_BobaFett: Meh, it's free stuff and free tanks. I'm not inclined to complain too much.

_BobaFett: The KV-5 is astronomically far from being pay to win.

_BobaFett:  I would say no. Frustrating customers would only cause them to spend less money, which is a no-go for WG. 

Draschel: My thunderbolt runs supercharger main +% slot to correct its mobility flaw. This makes it only a tad slower than T-3485M, not bad. Then I got ventilation and rammer. If you can afford bonds ventilation, go for it. Unfortunately, no room for optics or stabilizer. Because you have a radioman, you get situational awareness easy. Even with auto fire ext instead of food if you are cheap or want that security, if you can manage grabbing Recon, you get 410m sight line which is okay for a tier 6 crapper. 

Draschel: Don't be baited into nonsense, it is important.Don't let a clown effect your gaming experience.  A good player seeks to utilize the best possible scenario of his situation, position.And this includes the worst outcomes you maybe headed for - no matter the outcome.  Think of a lemon, on a table. A great player, ALWAYS seeks to squeeze the lemon dry.Damage, assistance, kill ratio, defense pts, cap pts, win. These are all that matter. Not petty strife and bickering 

Draschel:  Easy answer, don't. You aren't a trained therapist, psychologist, or well-being checker.  Chances are, if a heavy tank top tier, is calling low tier cowards, in most scenarios, whatever you have to say won't change the imbecile's mind anyway. The being in question, is entirely an imbecile, and it wouldn't matter what was said anyway, in one ear out the other, no absorption. So don't bother, you cannot convince, cannot de-escalate. Just ignore him. You cannot win them all, just try your best and don't be baited into nonsense.  But actual pointers for this particular situation, even if you are a low tier heavy, try not to hang back in secluded areas. Try to be involved. Even if it means using, and hopefully trading, your HP. Most low tier heavy tanks, CAN still penetrate high tier mediums. Let us say you were a VK3601? KV1S? KV85. You still have a reasonable chance to penetrate med tanks like T-44-100, 53 Lis, Pantera. And when you trade your HP, in a lowly tier tank at the bottom, for HP towards a high tier highly mobile med - ITS IS WORTH IT TWOFOLD. THREEFOLD. Even if it means taking damage for your high tiers, to preserve them for longer, or later fights - do it. You taking damage in your inconsequential tier 6, to keep a major tier 8 healthy, MEANS ALOT FOR YOUR TEAM, there is no shame in teamwork. You are contributing, huge. Just ignore the nonsense, hold your breath, concentrate, and contribute. And you will get more exp for it, and your team will greatly benefit .....even if an imbecile doesn't know it is happening.  Don't be je-baited, and do your best, in every situation you are in. Always place yourself in the best possible position, to contribute in best possible ways. 

Draschel:  Why do you wat premium ammunition removed?  and why do you want premium tanks cheaper? That is WGs way to earn 

Draschel: No nationalities for no. Expand on existing ones. Czech tank destroyer tree.Japanese tank destroyer tree.Japanese self propelled guns. 

Draschel: Awful panther is fine. Mediocre. Nothing wrong with mediocre though.  Super Chaffee and A46  though, those are the problems. These 2 need real help If there is something awful panther could use, it is some turret armor (80mm maybe) and -8 gun dep

Einzelganger7:  

_BobaFett:  This should be a thing that is posted when people come out with ridiculous conspiracy theories. 

_BobaFett:  The situation was hopeless from the beginning. 

_BobaFett: 4/10 bait.

Use paragraphs next time.

_BobaFett:  There's also no evidence that they do mess with player win rates. So until there is, I have no reason to believe that they do.

_BobaFett: Good thing I enjoy SH.

_BobaFett:  Did not see one either. 

_BobaFett:  But I thought he wanted to prove his skillz.

DeviouslyCursed:  Imagine the arty whine threads... BTW, the Char is 5th in win rate for server stats. It doesn't need a buff. In terms of Win Rate stats for the rewards tanks, it is: 1. Char2. AE Phase3. Obj 7774. Kunz5. K91 (way down on the list compared to the others, it's 6th worst of all tier 9) 

Elias_K_Grodin: I think it's important to note that WoT allows players the option to purchase items such as gold, premiums, and premium account but at the core is the ability to play casual or competitive without spending any of your own money. In addition, the Daily Deals just allows you to see what you catch and if they're lackluster then you'll pass on them. Bottom line is save your gold/money for something that looks too good to pass up. "Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics." - Omar Bradley, United States Army

Elias_K_Grodin: In addition to the Pingplotter run a "Detect and repair" of the client and if you have mods installed, disable them and try launching WoT. If the problem of latency still persists, create a WGreport for WoT and submit it to the Support Team in a ticket so they can take a look.

Einzelganger7: lol Today I got two pairs with the same deal each, they just change for some cents.
 

Einzelganger7: In my opinion what the whole branch needs is shell velocity and/or a bit higher alpha depending on the tank, for example make the Spähpanzer C1 with 800 m/s shell velocity and same alpha, HWK 12 with 800m/s shell velocity and 280 alpha with standard/premium ammo (360 HE and 90mm of pen), RU 251 with 320 alpha while using standard/premium ammo (HE 420 alpha and 102mm pen), and finally Rheinmetall Panzerwagen with 360 alpha using standard/premium ammo (HE 460 alpha and 120mm pen). 

Elias_K_Grodin: Heyo Platoon, I would say you probably should work your way up to the higher tiers because that helps you build on the basics of playing WoT as well as fundamental skills of aiming, positioning, and angling. I came back to WoT after 2 years but even before that I worked my way to Tier V. I have enough experience to unlock Tier VIs, but I'm staying at V to learn and refamiliarize myself with all of the changes, updates, and new maps that have come out since before I to the World of Warships team. For new players, once you get the hang of Tier I and II, you might be able to jump to a Tier V premium once you get the basics and fundamentals down. Anything beyond that and you will likely be food for highly experienced and skilled players. Just my two cents. "There are no secrets to success.

MA77: Saudações,
O próximo veículo do novo ramo checo entrará em breve no Superteste. É o tanque pesado de Nível IX TNH T Vz. 51.  Como os outros tanques pesados ​​da Checoslováquia do Nível VIII ao X, sua principal característica é a possibilidade de escolher entre dois tipos de canhão: um com carregador automático de dois projéteis e outro cíclico. Ambos têm o mesmo calibre, 122 mm, e compartilham várias especificações: o dano médio por disparo é de 390 pontos, o tempo de mira é de 2.5 segundos, o ângulo de depressão é de -7 graus e a penetração dos projéteis AP (padrão) e APCR (especial) atingem 252 mm e 294 mm, respectivamente. Em termos de especificações, os canhões diferem um pouco, com o cíclico tem 0.36 de dispersão e recarrega em 10.2 segundos, enquanto o com carregador automático tem 0.38 de dispersão e recarrega em 20 segundos (o tempo entre disparos é de 2.5 segundos).
A durabilidade e mobilidade são bastante clássicas para um tanque pesado: 1900 pontos de vida, blindagem bem inclinada, espaçada na frente da torre, velocidade máxima de 50 km/h e potência específica de 14.4 hp/t.
Assim como seu “irmão mais velho”, o TNH T Vz. 51 permite que os jogadores escolham com qual modo de disparo eles se sentem mais confortáveis e as demais características do veículo não são problemáticas. Este é um veículo balanceado que permite lidar com qualquer tarefa de tanque pesado.
Lembre-se de que todos os valores estão sujeitos a alterações com base nos resultados do teste.
Boa sorte no campo de batalha! 

Elias_K_Grodin: Artillery is just another threat/asset to be aware of during the battle. Typically, when I get spotted, I displace and move somewhere else because once the enemy team knows where you are, you can expect incoming fire not only from enemy tanks but hell from above as well. Remember, control what you can and adapt to the changing battle situation. "I'm going to fight my way out, I'm going to take all my equipment and all my wounded and as many dead as I can. If we can't get out this way, this Division will never fight as a unit again." - Oliver P, Smith, United States Marine Corps

MA77: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! El próximo vehículo de la nueva rama checoslovaca ingresará pronto al Supertest. Se trata del tanque pesado TNH T Vz. 51 de nivel X.  Al igual que los demás tanques pesados checoslovacos de nivel VIII a X, su principal característica es la posibilidad de elegir entre dos tipos de cañón: uno con autocargador de dos proyectiles y otro sin autocargador. Ambos tienen el mismo calibre, 122 mm, y comparten varias especificaciones: el daño por disparo es de 390 puntos, el tiempo de apuntamiento es de 2,5 segundos, el ángulo de depresión es de -7 grados, y la capacidad de penetración de los proyectiles AP (estándar) y APCR (especiales) alcanza los 252 mm y 294 mm, respectivamente. En cuando a las especificaciones de cada tipo de cañón, el cíclico tiene una puntería de 0,36 y recarga en 10,2 segundos, mientras que el autocargador tiene una puntería de 0,38 y recarga en 20 segundos (el tiempo de recarga entre cada disparo es de 2,5 segundos). La durabilidad y la movilidad son bastante clásicos para un tanque pesado: 1900 puntos de vida, blindaje inclinado, pantallas al frente de la torreta, velocidad máxima de 50 km/h y potencia específica de 14,4 CV/t. Tal como su “hermano mayor”, el TNH T Vz. 51 permite que los jugadores elijan con cuál modo de disparo se sienten más cómodos, y la intención es que ambos vehículos sean igual de efectivos. Las demás características del vehículo no encuentran mayores problemas. Este es un vehículo balanceado que le permite cumplir con cualquier tarea de un tanque pesado. Como siempre, recuerden que todos los valores están sujetos a cambios de acuerdo a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Dejen sus opiniones! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

_BobaFett: In Russia 900 gold for 3 garage slots is a bargain indeed.

Draschel:  he is solid. At tiers 3, 4, 5.Lots of bots, and new players with 60% crew to deal with. 

_BobaFett:  I don't believe his intention was trolling.

Draschel:  First off, great job Bob. You sure have more patience and commitment than I do. The problem with this statement - is not that it don't exist or can't exist or good players do not want to do it. The problem stems from disheartening attitude, feedback, misunderstandings, disparity, Etc. Mentors are nice. They can help, certainly. But people still need to put in the effort, as in homework, to learn on their own. This is not something for someone to hold your hand and carry you to stardom. You need the commitment, effort, pressure - to make you the player you want to be, for example if you hire a tutor. And believe me, tutors are expensive. But hiring a tutor, paying a tutor - will not give you what you want alone. You need to be willing to accept teachings, be put in the right place to take in these teachings, and open to suggestion.   Let us compare this with mathematics, for a second. The two are quite similar. Let us say a college student, A) who is in social science under-grad, pays B) a TA grad student in theoretical and experimental sciences, as a tutor for 1st year curriculum courses, like Calc I, Phys I, Chem I, Linear Algebra, Genetics, Etc. To a social sciences student, these can be quite intimidating and almost certainly unprepared for. And you CANNOT just start learning Calc, unless you have laid a foundation first even with a tutor. You need high school prep, like algebra 1+2, pre-Calc functions, Introductory Chem and Physics, Etc. If you don't know these founding concepts, the tutor FIRST TEACHES YOU THESE, before the university content. Same goes for tanks. Before you want, deploy, try to paly well......you must understand HOW TO PLAY well. And this takes time, causes frustration, Etc.  

DeviouslyCursed:  I already told you why it's not rigged, you're just too stupid to understand it. Random isn't rigged. Can you prove WG intentionally put people on those teams specifically to cause an imbalance? That's what I thought. So not rigged. You are wrong. You are also wrong about why WG won't fix it. They believe skill should matter. Random MM allows it to matter. GG troll.
