Hypnotik: I've looked through the replay from that stream and don't see you in any of the battles. Please send me a link to your replay via PM.

The_Chieftain: Speaking of dreadnaughts, the game of the same name attracted quite a bit of attention at PAX. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for it.

Capitao_Desastre_: Minha experiência:

No servidor RU o jogo é mais agressivo, e se você tomar a iniciativa e atacar, o resto do time não fica atrás deixando você morrer sozinho. Na minha opinião, o povo do servidor RU vê WoT como um jogo e não tem medo de ver o tanque destruído pelo inimigo, mais ainda se der para dar mais um passo para a vitória.

O servidor EU (que é onde tenho a maioria das minhas batalhas, 7100 +/-) os jogadores não são tão agressivos como no RU, mas mesmo assim não são tão passivos como aqui no NA. As batalhas acabam sendo mais equilibradas devido à população maior do servidor, e é também devido à população maior que tem sempre uma oportunidade de vez em quando um jogador médio-mau como eu fazer a diferença e carregar o time até à vitória. Ah, e também devido à população maior não tenho de lutar contra tier 8 em 9 em cada 10 batalhas com meus tier 6 como aqui.

The_Chieftain:   Er, no. I was talking about how we had to get rid of two Tier Xs, how we had three likely candidates to do it, and how the problem was getting good statistics on any of them. I did not say "4202 will be replaced by Chieftain," just "that it was something considered"

dance210:   I've been out for the past week and just got it today so...yes, I expect everyone is still waiting for the gold 

The_Chieftain:   The 90s are not the same gun on the two tanks.

Hypnotik:   Confirmed.   As for your other question - each time you conquer the province, you get the VP. And yes, while there will be a bit of flexibility for some people at the start, it will begin to get crowded on Asgard, and it will be worth it for you to fight towards the Valhalla provinces in the middle. You'll also have to be careful with your chipstack(s) on Asgard, as it will be impossible to reinforce your stacks there without taking more gates.

dance210: Haha Mogz and B33PB33P, I don't know if I should be scared or jealous of y'all playing with all the Skirmish data. Math for the win <3     B33PB33P, nice job with the stats! Interesting and very well done, thanks!

dance210:   Right now, the email that goes out lets players know that Tournament X has been paid, although as BlazeZero pointed out, it doesn't include actual amounts. Those are on the tournament page (playoffs) and when I have time, on the forum Standings page for the Group Stage.   I would love to have a gold log for y'all...but sadly that's not something I can do myself  

dance210:   Yep! Silver league is definitely on the list :)

dance210: Aw you are very welcome!!   I've been told I'm a strange one...as long as I see it (and have an actual answer lol), I love answering questions

dance210:   This is soon™. I've been out of the office since last Thursday, so unfortunately haven't had a chance to do Skirmish 33 payouts. The plan is to take care of any outstanding League/Skirmish payouts when I finally get back in tomorrow

Hypnotik: Well done, xxhawkx.   This seems to be a very useful site, and well made.

dance210: I can confirm, last I checked payouts have NOT gone out yet.   Unless it gets done today, I'm back tomorrow and it's on my list of things to get done ASAP.   Thanks for your continued patience!!

Capitao_Desastre_: O resultado deveria sair hoje, mas tivemos um pequeno problema e apenas amanhã saberemos os vencedores. Peço desculpa pelo atraso.

The_Warhawk:   It's worth noting that Donald Miller's Masters of the Air is a rather harsh analysis of the 8th AAF's Bombing Campaign. He draws quite a bit of attention to the ineffectiveness of strategic bombers in destroying the U-Boat pens in France, the lack of effectiveness in halting German Fighter production, and as you mentioned the major contribution being targeting of oil production, which was capable of being attacked earlier in the war.   Like Shattered Sword, Masters of the Air deconstructs the strategic thinking that led to the development of the B-17 and it's implementation over Europe, as well as the lack of Fighter escorts (and actually a few understated blunders on the 8th AAF's part, namely lack of coordination with the RAF when searching for crews in the channel). The flip side is Masters of the Air lacks a lot of the technical detail of Shattered Sword. Still I would say it's definitely worth a read.

Capitao_Desastre_:   É um T49. A torre elite (e a arma) é a mesma do Sheridan.

The_Chieftain: I think it's partially because a lot of players don't know the concept of CB and a lot of older players don't know that it can be done again. As a result, few people ever see it and know to do it. Very rarely do I do avoidance drills.

The_Chieftain: I think he more had in mind "HESH round to the TC's hatch".

The_Warhawk: There have been some M36s that have been recovered in Iraq. I think they were captured by the Iraqi Army during the Iran-Iraq War (at least one was sporting Iranian Army markings). I have no idea if they were ever actually used by the Iraqi Army.   Another vehicle worth mentioning that is in our game is the ISU-152, which was also fielded by the Iraqi Army.

The_Warhawk:   Dark side? That sounds like my kind of side.

The_Chieftain: Arty traces came back a good few patches ago. I get the occasional kill, and I've been nailed once or twice myself.

The_Warhawk:   So I was flipping through the library the other day and found a couple of Sheridan derivatives in Hunnicutt's Sheridan. One was an IFV armed with a 20mm cannon and was supposed to carry 11 men with 8 firing ports for the troops embarked. Another one was a Sheridan chassis equipped with a twin 25mm Turret. Maybe not quite a Bradley in Sheridan form, but rather close.

The_Chieftain:   Wait until next week. They will explode with rage.

Content_WG: The Chieftain heads to Russia to give us the lowdown on the T-34-85, an important upgrade of the original T-34.
