Draschel:  randomness is extremely bad for the game.  Its not good to for say - HE spamming IS6 to deal 25 damage to T95, then next time deal 250. Without aiming. This aspect had to go.While I do not agree with WG giving outer armor screens 3x armor effectiveness vs HE, it should be 0.5 or 1.0 max. But this system is far better than before. 

Draschel: Yes. And I can also click a provided box in my account or garage settings, do not receive clan invites, too.it isn't hard. We have it for battle invitations, platoon invitations, chat.  Give us one for clans too. 

Draschel: I have had to decline 23 useless clan invites this weekend alone. and only in 3 days of playing.one would think its not so annoying, but if I were to look at notifications for 30% off coupon, i have to go through all that nasty sludge.please an option to not accept unsolicited clan invites. We have optional no invitations to platoon, chat already. Clan invites, next step 

Draschel:  While I would not say its LIS, it surely isn't AMX CDC, which takes the spot as useless It has more HP than LIS or 274A. It has a tonne more DPMThe camo is useable. It has the camo of Leo PTA.Alpha is bad, but it tries to remedy it with DPM, and high performance HESlow rate of fire for damage.  lol.....the second highest med tank DPM Hull armor is actually decent for medium. Turret blocks most HE penGood VR, acceptable gun handling, good gun depression, good mobility..... 

Draschel: arty would be a problem even if it did 25 damage.because its free damage the user just pointed, and clicked, 1,200m away

Draschel: going in the right direction?They certainly were. Removed toxic Type 5 gun. They added ability to remove maps. Added anonymizer. They nerfed arty, twice relatively recent. They nerfed HE, twice relatively recent.  Nerfs to tanks like EBRs nice. As well:  Leo PTA, M44, Conquer GC, 430U, 268 V 4 were sorely needed. But 430U and 268 V 4 could use more, and add M53/55 to the list Now all they need to do is continue that trend, instead of doing stuff like crew 3.0 and 4.0 that people right won't lik either.  Make RNG on damage, pen 5-10%, not 25. Make tighter standard dev of accuracy <0.40 base accuracy tanks, while looser accuracy >0.40 tanks.This makes tanks like Leopard, S1 - supposedly more reliable in their support provided, while reducing the nonsense accuracy of KV2Allow for the removal of 2 maps for all holders, allow 3 for premium time usersChange MM spread to +1/-1. Accordingly buff tighter MM spread, AKA less seen +1 tanks on current +1/-1 vehicles like E25 and KV5 and T-34-3.  

Draschel:  

Draschel:  quoted but not said. Cry some? throwing IS7, 260,  (even Defender)  263, jag pz, Badger upper front plate as Red, completely, using 350 HEAT from VK.only 1/3rd the hemisphere edges of 279E is red, but QUICKLY becomes Red too if the tank rolls upward angle even 5%. Which everyone does I don't have premium time now, I can't play everyday either, and still have over 55million credits. No money troubles, and high tier tanks generally 60-75% prem load People, which i am seriously considering you, want to sit in a type 5 or VK100 01 and be ridiculously resilient to AP. And not have to worry about damage. Cry some. You are arguing nonsense. While yes, position should be used to counter armor, generally if position is NOT USED and only premium ammo is relied on, the person USING position has the upper hand regardless of ammo. The person out of position has to aim, without afforded luxury and safety to do so. The person IN position, can have the convenience to use AP, because their opponents are forced to aim, even with prem.   of you want to talk prem round changes and/or nerfs. Armor changes and/or nerfs alongside it. No sitting in assault vehicles immune to peer tier AP. No pixel weakspots. ACTUAL weakspots  

Draschel:  send replays of you blind shots hiding, camping players.Do a 5 battle study. It will take less than an hour.Want to see how many you dig out. Instead of shooting spotted  

Draschel: panzer 58 also plays like the leopard. advent calendar or loot boxes. Pretty sure if advent calendar, its going to be cheaper than it was during marathon, too. But still probably pricey for a medium

Draschel: M44 are over rated now.SU8 is the big problem. 

Draschel:   Patience my [ ].  Patience isn't camping. I don't know why/how people equivocate the two. 

Draschel:  I enjoy dying gloriously. Even without the win. I guess it isn't my teams glory, but mine. Glory is quantified by a number

Draschel:  I saw an trash barn shoot panzerwagon for 970 damage with HE. And the burst was seen, HE not AP. Granted, the wagons lucky to be alive, but thats a crap tonne of HE damage for a non-penI see  OI  and  KV2 no-aim derping T3485M everyday I play for 300+ still.Just because 60TP and E100 and 110E4 aren't no-aim derping hull down chieftains, 110E3s, Badgers anymore for 400+, talking about a handicap, thank goodness that crutch is gone 

Draschel:  considering blocking 1-2 shots means usually, as low as 640-1500 standard damage, I'd say so.Are armor models balanced? By the way? Check those out.some times i don't think you play at all, why advertise that you stream.Have you seen the turrets of 121B, 907, STB1, 140 in live model, vs 330 HEAT? Half area is red.Yes, ''by random chance''  I'm not saying premium is fine....But I am saying armor models and premium shells, need changes at the same time, or not at all.Cupolas, driver hatches, slats, machine gun nests, roofs should not be outrageous thick 

TeriyakiTanker:
I have no mods and not crashing.  I would suggest removing your installation and do a 100% clean install.  When I had issues in the past with crashes this always worked for me.

Draschel: Watching CW, seen all the time. And for the heck of it, not even with 279E, 260, chieftain.Even STB1, 907, 140, 121B are blocking 330-340 HEAT. Every time I see VK7201 they block 1K+.How do you not see this? You are here just to gripe and complain. Scapegoat. 

Draschel:  Do you think, with a chess board, players are limited in their pawns reaching the end, to be queen? Is that what you feel resources should be? A constraint, but not potential? In your own post, you explain of armor nullifying premium ammunition. Yet you just go on and say premium ammo nullifies armor. Well, which is it?  Do you wish for me to show you images of tanks nullifying ammunition? The blaming of premium ammunition is a scapegoat. Vented inadequacy.  Stop being a defeatist. Stop being glum. Play the game to new potential, not limitations or constraints. You will get better, not me. Its not for me, but you.   

Draschel: Yes, there are. But I don't know any rounds to fire that are gold. All are silver.  

Draschel:  I never used the word camp, once. Yet you used it in your first sentence, and continue.Patience can lead to aggression. Patience directs aggression to the right flank, more rewarding

Draschel: patience is the most important thing. Because like BIA or ventilation or rations, patience boosts everything.''Reminder, If you do not know what to do, don't do anything. Battles are 15 minutes long.''  I know this came up in debate a few weeks back, analyzing skill4ltu cliches of patience this, and patience that.But when looking at a poorer performing player, what is more beneficial? Dying doing nothing, or living doing nothing.Living will afford you the opportunity, to do something later on. And if the battle ends before, at least you lived and earned more, rather than dying.Patience provides 1st strike potential, picking the right spot and bushed up. While being impatient, generally leaves you in the open and susceptible.Patience affords you the opportunity to read a map. Patience affords you the opportunity to reposition. Patience affords you the opportunity of base def All of these, aren't possible when dead and with nothing done. Yet, these are still VERY possible if you were patient, even if you did nothing. if you are 11,000 PR, I know you don't need to know about patience. Very true, what you want is total combined. But you are smart enough to know you already learned about patience long ago.   

Draschel: which gun? HEAT150 or sniper schnitzel?

Draschel: While changes, nerfs, setback can be made to premium ammunition in order to make armor and classes perhaps more relevant                                    this point direly, sorely, without question needs to be done side-by-side with assault tank armor profile changes, nerfs, setbacksYou cannot have premium rounds changed, while leaving out armor models. The two happen hand-in-hand or not at all. If you think a -2 tiered tank is shifted into peer status, simply by using premium ammunition, holy bananas. Man oh man. Premium consumables, also make people better. Directives, also make people better. Exterior paints, also make people better. You get the point?                                      there are tonnes of varied tools out there, that simply make people better. And some are far more exclusive than premium shells. 

Draschel: it has 1 selling point, gun depression.Other than that, it has needless top speed cap, needless low DPM, needless low VR, poor armorI understand having -15 degrees could be fun, but taking 410 because Jumbo penetrates turret with HE isn't funSkoda T25, VK3001D, Buigi aren't too great of tanks, and are miles better. Lago, Leo, Alt 14 5 are way better tanks to keep 

Draschel: If anyone got any tips feel free post them. how do you make these posts, dodging a strike?if I make one this way, I'd get one for sureI'd like some tips on that,  lol

Draschel:  exactly. alot of tier 4,5,6 premium tanks are quite poor in comparison to tier 8 premium ones. They are more often than not available with codes, and/or cheaper. Bad players more often playing with them

Draschel: you have to excuse these czech guys.You sit in their TS long enough, its normal talk.every sentence includes he/she cheated, and he/she is a r-----

Draschel:  Attacking bots, easy. Poorer performing players not in SA not attacking bots, lower the requirements. Other tiers don't have thiswith a few aside, as in the following exceptions:  like.....1,2,3   As in, those aren't as easy to do. And i didn't call KV220 a good tank.  Can't you read?  Lets look at a fairly bad tank that isn't in tier V that shouldn't be hard to 3 mark.Thunderslow or Jumbo. The amount of poorly performing players are numerous, yes.But the total result obtainable by a better player within consistent 3 mark range isn't hard to do This same methodology, just won't work on something like progetto or 703-ii. More is needed than better  

Draschel: Extremely different.VK7501 is an huge 80tonne superheavy with rear mountCaliban has impressive traverse and HP/T with conventional turret 

Draschel: lol.....nothing to see here

Draschel:  For UDES Alt 14 5, its 1HP/T. That is more than 50% free turbochargerFor Leo, its about 20% of a turbocharger, nothing special.  

churchill50: For the tier 4 and 5, rely on the gun depression, decent gun performance, and high alpha for your tier. Try to trade hulldown with other meds, only poking when you're reloaded. Mix that and popping over ridges to shoot distracted enemies. For the tier 6, you no longer have high alpha for the tier, but you have absolutely incredible gun performance. Now you play by poking over a ridge, snapshotting, and pulling back while never giving your opponents a good shot.However, since it's paper, that can still be dangerous. Sometimes you're relegated to shooting distracted enemies and playing as more of a conventional paper medium tank. The tier 7 isn't great, since both guns leave a lot to be desired. The 75mm gives you gun performance, but the combination of alpha and DPM is pretty anemic. The 105mm gives you great alpha for the tier, but the gun performance is horrific. At anything outside of close range it's a slot machine. I'd try out both guns and see which one you can live with best.Overall, the Leo is just a worse T20 though. It's mostly just something to grind through as quickly as possible. I'd also suggest looking up Youtube videos of each tank. They can be really helpful with giving you an idea of the playstyle/areas the tank shines. Hopefully that helps!

Draschel: play Lago /   mv/42  in SA, attack bots. Train crews. Easyremember. From basic 100% qualifier, 1 crew book of 2million is 100% 1st skill set, and additionally 50% the second Strv 74 can be completed relatively easy in skirmishes. Its not a keeper, moving along.... Leo is a nice tank. Strv 74   75mm gun can be used immediately        75mm for DPM, gun handling, added mobility        105mm for alpha and situational overmatch Alt 14  5 is nice too. Turret armor ain't there like T9-10 though. SH and FL. its a fluid grind.        90mm for DPM, gun handling, added mobility        105mm for alpha and situational overmatch     

Draschel: If (person in question) has a KV5, is an bonds turbocharger paid for by clan? 

Draschel:  Because people play bad, is not a cover for a tank being difficult. A tank being difficult, comprises a multitude of variables such as the tanks' popularity, exclusiveness, higher tier, the tanks potential in peoples hands which push up requirements, Etc. The player base is 48% W/R  NA. This takes into account the majority very negative things, and tends not to have the positive things counter-balance. Such as not even playing tanks with 100% qualifier, playing tanks from stock, AFKing to get by what users think are bad tanks  (piggybacking)  Etc.  Then there is the tier V situation, with a few asides like Excelsior, KV220, or Panzer IV/V offers quite easy 3-marks simply shooting at bots 10 times a match. With most 75mm gun rates of fire, that is not hard in the slightest A tanks' stats has very much to do with an effort into its 3rd mark. Not everyone plays as skill4ltu or orzanel or circon, out with a mission to 3 mark. Not everyone even takes the responsibility to play competent, nevermind even outwardly well, and something appearing bad in terms of garage parameters, is enough to sway a mind into ' winging '  it to begin with. Defeatism is terrible.  

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! On here a little late due to some corporate meetings about my dodgy situation with the Used Tank Emporium. Anyways, this weekend (5Nov. - 8Nov.) there are some missions and specials that can be found HERE. Starting today (5Nov.) and running until 5Dec is the M48A5 Patton on track.  Enjoy discounts and XP bonuses all the way up to this tier X.More information on this can be found HERE. If you wanna spend less time on the grind click HERE for the Fast Track offers that give even more bonuses and goodies.  Have a great night Y'all.   

Jaguarz:  2 hours left? 

The_Chieftain: Many, many moons ago (maybe 2015?) I recall some TED Talk (Or similar event) in which a 12-year-old boy was talking about how online gaming, and he played WoT, had helped his social interaction. Can anyone find a link to that? My Google-Fu is failing me.

churchill50:  My eyes...Looking up his stats was definitely a mistake.

TeriyakiTanker:
There are some commanders with sixth sense as a zero skill and at least one Santa Claus has two zero skills from what I recall.  Don’t believe anyone came with a zero skill repair skill though.  They might be confusing a crew member that came with enough XP to have a skill already with a zero skill crewmen.  There have been occasions when WG did this.

Draschel: he can't 3 mark a tier 6 with 2k games?a clanny prem spammed his OI experimental? I'm sure there are reasons. Possibly many  

TeriyakiTanker:
You aren’t playing devils advocate, you are just being foolish.  And frankly when I took my oath to defend the Constitution I had a basic understanding of what the document meant.  What the OP is talking about isn’t a free speech issue at all.  And more importantly he isn’t even factually correct in that the vast majority of posts and topics, even those critical of the game and the company, are not deleted.
