Turn off Assault...

I don't mind Assault maps, just the idiots it attracts.

I have Assault n Encounter turned off but occasionally end up with Encounter when platooning with folks other than Munk and Ed who also have them turned off.

I quite like encounter on Redshire when I've played it.  Had a Tank company battle where my Hellcat tore up on there.

Yeah if you get the southern spawn Redshire is great. One of my fav maps in encounter.

Mine was North and I sat on top of the normal South campers hill popping in and out cleaning them up as they rushed to cap while our KV-1s loaded side went the long way around.

D-Max is lethal. gun depression so good, you can nearly shoot yourself.

Yeah.  Thinks it's been awful teams.  Had won win with four kills where I (luckily) ran into a platoon of my clanmates.

That was balanced with the battle I mentioned earlier where in a Tier VII battle the 5 kills from a Kv-1s and I were the only five kills the team had.

Only 5 battles in it though.

Dude, there's plenty of tier VI noobs.   Really shits me when I check out their records and they're plainly not up to the job that was required...

1st game 2nite.  Another defeat.

Similar to me. I crashed also in this game due to on going nvidia/wot issues. 6 crashes in 11 games.

did better with my StuG III

Good shooting FT...

BP has just ticked over a 1,000 kills...

It may be pig slow...and the T4 Matilda may be a better tank (an absolute killer in T4 only battles for instance)...but the BP crew has just too much investment to quit...I love how she plays similar to a heavy - but is more versatile and without the pressure....her MG cannon also needs to be respected too.

I heading down the medium British tree myself as I'm really enjoying med tanks.

Rome II has been largely panned by most of the fans of the series, I'll wait for the bugs to be fixed and buy it in a years time. It's been dumbed down.

Is it the bugs or game play? I'm gutted as I love the TW series. I've finally managed to get Shogun II crash free, two years after it was released but at least it's working.

Latest gold noob tank addition!

Rammy!  After a very inauspicious begginning...starting to grow fond of it now...

She plays like a speedy (got to know when to use this right) Black Prince...but with a slightly poorer gun...

...and mine.  We're getting on better now.  Oddly if I top damage she loses.  If I go full potato we win.

So how is that RAM working out for you :-)

Whats that coming over the hill ? Is it a Stevo?

poor guy just had to run into the 3 of us -we all hit him as well

Yeah, wot a flipping disaster.  Congrats on the good shooting...my worst wot weakness..."the rush of blood"...  Thought my guys to the right of me would have spotted you...but with all your TD skills/equipment etc...you would have been still way out of range...never even saw you guys - even when you were giving it to me...I noobed it.

First night stats...

Great run of luck....Went on a 16-2 run to finish!  Badge: "1st class".  Need "Ace Tanker" so bad.  Damage is picking up (averaging 470 per game)...especially since the first 10 games were something of a disaster...gunner and loader trained to 100% (skill: 64% repairs)...the rest 95% trained...obviously, need to survive better...T7 battles!  Relearning how to scout again...Speed is good - but it can kill - as you witnessed...equipment: running vents, rammer, laying drive...would love to put in binos and/or toolbox...but what can you do?

Great stats -The Ram II can be quite awesome in the right matches - the 57mm machine gun o'death -it will help you learn the weakspots on T6 and T7s .

Im just using the Standard setup -no mods, caps were taken in sniper mode

Your sig appears to have an error Munk.

it doesnt appear to recognise Ive left PBLAC -Im sure it will catch up, unless you mean the win rate over the 7 days.. possibly statiscally true, maybe not morally

Nah.  Meant the tag.  We've all got our padded win-rate to look sheepish about.  I just can't use my sig due to poor WN7.

I have found a new hobby.  Going brawling in the T40.  Yesterday i went to the north valley on Pearl River and cleaned up five Tier 4s.  Today it was a KV and a T1 heavy in Severogorsk.  KV in the rivrbed and the T1 I charged, put shots in him and killed him with a ram.

Suspect my life expectancy will be down but i have survived both.

There are a few trams here in Melbourne with World of Tanks advertising all over them. Quite cool. Tried to get a picture, but to much traffic in the way.

They are pushing hard in Aus and threatening a dedicated ANZ server.

Rammy.  Went bloody nuts to begin with tonight.  Scored 27 kills in her first 13 outings (was averaging over 650 in damage).  Then decided to celebrate with new markings.  

Bad idea...went a bit downhill after that.................

Absolutely appalling tonight, some of these tier VI and VII "team mates"...good grief.

Easier said than done when your tVi and vii mates are mongs and you're exploding.

I just had a team of Tier III mongs on my alt.

Bought an S-85b on hardnews.  75% win rate after 12 battles soloing.  Halfway to an Su-85. 

If I had premium on it I'd probably be there almost.

Win rate, XP, in fact everything, collapsing...Tier VII stuff = me exploding...

But must have come so close to "Ace Tanker"...hit ally 'lazywolf' with the last shot of the battle (-28XP, ended with XP=969):

Tier V battles, in urban environments (especially), and used aggressively, a great 'finisher', so worthy of the title "DEVASTATOR":

But in T6/7 battles, what to do?

The height of my T7 frustrations:

I could only put it down to their cowardly noobness...frustrating...even a mong knows that the hill has to be taken otherwise you're flanked...which of course we were with ease...it ended up in something like a 3-15 raping...

Some bloke is famous. Around the 39 minute mark.

.

8550 potential damage to that Matilda.  Fuck me.

Grats Monk, just watched the Jingles video.
