Of course I don't plat with him anymore now, I can't afford being around all the time to help him (had thesis project at the time, so screw him and more time on my thesis). And to be completely honest (not so much fair perhaps), guy can be pretty dim and a bit handful as a wingman. Had a game at Rockfield platooned up together in our Ankos where he very nearly get himself killed and screwed us over. Fortunately, the enemy wasn't that much brighter themselves, and the friendly Churchill ran interference against an SU-100 (ballsy move) allowing us to snipe and kill him and win the GD game. Another time in the Pz 38(t) with him, he was pretty slow to react to battlefield conditions. We were on Fort Despair pushing from the ruins area where he still remain on the defensive. I, on the other hand was leading the charge and managed to outflank the opfor team. I helped contributing to the fight, helped carry our own butts, walked away with a Top Gun. Next thing I know, that guy turned salty and in chat slammed me for killing more and performing better than him (we had around 30+ platoon fights at that time). I simply told him "Improve yourself", but my inner reaction would've been "D'oh, you asked a fellow who had played Tier I-V extensively and played Tier VI upwards on regular basis to come plat with you in Tier II-IV fights. What did you think was going to happen, my man?"
To cut the long story short, I had successes improving my performance in most of those Tier II-IV tanks, and now they need to go for they had overextended their welcome. Time to turn credits from those tanks into a Jackson and see how the Jackson goes.

I thought the boxtank was pretty awful to begin with
. Tall and as big as a broadside barn, tin can armor, but with gun that really hurts. Of course, when said boxtank is center of attention it dissolves pretty quickly unless his teammates are good.
