Do people in this game act like complete shitters on purpose?

If you manage to kill them in their late game slav machines they put you on a list.

F2P games attract the worst of scum

I assume they target sleeper accounts.
Accounts from people who don't play often or spent too much time without playing, that way the risk of the person coming back and getting the account back is lesser.

The game incentivizes you to be a selfish asshole at all times. He probably figured they'd lose anyways so he wanted to get whatever gains he could from the loss (not much).

good think i literally don't have any premiums or GE.
My account is literally empty except unlocked vehicles, there is nothing to steal
oh good then i play almost everyday so im safe i guess
and the fact that there is nothing to steal prolly also helps

Just started a new match and not even five minutes in I get spawnkilled (after dying on cap) by a nigger in a T-44-100 with subhuman runes covering it. What the fuck drives these people?

i act that way when i know that most of my team is dead and we don't have any cap points.
I just go for kills

,>gajin have programmed the game so poorly it's impossible to pinpoint where its coming from

So many times in stereo I've heard engine sounds to the left when an enemy tank is to the right

When you find that pesky tank making those engine noises and hit him in the side.

Am I a bad person for using the hiterbolt to grind golden eagle wagers?

No, you're a smart person.

Is it going to be worth it? The Chi Ri II looks cool plus it even has 2 guns

What do you mean?

>it even has 2 guns!
You will never use the 37, there is no use for the 37 at that BR.

>M56 Scorpion

Just go this thing and im loving it so far

Not even for dealing with SPAA?

Nope. At the most you might shoot an ASU-57 with it once or twice, but why bother when you can just OHKO it with your main gun?
That said, the Chi-Ri is great fun, one of my favorite weeb tanks. Too bad about everything after it in the tree.

I am playing RU tanks and I just reached the T-44-100, I feel like they are boring as shit how do I keep playing to get to cold war tanks?

Deleting everything with one click gets boring after a while.

Get the ZSU-57-2 if you want fun.

T-54 is just "T-44-100: Better edition" but I actually love the T-54 mod. 1951 because it gets HEAT-FS. They aren't really gonna get more exciting though, maybe you should play a different tank line for a bit. Playing Brits is quite fun until you hit 7.0 and then you will remember how amazing it is to 1 shot with APHE and go back to the Soviets.

>be ontos
>come to any sort of stop
>guns are literally flailing about
would they even fucking move around this much when coming to a stop? jesus christ

The only one click tank I felt was the KV-2 with the ?152mm? gun, I am currently playing US line and the shermans often feel like better tanks desu.

HESH hitting the UFP of an IS-3. This is how Gaijin thinks HESH performs in real life.

Attached: HESH.png (614x618, 1.1M)

So im guessing using 90mm HESH from the M56 scorpion is not a good idea?

Your HESH even have enough pen to kill an IS-3?

ok, where and how

The Scorpion's HESH actually works most of the time, just not on )))) vehicles. I was using 90mm HESH

pm me :^)

should i use hesh on my magach? or just the heatfs

>magach

>He bought the Magach
Why didn't you just talisman the M60 like a smart person?

>m56 kills me

Or at least thats how i like to imagine it

haven't played in about 2 years friendos

Just me or the Bf109G10 lost tail control more faster now?

absolutely in love with the CASnigger genocide going on in top tier tanks right now lads

which tank has the most bullshit damage model and why is it the T-44

Fucking thing is so cramped and yet it's always only two crew members that die. Such bullshit

I just found an ancient prepaid debit card with $50 on it, but it expires next month so I can't wait for a sale: what's the best SL grinder I can get for that?

Amazingly something that's only benefiting Ger or Ger/Ru/France teams. Otherwise Arado spam is still ruining it all

Prem acc goyim

no room for explosion )))))) small explosion )))) little damage )))))))))))

Wow!

absolute trash
hope you like lobbing ineffective heat shells at enemies that have heat negating techologies until you get the atgm and realize the atgm is actually worse

what was matchmaking like before they made it so MBT and KPZ couldn't team up? Right now it's either allies vs axis or US, UK and Japan against Germany, USSR, Italy and France and it's pretty boring
