It's got the best camo rating out of all light tanks in the game.

Everything about the Valentine is pretty loving terrible regardless. It's only any fun when you get to poo poo all over the worst Tier III vehicles, and even then the rate of fire's abominable.

Does it have higher applicable DPM and better mobility than all of its tiermates while also having special matchmaking? Did I miss out on the tier 2 E-25?

The best part about the charioteer is that the 105 l7 got hesh rounds. That makes it hilarious to use as people still expect 300 damage hits or bounces. Not for you to do 600 at their butss or just smash their face for 100 and break their gun.

Apparently the best camo rating on a light tank in the entire game. I guess maybe one of the swedish td's is better? tanks.gg doesn't have it in the system yet so I can't compare its values to find out for sure but its what Dez said and hes not normally wrong.

Well, the ue 57 is that little french td. It is across class, but does it outperform even that little bitty thing.

i could fill those slots in a couple days.. also if i quit now..how would i perform poorly in battle but still show off my cool completionist medal.

i do really wanna play wow but i tried warrior and that might of ruined the experience for me because it started me off with like 1 skill that does 5 damage or something and a 1h weapon with no off hand weapon and i found a bad rear end looking shark an elite, and i wanted its loot as a mighty level 7 i thought i could beat it up but i died and logged off because playing with a 1h weapon and no off hand wasn't fun and i wanted to see the drop from that over sized shark :(

can't wait for the new missions im gonna do them all in a month!! -if they dont make them stupidly harder than when i first saw them-

had a good win in the archer https://imgur.com/5vZoEmm 1700 is quite a bit for that tank to do if you ask me since the expected for 100% mark says 550 for me at the moment. a lot of good team mates too real team work now hour later i just had a 1900 dmg game with a "haloen's medal" a medal for killing two tanks 2 tiers higher in a td or something like that..im starting to like the archer can imagine it'd be cooler with sixth sense with its 360life and all .. :update just had a 2600 dmg draw in it team mate camped instead of trying to win gg anyway

just ran into a guy named "ryeb" it was a close game possibility to win but instead of trying in his grille he shoots a wall multiple times to suicide after saying "we lose bye" so after the battle i think drat i have to know what a real losers stats look like, so i go and look at his service record .. get this, 48k+ battles and never played tier 10, his highest tier is a tier 9 t54 lol and his ONLY tier 9 .. ill give him credit for staying out of the high tiers though thank him for that.

you are correct as i gain more battles it gets higher.. :( just got my first mark on archer at 33 battles , 66.07% on mark ..kinda want 3 since its easy

I hit a Bobject 430 in the side (astoundingly lovely lowroll) as he attempted to race around and flank an allied Obj. 257, and it miraculously set him on fire. Watched him burn to death 90 seconds into a battle while I laughed, sat in my lovely AMX 65t.

I mean it was still a loss after that but whatever, ruined his fun and hopefully his daily double with it.

Bottom tier in my Progetto on Mountain Pass. My team that went west folded and a 430U came at me clearly knowing I was no match at all for that tank. Landed 1 shot into a 430U and set him on fire for nearly 1000 damage in total. He killed me but oh you know he was mad.

Yeah, this. I'm enjoying all the the tanks I get to burn down.

I'll run rations instead of an auto extinguisher in lights and similar. Anything where I can't take many hits anyway and am relying on camo and running away.

And as for inappropriate sidescraping I just saw a Pershing on my team try to do so against a T34 heavy instead of relocating to cover as we were losing on Himmelsdorf. In fact, he exposed himself to fire while making sure it was impossible to shoot back. He got tracked and blew up exactly as fast as you think.

I assume that I sidescrape in a number of tanks that I have no real business doing it, mostly because I can't be bothered to try and figure out which tanks do or don't have good side armor. I've already filled my brain with enough worthless WoT knowledge.

Same here for the most part. If it's a Heavy Tank, I'll sidescrape. If it's a Medium Tank, I'll sidescrape unless it's one of those paper things that has no business even being looked at, never mind shot at. On that note, I saw some dipshit trying to sidescrape in a Hellcat earlier. Let that sink in for a moment.

Shot him to bits with the Firefly VC before he realised what he was doing wrong (being seen). That rate of fire is ridiculous.

Except he's got a shitton of premiums, not just the tier 8 ones. Can they all be rentals? At this point I'm just assuming he's explaining it away by thinking of it as paying WG for playing the game he apparently likes a lot.

Got an unexpected Ace Tanker on the Archer earlier, ~2,700 damage combined/~1,100 base experience. No idea if that's the actual requirement for such an achievement or if I was just overperforming way too much (it was a Tier VII game with an enemy team absolutely full of windowlicking pubbies, with most of their stuff trying to rush the base but pausing every time they got hit to try and land lucky hits on an invisible TD).

Of course this good game was then immediately triple-offset by a terrible run of battles in the SU-122-44, where I was once again firmly placed on "my team" and had to watch a bunch of retards all huddle up and fail to kill anything every time.

I have to assume the mastery exp for the Archer is absurdly low. The average pubbie can't drive a normal tank, god forbid one that the controls are reversed.
