Is there a PH clan? I'm sick of playing with idiots charging with TD (StuG) or 'bottom of the board abusers' filling the chat with drivel and swearing when they've done absolutely nothing other than die in 10 seconds.

Type 4 is getting an armour nerf. tbh it already is pretty poor overall for its speed
It is bloody awful and I'm still about 150K away from a Type 5.
IKR...

My win rate is now slowly creeping up since I got the 15cm but its pretty poor and for something thats supposed to be a beast its really easy for tier 10's to slaughter.

Glad I spent on the derp though, a type 5 with the 14cm is a pathetic creature.

After some time away from the game I've really enjoyed playing again this week. I've been smashing the M55 grind to unlock the T92, only 40k xp left to go! The bonus that WG have knocked 20% off tier Xs purchase price makes it even closer. Fingers crossed I'll be wrecking with it by Tuesday night.

Keeping the M55 for sure though, only time I get hate mail these days (from other SPGs).

Uninstall

To be fair, I'll be fking uninstalling if they don't patch this mess soon, update 3.9 has completely broken my game.

TD15 I found was ok ISU-152 boom boom boom... biggrin
I figured this was probably the best course.
Took a while, what with only playing for the x2's, but got there in the end. On to the T-55A.

There is, "VBRJ", but to be fair we don't really do much as a clan beyond having a bit of chat in the garage window. It's mainly to get the PH logo on your tank.

9.20 is bringing the new 30vs30 game mode, which is all tier 10 tanks. With all the HP available the TD-15, MT-15 and HT-15 missions are hopefully going to be a little easier.

Some of the personal missions, like the LT one mentioned, are also meant to be being reworked to reflect the fact that the matchmaking and SPG changes of late have made them much less likely. I thought they already had, but if that 3 SPG mission is still around then it needs another look at. Worst thing I found with the PM's was that some of them are literally impossible when the MM consistently doesn't give you the right tanks on the enemy team.

Since they've got some new nations now, I tried this again after a couple of years. It didn't take long to remind me what a joyless grind the game is. One blow out game after another with very little difference between tanks of the same class and they still haven't removed arty.

I'd love to know what percentage of new players gives up at tier 1 or 2. I think it's extremely high. They've also removed the decent Province map and replaced it with Mittengard, which is a complete joke. I guess they wanted games over in 3 minutes instead of 15, which Province often took.

Whether you have good games or not is so annoyingly dependant upon whether youre stock.
I hated my type 58 for most of the time, but just before i got the t34-1 i started to love it. got a 1 mark on it.
Now ive got the t34-1 and its absolute st again. With the tier 6 gun, i cant pen anything same tier or higher unless its a perfectly flat side. And thats if i hit them.. the dispersion is st!
Why even have stock guns if they are useless...?
Grr
And then to top it off, i got a game where i was top tier and the first shot i took ammo racked me.. frown
ETA and the turret, which on paper is strong and cant be penned by the T34-1s top gun, seems to be paper to everything, im not sure ive bounced anything with it yet, in 3 games..

Yep it's very random.

My t54 I can snapshot someone peeking from 400m or miss a fully aimed shot at 50..

My type 4 I can bounce 5k easy or never bounce a shoot and be dead in no time

Yep Rng really decides whether you have fun or not. I think now I just know when to play something else if I'm having a bad session rather than forcing it. Playing in a platoon definitely makes it more enjoyable, so you can share in the rage haha.

Speaking of which, does anyone fancy playing in a platoon one day soon? Ive played 2500 battles, none of which have been in a platoon.
Im above average, but my highest tier is 8..

That's the HT missions for the T55A done.

Not a big fan of the Type 4 but just occasionally it works very well indeed.
