M.C. McMic posted:I like the pubbie that got all pissed that you "came after him for an easy kill" and called you a coward. What are you supposed to do exactly? Ignore enemy tanks that are almost dead and leave another gun in the game because what... it's "nice" or something? Doesn't make even the slightest bit of sense. Idk, some pubbies feel like they are special when you focus them. I just wanted him dead because he scratched my paint when I was killing the Jagtiger. Edit: T28 is quite an under-rated tank. If it manages to get close to the front line it just shits out a crazy amount of damage. Mesadoram fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Jul 13, 2015 |

I can't be assed to go through all of the SPG missions to get get the T-55A. For the other classes there are the ones I can realistically try for then there are the ones I've classified as completely random if I can get them. I'll ponder the mod 1 some more.

Desuwa posted:At this point I have played all t9 mediums except the PTA on the live server. The AMX 30 is very good but it can't brawl in a pinch or bully lower tiers like the E-50 can. There are so many good tier9 mediums the Cent never feels as if I am putting out a lot of damage, The WZ120 seems to work better for me than the T54 with the alpha of the top gun and the ability to bully tanks ( a four skill crew helps a lot, where as the t54s crews were always retrained to T62, object 140, and Object 430 ).

You don't need to do SPG missions as long as you do the last mission in every other class with honors. The StuG IV and T28 HTC missions are relatively easy if you have a T10 med/heavy/TD, a decent T8 light and some good T5/T6 tanks for doing some of the kill missions. For the T-55A though you start needing really good tanks that are really well suited to the mission - some particularly important ones are a good T6 medium for the fire missions and some of the kill ones, VK 4502B or some other German brick for the bounce missions and the KV-2 for the annoying "damage five internal modules" one).

Do it, man. Some idiot Tiger II figured a Leo PTA was a bigger threat than me, showed me side turret, and I slammed him for 1,001HP for it. and then the next match i accidentally blew my own poo poo up when a t-54 rammed me and i shot him without thinking

Also it is cheap to run because of default APCR and no gold ammo worth using. Also PBKAC probably thinks JohnGalt is just me on his account. They're right to worry.

Driveby a Bat for 500 damage, set it on fire, track the Bat next to it for 150 damage with splash from the same shell, run away cackling as neither can hit you #justt49things Our E 50 said he would "tk ban next camper noob light" because I was hanging back a bit under the bridge on Westfield derpsniping a Type 61 our AMX 13 was lighting for me. Turns out I did double the next highest damage and he was down in the bottom 5. Welp.

I do love my Bulldog. I should rebuy my Chaffee so I can just have the whole line in my garage. I am running out of American crews to throw in there. I think I am going to throw my Fury crew in the Bulldog when I do the transfer to the T49.

RanKizama posted:Really? What's the new standard? I thought people were still chasing the WN8 rainbow. Yeah but I put zero weight behind WN8. I swapped back to WN6 - if people are farming kills, who gives a poo poo as long as they're winning games, since at least that's more reliable than seeing some dude with a 2k WN8 and 57% winrate who played only tanks that give favorable WN8 scores for mediocre performances yet just cannot perform in other tanks. Just win games please thanks.

RanKizama posted:I'm not sure how the scaling really works with it anymore because the poo poo is always changing. I usually sit around in a dark blue kind of area but I'm don't really know what people consider good or bad when it comes to these things anymore unless you're just flat-out purple or red. I play 95% solo-pub with some dabbling in platoons and Strongholds if that means anything besides me being a casual scrub. If you got those stats solo pubbing you are doing something very right. I was in a similar position a few years ago, was a solo-pub super star; got into a great clan and became a unicum. Getting in a great clan will push you over to unicum no problem. Edit: Then you gain the right to be a stuck up shithead like the rest of us. Feels good sitting on a purple throne, it was built with the tears of the tomatoes.

RanKizama posted:If I'm ever looking at a potential clan recruit I usually just look at K/D and Damage ratios as well as Winrate. Also what tanks they're drive because I've seen a lot of players with high numbers in all of those categories that have 8K battles in a Tier II. Funny story - when people accuse me of being a stat padder because I played a lot of Hellcat, T49/T67, T18 and Ltraktor, I know they're just full of poo poo. My WN8 in them is horrendous - it's sabotaging my overall stats because having 800 games in a tank hundreds of WN8 below overall WN8 is kind of difficult. My stats actually come from playing a bunch of tier 8s and 7s, and COINCIDENTALLY ENOUGH the T-54 is a stat padding tank. 400 games in it, 3200 WN8, in one of the agreed upon best tier 9s? Okay I wonder why a bunch of stat padders would designate one of the known stat padder tanks as a tank with favorable expected values? Fortunately every time they change the WN8 numbers/formula my stats go up because again, it's a terrible metric made by terrible people. Just ignore WN8 of other people, it really is worthless.

I don't know. I'm only half Asian so I still kind of suck at math. That is exactly how it works. The general populace is bad. There is some definitional questions on the "Do better" part.

 Finally got a chance to post a screenshot of this recruitment message. That has to be the most po-faced, earnest thing I've even seen in a video game. RanKizama posted:I thought WN8 did some kind of weird formula that calculated WN8 based upon a tank and it's expected performance or some weird poo poo like that and if you did better than the general populace, your WN8 went up? I don't know. I'm only half Asian so I still kind of suck at math. The problem is that WN8 favors certain tanks, and it just so coincidentally happens that it favors tanks that good players enjoy playing and can carry in. Coincidentally. http://www.wotstats.org/stats/na/rankizama/ Have fun.

So as long as its a popular tank, all players(most are bad) will be drawn to play it, doesnt matter if the tank is good or bad. Tiger I is a Perfect exsample. Its a overbuffed deathstar of a tank now, and it still has very low average wn8 performance. do you own HP back in damage and your a statspadder god. The t-54 is another exsample, its a tank from the beginning, thats allways been a favorite to play, but With only 200pen bad players will have a very hard time playing it. on the other hand, good players will do awsome in it, because its a very very good tank to play, a high skill/ high reward tank.
