Did they announce sales for Christmas? Due to I already got a T34, so the FCM seems like the logical choice.

Bob A Feet posted:It can print damage pretty well, its gun is solid, but everyone knows you're a big soft barn of a target. Other than that I've really enjoyed mine. It does pretty well on money, too. Not as well as the T34 for me but still good. I would however only run it in pref platoons. It rolls really well with KV-5's and IS-6's. That's what I figured. It moves quick and it does have a nice gun. FCM will be my platoon tank :-). Just hope they put it on sale...

Stupid question, why does the bush in this video sort of disappear as he zooms in? http://youtu.be/yu4M4DJrnTs?t=33m23s Is it because he has some graphic setting jacked up all the way? Because I have all of mine down low and what happens to the bush in this video does not.

Illegal Carrot posted:I'm like 90% sure it's just an in-game graphical setting. When the camera is far away from some foliage, it'll looks low-res, blocky, and hard to see past. But as the camera gets closer (you drive closer, or zoom in), it renders the foliage in much greater detail, allowing you to see past individual leaves and branches like in the video. I play at max graphical settings and that's exactly how it is for me, thought I have no idea exactly which setting(s) may affect it. Unfortunately I'm out of town for a few days, so I can't test it out or give you a better answer than that. I play at the lowest setting for foliage and what happens in this video does not happen for me. When I actually get home I will do some testing. I don't think improved foliage will kill my FPS too much anyway.

OTTER is rolling forth a new initiative to be a more "friendly" clan. I had a feeling this was coming after we It is weird that I kind of agree with this initiative. I do love being a dick to terrible pubbies, but it feels like this game is dying faster than it seems. What do you guys think? Should it be the better clans duty to guide the garbage through the trash heap?

OSad posted:So what artillery is exactly "meta" in the defense/attack skirmishes and clan warts right now? I thought the B-C 155 58 was still hot poo poo because it has a turret, autoloader and can relocate fast, but apparently the 261 is much, much better at straight-up eliminating players with AP. GC, 261, M53/55 and sometimes the Batchat arty are what are used in CW right now. I am a heathen, so I never run AP with my 261.

Had a really solid game in my 215b yesterday. I side sidescraped and absorbed 3 WTF shots, 2 E5 shots and 2 4202 shots. Was it dumb luck? Sort of. But that being said I am going to miss this tank when it goes the way of the dodo. It is a pretty trolly tank when it is not out in the open. Gun lays down the pain like nothing else and it has a fantastic HP pool. Did I mention the gun? It is really nice. What am I not telling you is that the second I went out in the open for 10 seconds I got hit by an arty and a 183. Sky helpers, please don't help me out of the game so quick.

Don't get me wrong it is a great little tank, but oh boy I cannot win.

Cardiac posted:The E4 is not a bad tier10 at all. 750 alpha, reasonable armour and a turret is not a bad combination. I enjoy my E4 also, just got to keep reminding yourself that you are not a heavy. It's a great mid-range tank, it's accuracy is not the best but its turret gives it good versatility for closer range fights. Find some

MoraleHazard posted:\For getting gud, is it smarter to stick with, say one Tier V or Tier VI tank, or perhaps play only one type of tank like mediums? I tended to jump from heavy to TD to light kind of as I felt like it, but playing a map in a TD or in a medium could be very different. Right now I'm doing just one class of tank in an evening so yesterday it was all mediums. I "got good" at this game by playing the American heavies and Soviet tank destroyers. The American heavies are quite forgiving, have good guns and pretty great speed. Being a heavy gives you some HP/Armor to make mistakes and not be brutally punished*. Playing these makes you realize how important any kind of support is. Rushing in alone to protect an empty front might be the "unicum" choice to make, but with our support you are probably going to get hosed by the fury of blistering retards with godly RNG. One last thing, heavies help to give you a good idea on how to angle your tank so your tracks take shots or to juke a shot from the pubbie horde. The td's showed me the importance of map control and positioning. TD's that are on the red line jerking off do nothing for the team; yes you are getting damage but your team is hosed because you did not provide support. Your heavies and mediums did not push up far enough to deter an enemy rush? Get the gently caress out of there. Your heavies and mediums are in a decent spot? Find a bush at a safe distance and make the enemies feel the pain. If your gun is not constantly firing as a TD you are not doing your job. Also, be very VERY mindful of the mini-map. Tunnel vision gets the best of us, try not to do it. Don't be afraid to rush when you see an opportunity. Map control wins games, and taking out the top-guns help to secure it. Easy kills are nice, but take out the threats when you have the chance. *Depends on how bad you gently caress up. If you hosed up bad, you will be dead no matter what tank you are in. Edit: Keep tanks you do good in. It helps to remind you why you play this game (or why you SHOULD be playing the game). It also helps to keep the game fun and deterring the feeling of it being too grindy.

Magres posted:Man how the gently caress do you light tank? I'd given up until these goddamned missions and it's just making me remember why I hate playing them. I'm terrible at it and it drives me crazy. Anyone have any really, really comprehensive guides I can try to get my footing with? Play like a grimy piece of poo poo. Take pot shots and never expose yourself for a long period of time. If you light is fast enough you can be a brave little boy and active spot. If your light is not a fastest, you can passive scout in a bush close to the front lines. Just remember: DON'T loving PANIC. If you are lit, you are hosed anyway.
