Jaguarz:  Or you know, you can spec your heavies to reduce stun durations

Jaguarz: Its not hugely different than before the HE nerfs, its will always be a RNG machine because your performance is dependent on map, team, ammo situation and... well RNG. Its good for extreme TD missions and its quite fun, for me anyway, some games are killer, some games are trash, such is the way of the RNG machine, if you dont enjoy it, well there are 100s of other tanks to play. Oh and I still run mostly hesh, its too funny when it works not to. 

Jaguarz:  It increases one part of the tank and decreases another, you literally get a negative with the positive, it will help min/maxing on some tanks but its not hugely significant. The ability to change loadout on start of map however is huge.

Jaguarz: The 2 button

Jaguarz: Its.... a weird one Its one of the very few heavy tanks I actually enjoy, its weaknesses force me to play to its strengths as opposed to psuedo medium play in things like the 277, 260 and so on. Its a world class bait machine with that front nose, you can angle it up to effective 500+ armour and just peek it around corners and make enemy waste shots. Its lower plate is NOT a weak spot, its about 260mm looking at it frontally with no angling so have a good change to bounce most standard t10 rounds with it without angling. Its strength lies in confusing people, its layout is unusual and people are formulaic so it throws a spanner in a lot of peoples approach, someone who knows what they are doing will shoot its many weak spots, its dpm is outright trash and insulting. It can be incredibly strong in the right hands but it has zero flexibility, poor dpm and a armour layout which can troll you as much as the enemy, imo its a good candidate for a buff

churchill50: Did you think Field Modifications were free?

CabMech:

Is the Return Crew to Vehicle button not working?

churchill50: One thing OP. Unless I am very much mistaken (which I shouldn't be since I got on the CT server), you can use Elite XP to unlock Field Modifications. You don't need to convert it to Free XP first. That means you can use the XP accumulated on any elite tank to unlock Field Mods on that tank.The only time where you would need to convert the XP to Free XP is if you want to use it to unlock Field Mods on a tank that you haven't accumulated Elite XP on yet.Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, since you never know if WG changed something last minute and/or unannounced. Field Mods are still a horrible idea that never should have been implemented in the game. There's already too much of a gap between new and established players. We didn't need Field Mods to widen that gap (and we definitely don't need Crew 2.0 to widen that gap even further).However, what you outlined is a non-issue.

Einzelganger7: Tanks GG is the site I use to watch armor models so here you go. KV-4 https://tanks.gg/tan...4/model?vm=live KV-4 Kreslavskiy https://tanks.gg/tan...l/model?vm=live

DeviouslyCursed:  Oh I agree, I probably wouldn't play the game if there was no RNG. My mouse hand is effectively gone at this point. Well that and most FPS games went from server side detection to client side, and that's just garbage gameplay.

DeviouslyCursed:  That video is why mouse + keyboard > controller, and why any game that tries to combine platforms has to give the controller users and aim assist or they have no chance at all.

DeviouslyCursed:  Regardless, if you take out RNG, the win rate disparity between the worst and the best will increase.  

DeviouslyCursed:  I would propose that all percentages would increase, but the best players would be damn near 100% pen without RNG. And the worst player's wouldn't increase nearly as much. I don't know if there is anyway to tell what would happen for sure. Just my experience of being able to be instantly banned in most CoD servers back in the day, and the top players could still smoke me easy.

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed:  

DeviouslyCursed:  As much as I like to point out Maniac57c's insanity on many things, he is right here. You want to see true domination of elite players? Remove RNG, and watch the carnage. You think people hitting your commander's hatch is bad now? Remove RNG and watch the skilled players snipe that s*** from across the map at 500+ meters while exposing themselves for a fraction of a second. And yes, they will be able to do it without any hacks. I could hit what pixel I wanted in COD back in the day. I'm older now, and not that good anymore.  But most people have no idea how good the best can be.

Draschel: Bleh,  notepad, screwed that up good. Oh well.  you have got one upvote this entire thread. No one cares what you say, for real.I think that is the funniest thing here, actually. And you are talking about no one wanting these changes.  

Draschel:  Nope. By merit. But fools do not listen to merit. Actually, they do not listen at all. Only to foolery. Fools do 2012  2k damage in a tier X, 2021. Not so foolish, do 3-4k.  Here are the reasons, that I am sure many would agree with were problems::  HE spam, hurting your team with lethargy. Your team needs people, to fittingly use DPM, the right tools for the job. Not spam nonsense HE spam, using a general purpose damaging shell, regardless of aim. The bigger the bore, the more general the purpose and universal it works HE spam, spall liner not working properly. Now I think it has been corrected, with 1.13 changes. Dez gamez has a video on it if interested, pre 1.13.  Broken mechanics. Wouldn't matter if you hit gun barrel, or outer decals, or track belts. IE,  not tank hitpoint body. Reasonable, infuriating damage gets done.          Aiming HE is moot point, as even though aimed HE deals more damage, like a roof or engine deck strike, chances are that amount of aiming can be utilized using anti armor ammo, to              deal full damage. Again, laziness, Gtfo. Unreliability, inconsistency. 112 can spam HE vs Lowe, same spot twice in a row, deal 0  one time,  deal 200 the next. The most armored part too.           While AP or HEAT from 112 can certainly have a gap too, like 293-487, thats within the expected 25% width. HE could be 0, or could be 275. You never know. The enemy has 1,500                 HP, you deal 300 HE damage. The enemy has 25 HP, you deal 0 and it survives. Tank on cap has 15 cap pts up load HE and fire for reset. Tank has 95 cap pts, you have HE loaded                 and fire for absorbed, no damage no reset. The game already a rife slot machine, doesn't need any more of this factor. HE hits dealt zero damage quite commonly before 1.13 anyway, especially low bore size. By increasing potential for low bore size like 75+85nn to at least deal some damage,  IE  5-10 HP                   instead of 0, there is utility in them. But big bore size like 155, which WG clearly see people have propensity to spam, for no aimed damage  &  outer module hit yet damage,                             they came down hard on it. People are just panty in a knot because their 60TP, KV2, OI  can't center of mass anymore for respectable damage.Broken, number 2. Position, counters tanks. A bad player, in a good position counters good people, in bad ones. Great players, play lousy tanks like panzer wagon, AMX30B, WZ120 yet do                well, because they know position. Yet, bad players who bought their 260, 279E, chieftain, 907 Etc typically do bad in them, or at least bad for these vehicles typical scores, because                  they don't know position. Only by accident, freak occurrence, do they find themselves accidentally in good position, and do well. Unknowingly as why they did well. HE totally counters              position in the worst possible, laziest way. And the unreliability too, is7 hull down takes 800 damage from FV  1st time, then takes 250 the 2nd. It all links up to be problematic. A                        person, should not be thinking to engage someone in superior machine, in superior position frontally. With HE. They wanted this laziness gone.Broken, number 3, causing too many internal critical damage, even with low damage dealt. Grille splash strv for non pen, 350 damage but kills all crew?  lol?  WG specifically mentions the                  unfair, highly scrutinized Maus and jagpanzer E100 examples front turret or superstructure hit, causing engine fire below hit. They wanted this crap gone. Everybody did.Why have an  HE listed penetration amount, if the first thing it does is contact and explode, and penetrate or not. HE now accordingly performs like it should, it has a listed pen value.                            It strikes, tries to pen its listed value, then explodes. This is a great, new edition. HE isn't HEAT, it doesn't strike and fire form, detonate, until its listed penetration value             is                        consumed or its scores a body hit or is absorbed by spaced armor. And this isn't a debate over realism, go play War thunder if you want that. This is a debate of WG using its                            listed numbers       

Draschel: No one says ever, except the bad, that KV2 is op. Now you are just flailing away, in nonsense. Its broken, not op. You obviously don't have a clue. Arty isn't op. It is broken. There are distinct differences. You are a jealous bigot, that is all. You hate what you do not understand, what you cannot grasp, how you can't replicate it, and what you do not have as result. But hate it even more, that WG has taken away your broken derp shot. Cry and cry. I love it. And I do agree, MM, RNG, arta, camo rates, reward vehicle strength are problems. But I don't pick and choose what WG decides to buff or nerf. I take my blessings though that recent ones like arta reductions (2 actually within 1 yr) EBR rollbacks, anonymizer, Type 5 changes have been great for the game recently. And it continues to be great, with HE change.     

Draschel: and I didn't even respond. Better players above, again as we have seen before, saying HE is fine.  argue away. and you still haven't told me your proof on complaints why this HE rework wasn't asked for. so others have to show proof, but you don't? Good players, don't usually play low tier s------- Mid tiers are tier 7-8. High tier are 9-10. so with this understood, a good player will generally still encounter su152, OI, KV2, regularly in tier 7-8 tanks. And particularly oho, T49  &  sheridan, Type 4  &  5, FVs Again, it is ignorant and insulting, for you to say its just reward tank owners that just asked for these changes. You are bitter, because you don't have any yourself, probably wouldn't do too well in them anyway, get dominated by them all the time, and frankly aren't good enough to get in a top clan to vie for one either. Go sulk somewhere else. Is it about as snobby and elitist, I imagine as great players telling the bad ones who hate these changes, to learn how to play, aim, fight for position, not be lazy. Well, I rather be a snob, than someone who doesn't know position, awareness, aiming, trading, usefulness.  

DeviouslyCursed:  The measure of who is good will be your public elo.

DeviouslyCursed:  Actually you could argue SBMM will make them more money, since you would continuously have to get every conceivable advantage in hopes of overcoming your equivalent on the other team. If you don't use everything, but he does, guess who is more likely to win? But I know, that doesn't fit with the BS narrative you SBMM guys like to spin.

Jambijon: I forgot to get my Yakul added to the collage so I'm sharing her here

DeviouslyCursed:  It's "Ludicrous Speed" My main's account name is Eagle5     Spaceballs is one of the greatest movies of all time.

Einzelganger7: I've been waiting since October 2020 for this decal but I guess they will not release it any time soon... 

Draschel: No.  Because tier 6 isn't a high tier? Low tier s------   Factually, its that many players (talking about good ones) don't pub low tiers anymore, much of their low tier scores are before the tiers 1-6 HP rework, crew 2.0 change, so naturally their numbers of ~1K that they have half a decade ago are obsolete. And if they'd return to it now, they'd have 1.5K I'd wager. But they don't play low tiers anymore. As I said, no one cares (good players)  For example, Skill4ltu is doing 3 marks on RU, returning to alot of low tier s--- he never plays anymore on EU, and is getting outrageous DPG like 2K+  6s, 2.5K+ in 7s. And he is not even a player that exclusively values damage.  All the HE complaints, bar quickybaby, are bad players. Not all, improper to say that. But 95%, yes. There are outliers. You've been told why people think HE in its former iteration is bad for the game several times. And yes, HE mechanics have changed before. I don't remember the patch, but its explained by the Matilda II collision model.  

Draschel: Leo and Leo Pta are good tanks. Even after Pta nerfE100 has certainly benefitted from its changes, more than IS4. But E100 accuracy loss is weirdE50M sucks and needs DPM increase, but E50 is awesomeBorsig and wafflecock are good, Grille needs its former self though.E75 and VK4502 P B are solid, steady performers As for premiums, skorpion G, E75TS, HK30 are nice. Lowe I'd say still is subpar  

Draschel:  I cannot disagree with that. And I never said WG should cater to the best players that play this game. And furthermore, they don't anyway. But, better players UNDISPUTEDLY, regardless of the changes they want, UNDERSTAND the game better. Who cares, for one second, about what someone wants. Inherently, they understand the game. Far better than bad players do. With this in mind, it is easy for them to judge what is fair, unfair - regardless of what they have. Should a math student, who gets straight As in trig analysis, pre calc, and calc step forward and just teach math to the classroom? Rarely works. People have been making curriculum, teaches are there that are registered by some body, and its worked like this for hundreds of years, the process of as best as possible for most possible molding (or trying to) a steady pace for students to learn concepts and laws at a rate commonly observed. Should a hockey player like Brett hull who seemed to have little difficulty scoring a goal, make all the rules within the NHL and NHLPA? How about Michael Jordan? No, it does not work that way. But in all these examples, they UNDERSTAND, and PERFORM BETTER, than peers amongst them. You don't understand why HE is bad for the game. You can go to skill4ltu channel, or his discord, and even talk to the guy. Or Iyouxin, significantly open, verbal, great players of this game. And ask them their opinion on HE. You will get alot of the same answers you will find here. HE problems have been addressed countless times. You don't (won't) listen. This isn't the first time there are changes (nerfs) probably won't be the last either People better than you by higher quite the magnitude, explain why it is great for the game. I know it is great for the game, didn't even need to see their content or impressions. Like minded, I KNEW it was going to be great for the game. Your opinions may be popular in the 48% crowd, but aren't in the 55+ Now we can go round circle 100 times, but it all comes down to those that understand, and those that don't What is your proof, on a *few* exactly? I see this nonsense alot. What is your proof, for a few people asking for these changes. Do you also believe it was a *few* asking for type 5 nerfs? If I check WG NA alone, top 10 clans with average player PRs from 7K-10K, who I'm sure the average individual would say they were good changes, we are already talking 1,000 people. Is that a few? No one cares about DPG tiers 1-6. Don't make people laugh, please. We are having a conversation.      

DeviouslyCursed:  I get it. People are irrational. They do irrational things. They form their opinions based off emotions, which clearly hinders their ability to accurately assess reality. As such, many of them won't ever be convinced by actual data and logical reasoning. I can't for the life of me figure out why you think that is such a wonderful thing. My guess is you've never looked into the psychological errors the human mind makes and how frequently they occur. And as far as "move up into the higher realms of decision making about people, what they think, like, and want" ...well, I'd have to forget a lot of what I know in order to "ascend" to that level.

Draschel: Because I win in game. That is where I win.  No one wins on the internet.  But whereas you are content to win 50%, to enjoy your 2.2K and think HE sucks nowSome people want to win 60% in tier X, go after that coveted 4 k damage. And love HE change. Differences here? Extreme perception, performance vs mediocrity. I don't make decisions here. WG does. WG doesn't listen to me, you, him, or her. They do what they want. If you don't like it, leave.Crew changes coming and don't seem to be my thing, my opinion means nothing. It doesn't give me right to scream foul. I can be a part of the game, or leave  See how this works? No one cares. Thanks for being self aware. You win 50% of the time. How very 2012 of you.  

Jaguarz: it works fine so long as you copy it from forums to something else, then copy from there and paste in the forums, lord know what they are trying to do

Draschel:  SU85, M4, Sherman III. Wolverine all ditch their howitzers for consistent AP, DPM, accurate gunsT-34, Strv, ChiNu, DsPz, 25TP, Elc, T1 Heavy all  have capable guns, are capable earners too.  The real consequence of HE nerf is not mid-tier free playing players losing HE to farm credits.The real benefit of HE nerf is for mid-tier free playing players learning valuable skills in aiming and consistency. 

Draschel:  Are you sure about that? Real sure?Using 315mm HEAT, which alot of tanks have to use like 705, 257, 705A, 60TP  1/3rd of the turret is red looking straight at you. Probably more including the gun mantlet in the center.Rotating the turret 40 degrees left or right, and the entire turret even visible sides becomes either dark orange (347~ HEAT gamble for even 340mm pen) or full on solid red. Which any sensible maus driver does to bait others Butter, dictates easy pen. And tanks like E100, Jag Panzer, Type 4 & 5, Maus are not easy penetrations because the user needs premium. They are effectively combat resistant to normal T X standard rounds even looking straight at enemies, no angle. That isn't butter. Certainly isn't *absolutely* butter. Perhaps a poor choice of words. When I think of buttery, cheesy turrets I think of AMX50B. Leopard. CS63, 50/51, prog65. A turret that offers very little resistance to AP, even vs tier 8 AP.  This isn't CW, where every attack Maus is to expect, is 330-350mm HEAT, or 325 APCR. Because Maus isn't a CW tank. Many of its pub enemies will still be using APCR pen like IS7, or HEAT pen like Kran, 50/51, ST II. And a whole heck tonne of standard.

DeviouslyCursed:  All I heard was "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" What's the matter, baddie? Did the game show you that you weren't as good as you thought you were?

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah, you just summed up why humans get so much screwed up in their heads. They try to use these "spider sense" things and get it wrong. It's why people have lucky socks, dude. You can act as enlightened and holier than thou all you want. Whether you like it or not, statistics and numbers are real, they work, and they are far more reliable than your impressions. They are the reason you have a computer and are posting on the internet. The scientific method absolutely destroyed your position, and the positions of people like you. It's why technology took off. People no longer had to waste their time debating and trying to 'convince' others of what was real. You have an idea? Present your data. If you can't; go away. Meanwhile the fools with "hunches" were wondering why the rest of the scientific community moved on without them.  

Einzelganger7: Well, I only use German tanks and I can say I am quite happy with their current state, of course I'd love to see alpha changes on all tanks that use the guns who got buffed on the E-50 Ausf. M and E-100 branches but even if they are still the same, they perform well or even better than they used to thanks to the HE changes (no more 260+/- damage per shot by getting HE spammed on the turret while driving the VK 100.01 P).
