I don't have it, but just looking at its statistics on tanksgg, I'd go hardening, turbo (mobility slot), rammer. Then maybe swap the turbo for IRM on maps like Ensk where hull traverse trumps top speed. The mob. slot would help the IRM too.

That tank is so so so bad!

Do you have enough for the key? Are you going to buy some?

I have almost no gold, but I'm okay with keeping it that way. I don't really want to invest anything in this game anymore.

I don't use mods because they're as unfair and unsportsmanlike as firing gold ammo 

Yes, as part of Aslain's modpack. It's interesting, but not sure if that useful. I notice I don't really take heed of it in battle itself.

It's been a must have for me for at least a few years (since I started using Aslain).

Shell flight time is the most valuable bit (especially for arty), but the dynamic aim time is great as well. Being able to time peeking before reload is fully finished, having a reference point when deciding whether to snap shot/aim partially/aim fully.

There is also a dynamic shot dispersion display; I have it disabled, but am interested in using it to test out some theories on equipment & gun handling.

getting blown up mid air was unlucky, but did add something to it

Now this is podracing!

Oh Baby a Tripple!

I'd love some feedback on that. What do you think I could add to improve the WoTLabs experience?

One big thing that stands out to me is having something similar to tomato's session log. Wotlabs' period breakdowns are great, but being able to see all your individual sessions at a glance and break those down is wonderful. At the very least making the current breakdowns more visible and not entirely hidden behind a Show button might be an improvement. I think that's info a lot of people are interested in seeing but might not know exists.

I also like that you can see your WGR there. I know it gets memed on, but it's something casual players like looking at.

Tank curves are also huge to me, but I'm not sure that's entirely within what you see for wotlabs. It also sounds a little expensive to actually make useful

I know this is absolutely outside of wotlabs' scope, but if there's a developer out there with more storage capacity than sense, any VBA replacement site would instantly become the most popular fansite in the game. There's a lot of demand. Showing the most effective/popular equipment/crew configs, tank economy stats helping people decide what to buy, etc. are all things people adored and just don't exist currently.

yea i feel like vbaddict is the most missed resource with no real alternative

also the fact that tomato.gg pulls from NA seems to skews things so much compared to other similar sites, considering lower population and how that affects data

*like*
What equipment are you running? Still feeling shaky in my STA-1 RN. Losing HP too quick. Too many quick mistakes result in ~1000hp losses...

I'm running the standard rammer/vstab/optics, nothing weird, and definitely wouldnt run optics if I had a better crew. I'd love to try some dif setups though, tank would benefit a lot from turbo.

Kpz is really good but I like the insane damage output better as I can manage that without any armour to work with - Kpz likely is the better tank, just not for me @lavawing

I can't hear you your stats are too low. 

is this website a blog because all i see are posts by me

I mean if I was interested in playing WoT as a first-timer in 2020, you bet I'd be buying an account second-hand instead of grinding from scratch. Why spend time and money getting tanks you would actually want to play, versus just money? It'll be slow as hell making progress without meta t8 premiums, and WG doesn't exactly sell those for cheap. Why not pay a small premium and get some decent crews and t10s on top?

Bot to grind the modules and then actually play the tank once it's elited. No pain of playing stock, and all you have to do is ruin the game for everyone else.

Could be a reroll from another region too that couldnt be assed playing from tier 1 again so bought a bot account

As if someone whose IGN is King_Tiger_Kiler can say anything about other people's taste in names.......

its patreon but specifically for people in the business of making boys cum

@orzel286 so you can simp on the non virtual equivalent of vtubers

>non virtual equivalent of vtubers

>non virtual

Ewwww, that's gross

Sometimes the ground just kills you for no reason. I don't know why.

Ive never had the ground kill me, but Ive jumped off and watched EBRs jump off places with no damage that any other tank would lose several hundred health from, which I think is bullshit

sometimes EBRs hit small depressions in the ground and the physics engine smites them by flipping them over.

Thats my current loadout (with rammer). Still quite slow to turn, but it's not unbearable anymore.

101 was fun long long ago, but they killed my boy

But I have said it already

Baby Bobject is great. It’s so stupidly OP when top tier (which happened a lot before I stopped playing on SEA). Only HE can stop you. 

S1 absolutely for platoons @SchnitzelTruck. I don't think I've ever launched in it solo and yea it's pure bitch mode. You get wins in it by having friends and knowing all the bitch spots. Turbo is for going backwards faster!

I have both SU and Skorp(i got skorp g not while ago with coupon for 20% off). My take on it is; they are very similar and yet so different. Both are fun, and there is something in SU 530 alpha and its invisi hacks(with good crew), and there is something in Skorps 360° turret and its mobility. Skorp is tall, and that is good for some situations and bad for situations when you get hit in forehead and you cant hit back cause its gun is lower than its forehead, and SU; is low and can hide anywhere, but it cant shoot over some rocks and that is anyoing cause you need to overexpose to return fire. Skorp can be more aggresive cause of turret, but Su is perfect for ambush cause of camo and alpha. Skorp has better pen, but SU has bigger gun and can overmatch more. If i would need to choose only one, i would go for Su cause of more alpha and camo, that thing is monster when its not spotted.

Probably had more to do with their release periods but Skorp G is still my 2nd highest damage tier 8 behind the Caern, so I always had a soft spot for it as it is just so easy to play. Not the same with the SU, but it might be that T8 hit another wave of powercreep between them less than the difference between the tanks

S1 cuz siege is so quick makes it fairly easy to do well, go to a losing flank and it’s pretty much 3k If you have a bush to use every time but it’s so boring to play losing gameplay all the time

There is a checkbox under the filter to see the camo/styles on other tanks. 

thank you so much <3

De nada. I had always wondered that. Just started setting up my CS-52 LIS and was wondering what cool looks I could apply besides the Fox style.

if you're a good person you can't help but be a team player, even if in hindsight it wasn't the best call to make...

when you play on SEA and the most articulate appeals for action you will ever get are 'dog MT go spot',  'useless Viet LT' and '☐☐☐☐☐', that tends not to be a problem 

What, like "Go spot" type of stuff? Sometimes i just completely change sides of the map when someone tries to play my tank.

yeah, its miserable as hell, i alrdy now im gonna regret buying 2-3 new tier 10 tanks when discount comes...

(perhaps i should get a shitbarn and just yolo around...)

It's p miserable but it's the tier the Leo 1 is on so i can't leave

Yes I'm aware the PTA exists but it lacks the extra bits that make me enjoy the Leo 1

What, you don't like getting by arty 3 times in the first 30 seconds?

enjoy your 5 minutes of gameplay

to live is to suffer

I think the worst spawns are for slow artillery on the exposed side of the tracks on Ensk, who get spotted before they can rotate enough to significantly relocate. 

Every iteration of Swamp was awesome IMO, I really liked every version of it outside the one where south couldn’t be played from one side. All the others were pretty good gameplay

Agreed. Except for the most lopsided iteration of Swamp, it was always a good example of map design based on a kind of rotational symmetry rather than the reflection symmetry of straight corridor maps. There was a lot of playable area depending on your vehicle. I loved that map. 

I feel like there's a bad caricature of Swamp buried inside Empire's Border, in a way. 

stalingrad was so good. The piles of rubble and destructible cover made for some pretty headass plays

To be fair, pretty much everything tiers 4-7 is M44 food.

yea its really sad, you even see platoons with one that make the game absolute stomps with no chance to retaliation, its crazy.

used blueprints a lot on low tiers just so save myself from playing slow tanks in that hell

Deus it is even worse than the Leafblower, it is mobile too.

I mean if you want the ability to see everything from the moon then why the hell not lol?

I run CVS/iOptics/iRammer, for those pesky LT vs LT duels, and for the ability to spank heavies and TDs late game with flanks. 

@sr360 Thanks, I'll check it out.

you can't, but tragicloss did mention i could file a ticket

Yeah, that's what I was just told too

oh rip f the crisp bills in your wallet must languish there for eternity

Destructive firepower. Honestly fairly reliable armour against tier 8 and below. Very mobile. 

Absolutely fun. I play mine like a gimped medium half the time due to its mobility and its highly effective armour against same-and-lower tier tanks. Gun can be a bit derpy at times but is overall excellent. Has low profile and great camo so can bush-kemp when required. I know you ground through the tech-tree not that long ago, it is so much better than the tech-tree tier 8 it's not even funny.

I play it as an assault TD, i.e. badly.

My .50 cents:

• Gets mauled by the new fast heaviums (Obj thing, E75TS, Gatorade)
• Despite being a casemate TD gun isn't particularly impressive
• HEAT as gold exacerbates unreliability of the gun
• Scales a lot with how well you play vision games
• Overall fun but uncomfortable to play

Tbh I much prefer the JP II even after the mantlet nerfs - ymmv

Ask and you shall receive! this is the best gift code in WoT. All the prizes!

EMSIXTYCODE4REDDIT

spartan youre lovely and your gpu is still here, in my closet right under my tails

haha i'm glad its keeping your tails off the ground lol!

I think you're supposed to 340 HEAT through the turret front/mantlet; same for the hull. (rip if you have less than 250 pen).

M46 is pretty similar but the threshold drops to 220 and the lower part becomes weaker when using gun depression - not that you'd have time to aim in practice

My recollection of the M48’s turret is that it gets penned by tier 9-10 HEAT basically everywhere all the time. M46 gets smacked in it’s big forehead by premium shell wielding tier 8s...

It can get penned, but its just a roll of the dice. 330 HEAT looks like this:

M48 turret armor is just crazy unreliable on either side. There's no way to reliably pen it in any tank unless it decides to park for you. You just have to throw gold at it and pull the 50% chance to pen slot machine.

Empires Border: Massive advantage to south spawn, quicker climb up the hill in south means they catch north spawn heavies halfway up.

Mines: North team gets up hill first

Minsk: South spawn has a platform that allows them to shoot enemy tanks contesting the middle undetected and with a height advantage.

Mountain Pass: LOL

Pearl River: North spawn seems to have timing advantage for both middle and north areas

Redshire: South spawn gets to farm enemy heavy cross + easily punish their LTs 

Studzianzki: Win the middle ditch or lose

mountain pass seems win-wise balanced imo, unless u loose to many crossing, once they cross, the balcony side has it much easier clearing this side. If i loose, its because the team fails to push into enemy base succesfull.

On mines its more tanks / spawn place of your fast tanks / courage as map side, i loose hill equal much on both side (and if arty pre aims mid, instead of relocating fast) (also south can loose its arty at start, north almost never does)

I agree entirely.

Literally cant get over what this event is doing. I've never been one to complain about shit like "weekend teams", but this is actually 3/4s of the matches I've played in the last two days.

I had at least 3 of those last night and wondered when this became a thing?  Tier 9's with a 200 WN8 and 44% winrate bitching about teams is a thing too.
