On one hand this Frontline thing looks amazing because this loving game needs bigger maps at higher tiers.

On the other hand, pubbies will just do their usual loving brainless thing and go racing off to die ASAP before crying at everyone else -- even those using the slowest vehicles -- for not backing them up, except now there'll be twice as many of them.

Dont worry, WG will make the economics of Frontline so bad that one game without premium running with net you a loss of 500,000 credits. This game mode will get killed the proper way.

My usual experience in games isn't that pubbies usually race off to die. It is that they turtle up too hard to give supporting fire to their allies and give up map control. If they do push out, they go somewhere useless like the beach on overlord while their team gets rolled over.

I'm still working through the WT Pz.IV but the console version is about to get the Grille 15 without removing the WT E100 from the tech treee, which one should be the priority? If it helps I'm not upgraded enough to have a real opinion on the waffle but I did like the Borsig with the 12.8cm.

Balanced because a tier 1 can pen them.

Also I rebought the wz11111114 rather than buying a new tier 10. Starting to make better decisions.

You can't just ignore a flank noob, if you do the enemy will be behind us after they spend literally a third of the allotted match time going through medium and soft terrain and then up a large unprotected slope and then getting past a chokepoint killzone at the top of the slope.

Does anyone have the video of Camador in his WTE100 pulling into the middle on Himmels and killing an E100 from full HP while still having an extra shell?

Church3 is probably the best option for this.

If any of you new guys just signed up and didn't use a code for a free Church III, maybe you want to sign up again and use a code to get a free Church III. The reddit code still worked within the last year so try that one: WOTREDDIT (code includes 7 days of Premium, 500 gold, and a brand new tier five Churchill III)

When they do the LT change over, if your tier 8 is going to tier 9 do you get the tier 8 tank as well as the tier 9, or is WG loving you somehow.

Going from 3v27 to 5v45 is good though. Same ratio of human to shitter, but now you can actually instantly focus down an enemy tank.

lol it's like "no loving big deal mother fucker yeah you lost 2700 hp and i lost 0 and also i get to do it again in 50something seconds nothing wrong here!" and then when Wargaming realized how badly they hosed up they reduced the HP from 2200 down to 2000 and they were going to reduce the clip down to 5 shots but buff the reload to keep the same DPM and nearly everyone said that was stupid, the sixth shell really isn't necessary anyway and getting ten seconds off the reload is a fantastic trade-off, and then they just reduced the clip size without changing the reload and the tank was still broken and they had to remove it. Good times.

it'll be interesting to see how they react to their very obvious failure to balance the new lights once poo poo actually hits live.

pretend they're fine? overcompensating buffs? sudden "promotions" in the office? more LT nerfs? the possibilities are endless.
