E-25 talk It kinda depends. I run mine with rammer, camonet and binocs. On a lot of maps I can get to positions where I can spot enemy tanks the instant they're within the 445m limit, and shoot them without being spotted until they're somewhere between 200m and 300m. Sometimes they'll even stop, and obligingly let me shoot them more while they curse about invisitanks, or I'll just track'em and laugh. Of course, some games I play much more aggressively and get in close and personal, at which point the net and binocs do nothing, but then again vents/optics/whatever is extremely rarely gonna be a lifesaver anyway. Of course it all depends on the map and team tank composition and stuff.

Dear WGNA. If you want me to take a break from the game, just say it! Don't use convoluted bullshit mechanics to tell me, give it to me straight! Helped our JPE-100 kill the enemy T-57, then a waffle clipped me, ignoring the 500-hp JPE. At least our team had better players and it was a win!

The pubbies, while bad, haven't really been the biggest problem. loving packetloss all goddamned day has been. The little light in the upper left corner blinks red at least once every couple of seconds. So I'll see tanks mini-warping around when it gets bad, and then you get poo poo like when I pulled up on the side of an M103 and he kept his turret turned forward, and then I exploded. He shot me. Except I never saw the turret turn. Good times.

Last night, while trying to sleep, my brain told me that it's too bad there's not going to be an Italian tree. Not because the tanks would be anything special or whatever, but because they'd go great together with a soundpack made from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skb2gKR7rOk

Infected posted:SS advertised the Battle Assistant mod, so now everyone who plays arty runs it. It helps all the pubs who don't get firing arcs, so you get what looks like a general increase in accuracy with artillery. It actually helps anyone who isn't rainman when it comes to remembering/figuring out your arty's arc and the incline of that hill the thing you're shooting is hiding behind. Shots on poo poo more or less in the open it does nothing for, but partially hidden poo poo? Holy crap.

KcDohl posted:Relative tier matters. If the BC was just loving with 9s and the E4 hit/spotted 10s it's totally possible. I know relative tier matters, but we're talking tier 10 tanks here so it's not like they can shoot higher tier tanks for bonus exp, and shooting down seems to have less of an effect. I mean, adding up damage and spotting damage the BatChat literally did more than 4 times the damage the E4 did. Then of course there's the whole shooting stuff you're not spotting yourself, but they both got spotting damage so...yeah. I dunno.

Uh, what you're describing there is the way the control scheme currently works. Do you mean there's an option letting you turn different ways with the same button, depending on whether you're reversing or going forward? Ninjaedit: think I found it, under controls, below mouse sensitivity, Reverse inversion.

rockopete posted:Ah I'm utter poo poo at articulating. The setting I have it at means that A will always turn my tank's nose to the left, regardless of forwards or backwards movement. Meaning that if I'm trying to rotate my front end to face someone, I use the same directional key going forwards or reversing. Ah right, I see. So basically to keep your front towards an enemy tank trying to circle you, you'll go from AW to AS, while I'll go from AW to SD. I'm still sure not how people see this as "natural", but you're not the first case to ask about the reverse inverse function. I guess you're just special snowflakes!

I also like how the tip for an arty mission (kill a light tank) says that you should look to kill light tanks because they are very dangerous to artillery, they'll look for an opening in your team's defense so they can rush through and kill arty. Yeah. In 2013! That poo poo isn't even a thing any more most of the time...

My dumb mission was track tank and do damage to it. Secondary objective was destroy a tracked tank. Two enemy tanks left, a waffle and arty. Enemy waffle is looking the other way, I zoom up from behind in my batchat. I have time. I aim in, shoot him in the track, he's tracked, aim for gunshield and HOLY poo poo HUGE TANK as the Patton M46 on my own team charges in front of me to block my shot and shoot and kill the waffle. THANKS ASSHAT. And no, there's no way he didn't know exactly what he did, because there was plenty room for him to round the corner and shoot the waffle without getting in my way. So shot him in the rear end. He caught fire. He didn't have an extinguisher. He started slowly turning his turret towards me - slowly cause his crew was burning - and stopped his tank. To aim better or something. And then the enemy arty blapped him and he exploded. He didn't say anything in chat, but I got this after battle: He closed convo immediately after that, and put me on ignore Edit: Jack_tripper posted:since they're making light tanks the designated spotters now (as if 90% of people in light tanks give a poo poo about spotting but whatever), how about nerfing some of those light tanks' guns Remember that light tanks get MM one tier up. So putting a tier 8 light's gun and a tier 8 medium's gun next to each other doesn't really work. Valle fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jan 15, 2015 |

 ATTNThe broken windows when you finish a mission is caused by XVM. If you go to your favourite modpack of choice and get the latest XVM it'll be fixed. Kinda. Edit: Holy gently caress, WG are such trolls:

BIG HEADLINE posted:Seeing as people get more fatigued over time, it's going to be common that people do what the next mission entails, but find they've forgotten to *start* said mission. If you've fixed XVM, then the window that opens when you finish a mission has a button that when you click, opens the campaign bit and selects the next mission of that line for you. Of course, you STILL have to actually click the START button, but at that point it shouldn't be too hard to do.

A tip for people doing the TD missions, TD-12 says you have to do damage to an enemy tank before they damage your team. This is actually completely wrong. The real mission is do 1k damage and kill a heavy. Don't ask me how this got hosed up, but it did. Also, TD-13 says you both have to do most damage on team, and twice as much as the number 2 guy on team. You'd think that stating you have to do twice as much damage as the next guy would be enough right? Well apparently that part isn't supposed to be there at all. Had a 1700dmg loss in my Hellcat, dude in 2nd had 1200, mission completed! Some of them have bad wording, some are straight up wrong.

So this is one of those that is flat out wrong. He followed up with this: 'Kassimila posted:Perhaps I wasn't quite clear. Ignore the fact that it says 'hidden'.
