There was one moment that was awesome, though. I was in a T-20, and was busily running away from a pair of SU-152s that got the jump on me as I was cut off from the rest of my team. I had less than 5% HP left, and I was high-tailing it back to base on a road that provided enough partially cover I thought I could make it. As I'm turning off the road to go up the hill to base, a T-29 comes over the top of the berm I was using for cover and put a round directly into the back of my tank. It bounced. The guy was shooting gold ammo, from <100m away, and hit me dead center. That armor is supposed to be 38mm thick. His gun/ammo combination is listed at 245mm of penetration. ... and it fucking bounced. At least I wasn't the only one the RNG fucks with. |

played tonight, for the first time in about a month. 8 bit is a hoot, but the level of play in regular games was just awful.
on the good side, i went 6 for 7 in the E75, with an average WN8 of 4308. but apparently i couldn't stand success, and decided to play other tanks also. ergo i finished the night at 47% win and a WN8 less than half that. |

Had some down time today on my business trip so caught up on the thread. How long is the 8-bit tank fun going to be around? I'm off line for another week or so, but would love me some rapidly trained crews to have around for the future.
All this talk of the M44 has me thinking maybe I'll buy it back. Gave it (and all other arty) up in the last great arty nerf, and have only played the BERT since. The new aim mode seems to help make me a bit more accurate, but still very frustrating when a fully aimed shot doesn't at least draw iron. I'm ok with not being able to hit tank weak spots with indirect fire. But after 15+ seconds of aiming I ought to at least hit the damn take some where! |

MM hate me and my M44 crew. thanks for 2 days of complete frustration, zoomies.
My teams just literally melt before me. My 3-skill crew, freshly out of 8-bit academy, cannot hit a standing still tank at 400m. It seems as though, I would be better off picking a spot on the outside rim of the reticle, as the round is NEVER going to the center.... that's the one spot that is safe for OPFOR. I can't seem to shake the bad luck stink on this tank. |

Ok, so I joined a clan about 6 weeks ago. Things are going ok, but does Arfcom offer something better?
My recent WN8 is about 825, so I'm not great, but competent. Are you guys running CW and Skrims? |
|
|
So, after my complaints about the T-34 a few pages back, and with this weekend's T-34 event(s), I decided to go all out on it. Took awhile to get the hang of it and took a fair bit of gold, especially with all the Tier 7s it sees, but I managed to grind out all three tanks it branches out to (already have the SU-85). It wasn't cheap, as far as the credits go, but I ground out a good 70 or 80k xp in a few hours. Wins: 22/34 Avg Dmg: 625 WN8: 1862 Mind you, there were a good 8-12 0-100 damage matches at the beginning of that. MM was really hitting me hard, especially at the beginning of the run. I still prefer the Sherman or Pz IV H. Which of the follow on tanks do you guys recommend? I'm kind of leaning towards going for the A-44. I almost never see them in the game, but when I do, they always seem pretty good. I kind of like that back mounted turret. I'll probably try them all eventually. |

I sorta did a bad thing...
I blocked a teammate in, but for a valid tactical reason. Skating on your non-turreted TD's is not helpful toward winning, so I made him stick around. http://youtu.be/dLPf-mvNSCE [youtube]http://youtu.be/dLPf-mvNSCE[/youtube] http://youtu.be/dLPf-mvNSCE http://youtu.be/dLPf-mvNSCE and I still can't get the damned thing to work |
