Fauxtool doesn't actually play this game, he writes bots to play it for him. His bots can get as high as a 51% win rate when platooning, better than literally 70% of real people that play this game.

I bet I could get a bot to play better than I do, that couldn't be too hard, and would probably be kinder to my teammates. Quick googling WoT bots, it's €25 for TankLeader. I have no experience with botting but it seems funny to pay that much to have a computer play my free-to-play game.

So what was it about American tank tech or armour theory (or whatever the case may be) that made them go with turreted tank destroyers while everyone else was building turretless?

They were purpose built, while most other nations dropped the turret to allow for a bigger gun on a given chassis. For example, putting the long 88 on a Panther chassis.

Americans had strange ideas about tanks. Look up "tank destroyer doctrine". Edit: technically the T-34-57 was a TD, since it was only used to fight tanks.

^^^^ That is an interesting read, thanks Snowy posted:I bet I could get a bot to play better than I do, that couldn't be too hard, and would probably be kinder to my teammates. Dont get TL by itself, its barely functional without tons of added scripts. You will get banned exactly 2 weeks into using it. It used to be $10US but I guess they raised the price.

I cant sell it because I use navigation assets from TL. I have everything else disabled and replaced with my own scripts. I use my own target priorities, hazard avoidance and aiming. TL will autoaim and keep shooting a turret it cant pen. Mine will aim at lower hulls and simply ignore targets it cant pen. WoT is ripe for anyone with a minimum of scripting abilities. Their anti-cheat seems to consist solely of player reports. If there is any automatic detection, its extremely weak. You dont even have to be a very good bot, just the 2nd worst player in the game. That's easy because with the games rising popularity comes more terrible players.

The Southern Dandy posted:What's the point of having 5 different bot accounts?  To spread the risk around. Several months of consecutive botting on one account is asking for a ban no matter how good the bot is. If you let an account sit idle for a certain amount of time the active negative marks on the account status go away. I rotate accounts so that I only ever play a "clean" account. Even if they get investigated, its counted as the first time and its given a warning, not a suspension or ban.

 How to make the best use of a lovely tank. Notice the hilarious amount of shot dodges. Also totally stole the kill on the type59 on middle road.

So the new clan wars is going to be capped at tier III instead of X at first... The Marder II is tier III. I think it's time for [MTFT] to become a clan wars clan.

That was silly. On my Marder in Province, sitting on the cliffs waiting for enemies to light up, and a BT-7 rumbles past me, falls off the cliff, lands with 8% remaining and busted treads. While I'm shaking my head an A-20 rams into me, shoves me off the cliff, and I goomba-stomp the BT-7 without breaking my tracks.

Not tanks, but I felt this was interesting: Throwing metal things at other metal things really fast is cool as hell. e: Speaking of blowing poo poo the gently caress up,

You just need to play one tier 5 battle, and then you count as a chip.

Second time this week an E-50 has tried to ram my Cent and killed himself. PRO TIP: DON'T RAM A 53 TON TANK WITH MORE HITPOINTS THAN YOU UNLESS YOU HAVE BUILT UP LOADS OF SPEED.

Let me tell you about T54s and T62as that thought ramming a 400 HP E-50 was a :goodthing: Spall liner and rammer skill are loving tits. I had a pair of T54s try to finish me off by ramming. The first one took 600 and killed himself, the other took 800 and then I shot him dead. Track fixed itself and I rolled out with 250hp left
