Jaguarz: I think the heavy brings more to its class than the medium does, the mediums just another medium while the heavy is a bit of a beast.

churchill50:  Fair, but it's something to get used to with WG. 99% of their events end early in the morning on the last listed day of the event.Something to watch out for in the future.

Jaguarz:  Same as last year if I recall correctly, the US didnt have a black friday sale while EU did, asinine.

TragicLoss: Update bump! Enjoy!

Jaguarz: its a pretty stupid looking 3d skin, not 122 TM levels of awful but still pretty bad.

Jaguarz:  Google it, seach the cookies for anything tank or wargaming related and delete those.

churchill50: That's because there are no Daily Deals today. The last day to get them was yesterday. The event ended at  03:20 PT | 05:20 CT | 06:20 ET this morning. Source:https://worldoftanks...deals-nov-2021/

Einzelganger7: ​  

Jaguarz: Ugly 3d skin, not 122 TM ugly but still.....

Jaguarz: Clear the cache of your browser, it sometimes gets gummed up and does weird stuff

Jaguarz: Gratz

1LT_Dwayne:  Like many would say we need stats to prove this. The logic behind sbmm is it reduces blowouts. This will happens because there is no reasons for a team stacked with 50%+ players to not obliterate one stacked with 49%-. I might not be the best but what I see in battle is terrible.

TeriyakiTanker:
I’m pretty sure you are just super confused.  The original 2000 number is there because that is the base number of bonds you get before spending any tokens.  That was my take on it.

Draschel: Yes I would be worth it to sell all your artillery in your entire accountFor even a tier IV tech tree SU76Nevermind a premium SU85i

Draschel: do you think every unit in this game, that gets and/or receives nerfs, is part of the malicious WG plan to upset you? And said malicious plan, exists only because of certain people asking  for nerfs?  You live in one weird, self serving, self absorbed, impossible to define delusional world for you and other arta and HE sympathizers,  let me read off a list of tanks getting nerfed that were doing quite well, and relied pretty much on AP for their success and damage, not HE.  HellcatVK3601430430U268 V4263AMX30BAMX30 pLeo PTAPZIII/IVPZIV if you think world of tanks exists, only to make you and those that think like you angry, by nerfing HE and artillery. You are quite mistaken. And if you think that these are the only things nerfed as well, again quite mistaken. And if you think certain types of people are behind what leads to the nerfs, again mistaken.

Jaguarz: If they made the gift tanks as effective as they used to be the T-50-2 would be laughing at all the EBRs such was its level of troll back in the day.

TragicLoss: Today is the last day to sign up!

A list of streamers will be posted tomorrow and will be in the Thanksgiving Article.

Draschel:  Its been a disaster since they introduced the class artillery. 

Draschel: https://ibb.co/W0Wh8jn Only for collectors. It is bad. Not Mauer Brecher bad, but bad. Lowe is much better. If you want one, make sure you have the Bismarck decals. Like so  ^Arta and bombs will rain down on you, the whole SINK THE BISMARCK theme. Since you are the size of Bismarck, and the turret rotates about as fast as the Bismarck

Draschel: You won't read. I didn't say KV4 was popular, I said for YOU, KV4 is popular because its among your most played tanks. Read dude. READ If you don't have stats to report about, what you say is just hot air. Conjecture. Why bother even saying any of it? Learn how to play or leave. You are complaining of this nerf that nerf everywhere a nerf nerf - complaining....lol. You talk of whine, but complain yourself, great.You know how ridiculous that even reads, guess what its exactly that. WG won't retract changes, because you scream and yell this or that.You continue on and do 2k damage in a patton, what people do in tier 8 with TLPC-1, and you continue on talking like you know somethingThis isn't even an argument. Nobody wins nobody even cares. WG doesn't give a fart in the wind what forums have to say. Because 260, Chieftain, 279E are front line tanks? 907/140 and STB1 hold flanks, and everything else is secondary? Support?You don't want to prove a point because you can't. Talk is cheap. And you talk alot. Even if your patton equipped Bonds stab, vents, rammer, directive, full field mod, public test 7 skill crew, every battle 3/5/7 tier 8-10, you still wouldn't do 3k damage. And it has nothing to do with the ammunition you fire. You don't read the game. You peaked at semi-competent, and have remained there and will remain there for an eternity.  

Draschel:  Well, I didn't SAY WG makes changes, based on the voices of this people or that people. YOU DID.I don't need to report USAGE stats, if I am not using this idiotic plea as my argument.I don't say unproven things like WG makes decisions because they listen to A, B, C, D  but NOT E and F. WG makes decisions because, they feel like it?You ARE saying, ignorantly, that they make a decision off of  a whim to please a certain camp. Well, okay. Evidence please? All howitzers have premium ammunition for dealing penetrable, consistent damage. Many even have normal AP shot. Many tanks that mount these derpers, even have normal AP long barrel options.-So people choose to derp. They want not to aim their shots, sit still on a corner, wait for a foe to appear and shoot their track for 25-40% and then leave. And repeat. -in conjunction with ^  people want to sit in narrow funnels, tunnel vision, and HE trade with derps. While not worrying of map control or position-They want not to aim, center of mass a shot at IS7  500m away, and not worry about having to make a penetration, and deal 600 damage with an FV.  Oh and while I do agree, WG has corridor-oriented many maps, according to how they used to be - to say Redshire, malinovka, prohorovkha, Ghost Town, Studzianka, Highway are corridors is incredibly ignorant when camo rating and bushes and VR make HUGE difference. Not every map people play are ensk, ruinberg, himmelsdorf, minsk, pilsen. Though ALL THE HE DERPERS want them. Why is that?   Interpretation of rules are subjective. WG doesn't care, they just do what they do. Integrate, cry, leave - the user decides.  And you didn't answer my feedback objectively. Fire premium shells, out of T34 heavy, KV4, M48A5. These are amongst your more popular, highly played tanks. Fire premium. Over a span of time, lets look at your combined per game. Lets see exactly, *if premium is crutch*  Go on, show us. 

Draschel:  Are you sure HE was ONLY being used to chip away at people?Or was it being used as a general purpose, spammed derper round to even hit tracks of side scrape targets and deal 40% damage? And one-shots are common. From FVs, KV2, OI, SU152. We are talking about commonly played tanks. It is why they also changed artaHE with small guns sizes sucked before 1.12 by the way. Try shooting 76mm HE rounds at Mauschen or Type 4 or T95. And you'd get 0,0,0,0,0,0Now you can at least manage 5 pts. Which is 5 that you really need for cap reset. Not 0. 

Draschel:  when you hit several mines, your damage log will be >>dmg (mine)>>dmg (mine)>>dmg (mine)>>dmg (mine)And its been done, seen before many times now. Even on soft medium tanks, like STA2, M4 Rev, Lorraine. Typically 100-300 And I was not going fast. My damage log was >>725 (mine)  

Jaguarz: Is it worth buying for credits? Sure, they cost you literally nothing, not really my type of tank though

Jaguarz:  Oh well, if Wargaming said this it must be true given their role as bastion of integrity and all, funnily enough I dont recall people saying how much faster sandbox loaded......

Jaguarz:  Lies, I believe you came by this information due to your secret sources and are trying to divert suspicion by hiding behind other news sites!!

Jaguarz:   Thats asinine, its taking a light position in a game, an incredibly valuable spot and what you are getting is a really bad medium, it has worse camo than almost every t7 medium, its view range is meh at 380 which is bettered by many mediums you will meet, the comet has better camo and a 380 view range for example and the T20 exceeds it, the armour is worthless in t7 and above, its power to weight ratio is bad, its soft stats are bad. What it has is good gunhandling and an almost infinite supply of ammo but the gun is puny, oh and it can ram which is beneficial is minimal situations. People have significant rose tinted glasses syndrome with this tank but its a shadow of what used to be in the game and its effectiveness as a light tank is literally minimal, its not a good "light killer" because its easily spotted and wrecked on its way to "ram" the lights which brings you so much joy. If you are not a really good player than bringing a Awful panther to the fight over any other t7 light is hurting your own team except in stupid situations where it wouldnt matter what you brought anyway. To reiterate my point, if you have fun in it then great, thats all that really matters, I really enjoy my Pz7 but Im under no illusion that it isnt a bad tank because fundamentally it is, I can bend it and the map to my will to make the best of it, its effectiveness is down to me, not the tank. Some people really can polish a turd and make it do amazing things but it doesnt change the fact that its a turd, its just a reflection on your abilities to draw the best from it. (also playing a turd well confuses a lot of people which is fun) But you know, thats all just my opinion based mainly on mundane things like stats and annihilating them as they cross my path, like buttholes everyone has an opinion, Im not the King of tanks.

Jaguarz:  It has worse camo than most mediums..... I wish you luck on find it fun long term....

Draschel: I got penetrated by a mine. Lost 725 health straight in M41D. Life is great. usually you see heavy tanks, meds, get stuck in minefields. They get tracked, stunned, repair and move a meter, and tracked stunned again. You see the target markers consecutively, >>100  >>200 >>100 >>200 >>100. Red markers, with the teller mine circular symbol. usually in this damage range. I got 1, repeat 1 for >>725.  Awesome. 3 cheers for mines, and WG does what purple players want, right?  

Draschel: Well? Why wait, show us this crutch. *Anyone* and I mean anyone, can spam HE. All it takes is to equip vehicle with HE, and fire.                                                             But please do, tell me how gold shells are crutch and don't need aim and are magic.                                                            Show us. Play 50 battles, most played tanks: 16/16/16  T34 heavy, M48A5, KV4. Shoot only premium                                                            Instead of doing 1,100 and 2,000 respectively, the ammo is a *crutch* you should do 2k+ and 3k+ post-result.Show me. Put your words to the test? I'll kindly wait.  

Draschel:  But he mentioned hulldown. IS7, 260, Badger, VK7201 don't necessarily need to be hulldown, just *LFP* down, their hulls resist 350 HEAT. Out of touch player? You mean exceptionally better player? That plays to an outrageously higher consistency, performance, bracket than the people screaming and yelling HE nerfed? Really? That is what you have to say?The tanks that hold choke points are IS7, 260, 705A, STB1, chieftain, 279E, kran and situationally 110E3  Strv  and VK7201. The situational ones are for extremely small maps like ensk and himmelsdorf and ruinbrg, or bush camper corridors for Strv. The first, easier popular ones in the list hold choke in hull down areas or corners, and very importantly offer flexibility of mobility being able to move across the map. Holding choke points isn't what makes tanks powerful, its well balanced aspects they have. Such as good combinations of HP, armor, camo, gun dep and firepower, mobility Where are your stats on saying HE was most often used"_____"  All I am seeing is conjecture concerning your opinions and experience. Tanks like PZIV, M4, Jumbo, KV2 and ®, OI, Oho, Type 4/5, SU152, both FVs, conway are just some examples you could have found using exclusively HE.  (or HESH, which is HE)  It would not have be uncommon to find E100, 60TP, 110E4, Fochs 155 doing it either. This practice wasn't uncommon. It still isn't uncommon, I still see alot of KV2 and OI still derping around with the 900 dmg HE, or spamming FVs. Extremely random, and able to work in situations where even if you had 10,000mm HEAT or AP pen, it would still bounce. But the HE wouldn't. This is broken. Oho shooting Maus or Jag pz into the face for 150 dmg but killing 3 people and setting the tank on fire, is broken  Its easier for HE too do *some* damage, than it is for APCR or HEAT premium penetrate and do their damage. While yes, a T55A spamming 330 HEAT against tier 7s like 13 57 and Type 62 and M56 scorpion may seem out of place and a crutch, but it isn't. The definition of a crutch is to lean, have bicycle wheels for you. Making something easy. And the amount of time shooting at tanks like 268 V 4, Maus, E100 on the flip side of MM balances it out. I still see even second line tanks, like 277, STB1, 113, 140, 907, 121B bouncing plenty of premium rounds in adv and CW - not even talking about the "balanced" bunch. You don't have a clue what you are talking about.  If you want to appeal, nerf premium shells, go for it. At least have the decency to also add *nerf armor*. Heavy tanks should be like Tiger II and TD  like AC48mle.  Not like  279E, Badger, Etc. If you auto-aim Tiger II, or VK7501, or AC48mle you will 95% of the time, bounce with standard 225 pen AP in tier 8. However, if you take the time to aim at their front profile, you can easily pen them with 190 pen AP. You try penetrating Defender, or Chrysler, or 112 with 190 pen AP? Why is this hard to grasp? why premium round usage problematic, for a common guy like you?  

Draschel: Kind of like AMX65T. Five equipment slots for that thing. And all slots should be bonus% slots.It would then be playable. Gun layer, aiming class, improved rotation, turbocharger, and ventilation.   65T should also have an unique 4th consumable spot, which can't be removed. Like 777-ii and Phase 1 large repair. Called:  sparkling wine. 12.5% crew boost. and stacks with strong coffee. 

Draschel: while I do not necessarily recommend it, build of ventilation in +%slot, exhaust system,  rammer  with BIA, vents directive, camo crew, camo paint  will leave you 34.6 % camo. That is not the best out there for full-tilt camo crew, but nevertheless can be sneaky breeky cheeky. Even in this situation, the view range with situational awareness also respectable 438m. I'd still go with vents, optics, rammer for a cool 479m sight, and use position for any sort of bushy play. Keep in mind when dealing with camo, position helps alot   AKA Bushes   No amount of camo that you ADD* onto a tank, will help something like Oho hide. But in bushed cover, even an Oho can hide. Even though camo may not be like bouratt or object 416, you can move with your camo staying intact which is huge. 

Jaguarz:  Which is a worse light tank then in your estimation? 

Jaguarz:  Maybe compare like with like, as a light tank it fails hard, doesnt mean you cant do well in it, doesnt mean you wont have a good game in it but as a light its trash.

Draschel: L71 started off with 220 damage.D10T started off with 230 damage. A damage buff to D10T would actually be fine. 

Jaguarz: Its telias backbone, its always telia, I use a vpn to avoid the problem nodes when I get the issue.
