Is shooting Premium Rounds in pub games a sign of weakness?

Subject: Is shooting Premium Rounds in pub games a sign of weakness?
Link on message: #8114040

Lert: Yes, it is totally and completely a weakness to use the tools available to everyone, provided to you by the people who decide what you can and cannot do during a game. Oftentimes it might be unnecessary (128mm APCR at a BatChat? Really?) and othertimes it might work against you (critical hit on my tracks with 100mm HEAT where AP would have gone right through) but weakness? No. Besides, they're your credits that you're shooting. It doesn't affect me in the least. Think about it: - Using premium when regular would've gone through as well? Then who cares what round was used against you. What difference does it make to you? - Using premium when regular wouldn't have gone through? Well done you. You used the tool available when necessary.

He doesn't want constructive criticism, he just wants to stand there on top of his tower and scream down at us.

The source says it can be applied to one tank of any nation. Can't say I'm too impressed. It's just the three basic colors of german summer camouflage in a slightly different pattern.

Então mesmo fazendo 600 de xp limpa em derrota n tava sendo o suficiente pra ganhar essa compensação. Sei la, poderia ser mais fácil de pegar isso, poderia dar 25% de xp e créditos pros 3 primeiros do time perdedor, n seria premiação cheia, e quando pegasse medalha épica dai seria premiação cheia, mas com 25% a mais de créditos tbm, pra concertar o tank.

Capitao_Desastre_: Essa ideia me parece interessante. Mas seria algo como os requisitos de missão, em que precisa ficar nos 10 melhores mesmo que por exemplo o 9º e o 10º tenham xp baixa? É verdade que dando a recompensa para os três melhores perdedores, sem mais condicionantes, seria o mais equilibrado e simples, mas para efeitos de debate, que formas teriamos de poder premiar apenas quem tivesse realmente contribuido?

Lert: Each shot that hits its target has at least 3 rolls of RNG: - Where it goes in the aiming circle, according to a gaussian distribution. - How much pen it has when it strikes the target, +/- 25% - How much damage it does if it does make it into the target, +/- 25% More rolls of RNG are very possible, for example when the shell also hits a module, when it encounters spaced armor, etc. Basically, every separate 'event' carries its own roll.

Tenet, on Nov 11 2014 - 18:31, said: What constitutes this INSTA-GIB Mr. Barett is referring to? It means that some player on the other team was exposed to an artillery shot and got instantly removed from the game, with no opportunity to react. This player, lets call him Alfred, is experiencing a certain set of feelings - primarily anger and disappointment at the unexpected and end to the fun he was having, combined with the realization that he was entirely helpless against the scourge that took him away. I've suffered from chronic conditions in my life, not as deadly as cancer but quite debilitating and discomforting, and I can tell you that this feeling of Helplessness is the exact opposite of why people use Video Games for recreation. When you see another player in a tank and you engage and you lose the fight, there is the excitement of the engagement to compensate for the disappointment. Alfred would say "I lost this time but I'll get him next time. I nudged left instead of nudging right. I should have retreated and flanked when I saw them coming, etc." Even while losing, when fighting other tanks it's an INTERACTION. Artillery does NOT provide an interaction, beyond the knowledge that someone was lucky with the random number generator. There is no warning.

The_Chieftain: I am at something of a loss to see how that is the case for arty vs a TD. Except that the difference in time between 'click' and 'effect' in an artillery is usually a couple of seconds, and that same time difference is usually a second or less in direct fire. That same post-death analysis to which you refer is just as valid against indirect fire as it is against direct. "Maybe I shouldn't have stayed still as long. Maybe I should re-evaluate how effective I think my camouflage is. Maybe I should zig-zag more when crossing open terrain. Maybe I should use an equipment slot on a toolkit so I'm not sitting in the open as long if tracked by HE as a slow heavy" And so on. I think it's about time I did a rerun of my test stream about a year and a half ago. I play in a manner which most people would not consider "Arty safe", and for the sake of the experiment, streamed 9 games over 75 minutes, counted every artillery round I could detect that was aimed at me, and checked the results. I can't recall if this was pre or post arty nerf. Of 19 rounds fired at me in my Tier IX and X games, 11 missed entirely. Only five were actual direct hits (Of which three came from direct fire in a game in which my heavy was engaging a park of four artillery pieces). Three rounds killed me, only one from a generally 'healthy' state. (And if you think having an XVM marker on your head makes you a target, you should see what happens when you have a WGA clan tag and my name.) Of late I've been streaming longer sessions, albeit rarer. I'll try to make a note to do the same thing over an even longer period next time I stream, though my unscientific observation is that I've not noticed any particular increase in my being blown up by artillery in the last year.

Quote In many cases the maps Wargaming designs do not contain safe areas. When you load into Prokhorovka or Fiery Salient or Malinovka in a large or heavy tank, with 2-3 artillery pieces on the other side, or even one good one, and you notice you have the best stats on the team, you realize that 99% of your game would consist of dodging shells, with the first shell just as capable of finishing you off in one hit as the last. It's oppressive.

The_Chieftain: Just means you have to alter your threat priority evaluation. I suspect artillery is very low on the threat priority evaluation on Himmelsdorf, and other types of tanks move up the list instead. I reject your analysis based on a claim of 'oppression.' I certainly don't consider myself oppressed.

Quote You have a problem when people's feelings get hurt when a loss they suffered is triggered by mentioning the name of the disease. You seem to have no problem with feelings hurt by one sided abuse in what is otherwise a fun mental sport.

The_Chieftain: Yes, I do have a problem when people's feelings get hurt un-necessarily. This is supposed to be a fairly friendly and welcoming place for all players to chat about the game. Nothing you have said indicates why an opinion on the game effect of artillery should overrule the simple concept of "Be considerate of others." It doesn't make your argument any stronger or weaker. If you must consider the effect of artillery in the game as an abuse (to which I also object), at least there's relevance because artillery -is- a part of the game as per the game design.

Link on message: #8111741

Lert: Every battle you earn credits and XP. To use that XP to upgrade your tank, click on the little 'research' button to the right of the screen in the garage. You'll get a window similar to this:

The green buttons with stars are modules that haven't been researched yet. Click on them to research them. The yellow buttons are modules that have been researched but not purchased and mounted. Click on a yellow button to buy and mount the module. The checkmark signifies modules that you have mounted on your tank. In order to buy the next tank in line, you have to research it first. In my screenshot, that is the tank called '110', that has not been researched yet. I have to grind my IS-2 to get the XP necessary to unlock the 110, before I can buy it. (A note on mounting modules: some modules are heavier than others, and can't be mounted until the upgraded tracks have been researched and mounted)

Lert: Please explain how an 88 L/56 at tierb6 on a Tiger has more penetration than an 88 L/56 at tier 6 on a VK36.01H. @OP: your idea would leave us with a tank at tier 6 which has very much the same mobility as VK36.01H, the same armor as VK36.01H and the same firepower as VK36.01H. We already have a heavy tank at tier 6 with those atttributes: the VK36.01H. Tiger as it is now at tier 7 is a very, very powerful tank in its own right. Don't stare yourself blind on the historical reputation of the tank, that's a result of it going up against what basically amounts to stock tier 5's.
