Lert:  

Lert:   With the info on the gun and shell it fired, a tier 3 or 4 would be far more likely with ~50 pen.

Lert:   Actually, I was very, very wrong. It has been pointed out to me that the guns on the Even 30 are HS825's, which fired 30x136, while the Mk103 fired 30x184B. This suggests that the MK103 is a much higher penetrating gun than the 30's on the Even 30.     (Shells to scale using MSPaint magicks)   I do apologize for perpetuating wrong info, and will amend earlier posts.  

Lert:   Duly noted. Thanks for correcting me.  

Lert:   In-game ELC AMX is based on the ELC Bis hull, which is a redesign of Even's hull, with front drive instead of rear. Maybe with alternate hulls, though?

Lert: Read.

Lert:   Much higher. It has high-velocity AA cannons.   See below.

Lert:   These are longbarreled AA 30's, meaning very likely much higher muzzle velocity thus much higher pen than 95. I honestly don't have any numbers though, this is all just conjecture.   See below.

Lert:   This little beauty is called ELC Even 30 from what I can find.   What it is is twin 30mm autocannons on a chassis made by ELC. It doesn't look particularly heavy or big, and we all know one other product by ELC and how mobile it is ... This little devil historically is 5 tons and has a 75 kph top speed.   WG has already demonstrated a willingness and capability to design and code a vehicle with twin cannons firing at the same time, the MTLS. Maybe they will consider this too? It could be a fun mid/high tier premium scout?   Can WG literally even?

Lert: CdC is the best looking one by far. It's one sexy beast. That's the one I'll be watching for.  

Lert: - You won't get a free FV4202, you'll likely either have to earn it in a difficult mission, or buy it - 9.5 isn't when the change happens

dance210:   Wait...I'm slightly confused. Do you want something done about teams showing up short-handing during the Group Stage? Or during the Playoffs? (Or, both I suppose).

dance210:   Just to go along with what stormcrowe said, you can now find the dates here.

dance210:   That is correct.   And, as additional clarification since I don't know if it was added anywhere, any premium time earned will be given out on a Friday.

Lert:   There is no such thing as a 'havok engine'. At most it's a plugin for WG's own engine, but the basic gameplay engine that WoT runs on will remain what it is now. Havok is just an add-on for physics.    

Lert:   More in-depth explanation about what overmatch is in here.

Lert:   Yes, because +50% crew XP, credit bonus, cheaper repair and the ability to train any american medium crew without retraining them for the tank is 'zero advantage' ...

Lert:   I don't know, it doesn't get much better than Bill F'ing Murray giving the camera look like he thinks what he just heard / read is the stupidest thing ever ...

Lert:   All the answers have already been posted! Repeatedly!   AP, APCR and HEAT have the same chance to do module damage, after penetrating armor. HE and HESH have an increased chance to do module damage after penetrating armor, and can damage modules even on a non-penetrating hit.   Damaging a module with AP, APCR or HEAT is 75% shot placement, 25% luck and 0% shell choice. Damaging a module with HE or HESH is 60% shot placement, 40% luck and 0% shell choice.   That is literally all there is to it. There are no big secrets that you're missing, there are no secret unicum shells of module damaging +2, there is no conspiracy to which everyone is privy but you. That is all there is to know, the answers are all up there!   What more do you need?!

Yoott:   If you put together a team that can beat all the rest in the qualifiers then yes

dance210:   Thank you! You're right, battles are starting on December 8th (Monday) not on Dec. 9th (which is a Tuesday).   The first round starts at 6:30 pm PST. The second round should begin at 7:33 pm PST, similar to when it has in past seasons.   And your English is just fine!

Lert: No, it's not worth $30. It's worth $15.   That's why it's a good thing the $30 bundle comes with $15 worth of gold.   For the rest, read my short first-impressions thread.

Lert:   Varies too wildly to make grossly simplified observations on. Yeah in general APCR will be faster than AP and AP will be faster than HE, but how much varies with each gun.

Lert:   That is all described, elaborated upon and answered in my guide.  

Lert:   I don't know how much more clear than that I can explain it to you. If you still don't get it, I don't know what I can do to bring the information across.    

Lert:   Try the 'quote' button underneath every forum post? Just a thought ...

The_Chieftain: What has damage ratio got to do with anything? How many times was he on the winning team? I submit that that's the only relevant statistic.

The_Chieftain:     I am unsure that XVM is as much at fault as is being stated. If anyone has any empirical evidence which rises beyond the level of confirmation bias, I'm going to be curious to see it.     Even if XVM is the cause, which I doubt, I fail to see why people in arty are more likely to engage a particular calibre of player than a person in a TD or heavy tank.     Personally, I am sure I have killed high-skill players in my artillery. I can't prove it, as I don't believe XVM tells me anything useful so I don't use it. However, I do note that certain types of player tend to be in certain physical locations on the map. Usually certain confined areas on the map, within close proximity of hard cover. Which means that once I've driven my arty around a bit, I can afford to wait for the aiming circle to shrink, and I get an easy kill.   As an arty, I prioritise targets on two basis. How easy it is to hit comes first, as I can't damage anything if I can't hit it. That thus means that I have a preference for stationary, or predictable, targets. Then how much payoff there is for hitting that target, if there is more than one I can hit. This is based on type of target, and position of target vs my own team. This means that my preferred target is usually something big, something tough, and something holding our advance in a position behind hard cover. If that is you, well, I see it as my function to hit you. If that is typical of a particular type of player (eg of a certain skill level), maybe a re-evaluation of your vulnerability is in order.      

The_Chieftain: It would seem to me that with the rich vocabulary available to speakers of the Englush language, it does not speak well of those who feel unable to express themselves without resorting to pejorative metaphor. As a proponent of mature conversation, I discourage the term. It is inherently polarizing and achieves nothing good, even if many people touched by cancer don't take particular exception to its use.

The_Chieftain: *checks win rate on his E5*  

If you really want me to boost it above the current 61%, go ahead and advocate the buff. Personally, I think no other Tier X has it's blend of flexibility and effectiveness. It's a very dangerous tank

The_Chieftain:   This.

The_Chieftain: I've been through the project control files, they literally are control files. How is the budget being allocated? Which department is responsible for which section of the project? What are the shipping records for the ammunition supply?   Don't get too excited about all these plans. I've checked them out as well. One or two of them were good. I put the photo of some of the T30 plans on my FB feed a couple of weeks ago. However, it was overall a massive disappointment. Most of it was not relevant. (The "tank on 25 ton chassis" for example turned out to be a large water or fuel tank on a tracked chassis) Much of the little that was relevant was too big to scan.  

Lert: Which is the better metal remix of the creepy and nostalgiatastic original Tristram Theme from Diablo, Charlie Parra's or Artificial Fear's?   Original:   Charlie Parra del Riego:   Artificial Fear:   Stay a while, and discuss.

Lert: Read this.   Ninja'd with my own link

Yoott:   Yes all qualifier battles will be done before the next level one starts. So make sure to register for all the ones you wish to try for. If you qualify we will remove your team from the other ones.   Also if your team is already in a league and you qualify for a higher one we know it and we will just fill your spot in the lower league through their qualifiers.    I am excited as well for this new format. I think it should be very exciting and I am super curious to see the new strats used (especially at the beginning) and also the new tank lineups.

Lert: His whole performance IMO lifted what might've been 'just' a decent movie to greatness.

Lert: "What we do in life echoes in eternity."   "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
