The crashes in 9.0 are just PISSING ME OFF! I was doing my daily double bonus in my KV-1 last night and was in a Tier 5 battle (rare anymore), so I knew I was going to just dominate. Well, my team sucked. It was on ruinburg in standard battle mode.
I at least waited at our base until the rest of the team found the bulk of the enemy (since a KV1 is too slow to pick the wrong side of the map and move over to help the other side and too slow to come back to defend base if I go and attack, etc). So unfortunately both field and city were being attacked by the enemy, but the bulk of their forces were city, so I moved to fight them. By the time I get there, everyone on my team was already dead, leaving me alone against 6 tanks (a KV1, a Stugg, a M4, a T49, and two light tanks that I don't remember).
The KV1 was just under full health, and lumbered across one of the roads in front of me. I hit him with a shot that tracked him and did ~140 damage. While he was still turning his turret to aim at me, I hit him again. The stugg popped up and started firing at me I bounced his shot. I fired a third shot on the KV1 and light him on fire (he fired his shot and bounced, before the fire killed him). I then turned on the Stugg (who was a full health). I hit him and tracked him so he couldn't pull back behind cover. We then traded blows, with him doing about 100 damage on that shot. His next shot bounced (I was able to angle better against him since the KV1 was now dead). And I then killed him on the next shot before he could reload (I use the 85mm?, the one that is highest pen and highest dps because the KV1 gets into too many tier 7 fights now, you need the penetration to be useful). The M4 and T49 move to flank while this is happening, with the 2 lights taking pop shots the entire time (and bouncing). The M4 was heavily damaged and I one shot him as he turned the corner to aim at me. I moved up and use the reckage of the M4 and KV1 as cover (they were next to each other).
By this point the other flank had failed and I am the only one left on my team against 2 arty, the 2 lights that were in city, the T49, and 3 more lights that were on the other flank. The T49 and the 2 lights in the city were flanking me and essentially tag-team pop-tarting me (their best chance of winning), but I backed into an alcove between buildings to only have my front armor exposed at bad angles to both sides of the street. Where-in I was bouncing everything they were firing, and let me focus on shooting one of them at a time. Both lights were already damaged, and I was able to 1 shot one of them.
I then push out of the alcove to get a better shot on the T49, but he backs away. At this point, I am thinking that an arty might be trying something like moving up to try and blap me from behind. I guess right, because I moved back to the other edge of the street (by the fountain), and caught one of the arty in the open making a run for the fountain. He fired while he was moving which means he completely missed. I stopped for 1/2 a second and aimed properly and hit him, then moved, and the other arty's shell hit the spot where I had stopped to shoot the first arty, and missed me completely. I then kill the one arty that was caught in the open and moved back up the far street towards my base, where 1 of the enemy tanks had started to cap. When I get back to one of the cross streets that goes towards the base, the T49 was waiting and hit me taking me down to about 240hp. I returned fire doing some damage, and angled on him. His second shot bounced, and the other light in city pops up behind me and tracks my rear. I shoot at the T49 and kill him (ammo rack I believe, as he had ~200hp), and I start turning my turret towards the light tank. When he tried to move back behind cover, he ran over some of the rubble on the road and got caught up on it as it wouldn't let him move back and he had to start to turn to get off it. This gave me the time to swing my turret around and blap him.
I move back up the road towards base, and one of the lights came charging down to attack me. I bounced his shot and one shoot him and continue moving back to defend. As I get closer, I can see the back end of the light tank that was capping peaking out over some of the rubble. I aim and track him, resetting the base capture. I move forward to get a better angle on him and then two shot him before his track repairs (his turret was behind cover from my position and couldn't even get a shot off). The moment he dies, CRASH!
And I start cursing. I get the game restarted, and start loading the map (and see that I am still alive), get 1/2 way into the reload, and CRASH! Restart again, get a fraction into the map reload, and CRASH.... I then crash 5 more times!!!! I finally get back into the game and the match is over with a draw... I don't have my exact damage, but I have 8 kills, high calibur, sniper, steel wall, defender, top gun, and some other award.... I did get >50,000 credits and over 1000 exp... But dammit, I could have killed those last 2. They didn't even try to kill me I am guessing when I went into crash fest otherwise they would have seen that I wasn't moving at all....
