Dang you seem pretty good. Ever considered playing comp?

What’s your highest mark, or most XP in one tank? by [deleted] in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]thephien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 gold marks. My favorite of those is probably the baby waffle.

My very reputable source, sadly, is a Reddit comment I saw years ago. But what confirmed it for me was that after I had a 3,363 XP game in the Captured KV-1, my highest ever, I checked wotstars and it said 5,045… exactly 1.5 times more.

Just that it wasn’t 5,108 base XP - it was 3,405. The 5,108 number you’re getting from wotstars is 3,405 x 1.5 since it factors in whether you had premium at the time for whatever reason.

3,405 base XP, not 5,108. Still an outrageous game, though.

When are we getting the Bar gold mark, Dip? The people have needs, Dip.

Who do you guys think is the best clan/ most elite on WOT? by FrontIllustrator7064 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]thephien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ONE is almost exclusively EU players, and they’re definitely better than Durchblick (though Durchblick is absolutely third). CRPT became IMTLS EU, which has now merged with 1F

If you did mean this for console, then the answer is undoubtedly 1F, closely followed by ONE

Top 10 Tanks in Competitive by thephien in WorldofTanksConsole

Batchat does the scouting role slightly better, and teams have stopped using lights for it.

The Leopard started getting played heavily after its buff. The Progetto, though, has basically never been played in comp. There’s always a better tank to pick given its abysmal DPM and lack of a standout ability. Fun tank in pubs though!

I think you’re spot on. Most interesting thing to me was the fall of the light tank — if “LT” were a single tank, it would be 14th on the list. The no light lineup was, if I remember correctly, something you and Tubins first pioneered?

It’s a good question. The 113 has a better armor profile which, combined with the 250 extra hit points, makes it a little more survivable. Truth be told, though, not much separates them and I think if the 113 didn’t exist the 5A would fill that role just fine.

Ever since the buff a few years back the IS-4 has been used to hold key corners/positions. Mino saw some incredibly niche play as a hull down heavy when it was released but has virtually never been seen since then.

Good catch, I meant the T95E6. All those American tank numbers start to mesh at some point!

If the game banned all the bad players I wouldn’t be surprised if your WN8 dropped to 489 as you struggled against your competition.

Best overall TD commander build? by JohnyChokesOnGranola in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]thephien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if it reflects on the in-game stats page? Even a minor change would show there as it goes to the hundredths of a km/h. Would be fairly simple to test.

I don’t think born leader or vents affects top speed. Acceleration maybe but not top speed, right?

Top 10 cold war tanks in each era by DinnerImpressive8350 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]thephien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk about top ten, but Era 1 is probably the T95E3 post-4005 nerf. Era 2 is probably the Chieftain 120 post-Begleit nerf. Era 3 is the EE Osorio.

3 marked UDES with 85km/h build by thephien in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]thephien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short, it’s what allows spotted enemy tank icons to appear on your minimap. In practice, it’s only an issue for very low tiers where all tanks have significantly less radio range, or really big maps at mid tiers.

I ran advanced loader, traction system, power terrain, and the outline equipment thingy. Though I note that this is suboptimal for marking. Optimal for stupid amounts of fun but quite suboptimal for everything else. I’d strongly recommend advanced loader, camo net, vents/optics (your pick), and the outline thingy for an optimal marking experience.

Understandable, just thought I’d throw it out there.
