Draschel:  Position is what you use to get things. Position is used to acquire assistance and caused damage, as well as partially protect you from sustaining damage. Position isn't used, for say, 'position'. This is meaningless remark. Position is the place, to which you are heavily advantaged, your opponents disadvantaged, to which you get the good stuff. blocked, caused, assisted - Etc.  Tomato gg shows us currently, LIS doing better than AP in damage, Kpg, WN8 over the last 60d. I think AP is getting more assisted 

churchill50:  Same.It's fun, but not a tank I play too often because I always want to be performing at my best when I play it.

Draschel:  Your AMBT, T44100, LIS, and AP AMX30 have too few games, where their stats will sway wildly every battle. Your RAAC, T-34-3, 274A, 122TM have lots of games, where their stats depict better a picture. And they bounce more. Interesting to see you deal almost 250 DPG and 150 assist more in T44100 over the AP AMX30. And have played more. We are all allowed opinions, you, me, the next guy. From what I understand though, T8 med benchmark is 2k damage. You seem not to be squeezing the potential out of these tanks to see the true story.

Draschel:  Before believing into these things, support them by fact?His armor use efficiency is higher on 122TM, Type 59, 274A, RAACIsn't this the definition of practice? It actually working when deployed.

Draschel: while it may have been done, it isn't done anymore. 

Draschel: every single of your 1224 posts have been rubbish.  truly though, let me guess. Banned from the forums. Created an alt.  

1LT_Dwayne: Like having two paper td's on your team vs two at8 on prokhorovka?

Draschel:  Just saying that wins can be received, WITHOUT a contribution from you, me, he, she. I am not saying what an individual may do, does not contribute to wins. But what someone may do, doesn't necessarily result in the win.And on the contrary, the things done and results pulled in during battle, ARE ENTIRELY based off of what you do. There are no freebies. You need to work for it. The extreme rare cases of experience pulled in for free happen extremely seldom, such as awarded drownings, crushes, AFKs, Etc. But just about any joe can pick up wins regularly for doing nothing. 50% is simple.If 'stat pads' were so easy, everyone would do them. Does everyone do them? By stat pad I mean nothing below tier 8.  It lacks more than DPM. The gun handling has to deal with horrid turret rotation bloom, that is atrocious compared to tanks like LIS, progetto, T44100, Lorraine has the same gun with an auto, and has half the bloom. Couple that with not so pleasant aim time? The turret is slow too, making it seem like a rotating heavy, uninspiring view range. The 'turret armor' if people call it that, is unreliable even against 160 pen from T20. Camo is lower than what it should be. The tank is Meh. These ''Chai snipers'' you talk about, that play better and win more, think its decent but nothing special. It isn't just because of DPM. What do Chai snipers think of Panther 88? STA1? Best mediums in tier 8 because of DPM? You really think that? I wouldn't put it B, but wouldn't place it C. Better than average, not above average. I guess its a B then.   

1LT_Dwayne: Yes because how many battles takes longer because of 7 td's on each side?

Draschel: Tier 9 and AP AMX30 are somewhat different.They do the same roles, but AP trades an extreme, in the form of ultimate gun depression for alotAMX30 proto doesn't have that gun depression, but is more well rounded with better gun handling, mobility, DPM 

churchill50: They just did, at the start of the last Ranked season:https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/missions/ranked-battles-2021-2022-season-2/ Unless you mean brand new tanks that have never been offered before. In which case I doubt it. They seem more interested in offering stuff like that for Bonds in the Ranked shop, not the Bond Shop.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Whilst streaming last night I found that the tier VIII M-III-Y has two guns that you can pick from. They are pictured below: While the 105mm offers a bigger chance for damage the 90mm has an overall Damage per minute advantage.  Are there any tanks that you players have found yourself in this same situation? Did you save yourself the XP in researching it or did you do it just to complete the tree?

Jaguarz: Thats crazy, its in store for more than actual good tanks.

Draschel: but I don't accuse people of being an alt? You are. In an alt. Do you understand what is going on? Its like you should be broadcast on Dr Phil. 

Draschel:  well, the armor is fine actually wherever it is. The problems are its klunkiness when used outside its habitual situations.no gun depression makes it tricky. The derpness of the gun makes it tricky. Horrific terrain resistances turn it into a snail outside of hard surfaces

Jaguarz:  Right? I mean how could they find the time to mess with him when they are so busy writing specific algorithms to effect MM, dispersion and the like to screw me over personally!!!

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Battle mode: Standard BattleSize: 1,100 x 1,100 mLocation: Western EuropeSetting: Summer 1. Main clash area for well-armored vehicles. A large number of positions to repel enemy attacks. These positions are at different distances, giving a choice of the most convenient firing point.2. An area for a risky maneuver to outflank enemy heavy tanks.3. Main clash area for medium and light tanks. Many bushes are scattered about the area. The area is good for vehicles with solid turrets, and guns that feature good depression angles.4. Spots to control enemy maneuvers on the map and to repel rapid flank breakthroughs.5. Positions for a stealthy retreat. Space for concealed maneuvers during the late stages of the battle. 

Draschel:  Was not me that said it.''results are what count'' anyone on a team of 14 others, can win. Win isn't necessarily dependent on what you accomplish in-gameEVERYONE, on a team of 15, HAS to work for their results. Its entirely dependent on what you accomplish. Results > Wins. Wins are but one part of results.  

Draschel: because doing the same thing of playing 20 battles, means you should accuse others of the same thing. You are funny. By funny, I mean of course what you define funny as, with that last bit.you haven't played the tank at all, you never competed in ranked, don't have what it takes to compete. You have 24 battles, that is the attitude you want.

1LT_Dwayne: With the situation we're in here I'm not surprised that a lot of people feel alone and when they have a bad day they come on the forum just to ventilate. They don't even come back and read what other said. It's certainly not the best method but I get it. I've done it myself. Now take a break, take a deep breath and have a great day. 

Draschel: its laughable people say this thing has turret armor. It has turret armor in a centered spot, thats it. Like Pershing or STAover 50% of the rest of front turret not corner ricochet angle, is ridiculous shiny lime green penetrator marker to even T20  160mm AP Try penetrating Mod1, LIS, T44100, Type 59 in combat situations into the front turret with even 200 pen......yeah, no. 

Draschel:  Single shot medium tanks, need something outstanding. When we look at the best single shot mediums, such as 274A and LIS, where do we start. 1a  Lets start with alpha.They have high alpha damage, considerably over the generic 240 seen in T8. So does AP AMX30. So to start, +1 b  Continuing on in firepower, DPM.Bad, very bad. In fact, so bad many auto loader tanks, have clip potential AND  DPM, over AP AMX30. This is extremely bad. LIS, 274A, STA1, 416, Panther 88, Lansen - such tanks have extraordinary surplus of DPM over AP. This is bad.  c   pen performance.263 Pen is alright, good to have. But is 263 pen much different than 259 of things like progetto or RAAC or indien panzer?  How about new release tanks which are getting loads of pen, like 122TM, T1LPC, AMBT? d  Firepower using gun depression.Great, among top bracket of gun depression in tier.  d  Gun handling. Shell velocity is nice, accuracy nice, movement/traverse dispersion nice.Aim-time, turret dispersion, bad. Mixed bag. 2a  Most important protection, camo.Sort of mediocre? I mean, look at its size. Comparable in size to tanks like RH07, Lansen, Mutz, AMBT. Whats with the camo?  b  Armor is poor except a few spaced armor magic zones or ricochet angle hull in situations. Bad over match side armor. Lacks utility of protected mediums like T44100, Mod1, LIS, Type 59. You are liable in being derped in the side by bloody VK2801, but not in things like LIS c  Compounding the poor armor, bad HP to boot. 3a   Misc.Mediocre view range with no radioman. Mediocre gun elevation, mediocre turret rotation. Mediocre terrain resistances.  ..........so what you said, is ''i like this tank. Because it feels good, and I win''Nice. I'm sure the most important person you've only to convince, is you. 1 question, have you played the tank?

Draschel:  Curious. Speak for yourself.You are what you accuse others of. Nice.

Draschel: Before I say anything, what and why do you think so highly of it? Lets scale:S-Super (LIS, Bourrat, Progetto) A-Awesome (274A, T44100, AMBT, Pantera) B- bov average (T1LPC, RAAC, Udes14, Lansen, RH07) C- center of the pack (Panther 88, T-34-3, Skoda 27, 122TM, M46KR)F- a fail (M48A Rpz, T25 Pilot, AMXCDC, VTU) where would you place AP AMX30? 

Draschel: Think it is quite meh. Certainly not bad, but I do not know if its good. A  meh  med.  

Jaguarz: Play Pz7, find a choke point, poke out properly angled nose, go get a coffee

Jaguarz: It would certainly fit the tank thematically but then again it would also fit the 279e, both tanks would need nerfing to gain the function.

Draschel: It does not matter. Not only did you do it, a witness pointed it out you doing it first, it wasn't even me. SOMEONE ELSE, said it. Don't insult people's personal lives without nothing pertaining to the game at all, in an attempt to even out a debate. It wasn't even ME, first pointing it out.   

Draschel: it needs a position suited for it. Alot of super heavy tanks, the same thing. In these positions, it excels and very few other tanks do as well as it does in them. However, when it leaves these positions it starts to have some real problems. This makes it, defines it as situational. it needs the right situation to work well, and the driver needs to understand this. If not understood, the tank will perform poorly. 

Draschel:  You are the definition of toxic, right here. You have me on ignore, why even bother then posting here? Furthermore, you are guilty of the same acts condemned in this original post. You were ousted in a conversation, and you choose to then insult people with personal, life attacks to which you know ZERO about. Do you really know what this is defined as? It is ignorance. It is prejudice in its own right. You know absolutely zero of the person's individual being outside of this game. Incredibly toxic, defeatist, cowardly - why bother posting here at all? No one forced you to, told you to.  I don't have to deal with anyone. The individual opened a chat box with me. I have chat off, and un-friends list PMs disabled. He circumvented it and PMed me manually through service record private msg. But as usual, you like typing but not reading.  My take on this is, if you have me on ignore...... Ignore me? Why bother to spew this out. Just ignore me?Continue on being the person you are. If people are better than you, sure insult their LIFE. Because you have nothing better to say. Sure, cheap shots are fine. You have little else you can do. You might want to work on that tude of yours, yourself. 

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Over the years there have been game modes put in the game that some find horrendous, and some that most players enjoy.  I wasn't around when the beloved 8 bit Karl tank was here for April fools, but I hear great things and wish I was part of the fun.  Out of 10, what would you rate our game modes so far? The Game modes I am referring to are: 
 8-bit Karl! Soccer mode Frontline Homefront Rampage Chaffee Races Race mode 2.0 Steel Hunter Waffentrager Leviathan Dark Front Any others I am forgetting?   

Jaguarz:  People said the same about the 268/5, another balanced tank.

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!  The common test is back! Try out some changes to new maps and see what Ranked Battles will look like in the 2021-2022 season! More information on these changes can be found HERE.

churchill50: You can. Proxy spotting is at 50m horizontally. Vertical distance doesn't matter. So no matter how far above or below you another tank is, if they're within 50m horizontally they'll proxy spot you. You can see that in action on Safe Haven when people are on top of the main building. EDIT: I mistook this for a question, not the request for a game change that it is.

1LT_Dwayne: One thing I noticed is the amount of players that enter a battle afk. Of course it's not that high but one every 2-3 battles is still annoying. Any reasons why after a certain time you're afk in battle you're not kicked out?

Jaguarz: 3 tanks which already had 3d styles available to them, seems to me that they could have covered some which had none yet.

KRZYBooP:  At this time it is only the US and CA service members verified with ID.me 

KRZYBooP:  Not sure if Blitz has their own program as they are separate from us.  

Jaguarz: Currently, as annoying as it is, it is cheaper to buy a whole new pre built PC than to scrape together upgrade parts

KRZYBooP:  For me, everyone is a high-ranking clan member so I have to plan accordingly. Some pushing is accidental, if it is obvious that it's not then you can share that replay with our support team for physics abuse.
