I would've played with you doom but I used the ingame chat, sorry Also I can't remember the last time I saw a Steam announcement from IFAP.
[QUOTE=TheLolrus;45654512]Also I can't remember the last time I saw a Steam announcement from IFAP.[/QUOTE] Yeah, they worked for me, and then they didn't. I missed like 20 from Timezbrick and felt awful. We really need a better solution, something that pings people with a bright and handy "HEY, FUCK YOU BALTIMORE."

I doubt there's anything else that can be done from within Steam itself, you'd have to use some other piece of software.
[QUOTE=Doom14;45654069]oh god [B]oh god[/B] After a few months of way too many RB battles, I go back to Arcade for the 4Xs on some shit planes. WHAT. [B]WAS[/B]. [B][U]WRONG WITH ME.[/U][/B] Everything handles like a drunk Scottish pixie and shit's going way too fucking fast I can't even pay attention I feel like I have the inverse of ADHD. These new Arcade flat maps spawning everyone face to face with boring ground targets just compounds this even more. You don't have any time to get your bearings or anything, they've just acknowledged that all it will ever be is one big perpetual clusterfuck. [/QUOTE] How to win AB for all of time and space. 1.) Take a level bomber. 2.) Take it as high as you can as quickly as you can 3.) Single-handedly annihilate the enemy team and observe as the true power of "ah fuck it" surfaces in the eyes of your pursuers. 4.) Become a temporal singularity as you reach critical mass from the levels of Сука Блять being thrown at you.
So after getting my Russian tank victory in one battle then having to slog through 8 matches to pick up my German one I actually bothered to check my stats, specifically win rate, with both nations. Turns out that nearly every Russian tank I've driven has a higher win rate than every other German tank. With the exception of one outlier, my worst Russian tank has won more games than my best German tank. Honestly I always thought both sides had a fair congregation of good, average, and bad tanks but the stats are pretty stark and I can see where people get the idea of Russian bias from. If I only played Russian tanks up to this point (Era 3) my win rate would be 30% higher than if I played German. That's nuts. [editline]11th August 2014[/editline] The one outlier is the Panzer II C because it gets ammo that penetrates every tank it fights frontally at all ranges and [I]even then [/I]it only has a 2% higher win rate than my worst Russian tank, the ZIS-30.
Oh my god the shrapnel shells for the T-28 are so OP it's not even funny. One hit kill on everything it penetrates. Now if only I was a good enough shot to get one through the driver's window on a Stug. Do any other tanks get shrapnel shells because this is just fucking amazing.
This is normal, right guys? [IMG]http://gyazo.com/4843df575e20764c043e21a31ff3cacf.png[/IMG]
That's not normal at all who let those fighters into the match

The first thing I did in my Japanese planes was to see if I could get kills by diving into things :v:
So what the hell are the missions for the 11th - 17th premium tanks? Anyone know yet?

[vid]http://a.pomf.se/zoqkbf.mp4[/vid] Does anybody have a suggestion for where to upload these instead of pomf.se? Going to that site makes me feel like a fucking creep.

Everyone and their dog uses that over on Reddit, so it must be at least partially decent. [editline]a[/editline] On second thought, I have no idea if you can directly upload a pre-made .webm to it, or if it just converts .avi / .gif to it. I should probably have checked that :v: [editline]a[/editline] Oh... It works, but they're limited to 00:15 or less. Welp, that sucks.
[IMG]http://i5.minus.com/iu0SP3OctH4cp.png[/IMG] we lost also, why doesn't this game do any other time of day maps? Like night, or sun setting. All I see is clear skies, or cloudy messes.
[QUOTE=Covalent;45657889]also, why doesn't this game do any other time of day maps? Like night, or sun setting. All I see is clear skies, or cloudy messes.[/QUOTE] Children complained too much. I could see it being a bit frustrating in RB, but night maps were great in AB. I wish RB got more dawn and dusk settings instead. Also, occasionally there's something called rainy nighttime fog in which your visibility is about 5m and it's terrifying. :v:
I am pretty sure nightime maps still happen from time to time but they are exceedingly rare. I also had a rainy tank map a few days ago. Early morning/late evening maps are quite common in tanks, too.

Seeing a giant pasta bomber appear right in front of you out of nowhere is absolutely terrifying
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;45657967]I am pretty sure nightime maps still happen from time to time but they are exceedingly rare.[/QUOTE] I've had a few night and twilight maps in Arcade, but I've never seen them in RB ever. Night in Arcade is beautiful if it's not one of the new shitty flat maps and there's some naval units throwing laser spotlights about.

I have the Blunderjet. Go me I guess.

Acceleration is slower but agility and energy retention are superior to the F80C. Feels like a good sidegrade.
