Draschel:  Ergo, they don't remove them, but are quite satisfied with nerfing them every 8 months. .  

churchill50:  It might have expired by now. I'm not sure.Try reloading the premium shop page and checking the Coupons tab to see if the coupon shows up.If not, sorry. That's all I had.

churchill50: This code might still work:https://na.wargaming.net/shop/redeem/?bonus_mode=SOFILEINFREESUB It gives you a discount coupon which can be used on the largest set of keys. I believe it's a 15% discount? Can't remember for sure though.

TeriyakiTanker:
That is exactly what it was, blaming the player.  I’m glad you understood that.

Draschel:  Super conquer in its environment, is still vulnerable in being shot straight into the face. 303 pen from an IS7 is enough, triangle + rectangle above and below the gun. Although the cupola is ricochet angle for APCR, it isn't for HEAT. 250mm HEAT even goes through quite easy. Any speed advantage 2.0 has given conqueror, also gives it 2-fold to chieftain, which can use turbo to greater effect. Add more view range, more ammo, more alpha, better LFP which removes lowly tier 8s penning you with 175mm AP,  chieftain provides quite a bit more than conqueror does. And it shows, I see people doing 1,800-2,500 in conqueror, and it leaps to 2,500-3,000 in chief The point of this isn't to trash super conquer. It is a mighty fine tank. So are WZ11111111111115A, IS7, 277.  But chieftain and 260 are just too damn good.  

TeriyakiTanker: And that is what I thought

Draschel:  No one cares what you say.And no one believes what you say. 

Draschel: a few hundred.  lol.....as per what, you base that on what?Forum complainers? Forum complainers are what, 5% of pop? 3?NA is what, to world of tanks? 10% of players, compared to EU/RU?War gaming doesn't take action, because of received complaints on forums.Sum all the complaints, they receive through multiple pathways, and change. What on earth are you talking about.   

Draschel:  It still does not matter. The tank is too powerful, like the chieftain.People who play in super conquer and conquer, do better when in chiefs and concept.People who play in IS7, do better in 260. It is a clear problem.But what I do not like seeing, is people with clear problems complaining of lesser issues 

TeriyakiTanker:
You are just dumb, that has nothing to do with anything I said.  How about you put your big boy pants on and actually address what I said, of course you can’t because I am correct and you know it.

Draschel: millions and millions, report they hate artillery as the single most detrimental thing the game has. Year by year, correspondingly - it gets nerfed point by point?  I enjoy it. More to come, just watch. 

Draschel:  An evaluation. Now at least use it to make yourself at least marginally credible. Where did I just read that? 

Draschel: You can't be talked with. You can't be reasoned with. You are unidimensional, single track,  only here to grief.  Whatever.  Without the Concept 1, AE Phase 1 is too powerful for you to contend with. Without phase 1, its concqueror or Emil IIThis form of dominoes, continues and continues, even when it comes down to a tank you own. That you can't match, even if you were in one. It is because a lack of understanding, in where to place yourself to obtain most possible success. Terrible attitude.   

Draschel:  So you like football. I do to. Let's look at it like this If I were Dawkins, or Woodson - and I was imagining the defensive landscape.......And this was my responsibility. Keeping the secondary safe.Would I get caught up on things like what the media sees? Favre throws TOO FAST.  Brees is TOO ACCURATE. I can't match Brady's Playbook!No. This is defeatism. A defeated, fearful spirit is a beaten one. You need to go out there, play your position, do your best, hope for luck sometimes? It all comes down to positioning. Anticipation. Preparedness. And a bit of luck. None of it comes down to defeatism and complaining.  

Draschel:  The rationality is Don't put yourself in a place to fail. Know positioning. A plan to fail.....is a plan to fail? This isn't a stat shaming contest. Your results are direct *result* of what you do, have chosen, Etc.This isn't about prejudice, racism, whatever other fancy concotion you have in your head. Its about not planning to fail.If you want to move on.... Move on? No one is forcing you to say. Don't redirect your anger in poor understanding I get it, he was mean. And I tried my best here, not to be mean. But him being mean, me being mean....These are a single thing, TOTALLY UNRELATED to the issue at hand. If we were not here, not replying, not being mean, take us out of the equation.The underlying problem still remains. The issue still is there. Without our replies.        -> you still frequently drive inappropriate tanks out of position. You still frequently don't pick suitable spots for your tank, Etc.  You see how this works? I understand you want to complain about something. Sure, complain. I think Concept 1B is a very powerful tank too. Complaining about the these, or whatever else 279E, 260, 907, Chieftain Etc won't make you better. Or better prepared to deal with them. You need to get better yourself.  

Draschel: For the same reason, if general arta players who prefer arta, out for that sort of gameplay were placed into TD....they general perform poorly like other classes.  IF ARTA WERE REMOVED, OR BECAME TD, sure the dominant arta players and enthusiasts that didn't leave the game will join TD ranks. Without a doubt, because they resemble one another most closely. But they are starkly different, still. Sort of like portuguese and spanish. According to the CIA, it takes 1000-1200 hours to become language proficient, and further 1 year living in said country or region, not to seem awkward in conversation. But if you knew Spanish, it don't take that long anymore to grasp Portuguese. Or other way. BUT, THEY ARE DIFFERENT ENOUGH, that someone knowing one can't simply cross the border and talk fluent with the other. Why is this? Well, TD commonly boils down to very similar gameplay. And similarly, the limitations arta DON'T HAVE, that other classes DO HAVE, effect TD. The new class these people are stuck playing. 

Draschel:  No.Broken means that any tank that has abilities exclusive to it, that others cannot duplicate, that centralizes them to exclusive gameplay If you don't know how to define words, who 's problem is that?If your cookies had unbelievable, exclusive properties, in the forms of say maintaining camo on the move, auto-aim assist lock, unable to be tracked/flip and time-out, shell people in parabolic arcs across 720m usual max range, Etc. Yes, your cookies should be replaced with the baked goods surrounding that aren't exclusive.  Many people would argue,  ''but Heyyyyy, aren't TDs exclusive? They have 750 alpha damage earliest, and get camo net bonus"  TDs also stay in the back, attack people out of render range, and have the closest thing to not being able to need aim.....    "but Heyyyyyy,  aren't heavy tanks like Concept 1 and Chieftain and Kran, exclusive? They have heavily armored turrets becoming near impossible issues near ridge or rubble" Well, a few things.TD still need to aim, sure do. They can't miss a targets by a dozen ft and still do 300dmg. They also still need to aim in respect to that, an object 260 or IS7 for example auto-ricochet angle, is still an autoricochet angle even for 300 AP pen. Even the lowly pike nose plate of Defender or 50 TP in tier 8, will bounce out 395mm HEAT pen. And lastly, we have track shots, that even with arty can be quite stinging, say 400 damage to sidescraping VK7201 or 705A from conquer GC. We all know what they did to HE on tanks like Type 5, or 110E4 and FVs, to avoid this very same problem.  TD STILL NEED TO AIM, all arty need to do is dial-in to the best of their reticle, fire, pray and hope their shot lands within 50% of their burst area. Then reap whatever roll of the dice their reward is:  sometimes  71 damage.  sometimes 371 damage.   TD camo net, well chances are anyone other tank behind said bush using a camo net aren't being spotted anyway. Bush is whats broken in these instances, not camo net. And if you are using camo net TD boost, outside of bushes.....lol  tell me how that pans out for you. Just Curious. This value, largely gets nullified because other tanks, have generally higher base camo values than TD. In comparison to LT, TD don't have higher base camo values than LT, AND LT MOVE with their camo, TD don't. The fewer example of TD, that are actual try-hard bush camper like E25, T67, SU76FT, SU85B, WZ131FT, Etc are either premium or low tier no one cares about, and don't screw around late tiers. For example, higher base camo late tier TD, like Badger, WZ113G, and 268, have less relative camo than say a med like 907. E25 is a prem they can't touch. S tanks are another problem altogether, and yes I'd have to agree that they need changing. Heavy tanks owning maps because of ridge and hulldowns, well this is a positional thing. You need to own up to strengths and weaknesses. But, to be devils advocate, although a Concept 1 and Chieftain and super conqueror can utterly own maps with spotting and firepower on ridges or concealed by rubble.....so to can IS7, STI, 260, 279E. They just generally, cannot shoot back for damage. But they are still there, roadblocks, annoying as hell, spotting. Many things can hull down. And hulldown comes in many forms. I have seen things hulldown like Type 64, dickermax - that despite no armor are impossible to hit, because they are so small targets and their gun only appears. And they spot EVERYTHING  You speak like you have very little game experience and fundamentals. It shows, extremely. 

Draschel:  This is even the polite way of putting things.1.2k damage is high end, for people that have these sorts of complaints.Many many many more, don't even do the base 1,000. Like 750.  There are tonnes of streamers out there, like iyouxin, skill4ltu, orzanel that still play non-hull down heavy tanksThe trick is, ultimately knowing position and your role. Playing to another enemy's strengths, isn't a strength 

Draschel:  The armor is not **okay**   The armor by tier is great and flexible.The mobility is not bad, for its size and provided armor. It is fine.The most powerful attribute was reduced pref MM, only seeing tier 6s.       but this does not mean much anymore because people just play SA  

TeriyakiTanker: Thats obviously not what I said...... What I am very clearly saying is that if you do not contribute, and we can be honest here 240ish damage a game is not contributing, you are much more likely to lose games quickly and badly.  And more importantly if you do not like that outcome instead of coming on the forum and whining you would be better served by actually trying to play the game, and possibly even learning to be better.  But please white knight a little more. We are not talking about a player that is new, he has been around for 4ish years and played over 20k games.  In that time they have basically asked every one of their teammates to carry them to a win.  That isn't a balance problem that is a player problem.  you can pretend it is something else but at the end of the day I will suggest that it actually is balance.  If a team goes into a battle with a player who is useless it seems like that would be a reasonable outcome in a balanced game.

TeriyakiTanker: Yes its super high and mighty to suggest someone who basically contributes nothing when playing might want to look at themselves before complaining about games ending rather quickly in losses.......

TeriyakiTanker: He is giving you good information and it appears you are the one who doesn't have the intellectual resources to have a rational discussion.  The bottom line is you aren't doing enough damage to make money in the system that WG designed, and frankly losing 12k in a tier IX or X isn't bad at all.

TeriyakiTanker:
For a worthless player like you who averages less than 250 damage a game it probably is.

Draschel:  People don't read chat.Some people have chat even off.Some may not even know english.Its hard for some people to type it out. A one-stroke command is pretty easy to implement, doing 1 crucial thing concisely.   

Draschel: Introduce a ''flipped over command''  How can this still not be a thing in the gameHelp is not enough. And help means ten thousand things. Flipped over means 1 thing

Draschel:  When said "better" player lectures about fairness, it is good for everything. because said better player, understands, and is willing to make that said sacrifice.  You are so insistent on what you have to say, because of what others have to say and what they want, impact you. And your assets. How is this any different? If an alt account, playing tiers II, IV, V in pitiful amount of games, wins and sums more PR than your account, with x13 more battles, all I have to say is lol.....   

Draschel:  Knowledge is power. Plenty of sourced material on things like Nozh. 

Jaguarz:  Given you seem to play mainly arty you do it?

Einzelganger7: Yes, I have the Made in USA 2D style on my Panther M10 so you can.

TeriyakiTanker: You need to buy the tank.  I own the tank and just like the poster above I can train her for it.

Einzelganger7: Exactly. Just like Korvick said, you can't assign crew members if you do not own that specific tech tree tank so try to research/purchase the tank and then you can put her on it.

churchill50: It was nerfed by the recent HE nerfs. There aren't any "HESH mechanics" in this game. They use the same exact mechanics as HE, only with higher pen. So, HESH will do less damage on a non-pen. Think 300 on a non-penning FV183 hit vs the 700 it used to do.But, on the other hand, HESH can now pen some tracks and spaced armor, meaning if you aim it can be much more effective.

Einzelganger7:  It should be for the fact that it's a captured tank by the French but we can't use German crew on it, same story for Pudel or King Tiger C, more captured vehicles that deserve dual nation feature.

Draschel:  They are always on the thugz server.  Dare they step out of it.I am surprised the person even sent him a message to begin with.And it wasn't a bot he was shooting at 6 times in a row. 

Draschel:  Not to be the devil here, but just a pointer.The presence and usage of premium ammunition, doesn't make you a spammer.There are certain cases, where 227mm AP pen isn't enough even for the weakspot of a tankAnd while I would never recommend you sit in front of something like 705A or Badger, to hit their LFP *weakspot* with assurance, using 289 instead of 227 pen, there are certain times where it makes all the difference. Esp for a low DPM tank like Kreslav, that MUST MAKE SHOTS COUNT. 320 for example, is a large gap in tank - marking parameters. The difference in doing 2,500 VS 2,100,  is hard to pass in an eight  

Jambijon: Another update! The season has started! Check the original post for details.

Einzelganger7: I have Bretagne Panther but haven't played it due to that, but I will not give up and I still have my hopes for dual nation on more tanks.
