Draschel: I just want to reiterate the overall faults and blunders, and place emphasis on the delusion of complaints. - Even if he DID spot the guy knocking over debris in that red circle, he is not importantly, x200 more importantly, spotting the 3 guys in cap winning the game. Heck is the point of that? Moot, weak- Rather than noticing his bad position himself, rather than using gun depression and an autoloader with mobility and helping.....he seeks to complainAnd worse, complain about crap not understood to begin with 

_BobaFett:  The compensation for the nerf was negligible. It's still a nerf as far as I'm concerned. 

Jaguarz: gratz

Jaguarz: Theres a history of this, the EBR was slated to be for sale during one month (months ago) and they pulled that too.

_BobaFett: Reroll arty main.

BTW, better cover up the name before you get a strike for name and shame.

Draschel: This is a common thing. And commonly people wonder why.-why are my teams bad,  while.....I sit still and do 1 shot of damage in 9min in an autoloader-why can't I spot the cap or a tank knocking over obstacles in my view, while.......I have bad over watching position with line of sight being blocked, and what I am trying to spot is ninja Even 90 By the way, could have been Udes. Udes, if using Low noise, 100% camo, B in arms, food, +ventilation slot, purge - will still have an astounding 36+ camo value, WHILE MOVING, Bourque can manage 34.5    

_BobaFett: Give it 1 or 2 more years and they might touch it ever so slightly. It's almost been 2 years since the nerf.

_BobaFett: English article up now. http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/645268-s-t-t-56-skoda-loading-into-battle/page__pid__12806185#entry12806185

KRZYBooP: Howdy Boom Jockeys Soon, the Škoda T 56, a Tier VIII Czechoslovakian heavy tank, is coming to the Supertest.The vehicle is equipped with a 130 mm caliber, 2-shell autoloader. Its damage per shot is 460 HP, with a reload time between shots within the magazine of 4 s, and a magazine reload time of 25 s. The penetration values of the standard (AP) and special (HEAT) shells are 208 and 290 mm, respectively. The aiming time is 2.9 s, and the gun dispersion is 0.4 m.In terms of survivability and mobility, this is a typical heavy tank. The thickness of the frontal turret armor reaches 220 mm, with a durability of 1,500 HP. The vehicle has a specific power of 13.5 h.p./t which enables it to reach speeds of up to 35 km/h.The Škoda T 56 stands out primarily for its gun, but its other parameters are decent, too. The combination of high firepower and decent survivability allows this heavy tank to perform effectively in any combat situation.   

_BobaFett:  I thought about elaborating but the tank is just overall bad so I just left it at that.

_BobaFett: If you could stick to the original article that would be great...

churchill50: As mentioned in the April preview article, NA will be getting discounts and missions this weekend.Who knows what they will be though, or why they haven't been announced yet.

_BobaFett:  It occurs at 4:54

_BobaFett: Fair and balanced.

stabbymckill: Good morning Tankers,
Excellent news for fans of French autoloaders, the Somua SM tier VIII heavy tank returns to the premium shop! Enjoy special pricing on this vehicle from today April 9 through April 16. Catch all the details in the article here. Happy tanking!

_BobaFett: E 75 TS: Great tank, performs well in the current meta. 112: Garbo. Avoid. CAX: Not bad, but the low alpha holds it back. Some consider the regular Caer to be better. IS-3A: Devastating if you can connect all 3 shots, but the extremely high dispersion makes that difficult. Depends on if you like the Russian heavy playstyle or not.  If I were going to buy one of these, I would go for the E 75 TS.

_BobaFett:  Likely a marathon tank.

_BobaFett:  Not really. They make so much they don't have to care. 

_BobaFett: I'm glad I don't drink.

_BobaFett:  The only time I run a camo net on any of my TDs is when it can't run Vents and IRM isn't viable. Those scenarios are not common.

MA77: ¡Saludos, Comandantes! Muy pronto, Škoda T 56, un tanque pesado checoslovaco de nivel VIII, se unirá al Supertest.  Este vehículo monta un cañón de 130 mm con un autocargador de dos proyectiles, capaz de infligir 920 puntos de daño (460 puntos de daño alfa por proyectil) en 4 segundos (ese es el tiempo de recarga entre un proyectil y otro), luego de cargar por completo en 25 segundos. El cañón utiliza proyectiles AP (munición estándar) y HEAT (munición especial), que pueden perforar 208 y 290 mm de blindaje, respectivamente. El tiempo de apuntamiento es de 2,9 segundos, y la dispersión es de 0,4 a 100 metros. En términos de supervivencia y movilidad, este es un típico tanque pesado. El grosor del blindaje en el frontal de la torreta alcanza los 220 mm, y los puntos de vida alcanzan los 1500. El tanque alcanza los 35 km/h con una potencia específica de 13,5 CV/t. El Škoda T 56 se destaca sobre todo por su cañón, pero sus otras especificaciones son aceptables también. La combinación de un gran poder de fuego con una supervivencia decente le permite a este pesado ser eficiente en casi cualquier situación de combate. Como siempre, recuerden que todos los valores están sujetos a cambios de acuerdo a los resultados de las pruebas. ¡Dejen sus opiniones! ¡Mucha suerte en el campo de batalla!

_BobaFett: Added the statistics. English article is not up yet.

MA77: Saudações, comandantes. Em breve, o Škoda T 56, um tanque pesado de Nível VIII da Checoslováquia, irá chegar ao Superteste. 
O veículo tem um carregador automático de 130 mm com dois projéteis. O tempo entre os disparos é de 4 s, porém, quando você precisar recarregar o carregador por completo terá de aguardar longos 25 s. O projétil AP (padrão) tem 208 mm de penetração e o HEAT (especial) 290 mm com 460 HP de dano médio, que fazem uma boa combinação com os 2.9 s do tempo de mira e 0.4 de dispersão.
Em termos de capacidade de sobrevivência e mobilidade, este é um pesado clássico. A espessura da parte frontal da torre chega a 220 mm e o veículo conta com 1.500 HP, além disso, ele tem uma potência específica de 13.5 hp/t que lhe permite atingir velocidades de até 35 km/h.
O Škoda T 56 se destaca principalmente por seu canhão, mas seus outros parâmetros também são decentes. A combinação do grande poder de fogo e capacidade de sobrevivência decente permite que este tanque tenha um desempenho eficaz em qualquer situação de combate. Não se esqueça de deixar o seu feedback aqui no tópico! Grande abraço. 

_BobaFett:  Two shot 460 alpha auto-loader with a 4 second inter-clip reload and a 25 second clip reload. Something of a "heavy Bourrasque", as QB puts it. 

_BobaFett: The game was more fun with cross chat in my opinion

DeviouslyCursed: If you've ever said "this is my last beer" and then had another one after that, give me a +1!

DeviouslyCursed:
Definitely cheats Cheat is so crazy it destroyed your link too.

DeviouslyCursed: Mojoko  go!

Einzelganger7: The game is not Full Metal Jacket to watch somebody pretending to be Sergeant Hartman just because you can, the game is in fact clasified as T by the ESRB (13+) so be at least mature enough to have a proper languaje, otherwise enjoy constant chat bans from now on.

Draschel: That's just obnoxious. You are the first player I've met who denounces the changes. And let me tell you the people I watch who love the changes are considerably more capable. I will let the DPM slide, because +5 DPM means nothing. But it is noteworthy to still state, no loss of DPM despite gaining alpha. In fact, you GAIN some.But 0.02 aim-time, 40 alpha, 3,000 extra potential damage does mean something. 7.69 fire rate will still perm-track things, and is only slower than IS running 100 or Carro running 88 - both of which you stunningly have +30 alpha and +175 DPMAll for 150 extra silver per shot, and a loss of 1.3rds/min. If you were -----ssssssoooooo---- concerned about rate of fire, contesting mediums, DPM, tracking...? why not use the L56  88? The argument doesn't make sense You are squabbling over nothing. Tiger II is the issue here. And VK4502A. Why didn't Tiger II get DPM like Caernarvon? 32 pdr way better than L71 88, and on a better platform. Tiger H has the DPM Tiger II does, where is the up-scale tiered effect? Why not even at least Caernarvon AX or STA1 DPM? Both those tanks have better mid-bore guns too 

Jaguarz: What interests me is why those effected were "selected" so to speak. Someones personal "naughty" list? Last X people to log in?

Draschel:  Trust me, it has been explained. Not the first, won't be the last.Listening to the explanation, heeding it  -  now that is the issue. Even in another 30,000 battles the question will still be asked

Jaguarz:  Depends on other peoples performance, position isnt assured until the end. When I finished Ranked I was 32nd with a buffer of around 110 people between me and Silver league, now Im 62nd with a buffer of 227. Theres zero reason for me to play ranked as I dont enjoy it at all. Incidentally its much easier to be gold league in the EU (110%) compared to NA (140%) and the EU has 1431 in gold league (7155 in leagues total) while the NA server has 289 people in Gold league (1445 people in leagues total). Pretty eye opening difference.

Jaguarz: Moron is on the automated ban script list, its not a one shot ban word unlike others, as far as I gather you have to use it X times in Y period of time

Jaguarz: "he's got cancer" a malignant growth or tumor resulting from the division of abnormal cells. plural noun: cancers "most skin cancers are curable"     a practice or phenomenon perceived to be evil or destructive and hard to contain or eradicate. "gambling is a cancer sweeping across the nation"      Yeah but having some semblance of perspective removes the faux outrage people use to try and crush opinions they dont like without actually having to refute it, its far easier to latch onto a words usage than to counter.

_BobaFett: How can people berate other people and expect to not get punished for it? It's honestly mind-boggling.

Draschel:  Seems very odd. To comment on someone not having manners, and being rude to them yourself. 

Draschel: That is a very low number, for 56% W/R. And that is a very high games played, as such low game variance in pop effecting average won't matter. Something doesn't fit. At any rate, damage farming (the exception being low tier /SA server) generally is a myth. Perhaps not ultimately a myth, but >90% of the time. More. Generally if someone is dealing blue or purple, 2nd and 3rd mark-like numbers reliably they are going to have a high resultant win rate. Very rarely, is it going to be lowerThe idea of chasing damage and spotting, happens whenever i play or watch streamers, isn't as common as people talk trash about. Avoid ''about shirking the win for glory''What would I rate it in happening over given time? once in seven battles? once in ten? That is quite low, and doesn't define ''lifestyle'' choicesLikewise, if someone has a high win rate, but low dealt and survived - that is suspect unless few games are played and singular instances sway much. Or heavy platooningDo I have proof? Of course not, I am working with probabilities.  I define non-low tier, as tiers 7,8,9,X. Mostly, if you are dealing, over what you remarked, 700 games I think, 56%......I'd expect to see a whole heck lot more than tier 6 damage.  

Draschel:  W/R is just one piece of the puzzle. Notice how I didn't say damage? That again, is a piece of the puzzle. But instead I used combined. Combined is also a piece of the puzzle, but in it's nature it is a larger piece....or, perhaps interlocked pieces. We don't really have a better metric than that, as there is no individual basis by basis PR, not that I at least know of. Which would be great, as PR encompasses W/R, combined, survival, exp, kill ratio Target damage on target damage.com is catered for reliable quick marking. The session'ists. This makes it more intense, than it *really* is, as it provides a solid goal for increasing your %  But this doesn't rule out the steady marker. You see these steady markers, all around all the time. I won't use T5-6 examples, because they are poor ones because of the tiers 1-6  HP  boost. But E25 is common. The amount of E25 I see third-marked, and the players average 1.5-1.6? 1.8-2k combined, there are many. That is barely enough for 85%, as you see. But they do so, over a S-T-E-A-D-Y plan of 1,000 games. How about 3,000. Always performing that slight hair width over the cycled weighted averages. And yes, they slowly mark the tank. Are they like orzanel or skill4ltu or iyouxin, circon? Whomever you watch that does this pro  -  to third mark a tank in 150 games? No, and that is what target damage.com numbers are set for.     

Draschel:  Not always the case.
