[gpc_4 581]

DHO-X Information and Guidelines [from the Welcome to DHO thread, http://dadshideout.com/IPS/index.php?/topic/15588-welcome-to-dho-rules-discord-leadership/ ]

DHO-X's mission is to assemble the community's one hundred most active, experienced, and skilled tankers to participate in organized, tier X game play. We play with a competitive yet casual spirit, and balance Clan Wars with our real life family responsibilities.

Membership Guidelines:

1. Have one tier X that is commonly used in CW (see below).

2. Play WoT regularly; multiple times per week or 100+ battles.

3. Play CW and Advances when online with Discord communications setup (including push-to-talk).

4. Be willing to follow directions during team based activities.

5. Have at least 7500 battles.

6. Tankers with a WoT Personal Rating (PR) above 5,000 will be given preference.

Members wishing to join DHO-X need to understand the responsibility they are undertaking. If your level of activity drops below accepted requirements, for whatever reason, you can be asked to transfer to another clan or dropped.

Discord (http://www.discord.gg/YKpADaU) required during clan activities and strongly recommended during all gaming activity.

 

 

Clan War Tank Recommendations [revising the old thread, http://dadshideout.com/IPS/index.php?/topic/14750-cwsh-tank-recommendations/#comments ]

Reward/Mission Tanks

The following are reward/mission tanks and you will never be expected to have them. However, if you do have one then expect to be our callers’ best friend and get into a lot of CW battles.

1. T95/FV4201 Chieftain, replaces fast heavy and Super Conqueror.

2. Object 279 early, super heavy/general game destroyer.

3. Object 260, replaces fast heavy.

4. Object 907, replaces Object 140.

 

Prime DHO-X Clan War Tanks

If you want to be viable in essentially all of DHO-X CWs then you’ll need a fast heavy and an Object 140.

1. Fast Heavy: Object 277, WZ-111 model 5A.

2. Object 140.

 

Situational/Map/Call/Specialist Tanks

These tanks can be called on for a variety of reasons, but if you only have a few of these tanks expect to miss out on many CW battles. A few tankers may specialize in these tanks but it is expected that they be very proficient in their use and have great crews. If you want battles, get a fast heavy and Object 140 first.

Light Tanks: Panhard EBR 105 (Mad Max scouting), T-100 LT (conventional scouting).

Medium Tanks: Batchat 25t (scouting and clip potential).

Heavy Tanks: Maus (city brawling), Super Conqueror (ridgeline/DPM fights), IS-7 (old school fast heavy)

Tank Destroyers: STRV 103B (sniping), T110E3 (brawls, area denial), Object 268 version 4 (armor/alpha for fast pushes).

SPGs: Conqueror Gun Carriage (scumbaggery).

Pretty solid post 

Just the B-C im not that sure like do we even use them anymore or have really good driver/strats for them?

[Mykk 211]

ScHwErV uses one on Karelia. The driver sucked, but he tried...

You can remove the part about being removed after 28 days of inactivity. I'll kick whenever the hell I want.

What about #1? Like have a Prime tank and single Specialist tank. Or something similar.

Mention push to talk settings, to avoid the heavy breathers? Mention our discord rules or maybe that's redundant

Maybe?

However, I was considering those more in the general Welcome to DHO thread.

[ScHwErV 20]

I'm a big fan of the Batchat 25t, it's combat capacity allows it to not just be a sniper, but also deal a good amount of damage when they can get around on a flank.  I'll call for it on a lot of my strats.  We also have some good bat players, so it's something I'll continue to call for.

Heavies - For me, most of my strats are going to focus on the 277/5a/Chieftan.  Sometimes a map will call for an IS7 or Super Conq, but mostly I'm wanting faster heavies. 

TDs - I really like the DPM and accuracy of the STRV, so that gets a lot of play, but I'll also use the T110e3 and the T110e4 in places to hold a line.  If we're doing advances and Murovanka is in the lineup, be ready for some deathstar action.

Mediums - For Meds it's mostly going to be 907/140, though honestly the 277 is as fast as those, so I've been taking more heavies than meds lately.  Sometimes if I need accuracy from a med, I'll call for a Leo 1, but that's rare. 

Scouts - For lights it depends on the map, but either the EBR or the T100.  My T100 has 70 meters more view range than most EBRs, so if I want vision, I'm going with the T100.  I'll also use the Bat in places where folks would normally put a light because I want that clip capacity.

Arty - broken mechanic that should be removed from the game, but if I need one it's usually the CGC unless it's wide open then I'll go something faster shooting like the 261 or 53/55.

===============================

Before I start this next part I want to make this disclaimer.   The following is just my opinion and how I see things.  These thoughts don't represent DHO-X in any way so I don't want anyone getting all butthurt and quitting because of something I said here.

I think one of the things as a caller that's the most frustrating is when we try to put together advances, skirmishes or even clan wars and we see 30+ people online at the time but we can barely get enough people to run organized play.  If you're grinding something, we all get that, absolutely everyone does it from time to time.  But if you're one of the guys who's constantly grinding something and never participates in the organized stuff, you really belong in DHO and not DHO-X.  It really does seem to be the same people over and over and I just don't get it.  I'm not sure how to codify that into a policy, but as a caller, that's one thing that drives me batty and I know it does with other callers as well.

Also, just participation in Discord.  I've been on some nights where I'm the only one in channel but there are 25 guys online.  Damnit I shower every day, I play this game because I like playing with people and the camaraderie that goes along with it.  If you're one of those who's always online but never in Discord, again maybe another DHO clan is a better place for you.

I've probably pissed off enough people, I'm out for now.
