Draschel:  super pershing is littered with weak sections. Everywhere. I see green, everywhere on your image. Easy pen. Facing super p, you can penetrate it with tier 5  130 AP pen. Even in sidescrape which it sucks at, any time it tries to face you to attack, it gets penetrated easily. Try to leave 30 degree ricochet angle, it gets penetrated. Easily. EBR75, easy HE pen to the side. EBR has trouble even HE pen Is6 in the butt Is6 armor works against 8s. Against premium? Well is4 front armor starts to fold against 10s firing premium too.  You are not getting the point. Armor ins't great armor, untouched, unless you are 279E or Defender. or a 112. Armor, usually needs tinkering. Angling. That is where is4 and is6 shine.     

Draschel:  UFP is a large part of armor, but isn't all of it. While Is4 can do many tricky things and use lots of elements of armor because of angling, AMX54 can't due to extremely thin side protection. But facing forward, not abusing the cupola, AMX54 definitely is more difficult a pen than Is4. Both LFP and UFPDoes AMX54 have more armor than is4? No. It does not have more. Does AMX54 have better frontal armor? Yes By you admitting to the point that Is4 is good in pubs, which I said a page earlier, means exactly the same thing, pub armor. Is6 ha pub armor too.  Can you please tell me, who else thinks super pershing has better armor than is6 though?  I mean, I have the is6 3-marked. 112 too. They are fully capable of bouncing shots, certainly better than super pershing

Draschel: Is4 armor is fine. When in use correctly. same thing with an Is6, the point of this thread. They have near similar armor schemes, just is4 is up-scaled  

Draschel:  Look at Is4 armor closely. strong vs AP in tier, weak vs premium. 310 from skoda is a low powered HEAT, and still has reasonable chance to pen Is4, nearing 60% But when you start angling Is4, that is when it becomes magical. The shoulders are too steep to pen like 215B or Pz K VII. Thick side armor to boot, baiting people into taking bad shots. The armor is bad for a tier X heavy, compared to what exists like Is7, 705A, AMX54, 260. Even 60TP, if you don't hit the driver hatch, the rest of UFP is ricochet. According to an UFP. Is6 is the exact same. Mediocre armor for a heavy. But start angling it, it becomes solid. Like is4. If you recall what I said anyway: 

Draschel:  Who says super pershing has better armor than is6?  

Draschel:

Draschel:  You are under the ill-thought assumption, that RNG does not operate the other way. Like, it only operates to f--- over users. That is fact. RNG operates both above and below. 

Draschel:  We are assuming that someone is shooting IS6 in a supposed easily defeatable location, when faced straight on at level ground, that is no more effective than 210-213mm AP. We are assuming that someone does not take into account slight angling, just about listing 20' left or right, and all of a sudden that same pen chance becomes 50/50 with 234 pen. One of the better AP pen available in tier.  And if penetration target marker isn't used, the person wouldn't even suspect their green shifted to orange. We are assuming the lower hull can be hidden for the most part, or at least minimized to a fraction of a side, like in the picture. Then all of a sudden, the weak points for IS6 using 234 AP, or 249 APCR, or 270 HEAT. As IS6 certainly isn't a flat fatty, and normalization plays a huge role. Push out the IS6 image to 100m, it isn't above and largely the same. +/- 5 for angle. I am not stacking anything into IS6 favour. I ran the same model with using Lowe 234 AP, 248 APCR, Bisonte 270 HEAT. You can spin it however you like. IS6 has armor. Does it have 252U armor? No it does not, and no one said it does. IS6 i very much like IS4 armor layout. Without the cupola. Not that the cupola are much trouble because they are small. same weakpots, same side profile, good turret. And tiers pretty much scale tier to tier. The only time Is4 armor works, is when it is defeating attacks from tier 8. Which is the ame bloody thing as Is6 bouncing away 6s Think whatever you like. Not going to argue over the matter. You seem to have less experience concerning it, why bother. Only an idiot think super pershing has more armor than Is6.     

Draschel:  Nopeople would remain the same.For every imbalance, there is an equaling balance. Every time you get screwed over by RNG, there are the times that you get saved big-timeEvery time that RNG takes a steaming s--- on you and you lose,  the same amount of times RNG gives you that extra snort of coke and you win. Great players like to complain about RNG, I do it all the time. But truthfully, such a change won't change much of anything. Every time we are screwed, and remember it -  we also in the near future or past, are saved,  but don't remember it.That is how RNG works. You seem to have misconception, that RNG only functions one spectrum.

Jaguarz:  Heh

churchill50: Where do you claim this rental?

Jaguarz: Problem is if its that simple to do then Wargaming must have made a conscious business decision to "lock out" existing accounts from steam for whatever reason and will likely patch over this at some point.

Jaguarz: if you were told the tanks were nerfed even if they were not touched you would swear they "played like trash now", the nerfs barely altered their core

Draschel: https://imgur.com/a/GYhUh7L I don't what you think armor is or isn't, but seems to me IS6 has armor.That is using a pretty decent 234 AP pen from Lowe. Simple angling, makes it annoying to pen.This is exacerbated, because of pref matchmaker, and all the riff raff IS6 faces more often. IS6 is alot like IS4. When used right, the armor certainly can work. Certainly for pubs. And that is where something like IS4 (and IS6) only get used. In pubs.  

Draschel:  I do not doubt that. But what does that have to do with a change of RNG?The stats of winning or losing outside of the area 40-60%, isn't because of RNG 

Draschel:  

Draschel:  No. I am implying that as soon as your opponent does make use of the 2 key, your actions can still counter theirs. As opposed to not being able to counter it.I am implying that "a lot less" is quite different than "less" 

Draschel: It depends the options available, the viability, the platform, your preferences.  Generally smaller bore, lower damage weapons that fire faster have better accuracy, lower aim-time, better dispersion values. More DPM, better handlingGenerally moderate bore, moderate sized weapons fire medium rate, have good accuracy and aim-time, and balanced DPMGenerally large bore size guns have longer aim-time, worse off gun dispersion values in rotation, and generally have slow loading, low DPM Take Jag Panther. The 88mm L71 has more accuracy and DPM than the L52 105mm. But the 105 provides more raw damage per shotT30 and T95 tank destroyer have significantly better gun handling, DPM with 120mm, but much less alpha damage and penetration. Many more examples exist like this, such as tanks like Centurion 7/1, E50, Type 61, Leopard PTA, Etc.                               

Draschel:  Can you please explain the source, your calculations, your reasoning, or other examples as to why you think your stated math would happen if RNG totals were lowered?Because many games exist, and they have lower RNG totals, and that nonsense doesn't exist in which you stated. What do you mean, 30% bad luck and loss. And a 33% buff for being a potato? That is bewildering math, and does not make sense at all. Seems very much like garble you just made up. 

Draschel:  Every time something disastrous, unlucky, unfortunate happens, we remember. We remember it, a long time. What we do not remember, is the times we screw over the enemy the same way. We never even see it, nevermind remember it. RNG happens both ways. I don't like the stuff you added, though. Numbers tend not to lie. Whereas people lie all the time.  

Einzelganger7: Butthead: "Hey Beavis! He said penetration, hehe-hehe"
Beavis: "Boioioing!"

Einzelganger7: Yeah, I also noticed that silent engine bug the first day they released the update 1.12.1. Though what I did to solve it was opening another replay, then close it and when I open the original one with the bug, the sound works again.

_BobaFett:  It's why I have him on ignore now, he literally slows my phone down loading his posts.

_BobaFett: We hit 1000 posts! 

Draschel:  IS6 is all about the armor, and pref MM. You need to involve these two, in order to truly enjoy IS6, or even 112/WZ111, T-34-3 gaming experience. Although DPM is quite a notch over tanks like Defender, 50 TP proto, Liberty  -  what is its truly effective DPM? It has trouble penetrating the majority of T8-9  

Draschel:  Do you want his examples in a Chrysler K? How about a VK7501. Or a Lowe. 112? And the tens too, Pz K VII, E100, Badger Simply put, he can make armor work using many tanks, that more or less have armor in a specific facet. It is to do with position. The position he places the IS7, works. If he was in a slow super heavy, or even just a slow hulldown heavy, his positioning would have been different. But still well thought out and properly deployed prior to. 

Draschel:  

Draschel:  Notice. "A lot less" is different from ''less''             You can counter the 2 key, by utilizing your armor to the best of your ability.   

Draschel:  I just told you one, WZ111. The fact if it is better or not is surely up-to-debate, but it certainly has superior soft stats, the issue that was brought up. IS6 has very few things good about it. The armor, and the preferential matching-up. Whereas once the DPM was strong, it has now been taken aback because of new widespread DPM buffs in the tier. T32, Tiger II, KV4, FCM50, Caernarvon, Caernaron AX, Renegade  --  these introductions and buffs, leave behind IS6 in DPM. Not to mention increases in DPM for medium tanks too, like 274A, Panther 88, STA1.  IS6 is a new player tank. A tank to not punish your mistakes with generous armor, a tank to not rush into bad flanks with slower speed, a tank to take advantage of enemies with pref 6,7,8,9 matchmaker. It isn't a professional excelling tank, because of poor speed, poor gun handling, poor reliability. Is IS6 bad? No, it is not a bad tank. Bat Chat 12t or AT-15, these are bad tanks. Is IS6 good? No, it is outdated and cannot be considered good.  No one takes you seriously. And worse yet, every post you think is a comeback to insult back at. By the way, as much as I hate to agree, Warp is in fact right. Defender and IS3A and Souma, don't compare to IS6. Solely on the fact they are not pref tanks. Tanks that best compare to IS6, are obviously 112, WZ111, T-34-3, KV5. All of them also share reasonable alpha, low penetration, derp-shot guns too.   

Draschel: Win rate is looked at, but is not so important. They may provide a number, on their Tanks Homepage, but it usually isn't dwelt on. Top clans are more concerned about A) average tier played, B) amount of and preferred tier 10 tanks, C) tier 10 tank damage per battle, D) tier 10 tank assistance.  A   is something top clans usually don't want to see in the low category. They aren't looking for low tier scrubbing. They want high tier (8-10)B   is important, constituting a basis of inventory the clan requires to operate. Do you have Chieftain? 279E? 260? VK7201? 140 or 907? STB1? T100LT, EBR105, CS63? T110E3 and 103B? Conqueror gun carriage? Not so high up clans, won't mind secondary equipment like 277, WZ1115A, 60TP, Super Conqueror, Bat Chat 25, 268 V 4, M53/M55. C + D   are what you do in these tanks, the performance. Assistance + Damage. A tank like Strv 103B may not rack up much assistance, but if you are getting 3,500 damage every game, good on you. Likewise, T100LT and conqueror gun carriage struggle with damage, but if you gain 2,000 assistance every game - again good on you. Generally a top notch clan wants to see average 3,000+ damage with heavy and medium tanks, and 4,000+ recent damage with them over your last 1,000 battles.  Another important thing with top notch clans, are platooning evaluation. Most respecting top ones do it. They want to see how you play, how you play at the moment. 

_BobaFett:  

_BobaFett:  Actually according to a recent survey 70% of players play artillery. 

_BobaFett: There are themed clans, there are casual clans, there are competitive clans, there are all sorts of clans.

There's bound to be a clan that'll accept you, for sure.

Einzelganger7: What? German 75mm guns have 135 alpha and some only do 110, not 150.

_BobaFett:  Try reinstalling the game. That got rid of it for me.

_BobaFett:  What?
