Well done fren o7

definitely laugh

Laugh in a way, but know that most of those frustration are mainly due to those players having an unrealistic view of their own performance and thinking they are good while in fact they are average at best, together with many of them actually hoping for WG to heavily start rigging the game to ensure no streaks and the like happen. As in many cases, average and bad players are even too bad to simply identify and realize the actual problems the game has...

TL:DR the bombing is deserved, but the reason to do so for many is far removed from the actual issues of the game.

Most of the regulars on the NA forums could blow their brains out with a tissue. You're better off having intelligent conversation with a potted plant.

Yeah, I still visit to help people who post threads about wanting to get better at the game and trying to give them tips/linking them to streams that can help them.

But it's common to see brain dead people a hell of a lot on there.

You haven't seen what usually happens on RU forums and that's good for you.

Don't grind your credits in tanks super unis like

light tanks

Yeah, I only bought the Leo post-buff after having it unlocked forever and it quickly became my favorite tier 10 tank. The gun is orgasmic.

I find the gun unreliable as I mentioned in a recent rant lol. I don't know some games it just consistently misses everything. 

Understandable the rng can fuck with you quite a lot but the gun for me is 10/10 I cant complain. The speed, gun, and camo make this tank probably my favorite tier 10 to play in pubs and clan wars.

That is the new meta from the north base.

not if it's slow though

You're probably just playing it wrong. Try spawning on the southeast side.

That's exactly how I found it playing my IS-2 (Russian or Chinese). Just snap shot left and right which is shockingly effective and makes about as much sense as a monkey having sex with a door knob. It's completely fucking bonkers that it works as well as it does.

Russian accuracy = The bigger the circle the more accurate the shot.  

Drink more wodka comrade, and this makes stronk sense.

And then there's the just as horrifying revelation - you'll have to play the 110 even more after you unlock the next gun.

Stock 110: Slow IS-3 with bad pen and gun handling

Upgraded 110: Slow IS-3 with bad alpha

#Buffthe110

Just finished this horrific grind in under 50 matches...thank you  48% Christmas bonus and xp bonus

All my t8 battles yesterday were bottom tier.

I feel like the 113 is kinda forgotten with the 5A being there tbh

probably the 5A, but I highly recommend both. 113 is still a great tank

I'd get the 5A, I really enjoy it. 

The 110 is pretty much vastly inferior to the IS-3 in every way. 

the 110 is.... meh. It does its job alright, but it was the most boring tank I've ever played. 

Just expect the 110 turret to get penned everywhere. The armor also has strange weak areas.

Did you get any thing else besides gold like premium time or consumables or credits?

sure. 2 million plus 2x t4 tanks and 9d prem

Gold is so much cheaper on EU that the boxes don’t seem like as great of a deal as they are on NA.

I don't play tanks anymore.

So, officially everyone but @DirtyACE7 that buys boxes gets a Type 59. So, your odds are 100% since your name is not @DirtyACE7.

Fuck me! I was watching a streamer who bought ONLY 5 boxes and got a Type 59. What the fuck is happening? Where's my Type 59 FFS?!?!

Here's what I do in pretty much all my tanks, it's very effective from what I've experienced.

Green squares are areas where I stop for shots, I usually stop at the first square to get shots on the 0 line and to make sure TDs arent sitting at the second square. Don't push to the second square until your team begins pushing the tanks they sent to the 0 line, or you'll get shot as you try to play the ridgeline. Once you can safely play the second square, it's relatively safe as long as you have support from like D5.

As the game progresses you'll need to push. Depending on how many tanks they still have, I either push around the 9 line or just clean up by pushing south through the second square.

Some things to watch out for is when your side almost inevitably loses the castle/city, they'll eventually have shots on you if they push towards your base. If your team loses the 0 line you can't play the middle safely, but thankfully that doesn't seem to happen that often (on NA.)

I just go north. Go to like C7, wait for our meds to clear the north, push accross to the ramp. Though i play mainly fast heavies.

I literally snipe then push to hill underside or reposition for sniping. Swamp is immensely camp oriented and its just not worth being aggressive on it.

Not WN8 wise but I know there is a gap but I just dont know how I can make the leap.

From personal observation, “purples” pay attention to the whole map and think ahead with quicker decisiveness. This is done while maintaining mechanics and local awareness on a consistently high level. 

It kind of reminds me of good chess advice. Imagine the perfect position of your pieces and construct a plan to get them there while also thwarting your opponents goals. Winning is all about positioning and creating imbalances in your favor. 

Conversely, “blue” players tunnel vision and fail to play consistently. They may choose positions that are strong, but in a different context (e.g. only when you have enough support to prevent getting YOLO’d).

I have recent purple WN8, but I definitely don't feel like I'm a "unicum" simply because I make so many mistakes. One of the things that has helped me the most, is always being mentally active, don't be lazy. Try your best every game, not just the games that are going well for you. Increase your survival ratio. The more games you live to the end in, the more games you impact. One of the biggest things, is pulling more information from your minimap. Once when watching CrabEatOff play, I told him that I felt like he plays the game on the minimap more than on the actual screen! He's extremely good at looking ahead, and always doing the best possible thing possible all the time. Start asking yourself, aloud even. "Am I doing the best thing possible right now? If not, what is the best thing I can be doing right now?" Pay attention to your map and your teammates, and use that information to make correct choices. If you make a choice, and it doesn't turn out well, analyze why, what you should've done, and what you will do next time to prevent the mistake from reoccurring.

Its got 33% on the move and 5% firing. But its not like it sits in a bush firing away. You fire, get lit, go back to cover!

I've had my crew killed twice before the tank while playing one, it's nuts.

Yeah playing a cw match the enemy started shooting HE knocked out all but my driver.
