DeviouslyCursed:  The problem with any sort of league or group system, especially if there is a hard or set cutoff, is you will have people throwing games when they are bottom of a top group, so they can slide back down and be top of the lower group. Being top dog in a baddie group is far better than being bottom/fodder of the good group.

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah, it's no wonder the people who will get completely screwed oppose the idea. That's like asking minorities why they don't support racism.  "Hey, here's a system that will totally discriminate against you, and make everything worse for you just because you are you. You don't have a problem with that, do you?" Random MM is blind to skill levels, and all are treated equally. This is fair. 

stabbymckill: Good morning Tankers, 
The 77th anniversary of the allied invasion of Europe is approaching quickly, and we are planning a two part operation of our own to help commemorate it! 

The event will be broken into two phases, the first beginning June 1  and the second beginning June 6 and running through June 15.  Earn liberation coins in each mission phase to purchase items from the Liberator Store!
There's quite a few details to follow on this one, so get them all in the article here. 
Happy tanking! 

_BobaFett: Couple of good ones here and there, but the vast majority of them are inferior to their Russain counterparts.

Jaguarz: Regardless of a tanks characteristics, sometimes a tank just doesnt gel with a player and their playstyle.

_BobaFett: Sounds good to me.

_BobaFett: I like all of the changes. Looking forward to the update.

_BobaFett: Needs 8 degrees of gun depression and a smaller/thicker cupola.

_BobaFett: It's long overdue for one.

TeriyakiTanker: I always find it fascinating that the OP of these threads never comes back.... like never.

Draschel:  Why do you spread,  low quality silliness that doesn't define efficient, useful, quality gameplay that would otherwise help people? Instead you spread nonsense that no one in the right mind would believe, and no single respectable, useful player can agree to. Don't you think you are obligated, to instead say quality things that people, can actually listen to and learn? 

Draschel: Jumbo should be using the 76  for DPM and consistency 

Draschel: And you are ignoring the reasons to choose either tank, that were clearly provided

DeviouslyCursed:  It's not rigged, you are just a frustrated baddie. 

DeviouslyCursed:  Also this.

Draschel:  You call that a nerf?  75 HE pen is still 50% more than other 105mm gun tanks that have HE shells, typically 53 pen.  When the tier 10 mediums all had high pen HE in testing stages, they ere immediately balanced and not released like that, nerfing most to 53-60mm HE.  Also, they were supposed to nerf the damage too, the EBR should be dealing 480 like others, not 500  

Draschel: You think STA2 has mediocre acceleration and mobility? Jesus I hate to think what you believe has bad or good mobility. 

DeviouslyCursed: I think it's about time for another ridiculously bad sports analogy.

Both? did seem like they were complaining about both things to me.

Felipe6666Original: Como lo prometido es deuda, paso por última vez por estos pagos para saludar al nuevo encargado de la comunidad hispanoablante de las Américas. ¡Los mayores de los éxitos en esta nueva etapa, Adam!  Y un último pedido a todos: les pido que ayuden y apoyen a Adam como han hecho conmigo, a pesar de las diferencias, a lo largo de tres maravillosos años. ¡Mucha suerte para todos, los quiero mucho! ¡Cambio y fuera!

_BobaFett: I would like better maps, not just more maps.

_BobaFett:  Arty is not going to be affected by these changes.

_BobaFett: The 430 for overall robustness.

_BobaFett: While I am against PR MM, a co-op mode would be nice.

_BobaFett: Weird, I have the opposite problem. When I use boosters I seem to win more often than when not.

Curious.

Draschel: aiming for weakspots using HE makes sense still. With any shell actually, if you can afford to do so. 1-  aiming for that said weakspot, may not work even with premium ammunition with particular HE-based gun. Panzer IV and Jumbo, will still not penetrate  OI  or AT7 with HEAT from 105mm, but by aiming at thinner armor weakspots can deal more damage using HE.2-  aiming with HE, in a particular way to track and damage a tank, versus just tracking and dealing no damage, is definitely an advantage. 3-  distance. Sometimes enemies are just too far away, and accuracy is improbable. Using HEAT or AP, you can hit the most hardened part of a tank, right beside a weakspot possibly. HE  can mean you still deal some damage, rather than none  

Draschel: Man, crazy. Still no 3rd mark. 

Draschel: I did not say OI needed buffing. I just said it was nerfed, and KV2 hasn't been, because WG is unwilling to change KV2R. And because they aren't willing to change KV2R, they are buffing it, and hence buff KV2 as well. Does KV2 need a buff?  Wait, what? Did you just say tanks like Schmulturm, AC4, Fury, Loza are fine?  Please, tell me you didn't write that. Who said anything about super mobile. I just want SOME mobility. Not 60 tonne heavy tank med mobility, in a tank actually 30 tonnes. I mean seriously, they gave Anhou the 440 horsepower engine. Why the heck not give it to deserving tanks too, like Schmulturm and Stug IV.  +1.5HP/T won't be something you pick up on as a huge change, like tanks with huge amounts of inherit engine power, like a CDC or LT432 or E25. But on a tank that needs it? A tank that can use it and benefits, it will be noticeable. My 121 mobility, is vastly different, with +1.75HP/T.  IS7 drives considerably different, with the engine buffs, +1.5HP/T.  Object 268 V 4, it is the opposite. It feels quite a deal slower, with the engine nerf. STG guard is considerably different, same with Super Pershing, with their engine changes. So will 59 Patton with its planned engine buff. What you are basically saying, is turbo charger doesn't help. Because the horsepower it provides, is meaningless. It won't matter,  lol.  On a pudel or Bretagne, in +% boost slot, dude its +1.5HP/T I can't take you seriously.  AT15, Tortoise, old FV183, new FV4005, Badger all have comfortable, wide gun arc. The a great asset of them being useful in corridor maps, as assault guns, are because of wide gun arc. Jag panther, Ferdinand, Jag Tiger used to be above average, with 12 / 15 / 10 because many TD had bad gun traverse, 5-10 deg. That changed with the 263 line getting boosted. ISU now getting boosted. French ones getting boosted. If something like Ferdinand, ever had an advantage of wide gun arc, its just average now. Whereas things like SU101, 263 may have had them as faults before, they have been evened out to average. Who gets s--- on here?  Not RUSHA, that much is true WZ120G has the gun of a tier 10 medium, and the DPM isn't like that of a tier 8 medium  (Kanonen 105 and AMXCDA)  SU130PM and Skorpion and Charioteer have tier 10 guns, and even turrets.....and still don't have the DPM of a miserable tier 8 medium. When AMX mle 48 did not have an auto loader, its AMX50B  120mm was single shot, again the DPM wasn't anemic. And it is a tier 10 gun. Same with Jag Panther II. Should I even mention TS5  DPM? S1.  There is a trend here. CDA and Kanonen 105 need DPM adjustment. I am not saying give them WZ120G  DPM, but 2,300-2,400 range,  like S1  is just fine. That is 10 %, and by no means does this make them powerful. These tanks also have considerably bad dispersion stats too. Meaning their actual aim-time, accuracy maybe good,  but are plagued by terrible .21 and .23 dispersion stats making their supposed gun handling a myth. Compare those dispersion rates with TS5, WZ120G.......250 HEAT is bad for a tier 8 TD. 250 HEAT is even worse, non-sensical, when you have 238 AP pen. There is actually, virtually no point in it.  STA2, M56 have similar low pressure HEAT guns, give it 275 HEAT like them.  I didn't compare the two TD to SU12244. I compared them to WZ120G, which compares similarly to SU12244. Read.  Why not? Tier 6 can get 1-shot by TD with 750 alpha. You think 420 is scary? By the way, Borsig and ISU that 1-shot tier 6s with 750 alpha are also camo, campy TD with higher DPM,  lol.  I have no problem with WG adjusting CDA and Kanonen 105 to 2,300 - 2,400 DPM range, giving 105  Leopards 420 alpha won't change too much, it isn't game breaking. S1, WZ120G, SU130PM, Charioteer, Skorpion still are a tonne better.   Because something is in Tier 9, doesn't make it a tier 9 hull. What kind of remark is that?  I would not even call Tiger II, with buffed 160mm suitable in tier 9 because of its slowness. VK4502A hull is effectively 235mm AP, by the way, and I think that is suitable for a  super heavy tier 8. Not tier 9. Where do you come up with this?  150mm with its slope, effectively 210 vs AP. Like a T54, sure that is nice for a dynamic medium. But a slow large heavy? You are right, Tiger II doesn't need a 160mm Glacis. It needs an 170mm glacis, 130mm LFP. 90mm side plate. Then it can actually attempt at being an appropriate tank. VK4502A the speedy tank, Tiger II the middle ground,  VK100P the superheavy.  You make me laugh. You are a blue, trapped in 2013. Don't take this the wrong way, not calling you bad. You obviously aren't. There is a disconnect, where you aren't truly envisioning the game, a peak. Stuck in 5th gear and won't rev to 6th. Where and when people are now punching out 3k +, 3.5k even, dare I say the gents in top 3 content with 4k....you seem fine still with your wondrous 2.3k. Nice. Like, for reals champ, drive a chieftain and 260...... and do what people do in Tier 9 Conqueror. Real nice. And I don't know if it took you actually 1,700 BP for that Cent 7/1 3MoE, but here is the way its done right, 3 years ago, with the 20lb gun because I think its better than L7 and was unwilling to spend the free experienchttps://ibb.co/McT7Jj2      

DeviouslyCursed: Mine doesn't. When I have lag issues, auto aim is the best way to continue to get hits. Or at least get your shot towards the enemy. Provide a reply of what you are describing and maybe we can see or figure it out.

DeviouslyCursed:  This was all answered in The Matrix trilogy. If you haven't seen it, watch it. 

Draschel: It is a game of position.  A chessboard.  So, when dealing with a hull down tank, trying to remove it and destroy it, by target plinking with HE? This is an awareness, a skill, a position problem.  You are forcing yourself into a bad position, to deal with an entrenched enemy, in a good position. And fighting on their advantageous terms. Regardless of what you do, the enemy is already out-witting you, at onset. This is a loser's tactic, unless the hulldown enemy has like 15HP and your HE removes him By the way, Super Conqueror front turret, outside of the gun mantle square and uncovered by the spaced armor cheeks,  ranges from 280-316mm. Meaning  premium ammunition like E100 and Skorpion  311 pen APCR, or SU130PM with 320 HEAT, can certainly threaten super conqueror. And tier X 330-350 pen ammo? Childs play.  That is why chieftain  (along with its speed)  replaced super conqueror so quickly. The turret is stronger and more reliable, even without spaced armor cheeks  

Draschel:  You are calling stuff far farfetched but the tomato, self serving attitude of forcing a skill queue, isn't? Everyone, has it under their own power, to improve. Themselves. Not have MM queue to their abilities in a  self righteous way, to prevent them from being seen as a baddy, as their statistics are slowly evened out for them, because of lack of ability and incompetence to do so themselves. That is what SBMM folly, complaints are. A sneaky, useless attempt at the preservation of one's own image.  "I don't want to be shamed, so make everyone 50% W/R"  Instead of genuinely, taking it upon themselves to constructively improve.  If the entire argument of SBMM is about equity, fairness, what is right.....Then it is completely a farce, lunacy in concept. Because what is truly, only fair.....is random based que. Everyone, has the equal opportunity, presented before them. Everyone, is in charge of their own destiny, and the results they procure. People, not getting the statistical parity, straightening their curve because they are to casual to give it an ounce of effort themselves 

Draschel:  If you get by, by trying to HE** T95, right now, and that is your solution for dealing with enemies like a T95.....well it explains a lot.  No explanations needed.

_BobaFett:  

Draschel:  This is laziness. silly over sight. They can change the name of the module easily. They can simply add an A, D, M, (i) to the designation, separating them. Whatever. They did this, ironically  years and years ago, when modules were all the same and shared. They all had the same engines. They have done it tens of times already.  40 free horsepower is not nothing. That changes A43 by 1.5HP/T. An already extremely fast tier 6 med. Do you even hear yourself? I play the STG guard, and boy has it changed in dynamics. A big part of that, is 50, not a whole lot different than 40, free horsepower. KV2 is going up  .75 HP/T, which surely isn't bad either. But KV85 and KV1S, as opposed to KV2 and T150 needed this. They are the tech tree fast heavy tanks. KV2 doesn't need any buffs. And OI isn't getting any? Nice, RUSHA!  Actually it still isn't bouncing back from prior nerf, that they never nerfed KV2 with. Because they are afraid of their goody KV2®  and nerfing a premium.  KV2 can run the 107mm, and get far more consistency than even un-nerfed 152 HE gun. It has more DPM than T150, OI  with 100mm, ARL44 (even with damage bonus APCR)  People just don't know their left hand from their right, and are incredibly incompetent Tanks like Habicha, Chi To, AC4, Loza, Fury,  Schmulturm can all use engine horsepower upgrades,  significantly slow tier 6 tanks, as opposed to A43. Don't tell me baloney.  And they all deserve it too.  Why not, HP? They gave ISU 152  190 HP, Why shouldn't ISU130 get it? It wouldn't hurt. 43 km/hr top speed would be nice addition too. The arc is a fine buff, I forgot of that. But it is fine, granted. They gave these kind of arc buffs to SU101 /  263  line too.  But they can't just buff soviet arcs,  and leave out the rest of the TD in the game. That was once their advantage, wider field of fire than Soviet arc. Now they are giving arc to soviet tanks, gun depression too, BUT LEAVING OTHER NATIONS high and dry. Are you playing the same game I am? Seems you aren't.  Kanonen 90 and 105 are terrible. 238 / 250 pen? What kind of setup is that. And it is not even pref. Sure, give ISU the pen, why not. Kanonen 105, why not Leopard and Leo PTA gun yet? It had their gun before, why not those buffs?  Not Rusha, of course.  CDA isn't so terrible, but compare these towards WZ120G or SU12244? They are jokes. Jag Tiger is still a piece of crap. And yes, they can continue buffing it and continue it remaining a pref. What are you talking about. They just did it to Suka Pershing, professor. Suka Pershing was fine, and they just made it better. And guess what Prof, it is still a pref. Give Jag Tiger 300 HP, and 280 alpha like Panther 88. And that isn't a tier 9 hull. The word you are looking for, is "Defender". Say it together, with me. D e f e n d e r,  RUSHA.  That is a tier 9 hull, actually many will call it tier 10.  While they are at it, give it Tiger II  160mm glacis buff.
