replays get disabled (for some reason) along with other settings every major patch. I have to reset my crosshairs and other shit every time there's a big patch.

Got the T30 with the discount for On Track mission, with the 155mm gun, loving it. Free XP 30k just for the gun, didn't feel like I was effective with the 120mm.

Even though a 1 vs 1 engagement against another T30, who had the bigger gun and I won. Get him to bounce or miss, shoot his hull twice. But you still have to peek out twice and hope no others are aiming at you. For about the same amount of damage, peeking once is better.

I'm still slowly creeping towards the T30. I just can't get the T28p to work right for me. The 120 is very.... inaccurate. The shell goes whereever it wants to and the shots are not very normalized at all. With the gun it's feast or famine... I can have on-target shots miss half the time.

Seems to be the norm for all american guns unfortunately.

Played in skirmish 43 last night. Our team went undefeated for the first round. Let's hope our luck continues. This group is pretty competent and I am a good fit so I might become a regular with these guys.

The T30 is still one of my favs. I earned that bitch when it was a (terrible) tier X heavy. Obviously, I did terrible in it as a heavy tank - it was a giant team liability. The worst games back then were when there was more than one T30 on my team and I was one of them! I do pretty well in it now as a TD, and it makes good money too.

Don't know why, but I had a great game today. It felt real "casual" for me. Like I was just relaxing and playing some tanks.

Battles: 28
Win Percentage: 64.29%
PR: 2,011
ER: 1,881
WN7: 2,104
WN8: 3,177

I think that's the best day I've ever had in WoT where I've played at least 20 games.

By the way, the RU-251 is a great tank. I need to learn it a bit better, particularly I need to learn how to carry. Got about 20 games in it with only a 45 percent win rate, but it has huge potential once I get it down I think.

Also, sorry Razel. I didn't see your invite. I think that was maybe when I went to go get dinner and left WoT logged in.

Got the RU-251 researched. Been lazy about buying it. Mostly just playing around with different tanks and doing some credit farming. The other day I installed QuickyBaby's mod pack. I'm enjoying it. Never used xvm before. Kind of nice how it works. Hoping to use it to improve my game play more.

One thing I would say about the RU is that I wouldn't play it without doing Free XP on the first Engine Upgrade and the Tracks. The Tracks move you from 38 degree track traverse to 44, which is huge. And the first engine goes from 500 to 600 hp. The Radio upgrade and the Second Engine can be ground out, as they are only marginal bumps.

Well, if you get teams like I got yesterday, that will only be about half the team :D

After Friday (63% win rate), I did even better on Saturday (68% win rate, though my personal rating was worse). Then Sunday came about... 45% win rate after 40 games. Only played 40 games because I was trying to dig myself out of less than 50%, but it didn't happen :p. I didn't play badly (for me) either (2.2k WN8).

40 games, my bad, if i may ask, how many hours of play does it represent?
Click to expand...

5-6 hours. Usually I play around 20-25 games, but I was really trying to dig myself out of a hole of having a less than 50% win rate. Finally gave up at 40 games :p

Gotten in some Platoon time with Rita on her stream, which was fun. Gone 8-2 with her as well.

So far today haven't ran into too many bad teams, which is nice. I feel like I'm a decent enough player that as long as I don't get a tard team, I can help influence the battle in my teams favor. I'm just not good enough to carry a really bad team, so when I get on a bunch of bad teams I go on a losing streak.

Maybe it's because it isn't the weekend.

Yeah it sucks that it isn't Tier X. But it is helping to grind my RU-251 which I am playing a lot to get to the PTA and then Leopard. Was going to go for STB-1, but then decided I wanted the RU, and then since I was already there and wanting to play it a lot, might as well go for the Leopard.

Nice streak last night :)

Free xp'ed the autoloader gun on the bulldog. What a dream. Did 3.5k damage in a freaking light tank and it was still only a 2nd class. This sucker is OP as hell but only if you don't suicide in it.

Got the Ru 251 myself last night, very nice tank. They share the same engine as Indien-Panzer, so got top engine right away.
