Lert: The AP shell hit an external module, not an armor plate.   Next.

Lert:   It's tank dependant. Lowe and T34 for example are premium 8's that don't get pref MM while KV-5, IS-6, FCM 50t, JagdTiger 88 and Type 59 are tier 8 premies that do get pref MM.

Capitao_Desastre_:   Podia ter sido pior. A premiação original era de 2000. 

The_Chieftain:   I have no particular opinion on it. As long as the welding technology is up to snuff, go for it. Watch for the shot traps.

Lert: My guides explain basic game mechanics. As for your other questions ...   - When you are bottom tier your job isn't to brawl their high tier tanks, but to annoy them. Flank them, attack from unexpected angles, know weak spots. Another part of your job is to prevent the enemy's low tier tanks from doing that to your high tiers.
  - Damage earns credits. Learn weak spots, make sure your fire is effective, and only fire premium shells (APCR, HEAT) when you need to. Finally, try to survive longer.   - WN8 is a third party metric that tries to measure skill. At your experience you needn't worry about that yet.

Lert: J'aime*   The 't'aime' is a contraction of 'tu aime'. Teling me 'je t'aime porc' basically means that you love me, but think I'm a pig.   The more you know ...

Lert:   AMX-30 line, most likely.

Lert: If you're going to let nameless, faceless people on the internet who don't even know you chase you away, you better get off the internet to begin with. Internet is like the real world, but with added anonimity, for better or for worse.   Are you still here?   Good.   Welcome to world of tanks. Ignore what aholes tell you, and please learn the game in your own pace. You have a long, long way to go, since there is a lot to learn...   Here is a start. Remember, that is just a start - not intended to make someone amazing at this game, but to at least help them start carrying their own weight.

Lert: I'll believe it when I see it. Also, source of that 'promise'?

Lert: Yes, because everyone has lego.   As for what tank to built: Tsar.

Lert: People don't get banned for one ineffective shot on a teammate. Only way that happens is if you've been flagged as a teamkiller way before.   Also, if you'd submitted the report of the heavy pushing you to support, he would be the one with the ban (for physics abuse / griefing), not you.   You chose to shoot a teammate. You got what was coming to you. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.   Also, threatening to leave the game? Just what do you think to accomplish with that? That we'd all grovel and beg you to stay? Tough luck. If that's your attitude, you're better off putting your money where your mouth is.

Lert: EU and RU also have advent calender specials, NA doesn't.   This is the first time I'm actually starting to agree with all the "Waah NA is the redheaded stepchild" whiners. The NA team better get their heads out of their collective behinds and give us a killer special for the actual holidays ... The way NA server is looking now, you'd be forgiven to think it's your average day in march or something, not the holidays, days of celebration.

Lert:   Wasn't that entire line basically vaporware, stuck in development hell?

Lert:   Play a lot. Getting perks takes a lot of time and a lot of work, using the same crew over multiple tanks.

Lert:   AFAIK this beautiful beast is called AMX 65t. It's an AMX 50B hull with conventional turret. It was featured in old trailers for the original french tree introduction, but quietly dropped off the radar. WG has a functional model of it in at least playable condition, so why not?   + AMX 50B hull is an amazing hull. Very mobile, low profile, very good frontal armor profile + Conventional turret, so no autoloader bullcrap + That looks like the 120mm rifled gun we all know and love from the 50B, 50 120, T110E5, Conqueror and FV215b heavy, that's a damn good gun - It's french - While the hull is low profile, the turret certainly is not - The turret is 15 tons heavier than on the 50B, so the tank will be slower than the 50B +/- depending on armor profile on turret might be very soft and easily killed, or good from the front and bad from the side.   Note on the turret:   While the french high tier tanks aren't known for their bouncy armor, the mantlet at least looks well sloped and, depending on WG's stat-fudging, could be made to be very bouncy. It's also large enough to cover most of the frontal armor profile of the turret. So while I don't have any stats regarding the 'historical' armor of the 65t, WG could make it as soft or as bouncy as they please, giving them a good way to balance this tank. Plus, if they do make the frontal arc of the turret very bouncy but the sides very soft, that might make it a very interesting tank to play, compared to the other high tier french tanks. Also, the turret being 15 tons heavier than the 50B turret opens up the path to it being better armored.   Plus, it being a conventional turret instead of an oscillating one makes it more likely to have a conventional gun without autoloader.

The_Chieftain:   I should look up how many Kolobanov's medals have been awarded in a month. That should provide a more reliable indicator of how rich you might be.

The_Chieftain:   The theory, when the system (LDS) was deployed aboard both Type 22s, a Type 21 (Amazon?) and Invincible in the 1982 war was that an attacking pilot when blinded would pull up to avoid crashing into the sea while making a low level attack run. At worst, this just screwed up his attack run, at best, it would make the 'plane an easier target for the missile systems.   In the 1991 war, two Bradley Stingrays were sent to the desert. The primary system was a large laser emitter on the right side of the turret which was designed to defeat targetting systems before they engaged. Not used operationally.   Since then, the laws on the use of lasers as weapons against personnel have kicked in a bit, so there hasn't been much further development on Stingray or the LDS.  

The_Chieftain:   None.

Lert:   No, none of them are 'reverse engineered', let alone most of them. The low tier ones are lend-lease, that's something entirely different.  

Lert:   Comet chassis with 17pdr in large turret, basically.

Lert: Nothing will happen to XP that has been accumulated.

Lert:   You do realize that test 1's soft stats were placeholder, right?

Lert:   I basically throw her at the wall and see what sticks.

Lert:   Yes it has.     Another thing wrong with this thread is that you give OP a serious response. He's a useless troll with delusions of adequacy, nothing more. Always has been. My sister could menstruate better posts than him.

dance210: The Stand-To is Wargaming’s new daily tournament (named after WWI’s daily face off against the enemy where soldiers were expected to stand ready on the trench fire step, preparing for attack).   Now it’s your turn to roll into the fray.

Lert:   Bacon is overrated. Also, I didn't see your thread. My apologies.

Lert: Would you rather have a night of 3000 wn8 losses or 700 wn8 victories? Just curious.   Better thread.

dance210: Skirmish Rules Tournament Page Registration for entire tournament Registration for bravo playoff (weekend) only Looking for a Team/Players   Group Stage Standings   Basic Tournament Information for Skirmish 50 Please see tournament page for all information   Team Size: 4 combatants + 3 reserves Map: Airfield Mode: Standard Tier Point Limit: 32 Tier Limits: This represents the max tier allowed. Teams are allowed to bring lower tiers. ​ Light: Not allowed Medium: Tier 8 Heavy: Tier 8 TD: Not allowed SPG: Not allowed     Skirmishes now have three days of group play (Monday-Wednesday) followed by a playoff (Friday-Sunday). Teams can choose to play only in the weekend playoff or participate in group play for better seeding and greater prizing.   After completing group play, a standings table will sort all teams across all groups based on points earned against points possible. Prizes are awarded at completion of group play to teams finishing in the top half of the standings. These teams qualify for the Alpha Playoff. All remaining teams qualify for the Bravo Playoff.   Alpha Playoff This playoff consists of the top 50% of group play teams who will play for a larger prize pool. Group play performance will determine playoff seeding.   Bravo Playoff This playoff consists of all remaining teams and includes teams registering solely for the weekend. These teams will compete for a smaller prize pool and the playoff brackets are not seeded.   Both the Alpha & Bravo Playoffs will use multiple brackets holding a maximum of 16 teams. This means multiple winners are awarded prizing for their standing in their respective bracket.

pizzastorm:   Okay  here is the clarification.   Mission "Warm up guns" - Please note that any kills a player makes during a loss will NOT count towards the completion of the mission. Conversely, all kills earned during a win WILL count towards mission completion.    

Lert: That 200mm is the counterweight because it's a turret made for a 76mm M1A1 gun and they fitted a 17pdr instead. The 17pdr is a much heavier gun with a much longer, heavier barrel.   Sorry, I thought OP was talking about the Achilles. Ignore the comments about the M1A1. It's still a counterweight, though.

pizzastorm:   That is how I read it as well.

pizzastorm:   Hey,   I wanted to go ahead and head off any concerns that some may have with these missions. These are not part of the coming mission/specials I mentioned in last weeks thread, but an added bonus.     More stuff is coming relatively soon (I know you all love to hear this). I, for one, will be stocking up on all the consumables I can this weekend to use for the rest of the month.    Also, as many of you have figured out by now, there will be no On Track event this month. Our events team has cooked up something a little different for you to enjoy and will also be announced alongside the next batch of missions.   Hope those of you on the West Coast are staying dry!
