Seems to be the only way to drag a team to a win is to kill everyone yourself. Victory!
Battle: Swamp
Vehicle: STA-1
Experience received: 3,834 (x2 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 71,236
Battle achievements: Top Gun, Reaper, Mastery Badge: "Ace Tanker"
WN8: 3733 (100) Did almost 4k damage. Next closest on my team was 980. This was a tier 8 match. |

x2 experience weekend... Then they drop this... "The XP earned from this mission does not count towards the Operation T34 event." So guess it will take a few more days.

This game can be frustrating as hell but can also generate some great moments. Was soloing in my Chi-Ri and the next highest WN8 on my team was 800 and went down from there. Was on abbey and I ended up soloing the 2 line against 3 heavies, cross sniped two guys in the abbey, then went across cap to kill the last guy on the 9 line. The best was being called a noob by a total potato because I wasn't capping. 7300 WN8 game.  |

I'm finding that the better I get at this game, the more it feels like work. You do everything you can to win a match and the rest of your team does whatever it can to throw the game. I've all but lost the will to solo any more. It really takes 2-3 people to even stand a chance of winning in a good majority of games.

I alternate between burning rage and a level of zen acceptance. The player base has deteriorated so badly in the last 3 months that it is almost pointless to be upset about bad teams at this point.

No, because WT isn't a 1:1 analog. It didn't catch me at all, so I just gave up entirely.
I haven't been playing WOT in the last 3 months but it was dire before that. If it's gotten worse I can't fathom it.

I've played the tanks in WT enough to know to get anywhere you are going to have to drop money into the game. But the product is not polished enough for me to do that yet.
I'm kind of waiting on the sidelines to see how it goes. I've noticed the WoT specials have gotten a lot more special the last few weeks. I think they feel the hot breath of competition on the backs of their necks.

I had another one of those 'damn, I did that?' games last night. Tooned up with Shade, the leader of J, my current clan, we won 10 out of 11 matches, with the best match for me being in my mutant 6 tier 8 heavy. 6 kills, god knows how much damage, a mess of other medals, including steel wall and a win8 of 12,200. And much like my top game in my 59 that Nebu and Katiri were witness to, I had no idea I was doing that well.

I took almost a week off, then jumped on Friday night to take advantage of the Memorial Day weekend specials.
I lasted 2 games. Won them both, but I am just completely burned out right now.

I'm going to play a good bit this week and then take a break to play Wildstar with some friends. I'm sure I won't last long there... I'm more burned out on MMOs than I am on WoT.

Been amazingly streaky for a bit - I went 1-6, then had Engels jump in and we won 7 straight, including a pretty epic 8-kill mop-up with my IS.
People playing poorly, and not understanding it...can be frustrating.

Indirectly his fault, so he can live with it. He is too nice/tolerant for his own good (and the good of the clan).

Holy crap! They have one of almost everything. The M50 and M4A3 really appeal to me. But I don't think the wife would appreciate my selling of our retirement funds to get one.

Of course maybe I could have a "tank" retirement.

I was lucky enough to get a couple all access tours to that collection thanks to some friends who volunteered there. The last time I visited while Mr. Littlefield was still alive we talked a little bit about how he was transferring ownership of his collection to a non-profit foundation. It had to be done in stages to avoid incurring tax penalties but when it was completed the foundation would own the collection so it would be able to continue. Unfortunately he passed away before the transfer was complete. The foundation tried to continue but couldn't make a go of it in the shape it was in and as a result the collection is being broken up. I managed to attend a couple of years ago for WoT's Operation Think Tank http://youtu.be/_oLY4FOrnjc which was a pretty cool event. Meeting the top armor historians in the world made the trip worthwhile but getting one last look at the collection was a nice bonus. |

Picked up the Tiger I because of the discount and bonuses this weekend. They've really buffed it up to a solid performer. Had a lovely 7 kill game on himelsdorf where I missed a kalobonov by one tank as I cleaned up the game as a 1v4.

I thought you'd do well in that tank. It's great as a bully when top tier and is a competent sniper against 8's. I'm playing with the Tiger P now and it's got less DPM but better armor. |

Tried playing again this weekend and decided that I'm done. Between my team wrecking my tracks and going "hur hur premium fucker" on my pak40, and then getting fucked from behind because my team couldn't kill a 1% T34 on my ISU I don't have the patience anymore. Plus I fucked up my ratings trying Arty and my T-34 again, which is totally not worth it with the asshats in PUGs these days. /sigh.

This was a fun one:  I'm digging playing these is7- line tanks. Had several ace tanker games already. |
