Tier 1-8[/QUOTE]
If my internet stops being a dick I'd love to. I would roll with the PzIII/IV or KV-1S, we'll see what we can do.
Hella yes, just edit your post or something when youre ready, playing war thunder
Sent an application for the FPEU clan. Would be sweet if I could join you guys.
I am ready crumpet

Accepted.
Just got a whole upgraded PC and I'm still in FPEU. Maybe it's time to reinstall grindpit 20xx and grind for some virtual dosh
[QUOTE=Orkel;39992279]I posted the armor model a thread or two back, it happens because the tracks wrap around the hull, not next to it. So the shell goes through the tracks and hits the 57mm armor behind it.[/QUOTE]
Which is exactly what I said
[quote]21.3.2013
[B]- according to the wot-news.com server, the test of the 8.5 patch will start in April, while the patch itself already has a date roughly decided internally ("few weeks before May") - eg. mid April[/B]
[B]- Q: "Is there a chance bigger than 0 percent that during the big changes to the game, the significance of armor will return?" A: "000,1 percent chance is bigger than 0 :) Otherwise: no comment"[/B]
[B]- you get 1,333 times more XP for damage dealt to enemy tank you yourself light up than when someone else lit it up for you[/B]
- Storm explains why AMX ELC is not called ELC Bis: "AMX is a company, not the name of the tank, bis - means 'modification', but since our ELC doesn't include only that modification designated as "ELC bis", it's possible to remove it from the name"
- SerB regarding the same issue: "The question (SS: why it's ELC and not ELC bis) is stupid and not worthy of an answer. It's connected with the fact that modifications are not included in the names of the tanks. For example, KV-1S very often does drive around in the KV-122 modification. We won't change that either."
- the penetration values for gold shells are based on real penetration data
[B]- what will Chris Taylor and his studio work on? "no comment for now, but we won't keep him as a support staff"[/B]
[B]- the new camo system (SS: planned for 0.9.0, eg. not anytime soon) is "a separate project, aimed at the increase of importance of equipment and skills/perks improving the vehicle camouflage, on the big tanks"[/B]
- the nickname of the damaging vehicle only appears when your vehicle is critted, not when you recieve regular damage, the purpose of this is that you don't get spammed with info
- there will be no premature "in work" pictures for the client physics, when it's announced, it's going to be big, with press info and everything
- according to Storm, T-70 could not fire historically on airborne targets
- Improved ventilation does give a bonus to the Mentor perk
- there will be no "voluntary account ban/account lock" for those who don't want to play: "If you don't want to play, don't play - it's not the air, water or bread, it's completely possible to live without playing voluntarily"
[B]- if you report one player 5 times in game... you're not helping (apparently support doesn't take such spamreports seriously)[/B]
- "funny" archievements such as "lumberjack" (for running over trees) have been abandoned a long time ago in order not to encourage improper behavior in battle
[B]- people are actually already asking about what will be the next New Year present, SerB: "And do you also harass your mommy and daddy about christmas presents in March?"[/B]
Storm also wrote a new article about teamdamage - he's asking players how happy they are with the current system basically. Not too much interesting info in it (just a bunch of usual moaning). Just one thing - Storm wrote in a comment that since 0.8.4, the sniper medal is not connected with ramming. Apparently there was a bug if I understand correctly, that you lose the sniper medal when an allied moron rammed you and it's fixed now. Not sure I get it right[/quote]
Basically, it seems that the penetration overhaul/improvement will somehow help armor. Chances bigger than 0, "no comment", it's all hinting towards it. Can't wait.

So he explains it politely in case you didn't actually know, and you dumb him and snap at him? Chillaxe, bro. Besides, you already (probably) knew what you were getting into with that thing. It's really an awful tank anyways. You shoulda heard Goon crying about it :v:
Church isn't that bad tbh.

Heavens no, all the Churchills are great. Except the GC. Not enough redeeming qualities about it to classify it as "good" in my book.

I blew your T14 up last night with a normal HE round in my AT-2 on the Bayou map, you had like 5% HP left and I was over by the bridge when you trundled over to my base. 3.7 inch says Hi.

Although I would be happy to be able to reliably bounce things again, this leads me to two worries.
1. This could make APCR and other gold rounds much more important. I'm not comfortable with the fact that you might have to pay a lot of money just to be effective.
2. Soviet armor relies heavily on slopes. Any armor changes they make could very well end up as an indirect buff to many Soviet tanks and that's not something I'm too excited to hear. I know you can't change the fact that historically that's how those tanks were designed, but just in terms of overall game balance the Soviet tanks more often than not already have a lot going for them. I don't know why but I just feel like whatever they plan on changing will make angled armor more important.

Churchill VII was very easily one of the worst tanks I ever owned. I almost quit the the British heavy line because of it.

Churchill I before it is worse paper than the churchill 3 which at least gets random trolly armor. I went through it for 50k exp to get the churchill GC. Kind of questioning my ~master plan~ now.

The VII felt really solid to me, but it just fought tanks that made its armor, and therefor its slow speed, irrelevant. Damn shame.
I'll come play also

Once I got the Churchill I elited I started to like it a lot. I was doing pretty well in games with it as long as I wasn't placed into a tier 7 game.

You just said yourself why the Churchill VII sucks ass. On top of that, its gun has woefully inadequate penetration for a tank that will much more often than not be required to take tanks head on. You're not going to do any flanking at 20kph. It makes it so much harder to damage equal tier tanks than it should be. Oh yeah, and don't forget the awful gun depression that causes any tiny bump to throw your aim off.

I had the benefits of equipment, all the modules, and a 2-skill crew... and I still hated it. Somehow got 50k exp overnight though. Lots of pressing battle. And the gun depression. Why god? 4degrees... worse than the "terrible" soviet tanks.

wat. No, I said I like the tank for what it is, it's just the situations it's put in make it a shit experience.

I cannot wait for the better penetration and camo system readjustments. But I'm saying that now and they'll probably fuck it up even more than it is now.
