8.0 Team was getting its ass kicked as usual while I was at the top. The enemy team was clustered in our base and we had no hope of winning so I brought out the NBFZ..

They were supposed to give that decal to the owners of the German sherman like 2 years ago. What did you do to get that trophy?
Edit:
Apparently there's a whole set of special decals that you can unlock right now. You can find them in achievements - special.

I want it just for the title.
I been trying to play Soviet Tanks. But the KV1-L11 and the T34 1940 with the same gun are painful to play. Please tell me the Soviet Med and Heavy tanks get better and don't become total and utter poop further in.
... but those are literally two of the best guns in that BR, excepting the american guns. their APHE rounds are absurd

L-11 gun bad, F-34 good

What really? Cause I seem to be struggling to pen ANYTHING unless it is the rear of the tank, and even then isn't always a clear pen. The T-50 puts up a better fight against BR3+ tanks than the KV-1 and T-34 1940 combined. :/
[editline]1st April 2016[/editline]
I been trying to research the T-34 1942, the gun in that seems promising, combined with general tank changes. But grinding to get there with the two aforementioned tanks is draining my will for it. I leave the KV1 and the T-34 1940 in my line up and then run the T-50 to fight against the BR 3 tanks just so I can actually play at that sort of tier.

Get the T-34 1941, once you get the BR-350B rounds for it the game turns into easy mode.
Again, my team consists of glue-eaters when I activated the golden wager. Three losses in a row.

There are rumors that having a wager or booster is correlated with shitty matchmaking, but I would take those claims with a grain of the salt that they're producing.

Any matchmaking conspiracies can be answered with pretty much:
Why the hell are they singling out [I]you?[/I] Over the other 31 players in the match, why does Gaijin hate [I]you?[/I]
[editline]1st April 2016[/editline]
The answer, duh, being they don't and you're paranoid and probably bad. Running a high value wager/booster you're gonna play edgy because you're paranoid about wasting it, but when it's just an average game you're chill and you're gonna fuck people up
Obviously the answer is to have someone look for battles for you and not tell you whether or not a wager was activated :v:
I basically only play Japan RB nowadays, so I can't tell whether or not having a wager is fucking me over.

Still enjoying the ships, it's filling the void that AC4: Black Flag left.
To be fair, [B]MM did use to purposefully fuck you over by looking at your last ten battles and placing you lower/higher in the BR spread respectively[/B] and the devs admitted as much. Supposedly, its' since been removed, which I'd have to agree with after how few 5.3 battles we got into with a three man Calliope squad that only lost once after 26 battles.

5.0/5.3 is a MM hotspot. T-34-85x2, Su-152, Su-85M, M4A3, Jumbo, Hellcat, Comet, Avenger, JpIV/70, etc

I said we got few though. Maybe 2 actual 5.3 matches across those 26 battles with nothing but wins.
I would say their old short-sighted buttfucking is gone and most people's "help I've been uptiered and I can't get up" posts are because they're hovering in horrible hotspots (4.7/5.7 in tanks for example) where everyone's playing the FOTM up 1.0BR.
4.3BR is relatively safe in tanks. So is 5.3 if you can handle Tigers/Panthers - but there's not a lot at 5.3 (besides both T-34-85s iiirc) that people don't also run with other 5.7/6.0 stuff (IS-1/IS-2.)
Why do people just friendly fire in custom battles with a reason of "it's custom battle".. I just want to be able to drive around my tank without worrying about getting destroyed and not being able to use it again till the next match.
Game starts and I'm driving my Tiger up to the first objective and I take a round in the rear disabling the horizontal turret drive. A friendly panther shot me in the back and I just say "Why".
I repair it real fast and move into town to remove line of sight and he then says "custom battles" and puts another round into my rear again and disables my engines and now I'm just sitting on the road trying to take in the fact that this is actually happening. He then says "If you don't like it, you could just" he cuts off since he's at this point maneuvering past me, I could guess that he had to cut the comment short because of the maneuver and I could tell what he's gonna say next so as he passed me, I shot him right in the rear blowing up him up. I type in "RIP" and leave the game.
fuck those people.

Really tempted to buy this, but apparently you don't get eagles if you already own the tanks which is lame as hell.

Apparently if you already own the tanks you can do an achievement to unlock the title.

ditto! if i hadn't bought the T-34-100 during the christmas sale, or if they gave eagles back, i'd be all over that shit - a p good T-44 variant, an insane T-34 variant, and stalin's own UFO.
[editline]a[/editline]
actually, that may be why they don't refund eagles on it - they have no way set up to easily determine how many eagles you paid for it originally, so they wouldn't be able to avoid over-compensating people.
VK-107 is far from a UFO, plenty of planes outdo it entirely. There's nothing it can do against a properly flown Spit XIV

The best plane in the Soviet tree is the 190 D-9
