Draschel: Be my guest, and clear this up for me.I just took a quick look at S1 recents. Because we would all agree that this thing is the sniper schnitzel backline tank that farms damage dream. Out of the past year, no owners of S1 topping the leaderboard have dropped below 2,700 avg dmg. None of them had less than 55% WR overall, none were less than 8k PR.Am I missing something here? Would you like to elaborate?  Causing damage at the expense of a team, is a nonsensical myth made up by people that don't know how to cause damage themselves. Because if they did, they'd do damage? Another big reason as to why this commonly becomes a heated debate, is the 1 in 20 battles, where you see a player chase damage and leave cap, and ends up losing the game. That 1 time. And people hold it as imbecilic contempt. And you look at the guys service record post battle and see he's 10K PR and 60% WR and 3 marks tier X, while you have trouble 3 marking anytankyeah.....about that. I can look at SU130PM. Strv 103. E25. PTA. Leopard. AMX30. AMX30 proto. Charioteer. You will find the findings all similar. You are wrong.

Draschel:  Causing damage more often than not wins more than it loses. In order to get damage, a person must place their self in position to find the damage, while not exposing their self to damage in return. In addition, many of the people doing this snipy stuff out of their mediums, tend to DO THEIR OWN SPOTTING, too. If sitting back and racking up damage was so easy, everyones S1 and SU130PM would be 2k damage. Everyones K-91, Leopard, and Strv would be 3k damage. This is certainly, most clearly, not the case. While sitting in the bushes 500m away and firing your gun, is quite easy.....effectively sniping and squeezing performance out of the vehicle isn't. If it were the case, everyone would be doing it.  While I do agree, that spending/sharing HP and acting as a team is useful, if such a person was hanging back in a tank like AMX 30, PTA, Char 4 and doing 2k consistent DPG, free damage, conserving their HP for when its needed most  -  what on earth is the problem? They are dealing their HP worth, actually moreso. Certainly more people on the team will be ailing that said team, than they are.  The so called -chai sniper- that only wins 50% of their battles, but deals 1,800 damage in an 3 MoE  E25 is a myth. This is what bad people call good people, because they don't understand how things work.

And saying it can only be played in pubs applies to basically all tanks except maybe 5. Cw is dead because of chieftain so it’s probably about time we don’t even consider it a game type.

Draschel: Not true. First of all CW isn't dead because of chieftain. What kind of statement is that. CW is at disadvantage without Chieftain.Secondly, I said M48A Patton, UDES, Action X  don't appear in CW because Chieftain fills out their roles better. But that isn't all. Didn't say anything about Chieftain coming close to doing the duties of STB1, Leopard, CS63. Other gun depression tanks. Even if there was no chieftain M48A patton, UDES, Action X still wouldn't be used, as Kran does the job better. But again, Kran doesn't do the jobs of STB1, Leopard, CS63.  Alot more than 5 tanks struggle in pubs. What game are you playing.

Driving along the street to the central point is not safe for light and medium tanks, but it will provide an advantage in terms of control over most of the map.3. The open park area allows maneuverable light tanks to provide primary spotting of enemy vehicles.4. The main point of encounter of medium tanks is the Lavra. Using it will allow medium tanks to develop a swift attack on the rest of the map.5. Areas for tank destroyers and lightly armored vehicles. They allow for control of the center and the flank of the medium tanks.

If you're getting set on fire or ammo racked often enough in such situations it has become a problem for you, they're all things you should add to your calculus of how to engage on your terms. 

Draschel:  Some people do not run automatic fire extinguisherAnd an automatic fire extinguisher doesn't remove the fuel line or engine damage.Rations always work. That is why everyone worth their while uses rations. Fire extinguisher only sometimes works. What is better, all the time or sometime?Peering down on the enemy as a full HP tank, and he isn't full HP, where you brawl better (DPM, traverse, Etc) gives you large advantage. Say you have support, and he's alone. Him setting you on fire or ammo rack is an extreme slap in the life saving roll face, for no other reason than the game saying F you.  Can this be fixed? It can't. But WG can take alot of steps to make the game fairer. First of all, tanks with front suspension vulnerabilities, that damage engine need a balancing factor to give them a benefit, instead of enemies just crapping on them. Tanks like Lowe, Panzer IV Schmulturm, Chrysler, AC4. They get a damaged engine every game, with LFP hits. They can increase the frequency of ammo hold damage or dead driver, with tanks not having front engine module susceptibility. The game MASSIVELY rewards tanks having diesel engine, instead of gas. The chance of fire on gas engine tanks, except the tier 9-10s are atrocious. To even this out they should make gas engine have a superior engine horsepower multiplier, and diesels do not get it. Octane gas consumables should be 10% for the credit one, 20% for the premium

Draschel:  You are full of it.When someone engages an enemy, they should be thinking prior to, HOW to engage the enemy. On THEIR TERMS, not the enemies. And to be mass RNGed when clearly wisdom and advantages are used beforehand is completely ridiculous and adds nothing to the game. Regardless of wording, when a defender is at severe disadvantage in terms of tank type, position, HP, Etc - then gets royally rewarded by crippling fire/ammo rack? This is ridiculous.And on the other side, when attacker is robbed despite playing well, in terms of taking position for their tank type and advantage over the enemy, with clear HP advantage..... This is silly. Ridiculous. Your argument is moot because it doesn't address the flaw at all.

Draschel: It had good penetration of 259, but newer tanks getting released really up tier 8s pen bracket. T77, 122TM, AMBT, 274A, 703 ii......in addition making old tanks with high pen better with buffs, such as STA2, KV4 kres also hurts. Chrysler is real situational, does well in spots, but when out of these spots its really disadvantaged. The mobility is decent for a heavy, but is handicapped by WG lies and speed cap, so its really not as good as it should be. Its definitely deserving of buffs, but WG won't budge because of the controversy and history concerning it.

Draschel: Generally, the game follows up-scaling on dispersion, accuracy, aim-time, RoF  Etc with tanks that equip the same guns. Meaning as they guns on tanks move up tier, their handling and DPM increase. The handling obviously does not increase for these two weirdly. DPM does.

View PostBelicia, on Jan 27 2022 - 07:22, said: The weird thing is, on paper, the M48 and CAX are VERY similar - identical penetration, alpha, armor.   Their differences are pretty minor and dependent on play-style - CAX has 1 degree more gun depression, the M48 has 10m more view range, the CAX is 8 km/hr faster, the M48 has a better power/weight ratio.   Sure, the M48 probably has marginally superior stats from the perspective of a unicum player, but it's really not enough to justify dumping on the CAX like it's a turd while simultaneously praising the M48

Draschel:  Not a whole lot of people praise the M48A Patton as being an effective, competitive, stellar tier ten tank. While people will definitely admit it is pleasant to play in pub battle, its simply not up to snuff for most forms of competition. CW, no. Ranked, no. Sure it works in qualifier and 3rd division, but not after. But anyway tier X works in qualifiers.  M48 trades camo, HESH, mobility, gun depression  for slightly more DPM, view range, overall armored protection....but importantly massively better gun handling. While people may argue 0.32 centurion base accuracy means something, Patton is more often ready to fire first because of better aim-time and dispersion control. They are similar and take similar battlefield roles.  Simply put in gun depression roles and wars, STB1 is superior. It is faster, has more turret armor, more DPM, more camo. And truth be told M48A patton and centurion are too chunky that Chieftain takes their role anyway, with it being not a whole lot slower.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys,  I would like to ask for any constructive feedback on the newest addition to the American tech tree. 
Firstly what do you think of the new mechanic that the Yoh tanks use, the spare tracks?  Anything positive about them?  Negative about them? Pawlack Tank:  Any Positive thoughts about this tank being the first in the line of the tech tree? Negative thoughts? M-II-Y:  Any positive thoughts about this tank?  Any negative thoughts? M-III_Y:  Any positive thoughts about this tank? Negative thoughts? M-VI-Y:  Any positive thoughts about the tank? Negative thoughts? M-V-Y:  Any positive thoughts about this tank? Negative thoughts? Feel free to leave feedback about both facing these tanks or playing these tanks against others,  Does it fill the role that developers intended?  Yes, our developers will see these concerns so the more complete the better.  Any fully completed reply will get some boosters from me for the trouble. :)

The_Chieftain: Is that not roughly what I've done with the "Chieftain Teaches" series of videos? Goodwood was always going to be, at worst, an enabling operation for Cobra. If it achieved its own breakout, fantastic, but if it enabled the Americans to break out, that was good enough.People seem to think Monty came out of nowhere just before El Alamein. He was arguably the best division commander in the BEF in 1940 as well, and you have to admit, he did emphasise 'troop care'.

It minimizes the vile nonsense from random players after a game is over.   However, apparently wargaming thought this was a great anon nickname to assign my account for one battle: ska_negros25150   Since you can’t see what your anon name is during battle, I had no idea. I’ll often chat in game about the battle itself, positioning, etc. I got reported for having an offensive name! And chat banned! Too funny!   Someone over there at wargaming put those options into the data table for randomized names, and I paid the price for it. The only reason I know I had that nickname was because another player sent me a message after the game and let me know.   That’s the first time I’ve been chat banned since playing this game. Kinda funny. At least they didn’t ban me from playing.

Jaguarz:  Thats just outrageous!!! Outrageous I say, I mean its not like we have a South America populated by mainly SPANISH speakers using the spanish word for black Oh and you cant be banned for an anonymous generated name, let alone chat banned and there have been actual real bad examples listed previously so you must have been toxic in chat and are just deflecting here. Just ask support, they will happily furnish you with the chat logs to embarrass you. But cool story.

WZ-114 vs E75

Subject: WZ-114 vs E75

churchill50: I don't know about that one... The WZ-114 has better gun depression (10 degrees vs 8), a better turret overall (although the cupola is more prominent), better standard pen (although this is somewhat diminished since the E75 can just go full APCR), better prem pen at range (they start with the same prem pen, but the 114's prem is HEAT so no pen dropoff), and more HP (2,300 vs 1,950).Meanwhile, the E75 has better DPM (Neither have great DPM, but the E75 has about a shot more of DPM per minute), better shell velocity, better ammo capacity, massively better gun handling (The WZ-114's gun handling stats are actually atrocious. More comparable to a Grille 15's gun handling), better mobility (better effective top speed and traverse speeds), and more usable hull armor (WZ-114 can't sidescrape at all because of the shoulder plates). Overall, just because of the gun handling, DPM, and mobility differences alone, I'd rather the E75 any day. At least the E75 has a reliable gun, which means that you can effectively use all of your DPM. The WZ's combination of derpy gun + even worse DPM is going to hurt imo.
