Epic

IS-7 in Fiery Salient. No arty, no He spammers, the best kind of opportunity to get HT-12:

It only took like 100 battles to get a decent map for the mission.....

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It totally counts

man, sitting in the port screen in WoWS and just watching my ship bob about while listening to the music is so calming for some reason

Everyone is hyped about Type59 while in reality that tank used to be OP back in 2011 when it was just released. It would probably still be OP if it wasn't for like billions of tanks that powercreeped the old tanks.

7.2mil to 17.69mil, thanks to selling my camos I never used and the emblems/inscriptions

Well, i've officially peaked, its all downhill from here bois!

 

New French Heavies "review":
Tier 8 is kind of trash, paper hull, the turret only works against lower tiers (and good luck meeting them with the current tier 8 matchmaking), trash gunhandeling (not T34 level of gunhandeling but still...), decent mobility (slightly better than IS-3)  and if you load gold your penetration goes from 218 AP to 325 APCR for some fucking reason.
 
Tier 9 is great, you actually get some decent armor.
The upper plate gets ~270/290/300mm EFA against and lower plate gets ~220/240/255 against AP/APCR/HEAT.
Small tumors are existant on the turret but can be hidding by using the gundepression.
Gun is decent (127mm is trash, use the 120mm)
Basically take a M103 and make it better in every single way (better gunhandeling, same DPM, stronger armor with smaller weakspots, better mobility, slightly more health)
Atleast the M103 doesn't get the shoulder plates I guess...
 
Tier 10 is disappointing tbh.
It is mostly a copy of the tier 9.
Basically take the tier 9, give it 7 mm more standard pen (even though it is the same gun), improve the gunhandeling and DPM slightly, increase the upper hull armor and give it it 300 more health. It also gets the same acceleration but worse traverse speed because lol engineupgrades (At this point I am 95% sure that the balancing department doesn't know that having access to engineupgrades actually affects the traversespeed of a tank...)
Not getting penned in the upper hull by 330 HEAT is nice but imo not really worth the price of giving up the tier 9 mm.
It gets access to an 130mm gun with 560 alpha though you have to give up the nice penetration values of the 120mm (250/280mm AP/AP for the 130 vs 264/325mm AP/APCR for the 120mm)
It is an option but have fun with those 50/50 dice rolls when shooting at the front of a Type 5 Heavy.
Overall though if you want to use the 120mm gun you are better of staying at tier 9.
 

I've been purple for a week and already want to be blue again holy shit

Given the nature of the WoTLabs/XVM/WN8 post on exposing-wot, I can only conclude it was adztownstrike who wrote that article

ya'll fuckers are E X P O S E D

"And we all know who that is. Wotlabs.
For years, they’ve done it. They would pick tanks they like to play, boost up the numbers on them, tell only their own little inner sanctum of buddies and act all high and mighty about their stats."
 
i'm dying here

Edit: the comment are just comedy gold. 

When the team wants to lose, and the M48 Patton is having none of that.

5 digit damage and >10 kills finally achieved, and in the same game

time to stop playing arty for a while, I three marked the m53/55, object 261, and conqueror GC today

LT-15 for the T-55 FUCK YEAH!!!!!  After probably 1.5 years I can move on to the Obj260

SUB BUTTON HYPE

Oh my god the WZ 111 5A is so much fun, drives and handles like a medium, 8.86s reload for me for 490 alpha and superb gun handling...

cw is dead, advances are boring with same maps and teams, strongholds are campfest with PW2 tanks, ranked are coinflips, MM is broken, 25% RNG is frustrating, lags are real, randoms are unplayable except for tier 10 and maybe 9, team battles are unbalanced, training rooms with humans vs. zombies are unfair for humans, proving grounds mode is too hard and lastly boosting breaks maps.
Did I remember everything?
I still play the game though and enjoy it usually, so suck it up or gtfo.

I've quit WOT for good, and getting rid of my acc. Deleting friends list as we speak, nothing personal. <3

aaaaaaand now the biggest English speaking WoT youtuber is quitting. GG WG you REALLY fucked up big time
