The T21 was not the worst thing I've ground through... it just was a little big and slow for its expected task.

This game... couldn't get the replay to upload, but I'll say this: It was not an example of finesse tanking. It was not an example of good strategy. It was an example of driving straight into danger like a loyal conscript soldier... and RNG blessing me with all its noodley goodness.

The worst thing I ground was the Chaffee. I wish I didn't, as I am just bad with scouts.

If there is an option in the future to trade tanks for XP, the Chaffee would be the first to go.

If the chaffee linked to the higher light tank line (instead of the arty line????) then it wouldn't be so bad, but as it is its a real waste of 55k xp.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-02-19, 14:20

I'm keeping the Chaffee for the time in, say, 2015 when there might finally be another American light/medium line that's not the autoloader line. But operating it is a pain. It would be nice if the Chaffee had its repair costs lowered, like the other old top-tier scouts did when the tech trees were rearranged.

Tempester · 2014-02-19, 15:20

I'm waiting for the inevitable nerf that'll come with the extended American scout line before I dare touch the Chaffee. I don't want another heartbreak like with the T-50(-2).

There are days when the game simply decides you are not allowed to win:

Cutting my losses and calling it quits here for today...

Actually, had a good session last night, despite how almost every game I had usually started with me having to reconnect, or stalling for at least a minute. Good thing my platoonmates were understanding of my situation, and whats more, comms made it easier for me to coordinate with them -- if only to listen to what they were talking about.

Oh, and why didn't ANYONE tell me that, with the new maps, any audio mods were pretty much null and void? Had to pretty much copy the entire default audio folder to the 8.11 folder to prevent the game from kicking me out or crashing.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-02-20, 00:54

I've always copied res\audio into res_mods, since the first time I loaded the GuP mods that step was mentioned in the instructions.

Connection oddities: Even my almost-always-good connection to NA East has had a higher-than-average level of weirdness lately. Can't imagine connecting from halfway around the planet.

I've been practicing being good in chat. I haven't turned it off yet, but since people can now presume that you're not using chat if you ignore them, I've tried very much in the past three days to not go off on expletive-fueled rants when I discover that the only other tanks alive on my team are bots and idlers... in which case they wouldn't hear me ranting anyway, but I had to get that off my chest. Nah, I'm just trying as much as possible to blot out the usual inanity.

Today I havent finished a damn mission in a stupid SEA..It`s called 'Lucky Streak 888' because of stupid lemmings and idiots . The reward was 500k credits and I cannot even win a match T_T

Pretty much one of the reasons I have slowed down recently.

The updates had been released in quick succession. Each time with bad players running amok. Going to wait until it cools down.

China soldiers too tall and fat for older tanks…

I've been playing only a few games every day. I did nothing but camping and ended up winning about 80% of my games. Made-up stats are unpresentable, but WR is soaring. Confirming the WG tradition of "win rate is all luck"

McDonald's, screwing with the PFT requirements since 1953.

(It would be absolutely hilarious for a WoT nation's food consumable to be a burger and fries.)

I still don't understand why the Soviet consumable isn't Vodka.

No luck, just my elite carrying skills. Remember that 15-1 game we had yesterday? Man, that one guy who actually died was so sad. Oh, wait...

We might make this work. You do the carrying, I get the wins. Eventually your WN8 will be purple, so will my WR. Except your WR will still be green and my WN8 will never leave the yellow range.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-02-20, 13:46

I'm still largely ignoring Tier 8 for improving my replacent crews' skill levels and, well, various horrors in the Japanese and Chinese lines. The interesting observation in this is that the T49 is raking in the High Caliber badges, as I suppose it should.

Well, my current winrate is already blue and recent is purple but if yesterday's solo winrate trend continues I can probably get it to green or even yellow in no time. Yeah, this can work.
