[MMO] World of Tanks

[microAmp]

Finally got the AMX 13 75 done, pulled my win rate to 58% and not even a 0.50% away from 2nd Mark of Excellence on it, I still don't like it. Still irritating about low amounts of shots penetrating IS-3s, Tiger 2, let alone tier 9s like E-75, referring to side shots on them.

Now playing the AMX 13 90 I'm shocked by the long reload of that guy with the 90mm.

About 65k XP and done with the On Track but probably fall well short of being about to buy the Lorraine for 30% off. Still, credits saved counts.

 

[microAmp]

OMG! I finally, some how, completed the SPG-11 for T28 Concept mission!

With 1 shot, hit 3 targets.

I have no idea how, one must have been hidden and minor track damage to another or something. What a horrible mission that was.

I was getting to the point of just holding my shots and hoping a 3 people would align up correctly.

I finally found a way to enjoy the Aufkl. Panther.

Stay in the back and snipe or intercept enemy light tanks trying to go for our artillery, and then in middle game make a rush for enemy artillery or circle enemy strong points and harass them from behind.

Rush/front scout always got me killed.

I'm not loving this bulldog as much as I thought I would.

I'm bottom dog 80% of the time and that means 150 damage to the big dogs, if I pen at all (from the front). It's nice if I can get behind them or fight against the light tanks, but even if I get behind the big dogs that's only 200-250 damage 4 seconds at a time...and then I die because my armor is paper thin.

10k more XP until autoloader...

in a match, about 5-6 tier 7 on each side, couple six and fives...and ours also included two tier 1.

WTF

It's called a fail platoon. So for this one, a tier 5, 6, or 7 tank platooned up with two tier 1s, thought it was funny or something.

Sometimes you get a light tank who is a t6 (MM sees them as a T7 medium) and a t6 heavy. Now that t6 heavy is in a t9 game.

Had one with a T95 and tier 3 tank....

People think it is funny or they believe they can power level lowbies. If I am playing T8 and a T1 shows up. I ram the T1 to death right out of the gate.

I normally bully the higher tier tank since it will most likely lose money if it under-performs. The *really* sad thing is that they still have not programmed a fix for this 2 games later (World of Warships). It is as if they are completely unaware of how much frustration it is for the rest of the team.

No, they're aware. They just don't give a shit.

It should be impossible for a T1 to join a T8 game. Although I did see a T1 in a T6 game last night. No clue how that happened.

It has been years since I played on a regular basis. So maybe they implemented a safeguard against that. It used to happen about once every couple hundred games.

I saw a Cunningham in a T6 game, and he even managed to bag a kill.

 

[Skott]

Kill the T1 tanks in a fail platoon on sight. They'll hate you but less likely to do it in the future. Just no good excuse for them to be doing that sort of crap. Its what I do. Let them get out away from the base circle first though. Less chance of WG's bans. >

 

[lupi]

I didn't check at the time, but as the map was starting I noticed because one of the tier 1s complained about two tier 1s being in the match.

 

[biostud]

Sometimes you just know, you play a very little role... Aufkl. Panzer on small map, mostly tier X tanks, and no arty...

Am I the only one that calls those "awful panzers"?

Not that they are, they work fine as a heavy scout. Its just the way I read it every time I see the name for some reason

In other news, I finally decided to go down the road of tank destroyers. Decided to start with hetzer since I already had the Panzer 38NA tech tree unlocked. And thus far, I really like it. Certainly taking some adjustments in game play, have to switch in out and out sniper view a lot. Had a great game last night, was 2nd place with three kills in a Tier 6 match. Looking forward to moving on to the Stug though.

no, recognize the name from the recon elements in the OOBs

I did this once for my son and a freind of his. I was in an E 75 and they were in M3 Lee's. They never played in anything higher than tier 6 and i towed them along. Needless to say i got a lot of grief for doing that from the rest of the team. We won with my E 75 doing more than it part to win but i told my son to sign up for test server if he wanted to see what higher tiers are like. That's what he did.

once you get the autoloader, it's game on. One of my first games with it: tier 10 match, 3k damage, 4 kills.

 

[slag]

I got the T25-AT last night. Seems like a poor man's E25 with half the speed and less damage output.

 

[PowerYoga]

Not really fair to compare the T25-AT to one of the best tanks in the game...

I hope so, because I had to wipe the bad taste of bulldog out of my mouth with some patton action.


All this because I want a T57 heavy...

 

[Stuka87]

They are way easier to kill than an E25. The T25-AT has a giant week spot on the front armor (The view port). Very easy to take out with even T4's provided they have a half decent gun.

The E25 has a super low silhouette, is fast, has a great gun, and is really just good all around.

E25 isn't really what you'd compare to a T25 AT. The T25AT competes more with the JPanther. Even the Su-122-44 would be a better comparison.

 

[datalink7]

Just had a pretty good game in my T-54. Got a Radley Walters. My 7th Radley, but I think that's my highest tier.
