Could we non-WoT players have some context, plz?

There's lots of one kind of tank.

...Yeah, I got that. I meant some context on why this particular tank is hated/reviled/feared/loathed/whatever.

It's driven by ghosts and can't be killed.

It's a glitch and causes the world to load improperly, creating a maze of cliffs that are difficult to navigate.

The tank lacks a barrel and as such can only shoot good wishes and happy dreams. It is more deadly than any other tank.

The tank bleeds orange and that's weird.

The tank can fly.

The tank is capable of running underwater and under sand, and, like a walrus, makes very loud bleating sounds.

The tank is not a tank but a small group of children equipped with rocket launchers.

The tank smells like feet.

The tank does not submit to the will of Iram.

When the tank shoots other tanks they become that tank.

The M3 Lee is the Trickster Mode?

[Sirus]

...So is anyone gonna give a straight answer?

[Darvi]

Would if I could.

...actually, no. Probably wouldn't.

[Loud Whispers]

...So is anyone gonna give a straight answer?

Ignore them. Pretend they don't exist until the conversation veers towards something you understand. Or, hell, just grab the rails and FORCIBLY change them onto another subject. Y'know, go incredible hulk on this thread.

I hear the M3 bandwagon can actually drive on rails...

The M3 Lee has two guns, but the turret-mountet 37mm gun is not currently implemented due to engine limitations concerning multiple weapons. Thus, the only weapon is the casemated 75mm mounted in the bow. This is a decent gun for the Lee's tier (tanks in WoT are grouped into tiers based on how capable they are), but it only points forward, with extremely limited traverse. In order to aim at a target that is more than a few degrees from the centerline of the gun, you have to turn the tank, which is slower and throws off your aim. The Lee is also a fairly high-profile target, so that it is extremely easy to spot, meaning that the ambush situations where it does well are very hard to pull off. To top it off, you have to grind a huge amount of experience to get to the M4 Sherman, which is one of the most popular tanks in the game.

tl:dr
It combines the limitations of a Tank Destroyer and a heavy tank without the strengths of either, and you have to spend a lot of time in it to get to a very good tank.

THANK YOU! Now I kinda get it.

Magikarp3 Lee?

No, the Sherman doesn't have Hyper Beam!

I'm reading through the Nanoha manga omakes (again). Why am I even doing that to myself.

[Euld]

Ahhhhhhhhh 

Watching a C# tutorial on youtube.  Yep you know what that means.  But I figured I'd learn at least an idea of where I need to take my script.  I can handle this.  The guy talks too quietly in a thick accent, rambles, makes mistakes, has noises in the background, really needs to edit his goddamn video already.  Then the guy names a boolean.

He names it "temprary."

I didn't think it was possible to laugh and cry on the inside at the same time.  Now I know.

Iunno, the derpgun could arguably be the equivalent in tankery terms.

Sounds like my C teacher. I wonder if he does web tutorials...
