Turn the entire lower-middle-cliff segment of overlord into a shallow ramp all the way to the beach while we're at it. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Jan 5, 2024 |

Remove the beach on Overlord entirely because it is a magnet for morons.

I'd happily have a session of Prokhorovka for 30 battles in a row. Probably the only map which cannot ever jank me out of doing something useful no matter what class/tier I'm playing. Mines, Widepark, Westfield and Fjords on the other hand can all gently caress off for an eternity of eternities.

The ideal WoT map is an open map with undulating terrain and plenty of bushes. Prokhorovka, Murovanka, and Steppes all fit the bill for the most part.

I am a sucker for city maps. Heavy tanks are my poison of choice, so the less moving I need to do the better.

Multi-stage objective based maps would be neat to see in general availability. Think frontline but just the equivalent of 2 zones in a row instead of the full 4x3 grid. When one team takes control of 2/3 objectives, the other team is forced into a defensive fight/retreat to protect their final objective, etc.

I'm glad you've said this because now I can screencap and paste it every time anyone in my usual Discord sessions says that Prok is "a poo poo map". Not the biggest fan of Murovanka personally because it heavily punishes any sort of incompetence around the Magic Forest but Steppes is another good map for sure, at least for the most part. That loving garbage redline hill-camping poo poo in the South needs to go though.

Prok is the map that separates the good players from the bad ones. Good players generally like it because they understand things like spotting mechanics and view range. Bad players hate it because of "invisible tanks". Prok is only bad when there is a massive skill disparity between the light tanks on each team and you're stuck on the team with the bad light. I go hill when that happens.

All of the spotting-heavy maps are dogshit when MM decides that teams with 8 TDs, 4 Heavies, and 3 Mediums on each side is acceptable. Bonus points for none of the mediums being typical "spotting" setup mediums.

When does Frontlines start? And I can make no sense of the upcoming event with that old movie or what to do, I'm guessing I have to buy a 'battle pass'?

Looks like the Shptk VTU battlepass marathon thing. They are not too demanding and you get a fairly priced, premium TD at the end if you pay the 3500 gold. Including a BiA crew.

I finished the tier 6 Jap TD ("Ji-Ro") and it was...fine. I still can't get over how slow it is, despite having no armor (yes, I know it's because of the weak engine) while having higher-than necessary turning speed (I'd trade some of the latter for better acceleration, and this is what the tier 7 ends up being like.) The top gun on it was fantastic for a tier 6, though; it really wrecked poo poo if it got close enough to it!McGavin posted:Remove the beach on Overlord entirely because it is a magnet for morons. When I first got it after returning to the game I was like, "did they make beach good now? Because half of each team went there..."  BIG HEADLINE posted:I still miss Historical Mode. There was a limit on how many gold rounds you could carry. This would be a nice change to the main game. Unlimited AP/HE, but limited gold shells. It'd make the latter an important resource to manage while encouraging offense since you'd never run out of regular rounds (aside from having to pay for what you shoot like in WoWS.)

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:A mode without gold rounds would really separate the players from the bleach drinkers. loving heaven. The trouble is that some tanks have been balanced with gold ammo in mind, and if nobody had gold ammo, they would be even more 100% bullshit with very little counterplay. This would again be less of a problem in more open maps where things like flanking would actually be options, but since WG's map design is "corridors with suicide zones between them", actually flanking anything is often functionally impossible.

It's insane and almost definitely going to get nerfed in the future. The T8 is meh, the T9 is good and with the top gun extremely good. Haven't gotten to the T10 yet.

Really enjoying the Eagle 7 you got through Twitch tokens. It doesn't look like much on paper, but it just delivers the goods in game. Tier 7 is the perfect spot for the Pershing, too just like 6 is where the Tiger/Panther should be (and where the premium variants are of course) The accuracy number is such BS, that thing hits so much more reliably at any range than the Skorpion G.

Yeah I played a couple of battles in the T7 and I'm already liking it more, if only because it has better mobility than the T6, but it also has much better armor. The T8 looks like it has a decent gun & mobility, plus armor that's riddled with weak spots; am I right? The T9 looks like an improved T8, with a notably better casemate.

Yep, exactly. the T7 has bullshit armour and will bounce poo poo you'd never expect it to bounce, in addition to an accurate and hard-hitting gun with good DPM. The T8's big problem is that it's house-sized and not very well armoured, the T9 is much better armoured and actually pretty quick. And with the top gun it also hits hard as hell. If they ever sell the T8 premium again, I whole-heartedly recommend it. It's a lot of fun and a neat assault gun to play.

I died because I didn't realize the Leo was poking at bushes trying to find me. Shame, I played this game like the dirty loving roach you have to be as a light tank. Also, ammo racking the 120 helped. The battlefield is your playground, not to fight but to poke. You only fight when you have to because you got too greedy and you need to get the gently caress out.

Lovely, they're the only line that can hold a cup to the Leopards and Skodas. I've stripped my Udes 15/16 for (bounty) parts after a dozen or so games. Just unfathomable, diabolical garbage with that suspension bullshit and the crappy gun. I expect the STB is very similar but I'm not wasting my time and nerves to find out.

Yes congrats but pubbies will not push into you like it's 2012, and will outwait you in their own hidey hole literally forever. The second you have to do anything but sit there you are a dead man with a leaky fueltank and broken ammoracks. Besides, there are so many other options to have a superior turret nowadays, you don't need to choose one with that many drawbacks. Oh I forgot, the engine is severely underpowered.

I'm struggling to think of a worse tier 6 tech tree tank in the game, and I'm pretty sure this is the worst.

The lack of mobility kills it. I don't think there is anything else with 8.9 hp/t in the game.
