medicjim86 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You know, if you see me in game, you have permission to say Hi. *Looks at Medic, Garand, and Moran* If I see you in game, I'll send you a platoon invite... did our paths cross (I missed it)?
Fritz Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You know, if you see me in game, you have permission to say Hi. *Looks at Medic, Garand, and Moran* What is your current in-game name and when do you play?
seahawk Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Lost 2 assault games because morons and turned off assault. Won next two normal games. No fewer morons but I made it work. Now look at this T6 game and tell me what's wrong. You only won because you were throwing HEAT? BTW, got the M48A1. That's 11 end tier tanks for me. Now to grind the Leopard 1 BTW, the Bat Chat 155mm wasn't nerfed--it was neutered. 66 second reload with BIA, and no way to decrease it because vents got removed. Zooming is slower than the 261, turret traverse was hammered, and all that nerfing for a tier 8 arty that hits like a Hummel. I might actually sell it. Hope the scrubs are happy. Telll me about M48, I have it researched but thought that the E50M would be a better buy.
snafu_72 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I drive a T-34 and a T-34-85. I've seen the T34 up close (not for long though). The new entry into WoT the Type T-34 has me confused. Why did one number series have so many variants although it seems they all were Soviet or Communist country tanks?
Mistral Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 My new favorite? Hetzer, got ace tanker in first game ever with a 75% crew but a fully upgrated vehicle. Its more fun than the marder. Win rate is almost 70%. Just had a game woth 7 kills all one shot. Could do with a bit more arc of fire but you can not have everything can you?
Marek Tucan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 T34 is American. T-34 and T-34-85 are in real life very different. Type T-34 is a Chinese rip-off. Or did I misread you? Also add Type 58, a copy of T-34/85; And then there is T-34-1 and T-34-2, tanks that are kind of "Chinese T-34/44/54" mixup.

Yeah, I see you guys every once in a while and give a wave. I'm usually in a platoon when I'm on in the evenings, and if we have a spot, I'll shoot you guys an invite. I'm ieatcookies from Anvil BTW, just reached 58% winrate. Huzzah! edit: My stats-- Edited January 21, 2013 by FlyingCanOpener
Fritz Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Not fair. I have more avg eff and am still at pathetic 56%. But I do play very little compared to you.
Marek Tucan Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 In that case... Think I should start playing higher tiers more to get the damage up And also may try to stay alive longer
Fritz Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I'm a noob with my eff and wns ratings .... Your 60 day ratings are great, nothing to worry about. Also, "eff rating" is kinda obsolete and the WIN rating is currently the latest fad and supposedly more accurate. Edited January 21, 2013 by Fritz
jwduquette1 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 you guys have any opinions about all the WoT forum rage about 105mm HEAT? Over-powered -- not over-powered?
FlyingCanOpener Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 WN5 is slightly less able to be abused, and is the current "best" method of evaluating performance. In our forum we had a rather, erm, robust discussion, and the problem is that no matter how you slice it, the formula is able to be abused, mainly because you can't normalise things for platoons, tiers, kill shot damage, premium round usage, etc. through the data feed. If we could normalize the stats we could then work on a formula to objectively assess player performance. Since it won't happen because Wargaming refuses to release detailed metrics for players and battles, we're stuck trying to use flawed data to try to objectively assess players. Having said that, if a player has poor efficiency, more than likely us here would roll them even with an underpowered tank.
RIPper Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 you guys have any opinions about all the WoT forum rage about 105mm HEAT? Over-powered -- not over-powered? The performance is amazing (I play it in M4 and it's a death star). The main issue I see is that you can be profitable with it - gold ammo should earn less than the damage it causes.

I've come to the conclusion that at the end of the day the only stat that matters is win %. All other stats might explain how you achieved your win % but they are only secondary.
Max H Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Yep, they're bad & I feel bad. Mostly improving though, which is nice
Skywalkre Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 you guys have any opinions about all the WoT forum rage about 105mm HEAT? Over-powered -- not over-powered?There isn't much debate. It's extremely overpowered. The fact they haven't done anything to address it is perplexing (maybe this is the only way SerB can win at the game).
Skywalkre Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Never platooned. Way too many low tier games on a standard account. Guess I should be happy. I'm not. Missed out on 2 dailies today because the dipshits were out in force. Ooc, how come it doesn't show any hx like it does for the rest of you?
Skywalkre Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Btw, getting real tired of mouthbreathers defending their bad play with "it's just a game" or something along those lines. No shit. I get on to have fun. When idiots do stupid things and die early, leaving the rest of us outgunned and in a bad spot, that ruins my fun. People have a hard time realizing there's 14 other people on their team. If you go afk, if you run out ahead of everyone and die, if you sit in the back and don't fight, etc. you're making it that much harder on the other 14 players. They shouldn't have to suffer so you can enjoy your bizarre idea of fun. If you want to be stupid go load up a single-player game. Edited January 22, 2013 by Skywalkre

If you just looked up your stats for the first time, the site will start tracking you from now on and over time the averages will come up. Right now you can only see the current stats. I just got 2 losses and then 3 wins in the M4. First two were T7 games where I could not make a difference at all (when half the tanks are T7 it's real hard not to ever get hit when your gun is super inaccurate and aims forever), next 3 were T5 games where I dominated easily. Last one was hilarous as there was a second gold derp M4 and we were one-shooting everything in turns. Edited January 22, 2013 by Fritz
