Jaguarz:  Thinking thats paranoia and seeking victimhood, how would they know if other CCs complained? Outside of expressing a like/dislike for another CC they pretty much ignore each other except when moving viewers between them for mutual expansion. Either they did/said something bad enough to be kicked out or they produced poor quality content and were not worth keeping in the program. Theres other who should join them. Everyone wants there to be some big conspiracy theory against them but nearly every time its just you.

Einzelganger7: Typical wargaming anniversary... 

Jaguarz:  Its not "CC" behavior, its the behavior of the weak and/or manipulative/stupid, unable to refute a point they dont like they attempt to modify and distort it to create a "straw man" attack point and deviate. Its sad and pitiful behavior all too prevalent in people today.

_BobaFett: Churchill III could be a multi-nation tank too. Russian and British.

_BobaFett: One of the most toxic SPGs in the game.

_BobaFett: No free stuff for you comrade.

Jaguarz: While I have fond memories of "Will kill our arty if you kill yours so we can have a game" its far better without cross side chat imo, especially as we cant shoot our own arty now.

Draschel: How is that exactly what you said. You have had 2 responses this thread, and none were what I said, much less ''exactly'' what I said. Those brackets are not tracks. They are spaced armor panels. They appear though, virtually the same as LFP.  https://ibb.co/C5jRX0X It happens most with Chinese and Rusha tanks. As you can see, you would never be able to guess that the lower plate actually constitutes spaced armor triangles. But through experience, and of course 3rd party available programs, you find out generally the hard way in a lesson learned. When you strike spaced armor, you generally penetrate it because it is thin. But not the armor underneath or behind. Especially if angled obtuse and a ricochet, or the shot simply passes through and misses the vehicle hitbox. But hitting and penetrating the spaced armor, like gun or track shots, produces the "critical hit" and that is from the LFP  

Draschel:  What you clearly do not understand, most evidently, is that artillery rarely ''balances'' campers at all. With tracer fire being so hard to ascertain nowadays, counter battery is most wasteful. Better off hoping to whatever deity you worship, that you have an EBR on your team to yolo scout the other teams SPGs first, before their team EBR scout you. But back to SPGs and what they fire at, slow heavy tanks and assault TD are so defensive and likened to SPG hard cover, that they are willing to rather be shot by 3 tanks in direct fire and/or crossfire, than be in SPG line of sight. They cling to arty cover and shadow. They congregate in cities, ruins, rocks, whatever just to escape arty. Tank destroyers are rarely spotted, so what does artillery do? Well those that do use a map and can see red, start shooting at what is visible. Which are mostly scouting and dashing light tanks, and ridgeline medium tanks. The mediums on these ridges use the leeward arty shadow sides of the ridges for cover, but won't help them versus things like conqueror GC or S-51, which are just about vertical dropping mortars. So what you have, are teams of forward observers fighting each other, arty firing at the forward observers, heavy tanks sitting in hard urban cover boxed in corners and not leaving, and TDs not getting spotted in the back. Arty doesn't dig out camping. It causes it. That is why everyone loves the arty-free games, every single streamer nowadays you tune in to, they immediately say at the start, no arty, going to be a great game. Unless they are a light tank doing assistance missions. The only time artillery dishevels camp attempts, are organized advances and CW. Where they are used with specified purpose, and communication   

TeriyakiTanker: Not sure what you are complaining about..... they have the Grosstraktor Krupp up so that makes up for the mistake.

TeriyakiTanker: Obviously WG knew when you guys were playing each others accounts..... not sure how you didn't realize the depths to which they will go to rig your RNG.

TeriyakiTanker: Your avatar is perfect for this thread......

TeriyakiTanker: Didn't work on logging in, playing a battle, or winning a battle

_BobaFett: Memories man, memories...

_BobaFett:  Stop it, you're reminding me of the fun times...

TeriyakiTanker: Very nice! Congratulations, hopefully the first of many, especially when you are on my team.

_BobaFett: Wheeled vehicles, a few arty rebalances here and there, and some new tech trees. Graphics looks much better now, though your device will need to be much more powerful to run them.

Draschel: https://ibb.co/rZWjrW8 I know, pretty bad. I was still a muppet at the time, please forgiveness. I do have both in my garage, but I have tonnes of tanks no longer played. But again, long time ago. I think I played panther maybe 1 battle since it received the L100 75 (and that was forever ago) which was a mistake. I wanted to take out Panther M10 and instead readied it, THINKING it was the panther M10 as they are both panthers, and both right beside one another in carousel. That battle I got the (M) badge,  lol..... as Mastery badges didn't even exist the time I played through it. As you can see with my VK3601. If I were to redo them, I am thinking VK3601, which is hefty better, because of konisch and mega HP. 1300 + 2-300 combined?Panther is bleh, just because you can penetrate tier 9s like none other doesn't really equate to much, 135 alpha. Say 1600 + 4-500 combined?    

Draschel: You know, I agree.  For once, you are most correct. I never drove Tiger. Imagine that.  I went through Panther.  You are welcome to see my VK3601 and Panther if you wishBut hey......I did them like 2012,  and they are sad face. 

Draschel: Doing all the things right, contribute to more wins. Why you are winning, per se - I am not sure. I will though check, right now. the blah blah blah blah argument works both ways. Talk is cheap. You post absolutely no analysis, yet you think there is merit. In fact most hypocritical, because you said it yourself. That argument, you said you played tiger some, without the perks we have today.A hypocrite, too. Nice. As I said, we can be here for 1 year. It won't matter. You aren't going to listen to me, for whatever reasons. And I won't listen to your nonsense, because no self respecting person in he right mind is settling for a patch 1.12    1.1damage + 300assistance tiger. Maybe 2012. and with tiger P, not H  

Draschel: Tiger H has a few competitors, and is an outstanding positional and tournament DPM tank. Competition include A45 premium tank. IS  running the 100. AMXM4  running APCR and 105. Carro running 88. Out of all these, Tiger has the most DPM (+75 over 2nd place, and 2nd does 150 not 280)  and is tied for most HP and VR. Out of all, it also has the most alpha except AMX broke as f--- premium. Again, among all, it has most accuracy and shell velocity Tiger pays the price though, it is slowest. And you are taking that tank to med flanks? 

Draschel: I never said winning isn't important. All I said is performance is the most important. Winning is but one, easily exploitable part of performance.Can you win, cause damage, assistance damage, survive, kill, block, highest hit%  -> all these things. These all sum performance. 

Draschel: https://ibb.co/yfHb7Wf Let us take a moment to look at all facets. This person, I wouldn't say exceled at the tank, did great, Etc. He did fine. I consider this fine. But......caveats. This person did this tank, a long time ago. I am talking, real long. When +3/-3  MM still existed, and gold ammunition cost real gold. He did it, starting by using the L56 too, from VK3601 and grinding up to elite status. When boosters didn't exist, blueprints didn't exist. He did so, when there wasn't the tiers 1-6 HP buff, a whole tonne more of HP for T-7s to farm. He did this, without 2.0 equipment, without repair wrench and first aid kit being re-useable. He did it when fire ext had to be manual, unless you purchased auto for gold. He did this, when Tiger didn't have 240 alpha even it was 220, aim-time was 2.9, and when Tiger gun dep was -6 only. Needless to say, I know this, because I know the person in question. I've known him, for decades. Now, I can turn and ask this person, is Tiger H better with 280 alpha, more potential damage, better aim time?  Or is it better if it still fired faster with 240. Just think, think real hard, what his answer would be. If he were to replay it, and he has on another account which has it 3-Moe. I'd expect 2K damage, 500 assisted easily. Maybe more.   

Draschel: As far as I can tell, the better players agree with the fact, Tiger has been generally buffed. AvalonChurchThe CC, Casual I can watch any professional, effective, high performance streamer and ask them, is Tiger much better now that it was, 1.7 or so, and they will say yes, it is.  Arguing over the internet is futile. I can't convince you. Could you convince me? Doubtful, because powers far greater than you, have convinced me prior about the topic at hand. You can believe whatever you wish. I can believe whatever I wish. But performance is different than belief. Performance requires doing, knowledge to do, accepting what something does and does well, positioning, numbers, Etc. And you seem lacking there. I just do not see the point to casual complaining. Unless it is certainly something with utmost merit to complain about, that every goes on and on about. Like arta, or 25%RNG, or camo, or +2/-2. But you are complaining about something dumb that no one will feel slighted or take notice of, except you.  

Draschel:  Did you read? Notice. You didn't notice, because you don't care. You only care about, what you want. Not overall purpose, performance, but what you want. That is exactly why you don't live up to the tank's potential. And are satisfied with mediocrity.  Who are people going to believe? 

Jaguarz:  Whats not unique about it? Its fast, heavy, well armoured and has no glaring drawbacks, it will also allow you to get any heavy/german ramming missions done easily in the campaigns.

Draschel: How many times have you noticed, and complained about trading 280 instead of 240? Half tier 8 meds still do 240. Of course you don't notice it. As a needless complainer, you naturally complain.You have a reasonable shot to 1-hit tier 5 SPGs with AP, and can 1-hit all w/ HE (even LefH18) except bishop. With AP you 2-shot all tier V TD except AT2. And you don't notice, of course.How about all the game savers when the 1-hit is at 250 HP and you have to pray for 240 high roll, well now you get 280. Complaints? Of course not.Who said anything about sniping, that is you. The only one complaining about the buff is you. I like the ability to trade 280+280 instead of 240+240, without a DPM loss, and better gun handling.  

Draschel: Proper fixable solutions for SPGs not even on the list.Either: 1)Make them tanks destroyers, and appropriately buff their HP, view range, aim-time, accuracy, DPM. Give them normal HE rounds, and HEAT as premium2)Limitation of 1 per side, nerf their penetration by 80% to remove the unfair and common roof / deck pens. Decrease splash damage but place in minimum damage effects Decreasing splash damage, but allowing for minimum damage effect, are very important. SPGs should not be like T92 or S51 in respective tier, miss the target by 7m and still splash for 400 damage. Likewise, the polar opposite is needed too. A poor SPG like Bat Chat 158 should not be directly hitting Maus or Type 5, and  dealing  0  damage critical with that hit. Fairness operates both ways. Decrease the damage dealt by non penetrating splashes, however remove those obnoxious 0 damage direct hits that not only infuriate artillery but also massively buff armored tanks. This is a huge problem, because artillery understands this by experience, don't want to waste shots, and instead focus on light and medium tanks, that they can actually damage reasonably, rather than assisting the team more and focusing on things like Maus and E100 

Draschel: I think the Renegade is far superior.That being said, E75TS is german and not an american tank, so compared to VK7501 or Lowe I would say E75TS is betterE75TS like lowe has some problems. The engine is considered in the front, so you frequently get engine module damage with LFP damaging shots. Another thing, is the horrendous AP/APCR penetration drop over range. Though the numbers maybe high like Lowe, they dramatically reduce over distance travelledother high penetrate tanks like Renegade,  KV4/KV4 kres/274A,  Somua/Liberty don't have this pen drop  

_BobaFett:  Damn, it was right there this whole time. I feel stupid. Thanks.

DeviouslyCursed:  Okay, I must still be slightly drunk or something, because when I read your post I thought you had typed "17 penguins" which was a lot funnier, actually, lol.

_BobaFett: I haven't seemed to figure it out after 3 years of using the forum. Would anyone be willing to educate me? Basically, I want to post a link that looks like YouTube and goes to youtube.com.

DeviouslyCursed:  It is a scary moment when you wake up with a hangover, trudge out to the computer, and see your wallet sitting next to it.

Jaguarz: His pronunciation of Shhhkoda was annoying.....

_BobaFett: Just leave already. It's obvious that you don't enjoy the game, why continue to play?

_BobaFett: I own it. It's nothing special.

Jaguarz:  A perfect example of straw man in effect ladies and gentlemen.

TeriyakiTanker: You need to post the replay so we can tell you what happened..... no replay no spying.

Draschel:  I know it is as the Biblical Parable,  The Unforgiving Servant Parable:  Found within Book of MatthewsBiblical upbringing and all, now of course don't care too much about religion but the lifestyle lessons stick with you. Of course, many would just colloquially refer to it as ''hypocritical prick''  

Draschel:  I just did. Would it pain you to read it?Certain tanks, like Centurion RAAC, Centurion AX, 112, 113, T-22, 907 - there are many out there. They have LFP brackets supporting the chassis and suspension. They are modeled in Live View, as very undiscernible from the rest of the LFP, so are easily mistaken for LFP and the actual hull body of the vehicle. But these brackets isntead aren't part of the hull but are exterior, rather just extrra slabs of spaced armor. Hitting these, produce 'critical hit' but actual tank body beneath isn't penetrated for damage.  Hitting armor first and ricocheting into tracks, doesn't produce auditory 'critical hit'  As it is ricochet, or bounced off the commander yells out first, because the shot deflected first.  

Draschel:
