World of Tanks - SerB loves you - Games

Hum, is that true? From the 8.4 patch notes: [quote]Important! NVIDIA video card driver versions 310.70, 310.90, 314.07 may cause client crashes & FPS drop-downs. It is recommended to use driver version 306.97.[/quote]

the client crashes are mostly in the research screen, fps drop I don't know anything about. [editline]28th February 2013[/editline] actually i've only had a crash in the actual game once.

I'd like to participate in tonight's TC but I won't be able to play from 7 to like 8:30 PST.

We're going to be doing the TC's from 9-10EST, starting them sometime during them and continuing them for a little while.

[QUOTE=Orkel;39742204] VK2801 nerfs: Fair.[/QUOTE] Yes actually, for standardizing it into an actual tier.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;39742220]tl;dr just sell all of your german tanks now and go russian or american[/QUOTE] they can take my VK, but they can't take MY TIIIGEEEEEEEEEER

This fucking match and this team. Was rolling in my glorius 38t shooting up the whole enemy team and eventually getting 9 kills. At that point it was me and a a-20 against a pz3 and a luchs, there was just one problem though. I was outta ammo. The a-20 died very quickly leaving me with no chance at all to get a win, Luch was back at our base capping the base. Out of ammo and severly damaged I did what there was to be done. Rammed the shit outta him and got defender. [t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2013-02-28_00001.jpg[/t] It hurts knowing that there is literally nothing you can do to save a team like that.

Alright trying again to start a tank company, get on Mumble in the [B]next 15 minutes.[/B] It will be fun, come

I wonder what World of Tanks would be if it was historically accurate and balanced out a tank's raw power by enemy numbers instead. It'd sure be nice to see Tigers with short 88s and all; but I imagine it'd just turn into a single Tiger (H) royally fucking up a wave of M4s.

[B]TANK COMPANY IN 15 OR SO MINUTES.[/B]

[QUOTE=Ogopogo;39742253]Yes actually, for standardizing it into an actual tier.[/QUOTE] They didn't standardize it, they beat it to a pulp with the nerf stick, up tiered it, and probably made it useless. They gimped it's terrain performance and reduced it's max speed.

HNNG first game in churchill. DING DING DING DING. Fuckin' music to my ears. Only 2 kills though.

I need someone to explain to me how a Hellcat survived a 152mm HE shell to the side that was [I]not[/I] in his tracks. I could only see the upper side and the turret, yet it only did 300 fucking damage.

Hah, good game, Facepunch. 25CDN here, I was calling that. You guys played well.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39742899]They didn't standardize it, they beat it to a pulp with the nerf stick, up tiered it, and probably made it useless.[/QUOTE] Gee, they up tiered a tank that matchmaker views as a tier 6 already, with tougher matchmaker and better performance than the tier 6 lights. Gee, the horror. Given that is now has tier 6 light tank matchmaker, its performance needed to be standardized. It is no worse than the AMX 12t, T21 and the 59-16. It should and will happen to the chaffee and the T-50-2. [QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39742899] They gimped it's terrain performance and reduced it's max speed.[/QUOTE] Oh, you mean improved? Because soft ground resistance was improved from 2.1 to 1.9. Poor translation of the patch notes.

[QUOTE=Error_404;39743581]Hah, good game, Facepunch. 25CDN here, I was calling that. You guys played well.[/QUOTE] So glad you guys didn't put in the usual kv1s spam we've been facing.

[QUOTE=Wiseman400;39743671]So glad you guys didn't put in the usual kv1s spam we've been facing.[/QUOTE] Well, we were down one player, so I decided 'fuck it, fuck arty, who's got fast tanks?'. We usually end up doing at least one wolfpack fast group near the end of our TC, so most of the clan has at least a cromwell or hellcat in their garage. Now, if only it wasn't a defense map...

[QUOTE=Wiseman400;39743747]Yeah we've been getting tons of encounter and assault maps as well for some reason.

In unrelated news, should I keep hording my free EXP to unlock the 90mm on the T29, or is it able to actually do anything with the 76mm?

Otherwise, you better hope you are top tier all the time.

Thanks for coming to the tank companies everyone. Got off to a bit of a slow, painful start (assault and encounter everywhere) but things got a little better as the night went on. 8-1-3

152mm KV-2 best sniper all years.

Need some help here... I'm looking for a gaming headset with about a $100 budget. Completely stumped on where to look. From my experience, Sennheiser ftw, but I'm not sure if they'r that great in the gaming department. Figured I'd ask here since a gaming headset is a necessity.

I always seem to spend 90% of my earnings on repairs, no matter how many tanks I kill. I killed atleast three tanks during a match with my Pershing, and out of the 20,000 credits I got... 19,500 went to repairing my damn tank.

My parents bought me one of the higher end Sennheiser headsets (I never asked for it, okay :v:) and it's honestly not that amazing compared to their low end headphones you could have for around 1/3 of the price. If you're not one of those crazy ass audiophiles you could grab a pair of HD-201s or 202s which are horribly comfortable, cheap and rather good sounding for 30$ headphones.

[QUOTE=Squad1993;39744565]I guess I'll do that then. I already have HD 280 Pros, which are like putting your head into a fluffy cloud. Thanks for the input.[/QUOTE] It's the best solution. I'd thought about buying another Creative gamen headset, but this $13 Audio Technica desktop mic works just as well, and since you already have decent headphones you save a lot of money.
