You can't, I meant to say Random Battles in the E 75 griefing grind part

Oh, lol. I was imaging a Maus race for a bit there

I'm baaaaaaack

Update on my "griefing" got called an bot for playing 2nd line defense in a tier 10 fight. Seriously, what's wrong with playing defensively on a open flank at tier 10? I'm filing this under sinking ship rage.

Nah there's just v some really dumb players. I've been pushed out of cover in my t34 by tier tens because they wanted me to push

I'm baaaaaaack

Isn't the T34 that prem American heavy that fires ones every fifteen seconds?

Yes, not sure about the reload though. I'll check kind in a sec

I'm baaaaaaack

The T34 has the final gun of the T28 Prot. so it has to have other weaknesses for balance. Hence the slow rate of fire.

I'm reading this because it's interesting. I think. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over.

Wasn't the Chaffee racing like a weekend event over a week ago? Did they extend it or was my info wrong?

Info is wrong.

yea i think they changed it. it's ending on monday now.

I'm baaaaaaack

I probably just got to play that race mode 10 times at most, due to internet issues.

I'm a bit torn if I even should research the last engine on the Ferdinand. On the one hand, it's very slow. On the other hand I could save 30'000 xp and I'm doing fine so far.

I'm also expecting a lot of TO Gs in the future.

As a rule, it's better to research engines and the like on former tanks than leaving them for latter ones, unless the former ones are horrid things like the Lee.

I know. But the Jagdtiger uses different engines entirely.

And how dare you bad-mouthing the Lee!

I'm badmouthing the Lee because I'm used to playing TDs (which is what this thing is) and I still think it's fucking horrid.

Anyone else being fucked over by 9.3's afk/inaction system? Because I am. 5 out of 5 bar on my Wi-Fi, I log in with hardly any problems, nothing else is running. I join a fight on USW (the closest sever to me) I get to the roster where it fails to load, and I get the "kicked from server" message, log back in, only to get the penalty.

Hasn't hurt me at all yet

I'm baaaaaaack

So I had probably my strangest Ace badge game in my T32 today. I almost got stuck cliff diving an IS-6, a Pershing tries to cliff dive me and gets killed so now I'm sandwiched, and then a Tortoise helps me get out. I round a corner to find an ISU-152 with the dreaded BL-10 staring right me, who proceeds to shoot HE at me... twice. To cap it all off, I almost get killed by a Walker Bulldog who I'm 90% sure was a bot.

I remembered being the only tier 10 heavy (IS-7) in Tundra. Then I had to contend with a Maus with a supporting WT E-100...The dreaded TD unloaded his full clip of...HE. We won, although I still didn't survive (but obviously I survived longer because it was HE) because we're really at a disadvantage at that side (my support was an IS-3 lol).

Who the hell shoots HE at an IS 7?

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

KV-2s, on the freakish occaisons where it meets them. Artillery.

Sensible, direct-fire weapons? Nope, none.

Should've checked the list.

Yes, once. I was trying to enter a battle and it wouldn't load. Had to restart the game only to see how I got killed. Since I didn't do anything in the battle I got the afk/inaction warning.

I blame the micro-patch, personally. And judging from the NA forums, I'm not the only one. At this very moment, I'm logged into a battle with my T82 and o the roster screen, and the orange bar is at 7%. 3 minutes and counting... tanks dying, still not logged in... Several MORE minutes, got disconnected and the AFK penalty

Tried again a few minutes later, lost 4 minutes of the fight, and it was almost over.

Sounds like they fubarred some connection protocol of some sort.

Who watches the watchmen?

Makes you wonder when the next micro-patch that'll fix this will be...
