Crusader Kings II is free on Steam right now for anyone that enjoys grand strategy games.  Enjoy!

Story of my night so far.  Even got a bombardier out of this one, which was maybe the only bright spot.

Defeat Sacred Valley Škoda T 50 Experience received:3,666    Credits earned 55,613    Battle achievements Top Gun, Radley-Walters's Medal, Lehväslaiho's Medal, Mastery Badge: "I Class".....and thus my night of tanking kicks off with a bang   These teams....

Replay

So tilted after this.  E25 flips my over in my UDES about 2 minutes into battle and team kills me.  I'm done for the night after 2 battles.  Time to go play some Witcher 3.

Can someone talk me out of trading in my T34 for the M4A1 Rev?  The little bit of gold aside, I can't stand the T34 and the Rev actually looks (gasp) fun!

Initial thoughts on the "new" 13-90: 4 shot clip is fantastic, liking the change to apcr as standard, overall not much to complain about

New patch tomorrow.  Here is the YT vid from WG if you haven't seen it.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas WoTLabs!  Checked the time machine today: 230 overall WN8 increase since Jan. 8th, not bad.

Almost purple recent!  Huge thanks to everyone who has submitted articles, or reviewed my scrublord replays for tips!  Much learning has been done, much more to go.

Best conversation I had all night:

up_yourss (8:10:30 PM) better nlucky than good rite shitter, your a cheater bullshit one shot me and two teammates in that shitter taqnk the gayotear destroyer from a crappy angle its a cunch of crapi will be looking for you shitter

onlytoughonline (8:18:17 PM) wow, you seem angry about a game

up_yourss (8:20:47 PM) your shit ank doesnt cause 750 damage its to shitty of a tank for that wvwn with t-10 gun doesnt do those kind of damahes . turn off you aimbot play like a man you whore bag,.

onlytoughonline (8:24:12 PM) you got me, definitely aimbot

A bit of context:

Game on Fiery Salient.  Me in my Charioteer, him in is T28 Prot.  He got lit and took fire from half my team, I only put in the killing blow.  Team melted around me after that and I killed 3 of the last 4 before I got capped out.  Little fella was a bit salty I guess.

First Radley Walters in the Patton, best game I've had in it so far.

Another rigged mission.  Sadly this is from a MAHOU player.  E100 rigs a damage blocked mission and doesn't even try to hide it.

This replay tells me all I need to know about some of the "players" you run into sometimes.  Dude collaborates with a guy on the other team to shoot his turret for over 14k blocked damage!  So damn frustrating!  Couldn't find the name and shame thread, or it would go in there for sure!

x5 weekends bring out the absolute worst of players.  It's almost not worth playing if i didn't need a bit more free xp for the M48 gun when I buy it.  I have seen "tactics" this weekend like "Let's all just sit at cap and defend, they'll never expect it" to a Leo1 running from a half-health Pershing because "He can pen me too easily"

M46 Patton is seks.  100 games, and 2684 WN8.  Pretty good for me!

Finally got my new PC up and running. Here are the specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k, 4.0 GHz, GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G, Memory: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4, Mobo: ASUS Z170-A, PSU: EVGA 850W 80+ Platinum (fully modular), Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD (adding in a 2 TB HDD soon).

Let me know what you think!  I was able to get 120 fps at maxed out setting across the board. (I know, not too impressive for WoT, but better than the 40 I was getting before!)

When you use a 2hr xp booster and then the servers go down for maintenance....

Completely donked a game in my E4 today when Guam's "High Speed" internet booted me off in the middle of a winnable 4v1 matchup. :(
