My favorite event was the 1v1 tournament for tier 7 mediums only I won because I reported the guy who used an SU-122-44.

That tournament also had a moron in a O-Ni who beat everyone but me that I reported.

I re-installed the other day. I think the RU 251 is the most fun I've ever had with the game, except maybe the AMX 13 90 when it was a tier 7.

It's almost tempting to finish grinding my tier 9s, but I can't shake the constant awareness that I could be doing something, anything, else, instead. :goleft:

(Also I don't get Discord and couldn't find anyone to platoon with.)

Ah, I have been sustained on tears
This particular gently caress was of four mediums that hid way behind all the TDs and lights on the east of Erlenberg pissing themselves while us TDs and lights pushed the flank because the other was gone. He was killed early on by three shots, didn't bounce a thing. Then mouthed off in chat after the battle was almost over that it's always the dead tanks bitching in chat because I was calling the moron mediums a bunch of moron mediums.

I had my entire flank fold on Tundra in the time it took me to fire 3 shots in a Skorpion yesterday. Meanwhile the other flank was overrun not long after. There was a light tank driver who did the loving stupid suicide scout run who spent the next 3 minutes as I tried to do as much damage as I can calling me a rat for hiding at the back.

Yesterday was just a poo poo show by my team effectively every game. I'm sure if I'd have played 50+ games it would have evened out with the shitters on the other side, but this game is just so frustrating when you have a team made up of windowlickers.

The best part is, and the reason I brought up the damage aspect, is even with my paper thin "armor" I bounced a shot and blocked some splash damage when arty was pounding the gently caress out of me. I kinda wish I trolled the dude that bounced a shot on a Skorpion because lol.
But yeah, this weekend has been a shitshow of window lickers and fail trains. I didn't bother hanging around for one of the overlord matches when the whole team, including arty went beach. Nope, not having it, exited to garage that moment. Saw the defeat tag pop up a bit later and checked. My afk KV-2 did third in experience because of damage blocked while the best of the team did 651 damage. I dunno if that was the masterpiece of stupidity this weekend or if it was the triple light platoon that decided to spot from the other side of the water on the north of the Erlenberg map. I mean christ, I was getting spotting damage with my Super Pershing because they were back there.

I had my entire team, including artillery go into the town on Live Oaks in a game yesterday. Who then got held up by a KV-2 platoon who nuked them all. This weekend has been terrible for teams, you'd think there was some sort of event on.

Well poo poo, any suggestions on what I should grind for next?

I've goten the E5, T57, E100, Jgpz E100, Leo 1, Obj 140, T62A, IS-7, AMX30B, and STB-1.

I'd probably say:
50/51
(or)
Kranvagn/103b - if you want some new mechanics (invulnerable turret face and siege mode). I enjoy both but the 103b line took a lot of time for me to learn how to be aggressive in. Up to (or down to?) 3.2k dpg/60% wr in it now. Still one of my favorites to roll these days since I can actually bully a lot of tanks offensively in the 103b.
(or)
Maus/Type 5 depending on if you like to be slow but bully.

The two tanks leading up to the Maus look really miserable to play, like the pre-buff T28 and T95. "Armored" tanks that are only armored to lower tier tanks that aren't firing gold ammo that trade all their mobility away for that inconsistent armor aren't really fun to play. The guns aren't as good as the T28/T95 guns, but at least they have a pile of HP to make up for it.

That HE derp on the Type 4 is ridiculously inconsistent but dealing more damage on average than a goddamn 183 HESH shell is nice and ridiculous.

Captain Blargh you got kicked from the team, rip.

We need a bunch of KV-1s and KV-1Ss. The Chaffee and M7 aren't going to be acceptable tanks to bring post-patch, since they're going to get demolished. Compared to the T67, they get 20m additional view range and basically don't get a gun and they don't even get more HP! Seriously this is loving bullshit. Anyway we'll probably run a few Chaffees for tonight, but Wednesday and Friday we'll just be playing a bunch of heavies and shooting enemy tanks. For the tier 4 we'll probably be able to keep the Luchs even post patch.

e: Hey ExiaFS, you really enjoyed that time we played like 15 games in the Scorpion, right? Let's platoon on Saturday.

I one-shotted a guy yesterday for pushing around a little AMX right in front of my arty because the guy I guess didn't like where the AMX parked. (You can get away with it in arty.) I've also tk'd a guy because he kept shooting at another teammate. It's fun playing commissar.

It looks like I might not be able to make it for this, I was supposed to sign a lease-takeover half an hour ago, and now the most freedomest country in the history of the world is once again choking me with red tape, to the point where I just lost my late-May sublease and need to scramble to get an alternative signed by Tuesday without looking like a desperate moron that is definitely hiding something.
