    I like the SU-100Y. Of course, an 81% game helps. :rofl

    the arty nerf does suck hard. but I just played a game in my GW Panther where I was last man standing and direct fire killed two enemies for a 4 kill game :lol3
    Got wiped out by a hummel across the map :huh
    but whatever. Long reload, less accuracy.

    they are adding in this "mission system", am I the only one that thinks there should be a bonus of some type whenever you get a badge/award/etc like top gun or confederate?

    You already do at times with the events, but that sounds like what some of the missions will be.

    sent from my abacus.

    Roy and I got on better than I ever thought, though he did Dog-jaw me.

    Lobster gave me a titty twister.

    About half my matches yesterday did not have any artillery. I tried using completely non-traditional behaviors (center pushes, field irregularities, ...) to engage reds. Some were successful; others failed hard. WR was pretty bad on account of some silly yolo behavior.

    One of the most successful maneuvers was on Highway.

    [​IMG]

    Spawned in the northeast in a Matilda BP. XVM showed that the other team held an advantage with skilled heavies, but our team had the better mediums/lights. I expected all the heavies to drive into the refinery, as usual.

    I drove straight to D4, fought my way to F2, then proceeded to cap. As the cap timer started, our team had just lost the fight for the refinery, with 0/5 red heavies destroyed. I congratulated them on successfully capturing the refinery, finished capping their base, and went on with the evening.

    Edit:

    Oh yeah, Getsome only did one battle yesterday. About 140 defense points while waiting for my heavies to return and kill the tier 9 invader wannabes. Efficiency for yesterday was 15,735 (yes, 5 digits).

    Another sometimes-works strategy we've done on that map is push up the river in stealth, back shoot the trail end of their rush then cap.

    Yeah, but they need to be every time you earn a badge. Otherwise whats the purpose of the badges other than bragging rights. just my thoughts to make the badges more significant

    Non arty games really open up the map...they are almost like new games. I LOVE stepps with no arty....all those little dips make for some great hull down positions.

    I also had quite a few no arty matches...or very few arty matches....I only have about 15 days left on my prem....before the patch I was done with this game....after the patch I only played one or two, and did pretty sucky....yesterday I tore up my thumb with a grinder and gounded myself for a bit...so I played...the games where fun, and had very little arty....if it stays this way they might get another $100 out of me.
