Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HDSledge: 10 rounds with the Bobject: Blocked 2,000 damage every round although I clearly suck with it. Long range TD work is ingrained into my brain. Up close feels alien. Damage dealt was paltry ~ 2,000 or so. Will take some getting used to. It's pretty counter-intuitive but it works. Don't try brawling 1v1 so much as go with heavies and while they're focusing on the main heavies, whack the shit out of them for 650-900.  Also, the commander hatch on the right side of the gun is the big weakspot for the tank. |

How far out is too far out with the Bobject? Still effective at 200 meters?

Fun fact, 9.1k combined in a Manticore is still a 2nd class. Somebody is out there having absolutely ridiculous games in those things.

I've seen some tanks where 1200 base XP is a 2nd/1st.  Also, the Manticore has been talked about a lot lately and being underrated so I imagine quite a few purps are playing it to get familiar with it to bring it into Clan Wars.

Clan wars is a meta that I don't really get so I can't say how it would fare there. I do think it has gotten a bad rap that it doesn't really deserve, probably because it doesn't "really" seem to want to play like people think other lights should. People get hung up on the low DPM, long reload, and limited ammo capacity when they shouldn't. It isn't a 5k damage carry the team on your back kind of tank. What is does have is excellent camo, vision, and gun handling, as well as mobility on par with the best of its peers. It is a flex/ambush tank that does quite well at selectively removing tanks from play to enable allies to do what they need to do. Find a problem, find an angle, remove the problem, flex somewhere else. Don't put yourself in a DPM situation, because it won't work. It's got enough chonk in its gun to make tanks not want to hang out where you can hit them if you can get them more than once. Originally Posted By HDSledge: Dang it I spent all my spare xp on getting the Bobject and now I want the manticore too. You guys are killin' me here. I will say that it's probably not for everyone.

You’re absolutely correct. I have sold three premiums as well. Most of them are well above 50% win rate. However I have a few that are at 45% and I had three that were at or below 25% win rate. I sold my E75 TS. Complete and utter garbage tank IMHO. Even if I “did well” it never bounced a single thing and every single game was a loss due to being perpetually stuck with muppets. I had a few tanks like in my tech tree. The grille15, kv4 and jpan2. All losses all the time. I literally don’t grind tanks anymore. If I play I’m in a prem...usually. Not always but usually. If WG wants to rebalance me I just stop playing. I was running a 65% win rate over the holiday ops. At the end I was running 50% and I was playing ultra try hard. Then I played 4 days ago and I went something like 3 for 11. Said fuck this and opened up my steam account and started playing games that have been collections digital dust. I honestly don’t have any intention of going back to this game for a good long while. I’m done with the bullshit. |

I’m done with the bullshit. I left and came back. My patience will wear thin again I'm sure. I kept my Grille out of fond memories of back when it was an autoloader. Those were the days. Still take it out often but it is certainly nothing like it used to be. My most fun tank ever was the Luchs but the introduction of the clown cars sort of ruined it's effectiveness. If I want beaucoup credits I jump into the SkorpG, which never fails me. I wish I could put some regular camo on it though. WOW on the Bobject. I love this thing now. You can muscle your way through or snipe and it takes the hits. But you can't be still. |

There are a bunch of tanks I cant win with - I run a good 5-10% below average WR for no reason. For instance, I do great in the T-29 and can't win to save my life in the T-30 - sub 40%. It's so brutally obvious when they start fucking with things. Spotting, accuracy, penetration, damage all go out the window. The latest for me is ultra low rolling damage so they have a couple hp left. One day it's all blowout wins, the next blowout losses. If they didn't so blatantly fuck with things the game would be a lot more enjoyable. I don't buy prem time or tanks anymore. Why pay to be abused? |

When you turn in match after match where you get a couple of kills, do top 5 damage on your team but still lose, lose lose something is wrong and it isn't simple statistical variation. My theory is that WG has to fuck with the results so shitters can have win streaks and keep the money flowing. |

My theory is that WG has to fuck with the results so shitters can have win streaks and keep the money flowing. Last night in my new Bobject I had repeated clear shots from ~200m at the side of an enemy turret since the noob was being insanely noobish. I let the aiming circle resolve, waited another 2 seconds, fired. In the dirt or over the turret. I fired 10 rounds in a row perfectly aimed and they all went wide. Now I know WG was f***ing with me. At least they don't do it every round. Previous games I was able to land and pen almost every shot. |

My theory is that WG has to fuck with the results so shitters can have win streaks and keep the money flowing. Last night in my new Bobject I had repeated clear shots from ~200m at the side of an enemy turret since the noob was being insanely noobish. I let the aiming circle resolve, waited another 2 seconds, fired. In the dirt or over the turret. I fired 10 rounds in a row perfectly aimed and they all went wide. Now I know WG was f***ing with me. At least they don't do it every round. Previous games I was able to land and pen almost every shot. So, lol, got the Bobject. Don't ask how much money I spent for it. I played 7 games...with the exception of a 0 dmg game, I averaged like 2800 dmg in the other 6 while also bouncing 2k+ hp. I also rolled like a 525-540hp shot one time.  It's pretty hilarious tank. |

Apparently my Borrasque is all but irreparably cursed and the Manticore is only going to win if I pull 6-7k combined with at least 3.5k damage.

Teams were bad enough that there was literally nothing I could do to consistently pull above 2k combined at Tier 8. Play aggressive, play passive, red line it, I absolutely could not predict what those morons were going to do so I could support or adjust effectively. Pure hell. |

The only way I get back up to 50% some days is hop in the old Pz II J or the Valentine. I feel dirty about it but if I don't finish the session at atleast a 50% WR it's a kick in the gut when the rest of the session stats look good. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Veccio: Yeah, it's extremely hard to get wins here lately at times. Lots of sub 1K WN8 players, hell a large portion are 500 and less with 40-45% WR all the way up in tier 10. There's just no predicting those players; some will beebop straight across the map in a super heavy to your base, or they will all yolo up in a lemming train, etc. It's just all over the place. The only way I get back up to 50% some days is hop in the old Pz II J or the Valentine.

I feel dirty about it but if I don't finish the session at atleast a 50% WR it's a kick in the gut when the rest of the session stats look good. I am still at ~54% for the past week and north of 56% over the past couple months and I am playing tanks that I know how to play effectively and mostly on maps that would normally allow me to do so. The remaining variable is the team around me, which yesterday was absolute garbage match after match after match. The one consistent thing I did notice was extremely poor scout play. I have known for a while that a good scout can turn a difficult match into a win but I may have underestimated the degree to which bad scouts can put you at a disadvantage. It's not just about having visibility, it's about having visibility in a space and place where you can do something with it. Wasn't happening yesterday. Constant scrambles to find workable positions and those tended to collapse faster than I could do any work. ETA: And 0 for fucking 6 this morning. |

Ouch.
This morning, I'm the muppet. Played a couple of horrible games in the 25t AP. Still trying to figure this thing out. It seems to be a 2nd tier scout / late game cleanup machine, but I seem to get a bit too aggressive with it in the scout role. And one game, I just picked a terrible position and got what I deserved in short order. |

Trade ins aren't all bad. I just traded the hunk of shit VK 168.01 that I got in some loot crate or something for an ELC Even90, for only 650 gold.

Last night the WOT overlords decided to give me round after round of terribad matchups in my new 268 v4. A few good players mixed with mostly new players. It was pure hell. When I switched over to my Grille it changed though. Do you suspect that they target particular tanks in their algorithms rather than players?
