Not sure if anyone cares here, but the current state of W.O.T. SEA matchmaking is horrendous.

literally KV-220 and KV rape matches while the lower tiers cower and run away.

**Raidyr** · 3rd May 2012

I dropped.

**Apache249** · 3rd May 2012

Oh, would you look at that. Well, have fun guys.

I know it's old but I really wanted to take a screen shot of this. Damn computer can't handle me pressing the print screen button.

Looking up the carrier-based planes the US gets in World of Warplanes. Found this gem.

One particularly unusual kill was scored by Marine Lieutenant R. R. Klingman of VMF-312 (the "Checkerboards"), over Okinawa. Klingman was in pursuit of a Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu ("Nick") twin engine fighter at extremely high altitude when his guns jammed due to the gun lubrication thickening from the extreme cold. He flew up and chopped off the Ki-45's tail with the big propeller of the Corsair. Despite missing five inches (127 mm) off the end of his propeller blades, he managed to land safely after this aerial ramming attack. He was awarded the Navy Cross.

Hey look, you got stuck on nothing.

That's bigfail engine for you, it can't even properly simulate a shell hitting a target, let alone use any physics at all

**JoeSkylynx** · 3rd May 2012

Guys... I think some internet god is looking down on me. The back of my T20 Turret fricking bounced a shell from a 152MM BL-10.

Goblin_5 · 3rd May 2012

Oh yeah (from memory on RU in development page);

Patch 0.7.4 is due (using a WN(WG) estimated date) June.

It will have the French TD and SPG lines, Renault G1 R , premium IS-6 and 88L/71 JadgTiger and two maps.

Might be late but still, they just had to delay the German TDs we've been teased with since january.

**Raidyr** · 3rd May 2012

Yeah Overlord confirmed German TD's in 7.5 after 7.4 being French SPG/TD. Gotta get my Ferd and grind XP before it hits anyway. Luckily I probably have 6 months.

I don't think it'd be good enough for T10 though, same with the Object 268. Especially since the 268 doesn't have much armor or mobility.

Just make them what they are meant to be. Upgunned as fuck. Give the M-62 on SU-122-54 something like 10RPM (4400 DPM anyone?) while keeping it relatively agile.

Same with 268. Just give it enough armor (because fuck realistic armor values on vehicles which barely even exited) and give it's 152mm 5.5RPM. Murder everywhere.

Edited:

Thing is that Tank Destroyers sorta stopped being a thing in Soviet doctrine mostly, as they focused on MBTs. There's that crazy Molot thing but that's 80s or what.

Just take these vehicles which were mostly prototypes anyway and make them your tier 10s.

**Awesomecaek** · 3rd May 2012

I like how you didn't even get Ace rank on it.

The average exp of some people has to be utterly crazy.

**Raidyr** · 3rd May 2012

I've said it before but they need to raise the XP for losing. This game is retarded when you are on a bad streak.

The game punishes you for having a bad team. Which it gave you.

**napalm_bomb** · 3rd May 2012

Holy shit I start up WOT and proceed to lose EVERY match I take part in and in each I've done pretty good in the end my team dies and I get mega swarmed I quit after like the 10th game.

**Raidyr** · 3rd May 2012

Two garbage IS-7's rushed in on Komarin and died doing nothing and spent the whole time crying, while our combination of T8 mediums and heavies pushed through with artillery support. I got 2 kills, Lowe got 2 kills, and an S51 got 6.

OreoExtremist · 3rd May 2012

I would have bought the T25/2 by now if i wasnt waiting for the sale to start. So now i basically got nothing to do until the sale starts but grind for more money that i dont really need. Ah well.

**the_killer24** · 3rd May 2012

oh cool i'm still in the team

Dethroned

**Awesomecaek** · 3rd May 2012

Not that normal GWP wouldn't look well, I just have a weakness for naked guns.

That's why I absolutely love S-51s look.

Drag#! · 3rd May 2012

Had 2 good rounds. With my Patton I was able to get a Top Gun at Caucasus.
And with my IS, I was able to hold off the enemy team with a friendly T29 on Mannerheim Line. Also I got a Top Gun and a Steel Wall.

**Doom14** · 3rd May 2012

I ended up selling my S-51. Felt too dirty playing it, and I was tired of being too slow so that if I shot and someone was trying to counter, I was dead meat.

My fondest memory before removing it? Patton on Ensk moving up left side. I'm on left side, fuck. He pulls up behind a destructible building and starts playing peekaboo with a E-50 like a coward. I say fuck this, I'm spotted anyways. Drive right at him, bust THROUGH building, angle gun at turret, fire. I'm instantly killed. He's instantly killed with a penetrating shot (magic and miracles). Died like a hero.

Seems like shitty teams once again.

Just had to save a game myself with 9 kills in my hellcat, including preventing enemy cap.

Still don't understand how people can do this in their spare time yet wargaming has yet to implement any hint of visible crew members.

Don't even care if they move or really shitty animations. Just a nice touch.

It's because they don't want to lose their rating, or so they said if I recall correctly.

Age rating? Sounds a bit silly. Then again if the age rating system is retarded I can see why. Not like you're going to see chunks of people come flying out of your tank though when it explodes or something. They could just dissapear.

Burnout Paradise has people on bikes that disappear when you crash and the game is still rated or E or E10.
