Jaguarz: Shut up and do as I say!!!!

_BobaFett:  ???

The_Chieftain: If you go back many, many, many years and look at a tech tree image from about 9 years ago, the US tech tree was originally going to have a couple of lines which, it turned out, were never implemented. One was the 'mad inventor' line, starting with Christie and ending with Yoh. Initially the problem was finding anything useful on them.https://worldoftanks...rful-world-yoh/We couldn't, so we nixed the idea. That said, we have never entirely written off the possibility that we might implement, stupid though the designs often were.

Jaguarz:  Not to the extent I would like. Im a fairly solid player but maintaining stats can become a point of stress. I would have infinitely more fun in this game if I was able to hide my stats entirely, I dont see a reason for them to be on display at all except for clan applications and as a opt in for people wanting to show off should they so wish.

Jaguarz:  The automated chat ban system is a script which runs nightly like 1-3am eastern time, its not instant or dynamic which leads to peoples confusion as they carry on as if nothing happened when saying something that has earned them a ban when they have been targetted but the trigger isnt pulled until hours later. The automated system doesnt, to my knowledge, trigger any strikes, it just keeps scaling up, manual reporting and then interaction from a CSR earns you a strike, of which you get 5 of them and then a perma chat ban, these are likely to be abuse sent in the garage as the automated system doesnt monitor garage chat (yet)

Elias_K_Grodin: When I log in and play, I focus on what the map is, which vehicles am I going up against, and how I can support my team. There are some maps I have a go-to spot but there are others that I tend to do one of the following:Support the flank I spawn on as long as there are other tanks also heading in that same direction Move over to the opposite flank if I see too many heading into one flank If I am playing a light tank, I try to push forward towards the enemy front keeping aware of my detection range and edging close to where the engagement zones are likely to be Sometimes, I get caught in an aggressive enemy push and have to run for my life or just get flat out ambushed. Most times, I can get good intel on the OPFOR an try to get some decent shots down range on spotted targets. The main point is focus on what you can do for the team and not what the team can do for you. "To get the best out of your men, they must feel that you are their real leader and must know that they can depend upon you." - John J.

The_Chieftain:  Other companies are starting to do the same thing. "Built into the vehicle, but not turned on". BMW took a hammering for this one, I believe it withdrew the idea. Heated seats as a service? BMW wants to sell car features on demand | Ars Technica 

_BobaFett: The only time I watch videos when playing is when I'm playing arty. It is quite productive, I must say.

Adam_Antium: Por ahora no lo considero necesario. El manejo del foro no requiere mucho trabajo, me sienta bien y además suelo habituarlo bastante. Distinto es en otras plataformas como Facebook o Discord donde la comunidad toma un rol más activo en la "automoderación" del contenido. Como no puedo estar las 24 horas pegado a una pantalla, allí se requieren personas que puedan dar una mano. Por otro lado aclaro que el programa de Voluntarios de la Comunidad era algo de la administración pasada y que estamos reviendo muchas cosas para ver cómo lo continuamos (si decidimos continuarlo).

churchill50: As far as I know, the 114 SP2 (if that's the one you're talking about OP) was slated to be a Clan Wars Reward tank. That's just the rumor I heard though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Draschel: I will omit stabilizer and rotator, because they are substantially better in terms of providing gun handling boosts. But in terms of secondary gun handling, to which you want to boost tanks handling that cannot mount vertical stabilizer, and are already mounting rotator - what do you prefer? Gun layer or aiming class. Important to note that I am cheap and lazy, I don't have the bounty versions. This sucks, because bounty aiming class provides 3% opposed to gun layer only 2.5%. Aiming class does in fact improve both overall accuracy, as well as minimum accuracy, so in a way it acts like a very weak stabilizer and rotator too, but gun layer does not.  The big examples, would be for tanks that obviously aren't permitted access to vertical stabilizer, but have freakish gun handling issues. Like a KV2 or OI, but also lighter stuff like Grille, Skorpion, M56, Hellcat, charioteer, conway.  Low tier auto loaders like T25, Strv57, FL10.  And perhaps low tier meds with very bad handling indeed, like Cromwell and T40.  I currently run gun layer for secondary handling in my dupe king derpers, that can't seem to even attempt moving (even just traversing) and shooting at the same point. But this was before the bounty aiming class introduction, and before the science/mechanics published about aiming class. I think I'd slowly gravitate towards aiming class with future 50% off equipment sales   

Draschel: Leo has a choice, between 75mm with DPM and gun handling, or 100mm with alpha damage and overmatch. The chassis is maneuverable, good gun depression, The armor is very thin, but over 75'' angle so you will get alot of sub94mm auto-ricochet bounces. But HEAT, HESH can penetrate you easy, as well as mentioned 94mm over match. Alt 15 is where the familiar swedish line of med start. The great gun depression suspension and rear turrets, as in highly sloped armored turrets. Choice of 2 guns again, 90mm or 105mm. 105mm offers alpha damage, over match, considerable shell velocity. 90mm offers gun handling, around 150 DPM, and is about 1 tonne lighter so improves mobility. The hull is very thin, but again angled an awesome 79'' so 107mm will be needed for overmatch, or high pen HEAT and HESH. Sadly, unlike UDES 15 and 16, no turret armor to abuse. UDES16 does not get tier 10 guns like Standard, Type 61, PTA, AMX30 or Skoda, but importantly has good turret armor upgrade from Alt 15. Again, features the 79'' auto bounce hull but is further upgraded to 50mm, so 152mm is needed for overmatch or high pen HEAT.  UDES15 sadly loses the property of Alt 15 and UDES 16 hull, acutely being angled to autobounce levels. This makes it more vulnerable to normal AP and APCR. But the turret armor increases substantially. Side armor and side skirt increase too, helps auto ricochet common 122mm caliber too that UDES 16 couldn't. While the gun upgrade is great, it lags behind stuff like M48A and STB1 because no 330mm HEAT pen limiting competitive usage.

_BobaFett:  I'm not about to jump to conclusions but that seems somewhat logical not gonna lie.

Draschel:  What is your proof, may I ask? Or is that just you, talking? Whiffing, actually. Just some rudimentary analysis. Not to diminish the guy, because he is better than me, but he has many old tank scores throughout his account, that though are 3-marks are old ones that don't typically resemble what re-rollers strive for. This is not typical of re-roll accounts, which start from the ground up, with excellent scores across the board. Not one stone left un-turned. In addition, his account is as old as yours, 2013 which again points towards a first account, and so does 35,000 battles. Many more hidden too. Re-rollers tend to put 10-15k then get bored. His account has a few anomalies, such as playing a tank before extensive reworks, such as class changes/re-tiering, Etc. A big indicator, would be very old low tier scores. Low tiers re-rollers just skip and don't bother with. Huge. These are not typical signs of the re-rolled account. All evidence, while no one can be 100%, most things point towards someone that isn't a re-roll. I can also just ask him, I listen to him in channels, I know Mr  smart resident -G- guy well enough, a few years now. I am asking again, what is your proof, anyone can -say-   s--- but what is your actual proof    

Draschel:  

Draschel:  Well, the penetration of objects, are we sure the penetration is exactly like AP/APCR through distance travelled after initial pen?For example, I have seen AP travel considerable distance after demolishing an obstacle to strike a tank. HE will do the same, and without further pen loss over distance travelled, true to its usual? Interesting. HESH acts exactly like HE, but with more Pen. Has anyone tested that out? 

Draschel: I don't know why you would want them, anyway. They are considerably bad. Want the Super Chaffee? Play T37, super chaffee doesn't even make credits. For +5% camo? +10 HP +10 VR?  .01 better accuracy?  Super chaffee trades those benefits, for way worse DPM, less pen, less gun handling, less armor, less top speed Why would you want to play Super Hellcat, when it doesn't make credits either.T25/2 maybe slower, but is quite mobile already for a tank destroyer, like a medium. Yes, its missing a quarter of the camo, but its camo is fine.It offers more armor and HP, better DPM, better penetration, more view range, carries 50% more ammunition  Who would want these rewards? T-50-2 is way better. 

Draschel: You can remain here, and argue with the entire forum. Literally. Seeing there stats or not. You are just an angry, grassfire that enjoys being wind blown and fed dry combustible fuels.  You attack with cheapshots, over considerably better players, their achievements. Not limited to this thread, everywhere. You need only look in the mirror, and say to yourself, why can't I make these achievements? You don't spend lots of time in the global map and experiencing campaigns - yet you say what is and isn't meta. You say this or that (HE, conspiracy, premiums, luck, whatever) are endemic and rife in the game, but come from an average performance history without the appropriate knowledge to understand what is endemic here, and what is a problem or not. You say certain vehicles are bad, yet don't properly understand the good, the bad, the ugly to begin with.  Everyone is telling you pretty much the same thing, too. And you are ignoring it all. Nothing is going to change your mind.  

Einzelganger7: What they are doing is a HE rework, not a HEAT rework.

_BobaFett:  I'll have to watch that one sometime.  This one is one of my favorites.

_BobaFett:  Nice one.

_BobaFett: Does anyone have the English translation?

_BobaFett: I was wondering what the forum thinks about the HE changes.

_BobaFett: Good, I have been needing to catch up on BP.

_BobaFett:  I had the same problem when I bought the IS-5. Lost about 20 games in it before the wins started to come in. Just could not catch a win.

_BobaFett: I have found the early hours to be worse in team quality than the later ones.

_BobaFett: Rigged I tell you!!!

Draschel:  No, it does not.Not even close. 

Draschel: A re-roll account, has the premise of an experienced player which learned the game, but has placed thousands of battles to which the user sees as disgusting. Perhaps too hard to correct it all, and gives up. So the user starts anew, in tip top experienced shape as opposed to a rookie, not making the same mistakes the first time around. The goal of a re-roll account, is to replace the first account. Which means a new set of statistics, getting into premier clans, premium tanks, and tier top tier tanks. Low game forum trolls, forum ban dodgers, Wot code replicates, alt accounts, family accounts, low tier stat padders, SA server padders  -  whatever, I don't consider them a re-roll. Their intent is different, quite different What I want to know about Jeep, is the point of insulting a re-roll, to begin with. So, you get a retort you don't agree with, see their games played and performance, and call them a re-roll. You tell them to be a man, and show the first account to see those stats. Why? Why does it matter, you are bickering with 3 people in here, considerably better and knowledgeable than you. How do stats play into that? What a crazy old act.
