Only reason i an see is maybe an Eastern Block Bias or he simply does not like German tanks or Americans.
Funny how the platoon bug is only affecting most US players. Then claims of the Tiger mantlet at 100mm is mostly correct after using "Historical" data to explain IS 4 buff? When you can open any book or google it and see its an Out right Lie?

Wallachia, on 27 December 2010 - 06:52 PM, said: Overlord, I have a question regarding my previous post here.
My gameplay style hasn't changed, but I am getting thrice the amount of credits and half the experience I used to have. Is it just me or the devs changed any of those systems? Note: I play as an arty and as a TDer.
By the way, thank you for the auto-reload and auto-repair option. That was fantastic.

Upper glacis plate = 200/60=> 400mm>348mm
Lower glacis plate = 200/50=> 311mm>244mm
If they intend to keep the real historical specification , then no one will go maus instead of e-100 because e-100 won't have any weak spot at front hull like current maus(not talking about gun manlet).

Ziltoid, on 27 December 2010 - 07:35 PM, said: as Overlord said its 244 mm -> with the 88mm 203+20%= 243,8 (remeber Gausian) -> you shouldnt be able to penetrate that piece of metal
there is another point you are not on a level with the plate so the angle is even bigger (the angle is getting smaller if you go further away )


Condemned, on 28 December 2010 - 12:31 AM, said: penetration of the 88mm is 152-254, if the effective armor is 244 then 9-10 should bounce no? Not that I really care though, if they fix the mud/track-guards then I guess itd be ok to have some sort of weak spot in mid. Although in close I always aim for the turret.

IE Tank stats, or tech trees, ect... This is no place for recruiting advertisements... Clan's can have their own websites for that purpose.

Troika, on 27 December 2010 - 11:42 PM, said: Seriously every goddamn German heavy has a giant bullseye right in the middle of their turret that anything at all can penetrate. This is well known to everybody who plays a German heavy, and no other side has similar problems. Even after the patch I'm getting the gun on my Ausf B destroyed by zero damage hits to the turret front and it's getting real, real old. I had the same problem in my KT, and in my Tiger. Why do we even have turrets if they can't protect the contents?

Purdune, on 27 December 2010 - 07:34 PM, said: Howdy,
My Panther and Hummel were Elite vehicles before the patch. With the addition of new vehicles they are no longer Elite however they are marked as such. Not sure if this was done on purpose but it could really screw up someone not paying attention. For instance if you go to the new XP to free XP converter those vehicles will show up and you could mistakingly convert XP from them. Also if you have the box checked to convert XP to crew training you won't get research XP. I haven't checked the box on my two so don't know 100% this is true but makes game sense.
BTW, love the XP converter and the Auto resupply!

It seems like you guys are working on getting supportive software for the G19. Only that it ain't finished yet. Can you update us with some information about this

In the HIT RATIO statistics, do only direct hits count, or hits which damage the target?
Eg: in case of arties, shots which don't hit the darget directly but damages it because the splash damage - counted in the rate or not?

Makes no sence that the tank and not the track takes damage. It's the surfaces that is closest to you when you stand infront of it.
Need fix.

Subject: Archives\Beta\Suggestions\Minor Suggestion Regarding Daily Double Xp
Link on message: #318935

bubbs, on 15 December 2010 - 11:55 AM, said: Given the upcoming change from double xp for first battle to double xp for first win I would like to propose an interface feature.
I am one of those players with a lot of different tanks and I try to run them through at least once every day for the double xp. Now that the bonus is given for the first win, I'd like a way to see wether I've gotten the double xp or not. Sure, I could browse through the notification history but if I run through 3 tanks fast without either of them coming out of battle in between switches, I suddenly have 3-4 notifications for different tanks. It's hard to see which ones have won and which ones still need their double xp (I'm good, but guaranteed win on first match isn't something I can do )
So basically, a small box or ticker somewhere on every tank that lets me know wether it's been given its double xp or not.
