JagPanth, Super Pershing, and me in the T20 are left. We are all at the enemy base, so while the other two cap I go to find what the enemy tanks are doing. I spot an enemy T20 incoming and knock him down to half hp. The only other enemy tank (a T32 at full hp) starts capping, then stops capping (obviously heading back our way). I leave the T20 to the other two (pretty much at full hp) and head back to base to intercept the enemy T32. JPanth dies to the T20 as I spot the T32 and engage him. Super Pershing then also dies to the T20 and the team rages at me for not helping as I knock the T32 down to 300 hp, then die to it.

I broke rule #1 of tanks: never assume anyone else in your team is competent.

95% chance win game on Widepark. Lost of course. 43% brigade kicking ass out of 55% crew. And of course game crashes when I try to make a screenshot of the teams. Though they had more heavies and more arty, and countered 2 of our arty. But still... fucking 95% game and team somehow turns it into a loss. That isn't to say widepark and all new maps aren't worst maps ever. Bring me back Dragons Ridge and Komarin and Swamp and Campagne, and take these new terribad maps oup.

Keep losing 75+% win chance games. I think XVM algorithm got completely fuxxorred by patch. Or shitbads don't know how to play in new environment at all.

[Dahak]

People still pay attention to that win chance?

[dzajic]

Well I mostly pay attention to enemy having top tiers being platoons of 55%+ players. But the predicted chances were quite indicative... before the patch; now I keep seeing games go either way. New MM is screwing up the old formulas, and much more than that, screwing the old habits and play-styles.

Pretty often I'll get stuck with a 60-70% win chance, but have a team of low-50% winrates vs a team with a bunch of 50%s and one or two 55%+. It's been pretty easy for those to swing the other way.

[Hel OWeen]

The patch notes of XVM mention a new "experimental" algo for win chance, which you can activate in the config. Perhaps that cures it, haven't tried it myself yet. But I second your experience that before patch win rates were pretty spot on and after patch throwing a dice has a better chance of predicting the outcome. XVM is still worthy for the player ratings.

KIA has invaded the NA server!!! Marvel at how bad they are!

  Spoiler:

They recruited from chat (NBS) so I called them out for being terrible faggots.

  Spoiler:

A KIA IS-3 makes a bee line from across the map, presumably to team kill me, rams me in the ass instead. When I stop, he turns around to facehug me, and I open fire on him. He didn't even damage me, not one hit point! KIA indeed. Granted, he didn't have the BL-9 equipped. KIA form both teams commence the pleas of REPORT TEAM KILLER in chat. Still finished the game with 630 experience.

  Spoiler:

I've been having a real shit night, but this made me smile.

Pretty much.

They were terrible in beta, terrible in early live, and are still terrible. non-shocker.

It's bad form when their newest recruit has the highest stats of the entire clan BY FAR. If they were at 47-50% cool, they are average. If they are higher, then at least they have some idea of the game. But most of them are in the 37-43% range. I mean really. It's better to have an AFK person than one of them on your team FFS.

Oh yea...they were/are terrible in EVE and every other game they play too.

Encounter, my team lemmings into the enemy, comes down to me vs five heavies, I've killed four tanks already. Ended the match with 5,358 damage dealt. Some choice quotes from my spectral teammates when it came down towards the end and I'm playing 5x cat and mouse in the city.

"Fucking E-50 lost us the game"

"E-50 noob only cares about kills"

"Stop the cap fucker" (Never mind it takes forever on Encounter and I had a pair of T34s to deal with first.)

Five kills in a Tiger and we still lose.

Well, something must have gone really wrong when a tiger gets all the kills, so nbs

[metacannibal]

JPz-E100, the new E-100.

Oh wow, did they even fire a shell between them? This is the kind of shenanigans I always see on my team. Latest one was a Super Pershing platooning a Ltracktor into our match. I was this lost to killing the noob tank dead, but he was so cute and helpless, I couldn't.

[Grarr Dexx]

I always gib troll platoons, I don't care if my shells costs 1000 silver a pop.

[Yankunytjatjara]

Funny thing, while selective breeding for IQ will increase average IQ, extremely high IQ outliers will decrease/lower in value. The average intelligence would go up but the number of extremely smart people will go down (not relative to populance, but absolute). I.e. Even if its a burden you need the dumb genes to make incredibly smart people.

Yeah no need to dispose of the recessive traits, but at the same time we need some evolutive pressure towards smarts... That's what's lacking!

I couldn't help but think of this while reading that:

The worst thing about that shitty movie is that it represents a likely future...

I got another Ltraktor on Himmelsdorf Encounter yesterday. This time, I went for the easy team kill. Unfortunately, my team still lost because of derp capping. Actually, I lost that map twice from the North side when we should have won it both times.

Edit: Saw another LTraktor in tier 8. This time on the other team. That's three in four days.

[Dahak]

Well this match went well.

  Spoiler:

[Lusulpher]

Tried to recruit Wafflefries late last year...but he moved on to bigger and better things.
Namely sniping me at all costs. ]: D-

Light arty early on Encounter. Arty dies.
Game won. Sit back and let them die. Sip lemonade.

BUT WHAT'S THIS???! Their team is -G- AND RNT platoons. Oh dear...that's a Poor Man's XVM rating of 1 v 5 NOT IN FAVOUR. Your team will DEFINITELY lose...
Do what you can Lus, have at them!!!
