T-54 will start with 100mm D-10T gun and the 2nd gun is going to be 100mm LB-1.

Archives\Junkyard\What if Hitler was a Girl.Link on message: #215187
ARGO: Just for the sake of this post let's say Hitler was indeed a female
and came out exactly the same "ideals wise" as she did as a male.
Let's think about this.....SERIOUSLY.
Hitler as a women would and could have been far more dangerous and or successful. Don't ever make the mistake of underestimating the power of a women.
Fact, women motivate men.
Fact history has MANY female heroins who lead armies if I remember correctly and they were twice as vicious as their male counterparts.
Fact, Hell hath no fury like a women's scorn.
Hitler would have a better weapon in addition to his ability to draw a crowd now he has sex on his side, How many more people would listen to a women over a man? Think about it. Women in that time period would have been in awe of such a powerful women, they may even have idolized him/her. And God forbid he was a really good looking women. To end this I would say if my hunch is correct and all things were the same with Hitler except his sex, then the way they fought the war may have been very very different.

by WW2 even when I was a kid it was talked of little. A lot of
people these days have no idea how unbeleivably devastating WW1
really was until they see pictures like this. I really do hope also
that WoT Devs put some the WW1 battles + more WW1 tanks in the game
too. I think they could get some great map ideas from that
footage.

you have been playing without premium account all the time, I can
say that your performance on M4 Sherman is better than average
performance of both T-34 and PzIV.
Your stats: win rate - 51%, survival rate - 19%, exp per battle - 323.
T-34 / PzIV average stats: win rate - 50% / 49%, survival rate - 15% / 18%, exp per battle - 274 / 279.
As for M4A3E8, the figures are less impressive.
Your stats: win rate - 48%, survival rate - 14%, exp per battle - 330.
T-34-85 / VK3601H (the most popular German tier 6 medium) average stats: win rate - 49% / 50%, survival rate - 17% / 20%, exp per battle - 325 / 335.
Without making any conclusions, just hollow figures.

What I find is odd though, is why is a Live server getting things befor a Beta Test server, in all the other beta tests I have been involved in, it was the other way around from what I am seeing now.
The only thing that comes to mind is a bit of favortism and that some of my fellow Americans tend to whine a lot so not as objective do to to much patriotism after all, with a game on based on history, most people like their side to kick more ass right or wrong.
Just curious.
zmeul, on Nov 06 2010 - 16:57, said: the M4A3 with T26 and 90mm M3 gun is out of place with the current
premium tanks
the premium tanks so far are from "land-lease" (Mathinda, Valentine, M3 Stuart), captured ones or wierd hybrids like PZ V-IV or KV-220; but the M4A3-T26 will break this circle and provide an clear advantage over any M4s present in the tech tree
you speak of adding the M4A3E8 Jumbo to the list, but isn't that pointless since the hull will most likely be less armored than the M4A3E8's and with the same 76mm M1A1 gun!??!?
I see U added the M4A5 to the mix as the RamII but as a premium tank
why not add the M4A6 in the regular tech tree instead of the Jumbo?

Overlord: No wonder that the crow thinks its own bird fairest.
Russian server traditionally gets updated first, since Russian beta started long before international beta test. Moreover supertests necessary for rough testing of any new content are conducted with Russian testers mostly.
Since all the release features haven't been added yet, Russian version is not live in full sense of the word. It is needed to polish international one, that 's why it has gone "live" quite early.
We do understand the fact that release version gets updates prior to beta version may seem weird.

statistics in armor, turret rotation, and engine power and on top
of that refused to give it the kind of upgrades that it not only
needs to be competitive, It fits every single requirement to be
added to the game as an upgrade to the stock M4A3E8. It was a
legitimate prototype, and at least one was made. Not only that, but
the Sherman chassis could actually take the upgrade which is more
than can be said for some of the other tanks and their upgrades
(Pz.Kpfw IV with the Schmallturm and 7.5-cm L/70 for one.)
Quote That is the epitome of ridiculous.
And now you're telling us that a bandaid solution to the problem requires us to pay real money just to have an armament that competes with other vehicles in that tier? Are you serious, Overlord? I realize that you're only the messenger, but that's just plain unbelievable.

Check them first, give your well-grounded opinions afterwards.
If needed for balance purposes, the the respective (US) tanks will be adjusted to match their Soviet and German opponents. To maintain decent variety of vehicles we need to be hmm creative in designing lists of researchable and premium tanks.

When your sitting waiting for the battle to start, look around at the other tanks and when you see those IS, IS3, IS4, IS7s and KV3s remember that they were all in your tank at one time.........You can do it even without premium trust me, I was there too.

Unless your crew is at 100% then the specs you see for the tank aren't how your tank will perform. Only a 100% loader can give you the shots/min spec, etc.

Ok......but
How do they explain why a tank could be sitting next to the flag at the same distance out in the open at the same range and you still do not see him until you literaly trip over him and he already has his cannon pointed at you?
Or for that matter if your tracking a moving tank across an open field, you track it then it disappears and the crew fix the track while you are shotting at the space the tank "should be" and no hits?

ARGO: Steelers708 is right,
At that close range bush or no bush, you should by all ways and means be able to see a tank and light it up. That is absurd and I will say it as many times as needed. Also once you have seen a tank, you should KEEP seeing the tank until it moves beyond your normal vision range or behind something. I agree, this is not Star Trek, they did not have cloaking devices in 1939-1955.....absurd! I have seen this way to many times and YES I believe it is wrong and something should be done. I mean seriously, look how close the Ferdy is to the goal and besides, if he can clearly see the tank is capping then why can't he see the tank?
BTW, that bush is NOT within the goal circle either......

Here you clearly see the repair costs for JT are not cheaper then the Ausf-B or IS-4.
Also did it cross your mind that the JT with the L61 each shot is 1.8k. I sometimes do 10-15 shots per round, that is more then 10k - 15k credits gone. And I don't the think the IS-4 their shells are that expensive. I know the Ausf-B shells are cheaper, because he is using the L55 (stock gun on JT).
I will upload some screenshots later on today when im home. Then you can decide yourself. Because I do get same repair bills then Ausf-B and IS-4.

Overlord: Your screens wouldn't prove anything. I do understand what you base
your estimates on, but I have overall statistics at my disposal
which takes into account all the battles and all the players.
So further arguing what's cheaper or more expensive is absolutely pointless.
Average repair bills for Tier 9 heavies are currently approx 40% higher than the ones for JagdTiger.

ThaTrip, on Nov 03 2010 - 21:26, said: Ok I just figured out something bad. Which I really don't like.
In the 0.6 patch. The price for repairing the Ferdinand or the JagdTiger will be increased.
Ferdi will get increased repair bill with 10%
JT will get increased repair bill with 20%
So I made another thread. Asking what the repair costs are of other Tier9 Tanks (Ausf-B and IS-4)
And I found out that they are around the same repair costs of the JagdTiger.
So I don't understand why the devs decided to increase it on the JagdTiger (I also think Ferdi is not cheap repairing comparing it with other Tier8 tanks)
Also it's not that the JagdTiger outperforms a IS-4 or Ausf-B easily with killing tanks etc.
So now here we are fellow German tank Destroyers we are getting adjustments for our tanks. And it's not a good.
That is why I made this poll. Vote people. And if you vote NO. Please tell me why you think the Ferdi or JT deserves to get increased repair bills. Don't flame please

higher than JagdTiger's repair costs respectively.

Good to know, just before the last wipe I remember peeps saying that you could not and they needed to set it to count up to 5,000 to accomodate the 3,000 the devs gave us and stuff about not allowing more than 3,000 in an account. So if you do have let's say 7,000 it will register on your screen as 7,000 and not 3,000+.....Now I know I remember reading it somewhere before the last wipe but I will take your word for it.

It is accurate, I drive a maxed out VK3601H and I had to hit a S-51 no less than 3 times with my 88mm using HE to kill it at point blank range. A Hummel takes 2 shots, Bison 1.
