World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Train!
WORLD OF TANKS
Thread II: The Threadening
World of Tanks is a multiplayer online game developed by Wargaming.net featuring mid-20th century era fighting vehicles. It is built upon a freemium business model where participants only have to pay for optional features. The focus is on player vs. player gameplay with each player controlling a tank or armored vehicle.

Nonono. This won't do at all. Let's do a proper opening post since this thread seems to have enough traffic to warrant it. Something with a big capitals "World of Tanks", maybe a quick description and download link, mayhap a player list and maybe something fun If you want, I could draft it up for you.

Works fine. Excellent. Unrelated, I just found out that T-34/85 vs. Type 59 ends up in T-34/85 victory. Somehow. Engine fire and turret bounces had something to do with it but it was still probably the best tank vs. tank fight I've ever fought.

I introduced a friend to it, and he was like "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER SEEN"
And I don't even have any big tanks to show off either.
My record is 4 kills in a single match. I think I'm average at the game now? At least I don't suck!

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
That illustrates the "Lemmings" part of the thread title PERFECTLY.
For the "bragging" bit, I had an 8-kill game in my T49 TD last night. Ensk in a Tier-5 max battle where I ran down the open field, got a T82 and D2 there, then got behind their lines and just smashed things. One of those games where you feel invincible!

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
I finally managed to kill an IS 8 in my M103.
Laugh not, those things have been the bane of my existance since the patch with absurdities like bouncing off their side hulls while they penetrate my frontal armour, having consistantly 0 damage shots even when I penetrate, and similar world of tanks nonsense.
That same battle, I proceeded to get 5 total kills (An AMX120, a KV1, an AMX 12 90, and an M12 arty piece as well as significantly damaging the other enemy IS 8.)
One of my best battles in a long while.Claspedchurches: This is a mudstone dwarven fortress. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Did I mention my battle with the SU-26 where I killed a Tiger and a Stug III with direct fire? Granted, it was a desperate move, seeing that I was the only one left, but I can only imagine the face the Tiger player had when I blew his tank up.
They're advertising pretty heavily in the SEA region, and are having almost weekly events.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Working my way up the French light line. For the most part, it has been an unpleasant experience.
The Tier-2 I can forgive. It may be slow, but it's armored like the micro-maus.
Tier-3 as just painful, I used up the last of my free experience to skip past it after five or so matches.
AMX-40... I don't even know where to begin. It seems to max out at 14 km/h on a level, paved surface when it's stats say it should be able to get up to 50. That only happens if you have a nice, long and steep hill to go down. The armor isn't terrible but wating for the below-tier but best in the tank cannon is really painful.
Only thing keeping me going is the promise of an auto-loader cannon next tier.Master of Orion II: Let's Play! Of Klackons and Gnolams

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
I'm not sure which was worse, the AMX 38 or 40. They were both fairly painful. But both did have really good armor for their tier and both with and against them they bounce a lot of shots. I think I got a Steel Wall with both of them in fact. The worse part was that they were always too slow to be where they needed to be at any given time. Which made it hard to get kills and get exp, not that the gun was too weak, but simply that everyone else got all the kills while you were getting there.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
By the way, what are some good mods people can recommend? Simple ones that just improve the GUI or make the game look/sound better or some such?

The only mod I keep hearing being tossed around are the hitbox mods. (Ones where they saw each tank's weakspots.)

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Personally, I prefer this one. Updates a lot of stuff, gives you a handy hit counter for how many times you've been hit, shell travel time for arty, and a lot of other cool stuff. Be sure to do the perma serverside crosshairs, too. They bumped my hit percentage up by about 5% alone.
There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.'

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
wow..pure rng hate for me
just played a game in my m40/43..1850 damage gun..
direct hit to side of a stationary t-50-2..he lives at 40%
direct hit to enemy m40/43..he lives at 30%
???!!??!???!!?!!
my MINIMUM damage is more than their HPPonies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
HE rounds? If it does not penetrate their armour (always a possibility with all the wonky shenanigans WoT does), it only deals half damage. That damage is then further reduced by an unknown coefficient based on the thickness of armour. The same reason why my SU-26 can't dent a stupid KV unless I hit them from the top.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
look at the targets i mentioned again
penetration was not a problem
with a direct hit the he "sphere" is more than sufficiently big to get through the side of t-50-2 and the top of arty even w/o straight up shot penetration
(which i had on both)
i guess it was a scenario of "the shot went through the armor and exploded inside the cabin..thus "containing" the blast and doing less damage"...........
or some BS like thatPonies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Regarding the AMX 40. One game, we needed to send somebody back to defend base, and the 2 closest at about the same distance were me in my AMX 40, and a KV (pre patch). Our team unanimously agreed that the fastest choice here was the KV.
Even though overall I did OK with it (not too far below .500 match record, with really below par kill numbers), I'd have to rank the AMX 40 well below the M3 Lee as the worst tank. The other disadvantage of playing it is that it in no way prepares you for how to drive the AMX 12t that comes after, you have to learn everything about it from scratch.
The best role I found for it was as a plug in a hole somewhere. Get behind the corner of a building and play peek-a-boo with the enemy, not really even worrying about getting off shots because you're unlikely to hurt them. Just poke out, let your armor take a shot or try to get them to miss, then repeat. If you get lucky, they'll waste a lot of time delaying their advance instead of realizing they can just bum rush you any time they want. Not a glamorous role, but one that sometimes really helps your side get a positional advantage.I have my own TV show featuring local musicians performing live.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Bwahahahahahaha. One of my best games ever Tonight!
12. Freaking. Kills. My entire team sans a T-14 runs off to their deaths in the South leaving me in a bush guarding the North-West route to our base with the T-14 hiding behind a building somewhere near me. There after about the sixth or seventh kill my heart rate really started to go up and it got to be a really close one when they figured they could come see me more than one at a time. The T14 served as a great distraction until he got himself killed by leaving the comfort of cover with five or six enemy tanks still alive.
I cackled furiously as the last remaining tank, an M2 Medium hid behind a rock after I killed the KV that he had come up the little slope with before finishing him off.
God, what a rush.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
As I might have bemoaned several times in the past thread, the Priest has an unholy tendency to bounce frontal shots from stuff that should slaughter it easily. Hell, I've had an 88/71 bounce it before, and it has 203mm of penetration.

Shiny Ace Tanker for my T-50 and T49 today. Good games to be had.
Gotta admit, the T-50 is a whole new level of fun, dancing around tanks and shooting off tracks and engines.

Re: World of Tanks II: Fighting, Bragging, Raging Edition - All aboard the Lemming Tr
Gratz on the 12 kill game, beats my record of 10 kills in my T50.
In Other news, i finally made a descision, and sold the IS4. The IS7 is just simply a better T10 tank all round. (IMO)
Better gun (in practice, if not in theory), More versatile, Front armour that actually stops shots, better mobility.
And, looks a lot better too.
It was a sad day indeed, and whilst i agree the IS4 was a STRONG tank at Tier 9... the adjustments made when it uped a tier just dont work for it's intended role. The IS7 is STILL a better brawler than the IS4, with the added bonus of all its other uses as well.Last edited by SanguisAevum; 2012-06-01 at 04:33 AM.

SU-26 is a tiny spiteful machinegun artillery of death to lights and mediums and surprising feats if you backstab with it (which is very possible seeing it's tiny profile and TURRET WOOHOO). I keep a single gold shell in it for just those occasions - my only fadin's medal (kill the last enemy with the last shell in your tank) was with my SU-26 against an IS who trundled right past me only for me to lob my final cursed shot into his engine, burning him to death.
As for lower-ranked matches...

I got the former set just now, and the previous some time back. Fun stuff!
