Once the sensors around the turret regocnize they are beeing painted you can hit a button and the turret automatically faces the threat and starts shining infrared party lights in your ATGM equipment.

The BMD-1 not having its magnesium hull is a shame. It'd be neat killing them with a single HEAT round as the entire vehicle goes up in flames.

Ok everyone. Sit down this may shock you. Obsidian just posted thisquote:We have performed a thorough analysis of the data collected in the recent stages of Early Access as well as during the first days of Head Start, taking into account the fact that not all the progression mechanisms were revealed and activated yet – this specifically concerns the Military Base progress bonuses as well as the Booster packs (which will be obtainable either by purchasing them or by gameplay means). I know we are not used to devs actually changing things in tank games but here we are in a brave new world. Playing high tier tanks and not having to worry about going broke and getting there quicker

that's hyperbolic nonsense. If you poo poo the bed in a t10 tank in WoT you're down at least 20k + consumables even on premium.

So drive lower tier stuff/premium tanks to make money for their top tier plagueplay. Or they convert gold directly into credits. I suppose you could say they don't, lose as much as they should, but then again WG is interested in keeping paying customers.

with artillery smoke rounds do they actually provide lasting concealment or do they just break spotting for an instant like smoke grenades seem to? I'm trying to figure out how worthwhile they are. More importantly, do you get exp/creds for using support rounds correctly

I am very pleased with the fact that they upped PVE rewards. I am a bad player but would still like to have cool tanks so being able to relax in PVE for a while and unlock cool (and I would say fun tanks but let's be honest, low tier tanks are also super fun) tanks without having to get angry at pubbies and myself in PVP. This is my opinion.

I agree with this opinion. PVE is good fun and great for testing new tanks or being chill. Soon I'll put more time into PVP, at least to let pubbies know that CHAIA are a bunch of wannabe tryhards. I bet they don't even like tea.

So you think it's a cool and good idea to make the grind considerably worse because theoretically it might make it take more work for a demographic defined by working harder not smarter to do one particular thing? Why don't you support a ranked game mode or something that isn't directly loving everyone over in return for a minor side effect that you want. Because right now you're basically supporting taking chemo as an alternative to shaving your scalp.

Not having grindy poo poo is great, but I am concerned for a F2P to survive financially with-out said grind poo poo to bypass via $$$$ Also are ATGM buggy or do I just not know what I am doing? Half the time when I fire them they just crash into the ground and I see no missile? BadLlama fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Oct 5, 2015 |

Jack_tripper posted:does upping the payout for spotting and doing damage make the grind worse? I think that would be largely irrelevant. Again, the fail to the top crowd is literally defined by its willingness to play way too many battles just to drive high tier tanks. If you really want them out, actually do something to directly keep them out. I've had three lifetimes' worth of tryharding tanks, and I really don't want to get punched in the dick when I don't have a good game.

Tanks with fixed ATGM tubes (like the terminator) have a dull grey circle that shows where the tubes are pointing. If you're not paying attention it can be easy to just sling missiles into the ground or into the rock you're taking cover behind.
