Hellsau posted:Naw, it's a pretty great bonus because it's multiplicative. On a two person crew like the ELC you get a 50% crew XP bonus that multiplies with events, reserves and boosters. On a normal four person crew, it's a 25% bonus to your crew training, or you can catch a guy up faster if you're training a new Sixth Sense commander or whatever. If you've got two million convertible experience, it ain't like you need any more. i'd describe that more like divisional but maybe i'm just in a glass-half-empty mood

Got a Nicol's medal in the Crommy B.   http://wotreplays.com/site/3465552#stats Not amazing but still disappointing to kill off 4 tier 8s in a tier 6 and still lose.

As people suggested, I tried to slow down, be less reckless, and follow good players in similar vehicles. 30 games, 57.6% win rate and a WN8 of 844. Still not great, but an improvement. I need to focus on cutting down the frequency of my 0 and 1 hit games, even if it means being more cautious and missing out on those games where I'm really aggressive and everything works out and i get a buffet of flank shots. Way more frequent is where i get tracked in a bad spot and shot by 4 enemy vehicles at the same time.

Don't always push forward if you have a weak tank, even if it's a heavy. Hang back from the main crowd a bit so they take the brunt of the damage while you lob stuff from behind. No sense in you pushing forward and getting rolled. It takes away from you, and even a damaged tank is still a gun in the fight for your team while a destroyed one is no benefit to them

If you are alive and not pinned down then you can feast upon the previously shielded arty and lower tier tanks. This will definitely improve your WN8. Even on a losing side doing an end run and slaughtering the bunnies on the other team can be worth a bunch of credits and exp. You are likely to get really good because you realise there is a problem and are trying to fix it. That puts you solidly clear of easily half the players mashing their keyboards in this game.

Cartoon posted:I have also discovered (but find harder to implement) that you need to watch your fight/flight reactions and try to default to flight. Addendum to this - you cannot allow the enemy to know whether you're in fight or flight mode. If you're fleeing, you need to represent a reasonable threat to whatever enemies want to push into you. Preferably, you'll be unspotted so you can get some distance before they know what you're up to. Similarly, if you're fighting it out but make it look like you're fleeing, you can lure them into your and your teammates' guns. Say you're in the northeast on Fjords, and you've engaged enemy tanks, but it's just you and a bottom tier TD left. If you're spotted and you just bail, they're going to chase you and you'll be dead before you're halfway down the slope. If you can just keep them at bay for the twenty or thirty seconds it takes you to wiggle your way along the north mountain back to the hump, you have a much bigger chance of successfully making your way down to your base and around the middle. Or, if your teammates are all useless fuckwit TDs camping that northern peninsula, maybe you want the enemy to chase you, so you can spot them and hide behind the house near the bottom while praying your teammates actually bother shooting at the spotted enemies. Note - this never works. Do not do this unless you have reason to believe at least one of those camping tanks has a human pilot. e: oh also sometimes you're just getting pushed by five tanks, and there is nothing you can do to stop them. In that situation, you can just turn around and RUN and hope they miss every shot somehow. Sometimes it works. Hellsau fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Mar 29, 2017 |

Hey, any of the old timers remember this guy? I spotted and recognized him in a random battle and greeted him with an affectionate "gently caress goons!" He's in PANSY now if anyone wants to reacquaint with him.

Hellsau posted:Note - this never works. Do not do this unless you have reason to believe at least one of those camping tanks has a human pilot. Very true. Tried doing this with a Luchs on Lakeville. All the heavies and mediums stopped to fire on a couple lights on the middle road, so I ran into town, found their main force moving through and spent time ducking and weaving through streets pot shotting when I could to hopefully get them pissed enough to make mistakes before bolting out towards my team. They steamrolled the whole team that were still focused on those two lights that weren't even spotted anymore. Plenty of bitching though in chat about that "dumb light that lead their team back to us/shoulda spotted the middle road, noob". Still trying to figure which would be the better choice in their eyes, die on the middle road or die trying to shoot three heavies and five mediums....you know, that I can't really pen beyond nicking paint

Its a shittier UDES which is already very limited in the utility department. The UDES is only useful if your team is gradually losing which doesn't come up often. Annoyingly enough this seems to be universal for anyone average skilled or higher. If you get a game where it is a blowout (most games) it is loving worthless.

I've seen them do awesome on maps like El Halluf where you can see the enemy pretty much everywhere from a distance. There's always those dumb pubbies that run down into the valley too at the beginning of the match because "OMG gotta cap base!" Highway just watch the field/north Westfield would be a good place. Plenty of spots for a TD But this is for an UDES, not it's lower class "premium" and definitely not very useful against T10 which you'll get a good share of. You're better off with an e-25 taking on T8s

Saw it, couldn't resist, had to buy. Panther/M10 is fun as poo poo. It's a troll tank. One game and I already got called a hacker because I was able to block damage and another calling me a moron for taking a tank destroyer into the city on highway. People actually think it's an M10. loving lol, this game

L-Boned posted:Forgive my ignorance, but are the reload counters something you can get in trouble for? That would be really useful. Short answer - no. Reload timers that display stock reload times for the opponent are fine. Ones that take into account the enemy equipment and crew skills are not. Either way this isn't something Wargaming can track, so use it if you want it. Just don't stream with it on.
