AutoLoader: Lansen C, DO be that guy, baited

Lansen doesn't see?

Played the Lansen C in a battle on Murovanka  and oh my fucking god is that gun derpy. 320 alpha is nice if you actually hit anything you're aiming at. Fired 8 shots...missed 7, bounced 1. And these were fully aimed shots at mid-range.

Reminded me why I don't play that tank very often.

DO be that guy

Finishing up a mission the other day I needed to get a certain number of kills. 

So I'm on Prok in my T25 Pilot - which as you know is not a very good tank. Team is getting stomped and I have to retreat off the hill. The enemy 4202, is about to kill me, and the enemy T26E5 pushed over the hill on just 76 HP. 

I saw the chance to get one last kill before the 4202 finished me off when something unexpected happened...

The 4202 saw me aiming at the T26E5 and he deliberately backed up to block my shot!

He knew he had plenty of health, plus he was angled and I was in a T25 Pilot. I was a two-shot (if he high rolled) so he rightly figured he wasn't in any jeopardy.

Classy move by that gentleman. And I told him so in post-game DMs. Well-played.

Baited!

Had a game on Safe Haven in my Type 59G - was on opposite sides of a rock from a Bourrasque and I could tell he wanted to push me. I had TDs behind me though that I was pretty sure he didn't know about. So I deliberately turned my gun to face away from the side I wanted him to push...

...he pushed. And 2/3 of his HP evaporated before he could scamper back into cover.

Other than that my team sucked and we lost 7-15...but I had a really good game and I felt good about suckering the Bourrasque into getting shot. :-)

GLHF!
