You can also hold down your right mouse button to keep your hull AND your gun from moving when you rotate the camera. This works for turreted vehicles as well.

Which server are you guys all on? I'm on the NA one, so it would be nice to platoon up if possible...

Most of us are on the NA server. Our MUP clan is also on the NA server.

Noooooot really. The problem with going up tiers is the fact that, costs versus reward aside, the distribution between good players and truly AWFUL players becomes really disparate among teams. Frankly there are a LOT of bad high tier players out there, and the MM usually has the bad sense of humor of putting them in your team.

6 matches away from true 53%. And I did all the important dailies last night (meaning my Tier 8s especially the AMX 13 90), so we can do tier 5s again this afternoon. Besides, it's the last day of the premium round sale, and I REALLY need the money...

I actually agree. I basically only play tiers 7-10 nowadays, except for the low tiers to get the higher level vehicles. Higher tier play is quite challenging actually.. And incredibly frustrating at times. All you can do is play and learn.

Armor angling, weak spots, staying arty-safe, map flex, etc. are all so much more important than in earlier tiers. It's shocking how much of a difference a good platoon vs. randoms is at those higher levels. The performance gap between poor-average-great players is so huge.

^ This, pretty much.

It's all random, so your chances of being given a bad or good team are even.

I'd like to think that it's there's a 50:50 chance of getting a team with bad players, but in my experience depending on the hours, the ratio of bad players to good ones gets AWFULLY skewed. Last night for example I pretty much went through eight straight teams whose win averages barely went over 45% while I was using my AMX 13 90. Platooning seems to be the only way to keep out those types of players and help with your chances at eking out a win at times, and it has to be a 3-man platoon at that.

Individually, we are average.

TOGETHER... WE ARE MORE AVERAGE!!

No, really, watch the first one.

The near ragequit before MyssaLeo platoon saved me aside, it proved to be a very productive weekend. I now have a stock of 1000+ HEAT ammo for M4 and 1000+ APCR for the Super Pershing.

My stats as of now:

Blatant stat-padding with the almighty derp platoon included.

And the day's finest, and last match:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

"That E8 is badass."

Erlenberg -- the snow and castle map -- Assault, Defense. Lonely Easy Eight fighting the entire eastern front alone even as the whole team went and died in the west, bullying 3 tiers 4 and brawling the Matilda BP (tier 5), sped across the south hunting down all three enemy artillery, swung north and took down a full health StuG from afar, narrowly survived retaliatory barrage from a KV-1S and a Matilda, dueled the Matilda before KV can reinforce it (arty took down the Matilda right after), taunted the KV to catch up, ran across the map again, and returned to scout out the KV for arty to get in one last shot at cap before our victory timer ended.

Fast mediums are so much fun.

I'll just plug my own link again, just because.

I suppose Crucial Contribution is difficult enough to get that we still received it despite Touma dying after tanking a ridiculous amount of damage.

And it was a very good platoon session overall; enough so that ES and I decided to back away after we had won ten games in a row, with the overall session going into the high sixties.

Dang, UTE. You've got to invite me some time on those tiers 6 medium platoons. I have no one to play E8 with.

Endless Soul · 2013-05-05, 23:22

Had a pretty productive day, but the platoon decided to call it quits after we realized we had 10 wins in a row. X2s were done, event money was earned on my BT-2, T-34, my new SU-85, and IS-3, Crucial Contribution badge earned. Very nice.

However I did have one IS-3 game where I fired 12 shots, 11 hit, but only 2 hit for 0 damage. That was pretty frustrating. Damn you RNG!

Can I taunt you with mine?

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-05-05, 23:43

I'm close to having Sixth Sense on the E8 and M4, on top of the BiA that both crews already have. SS adds a small feeling of non-panic when driving.

I have crews that could have both SS and BiA, but I didn't bother with BiA there yet, mostly because I wanted to max out other skill bonuses first.
