How do you play the bagel? Do you just hang back and pick off people?

I just got my Sherridan. ATGMs are a lot of fun. They're way more responsive and faster than you'd think. You can also slam them into people's faces from 5 feet away.

I play it the way I play other light tanks: Help your team break through enemy lines via supporting fire (in the Bagel's case, ATGM fire) and then zip around picking off weakened enemies/artillery/etc coming from directions they don't expect.

Feindfeuer posted:Still I doubt anyone here would really oppose this, but everyone just realize that this is too much of a reduction to the grind to be ever implemented by any F2P publisher. Well, you could only extend the benefit to premium accounts. That, or tie the choosable double to a time limited boost.

How do you use ATGMs? I seem to miss a lot with them, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

-Troika- posted:I'm not upset about it, I just want people mad at me for being a goon rather than mad at me for stealing some WoT clan's name. Who is mad at you? Did we all miss something?? It's your loot man and your reasons are perfectly valid, but FFS no need to be so toxic about it. There is no need for this to turn into a mess over what clan is better because this or that. I'll fold CHAI and be done with it if this is where it is going to lead. demonR6 fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Or something Also I'd really like an invite to any goon clan with space on the NA server - Stringbeans in game e: vvvvv no no I agree completely, it's not like there isn't any way to platoon with different goon groups vvv Stringbean fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Oct 15, 2015 |

To anyone unfortunate enough to be grinding the T-72A right now: One piece of good news, the turret of the Leo 2AV has 510 effective protection against AP, but only 310 against HEAT, your best heat round has 334mm of pen. Enjoy punching holes through hull-down Leopard 2 avs

Ambaire posted:I haven't unlocked it yet, but is the Begleitpanzer 57 completely OP or is it just me? Sure, it's a squishy light tank, but it has a gun that can do 12,000 dpm... 209 damage @ 67.5 rounds per minute... I suppose the caveat is it only has 140 pen, so sides and backs only.

Go to dealers, then right click on any of the tanks and click detail. It will give you armor values for front/side/rear and then under it will also be a multiplier will be modifiers. You take the armor number listed and multiple it by the multiplier to get the effective thickness. Dandywalken posted:I, however, do not! My highest tier tank is an AFV so I am biased.

There is a button with 3 lines on the right of the screen, click it to get some stats, then switch to the armor tab. It will let you switch between the different ammo types.

So, since the 50/100 cap hasn't been fixed yet for existing clans, how much of a PITA is it to delete and try to recreate one? Is it worth the effort or should we just wait and see if they figure it out in the near future? I see a lot of people asking for invites on NA. Are both CHAI/GOONS full yet?

I like how almost nobody ever uses repair kits in this game. If you track someone at the start of the game, they'll just sit there while your whole team stops, aims, and buries them in ordnance.

3 days in and I found the upgrade screen. I like this game, the spotting can get a little annoying when your team isn't spotting poo poo, and most of the terrain is too bumpy to enjoy sitting in the back with a TD, but the early tier matches have still been fun and not goofy little turds shooting autocannons at each other.

In other news, and as a surprise to no one, PvE pubbies are universally terrible. Sheridan sitting in the open trading shots with the entire AI force and being obliterated? Check. T-72 sitting still 'tanking' enemy MBTs instead of peek and poke and dying as well? Check. It's .. ugh. At least I'm not penalized by terrible teammates quite as much as in WoT.

Apparently the devs haven't sorted out the issue where buying collectors on NA somehow dumps it on EU

So between that, the clan cap bug, and the questionable bug fixes for payouts I'm starting to think the whole last patch was a lie.

I think they hinted at some Clan War crap like WoT. I hope they don't do that and instead focus on the team battle type stuff WoT has started doing.

Is the tier6 BMPT Terminator really founders pack exclusive can't get it again? Because that is complete unmitigated bullshit considering what an OP tank it is. If I'd heard about this game one day earlier I could have gotten that pack...

I'd rather fight 3 terminators then an XM1. Terminators have no HP so you can just shoot them in their turrets for half damage gently caress it. They are easy to kill. The turret traverse on the bagel can gently caress off jesus its bad. BadLlama fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Always shoot Terminators in the turret. That thing has like 30mm armor, it's weak as gently caress. The thing only has about 1k health, so it doesn't even matter. Pretty great in PvE since bots seem to aim for hulls more.

Evil_Greven posted:Always shoot Terminators in the turret. That thing has like 30mm armor, it's weak as gently caress. The problem I have with T6rminators, especially in PvE, is that I autobounce unless I'm shooting that narrow flat strip on the front or the back. I've shot 400pen sabot at everywhere on their sides, never penned anywhere. And the turret is such a small target especially if they're moving a lot. I guess it's one of those things where when you're trying to kill it, it seems OP because you can't figure out where to shoot it but when you're driving it, everyone else read the super secret guide to killing your specific tank. Speaking of which, you know the colorized armor thickness guides people made for World of Tanks? How long do you figure it will be until some are out for AW? Are they already? Edit: Stuff like this Deutsch Nozzle posted:The spotting mechanics in this are starting to wear on me. Being able to spot/be spotted through terrain and cover is terrible. As near as I can figure, your tank has an invisible sphere projected around it and anything inside that sphere is auto spotted even on the other side of hangars on airfield. It seems to be around 50m. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Autocannon scouts are hard as balls to play in this game. Passive scouting isn't that great ( with few exceptions ), so you're forced to active scout. On some maps, this means charging into a good spot from the beginning and committing to it. The problem with this is that people in this game respond to a nearby tank the same way my dog responds to a piece of meat being dropped on the floor. They will beeline straight at it, ignoring everything else, and lay into your rear end- which means you're hosed if they're an MBT and your autocannon can't pierce them. More often than not, I get into a good spot, get some lights, and then a MBT yolos up into me. My team shoots him ( most of the time ), he loses almost all of his HP or dies, but I'm also left crippled or dead. Or you get trapped in a corner and you're forced to plink at things with AP, or whittle away small amounts of HP with HE. I can't wait until I have a scout with missiles so I can at least give some MBTs an incentive to step off when I'm scouting.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:The spotting mechanics in this are starting to wear on me. Being able to spot/be spotted through terrain and cover is terrible. Agreed. The bubble mentioned may be a big part of it. But then again, this game also doesnt have a "Radio Range" like WoT tanks did which keeps you from sharing the entire map's spots. I'm not sure if thats for the best or not.
