Here's a replay of me getting TD-8-4 (do 5x your HP in damage) with honors (win and survive). The Jagdpanzer IV is an amazing TD at tier 6. The DPM with the 88 mm!

"YES, our team managed to kill the enemy ELC Even 90 right at the start of the game! Now as the only light tank in the game I can really carry the team!" *2 seconds later driving out of bush* *gets spotted by a Skorpion from 5 miles away, insta-blapped by the enemy team*  E: story of tonight

Katamari Democracy posted:So you don't enjoy it? I think to me it plays well as an autoloader on training wheels. But its definitely not a front of the lines kinda tank. Haven't played enough in it to decide it I like it or not, just initial impressions was ugh turret isn't as good as I was hoping for. Shaman Tank Spec posted:"YES, our team managed to kill the enemy ELC Even 90 right at the start of the game! Now as the only light tank in the game I can really carry the team!" I'll throw games just to get a sweet HE shell inside an ELC even 90 cause its funny as hell.

Blows my mind that WoT still doesn't have sixth sense has a guaranteed feature like in WoWS. This game is meant for suffering and nothing more.

The Bat-Chat 12t is actually a really fun tank, and I'm getting a better handle on it after watching some of Skill's videos on it. 56% winrate tonight, but loving christ those losses. So frustrating to just have those god drat 1-15s where the game is over in 3 minutes. What is even the point?Mans posted:Blows my mind that WoT still doesn't have sixth sense has a guaranteed feature like in WoWS. That's happening with Crew 2.0, Sixth Sense will be made baseline.

The amazing Kreskin foresees that some bright bulb eager to please SerB will suggest that while giving the players fixed Sixth Sense is unavoidable, that in order to have it work as it does now, they have to equip a 20k/match consumable. And tanks now have *three* consumable *skill* slots (in addition to the classic slots for kits/etc.), meaning you could theoretically spend 60k/match if you have three consumable "skills" equipped. And a few skills that people like might be going away - but still be available in consumable form.  (no I don't know if this is happening but this is WG we're talking about) BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Feb 19, 2021 |

Sounds like the console version, the big update in December made it so all consumables were considered "used" even if you didn't activate them (they also had a tendency to default to gold for resupply costs!). Part of the reason I switched to PC, I was losing silver with most matches even with the basic set of medkit/repair/extinguisher. They got rid of shared research. You can imagine how that works with radios and the guns on the French heavies. They also removed most of the maps "to update them for next-gen" and two months later they're not back. So if crew 2.0 is a disaster, I can guess it won't be quite as bad as 6.0 on console. Speaking of PC, how do you go about joining the clan? I'm on the NA server, same name in game as on here.

BadLlama posted:let me get into my time-machine, travel back to 2015 and hear about how we are getting sixth sense baseline any day now This cheered me up. I've quit and come back twice now in the time it's taken them to take this idea and make it a reality. Maybe a third time if they still can't figure it out in a year or so. Unrelated, but I kind of feel six sense ruined the game. Used to be you knew you went to a bad spot by getting shot. Then you didn't go there again the next time and you learned something. Now you roll out, roll back, wait 4 seconds to see if your six sense kicked on to know if that was a dumb spot. Meanwhile, if you got a lot of time on your hands while sitting behind rocks hiding from arty (and who doesn't) you can figure out where someone is spotting you from by slowly rolling out and back in and figuring out the only angle they could have spotted you from and what bush lines up from that angle. Back in my day, you rolled into a bush and died and that's how you know you f'd up.

Countless months later and I'm still grinding the WZ-111-1G FT at Tier VIII. It's great, a perfect TD, honest.

Also, note to self: clear out some inactives, the clan will be full again. Edit: he was clearly in-game and accepted the invite right away, so we were at 100. I went through and booted 28 players who hadn't fought a battle in 1 year, so we should be good for a while. I also went through the roster and issued promotions, so if you have the ability to accept new players feel free to send the invites.

Back in my day, you rolled into a bush and died and that's how you know you f'd up. It's definitely a weird mechanic, something that doesn't quite have a counterpart in any other game that I can think of. I do remember the pre-6th sense days, and how everyone was basically driving blind compared to now. I can't say I prefer the old days, but the real problem with 6th sense is that it's such an advantage, it's a requirement rather than an option and really has to be all-or-nothing, i.e. a default mechanic for every crew or just not in the game. It's one of the closest things to being actually P2W considering you can spend gold/real money to convert crew XP, buy skill books, and pay for premium tanks with pre-trained skills.

The US Tier 9 SPG, M53/55 -- good or bad? I unlocked it last night but haven't bought it yet. Also, what's the verdict on the French Bat-Chat mediums? I'm wondering if I should stick with the B-C 12t to unlock the T9 medium as well, or just power through to the AMX 13-90 immediately. Of course it's a bit of a moot point seeing as the Top of the Tree ends tomorrow and there's no way I'm unlocking the T10 light by then. I'm at about 130k/180k to unlock the AMX 13-90 as it is.

They're great, you can clip same tier mediums to death with both, they're fast, and have decent camo.

BadLlama posted:I was disappointed by the turret on that tank. It can troll T8's just fine but T9 and above most standard rounds will be an 50/50 coin flip while 2 keys are pretty much 100% pens on those large flat sides. seconding this. And its not only the sides. The gun mantled can be penned as well. even in max depression situation its only going to bounce 45% of regular shots. Gun handling is crap in that tank it misses constantly progetto 55 is just better tank in my opinion Its however not completely bad. 4 shell clip is nice.

I love my Batchat, but it is a relic of a bygone time as of this point. It needs some buffs. I do totally want to buy an actual model of that tank at one point. Batchat is so awesome looking, but trying to find an actual model of it is so hard. Metal Kits like this. Or expensive tiny models like this.

Give the Bat-chat like 10 more rounds at least and it would be a huge buff even if they didn't change anything else. Long games where I have like 6 shells left and there are still 4 enemy tanks alive and I have to do calculus to figure out what I am going to do..

The stock gun on the M53/55 is utterly worthless. It has like T5-T6 splash radius, so you'll never damage a loving thing with it, so hope the muppets on your team fire at poo poo after you stun it! E: they won't. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Feb 19, 2021 |

I've oft-times wondered if WoT could benefit from rigging up a foot pedal/switch as a substitute for left clicking. You wouldn't move your hand subtly when firing and you'd get that Fury-like ONNA WAY realism boost every time you sent a round out.

In the end the Bat-Chat 12t and I got along fine. AMX 13 90 unlocked, but I'll keep playing to get the BC25 as well. My first ever MoE   E: literally 9 XP away from completing the "finish with the most XP on your team" mission too.

I'd imagine it'd work well for double-barreled tanks, at least. You wouldn't have to worry as much about your hand moving trying to line up the shot while keeping the designated button held down. More of a liability for autoloaders, though.
