Leave Challengers to me.
So this is like WoT in that its based on a health bar?
>>125815373
Type 59 has a decent armor, good mobility, but poor firepower compared to T-62.
Fun tank, thanks Obsidian.
>>125849267
Yeah, except it's pretty balanced.
I haven't tried Armored Warfare at all.
As a former WoT player, what should I expect?
>>125852216
I enjoyed AW than WoT t b h with you.
I guess you should expect a fairer balance but with a dead server.
>>125852371
Hmm, I guess I'll have to see for myself, then.
And how dead are we talking?
>>125852661
NA West at prime time at best.
>>125852729
Well, that's not too dead, then. You want dead, WoWS NA is more dead than that.
Alright, guess I'll hop on and try my hand at it.
>>125852661
I usually play in the evening (GMT +8). 6v6 to 8v8 PVP matches are pretty common specially on tier 5 and 6.
It's a pain in the ass how a T-72A gets matched with Abrams, Leo 2s, and T-90s.
>>125852984
I hear there's PvE. As a new player, should I start in PvE or go straight to PvP?
>>125853552
You'll do fine on PVP. Players do PVE because of daily cash bonuses, but gives shit XP.
The game also has the "Base" feature, basically, it's a section where you can see your base and buildings that gives bonuses like currency and xp bonuses; discount on repairs and etc.
>>125853840
Alright then. As a former medium tank player, I'm guessing I'll do fine in MBTs, then?
>>125855242
of course mang
Do Shitski's light tanks even have a fucking place in this game? I'm talking about the Scorpion line. So far I've noticed:
>Not enough DPS to solo enemy AFVs
>Not enough camo to bush snipe
>Not enough mobility to circle MBTs
>Gets spotted by everything in general
>0 armor
>Can barely out-spot enemy MBTs
>Gets BTFO by enemy TDs
So what the fuck is the point of playing a light tank if every single function is performed better by some other class of tank?
One has to wonder how OE fucked this up so badly
>>125857517
How? lol
>>125857561
If a tank has 2 loaders then it can get up to 85% reload reduction through crew skill boosts. One of the consequences of this is that now we have artillery with 3 second reloads.
Some videos of this in full effect were posted here:
>>125835829
>>125837471
If you have artillery and the modules for it abuse it while you can because it's absolutely hilarious
>>125857762
I'm in fucking love
About to unlock that arty line.
Do you have maxed modules?
>>125858103
Yes
I wouldn't expect it to stay though I've heard rumors that they're working on a hotfix
>>125857762
>NTR
It's still alive? Thought you fags died a long time ago.That's why I left it.

Maybe I'll stop by once I get to playing, then.
Well, played a little bit of PvE, got a Patton, and delivered freedom to some bots.
So, thinking about going down the MBTs now. Which MBT lines do you guys think I should go for?
Is there anything one can do against the T-80 with a BMD-2 aside for circling around and missiles up the ass?
>>125855242
medium tanks in wot are light tanks in AW
mbts are the heavies in wot
>>125864204
murica for all around jack of trades. watch out for the starship
>>125868871
rain HE-ll
why does it take obsidian half a decade to send me my 24gb hd client?
I sure as heck don't have aussie tier internet.
boy, people joke about wot being dead and that general actually gets posts, but AW, shoot, it's like it weren't ever alive
the people that play this game end up being more retarded than your average siema
what gives?
>>125876582
Never even tried HE, always HEAT or whatever the fuck is that basic starting munition. Recently got into the missiles though, they're cool but seem to have shit all for pen against anything beyond the T55
>>125877774
I only remembered this game exists because I've seen some news saying you get a type-59 if you log in now.
Which I did, then promptly uninstalled.
>>125856604
I liked the scorpion and the bagel in that line and they are basically afvs with no view range. The stings are complete trash and the mbts are too good at t8/t9 for the xm8/m8 to shine like they should.
As long as obsidian thinks mbts should be frontally impenetrable retard proof vehicles that go 60km/hr, lts will never be useful.
>>125887007
Also, it's probably never going to happen because the developers listen to gatortribe and his band of shitters who think mbts need to stay impenetrable frontally, yet somehow not be reduced to cupola sniping
>>125835829
What is it they changed to lower reload that much?
>>125888191
Retrofits now work and are additive. Plus most artillery have 2x loaders which doubles it.
>>125857762
>women
>handling 155mm shells
I can't put into words how horrible the Bradley is.
Its 'pretty good at killing afvs'- gimmick doesn't work when every other afv can spot it from miles away and rape its ass.
>>125895551
I'm still not sure why people are confused by the Bradley. It does the same thing all the other AFVs do, lose to MBTs and lights. It's the exact same vehicle as the BMP-3 except you get better armor and APS.
What exactly are people being outspotted by? VBLs? No shit, it has the best viewrange in the game, everything gets outspotted by VBLs.
the t54 is pretty ridiculous
>>125859462
Well, shit, you're right. It lives.
Which is better, the Britbong or Ruskie MBT line? Is it worth suffering through playing arty for the commanders?
>>125899208
Ruskie, they look awesome
>tfw being the only tier 2 in a Tier 3-4 match
>>125899208
Also, which retrofit is overall more useful, the intercom or experimental propellant?
>>125901239
Since this patched it, intercom. Experimental propellant is rarely worth equipping.
>Having to block damage in order to get the Challenger line
Well, how in the hell am I gonna do that? Hop on to a T-54 and hope for the best?
>>125906147
Just play T series tanks yes. You'll have Chieftain unlocked before you get the T-64 probably.
>>125815373
I don´t know if those ICE-vehicles are a good idea. I bought the T-72 ICE and it makes great cash, but having premium vehicles that are fully upgraded versions of regular tanks is kinda shitty. It seems like a ptw-concept.
>>125907180
It's complete powercreep. Can't wait to buy union jack camo Challenger I premium for britbong day.
>>125907306
Holy fuck, would they really do this? Probably yes since it would earn them a fuckton of cash.
How does increased crew skill work? If I take the commander with +10% how does that affect reload speed for example?
>>125912349
10% faster.

BADGR won the NA Tourney
>>125923652
I watched a couple matches of that. Did badgr have a strategy other than 'camp your base til the enemy gets bored and suicides or the game draws'?
>>125919474
I MEAN COME ON!
>>125917992
Good, keeps the Br's away from me while I play with my virtual tanks.
So far, I'm having fun.
>tfw getting to the Leo 2AV after the 1A5
jesus christ I can actually bounce hits finally
>>125883445
if you're using auto cannons, he is for firing at the front of mbts (or sides if you still cant pen them)
>>125907180
how good is it anon?
i was deciding if I should get that or just BH the chally 1 because it costs almost the same
>>125899208
If you want a quick pain in the ass, then go Britbong, otherwise go Vodka.
it takes like six hours to get 75 posts, and doubtless most of those are from one person
>>125927416
Well they did something right if they won.
