So close to a 2000xp (no premium) game. This was in a tier 10 match too.
I think it's having a server restart. I hope.
[QUOTE=Shogoll;37356966]I think it's perfectly fine. Considering WW2 tanks tended to have their engines fuck up just from revving too fast, I don't think it's right to have tanks being retarded as shit and doing crazy jumps and shit. Especially considering a lot of these tanks weigh well over 30 tons. Your normal car weighs something like 2 tons and if you drop it from 7 meters its bound to heavily damage your suspension, you can't expect something like a 45 ton tank moving at 40km/h to survive crazy 5+ meter falls undamaged. These aren't exactly rally cars you're playing with here[/QUOTE]
I would just like to say that I think your opinion on fall damage is wrong.

I've attempted shit like this in my M5, and it usually ends with broken engine, both tracks fucked, sometimes ammo rack damaged and definitely one or more crew members hurt. It's fucking stupid, honestly.
[editline]22nd August 2012[/editline]
But then again, opinions. Maybe the game would be less balanced than it is already if we could make our tanks jump realistically.

What I find even more confusing is that, if he thinks that's a Tier VIII tank, then why doesn't he make a complaint about the gun?
I like my T62. Not as fun as my Chaffee, but ~40K a battle is nothing to sneeze at.

Do you even know how that tank probably ended up? There has to be guaranteed damage on the thing there after it hit the car.

Sorry for still being a complete novice in map knowledge, but where was the cave in himmelsdorf?

I think that ammorack damage and crewmember damage is not unreasonable in a jump like that. Just traveling at a steep angle could cause problems with the ammo in tanks from that era and doing a jump like that would most certainly result in an injured crewmember.
That picture is taken from some kind of show so the tank has most likely been modified in the area of crew safety e.g adding a harness, padding, helmet ect and is carrying no ammo which means the two most likely problems a tank would face when doing something like that are eliminated.
I do agree that broken engine is ridiculous but ammo rack and crew member damage doesn't seem unreasonable. Even in modern tanks it is very uncomfortable when you go over large bumps at speed and can result in a fair few bruises on your arms and legs and this is with modern hydrogas suspension along with a modern driving position (lying down). I have personally never seen a track come off a tank due to going through a steep angle, only ever from turning too sharp at speed or trying to spin like a ballerina. I have never seen a tank jump higher than a couple feet so I can't really comment on track or suspension damage from a jump.
Maybe someone else has seen a tank do a jump or has video of it and could post it?

god i want to click one of these so bad, but i want my bonus xp.. I hate this damn tank
Given the fact that many Russian tanks used simple torsion bar suspension, it's not unlikely to have catastrophically damaged the suspension with any sort of jump.

You'll love it once you get the hang of it. It has better armor than some tds and its gun is amazing.

Get the M4 when you can research the E2. Once you get the E2 (Which is a fun tank) you can research the T20 and M6 Heavy tank, then you'll have your fingers in two lanes.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing.
This post (made by someone who is mocking them) basically sums up how the world of tanks forums are taking the panzer 4 losing the L/70.

Come on WG, put the test back up. I never even got to play it.
[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;37365458]Come on WG, put the test back up. I never even got to play it.[/QUOTE]
It will be on 8.0 test server whenever it comes online, so theres no rush.
I can't play it ever then
