Lord of Garbagemen posted:Nah I dont follow it too much , just heard people mention it in ts. I think the main thing is that they were trying to get rid of the phenomenon on lights that simply hitting the battle button for a competent player was 3k wn8. If you are still crushing with the m41 you will still see inflated wn8. playing tanks that pubbies like to suicide with, is a easy way to raise wn8, not only lights.. but lights that are overperforming are extremly easy to get a nice score in, m41, elc, amx90.. etc playing Soft armored tanks also comes to mind, like batchat, leopard, 50B... anything that you cant drive without at least some experience with the game.

Computer viking posted:Ha, I'm kind of prepared for that. Seems like a fun tank in isolation - drives well, good gun. Shame it melts quickly and seems to be significantly less value to a team than an equally good E100 (or whatever) ... but so far I actually enjoy tooling around in it. didnt it just get an armor buff and reload buff? i think its pretty good now.

Poil posted:There are too many tanks and tds in this game, and they all have stupid letters and numbers as names making it impossible to keep them apart. Especially bad when models show up from different countries with different properties. How the hell does anyone manage to keep track of all that? Forget trying to remember weakspots or guns and armor values or even telling if a tank has one gun instead of another unless it's something obvious with an old model like the KV2 with a derp or long gun. This is why going up to T10 ASAP is a bad idea

BIG HEADLINE posted:Well, prioritize the D-10T2S, because the 140 is a better T-62A. Even though clans want more than one T10, the way the T-62A is spoken about now is "seriously...no one else has a 140 that's not locked...okay, I *guess* you can bring your -62A..." we just call them "russian mediums" , doesnt matter which one anyone picks, they are all so similar that the difference isnt noticeable in CW.

rossmum posted:No, my argument is that its front doesn't bounce anything and its turret is no benefit to it if it gets circled anyway, so you may as well drive something with no turret but actual armour. Wrong, once again, the turrets makes the E4 so much more flexible then any other T10 TD. Not having to turn your tank around corners/hard cover is what makes it. and best armor is not getting shot in the first place. E4 shots through anything and can expect the same thing in return. no problem there, and with a 750 alpha you can trade shots with almost anything.

rossmum posted:... no rossmum, unless your a tomato and placing yourself in the open grassfield, there shouldnt be any problem trading shots. If there is a t62 wanting to trade a 320 shots for a 750, then thats my point. your not gonna stand there, takin next shot, because then your back behind cover. The turret gives you that advantige over turretless TD's, you dont need to turn to shoot. reload doesnt matter, can be 20+ sec whatever

rossmum posted:That might sound fine in theory but... It doesnt just sound fine, it works. This game isnt about 1on1, you dont sign any "death warrant" by missing shots. what signs your death warrant is not useing the terrain as cover. Most likely id drive my e4 out when i see that you allready have shot at something else, then if you peek out again, you get a 750shot, and maybe you hit a snapshot back.. Effectivly lockin down your position, you'll proberly relocate then take a E4 shot, so suddenly I have control over that area. E4 is really flexible tank, good on all maps. Im not familiar with the difference between EU and NA servers, but i get a feeling that there's alot worse/smaller playerbase in NA, and you have to play smarter in EU to stay in the top.

Should I just jump in, or is the learning curve steep? try to stay alive, use terrain as cover, that will be your hardest part. the spotting mechanic is the most confusing, (how you see other tanks, and when they see you), other then that, its just a shooting game with tanks..

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:The game is 1000% less frustrating if you turn off win percentage/wn8 and turn off chat when you're not trolling. Playing tanks as a single player game with an interesting but really goofy AI solves a whole lot of frustration problems. This. Dont need to turn off wn8, seeing who's xvm arty or decent, is nice to know about. But win percentage is bullshit. Dont ever trust your team to win for you, do it yourself.

And about the silver nerd : Devs want to create more butthurt then there already is about premium ammo fun times ahead

notwithoutmyanus posted:Use gold whenever feels right, all the time is an option of course. I'm not denying good ACPR on the 1390. Something is wrong if you can't make 170 pen work against anything other than tanks with >170mm sides, though. Those are when gold is a must. You have a genuine playstyle problem if you can't figure out how to aim for weak spots or position to shoot the side of tanks. With 40 sec reload time on amx 1390, you dont have option to switch ammo whenever 170pen will be enough. Its one of those tanks where you just only carry one ammo type, like most autoloaders. The amx 1390 also has very little ammo, and will run out of ammo often. And since you'll see t10 games mostly, you'll need all the apcr you can get.

rossmum posted:Because it doesn't normalise, it doesn't handle spaced armour well, and tracks eat it? Shooting all HEAT out of anything above tier 5 that isn't an E100 is dumb as all hell and the mark of a bad player who desperately wants to be one of the cool kids. I think the t54/55 is the exseption from this rule, due to the difference in pen between normal AP and heat. I think AP is 200'ish and Heat is 330'ish? , which makes a huge difference. who needs normalization when you get 100+ exstra pen. just shoot anything in front instead of tracks and your fine, even turrets are easy pens. personally i avoid heat due to spaced armor/tracks myself. but the t54 is one of the few i carry lots of heat, and im close to gettin the t55 as well

Im not sure, but i think the lower requirement for EU & RU is that alot more clans, means its harder win a landing and aquire/keep a Territory for all the terrible clans. Everyone who was slighty active in my clan seems to have gotten the tank. I even just got 60K fame the last day, in 3 Battles. so its almost no effort whatsoever. having 2 swabia maps doh was a joke. 2nd and 3rd Place in EU got a free ride to the top, playing in Northern swabia without any real opposition.

unlawfulsoup posted:WN8 and Winrate combined are pretty much the only half decent barometer of skill in the game. Between the two you know if someone wins games and if they can actually damage the enemy. You can pad them, but the general idea holds water. I agree With this, 65%+ wr + Purple/blue wn8 usualy tells the truth, especially if the player has over 20k+ Battles, Battles played also tells alot about experience, but rerollers With 3500+ wn8 know their poo poo as well...

Hellsau posted:Funny story - when people accuse me of being a stat padder because I played a lot of Hellcat, T49/T67, T18 and Ltraktor, I know they're just full of poo poo. My WN8 in them is horrendous - it's sabotaging my overall stats because having 800 games in a tank hundreds of WN8 below overall WN8 is kind of difficult. My stats actually come from playing a bunch of tier 8s and 7s, and COINCIDENTALLY ENOUGH the T-54 is a stat padding tank. 400 games in it, 3200 WN8, in one of the agreed upon best tier 9s? Okay I wonder why a bunch of stat padders would designate one of the known stat padder tanks as a tank with favorable expected values? Wn8 is based upon how others do in that one tank respectivly. So as long as its a popular tank, all players(most are bad) will be drawn to play it, doesnt matter if the tank is good or bad. Tiger I is a Perfect exsample. Its a overbuffed deathstar of a tank now, and it still has very low average wn8 performance. do you own HP back in damage and your a statspadder god. The t-54 is another exsample, its a tank from the beginning, thats allways been a favorite to play, but With only 200pen bad players will have a very hard time playing it. on the other hand, good players will do awsome in it, because its a very very good tank to play, a high skill/ high reward tank.

Hellsau posted:The level I played the T-54 at does not deserve 3275 average WN8. I unlocked both tier tens from it, playing 374 games in it, and padded my WN8 sky high merely by playing a great tank decently. A metric shouldn't reward people who are seeking to pad the metric for playing the tanks that they were already going to play to pad other metrics. That defeats the entire purpose. By all means reward the player who can make the Sturer Emil or A-44 or SU100-M1 work for them, but the T-54 has 160 less expected damage than Type 61 and the goddamn Centurion 7. That's not appropriate. You shouldn't be expected to perform better in a worse tank to receive the same outcome. It will even out eventually when you grind up other tanks. one-trick ponys are easy to discover.. Your t-54 performance is superior to others t-54 drivers, what else is there to say? there's only a few tanks that are this way, due to popularity of that tank. there's very few "padders", the overall population doesnt care, and wn8 together with wr is the best metric atm. edit : if you a decent player, you'll get the same wn8 in Your other t9 mediums as the t-54 Descar fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jul 13, 2015 |

JohnGalt posted:Have you never played light/medium tanks? it doesnt favor them, its just that light/mediums are high skill / high reward tanks. it means, if Your good, it will show on your wn8 very clearly, but you need to know spotting mechanics + have map experience + Battle experience, then its easy to outperform clumsy and slow tanks. a Nice exsample is the t95, you can put a superunicum into it, and it wount perform that much better then a tomato, due to very Limited options, its very low skill / low reward tank. the total opposite would be the amx 13 90, puttin a superunicum into this tank, and he has all the options he needs to change the Battle, only missing armor/alpha, total opposite of t95.
