Lert: And yet, you keep playing.

Lert: Why do people shoot gold?   To annoy people like OP.

The_Chieftain:   I would argue that Strongholds has been a very good thing for organized/community play.   Maybe I'm getting egotistical, but I was hoping that the Chieftain in the Ranzar video would be wearing a Stetson,

The_Chieftain: They received their pay through the embassy in Dublin.    Interred? As in buried? Not sure.

Lert: And yet, you played it twelve thousand times.

Lert: Because it's supposed to be a status symbol of sorts and a rare tank, not something they give away to every casual that just happens to have a tier 10 in the garage.

Lert: At this point, if you haven't already built a good amount of fame, you're probably too late to begin.

Lert: Rhm B.

Lert: Great pieces. I've got a 1/35 KT I'm working on which has the dunkelgelb basecoat, just need a better airbrush for the camo.

Lert: No. It just means your engine is soaked in fuel, so you're more likely to get lit on fire on consecutive hits.

The_Chieftain: There was also an AMX105 snapshot

The_Chieftain:   Not exactly.   The 1944 TD manual states: "Since the armored division can meet strong armored attacks with effective organic weapons, tank destroyers may execute secondary missions on rare occasions, even when a hostile armored attack or counterattack is imminent. However, in most situations involving enemy armor, tank destroyers are best employed in the execution of their primary mission"   Note that the Devers mission didn't conclude that the TD units (or anti-tank artillery units, to use his preferred term) should be gotten rid of.

Lert:   The tier 6 KV-1S has a gun that does 175 pen and 390 dmg. Not a gun with "200 pen and 400 - 500 dmg".

Lert:   Please tell me where you get such a gun on the KV-1S.

The_Chieftain:   Erm.. They were only delayed 24 hours

Lert:   Because that totally won't be abused by clans.

Lert:   Two things:   - Bombs dropped by a german tier 3 bomber in WoWP already have more damage and splash than the premium shells from the biggest tier 10 artillery in WoT. - The distances a tank takes several minutes to traverse are just several seconds' worth of flying in an airplane, so the scale of the maps is completely off - a huge map for tanks would still be too small for planes.  

Lert: Not a bug. It's because sound assets don't get pre-loaded, so if a gun nearby fires for the first time that session, that gun's soundbite gets loaded on the fly.

Lert: Battles 21 - 30: Twentyfirst battle. Mountain Pass, vs tier 5's. Went to try and guard the middle bridge, when I got there I realized my viewrange would be way too short to effectively watch it. When a Pz III/IV charged over the bridge I decided to GTFO, heading to try and support the middle. Couldn't pen long range shots at the side of an AMX 38, got pwnt by a Pz I C. This Medium III is useless.     Twentysecond battle. Karelia, top tier. I go to the rock at the corner of the hill ramp, do some damage, move up a bit, get TD'd. Team still wins.     Twentythird battle: Airfield, vs tier 4's. Fired some AP and 6 APCR at the side of a distant B1, did some damage, got murdered by autoannon spam. Team lost.     Twentyfourth battle, top tier, Karelia. Didn't go too well, as most battles in this challenge don't go too well. Tried some long range fire against soft targets, got one shot through, got riddled with autocannon fire. Team lost. I lost credits on consumables, rather than ammo.     Twentyfifth battle (wooo, half done!), Ensk, top tier. I actually feel like I contributed a little bit during this match, which my team handily won.     Twentysixth battle, ElHalluf, vs tier 5's .... Oooh boy. Tried to hang back and 'snipe'. Didn't accomplish much. Team looked to steamroll the bad guys, until the red tier 5's just rolled through the north and started encroaching on our base. I headed back to try and def, putting two APCR rounds clean through a Churchill I before he took me out. Team won narrowly by cap.     Twentyseventh battle. Ensk, top tier. It went quite well. Got 4 kills, got second best damage, got my ace badge.     Twentyeighth battle, Himmelsdorf, top tier. I did quite good actually. Sniped middle for a little bit then supported tank alley. Got into a mind game with a Pz I C until a friendly sealclubber came along and killed the I C. Managed to get my fourth eye-for-an-eye with the last tank on the enemy team, an SU-26. Team rather handily won.     Twentyninth battle. Ensk, top tier. I do some damage, get focus-fired down. Team holds out roughly even, but ends up losing to being capped.     Thirtieth battle, Komarin, vs tier 5's. I got derp't by an M4/105, didn't accomplish anything worthwhile. Team still won.     Ace game, 9.4 replay   Thoughts after 30 battles:   280 hitpoints sounds very good for a tier 3, right? But with the DPM-vs-HP meta at low tiers and the thin armor that serves only to hold the crew inside when you go around a corner, the Medium III suffers against everything. Autocannons tear it to ribbons and derps jut pop the Medium III like a zit. Only against regular single-shot guns can it somewhat hold its own, but it always comes out of any duel bloodied, bruised and broken.   I'm going to be so happy when this challenge is over.   Stats so far:   Battles played: 30 Win rate: 50% Mastery: Ace DPG: 201 (getting better, still far from 'good') Survival rate: 3.33% (Yes! I actually survived a battle!) APCR fired: 14 Battles with a credit loss (assuming standard account): 5 Top tier battles: 14 Battles vs tier 4: 5 Battles vs tier 5: 11

The_Chieftain: I'm missing all the weekend fun and games, but for a good reason. I'm in Hawaii.

Lert:  

Lert:  

Lert:   You are right, I did not read. Mea culpa.   I would welcome a unified launcher. It might even get more people into the other games.

Lert: Enjoy driving your Maus in matches where planes can bomb you with impunity with bombs that would make T95 shells look like firecrackers, and where ships with 480mm guns bombard the map from offshore.   I did not properly read, my bad.

dance210:                                               Go ahead and apply for the tournament now :-)

Lert: That. Was actually pretty good.

Lert: What, Avatar Luna?       Should I be worried about that last one? :3

Lert: Armor angling, armor angling, armor angling. Also don't shoot at spaced armor.   There's a link in my sig which leads to my guides, read a few of them. Start from the top.

Lert: It's a bug. My suggestion is that they should fix it.   Also, shouldn't you rename to Avatar Korra, steel? :3

Lert: The stronghold 'leader' name doesn't update if the leader quits and someone else becomes the leader:     Lestat left, leaving sau in command, but the invitations are still coming from lestat.

Lert:   ... Really? -1 just on principle.

Lert:   Yes.  

Lert:   Look at my stats, decide for yourself. :)

Lert:   So, instead of buying one for money from WG, you would prefer to buy them for money from strangers?

Lert:   IE is the world's premier browser for downloading better ones.

Lert:   How should I know. Ask them.

Lert: 266 / 37324 = one every 140 battles. Not very good at all.
