Some punk told me to reinstall the game, I'm assuming some things have changed since I last played which was sometime before the introduction of british tanks (i think)

[QUOTE=Taggart;39946438]yeah but it already doesn't work purely on LOS anyway as we all know
I've had Churchills and other large tanks literally disappear infront of me with half of their hull popping out of a bush despite my gun always being trained on them without LOS ever being broken[/QUOTE]
It does work on LOS, in addition to the 45m proxy range, and camo (tank + environment) vs. spotting (tank - environment) ranges.
Aside from proxy spotting, the only reason you stay lit outside of LOS is because of the spotting frequency checks by the server not being nearly as quick as they should be (to reduce server load they say).
Also, tanks can disappear when they "should" be lit for several reasons, mainly it's to do with modifiers to tank and environment camo; moving reduces tank camo (sans for light tanks) and shooting massively reduces tank camo and any environment camo within 15m (I think it's 15m). So, if a tank just shot, you might have LOS and spotted it, then as their camo "recovers" from shooting, they disappeared.
As to someone being spotted behind a corner then pulling out and disappearing, it's likely because the spotting check updated right before they pulled out.
Now, I'm not trying to defend the system, because it has its issues, I'm just trying to explain why the problems exist to the best of my knowledge. After all, knowledge is power, and knowing how the system works means you can make it work in your favor, and understand what's happening when it doesn't.
I am starting to get fed up with this game.
Almost every match, me and my friend, both at T3 are getting put into matches against T5 players, rendering us fairly useless against their powerful tanks.

Heh, the anime Girls und Panzer mentions World of tanks :v:

IIRC the actual translation is just "online tank game" but most of the people who do subs put World of Tanks on over it for some reason. I guess it is kinda implied.

It's just some really bad luck man. Personally I've got 66.7% winratio on it and I believe yours will improve as well.

I really should grind credits to get a tier 9 tank, but I suddenly have the urge to buy the Pzkpfw3/4 again.
Will the tanks ever stop sounding like tractors? Are there any sound mods for the engines?

there's a gun sound pack by the same guy, which is pretty cool.
also, despite my crew being less skilled (90% vs 100%) and having the exact same equipment fitted (vents + rammer), the caernarvon has a reload time of 3.7 where the prince had 4.2 - what's going on there?

In game engine terms, the turret defines the reload time of it's weapons. Because Caernarvon and Black Prince don't share turrets (no tank actually does), they are different. High tiers using lower tier guns tend to have an improved rpm. If you look at the property box of a weapon, it will display a range of RPM (if it is used more than once), from the lowest to highest turret. This can sometime be different for other statistics too, like aim time/accuracy.
woah

ahhhh, that's pretty awesome actually. it also puts an answer to some of the questions myself and the two guys i frequently play with had about gun stats.
thanks :)
I guess I should have seen this coming, but I really dislike the panther so far.
I have top everything except the top engine,(which may be it's saving grace). It's fun every once in a while when you are sniping from far away, but a tank destroyer could do a better job.
Probably by the time I get the panther 2 I will understand how to support snipe. I mainly get flustered when people get close to me because of the piss poor armor/gun depression/turret traverse. (I do try to sandwich people against terrain/houses which is pretty fun I'll admit)
I should have seen this coming as more than once I have 1 on 1 beat a panther in my ARL44, but whatever. I have a new challenge to overcome.
I am getting a first hand feel of the QQ people have with the Germans.
At least the leopard 1 will give me gun depression and maneuverability when I get there. *hope*

Except the panther isn't part of the Leopard I line.
And if you meant the E-50M, it's awful, it's a cruel joke by WG to punish German players for complaining about the gearbox move on the E-50.
