You don't have to wait until the end of the battle to leave the match and it's not my job to care whether someone wants to play as many matches as possible.

I'd rather play the game right instead of rushing to die or some stupid shit just to get the next battle over with.

Those stupid devs. Don't even know how their own game should be played. What an epic failure, giving people the option to cap and all. :awe:

Capping should be done when the only tanks left on one side cannot kill the remaining tanks. (like a Hummel sneaking across the map to cap instead of kill the T29 who's looking for him)

Tried playing my E-50 again tonight. I just have no luck with this tank. I get one shotted by arty and whenever I get to shoot one of them all I seem to garner is a crit with no damage.That pisses me off to no end! The heavies rip my tank to shreds and the other mediums just too fast to do much against them much of the time. I've tried to have fun with this tank but just no enjoyment. I've tried dog fighting with it. Its not good for that. I've tried flanking with it but the thing is just too slow to get up to a good speed. I've tried sniping with it and its good for that as long as you dont get one shotted by arty. Those damn GW Tigers just kill the E-50 with a single hit. I regret grinding for it now. Time wasted. Glad I spent no gold on it. That would be doubly insulting. And I don't care what anyone says the E-50 simply does not bounce shots as much as they say it does. Sure, it bounces occasionally but no where near the hype people are spouting about. I've tried angling the front this way and that but it doesn't seem to help. It just doesn't. Last German medium I really enjoyed playing a lot was the 3002DB. Far as I'm concerned the Russian mediums are still best mediums in this game and I'm thinking the Americans are No. 2. Only played up to the T-20 but I have seen what the Pershings and the Patton can do against me. A real shame they nerfed the E-50 before it got out the gate. I plan to try and get to the Patton and see how it feels. I know they are a tough medium to fight against.

Capping should be done when the only tanks left on one side cannot kill the remaining tanks.)

So instead you would rather run around a map blindly looking for ONE last enemy tank for the remaining time... instead of knowing exactly where the enemy is when they start to cap. Right.

Skott, i was in the exact same position as you until i unlocked the turret and 10,5 cannon. my research was tracks/turret/gun, engine.
the gun makes you a pain in the ass no matter what. helps you grind for the last engine much quicker. things do not get great until you have those 4 things. the last engine lets me get to choke points/hills faster than T54's so i'm setup waiting for them and always get the first shot in.

i do not fear any mediums 1v1, i can always take them out. you can play the e50 like a t54 once you get the final engine. up until the final engine i pretty much played it like a panther II sniping as you're to slow to flank.

as for bouncing, yea this thing bounces a hair more than the panther II which bounces nothing at all so i don't get how others are saying it bounces, i've tried hull down, angled, wiggling, didn't make a diff really. i currently have rammer/vents/optics. i'd probably use binocs in place of optics until you get the last engine.

the e50 is the tank i have the most fun in now, i've been able to take out is7's and E75's easily 1v1 by circle strafing them, i do have a problem with maus's tho as their armor and hp are just to high (HE or not)

From the T54 side, it's the last and first tank I want to fight. It's the first tank I want to fight because I know it will usually be a good fun dog fight that doesn't end with 2 or 3 shots... It's the last tank I want to come up against because it seems to have an easier time killing my T54 than any other tank in the game, except for the big arty of the game... but in the E50 or T54 or any other medium for that matter, you should never be sitting still long enough for the arty to get you.

Tried to get started on the T32 grind last night. Was able to drop in the top engine and radio, but can't use the 105 until I unlock tracks. It has to be one of the worst stock tanks... Its as bad as the P2... EVERYTHING pens it. Hoping it improves substantially with the upgraded turret.

yea it's good battles, i've had a ton against t54's and its always fun angling/moving for shots, still takes a good 5+ shots as you will get random bounces. and once 1 of us dies the other person usually msg's "GOOD DOGFIGHT"

unless it's ruined by another tank nearby kill stealing or getting artied haha

Loving my Marder II right now. Finally getting the hang of how to play TDs. Played 5 games last night. Survived 4 of the 5 and avg'd 2 kills per match while doing a lot of damage to other tanks. Went 4-1 over that span as well. 300 exp from getting the 76mm gun!

I have everything but the last engine. I'm just not enjoying the tank at all. Its probably fine in a wolf pack group but I don't platoon up in this game much anymore. Personally, I think its over hyped and I'm not impressed with it at all. Right now my survivability stat rate is pretty darn low at 22%. That's pretty bad even for me. Usually in a bad tank I can pull a 45%-49% number average. The next patch has a fix for it. Not fully sure what they are fixing. I'm thinking its the mudflap issue the way they described it but we'll have to wait and see.

i think they're fixing the mudflap issue as well as the arty issue where it takes 1400-1500 damage per hit even if it's just splash damage and not direct.

i don't really wolf pack unless other meds follow me, i prefer to lone wolf it as it's easier to stay hidden that way

The Marder II is one of those tanks you should never get rid of because it is truly a monster. If you get 100% crew, camo, binocs, optics and the 76mm on that baby you can pick a bush in the middle of the map and kill everything you see. When you start getting games where you get both Scout and Top Gun, you'll understand.

Yeah, same here. I do what I can to help the team and win but I do it in my own way.

Nope. Also should be done if your team is fucking stupid and there's no chance in hell you're going to win unless you can cap because there's 7 tanks rolling into your base. Rather take a win than a loss any day.

Though it is really annoying when you're destroying the other team and the game ends to a cap. Happened to me 2 nights ago, was having a really fun fight in the middle of komarin and suddenly the game ends. Really a killjoy.

You know, you can whine and bitch all you want over it. It's not going to change anything.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

And I don't really give two shits about 7 tanks on our base capping. I'm still going to be roaming around looking for something to kill.

Hell, if there are 7 tanks on our base, then that gives me a chance to go back to base and knock off points from the cap by pounding them with shells. If they want to cap, fine, they can stay in that tiny ass little circle while I rain hellfire down on them.

...or they can spot me and kill me immediately, whatever.

Either way, I'm going to be yelling at my teammates to fall back to base if they're in range and help defend.

Derp.

You know that never happens. Your teammates are too busy fighting the one OBJ704 somewhere in the distance or hiding behind a little lump of rock from that little t-34.

Yep.... Stock turret can mount the 105, but the tracks don't have enough capacity.
