[QUOTE=Jake Nukem;52414792]Ez fix if they'd let you apply a boost to a match after it was completed, so you can pick and choose where you wanna use that boost.[/QUOTE]
That would honestly be broken. I'd just play 20 games until I got one of those ten-kill-three-cap ones, and booster that one every single time. The system as it is works as intended, I just keep having bad luck. Or memory-bias is making me only really recall the ones where my booster is wasted on a spawncamp-death with no respawn, and not the ones where I get a good game.

Speaking of bias, have anyone noticed the secret soviet bias?
I'm not talking the obvious soviet bias where Soviet tanks are low-tiered by 0.3-0.7 compared to everyone else, and get magical ammo and armour for everything. No, I mean the [I]secret[/I] bias. All the industrial equipment in all the maps? It's painted Soviet armour green. The trucks parked around Poland, Factory and a few others? They happen to be the same trucks Soviet players can drive. Clearly designed to give Soviet players an advantage since everyone else has to double-check every truck and steam-engine. The sunrise? It's in the east of the maps, which is default, most frequent spawn side for Soviets so it blinds anyone not Soviet. The bias runs deeper than you might think!

It's fun getting pushed for your shitty computer crashing in the middle of a game
Been playing in a destroyer for a bit, its safe to say gaijin is slowly working towards a potentially awesome section of the game. I have a feeling the spawn direction for the dessies should be changed though. Start them off pointing at their own cargo ships so they know where they are and also make the smaller icebergs a tad taller so PTs has something to get behind more often.
Edit: btw, PTs...
Just shoot the goddammed dessies turrets. I find the brits current PT best for this. 6 or so 40mm rounds disables any turret on a dessie. You can knock out a dessie if all its guns are out. :)
WAIT THEY FIXED THE M22s GEARBOX. WHEN.

You have the Vickers MBT already, yeah?
Congrats, you got a second one that's mostly worse. A bit bigger and a tad slower on the acceleration with negligible armor except the UFP which no one shoots. And lower RoF. By no means bad, but it's just a step down from the MBT.
sadly 75% of the shit you grind is a step down from what you already had, either because of mm placement or because the vehicle is actually objectively worse
I kinda feel the soviet bias.

Got the grant and T29 in the sales.
tbh the APHE to me is a bit mediocre unless im using it wrong.
[QUOTE]M47 - increased fire rate from 6.6 per minute to 8 per minute. Source: TM 9-500 "DATA SHEETS FOR ORDNANCE TYPE MATERIAL.
M4 748 (a) - new shells available: T45 APCR shell and M89 smoke shell.
FV4202 - APDS ordnance added. The position of the vehicle has now been changed in the research tree. Now the tank has switched branches and is located ahead of the Caernarvon and after Churchill Mk.VII
[/QUOTE]
As well as some minor BR and economy changes, nothing too interesting. At least Herman the German Sherman finally gets some love, even if it's add-on armor is worse for no particular reason. :v:
The Nashorn is just a gokart with a rifle ducttaped to the front

[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;52435304]so FV4202 is pretty much just a better Centurion mk3 now? that's kinda boring[/QUOTE]
It's got worse raw-armor values, but at better slopes. I think it's also quite a bit faster but lacks the reverse gearing. Pretty sure the reload is the same too. If they gave it a heavy-tank designation like the Caernaernaerveon it'd make it worse than the Cent 3 for the SP cost and lack of artillery.
What's weird is, as much of a slog as UK can feel to play leading up to these, they have some of the best W/Rs in RB. :v:
Slog? Even before FV4202 brits have lots of excellent tanks. Cromwell are better light tanks than most actual light tanks, Achilles has an overkill gun that wrecks a tank even without explosive filler because the shell penetrates through the whole tank. Churchill VII is probably the biggest meme in the game with armor that makes you laugh at anyone you face in its BR. And the Comet with APDS can oneshot pretty much anything when you learn to aim for ammo.
[QUOTE=kirderf;52436467]Slog?[/QUOTE]
Reverse speed until Cents, ammo options, and having to either get "kinda armor" or good speed. The armor comment being that the tanks that have it "good" are utterly irrelevantly armored in a 0.7-1.0BR uptier and now pay for that by being slow as molasses. UK was also borderline unplayable until a couple of patches for raw-AP ammo and how it operates in game. (APDS still just seems to be outright better, though.) The 2-pounder has some abysmal deviation for no apparent reason as well, making it a nightmare to use at any kind of distance. The only gun with worse that I know of is those on the ZSU-57-2.
I'm not saying Brit tanks are universally bad, but there's a lot of spots where they're bland and uninteresting. There's a few ways they could mix it up (Challenger add-on armor, later 6-Pounder APDS on new makes of other vehicles, 95mm HEAT mortars, Non-Spigot AVREs, Churchill NA 75, etc.)
Is there any way to change zoom from hold to toggle? I assigned Z button for it, but still game is warning me there isn't any button assigned for this feature.
Oh nevermind, I finally found this option.

but yknow, i gotta credit you guys for telling me to talisman my vickers, its made short work of grinding.

7-12k vrp per game if i do real good.

Just out of curiosity... Any word on a Swedish "tree"?
[QUOTE=boboerror;52446275]Just out of curiosity... Any word on a Swedish "tree"?[/QUOTE]
Definitely no earlier than France tanks+planes, and probably italian tanks in some limited form (premium only tree like early Brits were, maybe)
After they get France out of the way, they will probably try to figure out how to do mixed minor stuff. They don't like to break out whole new chunks of stuff when working on other, and here, Italy and France definitely have a priority.

I'd wager we get Italian ground before France gets in.
[QUOTE=Ilwrath;52446747]I'd wager we get Italian ground before France gets in.[/QUOTE]
Again, if so, probably not as a fully fledged "30 vehicles at launch" tree.
Italians have a boatload of stuff worthy of era 1 and some of it early era 2, and then like, maybe 5 vehicles still worth adding to era 3. All the rest would be copy [I]pasta[/I].

Well, depress the gun 10 degrees, mount 4 swing-fire missiles, feature an 800hp engine and go a little faster. That's what the Vickers MBT Mk 2 is for.

Ignore the garbage video editing from the garbage human bean, but let me bring out a PSA:
The Calliope's rockets were broken beyond belief in a recent patch. They basically didn't do damage. Not sure if it's fixed. But the RP-3 and TT-250s are [B]batshit insane[/B] at the moment and are basically 1HKOs. The RP-3s just have to hit, and the TT-250s have to hit about 5-10m away depending on the tank.

RP-3s are relatively hard to use because good British ground attackers are reasonably high BR (thus fast moving and getting shot at by goddamned Wirbelwinds and shit)... except for the super low BR Hurricanes which can carry 6 (or is it 8?) RP-3s. You can fly so goddamned slow, throw your flaps and dive on some shitbird and blap him at like 200 meters perfectly every time.
This is what I did in that North Africa realistic event where Germans could get enough points via Panzer III and IV to spawn in their Tigers to massacre Crusaders and Cruisers. Just break out the old Hurricane and exterminate all life.
I shot down an ME262 with a Panther D, I am happy.
