I aced my fiftieth tank today - one I hate and was worried I would never ace! It's the Somua SAu 40. The worst bucket of bolts in the game, at least in my experience.

 

There are some take-home lessons here, though. During the game the DW goes afk pretty close to me while we are both overlooking base. At the time I am aggravated that he is not helping me hit the reds, who are trying to cap base. But in retrospect, he was 1) probably drawing fire - shots that could have been directed at me, and 2) had he been firing with that big (by tier IV standards) gun of his, I likely would not have gotten the ace. So maybe I should save the vitriol; at times an afk can be a help to you.

 

In any case, you will not see me in this tank again; of course I sold it! That's what I do (unless I enjoy running in it, that is)...

Bromwell strikes again.  Just missed the Raisin when the last red KV-1 killed me .  Fortunately I left him on around 200 HP and our KV-2 sent him back to the garage.

Good work bud.  I don't know how you do it with TD's... Between them and heavies there are certain aspects of this game that I just can't make work.

Took a while to ace this. It doesn't make much credits sadly.

I was tooning with SD during this battle, and it was like watching a no-hitter in baseball. I didn't want to say anything, not wanting to jinx him. I feel a little bit responsible, too - that doggone KV-1 knocked me out when I was trying to cod him in my MT-25 - if I had gotten my four shots into him before he killed me, SD would have gotten the raisin, no doubt. C'est la vie, chef, c'est la vie.

The T-1 and M-6 don't get much love, but they have always worked pretty good for me. This is my best game ever in the M-6. I got an Ace, Pool's and a pretty good carry.  I was one shot away from a raisin . I was playing way above my head in this game.

M6 is a good tank. I think what turns people off about it is you can't dominate the battle field with it like the T1 Heavy in tier 5.

 

I'm a hair under 60% with it but never Aced it and haven't used it much since the Great Plague.

If I remember correctly, this is my first ace in the ARL-44, and what ace, bottom tier agings 3 top tier tanks, a suicidal Cromwell B that did nothing, I'm was speechless when I saw the result (hell I almost manage to do 3000 of damage)

Before this weekend, I only had 4 kolobanovs in 6500 battles and none of them were when I was playing on mobile.

 

Then Saturday morning, I got my first mobile Kolobanov (and also only my 3rd ace playing mobile) in my KV-1:

 

Spoiler

 

 

At the end it was down to me versus the B1 (a 1-shot), the S35 (around 2/3 health) and the Leo (around half health). Despite the Leo's good score in the end, the three of them played pretty badly and gifted me a Kolobanov Ace that I don't really feel like I earned.

 

 

 

Then yesterday (back to playing KBM), I got another Kolobanov that was deeply satisfying. This is a case of green is terrible but red forgets that you're playing supremacy:

Spoiler

 

 

As you can see, red was up 6-3 on kills at the end. My entire team went the direction of A/B (on Canyon). Since I was in the super fast LTTB and red didn't have very much speed, I thought I would check out C. I capped C but spotted a whole bunch of reds heading that way. After capping C and popping a couple shots into red, I immediately bailed back through our spawn.

 

Unfortunately, my teammates had done basically nothing - had not capped and didn't fire on the reds I spotted. So I rolled into B and capped it, while my team kind of stalled out in the space between B and our spawn, with reds mostly rolling down into the area between our spawn and C. Red had capped C, so I flanked around to re-cap it and starting lighting up their ARL at the same time. While I was doing that, my team basically fell apart at the seams leaving me in a 1v5 situation. Thankfully the Tiger I was the only red really close to me and I was able to out shoot him (another red gifting me a kolo/win) to get the kill and seal the win on points, with four reds still on the board.

I also had this beauty in the T-43 on Saturday night. It was part of my 30-battle stretch for the event, so I was happy with the timing.

Kolobanov on Middleburgh, in my favorite tank.  The Jackson!

My team whining for several minutes about me being on the hill.

Then when the last three tanks started climbing the hill for me, I ran to get cover in the corner, and my team just erupted.  “going to hide some more ...”

Well it’s called winnng and I doubt anyone on my team leaned anything from it.

In fact I know they didn’t because my only two praises were lucky player.

Well [edited]them.

Nice game! I really have trouble with that tank - I like to think it's been power-creeped, but truth is that I am pretty meh in tier 7. Congratulations - nice, nice, job!

I don't know Cat. I just checked your stats and you haven't played it in over a year. I'd be willing to bet that you would do much better in it now.

 

I have driven some supposedly OP tanks (notably the Tiger (P) and Mod. 1) and struggled in them for quite awhile before getting the hang of them.

[MarBearCat]

Not an Ace but was fun being Top Tank in production as a low tier tank, racing around the hills of MiddleBurg, racing down towards town, racing back up the hill like a nut, killing on the fly (mission, kill while moving), surviving the win! 

 

This was a fun battle.

 

Oh, and spotting 5 at the beginning.

Not an Ace, but a pretty good result for my first ever battle in my new Ke-Ho that I bought on sale for 50% off ( along with a bunch of other tanks as well)
