IS-8 is quite nimble, but what I personally didn't like about it, was the lack of armor, combined with no gun depression, and a troll gun.

Yup ok, but when you actually jump to the IS-7 it's totally worth it, and you probably know that since you will probably have bought it. It' still my best tank despite all the others.

WG like them big apparently.
The acc nerf doesn't seem so bad really, unless you really rely on snap shots.
I am more pissed about the removal of the VK4502B, since I really don't want a tier9 tank with a top speed of 20km/h.

Hey, at the top of the list of needs is a Japanese arty line filled with pre-teen female crew that one-shot E100s reliably.

Did I accurately sum up the last 10 pages, sans botes?

I'm fine with that accuracy change, actually. Looks like a lot less lucky pubbie snapshots, but still works for people who take the time to aim.

I might be fully retards, but it looks like that is a general improvement with a little nerf.

The biggest thing is that it's a major reduction in dead-on shots (~16% -> ~10%).

The accuracy change is a big improvement not only for derps as mentioned above, but for snipers too. There will be far fewer situations where 80% of your aim circle is on an exposed enemy flank 400m away and the RNG decides your shot is going to fly off towards the edge instead of the center. I suspect this will at least partially make up for the TD viewrange nerfs.

Also looks like a reduction for shots launching off into space. Which is always nice.

Is there a time limit on the individual missions. I'm in the mood to get back into the game for the T28, but I don't know if I missed my chance. Any info I can find online of the IMs is mostly just nerds racing to the reports, with omitted, or plain wrong information.

They have said there is no limit, but they may move on to new sets of missions a few months down the road. You have lots of time.

You can throw botes in there as well if you simply said something like the Yamato is the best and torps need to be armed immediately on launch.. that or some poo poo about smoke is/is not OP.

I avoid getting yelled at by doing amazing in practices then doing nothing in actual CW (except for that one time against villain when me and star fish soloed that full HP E100 in our one shotable 140s).

I dunno, that image makes me think it'll make gently caress'all difference. The huge majority of shots will still happen in the same area of the reticle, with some of the dead center shots spread slightly outwards. But at the same time there will be less edge shots for some reason. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I'm not exactly filled with confidence.

I agree. It seems to put LESS shots at BOTH extremes, basically making it a little closer to a homogeneous distribution. I think this will benefit skilled players by reducing the holy poo poo lucky unaimed shots hitting a bullseye weakspot. It will also allow for some tanks to regain the strength of their armor formerly nullified by any stupid pubbie's ability to hit tiny weakspots.

That's hilarious.

Step 1.) Make opium dream tank.
Step 2.) Realize tank is terrible. No one uses it.
Step 3.) Buff tank in a haphazard and unmeasured way.
Step 4.) Decry, "Oh my, this tank is too overpowered for our precious game!"
Step 5.) Remove tank from game.
