[MMO] World of Tanks

[Tsavo]

I stopped playing the M3 Lee...too much pain. 13.8% win with it. Bought the Ram II which is decently fun for me. Also, I'm not getting rolled nearly as much and have more than tripled the amount of pain that I dish out. This is good, because it looks like I'm going to be in T5 for a while. Also, far more good players than before. Still lots of muppets, but not nearly so muppet top heavy now.

2 to 1, our favor. Last guy on their team had 6 kills, 14% life left. Was in close combat with him and was ONE shot away from killing him, and he was dead in my sights. Just as I pulled the trigger, the damned ARTY drove in front of me and soaked up my shot. Other guy's reload had finished, and down I went. Our nice little 10+ min battle lost LOST due to one single muppet.

Fun game, though.

lol i should have known better than to try and play this weekend during 3x.
6/22 today ugh

 

[PowerYoga]

i stopped after 6-7 terrible games. I won about half of them but I was terribly ineffective, just didn't have it in me I guess.

On Track to the Object 140, completed, 250k XP...

Got close to getting 95% Mark of Excellence on my T-44, peaked at 93% and tanked down to high 80's.

T-44 and T-54, rolled at 60% win rates, guess those are my kind of tanks.

Bought the 140, put my 1st girl crew in it, just need platoons to do rest of Individual Missions.

 

[stag3]

yea i haven't claimed my girl crews yet, i'm thinking French for the new french medium line
since i'll be converting my 5 American radio operators into the E3

 

[Hoober]

Personal missions seem a bit challenging for the potential reward. I'd like a chick crew, but hate fulfilling some of those objectives -- particularly the LT ones. Hate light tanks.

[Creig]

Well, I plan to keep doing the personal missions until I get the Object 260. From all accounts, it's better than either the IS4 or IS7. It's actually a CW viable tank. I think I'm around 6 missions now from getting the T28 HTC, so I'll be starting on the T55A missions soon.

 

[datalink7]

I had to take a break from the game for a while so I'm still getting the Stug. I'm close though. Last mission for the medium tanks, and first platoon mission for light tanks (just need to find some arty players to toon with).

I'd like the OBJ 260 as well.

 

[Tsavo]

I put a Derp Gun on my M4 and hit a Chaffee so hard at PBR that he simply...evaporated LMAO. This game is good for some really LOL moments.

 

[stag3]

yea, the T49 is the new derp, not a great tank but just a fun tank whenever you feel like fucking around

 

[VenomXTF]

The T49 is either super fun (one shot a full hp tank and laugh so hard) or super frustrating (when it misses 5 fully aimed in shots in a row).

Any of you guys watch the WGLNA (Gold League) streams?

I have been. The problem, which became apparent even to the broadcasters, is that even with the changes to two caps, and the 7/54 format... there are only so many strats. The defense on dorf is *painful* to watch. Always the same damn thing, camp NW corner and wait for the attacker to try to break through. Wooo this is exciting.

I also noticed a distinct decline in skill on the teams in this year. Really basic things like focus fire is missing with some of these teams. Prior years, it seemed a lot more skillful on ALL participants.

Thank god they fixed the tie breaker from the idiotic wedges in the center of campinova (worst idea ever).

I agree about Himmels, not enjoying playing that map at all on attack or def. The caps are too close to each other so everyone can just camp in one corner and watch both. But at least there is variation in tank lineups.

There are a lot of new teams/players this season. A lot of them should probably not be in the gold league (based on my experience playing with some of them in skirmishes/etc previously). Unfortunately there are a lot of really good players that don't want to invest the time playing in WGLNA. So this is not exactly the best of the best competing.

BTW I'm AkulaV from LAMP.

i've missed shots where i'm literally next to the tank and there's no way in hell the shell could go anywhere but into a tank hahahaha but whatevers, this tank is fun.
you just can't carry in this tank

Best of luck to you. FYI if you are playing against Cunnighams, AMartin still has a hard time reacting in a timely fashion. He has done this since I was under him in CW's. He has a tendency to over think and put his tanks in a holding pattern. He is a great strategist (his plans are pretty darn good) but not too tactical.

Thanks! Already beat them in regular season (we broke their undefeated run). Might get to play them again in the finals though

I hit my goal of 100M credits the other day...

Highest I ever got was in the 50s, but then blown on equipment or whatnot. Now I am sub 100k credits because I have been dicking around with tier 10 arty in pubs chasing missions.

Oh, and enjoy that civil war thingy. Should be fun too. I keep thinking I should join up with a clan again just for that epic war, but then I think... nah I will only last a week before getting pissed off at something and drop tags.

Such wealth, super amaze!

ps. Hows the 110, best tier 8 HT?

It's like an IS3 but faster reload and less alpha, stronger front armor and weaker side armor. Both good tanks.

 

[stag3]

haha damn 100m credits shiet
highest i've gotten was 30 or so mil but then i had to buy like 5-6 tier Xs and it all went away

Type 62 + 30 days of premium for $50....

Type 62 - ONE DAY ONLY
$49.99
VII Type 62 Type 62
Garage Slot
30 Days of Premium + 4,000

Premium = $12.50
Gold = $15

So tank + slot = $22.50

 

[datalink7]

Is the Type 62 any good?

 

[VenomXTF]

It's a WZ-131 with the second gun that makes more credits/xp... not bad but not really great either.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Hey Venom, did you do that China thing yet? If so, how was it?
