I managed an Ace Tanker in the Chi-Nu Kai on my fifth game with it. I thought I'd played more games than that, but I suppose I never did..

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I took some risks, since I drove back to reset an enemy cap from a Ke-Ho (sacrificing my team's only other surviving vehicle, a Valentine, which attacked their base alone against a Hellcat, Grille, and Marder 38t), while I had 7% health remaining.

I should have died. The other team split up to find me, meaning that I was able to handle each of them individually while they couldn't cover each other (and the Grille missed). The Chi-Nu Kai's horrible gun depression nearly got me killed fighting the Hellcat.

Also noticed (rather late) that the St. Patrick's Day event is still going, so I have a small chance to get the Chi-To's crew to 100% on their first skill while the x3 crew bonus is still in effect. Or at the very least get them close enough that I can do the skill swap for Sixth Sense and Safe Stowage while it's still on sale but the crew isn't a huge distance from 100%.

Edit: Got that crew trained up in time.

Why it cut short?

and I almost reinstalled WoT, lack of disc space from so many HD anime prevented me though...

I suppose it's because the rest of the replay wasn't that interesting. He said that the enemy just gave up on trying to kill him and won by capping.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh. Somehow I ended up at 64% for my session and managed to complete the 15000 XP for Advancing Up The Line, but mixed into tonight's games were some amazing examples of lemming rushes up the wrong side of the map.

I didn't have much to do with that, I was in either the leFH or Grille for those games. The one time the team came to its senses in time was a Highway game where my east-spawning team started to rush the city but actually came back to the base when I started pinging angrily about the scouts that were rushing across the field.

It's not his fault they lost, it's clearly that scrub 45%er he got stuck platooning with. You can only carry so much as a tier 4 in a tier 8 game you know.

It's his fault if he accept to platoon with such a bad player, it's his fault that he chose to platoon a tier 8 in a tier 4 non-scout light tank.

and he's a new player or reroll, he having 50.54% winrate with 186 battles now.

It appears the extremely obvious sarcasm in my post has been missed.

Nah, sarcasm is overrated anyway. What would you rather do: call out someone for being bad at every opportunity or have basic reading comprehension skill? Given the context of the game, you sure don't need me to tell you which.

From looking at the Upcoming Missions tab:

This weekend there's a Japanese focus. Maybe I'll be able to get the Chi-Ri on sale.

Next Monday there's a short-duration mission involving 5 games each in each vehicle class, for the reward of 3 days of premium.

Edit: Actual WG page.

Bought Chi-Ri. Crew transfer is not on sale, so I won't be using it for a little while. Leaning toward rammer (since it's one of the few rammer-capable autoloaders), gun-laying drive, and... binoculars? Do the rest of you lean toward static shooting? Because flanking in a tank the size and speed of a Tiger II, with the armor of a Panzer III, at Tier 7, seems dubious.

Actually I'm not entirely sure about the EGLD either, but the inter-shell reload is listed as 1 second, with a base aim time of 1.7 seconds, which is not bad for an autoloader. However, I don't know how bad the bloom is between shots.

But if I don't put the EGLD on, the third option is a mystery, since the clip reload is short enough that vents won't be an enormous change.

Tempester · 2014-03-21, 11:18

My freaking god. What the hell is this tank doing in the game. Hopefully this is just an extremely lucky streak I've been getting, or else I fear I might have sold my soul to the devil when buying this monstrosity.

Keep the GLD. You want to get those 3 shots off as fast as possible, especially when shooting distant targets. Your aim time is slower than your intra-drum reload after all, so you must compensate for that.

Pen3 · 2014-03-21, 12:27

I had the worst luck on my waffle pziv with about 20% win. I know it is a team game, but damn the teams I get. I ended up selling it on frustration.

So did you choose vision devices?

I didn't play the Chi-Ri. I despised the Chi-To and the Chi-Ri looked like more of the same except worse. I used a rammer, GLD and optics on the Chi-To though. It's my generic medium setup when vertstab isn't available. I generally don't use binocs on tanks that aren't the T49, ELC AMX, or Hellcat. Maybe the crappy Japanese tanks can benefit from using them, I dunno.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-03-21, 17:09

I've been running the rammer, GLD, and optics on a lot of things also.

The mid-tier Japanese tanks have been a strange drive.

Strigon 13 · 2014-03-21, 17:50

Pubs are always a PITA on weekends. Won 11 and lost 25 just this afternoon, maybe I'll try a little more later, specially since I need only 5k xp left to unlock the IS-8's final gun.

Also, I'm very interested to try the jap line since I've heard that their tanks have insane RoF.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-03-21, 21:19

The 9.0 public test is now available.

And just a bit of Sherman. These camo patterns aren't quite as garish now.
