Few more battles until 2k with my loveable B1...It is wrong to get emotionally attach to a tank and giggling like a girl every time I think of it?

That tank emotionally help me get back into WOT, I feel bad when it first came out, everyone whine how bad it is and rage in the chat and the forum, it is like a lost puppy but with three legs and one eye. They wanted a low tier heavy but it was not what they have in mind. Shame into a little corner just because it is different and new, people hate changes.

While in closed beta, the little B1 just needed someone to play with, it was different and unique; other tankers saw that and poke fun of it. "That isn't a gun, this is" tankers would forcefully post thread and make the B1 examine closely at every other guns "This is what a real gun look like." Just as he thought the nightmare was over, it came to realize other tank have no armor and showing their gun proudly while he was all cover up with little to show.

The B1 thought it gun was difference, was unique, but no, it gun was small, weak and could not stand up straight like every other tank. The tanker just watch and they finally stood up and demand to give the B1 a better gun. The Game Designer does not want this to happen but they force B1 to give all the guns a little taste. Some were big,small, and some could not shoot at all. The B1 even thought it was cute that something tiny as the PZIII can shoot such a huge load with his derp. After that events, it dream that it will growth into a bigger, better and a gun that could get back in the battle as fast as possible after shooting it load.

Eventually, the B1 went open beta, and was expose for everyone to play with it. It was so excited to play with all the tanker but they would either sell him back or lock it in the garage and say mean stuff to it “Why couldn’t you be like your brother BDR, you are useless and no need in this game”. No one actually give it a chance. Tankers realize that his gun does not progress significantly like every other tank. B1 guns barely change, it upgraded gun was much better, but it was too small and too little damage came out of it to be tasteful. It does not help that is was chubby too. It was berated, berated and berated every single day on the forum, but the B1 was strong, the game designer believe it was special “ We don’t care what everyone think anymore, The B1 is happy with it gun even if it shot are too little to make a mess of anyone” .

I eventually take a look to see what the fuss, I heard about this poor little tank was hated so much that they either send it back or just yell at it. The B1 was traumatized and insecure about it guns that it was force to put some more armor on it. I then evaluate it profile, charts and his physical status. Moreover, I tell myself that, it could not be that bad. I, eventually, bought the tank into my garage and gave it a vent, you should see the look of the B1, even though we never play it before, and it was so excited to get inside the battle. I was determining to speak for everyone that size of the gun does not matter if your shot can make a mess.

I stare at it for a while but eventually have the courage to use it in battle.After the battle it is done, I think to me “What was that? I am flatter that it can shoot that quickly but barely anything came out of that gun. The gun it was slow, lethargic and a giant target for other tank to shoot it load on”. However, I came to realize that this is my first battle; I need to give it time and be patient. I just feel so bad that every other tank just used it rather than develop an actual relationship. I just could not do that to it, I try but it was just so sad. After several battle I was able to get the top guns, while it is not too bad, it not something I would show and share with my tanker friends. Even though good DPM gun tend to be bad at penetration, this one wasn’t at all, it can actual deal damage and take a beating like a good tank since other tank just don’t have any armor at all.

After several months, it just does not feel the same anymore you know. It like you are so excited to try out every tank, but eventually you settle with one. However, I make a mistake and settle with the B1. All I done was force myself to like it. The break up was a mess, I can’t even take back my own vent unless I use gold and can only keep less than half of the money? I am the one that put all the effort in this but whatever; I am not in the mood to talk about it.

I pick up it big brother BDR, and wow was he huge and thick. Oh my, I just could not stop playing with the BDR; even though it does not shoot quite as quick but oh jeez the mess it made was just so delicious. Two hundred forty average damage? Oh, I could not stop myself, I quickly fall in love with it, and I gave it everything, even the Spall Liner.

Though it just does not feel the same, I feel as if the BDR can play by anyone and does not need me at all, after all everyone recommend it. We eventually became distance but I learned my lesson last time and was able to take all my equipment back. I actually feel bad that I sold the B1, oh, I am sorry baby, I am so sorry. I know you are not perfect, you don’t have the best gun, or the best armor but you always made me feel proud that I own you, that I take care of you and growth you this big to be able to take on the KV-1. I try and not get as clingy but it is hard you know when you love something.

tl;dr:Wrote this thing during my 36 hours insomnia. Feel emotionally connected to the B1 ,make love to it, cheated with BDR ,feel awful,said sorry and now in a stable relationship.
