Yeah I had some recent contact with a pubbie who slammed me for being noob on my new XVM camo account because I had 52% wr overal and he had 56% WR overal while playing 11k battles (out of 20k total) in t67 (67% wr in this), 4k in a type64 and 2k in a b2... 

That dude did 0 dmg but I'm a noob because I didn't listen to his late game advice of soloing a med I cannot clip 70% of the time in my elc even...

lol... yet

while there are tanks that have been in the files for a while not in the game.. this is WG.. maybe for a special event or some weird battle mode or something, hopefully... but I think we'll see this in some form or another.

It will be, years after the main harvest has ended, as a last resort from the finance department

Yeah they are spending time testing it but "it will not be in the game"... Unless it's for some special event mode it will be in the game

Funny thing is they would lose less money if 1.0 didn't block so many people from playing

Agreed, but don't you think it would be easier to balance/tweak between tiers at +/- 1? I mean, they've so far failed with +/- 2.... maybe on purpose.

The cynic in me sees their past rhetoric and their decisions.  It seems they really want to encourage people to get to tier 10 regardless of whether the player wants to play at 10. 

Well, I found this funny:

T10 is their "endgame" and a big money sink, of course they want you to get to T10 so you'll either buy prem tanks or prem time (or both).

exactly

I often do the route I saw hairlesmonkeyboy do many moons ago from north spawn and spotted lots of stuff going hill and east side rails so I went and stayed on the crest of the hill.  It took the team some time to get going but eventually they started shooting lit tanks.  The enemy put 10-12 tanks on the east side and a couple in F6 so the 1/2 line was barren and low risk to push anyway.  More often than not I just surf the ridge and exploit openings as you mentioned.

10K? Did that in my E25 once.

that's because the E25 is a LT incorrectly-categorized as a TD. I've pulled a 9k +(3k/6k or something like that) combined in it, but I absolutely despise anything below tier 8 so I don't play it very often.

One of the reasons my wife likes the game.

The problem is not money spent but time spent. 

On the opposite side you have people like me spending way too much on whatever games it is

WoT and Warframe in particular, need not to count the exact value but enough money to get my room fill with electronics.

That is what blacklist is for, see someone on my team in arty on my blacklist, load HE and it it's enough for one shot, bye bye, then quickly unblacklist them, send them a message that karma is bitch and then put them back of the blacklist. 

The other day I got frustrated that nobody was moving at all on Prok while I was working mid in my 5a against 3 arty.  Obviously as the only non camper, I was getting all of the clicker love.  At one point when I was getting dark one of our arty said 'spot 5a!' . . . I spotted his ass all right - with an HE pen, then for giggles I went ahead and killed our T-92 too, then took an hour off.  Worth it.  You're doing the lords work friend, keep the faith!

To be clear. I don't typically TK arty... as annoying as fuck as they are and a pure cancer to the game, they are still an asset on the team(ugh, did I just fucking type that?)...  it takes a particularly notable piece of shit to stick out in my memory enough to REMEMBER the match vividly enough to even say something about the XVM focus. When he confirmed my suspicions with something like "yeah I focused him in a match"  It was time to execute his POS ass.

I click on occasion for missions, I have a reasonable handle on what target priority and angles of shit-on-your-game doomlaser is capable of and what other targets are also viable. (I run modless with nametags turned off) I've focused people and flanks to support an overmatch or protect against an overmatch I understand when I get clicked because I made a risky, over exposing aggressive play. (Yeah, it is still frustrating in the moment though). What I have never done is focus someone due to name recognition, clan recognition or other stupid, non target priority related reason.  That shit is insanely frustrating.

Played it once, had a pretty enjoyable, dynamic game. But whether that's going to be true in the future as people learn the map and a meta develops I couldn't say.

I had honestly forgotten they put a new map in, or I would have gone in a training room right off. I didn't get it in the rotation until the very end of my session.

Basically I played the map just off of impressions I got on the minimap and during countdown. Still got one penetrating derpshot but that.. that's just not enough chodepunting.

SE for sneaky pushes, NW for corridoring, middle is for light dogfighting, the opening to the aircraft carrier in the middle can be used to fire down on the NW corridor like Mines/Abbey

won't let me correct my second B) to a C).... dunno why.

Why didn't you told him that your dad is Putin, and you will nuke the shit out of him if he won't shut his mouth up?

I'm not entirely convinced it was human.. I'm pretty sure there were several missing or added chromosomes....

Personally, playing 13 105 or BC is the pinnacle of learning to re-position. Usually I just wonder how in the hell am I reloaded already cos i spend my time driving to another spot and think of a plan to engage.

@SaintLaurentius, I'm currently building up my crew for the 13 105(already have it in garage), and Batchat  is my favorite tier 10 med. <3 it. I was originally planning on putting the iVstabs on the t49 to help me boost it up to 3rd mark but I might just put it on the batchat instead. My only gripe with the batchat is the same one with the t49, ambush an isolated opponent, calculate #shots to kill(ok 2 extra in magazine to kill, time to murderball)... pop in miss one bounce one and low roll ...  a lot like the T49, if you rush your shot or mistime your ambush you're screwed. 

Assassin autoloaders and derp49 honestly have a lot of similarities in playstyle.  The main difference is that derp dumps its load in one big meaty thrust but as a trade-off you have to pick your targets/aim your shots way better since you can't expect HE pens against most things that a batchat or a 13 105 can reasonably expect a pen on

Man, that sucks. I know the feeling, but luckily it is in my past. I hope at least you like your job somewhat.  

16 hours yesterday.

Thankfully I love my job.

More that you can only push yourself so long to get shit done, and I'm starting to burn out(gettingoldersucks).   Compared to the hours I put in my first job out of college I'm whining about nothing..
