Thanks sax, but I wouldnt want to have put you through 3 hours of amx 49l crew grinding! Also as a general rule of thumb platooning can dent my win rates too ! Though I think you probably drag my win rate up rather than down 
Obsessive_Compulsive I had already rage quit steel hunter this year I did ok in the first round, got to level 15. I had 6 tokens total so was on course for a reward tank, but the second round they made it harder somehow. It took me ages to get to like level 2. I thought this is too much grinding for a reward tank I wont even play, so I gave up.
Uh_Oh not just me then, though I did ok in my tier 6 games that I played, but the tier 8 ones where just terrible. Im not even sure if its because my team mates were idiots or unicums. Like the tier 10 game on himelsdorf (again my my amx m4 49L) where 9 or 10 tanks went the hill the 2 arty and 2 or 3 tanks went railway and me, myself and I went to guard the heavy lane against a t30 and a t95. I didnt succeed lost 700 health, fell back to the church , poked my head around a corner to spot for the arty which was the only support that turned up and my head fell off ( hit by a t95 and t30). Am I and idiot for trying to spot for a flank, or just an idiot for expecting some support to turn up when needed ? Should I just join the biggest lemmingtrain ?
What I would like to know is did people notice more gold flying around than normal at tier 8 last night ?
Maybe I normally avoid tier 8s on Saturday nights or something ? I generally like to play my tier 6 premiums on account of the higher tier games can be long and ponderous affairs. And at tier 6 I can use my good crews and make a difference in the battles and make money.
I know my role in my amx m4 49L is just to sit on one side of a rock and spot enemies and discourage them from passing, so I dont really expect to do much damage. But I kept being defeated by gold last night, I was hit by more gold than I normally am. Is this because Saturday night, or are people try harding for some other reason like having just claimed the *5 boosters on tank rewards or something ?
malachi I know that activating boosters can make you keen for a win and rush your games, also people tend to try to boost their rubbish tanks, so I know these things can have an effect. However I have 2 skills on my amx already and bounty stabilizers, I had clawed it back to a 52 percent win rate in it after losing the first 10 or 20 games in it when I first got from being too agressive. So it shouldnt be total garbage. And I was being patient in it. Though the aim time is so long and the gun so inaccurate that the enemy has either died or run off by the time you aim.
On a side note are there any high tier french heavies I should be bothering with at all ? I have the crew from my arl44 in it and I dont play that !
