Yeah, I'm using them to replace my B1 and M41 crews, and kickstart my French T Ds and American vehicles.

Let's see, first the credit-farming missions, now the USA/U.S.S.R/France crew-training mode. Is there an new wave of vehicles coming out soon?

Say, Rabid Tanker, what do you record with? I've got a friend I want to show some games to, but he doesn't have the client so I can't just send him a replay.

So. I got me an ELC AMX on sunday. Fun little machine. The wierd thing is, I get more average exp in it than with my Stug III or Panzer IV. Yet my win rate with it is a terrible 46% (after 80 battles) while the other's have a WR of 54%. My brother, who gets less average exp then me has a whopping 59% WR in the ELC. >.<

More experience because you're fighting higher-tiered enemies. Exp is scaled to the tier of the targets, I think.

Should've checked the list.

Doesn't explain my brother's great success in it despite getting less xp. He basically suicide scouts with it and get's a 60% WR. Is that the trick?. Should I suicide scout and make a sacrifize for the team?

You need at least several hundred games in a tank for your w/r in it represents your contribution.

Suicide scouting is usually just that, suicide. Especially early game. Unless you spot all their arty and they're taken out, it's almost pointless. You see where they are early game, doesn't help out much in pubs. Most of the other players won't even pay attention to the map anyways

Once in a blue moon suicide scouting is useful, but that's rare. Be active, spot things, or just find a nice bush somewhere out in front, but you need to keep spotting things and you do that much better alive than dead. You can also hurt things pretty reliably, once you get the 90mm.

In general, if sui-scouting is literally all he does, then I'd say he as a 60% WR in spite of his performance.

Should've checked the list.

LOL I have a 46% W/R on the ELC AMX, after 363 battles.

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

As I said. I'm not bad with it. I'm in the top five of my team regularly. And most importantly I have lots of fun with it. It's just a bit ironic that of all the tanks in my garage, the one that is the most fun to drive has the worst WR. I just don't want to be the guy who does everything wrong for the team and only satisfies himself.

Let it be known that I used the free version of Bandicam to reord my replays an post them on You Tube after an hour of loading. The only problem with the free version is that the limit is 10 minutes.

So I'm kinda close to buying an IS-3, but considering how often I kill their drivers and overmatch their turret roofs, how can I reliably deflect shots with it?

Also forgot to post this

Pray for me, reinstalling the game to see how it runs on my new system.

[up] I thought we've been over why the game's elite hate that class...

But yeah, this game is dying in a certain sense. I was looking forward to an PvE mode rather than just some minor variation of an 15 vs. 15 team match. Why not an escort an convoy mode without artillery? Less corridor maps? (Seriously, Stalingrad is an flattened out version of an existing map if you look at it hard enough.)

Only got to play 8-bit once. Then the lag spikes started towards the end, when I was about to die anyway. Oh well, no improvement for my ISP whatsoever.

Nah, got out-damaged by a Waffletractor. Hell, I only got First Class in that game. But I think the whole replay was worth it just for getting to team up with that 12t and embarrass an E25.

Should've checked the list.

Argh. Stuck with the last heavy tank mission for the Stu G IV. sad I guess I first need to get the E 75 before managing to finish it.

Not bothering with the rest of the non-8bit tank missions. Gonna hit the Winter Mode hard until it ends, thanks. Can you say... ubercrew? I'm on my second skill in the Mammoth, but some of the Wot Labs regulars are reporting that they're on their fourth skill now. Sheesh.

The Polar Bear crew is next. Not even going to try for 3 skills.

[up][up]Good luck with that, mines always gets raped by an medium, gets outgunned by an tier X TD or the team just dies within seconds

It's a bit annoying that you need a tier 9 or 10 vehicle to gain a tier 5 one. :/ Especially since all missions leading up to the last one are duable in lower tier vehicles. And so is the last one of the mediums. One-shoting two T82 in my Panzer IV H was the easiest last mission by a large margin. The last one of the artillery is quite doable as well with tier 7 or 8. The TD and heavies require an end tier vehicle and the last one of the lights requires a high tier vehicle, an open map, no other scouts, a team of campers and luck.
