TeriyakiTanker: Yes seriously, why don't you read the original post of the thread, pasted below for people like you who like to lie "Going to take a break for a bit and boycott this game because of what Russia is doing. If you like the game please continue to play. However, try not  to put money in their pockets for a bit." No where did the original poster say Belarus was not a separate country, and btw I never said it wasn't either.  People like you make up lies about things and then when you get called out for it just keep making more stuff up.  The point of the thread is not now or when it started about Belarus being a separate country.  So keep spreading your lies, and yes when you purposefully spread lies, like you did, to excuse a fascist dictatorship that invades a sovereign country I am going to call you out for being the fascist scumbag that you are.

TeriyakiTanker: Listen stupid that isn't what I said.  I was very clear that Belarus is a puppet of Russia, which it is.  Your problem is your a fascist scumbag who peddles lies.  Belarus was involved in the invasion.  Maybe you should pay some attention.  But you are a dishonest liar so you won't.

TeriyakiTanker: LOL..... obviously if Russian soldiers weren't in the Ukraine then Ukrainian civilians wouldn't be shooting them..... of course people like you seem to forget that.  Always nice to see the fascist authoritarian fanboys come out and celebrate the invasion of another country.  Keep up the class act.

TeriyakiTanker: You are completely ridiculous, that is not like that at all.  Belarus is a puppet of Russia and allowed Russia to stage troops for the invasion in their country.  So not the same at all.  If someone wants to boycott this game over that more power to them.

For more information on the changes click HERE. Main ChangesThe visuals and sound effects of shots, hits, and reloading for guns of the same type have been adjusted—they are now the same (gun parameters remain unchanged). Map ChangesErlenberg Map Improvements The Encounter Battle mode has been removed due to a strong imbalance of the sides. Balance changes have been made to Assault and Standard Battles to balance the capabilities of the teams. Terrain on positions in square E5 is now playable. A part of a building has been removed to increase interaction between the teams in square F6.

A position with a bunker in square H6 for the lower team has been added to facilitate control of the field and the passage in the town similarly to the position of the upper team. The terrain at the entrance to the town (in square G6) for the lower team, as well as for the attackers in Assault Battles, has been improved to make entry more convenient. In square F6, a pile of debris has been added to cover vehicles from opponents driving uphill. Driving through the ruins in square F5 is now more comfortable. The defensive position in the town (in square F7) for the lower team has been improved. Several trees in square C6 have been removed because they allowed opponents to fire at the lower team without being spotted. The terrain of the central entrance to the town in square F5 has been changed to provide cover for the lower base team. The location of the spawn points in Assault Battles has been changed. The attacking team can better control most of the map. In Assault Battles, the location of the base has been moved a little closer to the attacking team.

Battle Pass Points can be earned even without selecting a Chapter. Later, they will be automatically invested in the progress of the selected Chapter. New unique crew members, 2D styles, decals, and progressive styles have been added. For those who complete all three Chapters, a new section of the in-game Store will unlock, where players will be able to purchase various items for Battle Pass Points. Now players will continue to earn Points even after completing all Chapters of Battle Pass. The reward selection screen has been improved and the process for receiving rewards has been simplified further. The "Items for Tokens" section of the in-game Store has been updated.

Fixed the issue of the Marks of Excellence being incorrectly displayed on the Rhyolite 3D style. Fixed the issue of the "Assistance in destroying" tooltip on the Battle Results screen using the radio operator icon instead of the assistance icon. Fixed the issue of the equipment, ammo, and consumables panel remaining locked after the Ready status in the Special Battles window has been canceled. Known IssuesIn some cases, the sequence of events in the damage log is distorted. In some cases, falling trees fall through the terrain. Upon successful completion of the Alliance-14 mission during the Chimera operation, the failed mission icon is displayed after the battle.

On high graphics settings, when switching to the Sniper mode and zooming in on foliage, the FPS rate decreases. The icon of ammo rack detonation is repeatedly displayed above vehicles destroyed beyond the draw circle when such vehicles enter the player's draw circle radius.

The_Chieftain: Thank you, Black Stealth, but it's to be said, Wargaming have been the only company to appreciate my qualities!

TeriyakiTanker: Yes you are extremely stupid because the Ukraine is absolutely not aligned with NATO and is not a member of NATO in any way shape or form.  Which means that no NATO country is under any treaty obligation to defend the Ukraine which is why Russia is basically free to do what they want with the Ukraine. So yeah you seem pretty stupid actually.

DomoSapien: letting it slide bc the joke was innocent enough but let's keep this thread about test server and not politics, please <3

DomoSapien: Personally I don't think I would enjoy playing Grand Battles exclusively on my tier X's but I do agree that I would like to see Tier X grand battles a lot more often. Feels like it happens very rarely for me nowadays and I genuinely enjoy playing them. Having tier X being limited to the few GB maps available however would be kind of a drag, plus certain vehicles are far better suited for GB than randoms, and vice versa. 
Here's a +1 for the suggestion because I want more Grand Battles in my life

DomoSapien: Huge shoutout to everyone who submitted feedback! I appreciate you.

I'll be giving away 2 General Frost styles, and those winners will be selected by next Tuesday at the latest (I'm shooting for having those out by this Friday but I'm moving this weekend and prior experience tells me that will likely be a bigger undertaking than I anticipated. It always is.)

It always is.)

Jaguarz:  Thats right, over 45 games in a bad tank not 3000 in an OP one, and Im the first to admit Im far from a good heavy player, its my least played (real) class by far but hey, you know what, 56% in Pz7 over 200 games, 64% in Obj 260, 68% in AE... Yeah Im having a look at my 60% overall, it could be better for sure but you know, Im still learning and improving. 

Jaguarz:  Heres my sig just for you, apparantly you dont know how stats work, but let me know which part of my stats are worse than Corvette_dude aka Extra_Spicy  

Jaguarz:  Im fascinated as to what meaningful things you are missing out on prowling the forums on a shill account, whats your main pray tell? Corvette_dude is it?

TeriyakiTanker: Because the dude is a liar, its the obvious answer.

TeriyakiTanker: If it is the expected response please show the link!

churchill50: You can look that up yourself here: https://tanks.gg/list/stats The highest DPM tanks are:Tier 10: BadgerTier 9: TortoiseTier 8: TurtleTier 7: ISU-122S/SU-152 (with the 122mm gun)Tier 6: Jagdpanzer IVTier 5: Pz IV H (with the 10.5cm gun with AP/HEAT)Tier 4: Hetzer (with the 10.5cm gun with AP/HEAT)Tier 3: Type 91Tier 2: T18Tier 1: L.Tr.

TeriyakiTanker: Big difference between gobbling up some territory in an unaligned country and going to war with NATO.  If you don't understand that you are just stupid.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!  As the title suggests, I am in desperate need of some tunes to throw listen to while I log some hours in my mobile boom boom room.  I note that there are many players that post youtube links with great soundtracks.  What are you listening to when you are bouncing players back to the garage?

churchill50:  Typo. He meant reset account.You can do a one-time reset of your account. All your stats are wiped, and most of your tanks are gone. You only keep some reward/special tanks if I remember correctly.

churchill50:  Well, at least we know who corvette_dude's alt is. I just wonder if he had to pay someone else to create an alt account for him...

churchill50:  He was pointing out that noone who performs at that level in the 279(e) actually has a chance of getting a 279(e) unless they pay someone else to grind it out for them.But apparently you missed that point...

churchill50:  It was C-I-S. They also had 17 players removed from the leaderboards as well.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! A number of changes to the Outpost map familiar from the Recon Mission mode are planned on the Supertest servers.  Before/After This area on the medium tank direction was almost never used by players.Due to the difficulty of having pressure in this direction, it was decided to create additional positions that would allow developing the attack of medium tanks that won the direction.  Before/After Added cover from fire from the medium tank direction for light tanks.  Before/ After The pile of stones has been removed to simplify vehicle movement (as well as on the other side).  Before/After A rock that blocked line of fire has been lowered.  Before/AfterSome of the barricades that prevented players from moving to the center of the map have been removed.  Before/After The slope has been extended and emphasized by the improved 3D geometry. A rock has also been added to aid with retreat.  Before/After Before/After The shape of the structure has been changed to minimize fire from the fortress.  Before/After The terrain level has been lowered to create a connection between the fortress and the heavy tank direction (as well as on the other side).  The terrain has been smoothed out. Now, with a certain amount of skill, light tanks can get to the fortress through the center.This passage allows you to gain an advantage in battle, but it is very dangerous.The position of the fortress walls has been reworked to equalize the opportunities for both sides.

Jaguarz:  Life didnt used to be a participation trophy, now it is.

1LT_Dwayne: I don't believe this would be the case. It happens enough frequently and they reply with the micros with the same exact time regardless of the players and it also appears that they are not blue nor purple players but sub 48% wr.

1LT_Dwayne: Yes I get it but what I mean is the reply is pretty fast, like not even 1 sec from when I asked for help and it also look like it's the exact same amount of time. My tinfoil hat tells me they are bots that just auto reply whatever you ask but I might be wrong.

1LT_Dwayne: I can deal with their speed but one thing I can't stand is their turning radius. It defies physics and it's completely ugly. When they tip over at slow speed and they still get back on wheels is also ugly.

1LT_Dwayne: I noticed that sometimes when I ask a specific player by using the macro "I need help" they reply instantly "alright" or something similar. It looks strange because in the heat of the battle I don't thing someone can reply that fast especially with the number of times it happens. Seems to be an auto response. Is there something I don't know here? I know there is a key to reply directly without having to select the type of macro you want but still look strange how fast they reply.

1LT_Dwayne: I don't know what to say to you. I just watched the replay and I know I've seen way worst battle than this and the underdog team still won. I mean the ones where it's like 13-5 and some player destroy all what's left.
