So I've been trolling wotreplays for ones posted by the best players in an effort to git gud and ran across this one.  What struck me is how much this guy uses autoaim.

If you run it from his point of view you can see how his tactical focus is on placing his reticle to autoaim.  

All this reminds me of a few months ago when they banned autoaim plus and everyone was bitching that they should make the autoaim target bigger and this replay really illustrates what an advantage autoaim can be.   Currently very few of us will be able to utilize it the way he does.  

It seems unfair that an excellent player gets an additional easter egg by having the dexterity and reflexes to quickly click such small targets.

The old version of right clicking and locking on to a tank nearest to your reticle is banned. However, the new version allows you to right click and wobble your cursor for a couple seconds over that miniscule outline and once you do, it locks on.

Got a handful of games down with the Charioteer...as expected the top cannon on this thing is absolutely awesome. Of course, it has it's downsides, the low HP pool and lack of depression forces you to be clever, and the camo is so-so. However, combined with the turret, this TD is actually pretty useful, even in X matches.

I'm closing in on the Emil II and the Skoda T50...both are less than 50k XP away. Between the AMX30, I'm not sure which I'll get first, or maybe none until I see them go on sale.

That worked well years ago when everybody was Clueless to not shoot the Turret now in day well it seems they target the turret 70% of the time or better.

Maybe now with the New MM it is possible it can be come op again.

Sounds like fun, if only it was available.

OP tier 5 non prem is the KV1S with the derp, if you shoot straight gold.  I have like a 62% WR in it.  140 pen and 370 damage is insane for that tier.  Funny thing is that if you don't waste shots with misses and bounces you just about break even on credits.

Or an arty game in  a non-city map?

Does it really help that much? I've been thinking of re-rolling my E50/E50M drivers with that perk.

With other news...UDES is unlocked. Ikv 90 B grind was really not that bad. 56% WR with 724 avg xp. I kind of want to buy it for the unique siege mode, but from what I understand the VIII-X Swed TDs are hit or miss in terms of being able to be effective on a map.

Let's put it this way, ramming things half your weight in a e50 and e50m will vastly reduce their HP if you are going full speed. Experienced players will track you to avoid the ram. It is brutal. I have rammed T29's with my e50 for 600. Think about what one will do to a stationary bat.
Link Posted: 5/29/2017 6:10:26 PM EDT
[#34]
I guess I've got an hour to think about what I've done. The T29 can shoot me as much as he wants with apparent impunity, but I get locked for responding with fire.

If I didn't have so much money tied up in this game in the past 5 years, I'd walk away and tell these russian fucks to go shove a rusty steak knife up their dickholes.

Yes, do.  The siege mode thing is a very unique part of the game and worth experiencing....although Dez says the STB might be getting a siege mode????

Moreover, the UDES has a cloaking device.   Full camo crew and camo net = disappearing act.  I don't run paint on it but that might make it completely transparent.

I think WG screwed up HE ammo.

I have been running the RU251 and looking to hit other lights with the 105 penetration HEP (I think that's what it is) ammo.

Hitting other lights even in the ass does 45 damage. It's annoying.
