KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys!  The event runs from 26Jul - 9Aug for more information on this click HERE.

_BobaFett: I have advocated for this for years.

Draschel: what kind of player are you?  (aggressive, know positions, know numbers)what kind of instance is/are the tank featured for (CW/Adv/Pub/Ranked)how strong are your crews available for the tanks There is alot that goes into particular tank setupssituational awareness, recon, preventative maintenance, clutch braking, off road driving are good skills  -  but are hard to all get when focusing first on BIA, repairs, camo, firefighting, smooth ride/snapshot In addition, because these skills can be hard to get requiring time or resources or both - are coated optics necessary? or can be passed over for consumable ration + firefighting + firefighting directive and simply use ventilation in +% boosting spot A standardized pub setting, will use ventilation, ---------, rammer. The dotted line can be any of rotator, supercharger, optics, stabilizer. if your view range is set because you got situational awareness and recon, the choice is up to you if you brawl more (rotator)  if you race to positions often and contest meds  (supercharger)  or if you value gun handling most and snapshots  (stabilizer)  Particular roles in competition, such as CW and ranked, would include hardening, for a heavy tank. But since 110E5 isn't a CW tank, and kind of has low HP anyway influenced by hardening, it is very meh. For ranked, which does not allow Chieftain, one may say  110E5 is a natural replacement for a faster super conqueror / 60 TP, but kranvan does that role alot better. Or even a medium like Patton. I think the buffs for 110E5 were fine and definitely changed the tank, just hasn't changed its scope. Lay of the land. Its still just a pub machine  

Draschel:  How do you have time to play then?  

Draschel:  Seems very odd that something like this concerns you  

Draschel: You argue with just about every single person on the forums, who replies to you.I am pretty sure it's not just me. There are no rules on being a screen-time sociopath, so do what you want. But because its a game, with some people actually caring about doing well in Wot - you offer absolutely nothing.Its aptly described right there. An anti-social, conspiracy theorist, poor performer just here to harp.  Learn how to play, champ. Fewer silly things will come out of you. And less will look down on you.   

Draschel: There you go off again. Lad, just read the two posts. There is a huge difference between the two.You can't control your temper. And are no help to anyone. 

Draschel: I think actually, Craig is spot on. There are different tokens awarded per battle result. Has not been well-explained.All Tour tokens. Battle Pass tokens.  I don't think it is a bad idea, to have the end-battle result, that displays "you have been awarded 1 token!"  as a clickable interface, to lead you to where they are stored, and explain what they do or are for   

Draschel: I don't crap on people. I do not garbage post.It is all quality content that people can learn from.It is only in your mind that you think thatAgain, you have terrible tone, terrible civility. You can't hold a conversation without being irritate  

Draschel:  of course no one cares. Because no one knows. And neither do you. See how that works?Stop being ignorant, stop being a hater, and learn how to playYou are insulting every single time you type. For no reason 

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah, look at you. Make a post knowing you're going to get a reaction, then come back and reply spam to all the posts, but I'm the troll. Your troll post was such obvious attention seeking, and now you're reveling in it like an neglected step-child. Sure it's negative attention, but that doesn't matter to you. You'll take what you can get. And by the way, my post was true. Studies have confirmed PC players have higher IQs than console players.  

DeviouslyCursed:  He isn't, because he will get his share of battles in his favor. He had the opportunity to have a game he'd remember forever. It just didn't work out this time, oh well. Play it and move on.

Draschel:  Then why care about anonymizer if people don't care about the people using it.500 IQ. 

Draschel: looking for 3-4 reliable guys to join the clan (I will help them get in) to maintain skirmishes and industrial resource,as the clan is kind of acting hunched over and dead - starting to stink. Want activity and get credits while doing it. Clan is in top 40 weighted PR, but we desperately need some activity6s to start, 8s and Advances if we can muster. Don't give 3 brown s--- about ranking, but want wins for creds/x2looking for at least 6k PR people not to tank clan averages too drastic  or alternatively, i can leave my clan in search of an active skirmishing clan. T6 preferred for speed runs. skirmish win rate @ 65%, have T3485M, Type 64, Cromwell. Not very friendly or fond of Wot, but know the game and maps well and do my best to win. I work away from home 4-5 days/week, so only have playing time of 2-3 days  PM if interested. Or if not, don't?   

_BobaFett:  Well, then I have nothing to say about it.

DeviouslyCursed:  Your most played tier 10 (by far, 742 battles) has 50% win rate and 1646 DPG. And your second most (at 341 battles has more than the 5 remaining tier 10s combined) has 48% win rate and 1623 DPG. Yes yes, I know you're really proud of being hard carried by your platoonmates in your tier 10s. With under 2K average damage if you played solo you'd be well under 50%. And 39K battles and only about 1250 are tier 10, you shouldn't be talking smack to anyone about playing lower tiers.  As for your picture, I'm perfectly fine with being the solo green on the enemy team. Those matches don't bother me at all. If I lose, oh well. If I win, it's hilarious and smack talking time to the other team (when I had xvm, I don't use it now).

DeviouslyCursed:  1. You usually triple platoon, so that is 1/5. 2. Intelligence isn't a requirement for posting, so yes, you will still have people whining about losing, people too stupid to understand blowouts will still happen even with perfectly balanced teams,  and people will still make "it's rigged!" posts except with SBMM, they'd be correct just about the wrong part: the games would be rigged, but RNG would still be impartial. 3. I'm sure you would still make your share of stupid posts also. Someone who understands statistics as poorly as you will still find something to be wrong about.

DeviouslyCursed:  Yeah Dunniteowl, when you going to grow up and play tier 7 exclusively like SimplySimple? I mean, the game play change between tier 6 and 7 is so impressively massive that it is practically a whole new game. ...oh wait no it's not. I can't believe this idiot even said this line. Just wait though, about 4 posts later he will deny ever saying it. 

DeviouslyCursed: 1a : marked by impartiality and honesty : free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism - When the mm stacks all the skill on one team, there is no "impartiality", and it definitely shows "favoritism" to the stacked team.    Yep, Random MM is fair because it treats all players equally. SBMM is not fair because it deliberately treats accounts differently. You know, prejudice. Thanks for the definition. Course, I already knew this...

DeviouslyCursed:  Of course not. If SBMM is implemented, you would immediately have the forums flooded by the same idiots stating the SBMM is broken because the matches are still blowout after blowout.

DeviouslyCursed:  And if he wants more balanced games, he can stop platooning with greens+...

Draschel:  The whole idea of a padding, leech of a player, is largely a false claim. Or something said out of anger. Emphasis on *largely* What I mean by largely, is that there are very few of these players. People who like to focus their accounts on things like M10 RBM, T67, Hellcat and T78, Excalibur, E25, S1, 103B. There are quite a list, and lots of people make career accounts just playing these sniper schnitzel tanks. However, I see the point as moot, because a player that understands camo, bushes, patience - is far more valuable to a team than a player who doesn't. My only gripe with these players, is doing this stuff in tiers 3,4,5,6 and making the game unfair for people grinding. Frankly, people who play tanks like AMX30 proto, Leopard proto, object 430 II, K. Panzer, waffentrager - again vehicles that requires knowledge of map positions, camo, bushes, patience and are at high tier. I have even seen them being played fairly aggressively and smart, going for free poke damage. This just isn't padding stats, or everyone bob, bill, jim, duke would be doing it. And they don't. 

DeviouslyCursed:  Really? Given the post the OP made, you're going to lecture someone about making a constructive post? Really?

DeviouslyCursed: I have fun in those matches, whether it's stacked for me or against me. Not sure what your problem is. And there is a reason why MM shouldn't balance by skill: because then you don't control your win rate. I also notice you didn't show the end score. Was there a  reason for that?

Einzelganger7: Nice, free credits.

Draschel:  Boomer? You know nothing of my life. Why don't you put some effort, into what we all know, like that you can't play a T57 -  rather than placing effort into what you don't know - and insulting me.Seriously, you'd benefit. Not me, you. Insulting someone's life is a defeatists, envious attitude. "Well your life sucks because you are better than me."  Nice   

Draschel:  Not really. But you? Isn't civility. I am not the one freely calling stuff r------ and trashI have some self control. I'd like to, but refrain. You are not required to like a streamer. Pick and choose. And if you don't ignore it. Why be here? Why talk? 

Jaguarz: This not being an ace killed me, (1369 xp on this game) had 1450 xp in the char before and it not being an ace  Looks like all the token buyers are flooding the field now as 1336 got me the ace the other week. It was actually a huge disappointment as was one of my unicorns and to get the ace on such a low XP threshold after not getting on higher games seemed meh.  

Draschel: Example easy fixes: 3-Shell velocity model. Start updating the game more with sensible shell velocity models. HEAT/HE/HESH are typically heavier, shaped different than AP/APCR - and correspondingly aren't usually as fast and level.For example, Skoda T40 and E100, 112, Revaloris, 07 RH, 703 are nice models. They have  faster AP ammunition than their HEAT, and their HEAT is typically annoying to fling at greater range. In the middle, tanks like WZ1115A, 430U, 277, SU130PM, T57, 110E5 fire their HEAT at the same velocity as their AP, not invoking an annoying penalties. Bizarrely, tanks like M56 scorpion, TL1PC, HK30 even fire faster HEAT than their standard ammo. Changing these, to typically fit the first bracket, makes using HEAT more challenging. Especially since it doesn't drop at rangeChanges to effect APCR, as APCR is faster than AP, can include noticeable, rather than arbitrary pen drop off.  Another change that can easily be ushered, is +1/-1 MM. This will reduce a boatload of premium ammunition shot out. Premiums like 112, E25, IS6, Jag Tiger 88 can be buffed with strict MM like old 3/5/7 break down (this case 3/12) they can see no more than 3 tier 9 at any given time. Whereas normal tanks, get normal +1/-1    

Draschel: your examples of ''very few problem tanks''  is horridly narrow, and ignores the many  Making tanks like 121B, 121, 140, 907, 430, 430U completely blur the lines too While premium ammunition change, to a standardized 3-shell system like arta isn't terrible, it must coincide directly with massive tiers 4-10 armor model implementation Armor still works, people just have to put some thought into its deployment. Just like premium ammo, it works but it isn't press 2 and autopen everything in front of you The game simply has many more worthwhile simpler things it can focus on to reduce premium ammunition shot. Being something not exclusive, it isn't a major issueAnd as soon as a decision like this is made, then follows the slew of complaints about premium vehicle nerfs. And nerfs to large consumables. Not worth it.  

Draschel: At least it isn't tier II or IIIAn Improvement

Draschel:  Yes Tiger surely has DPM and alpha if IS runs the 100mm. But IS tank is a reasonable chassis, and Tiger is a s----- oneTiger and A45 are excellent tournament 1vs1 tanks, because they control the engagement with DPM amd HPTiger surely is an irritating pub tank though with its tier 5 body

DeviouslyCursed: I edited my post, I was misunderstanding what you guys were saying. I blame the hangover. My bad. 

DeviouslyCursed:  It's about 3% less blowouts according to the data. 24% vs 27%. But having 3 less blowouts out of 100 games is not worth losing your input into your stats and win rate. Edited: because I wasn't paying attention.

DeviouslyCursed:  He couldn't get everyone to quit with his negative posts, now he's trying to kill the game with stupid suggestions.

Draschel:  It is a skill4ltu meme that his dad works there. 

Draschel:  to be honest, war gaming took a long time to finally release, clear rules as what is allowed and disallowed.  

_BobaFett:  - Last spotted position- List of enemy hits- List of your hits- Team and enemy total HP- Allies spotted indicator- TD handbrake disable- Zoom reset Etc.

_BobaFett: Ranked is a rage-fest. Which is why I avoid it.

_BobaFett:  His "main" was banned.

_BobaFett: It's a fun little tank.

_BobaFett: Thanks for the analysis Guido. Appreciate it.
