Jaguarz: pfft the timer was still in double digits!!! I would have been screaming at you to cap when you were there I think that arty was out of shells too at that point. Ammo capacity really is a balancing feature of those little things. Heres my Fadins in it, I was capping and it was unlikely the AT-15a was going to reach me but still, last round and the hand of God guided it into an impossible shot at pretty close to max spotting range  

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Starting today (3Sep) and running until 7Sep enjoy discounts on almost everything. XP conversion Tank Discounts Customizations And even x5 XP for the first win of the day.  More information on all the good stuff can be found HERE. 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!  The latest super test tank brought up a lot of questions about WoT and how they find some tanks. Some think it is a fever dream of mashing tanks together like the M4A2 T-34. I certainly did after checking online and only finding the Sherman with a turret on top which doesn't match the picture at all. On behalf of all the curious, I asked the Super-test team to show their work and this is what came back.  In 1943-44, the Central Artillery Design Bureau (CADB) studied the issue of improving the characteristics of tanks in service with the Red Army. This concerned, first of all, weapons, the profile work of the CADB. In addition to initiative projects, the design bureau also worked on instructions from above, in particular, the issue of installing more powerful weapons on tanks supplied under Lend-Lease was raised. This was not the first such case: the design bureau of Factory №92, the backbone of which later moved to CADB, was already working on this topic. It resulted in the appearance of the Matilda and Valentine tanks, rearmed with Soviet guns. The tanks successfully passed the tests but did not go into production. The leading role in the work of CADB on the topic of rearmament of tanks was played by engineer A.S. Chasovnikov. In January 1944, he presented a project for re-equipping foreign tanks with domestic weapon systems. One of the proposals was the conversion of the American M4A2 medium tanks for the installation of the turrets of the Soviet T-34 medium tanks. At the same time, the turret was re-equipped with an 85-mm tank gun. Theoretically, CADB already had experience in installing 85-mm guns in standard tank turrets, in addition, in the spring of 1942, a project was developed for an 85-mm ZIK-1 tank gun, which also used, with minimal changes, the F-34 gun cradle. The idea was considered at a meeting convened on February 15, 1944, at the initiative of Guards Colonel E.A. Kulchitsky. On it, Chasovnikov's projects were criticized, partly fair. At the same time, Chasovnikov's projects should not be viewed as a private initiative. In the same year, 1944, the KV-1s with an 85 mm F-28 cannon entered trials; this work was also supervised by Chasovnikov. The armament has been successfully tested and was recommended for serial production. It did not take place because that there were already very few KV-1s. Hope this information helps out and lets everyone learn something new for the day.

Draschel: Make sure you use the long-barrel 105mm for better gun depression, gun handling. At 2,221 base DPM, 253mm penetration, worlds better velocity and accuracy--Oho can definitely surprise enemies who think it would instead use the HE gun. 

Draschel: HEAT can penetrate tracks. But it does so, differently than HESH and HE penetrating tracks. HEAT is usually able to penetrate most tracks even the thickest ones (actual track) and creates a small pressure vector. This pressure vector follows through in its initial shot trajectory toward the vehicle, with the pressure vector losing penetration value over distance covered after the HEAT activates. By HEAT activating, I mean sparking and starting its journey. Pictured:https://ibb.co/Hpc9F3gHEAT does not do this process, versus obstacles. So you can't shoot through cars, trucks, doghouse, fence, gate. As you can imagine, HEAT because of this property, sucks versus tank tracks that::Incorporate track very large and thick. Like Jag panzer, E100, Type 4, Type 5.Incorporate heavy armor (side armor) behind the tracks, like IS4. Maus HE and HESH penetrate tracks and gun barrels differently than HEAT. They strike a target, and attempt to penetrate with its rolled value. If they do penetrate, they continue towards the tank body at direction shot at. Then hits the tank body, and again with the remaining penetration value left, attempts penetration again. Failure to penetrate, causes detonation and spall for minor damage. Failure to penetrate initial tank gun barrel or tracks, causes SCREEN NOT PENETRATED, no damage dealt. Your shell didn't reach the tank body. The vehicle modules, spaced armor panels, gun barrels  Etc  have I believe 3x modifier effectiveness vs HE / HESH rounds. 25mm track becomes 75mm, Etc. HE and HESH will penetrate obstacles and continue. Solid obstacles like homes, garages, barns cause explosions that cannot cause enemy damage, but cause a splash to deal lots of damage to the obstacle / structure.    

Jaguarz: For all of WOTs faults, and there are many, WOWs is an embarassment and sadly it looks like one of them made it to the WOT team because crew 2.0 is a direct copy and paste of the garbage paragon system they were forced to abandon in WOWs

DeviouslyCursed: I guess no one has a rational explanation as to why there are differences in how the RNG is supposed to be rigged by the people who claim it is, despite it being described as "clear," "obvious," and a matter of "common sense." There are two possibilities. The game is rigged, or the game is not rigged. Let's look at each situation and see how one would expect accusations of rigging to look like in each situation. If the game actually was rigged, you would expect there to at least be consistency with what people are finding and one would expect anomalies in the data that could not be explained. We have neither right now. If the game was not rigged, what would we expect to see? People would think they see a pattern somewhere, and then Confirmation Bias reinforces this view until it is rock solid in the person's mind, and nothing will convince them otherwise. I explained it in another thread. The initial error is called Apophenia, or the human mind's ability to see patterns where none exist. If people claiming the game is rigged are falling victim to this, you would expect them to find patterns where there are none. What would this look like? Well, people would be claiming different things, for one. What would the data reveal? No evidence of rigging. This is all similar to what we have going on now. Okay, it's not similar, it is exactly like what we have going on now. With all the various ways people are claiming the game is rigged, they can't all be true as many of them contradict each other. They can all be false, however. By the way, the only way the people who claim it's rigged can tell which of them, if any, are correct is with data. Without actual evidence it is just accusations being tossed around, all with the assurance that they are the ones not falling victim to the mind's errors, but the others clearly are. All because their version of rigging is "obvious." Well, I've not seen any rigging, and so far the data doesn't show any either. So, if you think the game is rigged, show your data. Show your evidence. Otherwise, it's just people being people. 

1LT_Dwayne: Luckily I only played one battle with bots out of a total of 10.

Einzelganger7: I have 17k bonds so I had my hopes to see something interesting like a Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 or a VK 75.01 K but nope! They added basically just communist stuff and one british light tank. So I guess I have to wait another year to see another four tanks added to the bond store and hope that this time they will add a German tank, at this point I'd be happy even if they'd add the Jagdtiger 88mm or the Mauerbrecher.

DeviouslyCursed:  Oh, well I haven't noticed any difference. Just that Safe Haven is near impossible to come up.

DeviouslyCursed: Yes.

DeviouslyCursed: The server only loads so many maps at a time, for a certain amount of time. You only get those maps during that time. After that time expires, a new set of maps is loaded, and you can get those maps for the next time period. I don't know how long the time periods are, nor how many maps are loaded at once.

DeviouslyCursed:  You dodged again. Fourth post, no insults from me or "trollish" behavior.. If the rigging is obvious, why do the people who claim rigging have different views on how it is rigged? It should be clear if it is obvious. Some say RNG rigged at the start to determine which team wins. At least one says rigged at the end once one team is winning. Some say rigged by MM by placing good players on one team. Some say rigged to produce streaks. Some say rigged to keep you at 50%. Some (like you I think, because you don't commit to anything precise) say it's rigged more individually. If it is so obvious, and so clear, why do the people who claim it's rigged not agree with each other? If it's so obvious, and you guys are just more observant than others, then you should all be on the same page. But you are not. What is your answer to that? Or you could just dodge. Again. This question is open to anyone who thinks the game is rigged, btw.

Draschel:  Short barrel howitzers just need some preparation. And know-how, deployment, surroundings, awareness.These should not be fighting too far away from their targets, to which 0.55  or  similar accuracy, or long 3+ aim-time matter. They should be in urban areas and city sprawl, and ambushing their targets with minimal movement before firing. This is done easier now than before, because map-locking easily removes malinovka and prokhorovka.  

Draschel:  The point is, a team mate not in an artillery piece, who knows the game well and plays just as well, is worth more than one in artillery.As the easiest class to play, its worth is really hard to judge. A good player in a tank is worth many times more than an arta 

_BobaFett: NO.

TeriyakiTanker: Same here, two a day and that is pretty easy with daily missions giving you 70 points if you have a premium account.

1LT_Dwayne: Wow! That's fcking sad! Now I'll have to rush the line and my crews will suck.

1LT_Dwayne:

TeriyakiTanker: He isn't on anything.... he is off his meds.  Sent me a PM in game about how I was trolling him on the forums, no clue what he is on about but he is a real freak.

1LT_Dwayne: I went to play my lower tiers tanks to grind some line and first game I played I saw 4 bots on each team. I made sure it was on central server but wthis this? Since when they have put bots? And why I can't use w-t-f?

Elias_K_Grodin: Heyo, thanks for providing this! In addition, the Support team can assist you with diagnosing the issue.Create a report on the WGC launcher Attach the report to the Support ticket Screenshots of any error messages (if you have them) The report should provide the crucial information the support team needs to find out more about what you're experiencing.

Elias_K_Grodin: Unresponsive tank + loss of vehicle control usually points to latency and lag spikes. I don't see much for troubleshooting but I see a lot of complaints about monetization features and the support team. If you're having high ping, a reinstall will not fix the issue but figuring out where the network bottleneck is will help isolate it.In the WGC launcher, go to "?" tab on the left side Go to "create report" - let the report generate Once report is finished, go to the folder Create a Support ticket, attach the zip file into the ticket  The Support team will take a look at the file and they can determine where the network bottleneck is isolated to.

Jaguarz: lol, how worthless, to have delayed updating it for so long and to drop in only trash

Jaguarz: KPZ 50t though you cant go wrong with both, get more bonds and buy both  KPZ is a medium, better dpm, better pen, better gun better speed better camo and both have solid armour frontally (though the concepts turret is like trying to shoot at a screwdriver head on....) Its just more versatile imo but then Im not much of a heavy player, even heaviums. 

Einzelganger7: I was hoping to get a German tank but only saw 3/4 being soviet and chinese on the new additions...

Elias_K_Grodin: Attention Tankers! One of the most competitive modes returns to World of Tanks with three new Seasons and new changes. Along with its launch, we have update the Bonds Shop with new bundles and tanks. You can purchase Premium and Reward vehicles for Bonds in the updated in-game shop — directly in your game client. Find out more about the new tanks here!

TeriyakiTanker:
You are wrong.  It literally adds the amount stated.  You can go to http://www.planetwot.com/Crewxp/ and double check yourself.  It’s even easier to check on any crew that needs more than 20k exp to go up one percent.

1LT_Dwayne: Yep! Just got the message that the replay used an older version. Was trying to view one of my battle with the 112 where I got a mastery badge. Another thing that shows their incompetency is the need to use a third party website to view armor details. 

DeviouslyCursed:  You dodged again. Third post, no insults. If the rigging is obvious, why do the people who claim rigging have different views on how it is rigged?

DeviouslyCursed: I hereby declare that everyone in this thread is wrong.

1LT_Dwayne: I didn't notice anything different concerning ping and lag but the queue time for battle seems longer. Most of them takes more than 1min.

Jaguarz:  Sooner have crap stats and all my resources and crews.....
