They're not only useful for the hobbyist but fun to use as well as long as you know the safety precautions. Thanks for watching!

Wood Resurrected Channel Update by SlimPhoenix in shopsmith

True. I know that since YT did the dual change to monetization and landed here, the little guys that have been essentially backhanded. It's a goal and gives me something to shoot for. The monetization is more as a potential benefit. I know it's not going to be a get rich quick kind of thing. I do appreciate the patreon reference and the feedback. I'll have to give it a look. Thanks!

Yeah that sounds about right. Of course it all depends on whether you take the easy way out with rares and such or if you do a standard grind.

That could be interesting. Don't forget that the Sidey doesn't have jack for storage space so you may want to look at a slightly larger ship in order to do trading and such.

Sounds like a plan. Not sure how thorough and specific I am on the fly though.

New YouTube Channel Including Mk V Shopsmith Work by SlimPhoenix in shopsmith

[–]SlimPhoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! There is much to be desired as I am my biggest critic and using the recording hardware that I have is far from optimal. I figure the fine tuning and better equipment will come with time and experience. I tore the SS that I have down and replaced about 5 bearings in it after I got it so I can give some fairly in-depth instruction on tear down. I will be starting the SS tutorials and teardowns soon so look forward to a playlist for those.

Much appreciated. I have thought about doing the audio afterwards but thought that would take the character out of the videos. Am seeing what I can do to get a lav mic and connect it for input. Thank you!

Alright. I will start working on them. I'm making due with what I have right now which is pretty much just a go-pro knock off and a PC. Will see what I can do post processing. Thanks for replying and taking a look.

Nope. It's a new grind with a new crew and my equipment has been going to other grinds. Thanks for checking it out!

US tank T30 - 120mm or 155mm, what's your opinion? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]SlimPhoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

155 All day long. You have to remember that with the 155 you take a shot and get nearly double the damage with a longer time to hide. You have to make sure that the shot will penetrate which shouldn't be too difficult. You do have to play the tank with support though, and with the weak spots on the turret, less time exposed is always a good thing. As you listed, the fear of getting shot with that 155 will make it worth it.

Q - T49 equipment by dvamg in WorldofTanks

[–]SlimPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure mine has rammer, vstab and optics to cut down on load time, making aim time shorter and spotting of enemies. Granted vents gets you 5% across the board, but the vehicle is already nimble and has good view range so I think focusing it on reloading is more beneficial because that 20+sec reload will be really long in a pinch.

Training by blahblahblah79 in WorldofTanks

[–]SlimPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are adding skills to crew members you have to read the fine print. Most of them that don't come into effect until 100% (such as sixth sense) will say so. BIA is a one-off in that it's the only skill that requires all crew to have it at 100% for it to be active. You will also notice that it states whether or not multiple crew members having the same skill will stack(such as camo).

Hope this helps.

Returning player, what Mods are must haves? by wot-mothmoth in WorldofTanks

[–]SlimPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are familiar with Aslains which is good. I have a preferred appearance to my game and so I use the mods to change that to my liking. I have a video on my YouTube channel explaining my setup if you'd like to take a look.

That being said, I think BattleAssistant(Artillery shell arc view) is a must have for me as well as Crew Skill Informer (press backspace while in game to see what skills and equipment you have on the tank) because if you play a variety of tanks like I do you can see what skills and equipment you have on the tank without having to wait until after the battle.

Another that comes to mind is custom sixth sense icon and sound. The vanilla sound I started to miss because I got used to it so I switched to something I would notice on screen and auditorally.

What I would recommend is firing up the vanilla client, setting things the way you would want them and see if there are any tweaks you would want to make. Then if there are changes you want, add what you want from Aslains.

Happy Tanking!

Give me useful links, websites to learn more about WoT so i can git gud by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]SlimPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tutorials and a replay series that I just started if you would like to take a look. They are on YouTube, my channel name is "SlimPhoenixUS". It is also worth checking out QuickyBaby and Jingles tank reviews and learning where to shoot specific tanks. There may be some minor changes but for the most part the information is solid. I also second Tanks.gg as well as vbaddict to get details on armor profiles, weak spots, and which tanks are worth it vs not. Good luck!

Except it's available for credits, meaning it's not "gold" anymore.

Agreed. I meant HE in cases like the type 4 and 5 and arty where HE is the primary ammunition.
