churchill50: One big question. Is this the new format of the Black Market, or will there be a Black Market in addition to this event? Other than that, I like the looks of it. Being able to see multiple offers per day, saving offers for later, getting additional discounts based on community interest are all good features I think.Plus I'm rather interested in the styles and Improved Equipment.Overall looks good.

KRZYBooP:  Not sure about yesterday but it is up and working now.

Draschel:  It isn't just one tank.And anyone can take it as they would like to? I recall vividly, ''believe what you want''  and  ''are you proud of that'' Meaning, I'm not the one answering. Both queries the individual can decide over them-self I have not played my RAAC. I have not yet moved the crew into Action X. I did quite well in 7/1, which how I ran it basically an exact RAAC with more DPM. I have extensive experience in Caernarvon AX and FV4202 and Patriot, all similar armed tanks with similar play. I have no doubt in my mind, if I did play the tier 10 Action X, 3k damage would be the benchmark. I do not have AMX AP. But do I fear these, like I fear 274A and LIS? Heavens no. Is it S tier, as an T8 medium? Heavens no. When you sit in SH (strong ones like ASTER, GIVUP, CRAKD) and no one readies up tanks like bisonte, AMX AP but tonnes of people EVERYGAME ready up LIS, progetto, bourratt. That tells you something.  Because I don't like AMX AP, doesn't mean I think it is bad. And I am sure people can scroll back to the beginning, and read that I never said bad, like AMX CDC or VTU. Better than mediocre, less than good. B tier. 

Draschel:  From an alt. Nice. Talk is cheap.

Draschel:  Why does that fact matter, if I posed a query about whether or not something different I asked is fact. Or fiction. Who cares about an answer if it is not the question asked? So all your bull doesn't matter either. Really does not. You claim others do not speak english as primary, yet the last 5 posts I've read originating from you are pretty shoddy english. And you feel the need to loathsomely attack accounts, on an alt. Without a weekends worth of games.  

Draschel:  Not stat shaming you. And I only play my 2011 account, that isn't a reroll. This account isn't a reroll, because it doesn't play? A reroll implies playing, progressing? All I allude to, is I see clearly you don't particularly enjoy british mediums. But honestly, I ground out Centurion line ages ago too. I actually completed Centurion itself with the 17pdr middle gun, because the DPM was awful of 20pdr, which was not 1 916 it is today. It still didn't stop me from doing 1,800 combined. You want ours side by side I can show you in a minute. A first tier X, is hard to repair due to how things were recorded back then. I understand. But not impossible. You shouldn't condemn your tier X to tier VII stats. Though I do see you are on the road to continuing that trend with your other tier Xs. You do you, man. Don't care.  My experience in dealing with alt accounts, more than that actually people - is more about what they say, the things that they can prove. And yes, World of Tanks home page, vehicles played, random battle records don't mean much, but it is different if the person takes the time to actually post things through garage, obviously an account that is theirs, rather than being duplicitous. Dealing with people quick to just throw around alt this, alt that - rather than taking a look at whats important and stated and what isn't - seems pretty ignorant. And in addition, when the person does reveal himself at the end anyway, people tend to dismiss it anyway and pick up other excuses. It always happens.  So sure, believe what you want? Ask yourself, looking at your service record as if you were peering at a mirror, are you proud of that? I am, of mine. Hint, my tier X don't do what people do in tier VII.  

Draschel: Alot do. While I do agree its loathsome, it does result in more wins.I don't care about, per se, an useless tier 6 elo or leaderboard.      .......but I do care about 50k with the W and 2x experience (or 3x 4x 5x) Simply put communication and direction, are the best commodities available in ensuring wins. 

Draschel:  You can believe whatever you want? Don't care. I am curious though, do you like british high tier medium tanks? 

Jaguarz:  This for gods sake and more this..... Far too many use the line as a red line sniper when they are strongest at the front or holding a choke, its a sub par sniper but a first class bully line. *disclaimer, I have none of these tanks, Im relaying only the benefits I see others eek out of them in games*

Draschel: Remove tier 6 skirmishesReduce tier 8 skirmish clan members required to 4, so more teams can be fielded. Benefitting smaller clans I think its a good idea as people learn more tier 8s and clans would be 'manufacturing' more sensible in-house callers and battlefield managers, in tier 8 skirmish opposed to tier 6. More immersion happens, with more varied vehicles available and more maps in the rotation as current tier 6 restricts quite a few. More earnings too in credits and experience.  Thoughts? 

Draschel: Second 90mm, middle gun has significantly more DPM. Better gun handling. Allows the tank to move faster Top gun doesn't have enough performance in terms of pen advantage, to justify loss of DPM, gun handling. 300 alpha is certainly nice and can work for trades though. Or over matches on situational targets  

1LT_Dwayne: I did uninstalled it and reinstalled because I figured out I was maybe exaggerating and being upset over a game. You had to go see if I was still playing? Also come here and post it? Who the [edited]are you?

Draschel:  English must not be your first language. Where have I heard that before. You know, I did not ask him here, for him to show me who. I already knew. I asked him to use Dossier tool to reveal games played within platoon. You are tiresome. You accuse others of alt accounts, and are posting on one. 24 battles. Tiresome.At least have the decency to spend some hours to make it 100. Posting on forums should be limited to accounts with 500 games.

Draschel: yes, all in the same clan. All pretty much that green direction. If you don't want to get better, you simply won't. No new tricks. So its Faststeel, Devious, wings I believe. 

Draschel:  1 month? I didn't say you play with Defend. I said when I come into Smok3 to play with Defend in detach, I see you in channels with others.  Look at his posts over time, professor.

Draschel:  I do not understand why object 430, IS2-II, K91PT have 390 instead of 440. Especially considering they improved swedish line alpha, and German heavy alpha. Weird stuff

Draschel: But in terms of random pubs, 113 and T62A are very strong. They really serve the same purpose. 

Draschel:  Flagpole  (tier 5 german TD)  is pretty good. VK3001D is decent too. Sort of a A43 body with cromwell gun. Jag Panther II is a cheapo WZ120FG With newfound field mod boosts, equipment 2.0 - Jumbo is very interesting as it becomes much quicker. Just wish the top turret and stock turret were switched SU85B is probably the best tier 4 tank destroyer T62A and 113 aren't particularly powerful, but are actually decent? Work in ranked too. While not 140, 907, or 260 - they aren't far behind.  

Jaguarz:  there are Israeli variants without the tumor

Jaguarz:  Or plays too much high tiers, 42% in mostly 10s is about 45% in t6-8 Also cheat accusations are the best  This was from shooting a guy sitting in an obvious bush

Jaguarz:

Jaguarz:  See now I disagree and thats based entirely on what I can do with them and the issues I have when facing them, note that I am a pretty poor heavy player. K-91PT - Fast, troll superstructure, paper front plate and engine deck, derpy gun, slow velocity rounds, not a concern when on other side.Strv K - I have it, never played it, not a concern when on other side.777-2 - I have it, never played it, not a concern when on other side.114 - I have it, never played it, not a concern when on other side.Kpz 50T - Very strong, could be a mediocre T10 medium if bumped up a tier, dont really enjoy playing mine, maybe a bit too embarrassing given its strengths. Also ugly looking.Concept 1b - Very strong, a tier 9.5 tank if there ever was one, flexible, T9 Chieftain, anyone can do well in this with half a brain.Phase AE - Great tank, one of the few heavies I dont mind playing, used it for a bunch of missions.Kunze - Great tank, very flexible yet inflexible due to paper armour, bar armour it has everything you need just not all the time and mode switching at wrong time can be a downfall, for better than average players imo. Rarely a threat other side.T-55a - Yeah, I hate this tank now, but the fault must be my own as its strong enough, the low top speed of the tank and slow velocity rounds disturb me more than they should.Char - Great tank, high skill floor and ceiling, fast, stealthy and punishing, perfect tank for a vulture player and a late game monster. Always try to have at least one more shot in the clip more than is needed if making a play, Interclip bearable, reload time gives you the chance to catch up on your reading, refilling a partial clip at right time is a dark art, for better than average players imo, awareness is key. Rarely a threat other side. To be fair I would call myself a odd player, I have an eye for opportunity more than skills and the Char allows me to exploit such occurrences more than others, it just synergizes with me, as always your mileage may vary.

DeviouslyCursed:  There. Now, your turn. Can you post with your main account?

Draschel:  Mediocre? What of above average? I got to stop naturally being the critic.1,075 damage maybe nothing too spectacular, but 1,400 combined puts him above its 1,250 HP for contribution. With basically 1 spotted per game. Thats turquoise 

Draschel:  Kind of 122TM. But majority T-34 heavy. 

Draschel:  The DPM is 1,658 If we consider the M103 and Emil  II as having high DPM, and consider 114 as having low DPM - the middle ground would be 777-II, Mauschen. Dab in the middle.If we consider Caernarvon AX and M  III  Y with the middlegun as having high DPM, and T77 as low, the middle ground would be WZ111? Somewhere around there.If we consider the DPM difference between Tiger H and Vz 44, same basic picture. A massive difference. These numbers actually fit. Between tier 9 the damage span is 850. Between tier 8 the damage span is 900. 114 low DPM is just the bottom bracket. Nothing however, new. But what is certainly surprising, 114 painful gun handling. The closest thing we had, old old old old T34 heavy gun stats. But T34 heavy has been buffed to change that.                                                   The drop to 60 side armor also a weirdo. 111 models have 80, 110 has 90, 113 has 90, 112 has 100. Not sure why 114 gets shafted

Draschel:  The STA1 and STA2, trace their roots as Type 61 prototypes. They were designed off M36 Jackson tank destroyer, a rental by Japan.M36 Jackson using the STA1 stock M3A1 90mm with 156 pen, an enclosed turret like T25/2 should be the new tech tree T7 medium (representing rental for STA1/2 designs) The Chi Ri should be given stock OI-Exp 750 horsepower engine, buffed to OI-Exp 125 LFP 125 turret armor, 135 alpha and 4-shot autoloader, and be made tier 7 premium.The change in 130 to 135 alpha only produces 2095 base DPM, negligible increase from current 2019. No problems in disturbed balance.  With this, it would be an unique tier 7 premium. 4x135 clip isn't even broken either, as M4A 10 has that same clip a tier lower 

Draschel:  He isn't. Everyone one of his posts are insults. Its not like passive-aggressive jabs, such as an unicum telling someone not so unicum, to ''get better.''  nothing like that. He just one-liner insults people with name calling. Really.He got his former account banned most likely, and is here continuing on in his spreading of his 'good' wordAlot of what he has to say is sort of the typical Macbethian half truths too, Green stuff. Actually alot like you, or Smok3 here. Like he only knows half of whats going on. 

Draschel:  People waste time reading your posts, that never make any sense.And have zero credibility.And give others headaches 

Draschel: K91PT, Concept, Phase, T55A, 777-II, Kamp pz  heck even Strv K are flexible tier 9 tanks. More so than Kunze and Char futur. While Strv K maybe strange choice, and I would not be quick to say its, defacto good - I just think it has enough tools and is well rounded that serves more uses than the highly specialized Kunze, Char, 114. People can say Phase is slow, and really it isn't with the newfound field mods and mobility slot, reaching 17.5 HP/T and 40 top speed is quite good. Better than conqueror and M103. 777-ii is a super heavy that is surprisingly quick, and doesn't have a dumb usual super heavy layout or their cumbersome size.  Good players will make Kunze and Char futur work. They have the tools they need for map control and repositioning. But the others have more tools 

Jaguarz:  Honestly, I found the Char fun and pretty easy to 3 mark in spite of being "harder" than the Kunze while the Kunze is being an irritant which is mainly down to the construction of the tanks and the maps that arise, garbage maps like Ensk and airfield hurt the Kunze more while the Char can dance across the map dumping clips and running away. Now dont get me wrong, I really enjoy the Kunze, I think Im second in it atm on the ranking thing but the Char is a joy (for me) to play. RE: Char Vs Skoda and Standard, it has better alpha, pen, clip potential, much better gold round (though a low ammo count for all rounds), better velocity, better speed, better camo, I mean its not like the Char is king of the world or anything but it holds its own in the right hands and its a good fit for me and compliments my vulture-like playstyle and my 8 perk crew doesnt hurt either. The Char and the Kunze are both multi functional tanks but I find the drawback of the Char (monster reload) easier to deal with most of the time (run, flex, relocate, read the battle) where the Kunzes mechanic can be its own downfall at times. But you know, to each their own and all that. We had half this chat in another thread when I was whining about the 55a which frustrates me now and I enjoyed your perspective as I looked at the tank in more detail again, I dont think the 55a will be a good fit for me again but it seems to be a bit of a beast tank, the problem in the 55a is me but I seem to be a benefit in the Char. I think it also helps 3 marking it as you get confident in playing it  but as its "done" you dont have the pressure of keeping damage up which I think is hurting me in the Kunze atm, Im pretty sure Im just trying too hard in it atm. 

Jaguarz:  I get my biggest bang for my buck out of my vision spec, allows you to multirole effectively and suck up all that tasty assisted damage. Also learning when to refresh your clip is a dark art.  Also nice game Warp103, get more cats

Draschel:  It is a tier X though. They have given high pen rounds to Leo, K91, 121. And these tanks generally have better gun handling than Bat too. Considering Bat Chat bad dispersion, vulnerability, I don't think accuracy, aim-time, base pen matter too much especially since it ends up using ubiquitous 330 HEAT anyway. Clip potentials, lol.  I don't know why tanks like Lorraine, GSOR 1, Char futur, Bat Chat T, Standard B, Progetto 65 are singled out and suffer.....but the Skoda meds, Skoda 56, Somua, Vz 55 are ''fine'' Skoda meds, Skoda 56, VZ55 should receive Skoda T27 treatment. That will make them real fine. 

Draschel:  I think the Char futur is over rated. Is it better than Bat Chat 25AP, yes. But I don't think it is like K91PT, AE Phase 1,  777-II, kamp panzer, Concept.People can make it work because it has camo, speed, dangerous gun - but so does Kunze? It just is not a good tank. But better than Bat Chat 25AP if I wanted to be sniper schnitzel, Type 61, AMX30, PTA are better for it. If I wanted to be clip assassin, why not Skoda or Standard? The tanks just mediocre.  i do wish tho they buffed the Bat Chat 25 T to Char futur gun attributes. The tier X bat chat could certainly use the 0.34 acc, 2.2 aim time, 264 base pen

Draschel: The most important thing(s) when examining a players performance, is legitimacy in their performance. Lets look at my Cent 7/1. 63 W/R  3,350 combined, 1115 exp, 1.6 KPG, 0.5 armor use. None of them are seemingly out of place, at expense of another. The W/R isn't 85% with the very usual way less combined followed because platoons certainly help you win, but correspondingly also steal your use. Or another big one is kill stealing. Seeing a kill-average of 2.2? But then their combined isn't 2.5k because they sacrifice dealing damage and assistance, constantly peering for and holding out for 1-shots to nab Another great example was that Gasu guy, mr purple text resident E25 specialist. Sure you can call him a damage farmer. But how is that bad? His E25 is outside of this world, and still maintains a great win rate. Damage farming is an idiotic myth people have come up with to retort to the few instances, sour instances, they lose a win because someone chasing damage/kills has left cap and then loses them the game after. Which mostly the case, the only reason the team ever was in position to win that battle anyway, was because of the guys contribution? Idiotic. The seldom chance this ever happens, FAR OUTWEIGHED by their consistent damage, kills, spotting, positioning that wins battles. 

Draschel:  It was part of the WoT Dossier I used back in 2014-2015, I am sure it still exists. You can see the most common tanks you destroy (as in actual specified tank)  the trees you knock over, the wins you have outside Companies (the obsolescence mode before skirmishes)  wins globally - as these team companies and CW used to tack onto your service record main stats whereas current adv/skirms are in their own category.  Etc.  https://worldoftanks...itary_personnel This is one such player. Like, granted he wins. He has a better win rate than me. Than many people better than me too. But does horrendously little in these wins? 

Draschel: the arrogance, of someone sneering at another who contributes in all sorts of ways:  blocked, travelled, damage, assistance, kills at the expense of wins?                                                                                                                               VS:  someone who platoons with others to just win by doing far less than they should Well, prove me wrong in that you aren't an outlier. Show me platoon battles. The tool exists You remind me of that guy calling for FORCE, or those CIA guys. That sit in 3 man platoons of valentine II, T127, Pz B2 to win 80% their battles, then you look at their performance and see they muster like 350 combined only. How is this differing in anyway, calling someone a stat padder. You play just for wins, at expense of everything else. VS someone who plays for everything else, and these thigns result in more wins anyway? You have no sense. Thats why you are perm green

Draschel:  

Draschel:  This is the problem with greens. They let their sole convictions and ignorance drag them down, preventing them to elevate themselves to something more. And they stay that way forever.  Worse yet, the sheer ignorance and contempt, leads such people to sneer at others  better. And for the 1,200th time, 3-marks includes assistance, not just damage.As far as I can tell, you will be that way forever. Someone who platoons to win, but largely remains a green in the battles. Is there something wrong with that? Most certainly not. But don't pretend. You run around with 3 alts in the same clan, and all perform relatively similar. Because you refuse to get better. 

Draschel:  And you do alot of dragging? What difference does it make? Everyone is allowed to post their own persona? Take the resident hated unicum, you know that guy from youjo looking down on everyone not his level. Whats his name, miner? Who cares. He comes on posts something, I must admit quite obnoxious, about an achievement, and he himself bewildered why people don't do the same. Well, lets look at this for a second. Your argument turns insulting, dismissive, negative. What difference does it make. People hate what they don't have, nor understand. You are no different.  perhaps if YOU TOOK the time, to look at tonnes of resources, streamers, inclinations, better players deployments -- and were willing to can the pride and put in an effort to get better,  you wouldn't be stuck at 6k PR in 70,000 battles. Like really, let go bar and ditch the training wheels. Fly.    

Jaguarz: Hell no, M60A2 Starship please!!
