Started using the 10.5cm on the Tiger (P)

It's a pretty good meme cuz I got two barrel rings on it so I always tell people I got them using the 10.5.

Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Last two tanks in game - T28 Prot, Lorr. 155 51. Versus enemy last two tanks, Carnaervon, Lorr, 155 51.

T28 angled his armour 45 degrees to the Carn, despite having a billion mm frontal armour, and got torn apart through his shitty side armour (and couldn't work this out for like 6 god damn hits). The 155 tried baiting the other 155, failing miserably, squandered 50 seconds of enemy capping, and managed to get shotgunned anyway.

Pissing useless.

Can't even describe.

Last night I was hovering between 82-83% on my MOE for Tiger II and tantalisingly close to my second mark. Today my play has been absolute trash and I've had so many 0 damage games and I've slipped all the way to 78%

I mean, today's just bad overall really.
Two ops that are currently running are Baby Got Tracks (2000 track assist, 2x) and Winning Day or w/e it's called (15 kills in winning battles) and these two usually aren't easy for me to get, even playing all day. But it's now 4:32pm and I think I've spent almost all day stuck on 4 winning kills. Not checked lately though.
E: I had five when I wrote that, given that I went up to 7 after a match with 2 kills.
I've now just slipped underneath 78% MOE on the Tiger II and it's not getting any pissing easier. Never underestimate how easily a 105mm HE round can chip your health away.

E2: had a funnily made match. 1 Tier VII scout apiece, 1 Tier IX TD apiece, and thirteen Tier VIII heavy tanks to shoot. 3000 damage to start bringing my MOE back above 78%, hopefully reversing the trend.

Not the tier 5 td. It is the worst tank i've ever played. I unlocked the tier 6 a bit ago, and my first game stock was better than any game I've had with the tier 5. Its the gun on the tier 5...a semi derp that only shoots heat. Its crap.

The lago is alright for a tier 4, doesn't take long to grind through. The tier 5 is alright too. I'm about...6k xp away from the tier 6, which seems really fun.

Dropping whole warehouses worth of 10cm AP shells with Akizuki on larger ship's superstructures really stacks up the damage. It's pretty much a necessity though, because it has an awful 5% fire chance without DE, and anything thinker than 16mm means a zero damage hit for HE.

The high tier TDs are actually uber situational, making any strength they'd otherwise have rather mitigated.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

One loss in the T-44 broke a 10-game winning streak :( that said, the Tiger II is somehow now on an 11-win streak today. The 50 100 games were three consecutive losses late last night before I turned off, haven't sat in it today. The timings are US clocks, hence why they're here.

Aaaannd that streak is now broken by a shit game where the entire team came through my lane and there were only two mediums to support me.

Friendly reminder not to go broadside to an Akizuki at close range, and also a reminder not to keep throwing planes at her if you're a lower tiered CV.

Want a winning streak? Play the Mle.49. You have to be braindead to lose in it.

It was.

Plus I was tired and frustrated before those three games.

Just be like me and drop your laptop, and then forget to reinstall WoT on your new one because other games have higher priority.

I'm finding it impossible to get wins in my Motherland these days. My T-44 and Tiger II Winrate over the last two days are both hovering around 2/3, while the Motherland is at one for 10. This morning I've had 0 for five, which has sent my overall Motherland wins-losses to -5. Just today, I went from 50/50 to negative.
The fuck.

I'm also on 0 survival today (but I am a Unicum by efficiency, somehow), and also for yesterday - meaning I went 0 for 10 survived matches, and just 3 kills.
