Your posts consist of "laying of crack" arguments and saying that everything soviet is OP without any reasonable explanation and facts to support it.

Stormscion, on 24 December 2010 - 11:23 PM, said: I have questions about Panther II default gun. What is reason about its bad default gun ( same gun like Panther default ) while pershing and T54 get default best guns from T44 and T23 or in case of T54 even better version of 100mm.
Is this getting looked into will it be changed ?

DemonicSpoon, on 24 December 2010 - 11:31 PM, said: We did.
Overlord specifically said that companies would be matched against similarly-powerful companies.
What match-making? There doesn't appear to be any actual criteria for picking a match. Even the most basic matchmaking algorithm (like one that says "10 tier 5 mediums and a couple SPGs is not a match for a team full of IS-7s) would be a big step up from what exists now.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Does the company battle system actually compare the strengths of two teams before deciding to pit them against each other?

Are they in any way balanced? It seems a team of 9xIS-3 are "balanced" against 14xPxIV. How exactly is that supposed to be fair?
Also, does VOIP work for company battles?

Link on message: #313714

longarm12, on 23 December 2010 - 11:14 PM, said: Ok, so here is the situation. Take your T-44, Panther, or T23 before patch, you had it at elite status because there is nothing after it right? So patch day comes, they add a tank under this in the tech tree now adding more thing to train to each of these tanks which in turn should make them non elite tanks, but they still are elite.
This creates a problem when trying to use EXP for the next level of tank. How you ask, well when you open the research window, all you get is the convert exp button or crew training multiplier. No longer does this tank recieve exp and bonus exp, but also you cannot use any saved up bonus exp on these tanks to move up the tier.
solution, remove elite status from them?

FatherTyme, on 24 December 2010 - 05:02 AM, said: Play the game quit whining. Because I don't like playing a TD I die "a lot" when I do. You don't see me crying. Because you play a heavy arty HAS to be over powered because you die. medium drivers cry because the heavies are to strong and the light weights cry because they get destroyed easy.
BS. Arty is there to counter the massive amounts of heavies in the game, mediums are there to pack up and kill in groups while the light weights are there to scout. Now the whiners have whined their way into WOT's ear and everything is screwed up. If arty is to powerful then nerf the armor on the heavies then nerf the guns on the mediums, slow the scouts down, and Nerf the arty.
Until then little girls go to bed and let the men play, apparently this game is to rough and tough for you.

Link on message: #313637

Terminator98, on 24 December 2010 - 07:20 AM, said: The King Tiger's mantle armor is still pretty much paper. The +40mm is a joke. The real King Tiger had about 180mm on that mantle, I cannot understand why the devs will NOT put this thickness on that tank. It is a serious weakness that puts the King Tiger at a serious disadvantage. I've been using it since the patch and the gun module is still getting damaged everytime. I even turn my turret away to make sure that the mantlet isn't available to shoot at, or at least angle it, and still, this doesn't work.
But the thing is, I shouldn't have any need to do this. The King Tiger had an incredibly thick mantlet. It was designed to bounce off anything.
The excuse "we need it to have a weak gun because every tank has one" is lame, because the T29 has an incredibly thick gun mantlet.
I would like to see Overlord's insight on this.
If they don't want to upgrade the armor, the devs should at least make that gun spot smaller, it's way to big now. Reduce the Hitbox to the size on an IS-3, and perhaps KT owners will complain less.

ZiggyDeath, on 24 December 2010 - 01:26 AM, said: The Pershing gun is excellent only when you don't consider the chassis it is stuck onto. The platform is the slowest, least armored, meaning that it is highly vulnerable to enemy fire. Be that as it may, you want to keep her out of heavy combat. The accuracy of the gun is thus detrimental to this.
You have a Panther, can you honestly say that your T-34-85/T-43/T-44 with the D10T is even remotely as good a sniping weapon as the 88mm L/71? They aren't even in the same ballpark. You have admitted this. Now then take both Panther II and T-54, and you can immediately see they're both superior sniping platforms even if they have a lower DPM. A single missed shot on the Pershing negates her advantage over the course of a minute, not to mention the competitors can get to new locations faster.

MARMIST, on 24 December 2010 - 10:00 PM, said: Something you all don't seem to understand is that the s51 RIGHT NOW IS OVERPOWERED.
Overlord sated that the S51 right now has the power of the final SPG 8 level.
At the softwipe (or release) they're gonna be nerfed to have a powere comparable to the Hummel.
So then ther'll be a reason to move up.
Of course I don't believe the fact that the S51 will be nerfed and of course I already knew that the S51 was overpowered even if nobody had told me.
