World of Tanks

Ah, so the name's STB-1...

4202 was more or less useless as it was, what with the leopard 1 having come out.

The Japanese line is one I have been waiting for since they put in french tanks and listed the nations to come. And once I get the Batchat, I'll bum-rush through the Japanese tanks to get to tier5+ (where I've always believed that the tanks become more skill oriented)

Anyone else with the Rising Sun on their agenda?

I've been playing the chi nu kai on and off to get a crew ready, just gonna free it to the chi ri when it comes out. I plan to finish the brit med line to the 7/1 though before I hop onto the japanese line.

How's the learning curve on this?

Really tempted to play this since I can't find anything entertaining anymore.
Getting kinda tired of D3 esp since there's no one to play with

Hearthstone starting to get quite grindy

Can't find anything that exciting on Steam (kinda waiting for Christmas sale again)

LoL is well...kinda bland since it been ages since I last played, along with not having to play with and to relearn playing again

Am playing Risk of Rain though :o

If you want to avoid grindy games then you may or may not be instantly disgusted with WoT. There's a learning curve in terms of game mechanics if you're willing to learn it but it really comes down to how willing are you to be self critical and improve your game.

Also, you should totally check out starbound and hammerfall, 2 cheap and awesome games that have been tiding me over the past few weeks without having my desktop to play wot.


On a side note, finished my comet grind today and holy hell my opinion of this tank has changed considerably since I first started playing it.



The standard ap rounds are absolutely fine for tier 7 and even 8 matches since this tank is all about positioning, and it does it well. Comet's 10 gun dep and seemingly reliable (and low profile) turret let you put that great dpm to work tearing through the sides of victims 300-400 meters away easily. I think that comet is very dependent on positioning however, which is probably why most people dislike it compared to the speedy cromwell, and yes this tank turns into a flying pile of shit the moment it doesn't get to fight on its own terms, but it's mobile enough to get out of trouble and outplay others 1v1 if need be. Here's hoping the cent 1 keeps this up but I never even see them around in pubs =/

I mean, grindy games doesn't bother me as long it's fun or there's plenty of people to play with (Aion was fun since I had several buddies to play with)

Starbound...I'm kinda gonna wait for it to be more polished. Not to mention, really reminds me of Terraria. So I'll wait a few months before making a purchase.

Weird thing for me that my gold and global exp is all not accessible today for some reason.

Also, whenever i play tier 9 and X i get like 85% of the time either a teamkiller or suicide runs from TDs..and i still need to miracously obtain my Jgdpz E100..

They recently unified free exp between wot and wowp accounts if that can amount to anything. What server do you play on? I haven't seen a TK on NA since I left tier 4

You're not on the same server as me at least... I see cent 1's every other game, and i get a TK about every 45th battle.

I disliked the Comet, only because it needs to played be similarly to the Panther, the difference is that the Panther at least had the short 88 to deal more damage (which was much needed...)

Well, I'm currently trying to grind through the Pz.slf.IVc, and I must tell you, it's quite the character. Needs to be played VERY specifically, or you're just gonna be a hindrance, or fodder, and more often than not, I find myself easily destroyed.

Yet, I can't bring myself to hate it. Hell, I enjoy the thing very much.

As for that mention on TKers, I ran into a couple within a couple dozen matches of each other. The first was of a group of tier 7s that shot up each other, and the last tier 7 TD drowned. After that, it was a rouge KV-1S that took out two of our guys. And this was on a tier 6 and 5 tank respectively.

Though the comet's dpm is unbeatable compared to the panther, and it can get itself into far more aggressive situations than the panther can.

oh i am playing on the EU servers, switching between EU1 and EU2 depending on the activity.
i get TK´lers almost every 20th game, kamikaze runners in about every 8-10th sadly.

Maybe it's out of place to say this, but from the wot ftr hall of shame posts and watching EU stream chats there seems to be a lot of racial animosity along with the usual idiots.

Thankfully I saw that shit only once, when a guy on our team started to insult and call a player on the enemy team names because he was Polish. =/

That said, it IS aggravating to see people chat in their own language and not in English (to the point of "Klingon" being a placeholder name for any foreign language).

Anyway, before taking a break I read in the forums that WG, in their pursue of historical accuracy *cue booing from the crowd* and after a trip to 'Murica, is considering the nerf of the T29/T30/T34 gun mantlet, from 279 to 203 (which APPARENTLY is the real thickness of said mantlet). They'd better not pull off that shit, or I'm going to rage. I'm too close to the T30 to see it nerfed.

Source.

As i like to say,

Welcome to german side.

Prepare to get shafted.

I for one, Do not give a fuck about historical accuracy, AS long as tanks are balanced.

I only have one thing to say to the nerf of the T29.

SUFFER!!!


Anyway, for historical accuracy, I'm on the fence about it. On one hand, it's what made the game it is today, and on the other, I've seen a few nerfs there that have annoyed me due to the whole historical accuracy thing. I mainly don't care because I haven't gone down the American line at all yet, and the T29s seem to be the bain of my existence.

To be fair, the T32 is to this day my best performing tank and I've kept it over the T29 so it's not that much an issue with me =P

Well, it seems I'm the only one who will probably rage at this, but if it happens, I'll probably just grind the whole line to the T110E4. If I want a US Tier 9 TD, there's alwasy the T95. :P

To be frank, the T29 is powerful enough as it is, bringing the frontal armor of the turret down a bit seems to be nothing more than a change in stats rather than something that can affect it's performance. The thing will still dominate in tier 7 matches with the fact that many tanks will still have a challenge penetrating the armor on that thing.

I also doubt they'll drop is down by such an extent in a single patch. They'll probably drop it in margins as they go through the patches.

Nah.

They nerf it big time, then fix it.

Its the WG way.

I decided to buy the kv3 finally on discount and got it with everything but the top engine...

I've made some poor life decisions.
