World of Tanks

[TdC]

It makes you wonder, doesn't it. I've played games with fairly good players and it's been polarised into rocking or sucking. meh.

 

[TdC]

ofc for all my moaning and bitching, the occasional good game happens

 

[TdC]

woo first MoE on my Bishop arty in a lovely teamwork game. I was bouncing between good-ish and meh games during the evening, and then I had a run of good games culminating in a lovely game where myself and a very poorly T-28 outwitted an A-20 (who easily could have killed both of us) into getting derped by me to take the win.

 

[TdC]

XVM has been depressing me, so I decided to keep track. Today I played 24 games in order to leave the D.W. 2 behind me as fast as I could. Like Wij working the sailors down the docks.

Turns out results are actually worse than XVM's prediction today. *depressed* At least I won my first game in my shiny new 30.01 (H)

@TdC there is a sessions stat mod you can get that tell you these things automatically:
[0.9.16] Color Messages and Session Stats | World of Tanks 9.16

I normally install it as part of Aslain Mod pack.

 

[TdC]

Aha cheers dude, that's awesome!

 

[Ctuchik]

VIOLET STET PEDDLER!

 

[TdC]

soooooo, after building up a week of playing leaving me with a WN8 of 1700, a KD ratio of 2 and a WR of 50%, I played the weekend. I now have a WN8 of just over 1000, a KD of 0,85 and a WR of 28.6%. I don't think I am going to be playing weekends any more -.-

[TdC]

Woo my first CC ever. Fitting that it happened in a Matilda

Spoiler

Almost had the TG too. I was first, and my platoon mates were 2nd and 3rd.

 

[TdC]

I generally suck at the Cromwells but occasionally I channel someone who is actually any good at tanks and things work out. If I'd been just a little quicker I'd have had the Radley's too

Spoiler

 

[Ctuchik]

I generally suck at the Cromwells

*looks at the mastery badge*

Yeah you suck bad...

Fuck you man..

 

[TdC]

hehe thanks bro

 

[TdC]

although I managed a fabulous 30% WR this evening and sucked so bad I actually believe my cent 1 and caravan are cursed

 

[Ctuchik]

You tried to do well in a Caernarvon.. That's your problem..

 

[TdC]

well to be fair in one game yesterday I blocked almost 3K damage with my turret. I really hate the British heavies. in fact, up to now (T8), I've hated all of the British tanks except the Comet and...don't laugh...the Black Prince. After a painful grind in the latter, I suddenly worked out how to play it and had an awesome 20 or so final games.

 

[Ctuchik]

You didn't include the AT-2 in your short list of British tanks you like. Clearly you're a scrub...

 

[TdC]

Ahh fo'sho'! Sorry haven't played any of the British TD's yet.

This sums up my experience for all things British with the exception of the Mathilda: (a) charge in and perish horrifically, team generally loses; (b) don't charge in, rack up insane amounts of armour and assistance damage, get screamed at by team for having 0 kills, team ultimately loses.

 

[Ctuchik]

Then you haven't experienced the true World of Tanks yet..

Get the AT-2, fit it with a spall liner and never stop moving.

 

[TdC]

sooooo, in a complete surprise I got my first KV-2 Ace Tanker badge with a nice High Caliber in the very first game I played today. it was rather unexpected as I didn't really have the feeling I was doing anything special, and I would never have thought that < 3K damage dealt would be enough in a KV-2. I think I got lucky with the x3 weekend special tbh.

Mastery badges are based around base exp so triple weekend does not matter (or did i missunderstand you?)

Hade one good game yesterday

 

[TdC]

whoo boy, this game was hilarious! and that after a streak of so-so games too!

Spoiler

 

[TdC]

What? You hate the Crusader? It is basically a T34 with light tank bonuses?

 

[Lethul]

New tank, first good game. Surprised it wasn't Ace even if it was all sniping

 

[TdC]

Haha I never said I was rational in my dislikes. I just firmly believe that all of my British tanks are cursed, the light ones especially so

It is not a light! It is a medium with camo, treat it as a medium and you will be rewarded

 

[TdC]

bleh, no way. I've been one-shotted too many times in mine to see it as anything other than made of tissue

 

[TdC]

Been a while since I got an ace. Always a bit naff to get one for a defeat but hey ho an ace is an ace
