_BobaFett:  Yeah I'm not saying it's a guarantee, just worry a try.

_BobaFett:  2 years ago dude...

_BobaFett: It means someone hit the ammo rack box.

This question gets asked after every patch. Ammo racks happen, it's not a conspiracy.

_BobaFett: We haven't even gotten people to Mars.

Terraforming Mars won't happen for a long long time, if ever.

_BobaFett:  Did you try restarting your router and computer? Sometimes when I have performance issues restarting my computer will fix it.

_BobaFett:  You monster. 

_BobaFett: That's actually a nice idea.

_BobaFett: Loooool.

Draschel: you don't know what a reroll account is. So you can't accuse people of them.Causing others of something, doesn't hide the fact that you, yourself, don't know the game. 

Draschel:  To start, I am not a fan of the past HE has had in world of tanks' history. It has been like that for years, and always attracts negative attention. It has been cause and concern for many nerfs to date. I understand why they are making these changes, and it addresses many problems world of tanks has. Not all of them of course, but many. It is overall a good step in the right direction, removing alot of the incredible dumbing down things in the game,  like ammo spam that doesn't require fundamentals to use, yet may still yield result in broken ways. The game is about realism? Since when? Since when does an HE shell not even penetrate 1mm of rubber track, and explode there on contact? What is being fired, latex? What realism. HE shouldn't be renamed. It does have an area of effect, radius, and will burst and destroy obstacles.  Fixed  

_BobaFett:  Still not true.

_BobaFett: [BOBA_] Fett Clone Division is now recruiting! The Fett Clone Division is a Boba Fett themed clan created purely for casual play. There are no requirements, other than respect for other clan members. Anyone and everyone is welcome. Clan emblem:   

_BobaFett:  Lol nice.

_BobaFett:  They may not be top tier, but they are far from trash. The armor holds up decently and the gun has an excellent rate of fire, not to mention they have enough mobility to get around.

DomoSapien: Solid replay! 

I hate seeing lemming trains, but it's certainly a little bit easier to make the best of a bad situation like that in a tank like the Bobject that really has that insane carry/pushing potential. 

IMO the lemming trains can certainly pay off, but only if the team commits to pushing, and sometimes what it takes to make that happen is a bold risky push to get the rest of the pain train rolling. It's always a bummer to see the whole team commit to a flank, then peter out and let the other flanks dominate because nobody was willing to push into the few tanks they had blocking the train.

Glhf, see you in the next video

DomoSapien: Just to echo what some folks have said, the Tiger I isn't really a 'heavy' tank in the traditional sense, implying that it's well-armored.

The Tiger was certainly a terror on the battlefield in WWII. There is no arguing against that. Such a terror, in fact, that the Tiger I is tiered up and facing vehicles in battle from an entirely different historical period. Were this a classic historical confirgation, you'd be seeing tigers going up against M4 Shermans and T-34s, which are two tiers lower in the tech tree.

I wouldn't say we hate the Tiger, more like we respect the Tiger so much we classed it up a couple of tiers so that it wouldn't be completely unstoppable in a 15v15 battle format.   Had production issues not halted the AMX 13 57 project, historically the tank would have been ready for production sometime in the 1950s, well after the debut of the Tiger I and the King Tiger projects. The 13 57 also has a punchy gun, and most 13 57 players tend to load APCR exclusively so they can play it as an aggressive light brawler/ambush tank. I wouldn't really say that being circled and penned by one of those in a Tiger I is indicative of the Tiger I being a bad tank or some greater philosophical debate about what merits a 'heavy' tank - simply put, the Tiger I is a Medium-Heavy sniper, and the 13 57 excels at getting behind enemy lines, circling & burning down the health bars of slow, squishy tanks.

_BobaFett: Well I'm playing it.

churchill50: If you're trying to rely on the Tiger I's armor (when not hulldown at mid to long range) then you're doing it wrong. The Tiger I relies on the DPM, pen, and gun performance, plus its 1500 HP, and decent straight line speed. If you want armor, you're going to have to wait for the tier 9 and 10 in the line.

_BobaFett:    

_BobaFett:  I disagree, mods are my favorite part of PC gaming. Give it more flavor in my opinion. 

_BobaFett:  Would you care to repeat it?

_BobaFett:  If I drown myself right from the get go, am I playing the game my way?  If I dive headfirst into enemy fire and get myself killed, am I playing the game my way? If I camp in the bushes at the very back in a Maus, am I playing the game my way? If I frontline in a Grille 15, am I playing the game my way? No. I am playing the game wrong. "Playing the game your way" is not an excuse for playing the game wrong.

_BobaFett:  And that being?

_BobaFett: Perhaps you would prefer its previous iteration?

_BobaFett:  You don't seriously believe a WG employee created this thread? Surely you aren't this stupid?

churchill50:  This. On the SA server you face bots up to tier 5. In a tank as hilariously powerful as the Pz V/IV it is hilariously easy to farm insane games against bots. So the Mark and Ace requirements, which were already high, are now insane.

Elias_K_Grodin: I agree with this, once you open fire, you have to assume the OPFOR has seen your shot. Even if you aren't detected, they will know where the shot came from and an incoming artillery round is headed your way. Fire and displace, not only handy in WoT but something that was taught at the Marine Corps School of Infantry. "Flying is hours and hours of boredom sprinkled with a few seconds of sheer terror." - Gregory "Pappy" Boyington

Elias_K_Grodin: Hey Platoon, Steering the thread back to the OP from being Bush-whacked twice, the anonymizer and the blacklist features were to reduce toxicity within the World of Tanks community. There were too many instances where players would be harassed and bullied for whatever reason and not all of the bullying gets reported for WG to investigate so we made this feature for players to blacklist/block messages coming from players they add to the list. This blacklist is kept by the player in confidence and that should not be shared with anyone. As for players suspected of running botting software, this is a EULA violation:   12.1.10 using any unauthorized third party programs, including hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers and automation programs that interact with the Resources in any way, for any purpose, including any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication between the software and Wargaming and any unauthorized third party programs that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the software to store information;  While we cannot disclose any actions taken, WG takes bot software usage enforcement very seriously.

Elias_K_Grodin: Although the data collection was very detailed and spelled out that steamrolls happen more often than not, It's important to remember that Random Battles have always been about pairing up vehicles tiers not PR or WR or other personal scores/ratings. Random Battles are exactly that, random. Close games and steamrolls will happen and sometimes they happen more often than we like. The main point is this is for fun and sometimes we have more fun and other times its not that great. Just try to remember this is a video game and while we do our best to make sure both teams are balanced in terms of vehicle tiering and class, we make our own fate after the battle starts. "None of us can change our yesterdays but all of us can change our tomorrows." - Colin Powell, United States Army

_BobaFett: My guess? We'll get the premium in the Christmas lootboxes and the line will come out mid to late January. The last two have been that way. 

Draschel:  I think the 113 has decent gun depression. Compared to E100 or  FV215B, they all  have -7, but the closer turret forward makes all the difference.  If I didn't have to work 47.5 hours a week and always be left dead beat tired, and have to put in extra office upload hours too.....and what about the GF?  home improvement?  Back to tanks, I am then left to merely grind credits all the time for black markets every 6month and 2.0 equipment sales,  I'd 3 mark 113 as my next tier 10 if I'd have the time. I think it is more reliable than 277 and WZ1115A. First of all, it receives less focus. But also because of the straight plate, allows you to more conventionally act like something like E75, rather than having a pike nose get in the way positioning yourself forward.  Watch some iyouxin movies, he enjoys the 113 and plays it a bit.  

Draschel: You like your 100E4, STB1, 121.  Alternate with them, throw them into rotation to get into the groove.  113 throwing you off gear, a wrench into your cogs and grinding your gears? Play your E4, STB1, 121. Turn that frown up-side-down. You will see, it will work and works wonders. And when you are not on tilt, back to pleasant, you will play better. It is fact. Don't worry, your 113 isn't half bad either. 

Draschel: In what heavy tanks? Jugding by your description, heavy tanks that sport -5 or -6 gun depression only?  Well, besides things like VK7501 and VK4502 (P) B, most are fast, like 257, WZ111111114, T10, 777, IS7, 260.  These open opportunities for other things.  Turn off prokhorovka and malinovka, for a better gaming experience.   You wouldn't be,  exaggerating  a bit, would you?  lol.  You are doing fine man, don't be a critic. Keep up the good work. 

Draschel:  over the years, I have gotten really good at one thing.  And it is really passive aggressive and selfish, but it doesn't matter. The means, are justified, in the end. Goals must be met, at all costs, lest your performance suffers because of it. It is speed and camo. While you cannot -tell- someone what to do reliably,  lest immediately boiling down into a contest of who blows the loudest fart or bickering  -  what you can do is -USE- that person, passive aggressively. Frankly, the person won't care, because nothing was said. Likely, the goon is too slow and dim to figure out what's taking place anyway, and probably will benefit from any assistance gained and believe he/she truly did something. A an attached, blood lapping leech.  Speed and camo, to USE them, as bait. USE them, as a piñata. In a loss, this is crucial. In a loss, when your team does not contest map control,  you get 3K damage + 1 tracking for 500 assisted, and your numbers don't fold back down, a percent you worked so hard for.  Team mates must be used. Like labourers. But they don't need to be told about it.    

Draschel:  I agree 100%. But because of the former.....I expect the same courtesy. I don't want anyone telling me what to do, either.In my experience, telling someone what to do invokes 12 times out of 10, negative backlash, and an immediate in-game argument. The only positive thing I can really count on an ally, to one in ten be useful for, is saying a certain enemy left is 1-shot. That is fine. Simply don't talk. This can certainly mean alot of cases, wins are taken away from you, when a win was certainly possible because of lacked communication. But a means to an end, as I see it, communication is extremely difficult. No one's a psychic, and 24 of 25 times, the typical ally you need info or help from, DOESN'T THINK like you and is wooden plan useless. Literally. But it evens out, because all the arguments and banter you avoid without communication, means those probable losses are also avoided. Universe of balance.Chat, turned off. Don't need to read that s---  If I get  two map pings from the same person in a battle,  immediately onto the black list. I don't give 2 greasy f--- s--- what my allies have to say. I want damage, wins, kills - as much as possible. Survival until last. I mean, squeeze the lemon hard and dry. Winning is secondary.   

Draschel: No one here is vain. No one here is out to self advertise.It is just you that talks smack, everywhere you go. You said the Leo sucks. Now you say it is fine. You say the Bat Chat is easy to play? Since when? On Himmelsd? You just don't have an understanding of Wot. Not a clue
