[QUOTE=Null-11 Ordo;40089481]Try to go to the site through google. Its done that to me too.[/QUOTE] That works, thanks.

[QUOTE=dill6869;40088471]i once met this guy who argued vehemently that the fcm 50t had the same gun as the lowe[/QUOTE] Got out of a match where a dood in a 3601 tried to tell me that a King Tiger was the Tiger I, not the Tiger II. I ignored the chat until the end of the match and saw he and a T-34-85 were arguing about whether or not fascism was justifiable. This games community is fucking insane.

[QUOTE=Zingly;40089323]Well, I can get into the game without too much lag now, but everything else is still down. Wonder what's going on at Wargaming.[/QUOTE] Well my launcher just started working again and I managed to get into the game without unbearable lag. And all this happened randomly out of the blue. Also what is the preferred gun for the T-34? The top 76mm or the 57mm?

[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;40089663]Also what is the preferred gun for the T-34? The top 76mm or the 57mm?[/QUOTE] The 57 laser gun.

[QUOTE=Why485;40088525]World of Tanks has taught me that your team exists only to take shells for you. The better you can use them, the better you will do.[/QUOTE] True.

I know it's not news in the slightest, but I fucking hate how much artillery ruins this game. As soon as you have 3+ in a game, it's no longer World of Tanks, it's World of Artillery Meta. The entire game revolves around both sides trying to not getting hit by artillery, and spotting for your artillery while taking potshots at anything you can. They're too important, and completely disrupt what could be an interesting game about tactical movement, flanking, and cover. It's so fucking stupid and frustrating.

[t]http://i46.tinypic.com/2q3rry9.jpg[/t] You know, I use to only joke about the game being rigged. But I had 8 matches like this in a row. Eight. Eight where my team average, sans I and my mate was somewhere between 40-45%; and the enemy team was 48-55%. We got fucking obliterated every time. I'm about to buy a Hetzer or M4 and just spam gold rounds like every other faggot at tier IV/V.

I'm serious, people protect artillery's presence in the game like it's their damn religion. I also love it when they say "it stops camping" when it does quite the opposite because I've seen top tier tanks hide behind the rocks at the southern base in Redshire because of arty. It gets worse the higher in tier you get, Tier 8-10 matches become unplayable when there is more than 3 SPGs in it and tank destroyers become absolutely worthless.

I've played my WZ-132 for a few hours today, 70% of my battles ended with me getting top XP (usually 500 XP or slightly below, without premium) and my team failing horribly at basic tasks such as not getting murdered by Löwes when they're a Tier 10 tank. I do more damage than usual, cap more, defend more, spot more and yet my win rate is sitting at 48%. It honestly feels like the matchmaking is skewed to fuck me up. It's making me go absolutely nuts. I have fun for the first 6 minutes of the match, then I look at the scoreboard and realize my team's E-100s died fighting against a bunch of HAVOK IS-6s and that I'm alone on a flank with an AMX 13/90 on my side who is also probably about to rip his hair off.

The random matches in this game are most [I]defiantly[/I] rigged. [B]EDIT: [/B]Seriously the Jagdpanzer IV grind is when I really started to see the problems with this game, mainly due to the Type 59s that made grinding Tier V-VII matches unbearable because they were almost in every match you got put into because there was so many of them. It wasn't uncommon to see like two or more in a match on one team. And now the Type 59s are a rare sight since the implementation of the improved MM, their removal from the store, and nerfs.

I did get a good match today though [IMG]http://imgur.com/p5VENUL.jpg[/IMG] Once again, my team failed horribly at first but I had a few good players on my side (and an IS with a combination of balls and luck who dinged the E-75, [I]twice[/I]). We had to fend off against a T29, a T21 (ha), a T34, a SuperSlowshing and an E-75, all of which were at full health except for the T21 while all we had was a 10% health KV-5, a full health Ferdinand, a full health IS and myself in a 40% health WZ-132.

But then arty players will say "but I don't decide games, my WR on arty is only X while my WR on other tanks is higher than X". That is because arty decides games, but not through player skill; it decides games by RNG, which is by far the worst thing in WoT. If WG wants to really get into eSports, they're going to need to reduce or remove as much of the randomness as possible. That means no more +/- 25% pen and damage, no more bullshit camo, and no more fucking artillery (or at least change arty into something requiring skill rather than the current 40 second wait between dice rolls).

[QUOTE=goon165;40090402]meanwhile, british[/QUOTE] Can you explain to me why you're using 100 octane fuel in a tank that reaches its speed cap instantly because of a 810 HP engine while not packing a health kit as your loaders die every 0.5 seconds. That 5.86 seconds reload though... hnnnng all the DPM.

But I agree this game would be a lot better without the RNG bullshit.

I can't believe I'm saying this but, I enjoy the new Leopard more than I enjoy the T-50.

[QUOTE=CommieTurtle;40090687]I can't believe I'm saying this but, I enjoy the new Leopard more than I enjoy the T-50.[/QUOTE] You're not the only one. My friend who mostly plays US tanks got the Leopard just because of how fun it is to drive. I got mine again too. I never hated it or anything before, but now it's a great tank and fun to drive.

I really hated it before. It felt so inferior and pointless to drive. But now with the 3cm gun, it's a real shit wrecker.

Well, fuck. Beat my new EXP record again. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5976204/chinese_nuclear_missile_program.jpg[/img]

I fucking hate 3X weekends. Literally shitlords everywhere.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;40087752]T25AT is amazing but unless you are masochist I would either forget the branch continues past tier 7 or get a LOT of free exp to skip T28.[/QUOTE] But T28 is fun :(

I just realized I need like just about 30k XP to unlock both of the decent guns on the AT-8 once coming from the AT-2 and I can't even use the 3.7-Inch. Oh my fucking god this is going to suck for a long time.

[QUOTE=pawelte1;40092137]But T28 is fun :([/QUOTE] T28 is a lumbering slugshit with ground seeking shells, crap armor which gets penned by tier 8s and EVERYONE shooting premium shells, and tactical value of a cow with BSE. I already ragequit/sold it three fucking times. If I had to point out ONE tank I hate in WoT, it's T28. [editline]30th March 2013[/editline] The one single redeeming feature it has is the DPM, which gets negated by the lack of speed combined with inaccuracy.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;40092384]T28 is a lumbering slugshit with ground seeking shells, crap armor which gets penned by tier 8s and EVERYONE shooting premium shells, and tactical value of a cow with BSE.[/QUOTE] Personally I've found only T28, T34 and Lowe able to pen the LFP, otherwise it can ding pretty much everything with some angling. It also has good camo values and low silhouette. Moreover, spall liner helps a lot against artillery and HE shot by regular tanks.
