[MMO] World of Tanks

[Possessed Freak]

It's no surprise the leo 1 is a favorite amongst good players.

For CHAI snipers sure. The Leo falls very quickly if it is shot at. The Russian mediums have a LOT more staying power.

Two notable things finally done.

Ace Tanker in T57 Heavy:
http://wotreplays.com/site/1804043#siegfried_line-microamp-t57_heavy_tank
Took 6.9k damage to do it and 94k credits gross.

HT-15: 2nd campaign done.
Used my trusty bouncing E-100 and blocked 8k damage.

The game was a loss but HT-15 done.

Just down to 5 missions left (LT-15, MT-14/15 and TD-14/15) and done with 2nd campaign. Yes, I play dirty artillery

When you disable XVM's stats and just do your best each game, WoT becomes much less frustrating.

Yeah, I don't care about stats, but playing an important role in the game is more fun then insta-death

The bonus to winning is significantly better than the bonus of damage and losing.

I don't switch to premium rounds until I know I have to punch through hard targets at range, or I am in super carry mode (can't afford to bounce once).

There are exceptions, I shoot almost all premium rounds out of the E100, 183, and the mighty M3 Lee. I barely ever shoot premium rounds out of TDs (except the 183).

True!

Got the big gun on my T25 and it is a lot better than the old 90. Reticle seems snappier and it can do damage, but isn't as accurate it appears. Still a good tradeoff. I'm able to easily damage the tiger tanks now.

I also downloaded the bluestealth addon and it is awesome. I had to change the enemy tanks from purple to red though as it was hard to see them.

 

[lupi]

If you're in an arty and need to do the self defense direct fire, how do you use the reticle? I'm seeing my shots either hit the dirt right before me or sail into the air.

 

[PowerYoga]

aim if you can, otherwise just let rngesus take the wheel. If your team let the scout through you're probably fucked anyway. If the scout doesn't get you the other team's arty will.

lol, starting loading premium rounds into the bulldog yesterday due to this thread.

so fun, so expensive.

I am the world's worst T20 player. So much so, that I can't see myself grinding to the Pershing.

 

[Harabec]

I enjoyed it, and the rest of the line (recently rebought the M46 and kicking butt in it).

How are you playing the T20? Maybe we can help (upload a replay or 2 to wotreplays and we can see)

I did really well with the T20... http://www.vbaddict.net/commanders.php?countryid=2&tankid=6&order=desc&sort=won_lost&

Do you have all the modules unlocked? Also avoid getting shot, it has almost no armor.

I started out playing it like I play my Easy 8, but that wasn't working against the higher tiers. Everything's unlocked, all the proper gear, crew 100+. I'm using the 90 now. I did better with the 76, but that's boring. I'll probably barracks the crew, unload the modules and buy a St Emil.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Anyone getting random vram usage spikes?Typically maximum 768p standard+8x AA peaks about 1.2gb on my rig but i got a slowdown and couldn't help but notice i was hitting near 1.9gb in a battle.Went back to menu to still sit around 1.6gb.

Not a big deal for my 970 but my buddy has had constant random lock ups and crashes on his 2gb 770 at 1080p,i feel this vram issue i found is related to the problem.

A couple replays to share:

E-25 Ace (it could have been even better but a half second got the tank shot):

You should get use to the T20 its pretty much the same as the pershing. The only difference being that it has less armor but better mobility than it. I found the T20 to be a better tank overall than the pershing but thats just my opinion.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Hey Venom, you still in that event over in Warsaw?

Lupi - defensive fire in arty, leave arty mode, right click on enemy, wait for reticle to get as small as you dare and fire.

 

[slag]

My 7 yr old got 6 kills in a game yesterday while I was watching. He's not a bad player!

Zeven reviewed on of my replays.

13 90 on Stalingrad. I felt that I could have won it, even though it was a loss. He did help point out some things that I could improve on.

1. I tunnel visioned and didn't notice the 2nd Waffle, instead chasing down a 13 90.

2. I drove derpy at one point because I wasn't watching where I was going.

3. I should have been more patient so that I could get the 183 in an exposed position.

4. My approach to the E75 at the end should have been more direct. Maybe I could have taken one less shot if I'd done so.

Was interesting to be critiqued on stream in front of a bunch of people.

Here is my replay (so you can go look at the post game stats if you wish):

[stag3]

man you can stat pad like crazy in the LTTB. i'm just playing it as i grind for the T54 L

 

[Stuka87]

Best game I have ever had in my Tiger (was actually a week ago, but was out of town so couldn't post it). I had spent most of the game guarding the southern flank, and for whatever reason nobody on their team went that way. So after a bit the only other tanks left was the Tiger II, AMX 50/100, and the Lorr. So went up to help the Tiger II and AMX. Killed the IS3 the Tiger II was fighting just as he died. Then went to help the AMX and he died. I managed to take out the other six members of their team to end up with seven total kills. Some of them had full health. It was like one of the magical moments where everything goes perfectly. Doubt I will top this any time soon.

 

[datalink7]

Nice one Stuka. The Tiger I can be a beast in the right situation. Great DPM on that gun.

 

[datalink7]

Also, I just got my HTC. Light Tank 15 was the last one to go down. 5k spotting, plus 2 tanks destroyed while spotted. Got it done on Murovanka. I thought it wouldn't be a good map for it because the magical forest fight is too close to get good spotting. But my team completely derped and sent NO ONE to the forest. Bad strategy to win the match, good for me to get spots though. I sad in a bush near our cap and spotted half the enemy team as they exited the forest. Got 7k spotting done. Completed with honors.

Still lost. And my WN8 was 145 since I only fired 1 shot the whole game and it didn't pen.

Played 1 game in the HTC. Was top Tier, and got steel wall. I think that if it isn't top tier it will probably not be good, but top tier it was kind a fun. Might play it on occasion (whereas the Stug I haven't even touched).

Now on to the T55a!

Yup, flying out tomorrow. I'm playing with Rulette, same team as the China tournament. I need to bug everyone for photos from the trips (my phone sucks).

Been pretty crazy going from a regular player to playing in 3 live tournaments (with about 50 thousand dollars of team winnings so far) within a couple months.
