Only mentioned it because were it the E25, I'd be all over it! Grinding the panther II during the event myself.

T-25s are bothersome at Tier V. Had a pair of them raising hell with our Halloween colored team last night. Luckily Furiously put on his Superman cape and won the game for us anyway. Last night was unbelievable. If my platoon didn't absolutely CARRY a game, we didn't win. Ever. I mean EVER. Usually you can have an off game and occasionally your team will stop licking windows long enough to click on a few red tanks and win the game. But not last night. Luckily Nebu and Furiously were getting shit done most of the time  |

Very nice. Is that tank worth getting? Sela always says that i plays like a heavy without any of the benefits of being a heavy.

I'm liking it quite a bit. Good gun. BTW if you are using Sela's mod pack I would suggest taking it off. He was permabanned for it yesterday.

What I earth does his mod pack do that warrants that? Now I need to go look it up ed: Found it. Reminds me why I've always had a bias against mods and always feel you shouldn't allow them at all in PVP games. His mod pack was including banned features like: * Showing tank death locations on the minimap * showing reload times for all tanks based on last firing information * all falling tree locations on the mini map ed2: Also, WG has rolled back on the perma-ban (at least on Reddit) calling it a 'misunderstanding' and the permaban was 'accidental' so it's only a 7 day ban now. http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/338041-all-this-talk-about-mods-and-bans-and-not-a-peep-from-wgna/page__pid__6744656#entry6744656 |

So they appear to be saying: We don't have an official list yet of banned mods. We are working on it. In the mean time if you stream using a mod that might end up on the list we will give you a perma-ban and correct it to a 7 day ban after you complain.

Are WG the new CCP? I guess using a mod to show fallen trees is pretty obviously an exploit.

They are planning to publish a list of proscribed mods as soon as they can figure out which ones they don't like. Tune in next year. In other news, I jumped on this morning to grind out the last 6k XP to the 704 and went goddamned bananas in my ISU 152. Replay5 kills, 4800+ damage, Ace Tanker (of course it is Monday, so Ace is easier to get). |

Heh. No kidding! I was SO bad last night It was just an odd evening... with its share of frustration. I think I was definitely the worst of the 3 of us. My play was very inconsistent. |

I finally got carried in my T54 today after six losses. It is so annoying to put out 3-4k damage and still lose. What is happening to the players....

Good but not great ones are fucking off to xbox where it's easier? (everyone gets 6th sense for starters...) Forced win rates make the game shittier for good players? Even crappy players have finally ground their way up to T8/9? Clanners aren't doing public matches anymore? The new content hasn't proved sticky with old players so they don't do public matches? Great players already have all the tanks, why do pubs and raise your blood pressure.
I dunno, all of that, I suppose.

Looks like the next on track vehicles will be the Obj-140, Waffle, and Bat 58 arty.

I've been playing a lot less lately. I guess after three years I'm just bored with it. New tanks are just new grinds. I was hoping for new game modes and historical battles. And we kind of got that with Confrontation, but it happens so rarely it might as well not exist. I'm mostly waiting for War Thunder tanks to see what that is like. |

Speaking of the ever-worsening player base, have I got a replay for you. I was mostly awful, but try to spot where my team made a mistake. Oh and another replayTop Gun, High Caliber, Ace Tanker- and lost. Ran out of ammo so I couldn't carry any more. FUCK PUBBIES FOREVER. |

Same here, although I understand that historical battles will be in the 9.0 patch. http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/366674-exclusive-historical-battles-coming-in-90/ |

Did I mention that I've gotten two Ace Tanker badges recentlty... IN LOSSES! As for the rest, I have almost no interest in WT tanks due to the fact that so much of their information is client side. We've already seen what can happen with what little information WGN gives client side from the warpack mods. I can only imagine the level of cheats that will get generated if the majority of information is client side in WT tanks. While flawed, I'll stick with WoT for now. Nothing else seems to scratch my pvp itch. |

I've been playing around on this game for a few weeks now. I still suck but always down to group up instead of doing randoms by myself.

I saw you starting a few times through Steam. I kept thinking you were another friend of mine with a Z name until I was actually in game with said friend and you started up. Then it sunk in... Feel free to add me as a contact and msg me when you see me in game. If I am not already tooned up, I will be happy to run some lower tier stuff with you and show you how NOT to play |

I'm on tanks as Nebu_f13. Feel free to send me a chat as well. That goes for the rest of you regulars too. I'm finding solo play to be little more than a lesson in frustration. If you see me online, please shoot me a platoon invite. I have every tier covered. |

I'm in tanks as Phredde, I mostly play in the early morning Pacific time, I'm also on in the evenings every once in a while if you see me give me a shout. I don't play nearly as much as I used to but every once in a while I get on a streak.

So they stripped out the info on the next "on track" tanks so keep that info on file as "tentative".

Banned mods postThe two mods I stripped out (white tanks and hit indicators) aren't even on it, dammit. Feel better about it. They're still cheats for shit-tier players. All that stuff is. Frankly, anything not offered by the WoT client as provided by WG is cheating. But that stuff they outright banned is just over the top. I expect a lot of "really good" players are going to start getting really bad, really fast. |

Doubt it. None of that stuff gives much advantage if you know what you are doing except the passive map dmg and tracer ones that tells you where people are without them being spotted.
