[QUOTE=scout1;40229792]This you say after going on about how you've given up on the 150 and will use the 128??[/QUOTE] Scout, you know very well that the E-100's 150 [i]without HEAT[/i] is [i]THE WORST[/i] T10 gun. While I enjoy it with the 128, I can acknowledge that it is very far from being considered good for pub matches with the 150. If you wish to not use gold ammo in pub matches, then the E-100 isn't for you. Although in my opinion the 128 makes it quite a bit better, but it's still far from the best. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] Also do note that I think the German tanks are for those who are more skilled since they get shafted by WG, so the fact that the E-100 is the way it is makes it more challenging to play, I like that.

150mm with HEAT is one of the most raping guns, an E-100 armed with that is able to solo any other t10 heavy in the game.

Sure, you have to really aim with AP, but it can still pen and you can still rack up the damage.

[QUOTE=Orkel;40233222]150mm with HEAT is one of the most raping guns, an E-100 armed with that is able to solo any other t10 heavy in the game.[/QUOTE] No doubt about that, but for those who, like me, don't like firing only gold in pubs, then the 150 is fairly useless till you get really close to your enemies to hit weak spots. With HEAT it's a fucking monster of a gun.

I think WG neglects German tanks to keep players spread out between nations, since most people associate WW2 tanks with Germany and play those tanks?

[quote]- Q: "In 8.5, the Konisch gun damage for regular and gold shells was made the same, is it realistic?" A: "As soon as you provide us with the real life data on Konisch gun damage (measured in hitpoints), we will make it realistic" - when smoke (as cover) is introduced, the cover mechanism of various objects (haystacks, walls etc.) won't be changed (they won't be added as camoproviding objects), there are too many of them - various tanks have various tracks hitbox models, these models do not depend on the type of the suspension (torsion bars, Christie etc.), rather than on its shape - you do recieve credits for caused module damage - the archievements for the XP class badges (3rd Class to Master) for arty won't be revised - trophy (captured) tanks will not be made for now - some branches have regular vehicle - arty transfers, it is not yet clear what will happen to those transfers when the arty is stretched to tier 10, apparently they won't disappear all - KV-1S to SU-152 transfer won't be implemented [B]- the Chinese TD and arty branches are not yet prepared, let alone modelled, no details will be told now[/B] - shell (trajectory, impact) system won't be modified, it would get too complicated [B]- 0.8.5 test 2 will have a few minor bugs fixed[/B] - Ferdinand won't be separated into the Elefant and Ferdinand tanks, because those two tanks are practically identical [B]- T-62A was the "ugly duckling" tank, the developers didn't want to implement it, but had to because they didn't find any proper alternative.[/B] - the escort mode was tested but the devs decided it's not working and decided to scrap it - WG cooperation with (implementation of) Raidcall, Teamspeak or Mumble? "No comment" - Matilda 1 and Char 2C plans? "If there are any, I will tell" - IS-3, IS-8 and 110 won't get a frontal armor buff on the spot where lower plate and upper plate meet - it's not yet clear whether the Chinese TD branch will containt SU-100 and SU-152 copies - Q (by a player named Mishkas88): "Will there be any changes in German tank properties in 8.5 test 2?" A: "No. And that 88 means you were born in 1988, right?" :) - there are many factors as to what premium tanks will be implemented and what not - apparently, the Chinese TD's are a mess - there is enough material to make two branches of them, but the devs are still thinking how to make it all fit together [B]- somewhere in the next few patches there will be a sound re-work, but music re-work is unlikely[/B] - new anti-aliasing is scheduled for middle future (not as bad as distant - usually refers to 6 months - 1 year or so) - there will be a new WG video, possibly explaining the shell penetration trajectory inside tank - it's possible Korean War will appear in historical battles, Vietnam War most likely won't - in the future, the sound engine will be updated [B]- visibility range restriction removal - doesn't have high priority, definitely won't come in 2013-2014[/B] - HE shell splash has the shape of a sphere, not a circle - the weird 2nd anniversary garage (SS: more like gay-rage) won't be optional - T-70 will be made a 2-man vehicle before the 0.8.5 goes out[/quote] Why does everyone seem to dislike the new garage, I like it, it's nice and cheerful.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;40233266]I used to think this too, then gold-ammo-for-credits became a thing and suddenly you have Tier 7 tank destroyers penning the angled upper glacis of a king tiger with 0 effort.[/QUOTE] The AMX Mle 46 could already go through that part without angling and with some help from the diceroll gods. Now with APCR? I can't imagine what these things are doing. That's why I've given up on any kind of armor. With T-54s and SU-101s throwing 350 pen HEAT shells around, even my T34s bunker turret isn't safe. Hopefully WG's "improvement" will be something big, because right now Tier 5, 8 and 10 are absolutely ruined by this gold ammo shit. That, and Type 59s rolling damage hits over 300 has been making my experience a whole lot worse recently.

[QUOTE=Sprelle;40233362]I think WG neglects German tanks to keep players spread out between nations, since most people associate WW2 tanks with Germany and play those tanks?[/QUOTE] It's interesting when you think about it Germany has probably the only tier 10 most people have actually heard of from WWII, and several tier 8's, and a few 7's. Most nation's trees are lucky to get up to 8.

[QUOTE=DaMastez;40233409]Why does everyone seem to dislike the new garage, I like it, it's nice and cheerful.[/QUOTE] I'd like to keep it if I could, without the 2 Year Anniversary stuff on it. Reminds me of Holland when the Americans were there in WW2

Gay-rage actually sounds pretty funny.

you guys miss me?

Oh wow, I just got crewed in my ELC, first time that#s ever happened.

Oh god my FPS with the new garage

New garage fucks with my GPU, makes it run at 100% and heats it to 65-70c while the "real" garage only runs it at 40% and ~55c.

Today's been pretty terrible so far. Gathered many defeats. More defeats than usual. Makes it really seem like the weekend came early. Also yeah, the new garage is pretty terrible as well. It bothers me how rough it runs, lags worse than the game itself (actual game doesn't really lag at all).

FPFP landing tonight. First battle in 2.5 hours from the time of this post (7:30 PM eastern), get on earlier so we can practice

Alright, here's a fix that reverts to the good ol' garage, for those with issues: [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?q5fjyklnltnbpog"]http://www.mediafire.com/?q5fjyklnltnbpog[/URL]

I dunno what you guys are talking about. The new garage runs just fine on my computer.

that's at 3pm for me. a++

Anyone have a link to the mod where it displays 2 rows of tank slots in your garage? [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] disregard, found one

[QUOTE=Bumgall;40236952]Anyone have a link to the mod where it displays 2 rows of tank slots in your garage? [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] disregard, found one[/QUOTE] I had one, it looked awful.

[QUOTE=acidcj;40236037]FPFP landing tonight. First battle in 2.5 hours from the time of this post (7:30 PM eastern), get on earlier so we can practice[/QUOTE] Shit, I can't make it that early. I'm lucky to be able to have even seen this post as it is. Sorry gents. I will be on later this evening but don't know when for sure.

EU getting the same anniversary special as US, as expected. [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o559xphchrM/UWWw9GjuuWI/AAAAAAAAAis/Bf_8Go9Cesk/s1600/spec.jpg[/img]

I can't make 90% of them because I don't usually finish work until around 8-11 EST depending on what's going on. It's okay though, I don't even have a tier 10, and the only ones I'm even remotely close to getting are the worst ones in the game.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;40237096]I had one, it looked awful.[/QUOTE] it does like shit but its convenient [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/a9xXb08.jpg?1[/IMG] this tank man that KV1 just wouldn't die

If they haven't announced all the sales yet the 59 will be on sale fo sure. They are selling the KV5 and they already said they never would again.
