Well, if I didn't rage quit last night, I'm not sure if I ever
will. I was running with Husky Coach and it was truly brutal.
If I had to guess, I'd say we played about 15 games and were
probably 3-12. Fortunately, Joe the Frogman, seemed to turn our
luck around. After he jumped in, we won about five or six in a
row.

I've seen some rage quit activity going on of late. I'd rather
wait out the battle conclusion and then let people know I was
taking a break. Not that I have or would ever rage quit. I have
fun win, lose or draw.

I have certainly quit from frustration, but only after my match
was over and I make a point of telling the party I'm signing
off...

Same here. Its a game. Yes it can be frustrating from time to
time, but in the end its just a game. If it gets your blood
pressure up, then let everyone know you are taking a break. If
I'm breaking or heading of to the land of nod (ZZZ time)
sometimes (not always) I try and find another OFF'r who not
platooning and see if I can get them to join the platoon. That
way I'm replacing myself so the fun can continue. Will try and
make that a habit going forward.

I did rage-sell one time. I will leave up to the rest of the
clan to figure out what tank it was.....

Hey, this is very exciting stuff though....I hope to get on some
7 man platoons with you all this week....the wrath of wife
permitting!
I am so interested in whether I am going to love or hate the
KV-2...I am all set on XP...will get it the minute I log on.
It is also cool that you can get, what is touted to be, the best
Tier VII Russian arty from the KV-2 (the S-51). So not a lot of
grinding.
Lastly, it seems they have created a way that players cannot
spam with the radial dial anymore (a "cool-down")
(Also, the AT15A and the Sexton I will be available as direct
purchases from the British Tech tree)

I, for one, loathe game chat. Just because the matching
platoons on our teams will have more members, doesn't mean
they'll be any less foolish. I envision the other platoons'
members saying things like, "Don't tell me how to play", blah,
blah and/or there is always the enjoyable blaring rap music in
the background. I won't say it will never happen, but I think
it will be a rare occurrence when we'll get another platoon that
is willing to work in concert with ours. They don't do it now
in three man platoons, why would it be any different for seven?
And if we're not working together, the cross-talk is just going
to be annoying.
