Holy poo poo. This tank is cursed with teams like this:

Oh what's that? The enemy team have a platoon of unicums in a 279(e) and a Chieftain, and we have some guy who's played like two games in his loving Super Conqueror?



You'll be shocked to know we did not in fact win the game and both our heavies were dead in a minute.

GSOR 1010 is actually a pretty nice medium. The gun on it is really nice :unsmith:.

That's what I've been saying! The turn radius is poo poo, but it's fast, can work a ridge line really well and can pop up where the enemies don't expect it for that big British medium damage. It's really good in Frontlines, too!

I am a sucker for tanks with good guns, and this one is quite snappy and accurate. Doesn't even need a vstab either.

OK, who the hell decided the Spähpanzer I.C.'s HE shell velocity should be 300m/s.

It do be like that sometimes(*).

It's why I've almost exclusively fallen back on playing Onslaught. You can influence the games a great deal more, the maps are better, and even if your team pulls off the old 1-7, at least it's over very quickly.

* = seemingly most times these days. But gently caress, that is BRUTAL.

Why did I wake up so early? I just wanna down a few shots of limoncello and go back to bed :smith:
Also I shoulda bought the Progetto46 last week. sigh



Not too outrageous but it's just a whole morning of corner camping mediums, everyone on one side (the new hotness), my heavies always melting opening the gate for the Mordor hordes

OK, in Bronze Onslaught just becomes a horrible hell grind. You can win and be the first on the team, and you'll literally get 5 ranking points more than you get for being on the top in a loss.

And you need 500 points to get from Bronze to Silver.

Got unlucky and happened to get killed first? Well that's 10 victories immediately erased, go gently caress yourself.

E: like seriously: I have a WR of 55% in this Onslaught season, and I'm struggling to get out of Bronze D. This game mode can eat my rear end in a top hat.

If you have a Batchat 25(t) and you're not playing Onslaught, you should.



E:

7557 WTR, 15% WR.



One of those nights where I just should've cut my losses and gone to watch Fargo or something.

Started the day in Bronze B. Had the typical WoT session of losing 60% of my games due to most games having one or even more players who did 0 damage, ended up in Bronze D.

It just sucks so much loving rear end that there are no backstops in Onslaught. I find it hard to believe they designed a game mode this poo poo by accident.

I've never played Onslaught, can you do a team platoon in it or are all the teams random?

You can platoon but I think that puts you in a separate queue against other platoons. Plus none of my friends or WoT acquaintances play this loving game anymore :v:

Welp, at least you're only getting screwed by MM and not tryhard platoons, which would absolutely suck in a 7v7 format.

Oh yeah, I'm positively surprised they didn't put platoons and randoms into the same queue. Hey, maybe next season!

I was the only person on my team with a 50+ WR. Three are below 47%.

The enemy team had one person WITHOUT a 50+ WR.

I've been on a losing streak recently. It's super annoying :colbert:. It's either my team rushes in and dies in the first 3 minutes, which then turns into me trying to farm as much as I can till I die or our team decimates the enemies with a never ending rush and I struggle to get any damage in.

Not sure if it is the players, the meta or both that suck :smith:
