Jaguarz:  Pretty solid turret, not slow so flexible, turret traverse about same as other turret TDs, wont set world on fire but seems fine

churchill50:  I like it. This one I can never remember, so I have to look it up every time:https://www.reddit.c...ns_walk_into_a/

churchill50: That's a good one! I'll have to add that to my repertoire. And another, just for fun:A police officer pulls over a car for speeding. He walks up to the driver's window and finds Hiesenberg driving, Shrodinger in the passenger seat, and Ohm in the back."Do you know how fast you were going?" he asks."Well no, but I know exactly where we are!" replies Heisenberg."You were going 95mph" says the policeman."Oh great! Now we're lost!" says Heisenberg.The police office hears something in the trunk, and asks them to open it. He goes to inspect it, then comes back."Do you know you have a dead cat in the trunk?" he asks."Well now we do! Gee thanks!" Shrodinger yells!"That's it, I'm arresting all of you. Get out of the car with your hands where I can see them!" commands the police officer.Ohm resists.

Draschel: You don't know what you are talking about.The side of the tank is 40 and 50mm plates.The front of the tank has alot of 70mm sections.  while 70mm won't be victim to overmatch pens, or HEAT >70 degree pens - it will be vulnerable to HE splash and arta splash 

churchill50: And it's only going to get tougher for you to find aluminum foil with people like this around folks. Be warned, stock up while you still can!

Jaguarz:  Thats literally saying that no one played it given the Germans couldnt fight themselves.

Jaguarz:  TD-2 - HE on paper targets, 4005, T8/9/10 german TDsTD-8 - Did mine I think in the Skorp GSPG-12 - M53/55, small gun, stun shells (obviously) rain down pain from above, its literally effortless. You can theroretically "perma stun" people but its unlikely to happen but the reload and duration in that config is significant

Jaguarz:  Who wants the AMBT? By all accounts a significantly worse Bisonte

Jaguarz:  Its not that the skin "isnt great" its complete garbage, its a 2d skin that would sit in my garage gathering dust never to be used

Jaguarz:  There was a point when SerB was pretty slavishly trying to make it "historical" and avoid later tanks at all costs, it was a poor premise as shown by the farcical historical battles moide then as the game went on and they wanted the money taps to remain open the goalposts changed.

The_Chieftain: Unsure if that was a real thing, I went Googling.Yes, it's a real book.

churchill50: For TD-2, the T110E3 and Obj 268v4 can do it. FV4005 might do it a bit more easily. But it's still down to luck.My advice is to train Intuition, and then look for chances to switch to HE quick for a good pen. Get a few of those and you're pretty much guaranteed some critical hits. TD-8 is kind of down to luck. I would just play a TD that you really like and feel comfortable with. Generally, the lower tier you're playing at, the easier it will be. I'm no expert on SPG missions, but what I've heard is using the M53/M55 or 212A with the stock guns is a good bet. You get higher rate of fire while keeping most of the stun. Try to splash multiple targets when possible as that stun time racks up quickly. Hopefully that helps! I know the feeling of being so close and yet struggling to get the last few missions done. It took me a few months of trying for it off and on to get HT-12 for the Obj 260. After I finished that one though, I finished the last few I had left in 2 afternoons.Best of luck man!

Draschel:  who would have guessed. Not me. 

Jaguarz: I got nothing against premiums or mediums and the US have craploads of prototypes and variants sitting in the wings so why this mess?

Jaguarz:  Splitting up is a terrible idea and yet 9 out of 10 teams will do that and disperse according to pubbie matches, ranked drains my will to live, its a cancerous mode with decent rewards but not decent enough this year for me.

Jaguarz: Dont really see a purpose to this, its just weird (and ugly), Its like a less useful Bisonte

Jaguarz: Its a bot, simple script which types random things in chat to make it seem like theres a person at keyboard.

Jaguarz:  Maybe we can have historical battles back too, those went down like a lead balloon.....

Jaguarz:  Cameros killed my father and offend me, reported!!!

Jaguarz: Pretty sure its a bot with a script automated to say random things, likely someone butthurt over something inconsequential and this is his "revenge"

Draschel: learn how to compete. If you don't want to compete, don't play ranked.  don't come here complaining about this or that or hence or forth. Learn how to play. 

churchill50:  lmbo, that's quite a fair point.

churchill50: I'm still questioning the last one. Since the hint was a Faberge egg, which is Russian, not Chinese, the Quilin doesn't make sense to me.But I guess we'll have to see. For those wondering about prices, just remember:All of these offers will go for either gold or free xp. Lootbox sales, which massively inflate a lot of players' stockpiles of gold, just ended. And, the announcement about this event was made the day before lootbox sales ended, which was not a coincidence. Plus these are all either new or super rare tanks. The prices they'll go for are going to be absurd.

churchill50: That happens once you've used up all of your tokens.

Jaguarz: theres a flaw in the cookie somewhere, easiest thing to do is delete any wargaming cookie and history and pick up anew

Jaguarz:  You dont know much about the Torvagn it seems, its 50mm not 70 and can be overmatched with impunity by 150+ guns

Draschel: I thought the pen was 311.  But I do agree, Mauschen is really bad. I would rate VK100 01 and Maus as just 'bad'  Mauschen is really bad.I think the only buff it needs is deleting the cupola. Maus has no cupola, since this thing has an old Maus turret.....just remove it? 

Jaguarz:  This, it gives as much speed as a turbo in most cases (sometimes more) and improves traverse.

Draschel: Rofl 1. Entertainment? This is end game content, for better performing players to place high up the board.2. Like CW. Its competition. You need decent things to compete.3. Blame World of tanks comm system. Communication is large part of team work4. Not everyone is firing gold. But gold rounds are brought along for when/where they are needed and to mitigate RNG           For instance, shooting HEAT into tracks, doesn't work. So 277 or WZ1111111111115A, obviously need AP too. Same goes with 140, STB1.           Only tanks that fire pure gold are things like 110E3, Strv, Manticore, Leopard, IS7, Super Conquer except the occasional HE. What is the credits provided? Premium time provided through completing it? These mitigate the cost of performance. If you don't like it do not play it. Worth is very subjective. Worth needs to be described as to what it is, as that is objective. And then others decide subjectively, its worth.  

Draschel: Seriously, lets look at the Chieftain and Concept 1. Take away::their DPM. take away their gun handling. take away their speed. take away their side armor. take away view range.what you are left with is Mr Tomato....it sits hull down but can't spot or fight. littered with 70mm armor spots people will HE spam for 50% damage   

Draschel:  because the bofors tomato is like a Defender, to an extreme. But unlike Defender, it trades every single thing to do 1 thing in a return, but only defensively Bofors tomato is terrible. It has low DPM by that I mean extremely low, low precision in its firepower even if it can pen things, is very slow (even slower than Defender)  the armor is only one way, and has trouble even spotting. This thing, take the Concept 1, take all of Concept 1s good things away from it, but keep the inherit hull down and pen. Nothing else. Bofors tomato, is an useless tank made for sitting hull down, but nothing else. Not even doing damage or spotting WHEN hull down. Just sitting there getting shot at and stalling. And even because the armor is quite thin and depends on ricochet angles, it is vulnerable to HE spam and arta doing substantial damage. This is horrible design Anyone with sense can see this. Tomato is awful in design. Perhaps if you paid that, ''thinking and writing'' more effectively, into playing well, you'd be able to see too 

churchill50:  I've run into this issue a few times myself.From what I've seen it's because you alt-tabbed in the past and the game (for some reason) thinks you still have Alt pressed.To fix it all you have to do is press and release Alt real quick, and you're back to normal. Much easier than having to Alt-Tab to fix it.It's worked for me every time I've run into this issue.

1LT_Dwayne: It never came to your mind to exclude mines or cliff? Just asking...

Jaguarz:  I have bond rammer, grousers and bountry IRM on mine and it resolves its core problems significantly, that of poor flexibility, speed and often overlooked traverse. This gets the setup to a state where you can bring both your gun and armour to bear in the right direction faster and brings significant dividends. The 122TM as a whole suffers from a malady that many dont believe exist in World of Tanks, that of balance. Its both strong and weak depending on the situations it is facing.

Jaguarz:  Would usually be my first port of call but this cropping up alongside mine and another person I play with 2 days ago is odd to say the least as no issues regarding any other functions or games re: keyboard

KRZYBooP: I would try another keyboard to rule out silly hardware issues if you have another laying around 

Jaguarz:  I quite like your hypothesis and would be a significantly more attractive bait than the Turtle.

Jaguarz:  On a side note if I ever get the opportunity to use a time machine stealing all the Imperial Faberge Eggs is pretty high on my "to do" list

Jaguarz: Had the "D" key cut out on me the other day in game sporadically which was weird and a friend said he could only turn left.

Draschel: Quite narcissistic and silly, as in I agree with what you said. It is narcissi tic and silly.Lame too. Took the words out of my mouth
