Circ is pretty cool.

Have you watched his dream team vids yet? Those are hilarious.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Currently watching the "tank company mk2" series. going to start episode 2.

edit : turns out it's exactly what you were talking about

[Harmony Ltd.]

Okay, seriously, my face is hurting because of too much sustained smiling and laughing.

[RoboRed]

If you want a REALLY good laugh, watch his ELC and Pz1C vids. You will laugh yourself into a coma.

[Harmony Ltd.]

ELC, I think I know the vid you're talking about.

[RoboRed]

There's several of them.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Gotcha. Just watched "ELC project 1", gonna see the next ones.

I was thinking about that video where they totally troll drive on Malinovka in an ELC platoon, which is the one that got me interested in the thing in the first place.

[hawkeye92]

I need three victories in heavy tanks, so I switch to the pz B2, the tank with the highest efficiency I have. Easy right?
WRONG!

My teamates are morons and bots and all the enemies spam gold like crazy, just like their counterparts fighting my Maus (which ironically makes it more vulnerable than other tanks because people switch to gold by default instead of chancing it).

So yeah, tonight went from good to terrible and I can pin it right on when I decided to platoon with a VK4502 driver. Who admittedly has a 54% winrate in it but since we lost a dozen games in a row we chalked that up to luck. Since then everything has gone to crap.

[Harmony Ltd.]

I fought the Löwe, and the Löwe won

[hawkeye92]

Turns out if you quit to garage before you die in a game you get your XP ripped apart. So being a TOG on a fast moving exclusively tier 7 game really sucks because when the team is winning with eight tanks left to two spotted enemies on the other corner of the map you can't quit to your garage.

I know it's to penalise people who ragequit at the beginning of the game becaus of hurr stats but they're unlikely to make any xp anyway.

My B2 still sucks today. Run into every enemy tier 4 TD who instantly go out of their way to kill you and/or your temates are morons. Haven't have a single good game in the tank which actually got to efficiency ten once, which is now a dim and distant memory.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Maybe you should invest in a real B1 instead ? :v

[hawkeye92]

Yeah that's a lot worse. With the pz B2 you get a slightly worse gun but tier four max enemies. With dirt cheap gold ammo you make profit on even if your team loses horribly. Which admittedly it needs to penetrate a LOT of tier four tanks from the front but it is normally a beast of a tank where you only hav to look out for a relatively small number of enemies.
Kinda like the Valentine 2.
But it's just today the games have sucked.

[Vergil]

Komarin's still bad.

[RoboRed]

Too bad...I was looking forward to it.

Well, I went through Swamp already in the test server. I still have yet to go through Tundra and the new Serene Coast.

[Harmony Ltd.]

I have gone through Serene Coast only once thus far.

Admittedly, I haven't played in a week and a half.

[Vergil]

Serene Tunnel is okay now, the only problem is that everyone lemmings to the east at the moment. I assume that will get better eventually.

Swamp was never bad, games just always took a while. It's awesome now.

Tundra is okay, but my experience thus far is limited. All useful combat happens on the east side of the map by the hill.

[RoboRed]

Kinda of expected, everyone wants to be king of the hill. And the hill is important to control.

[Harmony Ltd.]

[insert propane joke]

[RoboRed]

*sigh* I was hoping for some decent matches, but all the bads are out today for some reason.

In their place if I had the necessary steel plates, I'd try to add at least one layer of spaced armour at least to the front, and on the sides as well. Ideally, two layers of spaced armor, only 5mm steel plates each separated by 8-10 centimeters of empty space, just to break the force of impact of bullets before they hit the real armor (seems like it's around 15-20mm thick), and for RPGs to prematurely explode.

[hawkeye92]

I've seen the Centurion overhaul episode before, it was really good. I've also spoken to a veteran who drove the Centurion in West Germany.
He also managed to spectacularly destroy one of them as well by accident.

[Harmony Ltd.]

"Trust me, I'm a professional."

[Harmony Ltd.]

Mostly off-topic, but I thought this might interest some people : mass of steel plates per unit of surface per thickness.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Man, now I feel the need to experiment with composite armor design IRL. [*]

Already got a few designs idea.


[*] against small arm fire

[Harmony Ltd.]

Lol, first match with the BT-7, completely stock.

Class 1 mastery with just over a thousand XP.

I don't know what this says about the average skill of the low-tier Russian player
