Yeah, one day @How_Terrible messaged me that he no longer received meat.  Proud he finally grew out of that phase.
 

Swiggity swooty, I came for that carrier booty.

Avoid norwegian fjords?

I'm not.

I don't despise it but I think it's waaaaaaaaaaaay overrated.

Don't bother with mods marine, vanilla is actually pretty good.  pro-tip for IJN DD's, press P and turn your AA off.....

The NA clan community is pretty sparse.  There are plenty of "clans" that have been around for awhile and boast a large member count, but I've played enough of these online MMOs to know that most pre-launch clans (and I'd argue that all clans are still in a pre-launch stage, in the absence of any real clan competitions) never live up to their forum reputations once the actual games begin.  There's been some community-based tournaments held, but I don't think we'll see the birth of truly organized, skilled clans until WG-sponsored events take place.

I forget who I was playing against, someone streaming on Twitch.  With no delay.  Dumbass

Brb shaming you in our shaming thread for not shaming in the right shaming place made for shaming 

The German tier 8/9 arty both suffer from a lack of field of fire.  Meaning you have to actually move your entire tank to re-aim, and the aimtime is damn slow.  Learn where on the maps main engagements are taking place and pre-aim.  And don't try to hit fast moving targets.  By the time you aim in on them, they're already making you move again to aim.

This is what ISIS wants. You Euros/Americans hate more and start to oppress muslims so ISIS can draft more man to their cause.
I am writing this from a country that has lost 400 people to both Kurdish seperatists and ISIS fanatics in 8 months.

Well, I didnt want this to turn into a goldammo discussion thread, but I guess it is my fault. So let me explain my position.  Gold ammo was once avaible only for gold,  this means tanks were balanced around their standard ammo. When  gold ammo was avaible for credits,  it became widespread, but the tanks are still balanced around standard ammo. This means tanks like the Maus, E-100  etc are  having there  strong points taken away from them.  People also think you should be able to pen everything,  IMO this is the wrong approach.  Tanks have there weaknesses and strenghts, skilled players maximize these strenghts and minimize the weaknesses. However, with gold ammo, some tanks only weakness can be surpassed, making the tank totaly OP with gold ammo, or some tanks strenghts can just be ignored. You should play a tank like it was intended to be, skilled players find a way to make it work. Yeah, you can only pen an E-75 in the cupola frontally, but the sides are huge and weak, it is slow and cant chase you, use this to your advantage. and btw, yesterday I was shooting at an O-HO and for some reason penned him everytime from the front at 300 meters range, I was shooting the tracks straight on. I was surprised by that though
So this is a challlenge for me , setting certain goals and really learning the tank in and out. I learn alot, I learn a different playstyle, I learn map reading in a different way. The situations you describe with heavily armored tanks I just dont have. 
Ofcourse, like some of you said , why limit yourself. Gold ammo is not a standard, it is a luxury, just like  food , bia etc is.  But it is in the game , and aslong as it is there, you are free to use it and should take advantage of it. But I hope you understand it is not really good for the game in general. 
Anyway, this has been way too long, I started this to prove you CAN do it without gold, to show that there is a way, actions speak louder than words!
I use the better handling gun, the 219 pen gun is really bad in gun handling, and the way I play this, I need the gun handling, not the pen. As for 219 vs 201, I dont think it makes much of a difference, you will hit less, and if you aim well with 201 you can pen most tanks, against T-54 ofcourse you have to track them, get there side, get them in an akward situation and use your team.

I'm going to adapt this to report any yolo player who shitposts on a web forum.

Lets put aside, if they deserve it or not just for a moment. Dont you see how many issues this idea have? 
What if someone modify/recreate your script, and set it up to report the lights, because those are the work of the devil. What if someone change it to report everyone above 2k WN8 because they must be cheaters and so on. What if this modified script makes its way into a modpack,or in a hax pack. This is a slippery slope.
Just because you can do something, doesnt mean you should.
I dont know if you didnt think about it, or it is just your evil plan to make WG dissable/rework the current report system completly.
 

Sorry Solono if its in the wrong section.
 
Hi, its diatomix.
 
You angry at the world?
 
Got Dynamic game-played?
 
 
I've got something for you! But I need help!
 
You guys remember when I made a mod that made you top tank about 95% of the time? Then WG served me and used their big funding to shut it down? ( Then they patched out per tier graphic... assholes )

 
I've done it again. I've made a mod that scans your pre game 'Tab' Screen and any players playing any arty will be auto reported for random occurrences (see anything from unsportsmanlike conduct, to harassment)
 
Problem is that when it screenshots then compares to a master sheet sometimes the French arty gets confused with French mediums and reports them accordingly.
 
Any tips to fix this?
 
Thanks.

This explains so much

Planes chasing DD is a completely valid strategy as you are trying to light it for the rest of your team to shoot at; but more importantly (often unappreciated) planes can spot torp launches instantly and torps never "de-light."  This lets your teammates dodge mid-long range torpedoes with ease. It is only when you are trying to attacking them that I find it to be a wasted effort in most cases. 

Hitting at 20k is iffy at best.  I run the 20k and the accel now.  still get 15k worth whcih is nice for maps like Ocean or carrier hunting.  

Minions, the best feeder clan Relic has had for years

Please cry more about your free stuff.

I managed 61%, 30k dmg, and 2.53 k/d ratio in Mutsuki.  The play is different because you basically try stay hidden all game, capping while spamming torps and hoping they'll hit dumb BB captains.  I only use my guns when I'm completely safe, to finish off low HP targets, or when I've completely flanked a BB.
Contrast that to the Umikaze, where I have 75%, 29k dmg, and 10.67 k/d ratio.
Minekaze I have 55% and 37k dmg, with 2.27 k/d.
Hatsuharu, so far I'm at 56%, 27k dmg, with 2.83 k/d.
Wakatake I was 85%, with 25k dmg, and 1.75 k/d.
In contrast, in the Tier 4 Izyaslav I have 63% and 43k dmg with 2,17 k/d.
Really looking forward to the Fubuki.

Should have looked my schedule better, I actually am 4 hours early...
