It's been a while, but I am back into WoT, and I feel that it's probably for the better that I try to get into the habit of platooning more. I still want to learn from better players, but I also am not afraid of playing with everyone basically! I am on NA, and have every tier besides 2 and lower naturally.

@leggasiini surprised you dislike Glacier, I actually like that map, one of the better new maps for a while, has an air of Prohk about it IMO and one of the few maps that you have options on.

I wouldn't say so? On paper, the dpm is almost identical with rammer (IS4: 2606.83 705A: 2553.14) but 705A has the bigger alpha of 650. The 705A has superior hull dispersion numbers which allows it to wiggle better, but I don't know if the terrible accuracy (0.42 vs 0.36) will be the dealbreaker in firepower department. Armorwise, both tanks have weakspots that can be overmatched by APCR in sidescrape mode (IS4: 30mm engine deck at the back, 30mm strip above the gun. 705A: frontal engine deck at 40mm). IS4 loses here because NATO 120 railguns and meds can punch through 30mm but not 40mm. 705A has superior power-to-weight ratio but terrain resistance sucks hard. I don't have the tanks, so I can't tell who wins in mobility. Instead of comparing with IS-4, I think 705A is more like a meta version of the fail lowe/e100. A small dip in firepower in exchange for Stalinium turret and smaller LFP, I would take that any day. But then 60TP will powercreep em all

They are usually a series so I'm assuming the next one has the higher tier turning up and winning. -

Some days you wake up and wonder what cancer looks like. Then later that same day you actually come face-to-face with it: I actually had to make an exception and clear a space for him in my blacklist. Too big of a trashbag not to be added. Plus like typical arty he drowned himself at the end of the match. I may actually end up being banned for 24 hours soon if I come across him again. TK on the fucking spot. -

Has anyone got tips pm how to play Fisherman's Bay? I always struggle on it and never know what to do. I generally camp mid but most of the time feels like I am doing nothing.

Quick tanks should go mid, and spot tanks crossing to city, if you play a heavium, you can try 1-2 if have support for it. Pubbies aren't playing city that much, so once you make sure city is clear, you can start flanking through it, or playing mid more aggro having city as your safe side. If you can't do this, you have nothing to do but stay mid(HT/TDs). With lights and meds you can try to spot for your team. If they win city, relocate to 1-2 or farm them from mid if you have decent armor good enough to stay hull down.

1-2 line is terrible to push you are literally pushing into camping tds and arty can kill the entire area. Even the windmill is not arty safe if they play around J9. And if you spawn south when you try to climb up B1 you get murdered from the mid if the enemies have a competent scout or someone camping in the bushes near the cap.
The city is very hard to push. From north you are put into a crossfire from F9 and F0 and if you push you can take so much damage for simply crossing. And south gets destroyed in a similar way from C0 and D9
I feel that any possible aggression route is closed if the enemy camps in the right spot and the team that loses is the one that tries to push first.
I have more trouble when I play heaviums or meds as when I play LTs I generally know my way around to spot the middle campers, but with those tanks I feel always unsure of what to do.

city is so easy, win, flank mid and gg

Just won a 2v7 in my Luchs with a Hummel in a tier 6 game with 0:08 on the clock. I think I can quit WoT happily now.

Have around 25 games in this so far. Somewhat potato crew (no camo skills to speak of, just BIA/repair + 6S/SS/CB/FF), running optics until I can grind some vision and camo skills (I don't want to move my better RU med crews yet and have to retrain SA off of the loader). It's comfier than I expected. good bully, goes hull-down nicely where the terrain undulates just a bit (not enough that the lack of gun dep matters), and the gun is perfectly nice. I'm not setting any records or anything in it, but I'm not totally stinking up the joint, either. I still prefer the more mobile platform of the T54 (along with its extra degree of gun dep and higher RoF), but I like this better than I expected.

Currently 12 games in with ~3k dmg with a 145 wn8 game, if I can sustain it I think 3mark will be about 100games in. This tank seems to age pretty well (surprise surprise) in the current meta that emphasizes brawls and efficient trading. I really like the RNG armor: it’s not reliable but it provides extra exposure time by preventing snapshots. It’s no skoda/spagetto in late-game situations but a bigger alpha (4x390 vs 3x320) allows you to decimate shitters much quicker during mid game when you have limited chance to poke in a corridor. Tank is small and agile enough to avoid arty racism, and pubbies are less inclined to yolo you (see: 50 120). 35-40kmh+255pen is adequate to contest and hunt down overextended heaviums in popular brawling spots. The bad thing, as previous poasters stated, is the terrible gun control and pen. The 8 depression is kinda useless since you can’t hillpoke and snapshot (a la E50/Patton style). Due to the unsatisfactory accuracy, you are pretty much forced to take a pen to the turret, or otherwise accept 2/4 even 1/4 hits which is terrible for your dpm. This inability to deliver your clip is more or less mitigated if you pick your targets and play hide and seek with your prey. Because of low max speed, you can't rotate between flanks easily, so you lose a major way to (1) reset enemy attention (2) reload. Instead, you need to be very mindful of enemy tendencies at the current flank. I find the challenging part of driving this tank is to strike a fine balance in maintaining an element of surprise while keeping your gun active at the same time. The first few clips thus become incredibly important, because you want to jumpstart the snowball at your current flank with a boulder. If your current flank is in a deadlock and the other flank is falling apart, this means you made a failed prediction at the beginning. Rotating is usually too late. I either go bushkemp to salvage damage, or yolo and hope my teammates follow me . But either way you lose HP or map control. Trading HP to keep your meatshields alive is actually not a bad idea in this tank, because late game you won't have as many opportunities to single people out as compared to other clip tanks. After I've won a flank I usually go back base, because digging out camping TDs is a mission impossible in this thing. The gun works just fine when you ambush enemies crossing in the open. If shit hits the fan, remember your glorious final shot is worth 1560 alpha. Equipment: GLD+Vents+VStab+Food, I don’t think optic is very useful for its niche as an ambusher/trader/heavium hunter, and with bad camo and bad speed I rarely goes on hunt in the late game.

Just had a very chill session, 35 games lost without a win. I never ever had lost this many games in a row or session ever. Astounding. I switched servers twice, nothing happened. Every time 3/4 of my team did 0 damage. I think I've never seen games like these since 2013 or so. Also I'm grateful because once started as a fun hobby, now became a nuisance semi-addiction which I know will quit for a good while. Thank you wg.

A place for Northern spawn in the new Erlenburg to take potshots against heavies. Notice the enemy WZ hasn't advanced past the bridge: You can adjust the angle (to shoot into different parts of the city) by hugging the hill near you. Enemies will be distracted by your teammate across the river. However, the distance is ~370m and you will potentially get spotted. Be opportunistic or drive a Swedish wedge. From Southern spawn you can drive to outskirts of the central brawling complex and play similar angles to counter the meds on the 9 line hill. -

Have some cash to spare, interested in a 50TP since the Polish tree looks really fun so far and I need a good credit grinder other than the Lowe.
I enjoy the game but I don't want to drop $50 when I could buy an entirely new game for the same price or even a new pair of Chucks.
Who has one and was it worth the price?

Scouting is not bad. Bushes still work. Maps are just shit (the changed ones) plus fewer players play td's so spotting means less

The difference a patch can make.... One of my favourite tanks pre 1.0. But thanks to the new fucked up bush mechanics I now have to proxy spot Shitbarns and arty despite having 478m view range. Cause scouting wasn't hard enough already. GG WG. GG. T49 is the only higher tier scout left for me. At least it can go KV-2 mode when necessary (often).
