Uh... I do not think you got what I meant. My message was about the similar situations with the Cromwell-Comet and the VK30.02M-Panther. Both having a better performing predecessor at tier 6.

Einzelganger7: I was unable to play this event and even the standard game at all because I got affected by the high CPU usage bug (I have a potato computer) and from the 38-45 FPS I usually had with advanced graphics at medium, right now the game runs at 9-18 FPS even with SD graphics at minimum.

Einzelganger7: Both Indien Panzer and Panther II are really good nowadays so I do not think they are among the three worst.

Einzelganger7: Is basically the case as the VK 30.02 M and Panther. The same tank but one tier higher.

Einzelganger7: On the past two days I've got like 21 hours watched in total, 0 commanders. I really wanted to get Skill...

stabbymckill: Good morning Tankers,
 Starting the second week of February, we will be conducting a series of critical tests regarding changes to current in-game mechanics. Players are invited to download the sandbox client and help participate and give feedback to the changes as they are implemented
 The Test Schedule: Decreased damage from HE shells that hit the front of well-armored vehicles. Reduced artillery stun time. More discernible traces of artillery shells. "Arty Lamp"—a new feature that informs a player when an enemy SPG has fired. Revamped Crew 2.0—new and reworked skills and perks, a new system of crews and their progression, and a new Instructor entity. You'll also learn how your current crews will be converted to the new system.   Tons more details on how to participate, player rewards, and the overall timeline are available here in the article. Have fun and help us make the game better together! . 

stabbymckill: Good morning Tankers,
Enjoy special weekend bonuses, discounts on consumables and discounted free XP conversion this weekend. All of the discounts and bonuses will be available starting today and ending on Monday, Feb 8.

Special pricing on these bundles will run from today Feb 5 until Feb 15.  Full details on these packages and more available here.

Einzelganger7: Nice, finally we will see more about Crew 2.0, I am optimistic about the changes because...     

DomoSapien: IMO it's a combination of scarcity and substantially increased demand + recent GPUs having far better specs and value than previous gen which generally were agreed to have bad value for performance.

I've been in the market for a new GPU since march of last year, because my Titan X was starting to show its age. Ended up caving and getting a whole prebuilt from Newegg because it was the only way I could get my hands on a 3080

Granted, my 6700K arguably needed an upgrade as well because it'd bottleneck the 3080 but if I had the option to buy a 3080 without getting the PC I would've been far happier paying MSRP for it.

IIRC, Nvidia has stated that there should be a substantial increase in volume by q3 and q4 of this year so fingers crossed 

Einzelganger7:
Or the bastard child betweek Lakeville and Siegfried Line. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

 Minimap:   Perspective:  Scheme of initial routes: 

Scheme of routes by vehicle types
 
1) An area for maneuverable tanks and spotting enemy vehicles on their initial routes. Low cover, bushes, slight elevation changes, and a riverbed.
2) The main area of the heavily-armored vehicle encounter; an urban area with rocks.
3) Main positions for tank destroyers.
4) Bypass routes.Map of main positions and lines of fire:

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! General description Size: 1000х1000 m Mode: Standard Battle Setting: the Arctic Circle area
 
 
1) The main line of attack for pushing through with medium and heavy tanks. Convenient for tanks with good gun depression angles. There’s enough cover along the way to get close to the enemy.
 
2) A line for well-armored vehicles. With a narrow pass in the ice and a bypass along a thawed lake, tanks here are safe from quick enemy flanking maneuvers to their rear. Also, SPGs don’t have lines of fire to the main heavy tank encounter area in the main corridor.
   
3) A dangerous and exposed line for breaking through to the rear of the enemy heavy tanks and tank destroyers. A risky maneuver that can bring success to the team.   
4) Main footholds for map control, positions for defense, and supporting lines of attack.     

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!   General description:Map size: 1,000х1,000 m Mode: Standard Battle Setting: summer  Gameplay  A town with narrow streets suitable for slow, well-armored vehicles. Hills with scarce vegetation and lack of cover for maneuverable vehicles and for playing from the distance. The team that controls this area gets access to hill 3. A hill with vegetation and cover with good lines of fire at area 1. A bog with dense, high grass. An additional line that allows for sneaking to the enemy’s rear.
The following changes were made after the supertest:Field 2 was completely reworked.Hill 3 was improved significantly to make the gameplay less chaotic.In Town 1, the crossroads were widened, a safe passage to zone 3 was added, a line of fire under the bridge in zone 4 was added. The exits from the town towards the bases became a bit safer.Minor fixes in different spots.

MA77:  

MA77: Saudações, Hoje, três mapas entram no Superteste: um deles é uma versão atualizada de um novo mapa já anunciado, Sommar, enquanto os outros dois são totalmente novos: Highground e Frozen Land. Frozen Land  Descrição Geral Tamanho do Mapa: 1000х1000 m Modo: Batalha Padrão Configuração: Região do Círculo Ártico  A principal linha de ataque para avançar com tanques médios e pesados. Conveniente para tanques com bons ângulos de depressão do canhão. Há cobertura suficiente ao longo do caminho para chegar perto do inimigo. Uma linha para veículos bem blindados. Com uma passagem estreita no gelo e um desvio ao longo de um lago descongelado, os tanques aqui estão protegidos das rápidas manobras de flanco do inimigo. Além disso, as AAPs não têm linhas de fogo para a principal área de encontro de tanques pesado no corredor principal. Uma linha perigosa e exposta para romper a retaguarda dos tanques pesados e caça-tanques inimigos. Uma manobra arriscada que pode trazer sucesso para a equipe. Principais pontos de apoio para controle do mapa, posições de defesa e linhas de ataque de apoio.  Mais Imagens: Clique Aqui Highground  Descrição Geral Tamanho do Mapa: 1100х1100 m Modo: Batalha Padrão Configuração: Europa Estação: Verão  Esquema de Rotas por Tipo de Veículo Uma área para tanques manobráveis e detecção de veículos inimigos em suas rotas iniciais. Cobertura baixa, arbustos, pequenas mudanças de elevação e leito de rio. A principal área de encontro dos veículos fortemente blindados; uma área urbana com pedras. Principais posições para caça-tanques. Rotas de contorno.  Mais Imagens: Clique Aqui Sommar  Descrição Geral Tamanho do Mapa: 1.000х1.000 m Modo: Batalha Padrão Configuração: Verão  Jogabilidade 1. Uma cidade com ruas estreitas adequadas para veículos lentos e bem blindados.2. Colinas com vegetação escassa e sem cobertura para veículos manobráveis e para jogar à distância. A equipe que controla esta área tem acesso a colina 3.3. Uma colina com vegetação e cobertura com boas linhas de fogo na área 1.4. Pântano com grama alta e densa. Uma linha adicional que permite andar sorrateiramente até a retaguarda do inimigo. As seguintes alterações foram feitas após o superteste: O campo 2 foi totalmente retrabalhado. A colina 3 foi significativamente melhorada para tornar a jogabilidade menos caótica. Na cidade 1, os cruzamentos foram alargados, uma passagem segura para a zona 3 foi adicionada, uma linha de fogo sob a ponte na zona 4 foi adicionada. As saídas da cidade em direção às bases tornaram-se um pouco mais seguras. Pequenas correções em pontos diferentes.  Mais Imagens: Antes | Depois Lembre-se de deixar seu feedback aqui no tópico, comandante. Boa sorte no campo de batalha!

MA77: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! En el día de hoy, tres mapas ingresan al Supertest: uno de ellos es una versión actualizada de un nuevo mapa ya anunciado, Sommar (“verano” en sueco), mientras que los otros dos son escenarios totalmente novedosos: Terreno Alto (Highground) y Tierra Congelada (Frozen Land). Sommar  Antes de ir a los cambios respecto de la primera versión, recordemos una vez más que Sommar es un escenario de 1000x1000 metros para batallas estándar con temática estival. Recordemos también sus puntos clave: Un pueblo con calles angostas, apropiado para vehículos con buen blindaje. Colinas con poca vegetación y cobertura para vehículos maniobrables y juego de distancias. El equipo que controle esta zona tendrá acceso a la colina del punto 3.Una colina con bastante vegetación y cobertura, que tiene buenas posiciones para disparar hacia la zona 1. Un pantano con pastos densos y altos. Contiene una línea adicional para colarse en la retaguardia enemiga.  Estos son los cambios que realizamos para la segunda versión: Rehicimos por completo el campo en la zona 2. Mejoramos significativamente la colina en la zona 3 para que el combate sea menos caótico. Ampliamos las calles del pueblo en la zona 1, al mismo tiempo que añadimos un pasaje seguro a la zona 3 y una línea de fuego debajo del puente en la zona 4. Ahora las salidas desde el pueblo hacia las bases son un poco más seguras.Hicimos correcciones menores en varios lugares.  Más imágenes: Antes | Después Terreno Alto  Este nuevo mapa es un escenario de 1100x1100 metros para batallas estándar con temática estival europea. Una zona para vehículos maniobrables que puedan detector a los enemigos durante sus primeros movimientos. Cobertura de no mucho tamaño, arbustos, pocas variaciones en el terreno y un cauce. La zona principal de enfrentamiento para los vehículos muy blindados; una zona urbana con rocas. Posiciones principales para los cazatanques. Rutas de flaqueo.  Más imágenes: Haga clic aquí Tierra Congelada  Este nuevo mapa es un escenario de 1000x1000 metros para batallas estándar basado en la zona del círculo polar. Esta es la línea principal de ataque para avanzar con tanques medianos y pesados. Es atractiva para tanques con buenos ángulos de depresión de cañón. Cuenta con suficiente cobertura en el trayecto para aproximarse al enemigo. Una línea para vehículos muy blindados. El estrecho paso por el hielo y el desvío largo por un lago descongelado hacen que los vehículos de esta posición estén a salvo de las maniobras rápidas de flanqueo del enemigo hacia su retaguardia. Además, las artillerías no tienen líneas de tiro al área principal de encuentro de los tanques pesados en el camino principal. Una línea peligrosa y expuesta para atravesar la retaguardia de los tanques pesados y los cazatanques enemigos. Una maniobra arriesgada que puede traer éxito al equipo. Posiciones principales para el control del mapa, posiciones de defensa y líneas de ataque de apoyo.  Más imágenes: Haga clic aquí Como siempre, recuerden que todos los cambios no son definitivos y que están sujetos a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Dejen sus opiniones! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

DomoSapien: I have decent success in the WZ but I'm abysmal in the 277. 

I think I'm used to using the pike on the wz to bait some cheeky bounces here and there, but the kinda rounded front and the lack of gun depression make the few brain cells I have left short circuit. I end up playing them both like mediums anyway, so I prefer trading the armor for mobility/flex and rolling in a medium like the m48 instead.

I'm also a sucker for gun depression though.

stabbymckill: Good afternoon Tankers, As of now the Skirmish and Advance modes in Stronghold battles are back online. An industrial resource bonus will be included to make up for the disruption. Full details here   

TeriyakiTanker: LOL.... Cromwell B doesn't have nearly as accurate of a gun, doesn't have a tier VII hull, and doesn't do nearly as well ramming poor Tier IV tanks.  It's a beast thats for sure.

TeriyakiTanker: They could at least put it in the news or notify people when they login, really wouldn't be all that hard.

TeriyakiTanker: Unfortunately the reward system is setup to reward dying quickly and not worrying about winning.  Pretty easy to get 2-3 points just yoloing instead of trying to win for 5 points.

TeriyakiTanker: It is on hiatus while they figure out how they want to implement it.

KRZYBooP: Greetings Tankers!To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we wanted to hold a little contest. We’re offering up 6 winners their choice of a GSOR or a Bisonte.   Additionally, the best one will also get a fancy WoT Valentine’s Day t-shirt! Contest Rules: Create a WoT/Tank themed Valentine's Day card that would woo fellow tank lovers.Must be an ImageSubmitted by 2/12 in DISCORD or in this thread.  Here’s an example:    For a look at the V Day shirts as well as our other gear check out our Amazon page with the links below:  V-Day Shirts:  Amazon.com: Couple Part One T-Shirt: Clothing  Amazon.com: Couple Part Two Premium T-Shirt: Clothing  Amazon.com: World of Tanks Be my Valentine T-Shirt: Clothing    Main Store Page:  https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/9817993E-C197-464F-871D-C1AD2ECA0C69?ingress=0&visitId=46587182-9800-4616-9e77-14f118549d02 

MA77: Salve, Lagreca! A última vez em que o KV-2 ® ficou disponível foi na última semana de Outubro 2020. No momento, ele não está nos planos de venda de Fevereiro. Ainda não definimos o planejamento de Março. Grande abraço! 

TeriyakiTanker: Well I guess you havent been around long enough to know that blocking doesn't block encounter and assault modes, so if you don't want that map anymore you need to also turn off encounter mode.

TeriyakiTanker: So supply your actual data..... but you won't because you are a liar.

KRZYBooP:
There is no compensation for this tank. 

KRZYBooP: Check out our Super Test posts for all the maps that are coming soon. 

KRZYBooP:  Maybe? They don't give us a very big heads up about what is coming soon.

TeriyakiTanker: You are wrong in that is not how Wargaming made the game..... anything else you don't understand?

TeriyakiTanker: Being top 5 in damage doesn't mean anything because it doesn't tell us how much damage you did...... duh For all we know you did 300 damage and and everyone below you did 0.  This isn't your first rodeo..... stop using those large consumables as they cost you 40k a game and if you have to use your extinguisher that pops up to 60k.  Ditto on firing gold.  You aren't a very good player so is you are doing all of that and running food I wouldn't be surprised if you were losing 50k+ silver a game.

TeriyakiTanker: The issue is you are a liar and make it vague on purpose so that you can deny you meant that in the first place.

TeriyakiTanker: Obviously I did which you already admitted in your first reply to my post.  You do this all the time and when called on it you can't even really admit its what you did and do on a regular basis on these forums.

Einzelganger7: Indeed, I recommend what the other two players before me said, stop that spam. In fact I'd love if they could do the opposite as what you suggest, I'd like to see the cost of premium ammo higher, like 8k or even 10k per shell. This way people would actually think twice before going full premium, or if they do not think and still do it at least it would hurt on their credit resources.
