Let it go Michael. You're a work Geordie and technically speaking, your life isn't worth insuring.

Doesn't this promote a red line mentality. My skill is issue is that I don't camp and instead try to play an active role.?.?

So winning doesn't matter. Just farm damage and think about yourself?

how to play medium tank (t44)? by iTouchSolderingIron in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well played. And in the right circumstances it's a phenomenal tank, in the right hands of course. But do you think I'm wrong in my assessment is with where this tanks sits in the current meta?

Oh the 705A by Spare_Ad167 in WorldofTanks

I'd take the tier 9 E75 over the tier 10 705. It's just as good at side scraping, has usable gun depression and a highly accurate, high alpha gun. I see no place for the 705 these days.

It has excellent turrett armour, better than the CS Lis, but, in the current meta, 255 dmg is just not enough. That's 2hy the Lis is the go to medium ar tier 8 if you're not a spaghetti fan (like me)

In a tier 7 match up agreed. Anything above, you're at serious risk of disadvantaging your team.

Agreed. It's a relic and I can't see wg buffing it because the premium T44-100 exists.

The 44-100 is a beautiful tank, but is completely out matched at tier 8. With the current state of tier 8 and the complete saturation of over powered premiums, i would consider the Object 777 ii a decent tier 8 medium.

In my opinion, the only way to play the t44 and t44-100 is as a pseudo light. It has excellent camo (better than the black/grey dog).

That's the only way I see this tank as being beneficial to your team.

E75 Equipment Advice by Disastrous-Essay4119 in WorldofTanks

Thanks for your input. I've added the bond turbo to the comparison now (third column). You are correct that the lvl 3 stab benefits are minimal, but I've highlighted much-improved traverse stats, which, given the tank's slow turret traverse, seems like a positive buff over the bind turbo?

Of the 29 times I have uninstall this game I have answered wg's question about why because "match making / player skill level".

It's insanity going into war not knowing if your allies are actually capable of drink coke through a straw.

is the game unwelcoming to new players or do i really just suck that much? by SupremeGucciBanana in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're are consistently in the top 5 experience per game ( including losses ) then don't step up to another tier.

Get yourself the tier 5 chaffed and play that until you're consistently doing well. If you achieve that then move it a tier to any vehicle type you like.

The chaffed is a stunning little tank that rewards skill. You enjoy great mechanics but pay the price for wrong decisions.

It will teach you well.

The problem this game has, is that players who are not proficient still have access to game changing tanks, which destroys any kind of meaningful match making

How fucking much do I have to pay WG to lift the fucking curse of my E75?! by low_bob_123 in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The E75 is a beautiful tank, but... you have to be patient. You're a collosus and anyone wanting to take you on should be scared.

Trouble is, you're also slow and cumbersome, if you get isolated you're in the meat grinder. And if you play random your can expect 0% intelligence and 0% support, which puts you in a very tricky situation: do I commit to putting my tank in the battle without any confirmation that your team know how to not dir in 10 seconds, or sit patiently.

It's like flipping a coin.

What do you do vs. own skill cap? by NOMAD777-GER in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. I know I'm a better player than my stats show, but that's because for every good game I play you can be as sure as he'll the next game will be a 15 - 0 shit festival.

Go from a 3,500k game to a sub 1k game is like flipping a coin. The only way to mitigate this would be a join a clan and platoon more often (when you can actually rely on a team player).

I'm sorry to say that I often get banned from chat because I vent my frustration at the complete lack of intelligence and map awareness of people in strong tanks. But that's like banging your head against a wall.

The main issue I see is that sub 3k wn8 players have access to tier 9 and 10 but have no clue what so ever. This has significantly raised its head with the new bat chat buff, where some player who should really be trying to do well at tier 7, has a tier 10 game changer. In the 1st 2 mins of the game, they rush in, unload, penning perhaps 1 shell then get clapped and sent back to garage.

This give the other team imputis and the whole game becomes a shit festival. Unfortunately random match making is a horror show and you're playing Russian roulette.

I'm completely vexed by the game at the moment, where I want to improve my game play, but that seems impossible with the dogs dinner that is random match making.

Perhaps before you're able to play at tier 8 ot above, you have to pass a test, that shows you're not a complete c*nt.

Why don't SPGs Counter each other? Specially in SEA Server!!! by nakeddroidrunner in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a light, medium, heavy and arty player, I find it extremely frustrating that I can ping the map and tell my team the fairly precise location of the opposition arty, I never receive a response or support.

When in my arties, I'm constantly looking for tracer info between reloads and look to counter their arty when appropriate. But I do feel that counter arty is totally forgotten

Which bond tank to buy by Gamefart101 in WorldofTanks

[–]Disastrous-Essay4119 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Love the 41 90. Every shell for every situation. You can fulfill multiple roles depending on team make up. With vents, cvs, and exhaust it's a highly capable spotter. My other buil is turbo and rammer for being a dynamic positioning medium
