  1. Kuroialty This is an interesting perspective but there is one key component overlooked from your analysis that I believe leads you to some erroneous conclusions. In all minor sports low tier play (younger ages/beginners) is dominated by strong individuals and high tier play (older/more developed) is dominated by unified teams. This is pre-dominantly outside of any established “game mechanic” and is directly related to player growth and development. As some point the strength of the team overshadows that of the strong individual. In WoT the DPM-to health may certainly be a

  2. Well, there had to be someone to parrot the same stale arguments that I've heard for years. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so flawed or I hadn't already addressed them. The problem with talking about low tier play as unskilled and high tier play as skilled in the context of minor sports is that in these sports, you are dealing with the same game from top to bottom. Soccer in elementary school is the same game with the same rules as soccer in the World Cup, albeit with larger playing fields to accommodate physical growth. Novice chess players move their pieces according to the sa

    Introduction

    Not sure I would recommend the E4 line myself. I've had a pretty awful experience with it past the Hellcat, though meta shifts and balance changes also leave the performance level of the Hellcat and T67 in question. I think people will have a much better time of giving you suggestions for other lines to get into if you could share what qualities you like about the E4 line or TDs in general and if there are any qualities of other lines that you dislike.

  4. My time with the I-Go was mostly around the initial release of all the Japanese heavies, so perhaps that inflated my performance a bit by there being more health to go around. By the same token however, without the large distance maps to render them obsolete, autocannon tanks should have been much more prominent that time as well. Maybe both factors don't quite cancel out though. Even so, I don't feel that's enough to explain why no other clubbers have picked up and taken this tank seriously. Maybe all of the big clan and other big name tier 2 slummers are garbage and can't fight c

  5. Lol, I can see how this is more of an entertaining than informative read. Anyway, I think you could have mentioned how the this huge house of a TD actually shifts quite well with its powerful engine. Also, while the armour is tissue paper on most of the tank, the significant mantlet and slightly sloped UFP can get some bounces at range. Another thing you neglected to mention is the piss-poor gun arc which is a huge issue if one wants to play it as a clunky assault gun. All in all, a fun read, 8/10. And yay since the blogs have returned!

  6. Allurai's post about its dominance dates to the vision map era and the influence of the T67/E25 etc has certainly waned since then.

  12. Well, whatever. Thanks for telling us you're not a good enough player to play higher tiers I guess. You're not getting much out of this game if you're not exploring all the tiers.

  13. I haven't seen the last two season due to my wife's aversion to graphic violence, but I've mainly given up on the series just because of the novels. The first three (ok, maybe 2 and a half) are great. It started going bad with book 4 wasting a bunch of time on characters I don't give a rat's ass about. Then book five made me stop caring about the story at all. I've never seen so many pages detailing so damn little actual story. And the amount of shit that he puts the characters through has achieved comical proportions. Either he's just trolling us now or he is in serious need of an edito
