I've found that people actually forget that they even have consumables at times. Seriously. The players who've got red scores are more likely to act like idiots and watch themselves burn of course.

During the time we platooned this afternoon, Seraphil finally broke the 53% win rate mark, and 12ice was 3% away from completing BiA for his Indienpanzer crew (currently grinding in the T-25). As for myself, I'm 17 games away from true 53%, so maybe I can catch a few folks tomorrow for tier 5 platooning again.

Oh, and interesting thing happened tonight while I was using the Indienpanzer. Some goof in a Priest threatened to report me... for shooting him down. What.

Got the T-34-1 and the T-34-85, the stock T-34-85 is awful (80% crew doesn't help either) The stock T-34-1 is solid, but I can't wait to equip the best gun (need the tracks and turret first).

Anyway had a decent game on my IS-3.

Some idiot in a Bat Chat (or Jagdtiger, I forgot) supposedly reported me for hacking because my AMX-50B bounced 2 of his shots

I get spotted and killed way too easily in my S-51, since it has a horrible base camouflage value (in exchange for looking really cool). I'm just ignoring it for now and treating it like a trophy vehicle for eliting the KV-2. I'll return to it when I feel like it.

(I hit it again a few minutes later, it hadn't been hit by anything else in the meantime, but that time it just exploded the rest of the way.)

But seriously... fire extinguishers?

Few things are as frustrating as seeing one of my teammates get set on fire while they just do nothing. The mod pack that I usually use comes with this huge "vehicle on fire" warning on the middle of the screen when I get set on fire, which has thankfully saved me a lot.

I'm using this which looks like this:

...sorry ES, but I don't take screenshots of myself when I'm on fire.

Gold Hacker Lion:







Long story short: Noob T29 tries to take my head on, gets destroyed by the claws of the Lion. Then, he goes on to say I'm spamming premium rounds. I mean, what idiot can't penetrate the hull of a T29 when having 234 mm penetration?

Oh boy, wait until you hit the T-43, which has the SAME 85mm that the T-34/85 has, but is a tier higher and as such undergunned for its tier. Makes for an interesting study of aiming carefully and choosing your targets, that's for sure!

And you wonder why I came into the Medium line via KV-13 rather than the T-34.

Puttering along with my tier 8s. As of this writing, I'm closest to the Lorraine 40t, with about 40k-odd experience to go to unlock, followed by the T-54, which I need 70k to unlock. Furthest right now is the Indienpanzer, of which I only have 40 games played in total so far, so the Leopard will definitely take a while.

People tell me that I'm going to have to readjust my play style with the Lorraine, as you can't really scout with it like with the Batchat that ends the autoloader line.

[Sumeragi]

50.47% win rate..... almost there.

[Kamijou_Touma]

lorr is the tank that leads to the AMX50B right? well if it is then yeah, its more like a heavy autoloader like the T57 H.

i'm currently slacking off in WoT now. so I think i might just lazy around rather than play.

The Lorraine 40 t leads to the BatChat 25 t.

Yep, the AMX 13 90 leads to the Lorraine 40t, which leads to the much smaller Batchat. The brief change in play style is forced by the fact that the Lorraine has a huge profile and lower top speed and acceleration than the tanks that come before (or after in the case of the Batchat).

Also much slower between each shot (takes longer to empty the clip) for the Lorraine..

Random Number Generator from hell, Hetzer edition:

Arctic Region: I survived a frontal assault from two KV-1S, an M4, and a Hellcat, in the usual southeast road funnel of death. There were at least four bounces, no damage, two definite from the KV-1Ses, possibly all four (lots of tracers). Was killed when that side was flanked anyway. Bonus: I bounced a HEAT round off the flat side of the M4.

Widepark: Team won handily, but while trying to kill the final tank, a Matilda, I had the aiming circle fully closed, aimed at the turret/hull junction, target was 90 degress to me... my HEAT round burrows into the dirt and double tracks the Matilda for no damage.
