The best part? You have to enter in the gift card's complete information so they can 'check the value' themselves and *then* give you a gold quote. But they adamantly state that "your gift card won't be used" or debited...they just need to check. Whereas pretty much every gift-card-buying website on the internet will just give you a quote when you give them a value.

It shocks me that they're so blatant with this cash grab. After the WTF-E100, I don't know why it would shock me but this is just "please give us money because we spent too much on planes."

Thank you. At least someone has some sense in this thread.

Juffo loves his 155 58, and there's no denying it can be good. But why gently caress around with 1250 damage shots (at best) when you can go whole hog one shots in a 261, GWE-100, or a 53/55 (the CGC really lost its luster with me.) Plus, with that autoloader on the 155 58 you might miss!

It's just inaccurate. I do much better damage in the 261 and 53/55. The firing arc, while much better than the 261, just isn't that great.

Axetrain posted:

I'll ask this to Southern Dandy. Are you, if at all, getting counter shot more often whilst playing arty since these missions have begun?

Things are about the same. If you're up against one arty you won't be CB'd. The more arty there are the higher the chance of some rear end in a top hat trying to kill you. With 3 arty per side it's pretty much guaranteed.

Always move after you shoot. I've been caught a few times being lazy, and it's embarrassing. You have nothing else to do for all those seconds after you fire, so you might as well shoot and scoot.

I think the rule is 2.5 heavy lengths (by that I mean figure 2.5 E100 lengths) to avoid a splash from a major arty firing gold, but I'm not really up on the finesse of things nowadays.

Oh and always assume your counterparts are firing gold. Even if you aren't firing it, most pub arty players aren't primarily arty players and will always fire gold as they are playing a "special occasion" tank. This means higher splash damage which is why you should shoot and scoot!

If you see a dedicated arty player on the enemy team, and they have more than two arty, beware. That fucker is gunning for you.

Oh, we haven't had an arty discussion/whine for the last 10 pages, so I guess it is that time of the month again.

Battle assistant is great for 2 reasons.
1: It is a graphically nicer interface for arty than the top down one.
2: It is easier to see what you can hit or not, which makes trick shots harder.

Besides that, arty is the same i.e. highly irregular and you can't carry for poo poo. You are still stuck with 30-40s reloads with horrible accuracy and where actually hitting something is down to RNGesus.
Arty is even more frustrating to play with a bad team than light tanks.

Interestingly, I have a harder time to judging tank speeds with Battle Assistant compared to the top down view.

Top down view is still very effective

Battle Assistant just makes you less likely to waste a shot that's almost certainly going to hit some terrain you aren't seeing properly in top down, it doesn't increase your accuracy in any way. Night before last I was firing my GW Panther at a stationary T-54, and the shell kept going over him. Each time I'd drag the reticle a little further forward, and it would still go over him, up to the 8th and final shot where I aimed so that the T-54 was just outside the back of the reticle and the shot still went long over the top of him.

I may have tunnel visioned a little, but that fucker should have been dead.

Son, we need to work on your firing patterns.

You don't shoot where they are, you shoot where they're going to be. Or your best estimation of that.

I'm glad to see the dispersion thing getting fixed some. There are a few t10 tanks that have decent armor if it wasn't for some obnoxious small weakspot that even a jp-100 or brit 183 variants could shove a shot into without question. On the other hand, I'm worried about artillery. In particular the lower tier minimal splash artillery. They are hard to drive as it is due to the 8.4 accuracy adjustment, bloom values, and the faster pace at those tiers. More near misses is going to cause a lot of free-xp to high tier artillery or at a minimum, everyone playing kv-2s for the s-51.

Also, the crew thing makes me extremely excited. I can recycle some of my t10 loaders into commanders with their two skills. IE, I can recycle them into sixth sense wielding commanders when a new branch is released without wanting to stab my eyes out training up such a crew. The loss of a loader to just 100% is really not that noticed. Radio operator too, but I don't think I have many radio operators in my t10 tanks.

Don't be glad. This is an arty nerf!
