Archives\Junkyard\Unbalance in tanks...
Link on message: #140303
Russian_Bastard, on 23 September 2010 - 12:18 PM, said: I think after the new update there is a little bit of unbalance in
the game. IS-3's armor is a little weaker than it was before the
update, or the artillery is waaaaaay over powered. I wish I took a
screen shot, but I was in the game and I had IS 3. As I was
advancing, artillery shell exploded about 3 meters in front and
away of my tank and destroyed me, it did not even hit my tank is it
suppose to be like that?. Tiger II's front armor is way to thick to
penetrate it with 122 mm gun at point blank range, most of the time
it will bounce. When hull gun and enemy vehicle collide (meaning
two tanks standing side by side and guns going inside of each
other's hulls) 75% of the time the round will bounce regardless of
the type of the tank or it will do a very little damage. Is it just
me? or some one else has the same issue... And one more thing...
the amount of experience needed for the research of the next tank
in some cases is little bit unfair... For example... To get an IS 4
you need 168.000 of experience points while average gain, at least
for me, is about 500-600 per battle.

my IS3 and shot him with my BL9 122mm at point blank range AND IT
BOUNCED!!!! Yes, I too beleive the IS3 was nerfed a bit armor wise
compared to the IS4..

ninjafroggie, on 22 September 2010 - 07:22 PM, said: no hiru, there IS a glitch that causes tanks that should be visible
to not be, and it started with the patch a few weeks ago, the
problem did not exist before then. Ive seen tanks that are only
100m away in the middle of an open field suddenly vanish, only to
reappear right next to me as i die. And my ping is only 30ms with 0
dropped packets.

with tanks being far away then "SURPRISE" he's next to you muzzle
in your face. Anyone who hasn't witnessed this phenominon can
easily replicate it by hiding in a bush at your base and defending.
When I do for example the Prohovka map and I am watching the train
tracks on FULL magnification I have seen tanks red dots near the
tracks then he's right infront of me at the base. Yes this is very
annoying because your targeting the tank and he completely
disappears NOT warps. I have seen them going down the road toward
me dissapear and reappear almost like a on and off switch.

Fan Zone\General Creativity\How about a Moderator Championship matchLink on message: #138761
ARGO: We have had matches for the beta testors but I was toying with this
idea of a Moderator vs. Moderator match up winner named "Top
Moderator" and the winner has to duel Overlord for the title of
"title name here". The top dog of that match must duel the top tank
winner of the Championship contest.
What do you think? Might be a lot of fun for the beta testor to watch. Anyone got an idea who would win the moderator fantasy bout?

If you notice its something being worked out. Once it gets more nailed down on what they are planning or testing the info will be updated. Until something is semi workable there is not much to report but its still a active project.

The cool thing is that you have to control all the muscles in order to beat the other guy. It's free and you can play multiplayer. I've been playing it since I found out about it a couple of days ago.
Not sure if this is allowed or not, but since it's random chat I might as well tell other people about a great free game.
