Sela, Ziddy, and Rexxie: Gay-off
Ollie Tabooger and one other reacted to ANTICAMPER for a topic
Was watching Sela's stream to do the tonks better, dropped in during the usual hardest sux conversations, when on the comms a titled gay-off occurred . They were trying to be the "gayest" with Sela as the ref. However, Rexxie ended up winning with his super buff voice (sarcasm sign). Feel free to have your own gay-offs down below, and get to work on making rexxie like a title belt, but in this case a pink cat fanny pack.2 points -
Halloween Special! The Rise of the Snazz and the Fall of Rationality!
Akiyama and one other reacted to AnArmyofBun for a topic
Welcome to my Story thread! What follows is 29 pages of Gripping unicorn action. Find out if the Unicorns and Donkeys you know and love can face off against the Three Great Evil's and survive in this gripping tale of betrayal, murder, redemption and mystery! It's 29 pages long so, I'll do my best to break it up for you all. I can also send it in a txt file but that seems boring and this is more fun. The names and personalities of the Unicorns and Donkeys involved does not directly represent their namesakes. Please understand that. Also, forgive my horrible grammar. I'm not an Englis2 points -

Unhappy with the Current Meta
curlysbrotherjake and one other reacted to Rexxie for a topic
Camping is the current meta among the best of the best. This meta predates the camo changes, arty nerf, etc. The game has always favored camping, but since the T10 TD/MT introduction, map additions, accuracy tweak, and recent line releases (Leo, Waifu, 183) it is my opinion that it has jumped off the deep end. The constant reminder that the best tactic is usually the one that involves camping in the right spots at the right time is beyond frustrating. That is not to say that aggressive play is bad or that the meta makes the game unplayable. There are situations where the aggressor will win2 points -
Garbad's Thread of Tough Love and abuse 2: The search for grok
Brontoscorpio and one other reacted to Garbad for a topic
It means pick your battles. Like the M103, your armor is solid against most 8 and low pen/derpy 9/10s. So against an IS-6, smash his face in as he struggles to frontally pen you. Be aggressive and bully him. Against a T-54, don't let him precision fire or hit your sides and the same applies. But when facing an E-75, avoid the frontal fight and use your speed/hull down/fire control. In tier 10 games, likewise, avoid the front line, chip in with support fire and rapid pop out shots. Its a good blend of bully, flexibility, and support and is a very good tank, imo.2 points -

"Realism" usually makes for a pretty terrible game. I mean if it was "realistic" 50% of the time you chose a German tank it wouldn't start, and you'd be limited to about 2/3 of its top speed because otherwise it stripped the gearbox.2 points -

Unhappy with the Current Meta
Expendable_Lad and one other reacted to Sprak for a topic
Light tanks are the counter to World of TDs, and I think light tanks are still viable - T71, 13 90, 132 all do well. The problem is people are just #xXxYOLOswag420xXx with their light tanks and light tanks are very very unforgiving. I agree that the current meta heavily favours high alpha TDs, but it's possible to defeat that with a knowledgeable scout. My biggest beef right now is all the tiny shitty maps that they're introducing that force CQB, which is a giant fuck you for light tanks. Severegorsk/Tundra, even Northwest all have very defined "lanes" of attack, and no real spots where scout2 points -

Stop with the darn font.2 points -
I free XP'd up to tier 6 of the new line, and here's my experience with them: Nashorn. Great penetration, aim time, and accuracy, but lacking alpha damage. Camouflage is decent, but not enough to keep it covered while shooting. Speed? You're a Hummel with a different gun. Sluggish, bad top speed. But it turns good. Decent, but not a keeper. I didn't like it that much. Sturer Emil. Good gun with amazing depression, but only 14 shells. Very poor speed, accelerates worse than a Super Pershing, with an even worse top speed. Shitty camouflage, PLUS it's huge. Horrible gun arc, to2 points

Yesterday some horribads in tier 10s threw a game on Sigfried. It was amazing. Then I swore I'd TK the next sub-45% baddie I saw. Next game, there was a 43%er with 3-4k battles. I check to make sure he was sentient, and told him to check out the forum.wotlabs.net, i'd help his play, make it more fun, and he said "cool" Then I got artied and rage uninstalled.2 points -

Unhappy with the Current Meta
Brontoscorpio and one other reacted to Rexxie for a topic
This highlights another problem; aggressive players have become a joke. Half of it is because the meta says no, the other half because only bad players haven't figured out the meta. We use words like "lemmings" and "yoloers" to rightfully shame these players while sitting there happy that we can rip these players to shreds because of the overwhelming amount of mechanics that let us do so. Like, take a look at your advice you just gave on how to win games: Get to a forward position and camp there, since anyone who tries to be aggressive against you is at an inherent disadvantage.

Moving my Marder II crew to Marder 38T to 100%
JDASprawler reacted to dualmaster333 for a topic
This is a helpful tool: http://www.planetwot.com/Crewxp/ Laforet has the right numbers, but so you know how to do it in the future: Retraining a 100% crew for credits takes the crew down to 90% on the primary skill. Using the calculator, you can see that to go from 90% to 100% on the primary skill requires ~39,000 XP. Thus, your "overflow" amount needs to be at least 39k.1 point -
Moving my Marder II crew to Marder 38T to 100%
JDASprawler reacted to Laforet for a topic
You will need 50415 (86% to 100%) + 39153 (90% to 100% again) = 89568 exp to be able to transfer and get 100% crew, that is 273 games without accelerated crew training or approximately 190 games with accelerate crew training on. Also the crew exp per game display may be bugged right now and the number may be lower than what it really is.

The issue here, is that you've announced intent to start ANOTHER clan in a giant community that has issue keeping track of all it's folks already. This isn't something that should be casually announced on Wotlabs before being spoken about to any of the people who run the community. We have TS space, image, and integration to consider. Additional clans cannot just be started on the fly right now.1 point

I need to fix my T-44 crew
Folterknecht reacted to GloatingSwine for a topic
I wouldn't reccomend a WAR. Just having Safe Stowage on the loader is enough to take your ammo rack HP over the threshold that 122mm guns will destroy it on a single shot on average, and even stacking Safe and Wet ammo won't take you over the amount you'd need to prevent it going yellow.1 point -

Do both, for example you could grind out the T69 and continue to the T57, or 1390->Batchat, that right there gives you access to two for each. You could also keep grinding the 50100 some more towards the 50B, add in the 704 grind that you're close to finishing and you have several options. Personally I would choose the tournament route and grind out the 1390 and eventually the Batchat, while also working on the crews for 50 100 and 110. Having these three tanks would give you a lot of flexibility in tournaments, the 110 serves you just as well as the IS3 while the 1390 and 50 100 are ob1 point

this wolverine right here: look at where hes parked. he literally drove right in front of me, knowing full well I was sitting in that bush, parked in front of me, and then pushed me out of the bush. hes a good player. his stats show that, so he wasn't doing this out of sheer lack of brain cells. he was purposely doing this to troll me. so, because we really couldn't be bothered with this shit, and we were winning 8-3 by then, each of the members of my platoon put one shot into him, and TK'd him. no we shouldn't of done that, but really I couldn't be bothered with this bullshit an1 point

need help on T-62A
mkosulin reacted to precambrian for a question
I second this tbh, I'm having boatloads of trouble in the 62A. I'm not really sure what it is about the tank, I guess it just lacks the bully factor that the 54 does, but I actually do worse in it than I do in the tier 9 counterpart (3.2k vs 2.9k dpg, 2 vs 1.7 kills per game, lower survival, 10% lower win rate (about equal proportion of platooning)). It just feels like when my team is melting, I don't have the ability to influence the battle anywhere, just the way maps are designed forces me to fight in narrow corridors that ends up getting me spotted and td'ed for literally all my hp's.

Yeah, I get the "realism" angle. But, in the immortal words of SerB: "Want realism? Join the army". I'm one of the people who appreciates all the prototype/paper tanks in WoT because where else would you ever have a chance to play them or even see them other than in a museum or blueprint? Although, tbh, their "realistic" tech tree has a few odd choices and plenty of WTF in it anyway. Reality is nice, and all, but it's also pretty boring in some respects.
