It's truly sad that with bad enough dicerolls one can go from getting 10,000 XP per hour to 1,000 XP per 30 minutes. [editline]1st October 2012[/editline] I get more XP than 90% of my team in all my [del]matches[/del] wins and yet I still find this level of progress the definition of SLOW.

Pushing arty off cliff has become my favorite past time

I saw that happen once. It was hilarious. The arty stayed the whole match just bitching at the guy who did it.

you have to admit arty players are very good with profanity

That's because all the space in their tiny tiny little heads is reserved for profanity, retardation and self entitlement.

Hey Pocket Medic - 8200 transfers to SEA. Also, the specials might be crap but gold is cheaper over there!

You'd think wargaming would find a ridiculous reason to mark-up gold for Aus players "because they can afford it" sorta like steam did gg wargaming

Oh hey this E8 thing isn't so bad after all. [quote]Victory!

I hope it's too hard...

Maybe the end of the barrel was plugged?

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;37882256]Maybe the end of the barrel was plugged?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I've seen a similar thing happen to a shotgun barrel when it was obstructed with a tiny beehive.

I would expect it to just blow the plug out our break a hole in the plug, chances are it's far weaker than the 1.5" thick steel on the barrel. Also the only time I would expect a barrel to be 'plugged' is when the tank is ready for a ceremony, march or inspection and even then you're not using steel simply a plastic insert with your yeomanry's insignia.

Also the T-34/85 reportedly was prone to this problem due to the long barrel dipping into the ground in rough terrain.

I'm so tempted to switch over to SEA but I don't want to be on server with players speaking bazillion of other languages :(

Rodkin commented: "the tank could have dug the ground with it in the smallest ditch. If you fired it after that, the barrel would open up at the end like the petals of a flower."[/quote] It doesn't really take all that much to plug up a barrel.

My very first match on the live server using M7. Glad I bought this tank now. [quote]Victory!

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;37882332]Yeah, I've seen a similar thing happen to a shotgun barrel when it was obstructed with a tiny beehive.[/QUOTE] I seen a hunting rifle do something similar whilst it still had a bore sight (Spelling) in the end still.

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;37882447]Oops, it's already been mentioned. exact excerpt, anyway: It doesn't really take all that much to plug up a barrel.[/QUOTE] Considering how easy it seems to plug the barrel compared to what I thought I'm surprised we have never been warned about it before. If that happened in a CR2 the operator would get the shock of his life, the breech can be set to automatically open itself about a second after a shot has been fired because it uses charge bags instead of traditional 1part ammo so this along with laploading is considered safe and increases the loading speed. Most operators have it set like this :V [QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;37882532]I seen a hunting rifle do something similar whilst it still had a bore sight (Spelling) in the end still.[/QUOTE] They tested something like that on Mythbusters, they couldn't get a rifle to do it but they did manage to get an old shotgun to split the barrel apart if I remember correctly.

So despite the whining regarding the Pz4 changes, it's win ratio has actually been rising ever so slightly. Looks like the changes might have improved it in the end.

[QUOTE=Mbbird;37878433]Don't go past the M18. Hell, don't even buy the T25/2, the fun stops at the M18.[/QUOTE] T25/2 isn't that bad, especially since the 90mm ammo isn't as expensive as 105mm one which is used by T29 and T25 AT. What saddens me though is that I've heard T30 was nerfed quite badly.

I dislike the T25/2 for some reason

I love this detailed report thing, even if it is kind of depressing to see that nobody on my team broke 400xp. Some guy in a Tiger 2 got 88xp, yay. Why do these guys always end up on my team, no wonder I get so many losses :( All the guys in the tier 9 tanks didn't even break 200xp, what the fuck!

Welp, we were in a match earlier and I saw a WG press release account, so I did the right thing by ramming it and allchating "Noot Noot Motherfucker" in my T-50-2.

[QUOTE=Orkel;37883957]enemy or teammate? :v:[/QUOTE] Enemy, made it all the more satisfying to flank and weave through his entire team to reach him though.
