I've said this before but, I hope I'm not the only one waiting anxiously to boost up the troll level of the KV with +5% crits skill and see module/crew damage skill

AKA they don't know themselves.

But yeah they really ought to boost the Crew Training Acceleration since it's pretty useless currently. But I guess they would rather everyone to make lots of locked exp to buy their gold for.

M2 / t2 light with 5% critical chance will be interesting

Overlord also confirmed that they're planning to improve crew training in some way, but ETA 2023

We are planning to introduce a faster and more extraordinary way to train crews in future.

"Commander will be informed that his vehicle have been detected."

I think this will be valuable for every tank. Even heavies.

[Mastahamma]

I wish I could afford the nerve for a Chaffee. I loved it in the test server, a tiny Easy Eight zipping around at 60 km/h shooting everything on the move and massively pissing off all the heavies and mediums

According to Overlord, no delays have happened with 7.2 yet, it's "on schedule", aka release at end of February

Yet.


​delays are delayed

Wasn't too bad before the HE nerf, the M5 stuart was actually enjoyable. It must be horror to play now though.

[Allstone]

I can't see how the additional radio range would ever be useful.

What about the Beta tank? Weren't you in the beta?

[Allstone]

The Beta tank's not great for moneymaking. I generally made more with the SU-85-107 before I put equipment on it.

It has its wonders at times. What with the french tanks being introduced. I have gotten a lot more pleasurable battles out of it, not to mention money as well.

Then again you have tanks like the Hetzer, M41 (1st Gun), etc that also make good money.

[goon165]

betamobile was essentially a stock sherman with more armor, it's not all that good.

I got in to a bouncing war with a Hetzer one time, there was no winner.

Sold it. It wasn't great for moneymaking, was worth 300k, and was taking up a valuable slot in my garage.

Am I missing something, Tip? =(

Not the matchmaking.

You're a tier 8 medium, you get put in tier 8 matches.

[DEANO90]

No, not the matchmaking. The tip says bushes make for great camo, I always seem to get spotted, being shot by invisible tanks, all over.

Guys

Guys

What if we put 3 top tier french tanks together in a platoon and all loaded HE and ambushed the enemy's top tier tanks one by one?

[Mastahamma]

You have to be completely immobile for a few seconds, not even moving your gun, and even then your detection chance will be only slightly decreased.

Don't forget multigun/turret firing.

After dying to invisible tanks four times on Campinovka in his leichstraktor against superior enemies, my father uninstalled the game.

you could teach him how to play but

well that isn't easy at least it wasn't for me

[Orkel]

I tried. He's the "instant gratification" type and didn't even want to finish grinding for a t2

As far as the WoT community is concerned, you're a grade A++ player!

w/l ratio is a joke

Considering how many utterly braindead players I've met who have 45% win ratios, it actually does matter but only in the extreme ends (like 40-45% win ratio or 55-60% for shit and good players) and anything inbetween is generally luck

[Saza]

oh well in that case it's better off he doesn't play I guess

I don't blame him, the whole "invisible tank" system isn't the greatest system ever, and it doesn't work the greatest either.
