Draschel:  By the way, as I said with canuck earlier, that tab just removes clan invitations when on the inside, for events currently being run. That being simply, you are in a clan to begin with, and clan invites are sent out to clan members, about an event getting pieced together. It does nothing for people not in a clan, getting spammed with clan invitations. It is an alt account, not a re-roll. No intention to continue playing it. An experiment to try out only free to play, and screwing around on SA.  

Draschel: He is right.  Delusions aside,I do think gold ammunition re-balance can be done. But only hand-in-hand with heavy armored vehicle weakspot implementation.  

Draschel:  

Draschel:  Really? I thought it was hilarious, and extremely genuine. Can't get more honest than that. 

Draschel: whining got encounter, assault, grand battles - as optional choices.whining has got artillery nerfed, near countless timeswhining has removed battle enemy team chatwhining has removed Type 5 and Maus from Metawhining got bobject, 430U nerfedwhining has removed clan notification of eventswhining removed battle platoon inviteswhining removed unsanctioned friend requestswhining has brought us from -4/+4 to what we got nowwhining has had us finally receive anonymizer, over target markers, artillery cam It would seem, regardless if WG is slow to it, whining tends to produce results.  

TeriyakiTanker:
+1 for answering but damn that’s been a while.  Hoping maybe for their anniversary we get something.

TeriyakiTanker:
Actually wouldn’t mind that at all.

Draschel:  oh the irony. At the time I was writing this thread, I got a clan invite. Cracks me up. Sorry, not clan event notifications. I mean clan invitations to entry, to a person.  

Draschel:  Artillery should have compounded fines, just like as applied to damage percent, for team stun time.  

Draschel: I'd like to have an option finally, for no invitations. I mean, we have it for friend requests, platooning, PM chat and text. Why can't we have it for clan invitations too.I'd like to keep my notifications free, for useful things like battle coupons, Etc. Not have to scroll through 40 useless can invites to find it. Before anyone decides to troll, remember that it exists for platoons, friend requests, and PM. So there are people out there, that don't want any sort of invitation (spam) It is an easy fix. Right in settings under do not accept any of the things described above, put another. No unsolicited clan invitations.  

Draschel: Unfortunately, no. The aim-time doesn't. Many things have excellent aim-times, but are totally let down by dispersion stats. But most things with exceptional dispersion, despite a lower accuracy and aim-time genuinely have reputation of good gun handling. We call this the 430U and IS7 syndrome. That is why AMX CDA is generally better than it, though it is too good either.  T92 has the unique property, of rocking back and forth. Which not only influences aiming, but driving too. That along with it's lower top speed, nearly 10%. That is like a free supercharger. It balances out the track traverse and terrain types.I am not saying it has to spam premium rounds, and definitely superior normalization with 189 pen is better than less normalization and 175 - but that any self respecting driver does that. At least in random battle, if you are in SH or FL, I guess AP can work more commonly. Also, any self respecting person not being able to use 1, 020m/s is also seemingly very suspect indeed. I'd compare Senlac to WZ132 or HK30, before comparing it to the bottom of the barrel like T92 and Elc. Being 3 tonnes heavier and having 50 HP means you resist ramming far more too.   

Einzelganger7:   I still think that should be a radio operator skill instead of a commander's skill. Let's hope they move it on the last iteration, commanders are already with a lot of essential skills while the radio operator only has one (situational awareness) and the rest are meh.

TeriyakiTanker:
That’s an interesting question, I wonder if the Kanonenjagdpanzer 90 is still counted.

Draschel:  kanonen panzer 105 has good aim-time and accuracy, but like the grille 15 or skorpion it has horrible dispersion stats. Which means it either wastes a slot on rotation mech or has to wait for bloom. This is what bad gun handling is all about. People don't complain about Grille accuracy. Because when it dials in and fires after, it is accurate. People complain about the horrendous gun handling, because it basically is like self propelled gun, that if it moves the dispersion blooms horrific. Keep in mind vehicles that suffer from this phenomenon like Hellcat, M56, Skorpion, Grille also have turrets - which mean they do not commonly need to move their tracks, so they combat bloom that way. Or fit rotation mechanism anyway just to have a faster traversing turret as a TD anyway. Let's look at TS5 too, bad .44 accuracy right? Well it does, shooting shots at 500m trying to hit LFP. But everyone says it has great gun handling, because of excellent aim-time + dispersion stats.  The mobility difference between senlac and T92 is laughable, if any. If any, it is an advantage for the senlac due to top speed, and because it does not rock like a boat in rough waters. Senlac engine is also in the front, but I find not only it gets damaged less, but also just from LFP hits sustained, while T92 gets its engine wrecked every frontal hit sustained, either glacis or LFP. Because it has such a small front cross section. Senlac muzzle velocity is better too, because you would (and should) be firing APCR as main rounds anyway, and you have powerful HE like EBR. You can keep 2 or 3 AP for destroying obstacles, or to fire off in the air at the beginning of battle if you play in EU and meet Skill4ltu at spawn.  

TeriyakiTanker: Mostly no, just look at these forums and you can see that everyone has a different opinion and a lot, if not most, are biased towards their own wants and desires.  At most they could consider asking a small group of players to test things ahead of time but considering that’s the purpose of the Sandbox I’m not even sure that’s necessary.

TeriyakiTanker: Dude you have 10 games in your Lowe and 3 in the ELC....... you might want to play them a little more before you decide they are cursed!

TeriyakiTanker: This game is not a simple shooter, a lot of the skill lies in putting yourself in situations where bad RNG doesn't ruin your chance to effect the outcome of the game.  And yes sometimes RNG still screws you over. If the situation you described is actually true it sounds like you might be playing on a crappy computer with a bad internet connection, that can really be a problem.

Draschel:  Well, I am a fair man. And to be fair, he does post 54% WR and 8 ,300 PR. 19 tier X, with 13 of them over 2.1K damage, basically more than their HP per game in contribution.Now, I am not going to begin to debate whether or not that means a whole lot, but these are not bad numbers. Satire, ridiculousness, and comedy. Those are what is in the pot for Claus. And people love him. I guess I sort of mix content creators with community contributors. My mistake. Guido's a bore, don't recommend him, Panzerkind? He's gone. taugrim doesn't do much of anything anymore, a shame as he was quite descriptive. Supernova can be hard to listen to, anger issues. I do like sahmlockart, closest thing to a Dez we got on NA. Truvoodoo and lemmingrush are great, are who I spend my time watching, at least for NA. Really, for content, you want to be tuning into EU. That is the way it is.    

Draschel:

Draschel: I meant kanonen 90. And kanonen panzer 105 has more downsides than just maps. Awful DPM with mediocre alpha, gets pen by HE, bad gun handling. It needs leo PTA gun buff.  MTV is terrible too, but I don't know which one is worse. I'd rather play HK than T92, at least you can scare things with 240 alpha and do 1-track shots, have 250 HEAT, and can go 65. Senlac is clearly the best british light tank, and quite a step above T92 and it's crappy company at the bottom. 

Draschel: Senlac, M41D, ISU130 look nice if those buffs are what they are. And I also think they are healthy, not too much, not too little, not game altering. T92 though remains complete trash. The buffs are minimal at best. And for the life of me, can't understand as to why. Out of STA2, T-34-3, Suka Pershing, STG, M41D, ISU130, Senlac - T92 definitely sucks the most and is for some reason getting the least. Aren't fixing it's *boat* behavior and physics, it's tendency to bobble. Aren't fixing engine health, which gets damaged frontally just about every hit taken. Aren't fixing DPM or alpha to 170 it deserves like M41....instead of the useless 150 tier 7s have. No top speed improvement, not only the worst tier 8 light but also the slowest. You aren't even getting the view range buffs M41 and Senlac are receiving......what?But don't worry, you will (I will too) be getting 10 APCR and 20 HEAT pen, to which they'll help me more when fighting something dumb like Type 59 or chimera, my 175 APCR won't reliably pen. The 1% of the time that is the situation we find ourselves in. Nice buffs.  Funny how war gaming sees fit to buff ISU130 in (relative) short order after making it public, while still having Kanonen panzer remain trash.   RUSHA!  

Einzelganger7: Ironically nowadays I love tier 5, 6, 7 and 9. Tier 8 and 10 are kind of annoying since those are the locations of overpowered or annoying vehicles (EBR, Progetto, Borat, Chieftain, 279E, etc), meanwhile the tiers I like (5, 6, 7, 9) are more balanced and are able to fight against higher tiers in most cases.

Einzelganger7: I actually think Tiger II is better than the Löwe, at least for me (I can't stand the low DPM of the Löwe). As for the rentals, they are just options given to use in case you like their playstyle, if you do then buy it. They are not meant as limited time seal clubber vehicles.

Einzelganger7: Yes, it is a visual bug so do not worry. Though, have in mind that the better your dispersion, the higher chance your shot deviates.It shouldn't be like that but it is how it seems to work nowadays, for example my Leopard PT A has .27 dispersion and still I get BS like this all the time. https://imgur.com/UFhDRnt 

TeriyakiTanker:
When was the last time it was updated?

TeriyakiTanker:
Lol.... you are dumb.

TeriyakiTanker: Yes, if I could magically wave a wand and get that done I would.  But like I said, WG will never do anything at all in regards to what either I or the OP want...... mostly because neither one is a particularly good idea.

TeriyakiTanker:
No I doubt WG will do anything at all with regards to this issue.

Draschel:  Claus has a gigantic following. His verbose, down to earth, direct attitude and personality, is comical to many. Casual people like having fun, and having a laugh. Claus appeals to the common man, and gives them every opportunity to vent on many things, like Soviet Bias, RNG, matchmaker, Etc. While the messages and berating may not be in WG NA best interests, his gigantic following and publicity is. In addition, while not the greatest for sure, Claus more or less knows how to drive a tank forward, the front first. The guy knows his left hand from his right. Statistically, he is no worse than Jingles, which has gone on for how long? Claus is even better. I wouldn't compare wasp with Claus. Claus has been a mainstay CC for years, and I would certainly listen and watch content from Claus over someone like warchild or themystic. At least it would be funny. 

Draschel:  

Draschel:  It is all right here. First get oriented with the flaws, there are many. And know your strengths, there are few. But there are some, use them, squeezing them like a lemon for every drop. You generally want to play closer to the action. You have 1,500 HP available, generally 30-50% more than most other tier 8 TD, and actually close to many tier 8 heavy tanks. You have a decently wide front arc of 15'/'15 You can turn off prokhorovka and malinovka with a premium account, as ferdinand despite being a TD hates open arta and light tank based maps. You want to bully tier 6s, while play in tandem with tier 10s. Seeing its potential, there is some, just not a whole lot. You want to grasp every opportunity, to trade 490 damage vs something like 230-400, typical tank ranges tier 8. Pay for APCR, as Ferdi still does have Maus gun  In addition, try to make use of clan skirmishes or frontlines (when it returns) to ease the suffering. All tier 8s are not nearly as problematic as 9+10.        

TeriyakiTanker:
No I’m not ok playing with or against people like you.  The real fix is not to allow anyone with less than a 47% win rate and over 5000 games to move past Tier III.  Solves my problem and yours.

churchill50:  Exactly what I was thinking. The T92's pen is not its issue.I would suggest some combination of buffing the DPM, top speed, and traverse speed. All could use some help, and would really do a lot for the tank.These small pen buffs aren't going to do much of anything to improve the experience driving this tank...

MA77: Saudações. Identificamos um erro na configuração dos horários das Batalhas Ranqueadas no servidor SA que agora está corrigido (desde ontem, o cessar-fogo começou às 22:00 BRT, em vez do horário originalmente planejado e anunciado para 00:00 BRT). Além disso, iremos prolongar a duração do modo no servidor por mais uma hora, de forma a que passe a terminar todos os dias às 01:00 BRT. Pedimos desculpas por qualquer inconveniente. Grande abraço! 

Einzelganger7:   That is a nice plot, and I think it would be nice if the enemies of said mode would be tanks with organic/mechanical mutations that would remind to Shoggoths from At the Mountains of Madness and the alien creature from The Thing since both are about polar expeditions. They could even make a Kurt Russell commander as reward with the role of MacReady (they recently released a Snake Plissken commander for the console version so another collaboration from Kurt could be possible).
 

TeriyakiTanker: Just check the crew training box, pop a +300% crew booster and enjoy the free training while you grind credits.

TeriyakiTanker: Just not sure why you would actually want that few bonds for that much money!

MA77: ¡Comandantes! Hemos identificado un error en la configuración de los horarios para las Batallas Clasificatorias en el servidor SA que está ahora corregido (hasta ayer, el cese del fuego comenzaba a partir de las 18:00 PT | 20:00 CT | 21:00 ET, en lugar de a la hora originalmente planeada y anunciada de las 20:00 PT | 22:00 CT | 23:00 ET). Además de eso, extenderemos por una hora más la duración del modo en el servidor, de modo que ahora concluirá todos los días a las 21:00 PT | 23:00 CT | 00:00 ET. Nos disculpamos por los inconvenientes ocasionados. ¡Saludos!

TeriyakiTanker:
You can stop bending over backwards at any point now.  The Death Star, 215b, and Foch 155 were all removed from the tech tree well before the collectors tanks were introduced and are now classified as reward tanks.  Your feelings about that don’t matter, it is what happened, and that is why they have been offered in the Black Market, which by the way never has vehicles in the tech tree or collector tanks.  Not sure why this is so hard for you to understand.
