you're pretty much gonna get the do your own hitpoint in damage almost every game

You'd be surprised. My friend I play with struggles to deal half of his hp in damage most games and he's a 52% player. Just because the better players manage to do it almost every game (since they're carrying) doesn't mean others can follow suit.

Loving my OBJ 430 now. I have a good crew in it (working on 3rd skill), including full BIA. With Food and BIA, my reload is 5.02 seconds :D

So, I never owned a KV1S before this patch. Had a string of bad games with donkey teams, so I decided I wanted to try something new and derpy. Spent some free XP on the KV1S with the DERP gun. Since I was in a bad mood, loaded full HEAT. Decided to see how balanced it was.

10 kills. More damage than the rest of my team COMBINED. Still lost from cap though (can't get anything but donkey teams apparently).

Great job rebalancing the KV1S! /sarcasm

Damn. Nice game.

Well, at least people have to buy the HEAT rounds this time around instead of regular HE ones. Except for those who have the coin to burn.

Yeah I played a few more games only using HE. Didn't have nearly the impact on the game because it didn't do enough against equal tiers.

So the KV1S will probably be a tank I'll only play when I'm really frustrated and feel like being a jerk and taking it out on everyone with HEAT :p

I also maybe should have won it at the end but I missed some shots. Also, if I had the best engine (with 100 more HP), I maybe could have got back in time.

Yeah yesterday started out nice. 11 wins 5 losses. Then I got my Pools medal, which was a loss. I should have stopped there. When you lose even when you get a Pool's I think the game is trying to tell you something :p.

Played close to 40 games and ended up with a 51 percent :/

My OBJ 430 reload is down to 5.06 with food. Expensive to run but fun.

Edit: Heh, just did the calculations. With a 5.06 second reload, my DPM for the OBJ 430 is 3794!

yep i don't get why people lemming one side, and they're always on my team....
i pretty much go with them but hang in the back so i can reset/spot cap when the other team eventually gets to our cap unopposed.

the funny thing is even if 13 of our guys go 1 flank and 2 of us are holding off the other side against 7 tanks, our lemming train always LOSES.......

Nice. That's a good win percentage over 58 games. I usually accomplish that over about 15 games, and then it always seems to go downhill. Whenever I play around 50 games I end up with a 50 percent.

Think I have 3 Marks of Excellence. SU-100Y (which is close to a second MoE), WZ 111 1-4, and JT 8.8

i was able to carry a 3300 wn8 for a little over 15 games if i played mediums exclusively.
but i like to play everything and get my 2x for every tank :( i SUCK at heavies (usually between 2-3k dmg)
for the life of me i cannot get the 113 to work, it's bouncy as hell from med to long range fighting but it's built to brawl...
even tho it roughly has the same pen as an is7, it just seems to not pen as well. i have 0 issues attacking in an is7 (btw the is7 HD model is ugly w/o the big machine gun on top)
fuck arty in the ass

I have been having fun in that rally mode. Dunno how replayable it is, but it was good for an hour. Certainly better than their horrible soccer mode. Also seemed better than the Karl games.

yea that rally is fun as hell, especially when you can cross over to their side during the bridge jump, then you can attack them from behind hahahah

I was going to ask where you got that image from, but then quoting you brought it up :p

I'm ALMOST to 1 kill ratio, and ALMOST to 54 percent.

These are some nice stats gents. You guys should platoon together if you don't.
I am razeldazel2 in WoT in case you wanna drag me along :awe:

I'll platoon with you at some point razel, though I typically don't platoon a lot (my "clan" is a fake one. I'm the only active player in it). Maybe some time this weekend if I manage to find time to log on (I just got a bunch of papers from my students so I have to do a lot of grading).

No, he just recently added himself to the stat site. Give it another couple of months and the site will even things out.

[edit] Me: http://wotlabs.net/sig_dark/na/frodotsolo/signature.png

Nice stats. I doubt I'll ever get to 60 percent. Seems like it's taken me forever to get from 52 percent to 54 percent (5k games). And of course progress is slowing. Hoping maybe to end up a 57-58 percenter at some point before progress essentially becomes fixed.
