Draschel: Well, good that we are in agreement. About the camping, it
would reduce some. Not all.In order to remove a vast majority of
camping, you need to: 1-- Make maps balanced. Maps with
huge forest cover are the majority culprit, like malinka, redshire,
prokh, murovka, they encourage really stale camps.2-- Make
light tanks now mediums, make artillery now tank destroyers. While
an extreme measure, no doubt it would SEVERELY reduce camp
fests.3-- Reduce camo ratings. Make VR max 475m, proxy
75m

That is why we get blowouts. And, in my opinion, blowouts
aren't due to good players on one team, but baddies on one team
donating their tank and HP to the enemies cause right away, leaving
their team in the lurch. They are consequences of poor
play. Nothing more.

scales. Good players stacked onto a single team, don't lead to 15-3
massacres in 4 minutesIts what the bad people do, that is the
issue. If the bad players, go on out and do bad, your team
wheezes. What people do not understand is that bad
players can still orient themselves in defensible location,
and be patient - and being startlingly difficult to unseat. At that
moment in time, they aren't bad anymore, now are they critically
thinking. Even if the good player stacked team does win, when it
comes down to do they often do - its longer games that requires
tactical pressing. Not a 15-3 mudslide. The trick to SBMM
isn't through physical force, a queue system force feeding balanced
teams. No.The trick to SBMM is for people to learn patience, and
position, in that even if they aren't skilled enough to
compete at high level, they can at least make it harder on their
opponents. The best thing a bad can do, is not to become a good,
that takes alot of hard work, effort, time. The best thing a bad
can do is simply act more patient. And by patient, I don't
mean passive.

responsible for when a team that is supposed to lose wins. Even a
superior team is subject to those same principles, and is likely
unable to stop it once it gets too far. They may be able to do
enough damage to get some kills and officially flag the match as
"not a landslide" but make no mistake, it is the landslide
mechanics that let the inferior team get the victory. Once it
starts, it is VERY difficult to stop.

Yes I know the tank is stock, bone stock even, I don't have the upgraded tracks, I'm rushing to the 90 so I can end my pain with this 88mm gun, my free Premium time runs out tomorrow so I need to have the 90 before then so I can stop slinging gold just to pen same tier heavies. Also have better dispersion. Ironically I actually enjoyed playing the O-Ni. That 152mm was fun back when derp guns were effective, got it marked and everything. The reason I am harsh on this tank is because I have physically played better Tier 7 tanks from stock to fully upgraded.

Draschel: I don't have an italian premium. And furthermore, I suggested
something not difficult at all to do, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE. Holy
moly, the lost art of reading. No one ever suggested for you to
spend gold to do it. The tank isn't a front line heavy tank
like ONI. In fact, few tier VII heavy tanks are front line tanks to
be specific. Other than ONI, Tiger P, Skoda 44 and 45
-- tier 7 heavy tanks have real armor issues that can't
reliability even protect them from 175AP. You are being overly
critical of Carro, even though heavy tanks like AMX M4, Tiger H
exist that have even less armor. And most tanks have engine deck
and roof difficulties, not just this one. This is a
problem of account management, and 'fact' recognition. Not trying
to shame you, but you can do alot better if you paid more attention
up front. Alot of this suffering, you have brought up
yourself.

assistance damage, have their experience and earnings per battle,

is indicative of your results with the FV183 Your damage per
battle, indicates that you are within the camp of ''right click
left click HE derp'' Not necessarily using auto -aim, but
pretty much fire off a shot center of mass and take whatever you
get. If you were the type of person that positioned yourself more
properly, and aimed more for penetrations, your damage would be
higher. A lot higher, mind you. Again, this isn't an ElVie blitz, its just concerning your
results. The HE changes were put in place to prevent this.

DeviouslyCursed: If you are playing the same tanks over a decent amount of
battles, sure. But I have no idea if QB used the same tanks or not.
Tank variations can easily surpass 2%. Back in the day I ran 3
completely FTP accounts with no platooning, etc, and they had 56%,
57%, and 58% win rates. That's a 2% difference between the 1st and
3rd accounts, and only difference was tank lines I went
down. I did those accounts because back then we had morons
saying skill didn't matter, and accounts were "pre-selected" for
good win rates. You know, kind of like the morons now that say it's
rigged.

with the same company and get promoted a few times, tend to make
less money than people new hired into that same position that the
dedicated employee rose up to. When I worked retail, the raises you
got tended to not keep up with the hiring wage increases, again
making it a situation where the longer term employees made less or
as maybe equal to new hires.

MORE work to allow you to play Tanks? wow...
DeviouslyCursed, on Aug 27 2021 - 06:34, said: Well, actually.... The company I work at has a habit
of under-hiring for all the departments. Right now we all have to
work OT each week to keep up. I work 1-2 hours, some work 5-10.
Each week. Because of that, the department has been in a "unlimited
OT" status for the last 4 months, and will likely stay that way at
least through the end of the year. The job I do, the work
keeps coming in whether you are there or not. Because everyone
can't even get their own work done in a day, they can't get yours
done while you are gone either. That means you have to make it up.
Anytime you take PTO, whether planned or unplanned, you get behind.
That means you work extra. Common sense says you work the makeup
time the next week, where you are already getting 40 hours and
everything extra is OT (1.5 times). (You don't want to work extra
the week you took a day off because you didn't actually work 40
hours, and therefore it's not OT, just regular pay) What
does all that mean? Basically, I don't work Friday, and use
PTO to still get paid. Then I work Sunday to get all that work
done, and since that is on the next week where I will also work M-F
40 hrs, I get paid 1.5 for the work on Sunday. For that 8
hours of work I actually get paid 2.5 times for it (1.0 for PTO
hours + 1.5 OT hours). I actually make more money by calling
off and playing tanks. Hey, I'm not the Einstein in upper

do my work, I will have to later, and get paid more doing it (OT vs
regular pay). See below...
DeviouslyCursed, on Aug 27 2021 - 06:34, said: Well, actually.... The company I work at has a habit
of under-hiring for all the departments. Right now we all have to
work OT each week to keep up. I work 1-2 hours, some work 5-10.
Each week. Because of that, the department has been in a "unlimited
OT" status for the last 4 months, and will likely stay that way at
least through the end of the year. The job I do, the work
keeps coming in whether you are there or not. Because everyone
can't even get their own work done in a day, they can't get yours
done while you are gone either. That means you have to make it up.
Anytime you take PTO, whether planned or unplanned, you get behind.
That means you work extra. Common sense says you work the makeup
time the next week, where you are already getting 40 hours and
everything extra is OT (1.5 times). (You don't want to work extra
the week you took a day off because you didn't actually work 40
hours, and therefore it's not OT, just regular pay) What
does all that mean? Basically, I don't work Friday, and use
PTO to still get paid. Then I work Sunday to get all that work
done, and since that is on the next week where I will also work M-F
40 hrs, I get paid 1.5 for the work on Sunday. For that 8
hours of work I actually get paid 2.5 times for it (1.0 for PTO
hours + 1.5 OT hours). I actually make more money by calling
off and playing tanks. Hey, I'm not the Einstein in upper
management that likes to under hire and makes this all possible. I

It looks AMAZING! I'll prob just keep the crew in it and not use
them for anything else. I don't know, we'll see. Who knows, if
I fight enough of them while grinding, maybe I'll decide NOT to get
it. Though it is worth noting that the Cent 7/1 was one of my

Projectile_Misfired, on Aug 27 2021 - 06:19, said: So, what you're really asking is where should you concentrate your
"work" effort. Because, even if you "skipped" your
"normal job", you'd still be putting in a lot of "work effort"
in grinding out a lot of discounts. If it were me, I would
go to work, earn my $$$, come home, play some leisurely games, earn
some discounts, then consider buying the tank. Look at it a
different way. If you stayed home to grind out discounts on the
tank, you may make it to, rough estimate, at most 50% in a single
day. But, you'll STILL be paying probably around $35USD (price for
the tank hasn't been released as of this post, so going with the
typical @ $75USD for "marathon" tanks). If you went to
your "normal job", if you make at least $12USD per hour, you should
be able to clear fully purchasing the tank when you got home. But,
if you add in any discounts you could earn once you're home (which
could easily be 20% discount in your time-frame), you will
technically be coming out ahead. Plus, you save yourself some of
the frustration that you may encounter playing the game.
"Marathons" tend to bring out the same type of players that you get
on "x5" weekends.

DeviouslyCursed: Also keep in mind for every dollar you lower the cost, you
lose a dollar for every tank that you would have sold at the
original price. You have to sell enough additional tanks to make up
for that lost amount. Then there is the saturation factor. Do
you want EVERYONE to have each tank that comes out? What would that
do to your game? Keeping tanks somewhat exclusive may be worth more
in the end then letting everyone be able to get all the prem tanks.

account... and actually the account before this one too, both of
which I spent money on. So... technically I could make a case that
paying doesn't help. Though I will admit I cared more about my win
rate back then. I would also say there is a difference between
playing with large kits and prem ammo and then trying to play
without them, than never having used them at all. I never used to
screw up hitting the right numbers when I always used small kits.
Now I can't repair/heal anything to save my butt if I put a small

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! 
The Tier VIII
Swedish Bofors Tornvagn heavy tank has been sent to the closed
Supertest stage. The vehicle has a 120 mm gun with 400 damage
per shot. The standard APCR shell penetrates 248 mm, while the
special APCR shell penetrates 297 mm. The shell velocity is
comfortable, but it is worth remembering that APCR shells lose
their penetration rate a little more with distance than AP shells.
The gun has accuracy of 0.45, aiming time of 2 s, and a reloading
speed of 14 s.The turret has an unusual design. The nominal armor
thickness reaches 280 mm in the turret and 260 mm in the hull. The
gun depression elevation angles are impressive at -10/20 deg. The
vehicle has 1,600 HP. Its top speed is 32 km/h and the
power-to-weight ratio is 11.6 h.p./t. The Bofors Tornvagn is a
tank that will perform well among terrain irregularities thanks to
its good gun elevation/depression angles, and its rather powerful
gun should help deal with any enemy. However, the relatively slow
turret and hull traverse speed can make it an easy target for
maneuverable vehicles, so you should stick with your allies.
