This week’s walk, took the train to Maiden Newton and walked back to Dorchester. A very pleasant walk through very attractive countryside, a good way to spend my Birthday😊 #walking #Dorset

XM551 Sheridan on Fisherman’s Bay, best game of the week, from Thursday, using an active setup. 15 minutes of great gaming😊 #WorldofTanks

Played 11 tier 7 games, was bottom tier for every game, the new match maker is making the game very boring😬☹️ #WorldofTanks

This week’s walk to the northwest of Dorchester 8.69 miles via Charminster and Charlton Down. Nice views, but a bit tough going at times, as a lot of the footpaths have been ploughed recently. #Dorset #Walking

Probably the biggest Bramley Apple we’ve ever grown… it’s been such a good year and there are still a lot of apples on the tree so there could be a bigger one😊 #apples

Re-equipped all my tier 8 TT lights, and played a couple of games in each. Bulldog still in a different league to the others. The LHMTV is the only one I set up for maximum spotting, the rest are a balance between DPM & spotting, still some fine tuning to do. #WorldofTanks

Having fun with ColdWar mediums, from the smallest map, Liberty Falls to the largest Cao Bang😊 #WorldofTanks

Fractured Lands a “New’ halloween map… it’s Cliff with spooky stuff added👻🎃😱 #WorldofTanks

Great game in the Leopard 773, unfortunately a loss☹️ It’s strange that Liberty Falls is still in ColdWar but it kinda works🤔🤪😂 #WorldofTanks

T-44A couple of nice games in ColdWar, actually had a few games with no lights… good, but very strange 🤪😊 #WorldofTanks

Nice results from a free chest😊 #WorldofTanks

AMX 30A enjoying the good map rotation in Era1, only playing mediums, hopefully all the lights remove themselves in the first couple of minutes of YoLo madness so everyone else can have a proper game afterwards😊 #WorldofTanks

This week’s walk, to the south of Dorchester past Came wood and along the Ridgeway that overlooks Weymouth and Portland then back past Maiden Castle, at 11 miles it’s our longest yet. Very nice😊 #walking #dorset

AMX Chaffee😊 couple of nice games, thought I try an auto-loader as the reduction in DPM has less effects on them. Setup for active scouting and damage… great fun😊 #WorldofTanks

T-100 Lt nice spotting game on Malinovka. Setup for active spotting and damage, tried a passive setup with camo-net and binos but had zero success. This setup felt good😊 #WorldofTanks

T37 camo equipment options: no equipment 330m, improved concealment 310m, camo net 291m. Whether the camo net is worth while will depend on your play style. With the current game meta I’m finding it a bit cumbersome🤔

Not sure what is going on with detection and view range. My T37 has a view range of 465m and a dectectability of 310m, so the distance between them is 155m. But looking at the map my view range is only about 10% more than my detection circle, so giving me a view range of about 350m🤔 #WorldofTanks

I don’t think having +1/-1 the week before such an enormous change was a good idea, had to stop playing tier 8 after two tier 10 games, absolutely no fun. Switched to Era1, a whole session with no annoying maps and very few annoying moments😊 #WorldofTanks

Had a couple of games in the Chaffee to see how the changes have effected it… still great😊 Nice bit of stat padding😂 #WorldofTanks

Why have they added another auto-cannon light to WW2, any improvements to the quality of the game have been cancelled by introducing this tank. Had to stop playing tier 8 as every game was a YoLo fest moronic light tanks. Yet again #WorldofTanks say one thing and do another☹️

Komarin has been returned, even though it’s not very big I’ve always enjoyed this one😊 #WorldofTanks

New season lots of changes, but my favourite change… they’ve removed most of the really bad maps from Era1… 🎉🥳😊 #WorldofTanks

Fantastic session😊 only playing the TT Bulldog, 10 wins out of 11 games, for once it didn’t feel like the MM was against me. I’ve really enjoyed +1/-1 hopefully they’ll return it permanently. New skills and equipment, and a new session starts today… 😊#WorldofTanks

M24 Chaffee nice mastery game on Redshire. Three marked again😅😊 #WorldofTanks

Here’s some footage of the reworked Halo CE… very exciting 🤞😊 @floatingbellyup.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=Ov-I...

Riki makes some very good points👍 youtube.com/watch?v=pIXY...

When I’m not having fun in #WorldofTanks I do a #Halo achievement… Tank’s definitely wasn’t fun yesterday😂

Got a Kolobanov medal🥳😊 Great game, definitely snatched the victory, I couldn’t find the last TD and they had a 2% damage advantage, spent the last 5 minutes hunting it and found it, and shot it as the timer hit zero…😅😊 1/2 to see replay it the end 2/2

HMH 58 (AMX13 105) nice mastery game on Serene Coast. One of the few top tier games yesterday, had 16 games at tier 8… 10 were tier 9. I’m really not liking the new Match-Maker it’s meant to be +1/-1 not just +1🤬☹️ #WorldofTanks

HMH 58 (AMX13 105) nice game on Severogorsk. Enjoying tier 8 +1/-1 makes a huge difference to this tier, great fun… for a change😊😂

WoTc +1-1 match making test this week time to play those tier 6&8 tanks you love😊 youtube.com/watch?v=PzyP...

Another Halo MCC achievement done, as the game has 700🤪 I’ve still got only another 245 to do…😂 #Halomcc #Halo

M5 Stuart I may have been enjoying it a bit too much… 🤔😂 There may have been some bot & seal carnage involved😱😂 #WorldofTanks

M5 Stuart on Mountain Pass. Yet again the most enjoyable game of the night was at tier 4, once all the bots have been killed the real game starts 12.27 minutes of cat & mouse gameplay… great fun😊 #WorldofTanks

T-34-1 on Erlenberg, decent game playing as a light (it’s the only way a know🙄) Managed to get this one from BAD to GOOD… at least I’m heading in the right direction😂 #WorldofTanks

Chaffee on Prokhorovka. My only 4 marked tank is now down to 2 marks, the terrible march-maker and generally poor meta has reduced my win rate from all-time 59.66% to 50%… I don’t think I’ve been this unhappy with the game since 6.0☹️ #WorldofTanks

Reached a new milestone🥳🎉 the madness…🤪😂 #WorldofTanks

T-34-1 six weeks ago I started grinding this one, I had such terrible games in it I rage quit and sold it🤬 But having a tank with a red WN8 in my stats was bugging me🤪 so I’ve repurchased it and the grind is back on, though I seem to be playing it as a light…🤔😂 #WorldofTanks

Nothing to see here… ColdWar match making, there’s one OP light in Era1, so MM constantly puts them together🤬 #WorldofTanks

Nice couple of games in the M18 Hellcat, definitely one of the games Great tanks, it’s camo is insane😊 #WorldofTanks

A brand new tank in a free pirate chest🍀🧧☺️😊

M41 Bulldog on Highway, always good to get the three light tank medals: Spotter, Patrol duty & Scout This was the best I could manage at tier 8 yesterday. The only bright spot in a 💩show. #WorldofTanks

Nice results from free chests😊 #WorldofTanks

M5 Stuart nice mastery game on kasserine, it might only be tier 4 but it was a tier 5 game and no bots, plenty of good players, I saw two 3 marked T67’s, lasted just over ten minutes… if only higher tiers could be as good🤔😂 #WorldofTanks

Back in WW2 (ColdWar during the week is just terrible) playing my favourite lights, just having fun and stat-padding… 😊😂 #WorldofTanks

T49 nice spotting game on Erlenberg, my 700th Scout medal😊 #WorldofTanks

Don’t get many draws in WoTc nowadays, a great 15 minute game, couldn’t get the last shot in before the time ran out… another 20 seconds is all I needed🤔😬😂 #WorldofTanks

This morning’s walk to the north of Dorchester😊 #Dorset #walking

A couple of nice games in the Chaffee, I’ve give up with WW2 due to the terrible match-making, just having fun in ColdWar😊 #WorldofTanks

A couple of nice games in the ColdWar Centurion Mkll I’m using the 17 pdr stock gun as I seem to be mostly fighting YoLo’ing lights🤔 #WorldofTanks
