You're not going to get those big games without a platoonmate who's dedicated to supporting you. Rare is the occasion I get a solo 10k spotting game.

@sr360naah game is fucked. Just had a game on Pilsen where the hole enemy team consisting of 10 tds went city. 

Played with a good platoonmate went -2% on marks. I'm quitting.  Used to pull 2.2k spot solo now If I pull 1.9k platooned it's average.

I guess it works if you can keep them spotted for 10 min so pubbies can kill them with 1/10 pen ratio.

On the one hand, how did you get Prok multiple times, what hax are these? On the other hand, RIP...

Yeah I felt like I was going up on marks then 2 games with no spot. And I have outspoted both enemy lights... 

The, uh... Pawlack? Or whatever it's called?

I think I should almost have it researched already thanks to random blueprints from daily missions.

I'll give it a try after the CW campaign ends.

The ricochet angles + traverse speed make it a massive pain in the hole to shoot lol

@Ham_this is true. The hull is trollish. Especially on low tiers where the low accuracy + low shell speed means you often hit not where you aimed and bounced. 

Yeah

Also for "press accounts". I played on one a few years back at an event in London, when it also had a KV-4 TD at tier VII.

Yeah this was a CC. Looked up a Polish CC and it was him. The IS7/Cs63 push train.  Fun for the streams but the game was thrown beause of it and even my 7k dmg and late game tryharding couldn't carry it

Yeah my results with it are back to normal but xmas meta introduced waaaay too much yolo and weird play. I had 3 enemy t8 tanks yolo my ebola. I had teammates near me but they drove away to shoot at different tanks. T8 tanks are not a problem but not when they yolo your sides as you can't angle your front to both left and right. This happens with my scout games too

Events where freebies are given away always attract the worst of the worst.

The meta did shift though, turbo games are truly an issue now and they are particularly noticeable when using tanks with low DPM/slow reload

@WhatTheSkara yeah it's not even that it has low dpm because it doesn't. It just it doesn't have high enough DPM/ALpha to be getting as much damage as the tank relies on prolonged engagements. 

Do we have any video/forum post where he says that so we can shit on him on wot forum also?

He;s a WG employee who pretends to be a content creator. But basically his words = wg's words. 

@H4NI that swedish t9 stream from some time ago on World of Tanks EU YT channel. Some of it is without him so you have to scroll.

I have to say, he'd make a good wg employee,

So I got that right even without knowing him? Can't fool me wargaming, I know you too well!

Central limit theorem is the biggest rigger of all!!

well, unless im in prefect postion joe average has zero problems penetrating me it seems (same tier tanks that is) toss in ridiculous module dmg (got ammoracked twice put on fire A LOT, driver and commmander dieiing a lot, and for a heavy attack tank, its armour is imo dissapointing (i assumed a beta IS4 as minimum, but spoiler, its 100% not..)

@GehakteMolen it's still OP as balls since you just point your armor towards the enemy and you get 320 effective armor. Yeah it's made of ammoracks but it's still strongest armor + decent mobility for a superheavy + a good gun. \

It's just too many people expected it to work as good as type5 vs standard ammo. 

@GehakteMolen also now with that ammorack bonus module it doesn't blow up. 

Also I love pubbie loggic. One pubbie claims 279e is op because sometimes your team goes to positions where 279e is not the strongest. WEll that means chief is balanced since sometimes your team goes to a place where you can't play hulldown. 

@CraBeatOff @sr360 Full stealth works well. Thanks for the idea. 

You also ran out of them?

I think you can only do conversion for nationals.
Was planning to blueprint straight to the tier 10 Czech heavy, but ran out of universals before reaching the tier 9. 
Ended up using some free xp to unlock the rest for it, as the tier 8 looked kinda meh.

@CandyVanMan I have a ton of national ones. You can convert national ones into universal? Where? I have 220k free exp but I need 60k to unlock t9 and then get the t10 so I will be short without uni blueprints

@hazzgar I think you can only convert from national to national.
You can use Swedish blueprint fragments for unlocking Czech, at a cost, iirc.

That sounds like the NA server. 

Just had the whole team (ok 13/15) camp SPAWN not cap on Karelia ENCOUNTER. I tried to block one flank in a t95 but the strv that went with me got spotted over and over from 400m because he cant play. wtf

@GehakteMolen yeah I'm regretting putting bond turbo on it. Got penned by a type5 in the mantlet... It's too tall for the 5 deg of gundep. It feels wonky. 

@GehakteMolen seems like one of those tanks that gets results only on loses. 7.1k loss, 6k loss. When i win I win with 1.5-2.5k dmg because some bobject yolos me when arty tracks me...

@GehakteMolen though I have to say turbo + turbo directive sometimes works. On select maps but when it works it is really fun since the tank then has 22hp/t and 66kph max

Scratch that. There are TD's just not in tier10. A 7k borat game did it

@Jesse_the_Scout I think the HE mechanics changes mean thick unsloped armor tanks got buffed but sloped armor tanks got a nerf.

 I think the HE mechanics changes mean thick unsloped armor tanks got buffed but sloped armor tanks got a nerf.

Arty HE mechanics were not changed, FWIW (for damage+pen calculations, anyways).  Arty was nerfed in the sense that it requires more than a pulse and one brain cell to play these days.  My current theory is that it was nerfed enough that all the brain-dead arty mains stopped playing the game, so it feels like it wasn't nerfed because the only arty players left are the ones who are actually decent and know what they're doing in the game.

Besides, sloped armor didn't get nerfed against HE at all, IIRC - what did get nerfed is the calculation using the thinnest armor within the splash radius of that sloped armor (which is why you don't get 700+ splashes with 183mm HESH consistently anymore). 

Sloped armor has always been weaker to non-penetrating HE than thiccboi flat sides, but now that the damage roll is based directly on where you hit, slab armor is far superior because you can't splash engine decks or hull roofs to bypass it anymore.

@PlanetaryGenocide you are correct. I may also have been getting some bad rng. My days recently oscilate between 75% wr and 45% so it swings massively

@PlanetaryGenocide Zoom Turtl 

@echo9835 I was thinking Zoom Turtle not Chief 

zoom turtle is way more fun

Now now, wasn’t that bad or hard. I even managed a RW in it

@sr360 it's a good scout thanks to its camo but it's uber slow and the gun is dogshit so it's just unenjoyable to play. Especially on bad maps. 

Also your own vid title has "bad tanks" in it. 

But I'm probably tilted because I'm tring to mark 4 tanks at the same time and the 3 other ones are much more fun than a46

Ha, that's a quote from a friend of mine. The A-46 is definitely mediocre among T6 LTs, but it has some tools. Three equipment slots feels a little low for it, it could definitely use 5 or 6 though!

Just play a Kran

@sr360 I suk dik at Kran. I didn't use to but now I can't find openings to save chevrons on the loses and the gun trolls the shit out of me. IDK what's wrong but t10 guns don't work for me

@sr360 ok Kran Gun Doesn't work. Maybe it's Mouse settings or maybe something else but I am horrible at aiming. REALLY REALLY Horrible and it's most visible with the Kran. 

what chat thing with Honest Gaming? Enlight me plz

@hall0 oh man you missed a lot. I will not spoil this for you

OK, got banned on CIS forums for 14 days this time. Time to say goodbye to those amusingly silly people.
