ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:And then I somehow get a Mark of Excellence on the AMX M4 45. This is a tank which does everything possible to frustrate and disappoint me at every turn while delivering a laughable 44% WR in it, yet here I am with a loving white band around the barrel. The average damage on this thing must be absolutely pathetic. "Hey guys, look, he must be good at this game. Let's all target him with arty" Last night I had a mix of frustration and laugh fit. I took the west road on the Prok map with my t-34-85 and sat in some bushes. Got joined by an IS-6 and an arty to back us. An UDES spotted me, I got a shot into him and his two artys punched me immediately after. The IS-6? Took a shot and ran away clear over to the other side of the map where he managed to unload five rounds, never hit a thing, then get mauled. He ranked higher than me in the outcome....*sigh* SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Feb 15, 2017 |

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:I'm also grinding this thing and hating near-enough every goddamned loving moment. Low rolls for penetration and damage every time (scoring ~250 on a gun with 320 average damage because gently caress me for actually hitting something), inexplicably less gun depression on an identical turret and overall it's just something of an all-round poo poo platform. The VK4502A is an exceptionally powerful tank. Play aggressive, find another tier eight or lower tier tank and hold left click on it, or spend the first few minutes as a second line sniper and then during cleanup go for a ram + shoot to kill weakened enemies.

When the tank is so OP a Top gun only gets you a 3rd level mastery. I am loving the skorpion.  Also I played a game on Overlord earlier. A lot of tier 10s and I was in my VK4502b. I went to the middle where that little horse shoe area is, 2 'layers' above the beach with just an AMX CDC for company. He then spotted an IS-7, 2 E100's and a Maus. I came out of that scrap (thanks to the intervention of some devastating artillery from my team) with a dead E-100 and a Maus to my name, 4500 damage blocked and a message from the IS-7 player calling me a cheating rat.

Lakeville valley is a great place for a bad player to take their top tier heavy and farm a lot (for them, at least) of damage against similarly bad players in lower tier tanks that can't flank them. They don't contribute anything to the battle but, for once, they've done half their health in damage instead of dying out in the field on malinovka with 0 damage, so they'll repeat it every time.

It was kinda nice if I got that in a AT-15 and could just sit near the back and track people as they crested the hill. It had enough ROF to keep people there, and could eventually wear them down. I held that with a SU-152 in game against 1/2 the enemy team that would creep up one at a time, get tracked, then slapped with a HE shell. They'd retreat. A few seconds later another vehicle would try this, get hit by me, then smacked with a HE.

I had a great valley match in my *trigger warning* Hummel. The stars aligned and the trajectory of my shells was exactly the same as the gradient of the hill. The entire pubie team tried a valley rush, got stalled at the crest of the hill and died at the rate of one a reload. Good times. Malanovka  Another night of dumb pubbies doing dumb poo poo.As a scout you go forward but hide well enough that you spot every single one of the enemy team that are camping. Assistance damage 149. Are your gun barrels jammed with jizz? w t f. As a heavy. Go to the hill in a match up that screamed easy win. All the other heavies sat in the open near the spawn and got wrecked. I almost won the hill on my own but apparently MA2E4 shermans can bounce KT rounds from their unangled side armour while easily penetrating a well angled front glacis.

I think because not many people play it because the people who love it bought the Rudy. I got my second mark of excellence in the 34-85 without even concentrating on it. I've been unable to get over 80% in the Rudy.

Just aced the Ikv 65 Alt II. 9 kills, 3,351 damage. Next closest damage on the team was 815. Edit: I'm using the stock gun because it loads faster and has the same gold pen as the top gun. McGavin fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Feb 16, 2017 |

I know I'm always real hesitant to be the guy going into the middle because of that.

I know I'm always real hesitant to be the guy going into the middle because of that. Sometimes you die. Sometimes there's a 183 that spawned perfectly and shoots a shot and dings your turret just right to oneshot you. Sometimes you immediately win the game for your team and earn shitloads of XP and credits for your efforts. I'm willing to die quickly if surviving means my team goes from a guaranteed loss (look at those useless fucks sitting there) to a nearly guaranteed win.

Both of those guns are viable; the 75 is probably "better" overall but makes it pretty Comet-like (read: you've seen this before) while the 100 hits harder. I'll probably prefer the Leo with the 75 but I'd still rather play it with the 100 over the A-44 or T-34-1 (or even the T-34-100, which wasn't as bad as those.) Fat Jesus posted:I've actually clicked garage when the top 4 or 5 HT's went valley and got a frowny Patton warning but nothing happens I think you actually do get banned from leaving too many battles early, but doing it once in a while is OK. At least drive into the lake first if you're really not going to play that match, so you don't get the early departure warning, don't get reported, and everybody is aware of your...contribution.
