Draschel:  I just posted in the thread title, someone smoothly countering the 2 key with armor plate. He does it in other tanks not just an angled IS7, but flat slab armor super heavies too.  If you want examples, ask.  Even in CW, Adv,  armor works. If you have to aim at your enemy, and your enemy does not have to aim at you, that is significant. Aiming means a rammer nerf, and not having to aim, means an auto-aim rammer buff. I see it all the time. 260, Chieftain, 279E, 110E3, 268V4 bouncing shells left right center. Not even the heavy junkers, I see it with meds too, 140, 907, STB1. Look at tank damage logs and hits taken after a battle like that, and see all the non pens that exist. If you do not understand these concepts, you are still too inexperienced to refute the claim.  Does premium help penetrate more? Sure does. Does it open up new live model weak spots on tanks? Sure does. Does it negate armor from playing a role? Sure doesn't. Does it remove bounces in any scene of play? (competitive, session, pub)  Nope, sure doesn't. Will it make bad players great ones? Don't make me laugh.   

Draschel: Let's say I started my AMX M4 finally,  and fired exclusively 105mm APCR. And I'd do it no other way, for sure. Maybe 3-4 HE, for some junk like HK30  and SU130PM if I see it. I do so, for shell velocity and trajectory, to not be intimidated by higher tiers and to contribute by "punching up", for an outrageous free damage perk, to mitigate 167 penetration vs 223, to mitigate minimum penetration roll on 167 which can be as low as 125 - not even enough to penetrate SU100 or jag pz IV for goodness sake, do you think that is fair for a 167 AP gun? All of these reasons, I believe are legitimate, and perfectly fine reasons for using APCR.  A bad example because ARL44 and AMX M4 free damage boost, but none of the other reasons really require premium ammo against something like AMX CDC other than contact range as I said before if in that CDC I laugh. And really that is what I think of as an actual *spammer. When you are driving your T-92 or Senlac or HK30 light tank and start taking 320 damage from 140 or TVP using HEAT. Not once, repeated. Funny stuff. 

Draschel: Slav is significantly better than the people here, posting opposed to premium ammunition usage, or deeming what constitutes ''a good, fair reason'' for exceeding usage of it. Now, please, do not get me wrong I am not using that insultingly. I am not here to say, he is better, his opinion means more than yours or his/her's.  As a video game, we all have our reasons we consider, what we hold in higher or lower esteem. But understandingly, the mere fact that he is more competitive, means he is more serious in the matter. And he cannot be held accountable for that, serious versus casual. And because there is the choice of seriousness, whether it is for a desired image, a 3-mark, to get into a clan, to earn rewards - whatever the reason and there are many - we need to understand that. And on the otherhand, the other spectrum, casualness tends to brush off things and topics as not serious. Why? Because they, themselves aren't serious, why would they consider severity? Sense, right? He chooses to minimize randomness, to minimize the impact of randomness towards performance. Do you buy an outrageously priced Ducati, Maserati, BMW bike to fuel it with 89 octane gas as you would with a Suzuki? Or do you use 94. Does someone who pays 3x more for premium pilsner, get really understood explaining his choices when talking to someone very content with stocking, and guzzling malt Colt 45? You need to understand the person you are talking to, or just reviewing, before forming an opinion  

Draschel:  Most people think high tier. Professionally, representatively, Etc. When publishing work, showcasing it, it should not tend to be low tier. Otherwise people tend to frown upon it. With this person in particular, generally only low tiers for a purpose, like gifted a tank to Ace by WG themselves, or 3-mark sessions.  But sub 9? Well, he just did a video on VK4502 in tier 8, and did outrageously outstanding. Again there, APCR wasn't spammed outright and only used when deemed necessary. There are content on Tiger II (postbuff) E75TS, VK7501, Lowe. Lowe has fantastic armor hulldown, and VK7501 will compete as well as any other Tier 8 side scrape heavy, like Chrysler, IS-M, Kreslavsky Can't say much about any lower than that. VK3001P, VK3601, Tiger P, 131 and Mark 6 have awful armor schemes. Bretagne, Pudel, VK3002 have good armor profiles for low tier medium though, quite comparable to T3485M or P43 BIS

Draschel:  When someone with conviction, distaste - labels one a gold spammer, they do so with derogatory bad aftertaste and a foul tone. It is done as a sour insult. Let us look at some rhetoric, shall we? "This person fires alot of premium ammunition.""You gold spammer" Both say the same thing, but one does so insultingly.  25% is clearly too much. Overwhelming community and population will say the same. It among other reasons, are very good reasons to use premium. At any rate, many people have reasons for exclusively discharging premium ammunition. Some good, some bad. Who are we to judge? When I look at damage log in my corners, and I see HEAT, HEAT, HEAT, HEAT or APCR, APCR, APCR - I don't blame the player shooting me. I am sure there are reasons. If I was inside my AMX CDC at the time and see it, again I don't blame the player as they surely didn't need it. I laugh to myself actually, but why hold someone in contempt? If I were in my Defender or VK7501, I actually applaud them for it, good job. 

Draschel:  Do you want examples of it?  The same author Skill,  has many examples of VK100 P, VK4502 P, E75, VK7501, Pz K VII, E100. They are readily available with easy searches just under his tube name, he has an easy chart for such content. Interesting he uniquely likes Pz K VII. He doesn't like super heavy tanks in general because they are slow - but he makes their armor work and doesn't just spam premium rounds.  No need to be rude. 

Draschel: How are .22/.22 dispersion and 1.44/2.21 terrain okay soft stats?WZ111 isn't considered okay, and has .19/.19. Your posts, holy moly.  

Draschel: T57 is slow, not because 'it'  itself, is slow. But rather because 'it' has a low speed cap. Actually, the HP/T, track traverse, rotation aren't bad for a heavy tank. All these reasons, consider possibly supercharger to improve its mobility. Rotation mechanism is also great, because it calms those terrible dispersion numbers. T57 is a close combatant, you need to remember that. The armor isn't reliable at all, for sure. But is definitely better than AMX50B. Although the accuracy may state otherwise, in practice T57 accuracy is insanely wild when used anywhere but close ranges. If you aren't too caught up on the idea of supercharger for increased mobility, consider choices like vertical stabilizer, rotation mechanism, aiming device, ventilation. Don't waste your time on gun laying drive, it is secondary to stabilizer, rotation, aiming, Etc. Consider bounty equipment or bonds stuff, if you have/afford it. They will certainly help. T57 lacks the versatile application, continued presence, and dependability of tanks like 279E, Chieftain, and 260. No amount crew skill, equipment, directives will elevate it to those levels either. But T57 in the right position, the right time, is still insanely dangerous. That is what you want, to get it into those positions, where it can be very dangerous, as often as possible.   

Draschel:  

Draschel:  Okay there..... firstly, sigh.  Shame on you. How can you not know that? Something so basic, and for 3 years? For reals, yo.That is quite a poisonous response too. Quite an ignorant action, too. To just insult someone with a blunt retort like that. Is that your attitude? To get corrected over an error, then bluntly blurt out? Label someone? Post to incite? Holy moly. 

Draschel:  No one is asking/telling you not too. And yes, 25% RNG berth is one of the major reasons people do spam it. This isn't a condemning inquiry. This is just visual explanation and proof that it can exist in randoms.  I am not sure why the thread took this sort of turn. No one is pointing at anyone, and telling them what to do or not. This is just a visual cue, as to what can happen in randoms, even without spending a shilling on premium ammunition. Additionally, I also share the thought, that 25% RNG berth is too high. Truth be told, 12.5% is even too high. 12.5% is the figure in pokemon, and pokemon damage calculations involving 12.5% spread runs people up into a frenzy too. I think 10% is still sharp, but alot of individuals would agree it is fine. Lastly, changing the RNG berth, reducing it in this case won't change the game too much. I mean, statistically with wide swings. Bad players won't become better or worse, great players won't really be chopped down or better. The RNG anomalies of getting screwed over, like not rolling 240 alpha with your 90mm gun, when your opponent has 210 health is moot in the statistical landscape. You remember it, for sure. It boils your blood and you rage out, smash a mouse, for sure. But think of all the times you rolled 260 HP instead, when the enemy was full HP and it didn't matter. This is the universe of randomness. Some times it giveth, some times it taketh. Randomness.     

_BobaFett: I have one hackusation, was absolutely hilarious to read.

Jaguarz: Im doing something wrong, its not nearly so often for me

Jaguarz: Once in 10k games? Sounds like it needs a buff, good working pointing this out.

Jaguarz:  Whats the point of your post? Do you think anyone negbombing anything is going to be swayed by your words? All you have done is give the negbombers someone else to laugh at as they clearly riled you.

_BobaFett: streak tilt simulator

_BobaFett: Only reason I would hesitate to get one is because the TS-5 exists.

_BobaFett:  Ouch. I hope that's never me.

_BobaFett: No free stuff for you comrade.

TeriyakiTanker:
Would you leave your child alone with a grown man who didn’t buy the tank?

_BobaFett: Rammer, Vents, IRM/Optics depending on your priorities.

_BobaFett: Although I have less ping on East, it's been nothing short of buggy this last week.

_BobaFett:  

_BobaFett: I'm just waiting for them to release the one that's already in the game files.

_BobaFett:  There's a "hide non-historical elements" checkbox for that, you know.

_BobaFett: The 430U is more forgiving, the 140 is more potent for higher-skilled players. IMO it comes down to how well you play.

_BobaFett:  No they all play on the same servers, there is no technical reason you should not be able to use your existing account. WoWs and Blitz does it, PC should be able too.

_BobaFett: You don't have to look at it you know.

_BobaFett:  How do you know they haven't read the comments? They could be collecting feedback.

_BobaFett: Play arty while watching a movie/eating a meal to earn BP points even when you aren't playing the game.

I'm not even joking it's really effective.

_BobaFett: Why do you leave out the damage numbers?

_BobaFett:  He probably meant bonus as in all the wheelies benefit from having significantly higher accuracy numbers than other lights. 

Jaguarz: I hate Brawl mode so please make the rewards much, much worse.

Jaguarz:  Its a free tank, just whether you consider the other items in the package worth the value to you personally. In overall value terms its not a bad buy, comes with $80 in gold, $15 in prem time, 3.5 mill creds and 30 dismounting kits and a couple of other things.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! The Vz. 55, a Tier X Czechoslovakian heavy tank, is coming soon to the Supertest.The key feature of this vehicle is the ability to choose between two 130 mm guns. They are set up identically from the point of view of efficiency, but how they deal damage is different. One gun is standard and fires cyclically, whereas the other has an autoloader with two shells. Both guns use the same shells: standard AP with 260 mm of penetration and a special APCR that penetrates 306 mm. Their damage per shot is the same at 490 HP, as is their accuracy: 0.4 m. The cyclical gun reloads in 12.5 s with an aiming time of 2.8 s. As for the autoloader gun, it fully reloads in 25 s, and the loading time between shells in a magazine is 2.5 s, with an aiming time of 3.1 s. Both guns have decent stabilization.The other characteristics of the new Tier X are typical of heavy tanks. Good frontal armor that reaches up to 300 mm in the turret, and sloped armor on the hull, allow the tank to withstand the attacks of most enemy vehicles. Durability: 2,100 HP. Mobility is standard for this vehicle type: a top speed of 50 km/h, and a specific power of 15.5 h.p./t. View range: 390 m.The Vz. 55 guns differ in their firing modes, it allows you to set up the vehicle as you see fit and comfortable. The autoloader has some similarities to Czechoslovakian medium tanks in terms of a high reload speed and good handling. Other characteristics are on par with similar heavy tanks, which means this tank can efficiently follow the objectives of this vehicle type: to lead an attack or hold a key position.

_BobaFett: Getting close to reaching 1k posts, keep up the good work people. 

_BobaFett: that's exactly what this game needs   /s  

_BobaFett: "minor issue"

_BobaFett: "minor inconvenience"

MA77: Saudações,
O novo tanque pesado checo de Nível X, Vz. 55, está chegando ao Superteste. .
A principal característica deste veículo é o poder de escolha entre dois canhões de 130 mm. Eles são idênticos em termos de eficiência, mas diferentes na maneira como provocam danos. Um dos canhões é convencional e dispara ciclicamente, enquanto o outro possui um carregador automático de dois projéteis. Ambos usam os mesmos projéteis: AP, com penetração de 260 mm e APCR que penetra até 306 mm. Cada um deles provoca em média 490 HP de dano, eles têm uma precisão de 0.4 a 100 metros e boa estabilização. No entanto, os outros valores diferem de acordo com o canhão: o cíclico carrega a cada 12.5 segundos e mira em 2.8 segundos, enquanto o carregador automático recarrega em 25 segundos (o tempo entre disparos é de 2.5 segundos) e mira em 3.1 segundos.
As demais especificações são bastante comuns a outros tanques pesados: a blindagem frontal que chega a 300 mm na torre, tem blindagem inclinada no chassi, 2100 pontos de vida, velocidade máxima de 50 km/h (com potência específica de 15.5 hp/t e alcance de visão de 390 metros.
Os canhões do Vz. 55 diferem em seus modos de disparo, permitindo-lhes configurar o veículo da forma mais confortável para você. O carregador automático sem dúvida compartilha semelhanças com os tanques médios da Checoslováquia em termos de tempo de recarga e boas estatísticas. As outras características equiparam-se a outros tanques pesados, o que significa que este tanque pode cumprir os objetivos desta classe de veículos: liderar um ataque ou defender uma posição.
Não se esqueça de deixar o seu feedback aqui no tópico e boa sorte no campo de batalha!
