Jaguarz: I like the whole "anyone who hasnt said they hate it means they love it to infinity and beyond" mentality of these desperate for a sack of cash development team.

Jaguarz:  I wonder if it was large scale mission farming for paid 279e missions, I cant imagine doing this just for stats.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Registration for the tournament starts on 7Aug2021 so mark your calendar so you don't miss out on possible prizes of 2.5K gold. This tournament is for the US and Canadian residents (excluding Quebec) only sadly due to complications with the COVID-19 virus. More information including other important dates can be found HERE.

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah, like segregation. What a hoot that was. And the first part works both ways. Since they are already matching battles, you shouldn't be complaining. There's no need to match them further. We all know the only thing that will make most of the whiners happy is a PvE mode where they can win 70%+ of their battles. That way they will all get to be that super general they just know they are, but the hateful MM just keeps pushing them down.

DeviouslyCursed:  So why is the one guy still in your clan?

DeviouslyCursed:  There something wrong/illegal about farming bots on SA server? No one takes stats under tier 8 seriously. Who cares what and where people play low tier? It's not cheating. The video is clear cheating. Everyone send the pricks some IMs before they change their names.

Jaguarz: Theres a reason why all the "rare" and desirable tanks have been going on sale in a glut recently and its because the specter of crew 2.0 is looming and wallets have been reigned in so they are trying to bait people to spend so as to pretend business as usual, hell, they even sold the Type 59 again.

Jaguarz: Well it seems he was nuked on the 28th on wot-life which was 2 days after the video went up on youtube so I guess the moral of the story is WHNA actually do ban people and take action when necessary...

Jaguarz: Its a great tank and does everything you could want it to, it just cant do it all at the same time which upsets people who are too dumb or lazy to be able to press a button in order to work its mechanism. Even if you never use its toggle its still a middle of the road t9 medium

Jaguarz: 10/10 for intro alone and the recorder music

Jaguarz:  Some days you are the hammer, some days the nail, I has a 20 game win streak once and then just stopped playing that day before it collapsed and have suffered with sub 30% win days

Elias_K_Grodin: There is a storm approaching the battlefield, and it is the French Tier VIII Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque medium tank! The French word "bourrasque" refers to a sudden, violent wind, and like its namesake, the Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque is as swift and fierce as a hurricane. This medium tank boasts excellent mobility and accelerates quickly. This allows the medium to rapidly change positions and easily get behind unsuspecting enemies. It also comes with the Special 3D Style, the "1998 ZZ 10". This awesome 3D Style contains a few French-flavored secrets. Can you find them all? Get the "stormy" details here!

Draschel:  KV2 is better in more experienced hands because of the +100 DPM and considerably better gun control. It has huge surprise factor. People EXPECT the 152 ML10, and are surprised by the 107, and it turns nasty. T150 has better movement dispersion, but by .01 point which is meaningless whereas the turret traverse dispersion is woeful, 25% worse. And on top of that, KV2 self-curbs its dispersion by inherently having slower traverse to begin with. So KV2 in defensive use is more often ready to fire. The no cupola turret is also cool. T150 is better in newer players hands as the armor and HP works for them, where they frequently find themselves getting shot at. But this isn't a debate over KV2 vs T150, its that rather KV2 is still just fine. KV2 has more DPM than ARL44 with the broken 330 damage APCR 

Draschel:  This game was not designed, in concept for artillery in the game. It is the most frequent changed class, the most map dependent class, simply because it wasn't in mind or part of the game release and/or core play. Artillery, does not place itself in jeopardy like other classes, does not constitute as part of the battle in spotting, sharing HP, use implemented draw ranges, moving with the team, focus fire, or guard duty. In fact it frequently detracts from the team, requiring guard duty FOR IT. Artillery is inaccurate in the sense that aiming is next to impossible, rather you just lay the gun down on a house size target and hope you hit it, rather than tanks actually aiming TO PENETRATE other tanks. As I said, artillery isn't a class designed for the game, in inception. Artillery causes camping and rooting in, far more than it breaks camping and digs these out. Every single time artillery breaks a camp in the battles over 10 minutes, it also elsewhere causes 3-4 other games to turn incessantly slow, stale, and campy.  For artillery to counter campy behaviour, it has to counter the TD, light tanks, and other artillery that are causing oppositions medium tanks and heavies to stall, and go into turtling/arty safe stance. But because meds and heavies often fight for map control, they get spotted more, and artillery naturally shoots whats spotted. NOT THE VEHICLES causing camping, the bushed up, static lights, artillery, TD. The ridge line warriors are the forward observers, and they are getting shot at, not the campers. So in general summation, artillery causes camps more often than it dislodges them. A stationary target isn't the forward observer who acquires contested ground for the team and map control. A stationary target is the camper, bushed up, half a kilometer away. But the half a kilometer away camper isn't spotted. The observer is.  This is only how poorer performers respond. A typical response in not understanding how games unfold.   

Draschel:  Depends the tank. More often than not, a few certain examples are narrowed out.  A)  Bad dispersion TD with turrets, without access to stabilizer          Charioteer, Conway, FV, Hellcat, T78, M56, T30, 110E4, Skorpion G, Grille.  These vehicles have good accuracy, but are plagued by horrendous dispersion soft stats that constantly bloom their reticle with even the slightest of traverse. Gun laying drive does not help this. And since no vertical stabilizer, in order to stack with rotation mechanism, only ventilation and aiming class also boost dispersion.  B)  Campy high camo TD which bush up and fire all game, at 500m distances. Not really in use here for dispersion control, but rather to maximize accuracy. TD like Grille, S1, Strv, E25, M56 C)  Vehicles with poor DPM, that can afford to take the DPM penalty to gain utility in extra gun control.  For instance, a tank like Lowe, T34 heavy, KV4  Kresl,  T77,  Hellcat have  extremely poor DPM. No matter what you do, maximizing  their rate of fire, still won't give them respectable DPM. Yet with smart usage, they can positively trade with alpha damage, if provided better tuning up in gun control D)  Autoloaders.  While stabilizer and rotator, are far more important for autoloaders, some examples like Skoda T25, Strv m57, GSOR cannot fit a stabilizer. Debatable over what you take, a gun layer or aiming class, but in situations with bad overall accuracy, yet extremely good soft dispersion stats (703,Bourat) aiming class helps remedy that problem E)  Derper tanks. Tanks like Buigi, oho, OI, KV2, SU152, Type 5, Sheridan can have horrendous derp gun accuracy. Aiming class helps dispersion, while also boosting their accuracy, something stabilization can't do on its own  

Draschel:  Leave it in garageUse it as barracks space  if someone actually wants  to play this trash heap, the most important equipment piece isn't equipment at all. Its premium account, using premium to turn off both malinovka and prokhorovka, or redshire so you aren't perma spotted by light tanks, and getting your house sized tank bombed by TD and arta for minutes straight Actual equipment, ventilation in +%boosting spot, rotator, rammer.Alternately, +%boosting spot  have hardening, and rotator, rammer.  Turbocharger won't help this piece of crap.Stabilizer helps gun control more than rotator, but rotator crucially adds gun control AND brawling ability, agility which are sorely needed  

Draschel: I have always had issues rolling with T-50-2, at least me. The tank is fast,  but tall and narrow. 

Draschel: I don't think there will be bad wait times with +1/-1 to begin with. Provide tanks with +1/-1. Tanks like KV5, IS6, 112, 111 E25, KV220 that already have +1/-1 that stand to lose their benefits, provide them new matchmaking rules such as their presence forces maximum only 3 tier  9 vehicles  (or tier 8 for E25)  So they would get maximum 3/12 MM in tier 9 battles, or all tier 8 tanks, or random amount tier 7-8

Draschel: 907 is taking alot of heat now, because of object 140 buffs, 121B buffs. However 907 is still solid stuff.What you want are the 907, 121B, VK7201. These are the winners. 

Draschel:  You don't play middle tiers. You play bot tier. And it isn't fun for you out of bot tier, because you do poorly out of bot tier.

Draschel: bounty aiming device, bounty rotator are what you want. 

DeviouslyCursed: Let me try explaining why Random MM is awesome this way: Random MM gives all players the same 14 vs 15 battles over time. We all get really good ones in our favor. We all get really bad ones not in our favor. Most of them fall in the middle. I view this as a trial. The Random MM is giving everyone a wide set of skill match ups, variations, tank differences, etc. Then each player gets to see what they can do with it. It is a dynamic, ever changing thing; you never know what you are going to have to face. This adds much need variety, and this alone is what allows players to stand out. If your 14 teammates average skill is slight worse then the enemy 15 players, can you over come that? If so, good on you, you get to win that match up when others can't.  What about if they are fairly worse than the enemy? And so on. Of course, this means there may be some 14 v 15 matchups that no player will be able to win consistently when put in there (and some matchups that no one will lose consistently either). It's not just about losing or winning that one really stacked against you battle either. It's about how many of those you can pull off over time. But it has to be this way if you really want to see where players stand. You'll never find out how high people can jump if everyone can touch the ceiling. 

Draschel:  nobody wants to see a single arty, nevermind 3. Even if arty did 25 damage a hit instead of 100, no one would want to see them. Arty isn't hated because of how much damage it does, but rather how it does it.I am not using my numbers. I am using average server seen numbers, that the population procures. No one cares about your numbers, thoughts, feeling of the game. But people are interested of averages.I loved the 107mm. More consistency and performance.  Whats fun for you isn't necessarily fun for others.  

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah, I know what it means. You said: 

DeviouslyCursed:  There is no such expert that can give you a value on what is a purely subjective position. Zero. Zip. Nada. You're throwing in a term that doesn't apply in an effort to make your argument carry more weight than it does. Do some people feel that there are too many avoidable outcomes due to skill imbalance? Clearly. Do some people feel the opposite? Clearly. No "expert witness" needed.  

DeviouslyCursed:  aaaaaaaaand again. 

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed: My problem with the coupons is that I don't want to buy either of the two items you can use the coupon for.

DeviouslyCursed:  Well that's fine and all, but the person they responded to said "sine HE was introduced" and it has literally been in the game since beta. Hence their, and my, response. What they said didn't make any sense. That's like saying "I liked WoT until medium tanks were introduced."

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed:  I was kinda wondering what game they had been playing too. Must not have been WoT...

DeviouslyCursed:  Fixed it for you.

DeviouslyCursed:  There's no debate on the word "expert," You are simply taking a well defined legal term "expert witness" and misusing it in an attempt to get support for a position that is untenable. 

DeviouslyCursed:  "Expert testimony." 

DeviouslyCursed:  This is what Death_on_2_Treads does. When he's backed into a corner, he makes a pronouncement that he didn't actually just lose the argument, then withdraws. Kind of like when I made points he couldn't refute, he cried about an insult and ran away. At least he doesn't go into complete loony-mode like SimplySimple.

Draschel:  Rotator is available to tiers 5-6 tanks, what do you mean?And CVS doesn't work well on low view range stuff anyway 

Draschel:  I am not sure what you are talking about. M44  DPG is quite a deal down from June.  While KV2 hasn't changed much In fact if I were to re-crew my KV2 and just use 107mm, the DPG would be alot better because of mobility buffs
