That is the exact method of Clan Management I used with MTFT.

It kind of makes sense with how pubbies all scream about how your clan members act reflects on the clan.

Over on the NA server, we at NTR have had the mono-diplomat makeup for a while. Unfortunately, once the pubbies figure out that your clan is mostly diplomats, they'll know your weaknesses.

Highlights

12 days
up to tier 8
top 30 clans get gold
award tank is t23e3 (only a 1000 to give out but might be due to asian cluster)
Revolts are a key theme to this one

Sounds like PANSY is back in action :smuggo:

I've finally made my way to Pershing, so I'm doing better, but the T20 was a slog. Just being melted by everyone and everything was disheartening, I really should have invested in Heavies.

You're probably exposing yourself too much. Try platooning so you figure out some better ways to play mediums. The Pershing has better turret armour than the T20, but if you're getting shot by multiple tanks all the time you still won't last long.

Hopefully WGA will extend premium and the On Track event a couple of days when they get this crash bug sorted.

:gooncamp:
Well, looks like WG at least tidied up some of the models. The gun barrels are all dark inside now, no more goofy mantlet clipping. Cent's coax is now machine-gun-coloured, though they decided to nix its flex .30 cal for some reason so it looks kind of weird without it. Tiger and Panther both take camo without turning sub-black and sucking all light from their surrounds, and Tiger looks a little more beat up than it was before.

HB trip report: I played a match of Kursk as a Panther, which took nigh 5 minutes to pop and when it did I got shafted with only one other Panther (an idiot) and a bunch of StuGs and PzIVs (all idiots). They all rushed hill because I went there to try put shots on town/rails and they wanted to see my shiny pretty tank in action. I ended up doing like 1.8k damage, nobody else did anything and instead of realising that rushing hill and then failing to use it properly was the cause of the loss, they began howling about Russian Bias because apparently blind, HE-laden SU-152s also driven by imbeciles are impossible to beat in accurate tanks with long view ranges and, in the StuG's case, absurd camo.

My second battle was Balaton in a T-34-85. Immediately I noticed the enemy's one and only Panther was on my shitlist (voice ignore list), and without me even having to say a word he began making GBS threads up chat in broken English about "rossmum is a team kill". I don't remember why he was on my shitlist but I pointed this fact out and then warned his team that you have to be profoundly touched on a level most other pubbies don't even reach to end up there. Sure enough, three minutes later, he's spotted apparently idle in spawn and dies in about ten seconds. I didn't do a whole lot of damage, our team just kinda facerolled the theoretically better German team full of Jagdpanthers and Nashorns.

Verdict: HB is dumb and bad and a waste of time thanks to the 50 or so shitlers who are readied up in Tigers at any one time, and of whom exactly zero will unready to switch to even a PzIV or Panther, let alone an Allied tank. As soon as WG patch this poo poo up to fix all the fun issues that didn't happen on test but inexplicably do happen now, I'm reinstalling my mods and saying goodbye to HB. On the plus side, now I won't have to risk loving my precious T2 LT or PzIC stats testing mods after subsequent patches! I can do it in a lovely gamemode nobody cares about instead.

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

My trip report from last night includes the following:

- crash to desktop w/o warning exiting a match
- crash to desktop when in spectator mode while selecting a different tank to view
- crash to desktop when in spectator mode if moving the mouse while in your own dead tank
- crash to desktop when firing from 1375 while airborne (I don't think it was necessarily airborne that cause it but w/e)

I've had 2 CTDs so far, both in Historical, in my War Crime. One was as we have all but won, but sadly one was as our amazing Tiger II duo decided to charge into a swarm of Hellcats because "A KT can solo the whole enemy team dude" and promptly causing everyone except me and a Jagdpanther to die.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
I still have the graphics on improved, but I think I've reduced the number of crashes (not eliminated them) by deleting my %APPDATA%\Wargaming.net\WorldOfTanks folder. Someone on the forums said that there was a conflict between old and new config files, and that lead to some (but not all) of the crashes. It seems to have worked, I haven't had a crash since except for the Hellcat bug.

Hold off on the Sexton forever. If they ever remove it from the store, grab it then. The Sexton is not worth playing at all, and you know how much I love playing the leFH.

God drat I love playing the leFH, anyone who didn't get one should seek medical help. If I could get a Type 59 and give up my leFH, I'd say gently caress you lovely Chinese tank leFH is too good.

Noobmeter (and WN8?) are a bit confused right now with the split of the StuG and Pz IVs so it's treating them as brand new tank results for everyone.

I don't know if it's a mod or not, but every time I get shot by a TD there's no graphics or sound for the hit, my hp just vanishes and I get a text report only. Happened with both an invisible long range 704 shot, and point blank shots from a visible Rhoomba.

Pretty sure the American 105mm has always been that potent. Don't think it's broken, unless there's a specific reason why it can't do 100hp damage to a Tiger II's front.

The M4 105's HE listed stats are 410 damage and 53 pen. The Tiger 2's 105mm HE stats are 420 damage and 60 pen. We tried negating the front slope angle, but could not get any damage on my Tiger 2's upper plate.

I don't care enough to test other guns, but M4 HE is dealing 150 damage to my Tiger 2, while in testing a Tiger 2 with better HE shells could not deal more than 100 to my LFP, and dealt 0 damage to my UFP, even from above while my tank was tilted downward. Something's not quite right here. The M4 shell might have a BIG splash, compared to the Tiger 2, but even then that's kind of silly.
