World of Tanks - SerB loves you - Games

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;39734883]Try Russian and American trees first, British and Chinese if you like a challenge, French if you're hardcore and German if your a masochist.[/QUOTE] I did not know the painful path I embarked upon when starting this game. PzKpfw III/IV before the buffs to the 75mm guns is a terrible first tier 5 when your impression of that tier consisted of KV tanks before the KV-1 and 2 were split. Also, why'd the old thread die? Does FP autolock all active threads at regular intervals? Edit: Nevermind.

Problem is, all the stats are not recorded, leaving noticeable gaps in the calculation. Primarily this affects lights in regards to damage upon detection. The other major issue (I believe) is that the formula can be greatly influenced by platooning and other stats padding (mainly win ratio) measures. If you take two equally skilled players, one platooning, and the other not, these calculations will give the one who platoons the better number, simply because they win more games.

While it's true that all of these formulas can be padded, you have to remember that it's only a small minority that does it. The formula works for the vast majority of players.

But winrate only accounts for about 5% of the WN score. (Around 50-75 points.) Platoons also help by slightly increasing damage and kills per game by letting you survive more and longer, but it's easy to overestimate the effect that having just one or two more good players on your team will have.

Guys can we CW sometime, Tier 8 CW is up and it sounds like fun

Any slick EU goons wanna platoon? 3k away from IS3 on another note, whats the new post limit?

[QUOTE=Shogoll;39735374]Guys can we CW sometime, Tier 8 CW is up and it sounds like fun[/QUOTE] Sounds like tier 8 arty destroying everything

[QUOTE=laserguided;39734838]How hard is it for somebody who has never played World Of Tanks before to get into the game? I'm kind of interested but I'm worried that I'd have to spend money to actually be able to play against other players, since the game has been out for nearly 2 years.[/QUOTE] We all have to start from somewhere. It won't be that hard since the majority of players are retards.

Orkel we need a proper thread title.

Wold o Tonk?

Steppes if the fucking worst map (for teams) ever lemming train all the way to their base and get capped every time

There is always a new tank tree being produced so people will always start grinding from tier 1 again.

[QUOTE=acidcj;39735391]Sounds like tier 8 arty destroying everything[/QUOTE] Yeah... I'd rather not play against teams full of IS-3s with their falseboard sides and BatChat 155s with their bullshit autoloader.

thread titles are dumb

Apparently tier 6 clan wars was bad enough. The strategy (the only viable one) was tier 6 artillery, a few T-50-2's and the remainder VK2801's.

TC didn't happen yesterday, did it? Does that mean it'll be today?

Calling the tier 8 British light tank now. Vickers Design No. 45569 T Essentially it is a smaller centurion (in its design) 24 tons 20 pounder gun 0.59kg/cm^2 ground pressure 530 horsepower engine (22hp/t) Torsion bar suspension.

World of Tanks: Germans killed SerB's ancestors

Also, for the new thread, a little info on recent events leading up to the glorious reign of darkcybrid. 1. drama. someone slept through cw, someone lost cw, everyone's buttholes twisted up in anger and rage. 2. goon skips away to the pouting corner, where he promotes the active half of the clan to field commander and distributes the chumpchange vault between them (12 gold fucking whoop). 3. everyone scoops the sand out of their vaginas and goon calms down and passes the crown on to darkcybrid. 4. we all play synergy because gman is a sexy beast.

[QUOTE=Orkel;39736254]title, y/n[/QUOTE] I'd have said "SerB hates everyone equally" but this one is fine :v: Also you should add those 2 old threads to the OP [URL=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1217875]V15[/URL] [URL=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1237442]V16[/URL] [editline]27th February 2013[/editline] 17 threads of pure anger at Internet tanks.
