TeriyakiTanker:
My quick answer is that I haven’t really played my 25t in a long time, like really in almost two years so part of it is that I have improved and my second guess would be that for me playing at Tier IX is easier for me than playing at Tier X.  That’s just my thoughts, if you look at the high tier tanks I have played in a lot recently, Leopard PTA and the M60 I am running a around a 60% win rate in them as a solo pub guy, so I have gotten a little better at high tier play, which is inline with my char futur win rate.  It is a nice tank but I still give the mid to the 25t.

TeriyakiTanker: You should post a replay.  Is it possible the shell bounced?  What vehicle were you in and what gun did you have on it?  I ask because I bounced an HE shell the other day from an arty and it shows me the blocked damage, so just wondering if it’s showing you the blocked damage.

TeriyakiTanker: Looks like the answer is no one knows.  Maybe I will make a new account and test it out.

LargeForeignObject: The alternate registration for the Season 14 playoffs is now closed.Since we are missing 3 clans from the main registration, we will be replacing them with 3 clans from the alternate.I'm asking the captains of following clans to contact me on Discord (If you're having trouble finding me, try joining the official WoT NA channel and look among the WG NA Staff users):42. [ROCKY] Rocky Mountain High43. [VILIN] Villain46. [BOND] The Bond's 

TeriyakiTanker:
if the $12 is trivial another $12 for some gold to get your crew to 100% is certainly the fastest way.  You could also get some premium time to go with the excelsior which might be a better bang for your buck.

TeriyakiTanker:
ehhhh, to each their own but for me it’s not even close to being better than the 25t.  I find the 4 second intra shell reload super awkward.

TeriyakiTanker: Wow, I was going to congratulate you but I think condolences are more in order.  That sucks.

TeriyakiTanker: Look you can talk all you want but your stats are all derived from one single Tier V tank.  That tank happens to be one of the most OP tanks tier for tier in the game.  No one is going to listen to what you have to say and with good reason, you are a classic stat padder who beats up on baddies and new players.  You are never going to get respect with that resume.  And this is coming from someone who loved the T67, I put three crews through it and it is the tank I have played the most games in still to this day.  But lets not pretend like you are doing something amazing, because you aren't and neither did I!

TeriyakiTanker: No, you are not.  This has been a snooze fest so far.

Einzelganger7: Well, at least it doesn't have a turret.

Einzelganger7: By reading the title I just want to say that the "Brummbär" is a nickname given by the Allies and "Stupa" by the German, the actual name is Sturmpanzer IV so the Sturmtiger is a completely different vehicle. The first had a 150mm cannon and the chassis of a Panzer IV while the second had a 380mm raketenwerfer (rocket thrower) and as the name suggests, it has the chassis of a Tiger I.

TeriyakiTanker:
I’m not defending the company at all.  I am telling you that it isn’t going to change so you should move on.  And I have over 500 tanks in my garage so I know a bit about grinding tanks.

TeriyakiTanker: Ok, that makes sense.  I knew they didn't suicide but was wondering what happened.  Thanks and +1.

TeriyakiTanker: ISU-152 on opposing team did 2.1k damage, top on his team, but got no exp.  Does anyone know why this would happen?  

TeriyakiTanker: The problem with you is that you just want to make excuses, the only way to make credits is to grind.  If that isn't your thing your only options are to either go without the tanks you want to but or play another game.  Either way good luck and hopefully you find something better suited for you.

TeriyakiTanker: Tier VIII premium tank, premium account, and silver booster.  

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Fresh on my lot of amazing deals is some light and heavy class tanks. This sale runs from today (19Jun) until 30Jun.  First up are the FV1066 Senlac and the AMX 13 57  This tank is priced starting at 30.99. Pricing for this tank starts at 24.99. Next up is the heavy twins, WZ-111 and WZ-111 Alpine Tiger.  Pricing for these tanks individually starts at 53.99. If you are looking for the deal of a lifetime. You can have both Heavies for 69.99. If you are looking for another deal of a lifetime. You can have both Lights for 39.99. Yes, I have lost my mind from talking to only my cat for 4 months.  More information on this deal can be found HERE. Enjoy any lapse in my judgement .      

KRZYBooP:  There is no news on this. The plan was to try and rebalance the tank so that it wouldn't be able to destroy a tank in one clip, but then it wouldn't feel like a Waffle.  A catch 22 if there ever was one. Dev talks in the past haven't indicated that they are still looking to rebalance this one sadly. Take solace in the fact that the only tank to be banned is from Germany.  GERMANY IS OP! 

KRZYBooP:   Some helpful information about spotting.  More helpful information videos can be found HERE. 

TeriyakiTanker: Well if you refuse to do it that is on you....... The game design isn't going to change to make the economy any easier, so you have two options if you don't want to spend money.  Doesn't matter if you it or not, it is just the way it is.   You need to grind your Tier VIII and VII premiums until you have the 120 million you want.  The more damage and assistance you get the more money you will make.  Right now you don't do that very well so you don't make a lot of credits.  Improve that and you will improve your credit earning potential.  Perhaps join a clan and platoon with some players and that might help.

KRZYBooP:  Working on changing this to require only 6 tokens instead of 12. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

KRZYBooP:  Fixing it! now so you will only need 6 so enjoy! Oh, and yes, math is hard!

TeriyakiTanker: I can easily grind 750k in an hour...... you need to start contributing more.

KRZYBooP:  Yikes! Working on fixing this now thank you! 

TeriyakiTanker: Well you need to start contributing and doing some more damage and assisted.  That is the bottom line. Tier V is the best tier for grinding credits if you dont have premium tanks, you should have won some premium tanks by now so play those .

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! This weekend (19Jun - 22Jun) enjoy a x4 XP bonus for the first win of the day (FWotD) along with some missions that give an emblem and a decal.  They can be seen HERE, or if you don't wanna see the awesome webpage you can see it below.   Highlight to see the beauty.    Good luck and have fun!  

Felipe6666Original:  Ehhhhh... Hay más de un problema con ese mapa, y no tiene tanto que ver con el balance (que, dicho sea de paso, era desastroso)... ¡Saludos!

Felipe6666Original:  No podemos dejar de actualizarlo, es la naturaleza misma de un juego en línea  ¡Saludos!

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys! Earlier this month we revealed the new battle pass season with the chance to earn some new tank styles, and crew. More information on how to earn these can be found HERE. Check out more information about the equipment on these 3D styles and the crew members by clicking HERE.

DomoSapien: Tankers,
The tier 3 scourge of the skies, the Sexton I is back in the Premium Shop for a limited time. For bundle options, please check out the news portal. Offers end in the wee hours of June 28th ( 04:20 PT | 06:20 CT | 06:20 ET)

DomoSapien: Tankers,
Here's a sneak peek at some upcoming changes coming up in the latter 2020 and 2021 Ranked Battles seasons.
We're making some changes to how Bonus Battles work, as well as introducing Daily Battle Missions and additional rewards for Bonds, so that you can earn more prizes while you're playing Ranked Battles.
For more details, head over to the news portal.

DomoSapien: I have yet to see any examples of hacks/illegal mods that somehow manage to modify the serverside data and alter something like a vehicle's reload time, or RNG.

I have seen illegal mods that automatically aim at weakspots, I've seen illegal mods that reveal information about where the enemy is located and aiming, but I have not seen any illegal mods that actually manage to alter the game information being processed by the game servers.

You aren't connecting to other players via a p2p connection; all information about what's happening in-game is received from the server. Your input, etc. is all information that gets sent to the server before it's relayed to other players. 

Obviously, never say never, but in 3 years of working Customer Support and going on 3 years of community management, I've yet to see any mods that are capable of accomplishing something like that. Instead of assuming the other player is hacking, consider sending them a friendly PM along the lines of "Hey, great shooting last game! I was in the T28. I was wondering if you might have the replay file handy by any chance, that was absolutely crazy and I'm trying to figure out what exactly happened."

More often than not, the other player will be friendly and share the replay file with you so you can see what happened. 

TeriyakiTanker: Never mind you just cant help stupid.

KRZYBooP:  I believe it might be update related to your graphics. I ran around in some battles and was unable to recreate the issue. 

KRZYBooP: I need a replay, please.  For business reasons .

Felipe6666Original: ¡Buenas a todos! Si bien todavía no hay fechas definidas, ya tenemos detalles preliminares de las Batallas Clasificatorias para la temporada 2020-2021, que pueden encontrar aquí. Sin lugar a dudas, el punto más relevante de todos será que los vehículos de recompensa y especiales no podrán ser utilizados en el modo. ¡Dejen sus opiniones y recuerden que participar del debate les da una chance de ganarse un estilo especial (más información aquí)! ¡Buena suerte en el campo de batalla! P.D.: Actualizaré este hilo a medida que vayamos sacando más información sobre el comienzo del modo.

The_Chieftain: The German Army in WW2 had historically been more than willing to mount a large gun on an armored, tracked chassis, to use it in a direct fire role. Initially, the Heavy Infantry Gun (s.I.G.33) was used, and especially by the standards of 1940, it proved to have quite the bang. Newsreels showed a single s.I.G.33 on Panzer I chassis demolishing quite efficiently with but a single round a house in France.Other photographs, similarly, show larger vehicles later in the war being used as direct fire artillery.However, these various vehicles were still categorized as artillery, not as assault guns. They did not have the armor of the Sturmgeschutz vehicles, and the Germans knew it. Thus, if you wanted a really big bang, you needed to fire the round from some distance away to do it in safety, alternatively, 7.5cm from the better armored Sturmgeschutz and occasional 105mm from Sturmhaubitze would be available if the vehicle needed to be closer.This was fine for a while, as the battlefield normally allowed for such a combination, but the plan fell a cropper of the fighting in Stalingrad. Big, solid buildings, combined with short lines of fire meant that the Germans needed to have a combination of big armor with a big gun, not one or the other. If it meant that the vehicle was lethargic or had only a short effective range, so be it.It did not take long for the solution to be found. Enter the Sturminfanteriegeschutz 33. Alkett designed it in two days in late September 1942, by basically taking the StuG III hull, s.I.G. 33/1 15cm gun, and designing a rather simple box superstructure. The resulting vehicle was ugly, but it came with 8cm of frontal armor, and a reasonably big round.24 examples were built and issued, whilst work began on a more purpose-designed vehicle. Based, this time, on the Panzer IV chassis, the 15cm gun was mounted in a better protected and more flexible ball mount, giving 15 degrees of traverse as opposed to the 3 degrees on the prior vehicle. The frontal armor was a very hefty 10cm sloped at 38 degrees. In addition, later vehicles came with a ball mount for a machinegun for self defense. After some debate, followed by an arbitrary decision by Hitler, this vehicle was given to the Panzer Arm, and this necessitated a name change to Sturmpanzer. For some reason often termed “Brummbar” today, the Germans actually called it “Stupa”. This vehicle proved quite successful, with just over 300 being built on a combination of new and re-used hulls starting April of 1943.This was, however, still not enough armor and not enough bang!A requirement came out in May of 1943 for something capable of werfing 38cm shells. If it were not for the armored vehicle, the Kriegsmarine’s Raketentauchgranate, rocket propelled diving grenate, would have probably died in complete obscurity. Originally to be used as an anti-submarine depth charge launcher, it simply didn’t have the range or reliability required for the job. As a result, only a few were made, used in land fortifications in Denmark and Norway. It was concluded that however ineffective the system may have been against submarines, it would likely do quite a number on ships, so they were installed in the coastal defense role. Two such weapons still exist, one each in Denmark and Norway.Still the weapon was, relatively speaking, small and compact enough that it could be reasonably mounted onto an armored vehicle. A big armored vehicle, mind, but an armored vehicle. The Tiger I chassis was selected and construction was started using vehicles returned to the factory for rebuild. With 15cm of frontal armor sloped at 45 degrees, this vehicle was not easy on the Tiger’s suspension, and it weighed in at some 64 tons, seven more than the conventional, turreted vehicle.Commonly known as Sturmtiger or Sturmmoerser, the use of a nickname was pretty much mandated by the vehicle’s official title: Sturmmoerserwagen 606/4 mit Raketenwerfer 61. Which is kindof hard to type, and just a little bit long-winded.The first two vehicles completed were quickly dispatched to Warsaw, and the report back from the commander was not entirely complementary of the project. He reported that the blast from the round’s detonation was so big that the vehicle could not be close to the target. As a result, if engaging from further away from the target, it would make more sense to have a more lightly armored vehicle. Perhaps the Stupa was the best compromise.Indeed, the high explosive round carried 125kg of filler. To put this into perspective, the typical 15cm artillery round the Germans fired had just over 5.5kg of explosives. The 38cm HE shell fired from the battleship Bismarck had only a 64kg filler. This thing made a heck of a bang, with a lethality radius of some 500m.All in all, 18 of the vehicles were built, they were issued to three Sturm-Moerser-Kompanien, two of which fought in the Ardennes offensive in December of 1944. However, they proved to have little effect. Anyone on the receiving end noticed, one American Sherman commander saying that the round made a hole in the ground the size of his tank, but one unit missed the jump-off and most of the vehicles ended up having to be abandoned and destroyed by their crews. As a result, the vehicles ended up really just being a historical footnote. Albeit a really cool one. Two vehicles exist now, one in Germany, and one in Russia
