Re: The Tournament. Yeah, the format is a bit confusing. I guess we were declined, than accepted because they would have been short of teams otherwise. I had to leave early for reasons, but on the plus side we got at least one point for a technical draw!

The other days for the tournament are the 26th, 27th, and 28th. So Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sign up for them would start today. I'm not sure if there's enough interest to try and field a team though.

What? Wargaming does dumb stuff, and we also got in and had some quick, silly defeats. We have the butts. Let's at least try to put them in seats. Nothing fun will happen otherwise.

And hey, it's not like goons not showing up is new or really adds any more to the soul crushing this game already doles out. We can just platoon/seal club/head off and get drunk somewhere if the tourney falls through on a given night.

The problem is they only reward the top 20% of teams or whatever. The majority of people here (myself included) are too big of shitters to come close to winning anything.

Should I be gunning straight for higher tiers, or should I faff around within each tier before moving up? Or is it something best left to my discretion.

Faff about a bit and learn to play at each. Rushing too quickly will only bring frustration and tears. Skipping up should be reserved once you start down your second or third lines for the stinker tanks.

And if you make sure you get competent as you go up you won't turn out to be a detriment to your team! Not much worse than those wacky, frothing rage inducing, zero damage, jackhole pubbies at high tiers.

So this happened last night in my M53/55. I tried my best to carry the game but my team got slaughtered. One rear end in a top hat drowned himself to not feel the pain anymore. Did I give up? NO! TIL VALHALLA!!! :black101:

Anyway, it wasn't a very eventful game and nothing very exciting happened until around 11 minutes or so. I made a poo poo ton of mistakes (the whole match). Wasn't even a good arty game for and I was #1 on our team I think. :cripes: But it was fun. I just had a few funny shots like COMPLETELY missing a target and destroying someone far behind him. Destroyed a unicum I think. Lots of whining, which gives me the strength to carry on. Tried to go arty hunting with my arty at the end since we were going to lose but couldn't find them in time. Ah well, I had fun. This isn't a Hellsau replay so disregard if you don't want to see a Mr. Fantastic game.

So here is my M53/55 fun steamroll of our team.

edit - btw, whoever said to start slinging gold arty is a good person. Tears... tears abound. Expensive, but worth it at high tiers.

Reminds me of a match I had in my Tiger II yesterday. Went down brawling with two heavies ahead of me that weren't fascist poo poo boxes and a sniper alley packed full of TDs behind ready to blow my rear end off. I fought those bastards for a full minute all alone. Whole team melted. Almost took down the IS-3 but I got stupid and wasted a shot. I bounced so many shells off my hull. It was crazy and I had fun. Even with the whole team melting, the top tier heavy being a base camping stat badder, and the slap in the face 250xp with premium.

Any other goons on afternoons US Eastern with any regularity these days? Could use some platoon buddies other than mostly in the evening.

I had a decent time when I was last active, but not great. The game seems a touch more responsive than back then and I also appear to have grown a small sense of tactical awareness. And/or the Hellsau School of Internet Tanking Warfare actually worked. I envision 'Press W and shoot red tanks' on a crest in Latin under a rampant clown-knight.
