They'd probably just bought them. I imagine it takes some getting used to if you haven't played the KV-4.

Tell me about it. laugh Try playing a stock tier 9 where they deliberately put you in a team of utter retards.

Bots, AFKers, lots of suiciders when losing - I've seen it all. My WZ-111 1-4 heavy tank was shot in the back by an Object 704 yesterday for "not doing my job", i.e spotting for him. The fact that there was just us two and a E100 holding an entire flank seemed to have escaped this retard.

Mines is too small for high tiers and they don't seem to want to fix the biased access to the hill.

I think the worst map is Cliff, especially when there's artillery, because nowhere is safe. Plus if you're coming from the north spawn, the other team can rush the ridge and shoot you as you come up.

Interesting video from QB about a gaming charity which he is splitting his charity livestream money to, in a split with Cancer Research UK. Last year he raised $22,000 - good on him.

I did a few game with George today, the "fking spackers" or whoever he was playing with last night must have followed him because the match quality was very variable. Still, it was another small amount chipped off my CGC grind, I think I've got about 510,000xp or so to go until I get that tier 10, I'm averaging about 1000xp a game, maybe slightly more, but it's still something like 450 games depending on how big the grind sessions are and how many doubles I use. st the fking bed, how many hours do we sink into this game?

I also killed my first Maus last night, nailed him on Sand River night with my JPE-100, 3 rounds in the turret cheeks, he must have been raging. He just couldn't get away, couldn't put one through my superstructure and and just hit the cruise and tried to shake his turret around to put me off, but it didn't work, the troll was absent and the JPE ruined him.

I killed a Maus as well - with the T30. Shot him twice in the turret cheeks and then one to the lower plate.

I felt quite bad about it later & a bit of a bully. The poor guy had only played 1,422 games, half of them with the Lowe. He'd gone straight up the German tree directly to the Maus and had a 39% overall win rate.

Something that pisses me off about this game. Im shooting at a su-100 in my m6 , reasonable range, both firing at each other, he just fking vanishes. how? how the fk does that happen. He hasnt moved, or stopped shooting its like some mind ray or something. No cover , nothing.

His camouflage net probably kicked in and he re-stealthed.

The Stug III can dematerialise better than any Romulan Warbird. wink

It's basically your tank's 350m view range vs the SU-100's camo value, unless you're within 50 meters when you'll automatically proxy spot them. Tank destroyers & arty are usually pretty stealthy anyway, which is of course increased if they have camo paint, camo net, camo crew skills, lurk behind a bush etc. He should have lost that camo value upon firing. He probably had one of the smaller guns. The 122mm would have lit him up like a Christmas tree.

If you have coated optics or binoculars you'll burn through those defences from further away than if you don't.

They are going to revamp it apparently. So no longer will a tank driving across an open field suddenly disappear into thin air.

Yeah, it's like the render range limit; A limitation of the Big World engine it seems. They'll be moving to the Havok one eventually.

Does the crew skill 'Snap Shot' (improved accuracy during turret rotation work on arty? or vehicles with proper turrets only?

It works on all vehicles, but it is the most ridiculous "skill". I got snap shotted twice yesterday by the same IS-3. Why even bother to aim when you can whirl around and bend the shell in like the assassins' guild in Wanted.

Heck you try firing an IS-3 without fully aiming. It'll either screw into the dirt or vanish into thin air.

Anyone watching the Quickybaby charity livestream? Someone was talking about him raging on his stream, he's just been arguing with his fiance for donking out. They were in an IS-6 platoon, and apparently she didn't know how to play at that level and QB and his regular platoon mate got weighed down by trying to rescue Peppy, and QB had a proper strop, turned to Peppy who is sitting just off cam and gave him a stern word about why you can't just buy someone a tier 8 premium and expect them not to drag the team down.

The drama makes it worth watching hehe

lol thats a bit harsh having a pop at Peppy, mind you I'm sure she can give as good as she gets. Good on him doing the charity stream though, £8400 so far when I checked.

The guy is a fking cock. I fully understand why Circon hates his guts. Watch his stream from 18 Dec and go to 4:30:55. Ik starts telling a story about a friend of his and QB just talks right over the top of him about his crappy gameplay and ignores everything he says. Ik starts to tell the story again around 3 mins later at the start of a new match and QB does exactly the same thing again. Proper ignorant he is, all "me! me! me!". Peppy should've told him to fk OFF!

Yeah, what a fking knob he is, raising all that money for charity and taking the game seriously.
