent a PZIV to heaven. The M4 derp is like the E50's gun in T5 lol

Surprisingly I havent seen hordes of M4s running around in my games. I'd think something so blatently overpowered would fill up the matches. I prefer it that way. Less competition
