I bought three M2 modules, Rail / Thunder / Gauss, and MU'd them two steps on this account And two M2 modules, Rail & Gauss, and two MU steps for another account. That one isn't going to make it to Captain before New Year, so might have to wait until the next 50% sale after that one to get it

shame about losing all of my notifications, used those as bookmarks

Another Epic paint

I might try alternating between HTML5 and Flash with today's battles, but still struggling with HTML5 Does anyone know why this change was made? The increased angle of turret movement before the turret appears to be stationary relative to the environment. It's the thing that's made using Smoky more difficult for me (and other turrets for other players, presumably). UI / fonts etc. stuff is trivial compared to this.

One of my other accounts ran in to someone on here just now (ASL, Molotov). Might have happened before, but first time I've noticed.

I still zap a lot of Wasp bombs with Hunter, even when the countdown is on "2", just have to react almost instantly, possibly easier with a low ping I'm biased on Hunter because I don't use anything else, but one change I would accept is not being to return a flag or steal a rugby ball unless you kill the tank What I don't want is the supply cool down to be made so short that it allows stunned tanks to use repair kits instead of (wasting) their ODs as a defence edit: Oh, and Dictator's OD probably gives me more grief than anything else, especially when they are working in teams and taking turns to share, and the freezing effect is almost as bad as Hunter's OD

I see enough Dictators and Titans with Gauss to make having some protection worthwhile, but sometimes I wonder why I bother I think Gauss is an abomination

I'm assuming I have to buy an M2 Smoky kit soon. M1/10 still packs a punch at this rank, but I doubt many people manage to take a M1/10 Smoky all the way up to Colonel? Atlas or Northerner? Titan or Viking? Titan probably makes more sense, but a stronger Viking would be fun if they do a NS map again, even though it's like driving a shopping trolley. (no point buying Aborigine, have M1/10 Hunter)

I've got over 240 containers (from four accounts) on my spreadsheet now (first was opened on 22nd May) and they have all been opened immediately and one at a time My average crystal value of a container based on adding all up all of the crystal, gold box, and premium rewards (at 2500 crystals / day for premium) and dividing that by the total is currently 3189 crystals 15% or one in every 5.66. of those containers were rare (2% were epic), so it's hardly surprising that 5 container openings contain one rare container or that 15 container openings might contain two or three I still think anyone's belief about containers is being heavily influenced by confirmation bias One of my accounts is often lucky, last nine containers for that one: 3500 Crystals 5 GB 25000 Crystals 125 Mines 3500 Crystals 25000 Crystals 25000 Crystals 125 RK 3500 Crystals

Nah, Mammoth's is the most OP I once drove off the edge of the map (on Silence) because I didn't want the humiliation of being killed by a Mammoth's OD I was under one of the ramps and the Mammoth was blocking the only exit No other OD has the power of shame Wasp's bomb can be annoying sometimes, especially when you're spawning next to one and can't escape, but I escape it or EMP it more often than I get killed by it. Hunter M1/10. If I EMP a wasp and it retaliates with it's OD, I consider than a win because it's a waste of an OD. Same for Viking and Titan.

I've seen a few isolated stupid things, like me defeating a Titan/Twins and Titan/Rico of equal rank because they didn't turn their turrets, but this is a constant... Just finished an ASL battle where I was able to complete a capture three flags mission in one battle (not always using my OD, but I did manage to stun four enemy tanks because they were too tightly clustered around the blue base) because blue didn't go on the offensive, giving red control of most of the map (Aleksandrosk) and allowing them to time their flag runs perfectly. I like playing ASL, but on so many maps I think blue is more likely to win by getting away from the base and trying to get 70 kills instead of sitting there and let red come to them. I've seen red teams get completely wrecked when most of the blue team tries to overrun them instead of trying to defend the base, but have also lost or nearly lost a lot of ASL battles because my (blue) team is too passive. How do good blue teams play ASL at M3/4 ranks?

Yep, I still think it's unplayable for a Smoky player that is nearly always turning their turret and I'm really concerned about it. Some of the successful shots I've made in the Flash version are impossible in the HTML5 version. Also don't like the outlines on tanks, one of the skills in the Flash version is not wasting too many shots before you find that exact turret position for hitting the couple of pixels of an enemy tank that are sticking out from behind a wall. The lower fidelity also makes that kind of pixel level shooting accuracy harder.

Indeed Wished I used Mary paint now... "Under the bludgeonings of M3s / My tank is bloody, but unbowed"

I am the captain of my soul Edit: I don't the play the game in 4K with highest quality graphics settings, only use that for screen grabs. I play with up scaled 1920x1080 on a 4K screen and only have the skybox and mip-mapping turned on for 60 fps on this all-in-one PC (1 of 2, the other one will do 60 fps at 1920 x 1080 with highest quality settings, but screen isn't as good). FPS for this screen grab was only 19.

I get Rio and Silence quite often, last battle was on Silence. Agree about Silence being unbalanced in some modes. On Rio I just try to occupy and defend the roof because the team that manages to control it usually wins.

Whatever it is, it's very low. I've only had one Exotic and two Legendary containers from 800+ hours of playing. Epics and Rares are much more of a regular thing, 2% for Epics (5) and 14% for Rares (31) from last 220 containers I have opened since 22nd of May

I find it annoying, but not as annoying as some other things. I think the combination of Hornet's OD and the addition of Gauss (on any hull) has made one-shot kills happen much more often, probably by too much. (I don't care about Gauss not having a laser or anything. I usually know where they are.)

I’m still struggling with the camera, especially when doing run’n’gun with Smoky. It’s just got too much inertia and can’t move as quickly as some turrets.

Managed to get #1 on this account, mainly because I started with the Juggernaut

That's what I've been doing. My first account (now 2nd Lt) has most of the hulls at M0 and I've just been using a Viking (which drives like a bar of soap after 800 hours on Hunter) and Smoky M1/10 to go on a Mammoth hunt. Not going to get many boxes, but so far it's been a fun map to experiment with the other overdrives.

I'd save them I've saved up 1,043,649 crystals on this account, and I just worked out that would allow me to MU M3 Smoky / Hunter to M3/15 and three modules to M3/10 without any discounts if I ever rank up that far (will take a long time at an average of 5K XP per week) In the realm of M4s, a million crystals doesn't go that far

I'll let you know how Smoky v Freeze goes (I have four accounts and only use Smoky / Hunter). Should have buffed Juggernaut instead of nerfing Freeze.

I've got a deal 200K damage in any mode (for 1312 crystals) top-tier daily mission on my WO4 account. Might do it just to see how long it takes, might take less time than 100 kills Have 160K in CTF in top-tier on this account

I was never expecting 50/50 MU/SU discounts for this event, that's for New Year (I hope)

I just finished a CTF battle on Molotov where I started on my own and was able to capture a flag before the rest of the players appeared
