DeviouslyCursed:  No, LOL

churchill50: Correct, Bounty and Bond Equipment do not get the slot bonus. However, even without the slot bonus, they still provide a higher bonus than Standard Equipment.

DeviouslyCursed:  I know that, and you know that, and anyone that read the patent and understood it knows that. The problem is...

DeviouslyCursed:  Prove it doesn't concern me, the burden of proof is on you.

DeviouslyCursed:  I think you missed what I meant. Stats from seal clubbing are not directly comparable to higher tier stats. For example, 60% win rate seal clubber is actually worse than a 52% win rate tier 10 player. You want to claim to be good you better at least be getting 65-70% win rates while clubbing. Even then you better be careful before talking smack to a solid 53-55% tier 10 player, because their is still a good chance they are the better player. Seal clubbers get most of their wins because they are using superior tanks, crew, etc, than the other players in their matches. Superior knowledge plus superior tanks is what gets you 65%+

DeviouslyCursed:  You can't possibly be this dumb to think the burden of proof is on others and not the people who say the game is rigged. Can you?

DeviouslyCursed:  Actually, the absence of streaks would strongly suggest that the other game is rigged. Though it doesn't matter, because I would bet anything the numbers and their frequency you are citing for both games are not accurate.

1LT_Dwayne:  Anyway I'll you one last question. Why do we need 4 types of ammo?

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed:  His response was to Neato, but he did exactly what is typical. "Waaah, he insulted me!" And if you have no evidence, then your position should be the default, which is "It is not rigged until it is proven otherwise." Can you prove fairies aren't real? Didn't think so. The complete absence of evidence something exists, is the proof that it does not. Yes, that position can change. Do you know what changes the position that something does not exist or isn't real to the position that it does exist or is real? Actual good evidence.

1LT_Dwayne:  Yes its my complain. How are you gonna be able to always keep you turret always straight to the WZ-111? You just need to turn your turret 10-15 degree and all your armor is gone and the cupola is a weak spot. And for the speed governor its only 10% while premium rounds increases your pen by 30-40%. It also damage your engine and you lose power over time. I tried to look at your profil on wotlabs but it seems you don't want us to see how many op tanks you play. That's also the reason you always see the same tanks over and over even if there are over 800 tanks in this game.

Elias_K_Grodin: Asian-themed Customizations are now available in the Premium Shop! The "Zhongkui" 2D Style is inspired by a legend of a ghost vanquisher, while the "Asian Delights" Camouflage features the finers of Asian cuisine—sushi rolls, shrimp nigiri, steamed buns, and Korean corn dogs. These non-historical elements are for all vehicles and are available in the bundles listed here!

1LT_Dwayne:  Even with cover and angled there are some tanks that can press the #2 key and pen the frontal armor. Take for example the WZ-111G FT vs the AE Phase 1. What's the point of the AE Phase 1 turret in that case? Why wouldn't the AE Phase 1 press a key to get more speed or something that can help counter that? I know it wouldn't make any sense but this is the same for premium round. In my opinion WG should remove all premium rounds and make the premium time mandatory for everyone. They could even increase the price a bit to compensate for the lost.

DeviouslyCursed:  I don't complain about seal clubbers, but I do call them out when they act all superior to people with lower stats that play higher tier. Or just act all superior/ultra-knowledgeable in general. But complaining about seal clubbers when you are doing the same thing is just stupid.

DeviouslyCursed:  So Neato is the reason the cherries from my tree keep disappearing!

DeviouslyCursed:  Doesn't matter why you are there, you are there. And complaining about others that are there. Seriously?

DeviouslyCursed: You have 1500 battles in tier 2, dude. Glass houses...  pot/kettle....

DeviouslyCursed: I was crashing several times on Ruinberg, every time I played it.  I wasn't the only one, as I have seen enemies stop moving/responding also. It was the only map I was having issues with. I did get errors trying to patch the last time, and got errors several times trying to fix the game with integrity check. It finally went through, so hopefully won't happen anymore.

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed:  They also had events where they clearly stated once you pick a team you can't change it, but...

DeviouslyCursed:  Intelligent thinking would reveal that large team size and random MM does exactly what you describe, with no effort on their part. Guess what would happen if team size were changed to 20? Or reduced to 10? Also, I think you missed the part where there is no indication that part of the patent was ever implemented.

DeviouslyCursed: People have been calling for Japanese TDs. That's where I would place my bets.

DeviouslyCursed: Oh wonderful "The Great Patent" rears it's ugly head again. If you quote this patent as proof of rigging, or think the patent involves rigging the game for wins and losses for players, you are a complete moron. You don't understand what it says. You don't understand what it would actually do. This is why people call you an idiot, because you completely lack the ability to think things through. I fully expect most of you who this applies to won't read past this. Part because you won't understand the rest anyway, and part because the same deficiency in thinking that prevents you from understanding the patent, also prevents you from ignoring insults. You get all butthurt and what little thinking capacity you did have is now gone. Go ahead, prove me right. But if you actually want to learn... The most important thing to realize: Higher battle tier for your tank means you are bottom tier in the match. Lower battle tier for your tank means you are top tier in the fight. The part of the patent you are quoting is stating that as a person starts winning more battles, the battle tier goes up; ie they are more likely to be placed in the max battle tier for their tank. That means they will be bottom tier tank more often in the fight. If you are losing and keep losing, you are more likely to be placed in a low battle tier for your tank, so therefore be top tier more often. So, what is the problem with this and why wasn't it implemented? Easy: It would work for a good player, but would have the opposite effect for a bad player. Good players win more when they are top tier because they can carry. Being placed top tier after losing will help them win. Being bottom tier is harder to carry, so being placed bottom tier after winning a lot would work also as they will win less of these matches. But bad players don't work that way. Bad players as top tier are more likely to lose. What's the worst situation you can have when you look at the skill for your team? Tomatoes at the top. Bad news. So under the patent, bad players would keep getting placed top tier in battles, and then they'd keep losing and therefore be even more likely to be placed top tier, and still keep losing. The patent has the opposite effect on them. Same thing with being bottom tier. Of the games they do win it is more likely when they are in bottom tier because the team is not relying on them to be a factor. Someone at WG noticed this issue, or maybe they just decided never to implement it, but it is not in the game. It has never been as far as I can tell. When I heard about it I kept track of my games over many days, and win streak, loss streak, or something in the middle, it didn't matter. I was still bottom roughly 1/3, top 1/3, and middle 1/3. WG did say they had something where if you were bottom tier a lot the MM would start trying to place you middle or top,  and vice versa, as you were supposed to have roughly 1/3 games each top/middle/bottom. This definitely went away with templates though, and may have gone away even before that. TL/DR : There is nothing in the patent about manipulating games to cause wins or losses. If you think otherwise, it is because you have some serious intellectual deficiencies. It's probably best you leave the thinking and important decisions to others in your life.

Jaguarz:  My point, whether you intentionally made it on the sly with the caveat "legally", was that there are various less than legal avenues open for Wargaming and other companies to exert pressure on people like Wargamings cack handed attempts with that muppet Sir Foch and some producer over at War Thunder took a guys youtube channel hostage with fake DMCAs. I accuse you of nothing, I infer that wargaming has proven themselves to be less than well behaved.

churchill50:  Bounty equipment and standard equipment can be demounted for 10 gold or a demounting kit.Bond equipment can only be demounted for 200 bonds. You can't use a demounting kit on it.

1LT_Dwayne:  Do I need to draw you a picture? If you're playing a slow heavy you will get spotted and get hit. Now if someone is facing him and can't pen him with standard round he can change to premium. What does the heavy have? Nothing.

1LT_Dwayne: Why do you assume that everyone hate gambling? You still have more value in loot boxes than you would have in normal times. And please don't tell me you need every tanks in the game.

1LT_Dwayne:  Ok but can I press #4 and have 30-40% more speed? I wouldn't mind paying 10k credits each time I press it. Put aside this non-sense why would we rely more on speed, view range or gun handling? From where did you get this? I want to remind you that this is a game and it's suppose to be balanced.

churchill50: No, the amount of ammo you carry doesn't affect your chances of being ammo-racked. That does work in War Thunder, but not in WoT.

churchill50: It has nothing to do with any On-Track. You've just received enough blueprints to research the S-51 fully.

Einzelganger7:    Now that you mention it, you're right. Most tier 10 German tanks already have a 3D style, though is kind of weird almost all of them are only obtained for real money, either from the christmas lootboxes or from the halloween event offers. The only one that was accessible to everyone was the Black Market 3D style for the E-50 M, I guess German stuff sells well and this is why they always make them available for real money. lol

p.s: that is quite a nice list of the tanks with and without 3D style so I am going to save it, thank you!

DeviouslyCursed: Wonder how long before we see "Only 7 tickets? If I had known that, I would have gotten 'X' reward instead of 'Y',  now I am 1 ticket short of getting 'Z' and I really want 'Z'! This is all WG's fault!"

1LT_Dwayne: Yes if you see it that way I agree. I was wrong because I was just thinking that it's not fair to lose 30-40% of your armor effectiveness with one click but there is nothing for other aspects like making enemy tanks losing 30% of their view range, speed, or gun handling.

Jaguarz:  To troll a little here, thats a nice little caveat there in the use of the word "legally", some of them thought that the spurious use of copyright strikes was a pro wheeze once upon a time, who knows what else they have come up with....

churchill50:  You make far too good a point... 

Jaguarz:  They havent given up yet, it will be back and it will fail again because at the core of it all is nothing more than an obvious cash grab and its not even the company with eyes on making the grab, its the current development team who are jealous that their predecessors made bank when WOT became a money printing machine To top it all off, crew 2.0 is literally nothing more than the abandoned World of Warships Paragon System/Naval Training Center which they were unable to foist on the WoWS players, I can only assume one dev is being passed around the offices doing nothing but pushing this idea telling his co-workers its how they will get rich then all they see is the $$$ and overlook the realities.

churchill50:  Phew, I was worried we wouldn't see any typical forum responses on this thread...Thanks for the save!

churchill50: Hello everyone, I've seen this posted a couple of times already, so I thought I would make a PSA post. Per the article on the 11th Anniversary gifts:https://worldoftanks...ummer-presents/ This event runs for 10 days (August 12th through August 23rd, but the last day you can get the gift tickets is August 22nd).However, you only receive 7 tickets + 7 days of premium total. To quote the article: " Accordingly, for the entire Summer Presents period, you can get seven days of WoT Premium Account and seven Gift Tickets (for your seven first logins)."This means that you can miss any 3 days during the event. As long as you sign in on 7 out of the 10 days, you'll get all of the rewards. Now for the PSA part:As people are finding out today, this means that if you've signed in every day so far in the event, you received your 7th, and last, ticket yesterday. You won't receive any more tickets by signing in from here on out. I hope that clears things up for people! churchill50

churchill50: As I posted in another thread:Have you signed in every day for the birthday ticket so far OP?You could only get 7 total tickets during the 10 days the event was open, so if you've signed in every day so far, yesterday you would have received your last ticket.

The_Chieftain: It seems to me that the best 'objective killers' are the autoloaders. Defending teams rarely leave anyone to shoot at the guns for long, so there's something to be said for simply emptying a magazine, and if you explode, well, at least you took a serious chunk out that someone else could finish off.

The_Chieftain:  Which reminds me, I really need to re-watch Battle: Los Angeles... Wonder if I could get wife to watch Cowboys and Aliens. I remember enjoying that back when it came out, never did get the 'hate' for it, as it were.
