Archives\Beta\Computer Turned Off
Link on message: #77647
WorldWar2Boy, on 20 August 2010 - 03:39 AM, said: I was playing ''World of Tanks'' when my computer suddenly turned
off.
That was the first time I saw that on my computer and I think that was related to World of Tanks. Just a few seconds before my Computer turned off, I had a lag on World of Tanks. This happened to more people or not?

MrVic: Sounds like a heat issue. Might be time to clean out your heat sink
and dust the PC out. I have run into this a few times, its usually
heat related when it shuts down.
actually ran into this a year back my CPU heat sink became unseated, hence it overheated and shutdown

ARGO: I have found a hilarious discovery in WoT and although some may
disagree, I think it's funny as hell.
While in a training match, I was cruising through some houses and damaging a lot of real estate in the process. While going through a back yard, I happend to have my speakers up high when I ran over a dog house. All of a sudden I heard a "Yipe Yipe". I thought I was imagining it so I did it again. Yup! If you hit a dog house you hit a dog!
Now that's funny.
Has anyone else found hidden things?

true feel of what I am going to want once we start over.
Now for my humble opinion, 50% of the time it's not the tank but the driver.....no offense to anyone.

ARGO: HE rounds tend to drive me nuts, half the time I can't tell if they
have done anything cause the enemy doesn't loose HP. Then I will
hit them and do 20-25% damamge. How can you tell if you messed up a
tank with it? All I know is that for me at least itHE tends to be
fickle. Either that or I don't hit the right spot. I have been hit
and all mys systems go bye bye and my crew reads off a never ending
list of damages.
Oh yeah, I kept hearing how Tigers can't take HE rounds, BULLCRAP! I hit one 8 times and all I got was blown up. If a 107mm can't hurt a Tiger with an HE round, then I am sticking to AP.

Nanaki, on 19 August 2010 - 05:18 AM, said: Vic, if your going to make a
statement, at least make an attempt to do your research.
The 8.8cm L/56 gun mounted on German Tier 6 mediums (Tier 5 cannot mount any 8.8cm guns) and Tier 6 TDs only has 132 Penetration, 171 if they mount the premium rounds.
The gun with 203 penetration that you are talking about is the 8.8cm L/71 gun, which is only mountable on the PzKpfw VI Tiger, PzKpfw V Panther, PzKpfw VIB Tiger II, VK4502(P) Ausf B tanks, Jagdpanther, and Ferdinand, all of which are Tier 7 and above.

MrVic: Well with the amount of PMs and tells tonight I was in a hurry.
Hence the question "?" behind the statement. had my tier numbers
shifted by one. I spent a long time in the Jadgpanzer IV I get
stuck thinking its tier 5. anyways the point of that was the gap on
the 203 pen vs the 175 for most of a tier 8 RU Heavy. Regardless I
guess I will leave it be since people are a bit to serious for me.
Lol try to talk things out and people get all happy to ignore it

MrVic: First up
I did not edit it I was quoting and
answering parts of it.
Second up
I did level my through a KV-3 hence
I have a IS-7
Third up
I don't think I edited anything but
adding the blue responses, if I did was no on purpose.
Finally the turret traverse I was said " I think" as I was going off a memory of it, nor did I label it as a fact
Not sure if you thought I was
attacking you in my post. As mine was just my opinion and
observations. Never did I make a bad remark about you some confused
on the hostility it seems you have?
Also on the turret speed thing, the RU and GER tanks swap who has a faster turret though most of it. Germans have faster starting ones RU ones tend to have faster upgraded ones. Some of the instances the starting vs the upgraded the difference is minor when the RU one catches up.
One last thing as I will just avoid your posts since it seems to work ya up, Check out the armor pen on the IS-3, until you invest about 65k exp you only have 175 armor pen vs a Tiger 2, Its extremely hard to hurt a Tiger II with 175pen, also the aim time and accuracy on many RU guns is really nasty. Where as the 8.8cm which Ger can mount on Tier 6 TD's and Tier 5? mediums has 203 pen thats where the rough part for RU heavies get in some troubles
But anyway thanks for the chats.

I would have to disagree with letting others help you make a video. People with guilds/clans would have an obvious advantage due to scripted and well thought out and coordinated scenes. Your every day regular player can't do that, all that's available to him/her is random unscripted moments that happen during actual battles he is participating in. You might say; but everyone can go out and get some players and have them help, it's not that easy though. I would reckon most of use here are not in clans and have jobs/families to attend to. Finding the time to coordinate such an event without already being affiliated would be extremely hard in such a short time span. I understand that scripted videos look much better and capture the imagination a lot better but that's exactly the reason why it would almost automatically ruin the chances of someone who does not have others to rely on. If you wanna make scripted videos for everyone to be in awe by all means go for it, but, I personally think they shouldn't be allowed in the contest. If you wanna tell a story with your video I think it can be achieved by just capturing random battle moments and showcasing your directing/editing skills.
Lets give everyone a fair chance and keep this a User Video Contest and not a Clan Video Contest.

Archives\Junkyard\Why are the most Russian tanks OP?
Link on message: #75466
Sakuzhi, on 18 August 2010 - 08:56 PM, said: Well I was with-holding that information actually >.>
So, few points. The IS-3 isn't even the same Tier as the Tiger, so if the IS-3 is faster than the Tiger it is faster than the King tiger (which is slower than Tiger).
Hence why I listed both. but wanted to give more comparisons
higher speed yes but its not much of
a boost due to the time it takes to get there.
German tanks hit their max speeds quicker, and keep them long than the Russian counterparts (this is true for all the "tanks/tds" in the game) whereas the soviet tanks get a higher top-end.
This said, the Soviet tanks turret speeds are "faster" and they generally turn better than the German ones. Note, it is easy to circle the Maus in a -Tiger- (it's actually pretty funny), but if you try that against a IS-3,4, or 7 you are dead meat. Which, in the end. most Soviet tanks can run circles around the "crawl" that is the German Turret traverse....
Actually I think if ya check the stat lines the Turret and hull traverse is higher on germans, They are in game up to the Maus also you must be in a field or postioned badly to allow the room it takes a IS-3 to do a loop around you. Last time I looked the IS-7 was even slower then most german heavies
/color]
As for the KV-3 against the Vk3601(H) in a one on one fight, -anywhere- that is not a wide open field.. the Vk3601 is screwed, and there's only one to two maps where "open" field fights even occur, which is why the KV-3 has the marked Advantage, both in HP and armor. Not to mention if the KV tracks the Vk3601, it's dead VK3601. I mean, anything the Vk3601 can do to "slow" the KV-3 down, the KV-3 can do as well. If it is equal skilled opponents, Kv-3 is a more durable tank and this is the reason it will beat down the VK3601(H).
Actually non open fields are my preferred place to take down a KV-3 restrict its lanes of fire make to do long traverse from multiple sides ect wait to get hidden again and attack at new angles use the speed and terrain to you advantage
Also got the frontal armor info on the IS-3?

So, few points. The IS-3 isn't even the same Tier as the Tiger, so if the IS-3 is faster than the Tiger it is faster than the King tiger (which is slower than Tiger).
Hence why I listed both. but wanted to give more comparisons

German tanks hit their max speeds quicker, and keep them long than the Russian counterparts (this is true for all the "tanks/tds" in the game) whereas the soviet tanks get a higher top-end.
This said, the Soviet tanks turret speeds are "faster" and they generally turn better than the German ones. Note, it is easy to circle the Maus in a -Tiger- (it's actually pretty funny), but if you try that against a IS-3,4, or 7 you are dead meat. Which, in the end. most Soviet tanks can run circles around the "crawl" that is the German Turret traverse....
Actually I think if ya check the stat lines the Turret and hull traverse is higher on germans, They are in game up to the Maus also you must be in a field or postioned badly to allow the room it takes a IS-3 to do a loop around you. Last time I looked the IS-7 was even slower then most german heavies

As for the KV-3 against the Vk3601(H) in a one on one fight, -anywhere- that is not a wide open field.. the Vk3601 is screwed, and there's only one to two maps where "open" field fights even occur, which is why the KV-3 has the marked Advantage, both in HP and armor. Not to mention if the KV tracks the Vk3601, it's dead VK3601. I mean, anything the Vk3601 can do to "slow" the KV-3 down, the KV-3 can do as well. If it is equal skilled opponents, Kv-3 is a more durable tank and this is the reason it will beat down the VK3601(H).
Actually non open fields are my preferred place to take down a KV-3 restrict its lanes of fire make to do long traverse from multiple sides ect wait to get hidden again and attack at new angles use the speed and terrain to you advantage

MrVic: But then again we can disagree
Just my experiences
