It's the only thing that has made the last 2 weeks of tanking go by. Plus, it felt appropriate, seeing as how my garage is almost completely filled with British tanks (Cruiser II, Valentine, Churchill I, Churchill VII, UC 2-pounder).

Out of 20 battles last night I got into a very bad lose streak: 12 loses in a row.

Actually it was amazing if my teams didn't lose half of the teammates in the first 2 minutes.

Also, got the top gun in the GW Panther, and I must say that it worth the trouble.

Kamijou_Touma · 2013-07-10, 07:15

Here is wat i do in my brit tanks when i play em. put in auto drive play some gup music. take a quik nap. by the time u wake up ur there

You'd be surprised to see quite a bit of green or blue players at tier II, however lower tier battles are usually where XVM starts to break down, as it can give VERY inaccurate predictions, as usually having two "green" players on your team will usually skew the predict chances into the purple range (60%+). The thing is, in starter battles more often than not it also depends on your team not making as much mistakes as the other guy which... doesn't happen.

Kamijou_Touma · 2013-07-10, 07:49

Wen i go troll at t 1s it doesnt matter about color cuz u can die in 5 secs. i find it based off of luck than skill at starter tiers.

RWBladewing · 2013-07-10, 08:09

Wonder what XVM would have said about me at Tier 1. Through sheer luck of the draw I had 100% win rate for the first 10-15 games

(Though that then changed pretty quickly - look at my win rate with the Leichttraktor if you want to laugh really hard).

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-07-10, 09:13

I actually found a guy using stock guns on the AFK Panther. Managed to get a couple of kills in a Tier 10 game, somehow.

Mow Yun · 2013-07-10, 09:29

Banzai? He's a reroll from the EU server, that's partially why his winrate is so high. He only plays platooned, too. Don't think I've ever seen him solo.

Doesn't mean he's not a very good player, he is.

You know for the LONGEST time, "capfast" is what Sahin does every single time. I think he still does it at times. That's why I often play faster tanks so that I can reset.

That is one of the reasons why I demand my tanks, be that heavy or medium, to have a minimum speed of 50.

This is one of the biggest reasons why I chose the IS-7 probably as my one and only heavy. MBTs for the rest.

^ This. So much this. It's not that I hate heavies, it's just that oftentimes I have nobody on my side who's fast AND willing to go back to reset.

FCM is my favorite for resetting. I can ram one and reset one. Feels so good.

So you gave up on the E-75?

Tak · 2013-07-10, 10:59

The interesting thing is, mediums seem rather unappealing compared to heavies initially.

Once they hit tier 9 though, you can feel the transition from one generation to another.

Once they hit tier 10? MBTs just outclass everything else.

I still have a glimmer of hope for the E-75's possible introduction of a tier 10 alternative to the E-100. It is my only Tier IX tank at this moment.

And the only reason I even play the E-75 is because I think its sexy.

U know wat else is... the t62a.

Achiuakuna · 2013-07-10, 11:08

I love mediums regardless, and that makes me a play-for-fun player.

Once arty was nerfed, this game is basically World of Heavies & TDs. No longer can I pin down the enemy for arties to knock off huge chunk of HP. So to make a real impact in battle, you must have a high pen high damage gun. People can be so reckless because of their newly gained freedom and flanking isn't as pressuring as before without arty. At least to me, a lot of strategies were lost in this game and it's just now a big fat heavy/TD shootout because they can just ignore cover with no consequences. Not to mention the armor buffs.

I still enjoy mediums, but it's just not practical/consistent enough if you're a stat-whore. But I'm not going to stop having fun. So I'm going to care even less about stats than I did before.

This pretty much marked my start as an official playing-for-fun player, because tanks I loved are now very irrelevant to winrate. To get really good stats, you need to play certain tanks over and over again. And to me that is not fun, especially when the tank isn't something I like.

Back to low tiers with Louise...

Kimidori · 2013-07-10, 11:28

I loved play my med more after there are less arty, much more freedom to move where I want, and use my troll turret to bounce shells in hull down without worries.

and I brawl with Heavy and TD all day erryday and destroy them without much works.

it because of I like fast tank too, can carry much harder than slow tank, if you see my sig here I olny play med and light.

Achiuakuna · 2013-07-10, 11:30

Solopub and paper mediums?

I can't pull that off.

Maybe T-44, but I despise tier 10.
