I bought some optics during the sale and will try them on the Japanese tanks, since my feeling is that they're going to be super reliant on having the best soft stats. If results are good I will probably consider using them on other vehicles.

Yeah I get that, but the focus seems to be mainly on end tiers where your view range is more or less 400m where 10% increase is a huge deal. In mid tiers you do come across tanks with prohibitively low view ranges specialized in other things. I still think(like you said earlier) one should assess each tank differently instead of taking what tier-10-only unicums said out of context and blindly apply it to all tanks (including arty...) like a lot of people.
Honestly don't see the necessity for that, but to each its own. |

Anything with 350 view range (generally tier 5 meds and TDs) or more benefit from optics. Below that, like on heavies, which usually go up close and personal anyway, its use is limited.
I mount optics on both the Sherman and the Pz4 for example, and I get a lot of mileage, even when they're equipped with the derp. ESPECIALLY if they're equipped with the derp, because if I hit them before they spot me, well, that's a whole lot of damage done quickly.

EDIT: Psychological use of vents: I like to use cheap vents (the ones not for heavies that you can just toss) on my new tanks with bad crew so that I don't start off with 75%. It gives me a less plebeian feel. |

Snipe when you can, but it seems to work best as a mid-range fighter. It doesn't have the armor OR the mobility to prosper in a brawl against heavies or other mediums.
I have more than a few replays on the Chi-nu Kai. Hold on... Just a few of the better games I've had on it...

I accidentally got into a tier10 battle on the Chi-Ri and ended somewhat good... I had a 704 charge me and i somehow killed him before game ended. I am at 81k exp right now and drawing close to the STA-1 for tomorrow.

My PzSflV made it to six consecutive games without taking any damage (then it got blown up in a game that managed to combine inconvenient lag spikes with a team that lemminged off in one direction, leaving me to cover an entire main approach).
The part that actually bothers me about this statistic is that the PzSflV only avoids damage by being too slow, unstealthy, and vulnerable to be operated close to the front. The last time I saw a PzSflV get too close to the front line, I one-shot it with my SU-152. Anyway, So my only remaining active tank grind is the SU-152 to ISU-152, then it'll just be a matter of working up the XP for the very large final cannons on all these tier 8 TDs. And waiting for the ennui to set in. Last edited by Gravitas Free Zone; 2013-12-28 at 02:24. |

I remember how hard playing tier 1 solo can be as I played 18 games on the slow, unweildy Renault Otsu (good final gun though).
There's far too many matches where carryhard just isn't going to be enough. On the plus side, I earned Ace Mastery on a lost Campinovka battle where I did 600 damage, facilitated 300+ more, and earned Patrol Duty + some other medal through a slow plod from bush to bush on the scout ridge while abusing my net/binocs. Average xp on the tank is around 400 after this session. Ridiculous. |

Got everything updated and... can't get in. The ping count on East seems to be hovering at THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY, something I've never seen before. The client seems to then get stuck on "synchronizing personal file". Hmm. Lets see if a proxy changes things.
