****** Official World of Tanks OcUK Clan ******

every game I played last night and I mean every one had a lemming train in it. T4 to T7.
Also a lot had a T-50 bursting forward as you explained. I also agree that when you make a comment about the lemmings no one answers. I usually get the odd "true" or "agree" from prob the only other skilled WOT player in the battle.


I've been going through my back catalogue of games to play so not been on WOT for over a week until last night and it seems to have just got worse.

Back to Far Cry 3 for me.
 
a lot of the "elitist" players are to good to play in games where a lot of people have 48-50% win ratios...
Had more than a few idiots say "to many reds" and drive straight into the nearest drowning point.

a lot of people aren't low because they are **** they are low because they mess about grinding tanks to much and it skews their stats, if all I played was the high tiers I would have a lot better stats than I do.

I wish some people would at least give their team a chance before they decided the game is lost

I disagree. You only have to be in a game and see some fool doing something stupid in any tier and lo and behold you check their stats and they are a red player. Rarely do I see low eff players doing anything even remotely useful thats just a fact of the game. I do agree however that committing suicide before you've even tried is not very good...although playing game after game with idiots makes you like that.

I stopped looking at players efficiency on my own side as it was just depressing. If i died i used to flick through the cams and watch the ones with low and high efficiency, more often than not the ones with really low eff were lucky to hit their target 1 in 10 shots lol.
 
Messed around on the T9 Patton and T10 Batchat for about an hour on the test server and seem to be making a profit in credits, is that normal on the main server for T9 and T10 mediums? I know gameplay is different on test with the Ruskis being careless and thus fodder. Only have the JgdTiger for T9 on normal and it's hit and miss as the arty usual focus me, haven't had a T10 since the game was originally in beta.

Really liking the Patton and was aiming for that on the Pershing anyway, its accuracy despite the stat saying 0.42 feels much better than that. Batchat i'm not sure what i'm doing with yet as i haven't played autoloaders before but seems fun, don't stop moving seems to be the main thing with that lol. I'll try out the T54 this evening and see if it feels worth going through the t43 and t44 for me.

Profit in tier 9 and 10 games is limited, have a good game and you can just about break even, a great game sees a reasonable profit but more often than not its a loss each time - hence the need for premium accounts and premium tanks to raise some credits.

I''d played the Patton on the test server and really liked it's accuracy on the move, its not quick but it has a nice punch to the gun. The autoloaders are a tricky beast to master. Stand still and you'll get hit by everything, like you say keep moving or keep hidden is the key. The autoloader tanks tend to be quicker and move agile than the the standard one shot counterparts but a 50B can rape a IS7 down to very low HP in one volley, same goes for the T-57 Heavy. However the armour is non existant, you have to hit and run!

The T54 is like the Type 59 on steroids. Probably one of my favourite meds and one I'm keeping in my garage.
 
Cheers fella.

I've a feeling it'll be the Patton i focus on getting on the main server, so far it feels like a much better T20 from the get go but with decent damage and it took me a while to like that tank, played around 150 battles in the Pershing so far and some games i like it but mostly i don't due to the MM. I really like the US tanks gun depression and abusing the terrain, i really wish German tanks could play more like that. Always pees me off when i jump on say the Panther or Tiger 2 and try to crest a hill.

Type 59 has never been on sale while i've been playing unfortunately otherwise i'd have bought it, getting to the point i feel i'll be needing a moneymaker soon. In some ways i hope i don't like the T54 when i try it later as i'll end up even more skint, so many tanks so little time :p

Since getting the JgdTiger and not liking the MM i've been going for T8 tanks as the matches were fun compared to the T9 ones until the past week or two so credits aren't as bountiful as they once were. Meds seem much more suited to me now though even though i loved TD's to begin with so i might enjoy T9 in them better.

Only tried the T69 and T57 in one match each so far. The T57 was campinovka with the low tier start points so half my team was dead by the time i even got to the tyop of the hill and never had a chance to get a feel for it. The T69 i didn't like straight away, for a medium it moves like a brick. After i stopped testing it's movement at the spawn i got 4 shots into the side of one of the new german meds, didn't kill it then got raped by it and another right after lol.

Guilty of this last night.
Xvm is a double edged sword, i already have the win chance turned off. But when u see that your team has just 3 yellows and the rest red or orange and the opposite side has loads of greens with even a blue toon u know your team is going to get raped.
We even had a Lowe on our team with an eff. of 650ish and 42% win rate after 25k battles :eek: How can anyone be that bad? :confused:
So i just done a suicide run into enemy, got killed and noticed i still came 3rd in the team resluts in damage lol.
 
When you die use the cam to watch some of them. I know there are matches when i've felt like i played bad but when you watch some of the others you have to wonder why they even play.

But why though? Whats the point?
I no longer use Xvm, or in fact any mods for that matter since I broke my mods folder in 8.4. Finding the game much more enjoyable not knowing how good or bad the team is before a shots even fired!!
