Second game in and some scrublord is already telling me that I'm using gold rounds because 'ap doesn't cause fires from the side, only from the front'

Apparently having 100% wins out of like 2 battles in any given low tier tank is 'stat padding'
what the fucking fuck

I have 4 tanks with 0% winratio to deliberately decrease my win rating.
Just so the scrubs won't be so jelly.

One day aaaaaaaaaaaages ago I got that PzKpfw S35 739 (f) prem for free, and because I was a fucking retard, I played three battles and sold it, thinking its worthless.
Later I actually checked what it is.
And how it does statistically.

[QUOTE=Crimor;39653852]What should I pick, KV-13 or the IS? I'd like something that's semi fast, hence why I'm thinking of going to the medium line, but heard 13 was a bit well, shite. Also got the medium line at like half way through the T-34 so not sure if the 13 would be worth it either way.[/QUOTE]
I enjoyed the KV-13, it felt more mobile than the t-43 but I played it before they changed it.

Oh wait sorry wrong tank
It's the tier 3 medium.
GLD takes the aiming time to 1.04 seconds.

[quote][B]- Q: "Dear devs, you stated the camo mechanism might change, why is it needed to change it?" A: "Because big vehicles are hard to camouflage" (SS: Hmmm... big tank camo nerf?)[/B]
- HE splash passes thru solid objects, because it's impossible to model in real time the explosion "flow" physics around them
- the hidden "module damage" shell characteristic also has +/-25 percent spread
- Churchill GC will cost 49050 XP to unlock from Churchill I
- the shell trajectories in WoT do not respond to those in real life - for example they are symmetrical, while in real life air resistance makes the trajectory asymetrical
- SerB confirms it's possible to "bend" regular shells (eg. to fire behind a hill), doesn't tell how exactly - he only suggests "perform experiements"[/quote]
So, they're nerfing German camo.
[quote][B]Q: How's it with Garage Battles?
A: No time frame for garage battles at this stage, we are thinking of a totally new concept for them and not ready to announce it just yet.[/B]
Q: New maps?
A: Neither mods nor maps were planned for 8.4. Next update will bring at least one new map.
Q: What about the E-sports and endgame?
A: Guess, you have already heard of our thoughts on promoting esports and competitive play in-game (possible new mode). We are thinking of an in-game support for 7/42 mode with skill-based matchmaking, ratings and such stuff. Full teams are much harder to find. We are going to promote other formats as well. As for CWs, I have said enough in the recent posts. We are planning a lot of changes. CW is becoming a high priority these days. Unfortunately it hasn't been so up until now.
Q: Yeah yeah ... CW. Many clans are giving up as there are some "old boys" just sitting on provinces for last two years with no way to get rid of them without nukes, so who cares anyway?
A: That's why we need regular wipes and seasons.
Q: What about duel battles for example?
A: Duels would require special maps and are likely to be a kind of entertainment for very few.
Q: What about the number of drawing/prototype tanks in World of Tanks, isn't that a problem?
A: I can't say that agree here. AT-series has got its place in game just like most of top tier German, American, Soviet, and especially French tanks that have seen no or little no service and/or combat use. If you take a closer look, I'm sure you are good at warfare history, you will see how limited was RL usage of tanks with most of the nations having only several highly reliable and popular models. Not dozens. With our numbers (200+ tanks), we don't plan to maintain 100% authenticity, borders have been watered down.
Q: Skill-based MM?
A: Skill-based MM-ing will work only for ranked battles - eg 7/42 mode.
[B]Q: Why not skill-based MM in randoms?
A: Because ordinary player shouldn't be punished for its skill, getting the hardest possible competition in every battle.[/B]
Q: Historical battles in random?
A: As for historical battles, we dont think they are suitable for random. They should contain some nicely developed PVE element. That requires time.
Q: OMG, anti-German bias!
A: There should be smth anti-german in every update. ..... Everything is good apart from the "German tanks were superior on the battlefield because they communicated and teams that communicate are superior in WOT" thing. You really need to abandon all myths.
Q: How fast will the new tank branches come?
A: Allow at least 1.5 months for each tank line.
Q: About the 8.4 test Tortoise - I am a bit confused: it has quite a weak armor (or more specifically, a huge weakspot on one of its sides). Storm wrote that it's intentional and it's compensated by high HP pool, but some people claim he was being ironic and that the Tortoise is scheduled for an armor buff (and the weakspot is a bug). How is it really?
A: Armour groups on Tortoise are messed up - half of its front hull is 38mm. Guys will see to it and fix the bugs.
Q: What about the pre-battle countdown?
A: As for "countdown is supposed be used to make a plan" there was some discussion of how to improve the situation, but it hasn't been finalized and is not in development yet.[/quote]
Unrelated note, the IS-6 is a great premium tank, sure it has no pen, but if you know how to aim it will pen most times anyway, and the rate of fire means it can actually beat other tier 8's in 1v1s.

How is a wipe going to make up for losing every match because you're bad
"- SerB confirms it's possible to "bend" regular shells (eg. to fire behind a hill), doesn't tell how exactly - he only suggests "perform experiements"
I do that all the time with some limited effect.

I don't think the effect is useful enough to be worth actively attempting to do, but i'll end up testing it later tonight to see
Its not, nor do I ever actively attempt to do so, but if someone is behind cover from you and you got a heavily arcing weapon then you can do it.
What's the 7/42 game mode he keeps mentioning?
I know the 3.7 inch on the cruiser III is pretty good for arcing over cover, that thing is p much like arty.

I used to do this with the trolljeep. (105 t82) It works with slow firing howitzers.

Yeah, most of the time the shell will end up hitting the ground in front of you.
If you want to fuck around with it get a brit with the 3", stand behind a low hill covering your entire tank, zoom out and autoaim at a tank 200-300 meters away and bam, your slow howitzer shell may or may not hit that stupid matilda who will proceed to absorb the shell with its tracks.
Victory!
Battle: Redshire 20 February 2013 19:29:44
Vehicle: Centurion Mk. I
Experience received: 4,716 (x2 for the first victory each day)
Credits received: 37,487 (compensation for damage caused by allies: 1,115)
Battle Achievements: Patrol Duty, Mastery Badge: "Ace Tanker"
Would have been 7074 exp with prem.
Sorry, out of the loop with World of Tanks.
What is a 'Garage Battle' and what is everyone waiting for with them?

A garage battle is supposed to be a mode in WoT where you take tanks from a similar tier, say an M36, M18, Jumbo and an M6, into a single battle. You play each tank until you die, and once you run out of tanks, you are out of the game. It is what War Thunder is currently using.

Except in war thunder you can carry 2 jets, a rocket plane, a bomber, a biplane, and an interceptor without tier being taken into account. Hopefully WoT's version will have a tier limit.

That'd be cool, I guess. But you'd have your arse handed to you if you only had a couple.

There would be a limit to the tanks you bring, probably 2 or 3 at the most unless they revamp the maps for it.
