    Turns out the "b" in bLNES doesn't stand for bounty, it stands for BLESSED AS FUCK. Even if Prokhorovka North spawn is easy mode. If I'm being honest tbh bLNES vs regular would have made zero difference in this match lmao Also, it really helps when your 1 line team actually pushes - I'll be honest, I could've cracked 10k if I had realized, because I got almost none of the spotting on that T95 Anyways yeah that's probably my best scouting game I've ever had.
  2. PlanetaryGenocide
    thank god i already have the arty missions completed for 260 lmao
  3. PlanetaryGenocide
    just remove arty from the game lmao
  4. PlanetaryGenocide
    Only by 10% for all the relevant missions (stun, damage, criticals) as far as i could see - might be fine for the stun time ones, but going from 8 to 7 critical hits required (especially when the only ammo worth using doesn't cause critical hits on non-penetrations anymore) is basically pissing in our faces.
  5. PlanetaryGenocide
    Definitely this! Although I'm actually having the opposite problem sometimes - I'm too passive and give up on easy damage that I otherwise could farm (in both the LTTB and the T49). Of course sometimes when I do shoot I get it wrong and get instantly removed from the game, so... balancing act. I almost want to run xvm just to use ratings as a gauge of what kind of crew skills and equipment enemy light tanks are likely to have, because it's a pain in the ass to play like everyone's running CVS builds, and it sucks to get absolutely potatoed by someone who is built in a way you didn't

    And I, in turn, am currently grinding up the T49 on a (free-to-play, currently) recruit account so I can play the non-sneak style. Might be a bit before I can fully equip it, unfortunately, and it'll take some getting used to the lower VR and camo I'd imagine. I'll probably just buy xmas lootboxes when the time comes for that account since that's probably about when I'd finish the trashdog grind, and I'm grinding up free xp on the T-50-2 to convert so I can skip the heretic gun The main thing I need to get used to again with the full stealth style is when it's safe to take shots. I've

    I wouldn't say it's been completely neutered, but it certainly makes it harder to swing a stalled flank in your favor if all you've got is frontal shots. I've really been enjoying the Full Stealth + 152 build for negating that though, makes it much easier to get unconventional flanks on people and aim down completely. As noted by my status, I got the bLNES this morning so I'm now this asshole: Intuition is great and I've actually found decent utility in Sound Detection - my main problem with it is that if you're outside the blast zone when the shot is fired, it won't go off if y

      I'm hoping to acquire a second one for the LTTB/54 ltwt (depending on which one i have by the time I complete stage 100) for... basically the same reason?

      Attempting to 3mark the LTTB first though.

      LTTB is way more annoying to mark than the t54 because it flips and slides for no reason

      yeah it does require a lot of traction management and driving skill... though hopefully WG is supposedly fixing some of the super slidey rocks and shit in the next patch so assuming they don't completely break the game again for the 114th patch in a row it should get better

    I'll get the scouting done without resorting to heresy! Idk I just really like the ninja T49 build a lot. It's sneaky enough, has hilarious view range and camo breaking, I'm currently running Designated Target + the directive for an extra +4 seconds, and I almost always have time to aim my shots. But given that I've managed to bring the T49 mark up a full 10% (83.5-93.5) since I switched the equipment to this, I'm starting to think that maybe I can do the same in the Ltwt as you have... so I might give that a shot instead of fucking around in the LTTB still e: checki
  11. PlanetaryGenocide
    The LTTB does pretty well with this too, though I still put CVS in the vision slot instead of the LNES even before the advent of bLNES. and I still maintain that the T49 can scout just as well as the rest of the T9 LT's with this build
  12. PlanetaryGenocide
    Surprisingly enough it kind of actually is, but only because the average pre-patch arty main is, as Panzer says, a brain-dead vegetable. Judging by the amount of no-arty battles I've been getting lately as @GehakteMolen mentioned, most arty mains can't handle it. I actually see stupid bullshit pens more often in games with arty and stun is just as annoying as it's always been - because almost every player left playing arty is actually a thinking human being and not a drooling imbecile who has to hunt and peck WASD every time they want to relocate. Idk how many of you play high tier arty
  13. PlanetaryGenocide
    God, I didn't even think of that. Stun rounds do actually have the capability, but you have to pen with them so that's only realistic on paper tds and light tank butts or whatever. I got the 260 missions naturally over the course of grinding out the 261 and 53/55, so I didn't really have to worry about it overmuch.
  14. PlanetaryGenocide
    You're not bad at arty, your arty RNG is just bad I believe it is yeah, your conclusions line up with what I've been experiencing. Glad I've got all the arty missions done through 260...
  15. PlanetaryGenocide
    The problem I've found with the "high damage" rounds is that their splash is about half of a stun round - sure, no stun means there's no fear of firing them into an active brawl because nothing will happen to your team, but you better be dead on target or else the round is almost as worthless as a near-miss AP round. High damage rounds give me giggles for hitting rears and engine decks (or light tanks) though, and I'm still at a 100% success rate for AP shotguns with the exception of one "Screen not penetrated" on an STB-1 from about 100m with autoaim, which isn't quite "shotgun" territor
  16. PlanetaryGenocide
    Oh, I don't have the audio dulling until the stun actually applies, or at least I've never noticed it. Weird.
  17. PlanetaryGenocide
    Now that the patch has been out for a bit, I feel like there'll be some actual opinions on this question. So for those of us who are dirty clickers for whatever reason and hate themselves enough to still be playing arty in the current patch - Do you use the non-stunning rounds ever? What situations and why? How many do you carry? In both the M53/55 and 261, I carry 1 AP round for emergency shotgunning at the end of either losing or winning games - it's a free 500-600 damage (and potential meme kill) in either situation as long as you're good at aiming in third person and are minimap awar
  18. PlanetaryGenocide
    That "hollow" sound is actually the sound you get when you're stunned - it means the round has already landed lmao. However, here's a tip - you can actually hear arty firing from anywhere on the map. Might need to have LoS to them? not sure. But I was playing on Kharkov today and noticed that if I looked towards where enemy arty was, I could hear a low booming sound every time a tracer showed up and started arcing towards us, even if it didn't trigger Sound Detection for me. It's really tough to pick out when you're paying attention to a dozen other things at once, but if you're just bush
  19. PlanetaryGenocide
    yeah it's definitely a much better choice on loaders these days. The only problem is that for crews with two loaders you do have to train it on both to 100% to get the full effect
  20. PlanetaryGenocide
    Yeah it really only applies to my T49 for now because that Commander is on the sixth skill lmfao. I deemed it worth dropping Recon for because i've been getting blindshot by arty more often Does help avoid CB but I usually moved after shots even before the new tracers so...
  21. PlanetaryGenocide
    what the hell are you talking about? Intuition is now a 100% proc as long as you're fully reloaded my dude
  22. PlanetaryGenocide
    T49 swaps in 3.5 I actually already had Intuition on both my M53/55 and the T49 due to ... having no other skills for the loader to train. That if nothing else makes the skill worth it once you're done with Bia/Safe/Camo or Repairs because what else is there? FF, sure but then... Adrenaline Rush? Lmao Anyways, I loved Intuition before and I absolutely adore it now - It lets me not have to flex my precognitive skills nearly as hard for what ammo type to have loaded in the T49. It's useless on arty though because the other shell types are meh. As for Sound Det

    Turns out the T49 is a pretty good scout

      @CraBeatOffI was going to say North Spawn wasn't as good as South Spawn for me, but... well, apparently at 4 AM local all bets are off because I just honored LT15.4 by the skin of my thick meaty gun

       UsNLfK2.png

      Best part is that according to my in-battle counters i was... less than 100 combined short of the mission, but my guess is that either the Guard got a blind shot in on the T28 proto or arty got a blind shot on the Cent near the beginning, either of which would've been my blind spotting.

      Here's the replay http://wotreplays.eu/site/5937610#fisherman_s_bay-clorox_connoisseur-t49 - quite literally the only time I had to use my brain was when deciding to move to the other stalled line and start spotting for our 1 line campers

      I'm vacationing lazily so I can't watch. I have thoughts about Fishbay S. Been doing some exploration. There's a game on my wotreplays page in the AMX 105 from that map that is worth watching. @sr360 might even have a link handy.

      hmm, I'll make sure to check it out.  I still just do the bog standard mid bush because i haven't found anything else super effective yet that doesn't get me instantly counter-spotted by other people playing mid... CVS in the vision slot does wonders at removing the bush cover for enemies, so i can spot almost anything opposite me without getting spotted back 99% of the time

  24. PlanetaryGenocide
    http://wotreplays.eu/site/5934346#fisherman_s_bay-clorox_connoisseur-t49 I think this is my first ace in the tank since I started playing again, and of course it was a draw... On the other hand, LT-15.4. In the derp T49. Completely with assist damage, of course, but 4 frags isn't bad even if I deliberately didn't do sick pens so that we could potentially win, which we didn't. I think my primary mistake was not cleaning up the arty the first chance I got - I knew the Lorr was in our base killing our arty and the JT wasn't going to peek with 211 hp left, so I should've known it
  25. PlanetaryGenocide
    Yeah, that's the DA... I didn't really see the need for vertstab as I don't fire on the move a lot unless I'm close enough for it to not matter, and I enjoy the increased speed from the turbo. Might give it a shot (ha!) sometime in the future
