Apparently the HD IS-3, Pershing and 50 100, aka your favorite tanks, were cut from 9.7. They don't want to affect the Grand Finals of whogivesafuckleague with three minor hit model updates so the models get pushed back to 9.8.

To be fair the IS-3 and 50100 are basically armorless frontally and the Pershing only has the mantlet, and 9.7 was allegedly too big due to all the HD models, and the IS-3 models been in the pipeline for ages so one more patch can't hurt.

There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

I recently downloaded Shadow of Mordor... 37Gb. Oh you want the HD textures and poo poo? No problem head over to the DLC section and clicky. By the way it is another 40Gb of content and if you don't have a video card with 6 gigs of ram then gently caress you scrub.

Changing the inclination on the IS-3's front plate by 1,5° with six weeks warning and a minimum of two weeks on the public test server could have very very dire implications for the legitimacy of Wargaming's World of Tanks eSports tournament. Why, they'd practically be a laughingstock.

Speaking of disk space hogs, in your World of Tanks folder there's a subfolder called Updates. This contains all the game updates you've ever downloaded (everything from the big 9.4 to 9.5 patches to the stealth micropatches you get every once in a while). After you've upgraded to a new version I'm pretty drat sure you can just delete them and (potentially) save yourself gigabytes of disk space. I've done this myself after several major upgrades and I haven't seen any ill effects at all. Not taking responsibility for anything, though.

I used the OMC Mod pack updater but none of my hanger mods are working in the new version, has anyone else had this or have I selected a broken selection of mods?

Making slight changes to the IS-3 model is an initiation step for new WG employees, similar to nerfing the Hellcat and taking down Clan Wars with a patch. They must have had a bunch of new guys show up.

*Runs maps 90% of the time that makes this impossible*
*Is WG*

Seriously, gently caress this poo poo. Every loving map is close quarters and literally impossible to spot tanks before they spot me no matter what my view range. I am on the T28HC missions now and can't even imagine what the requirements will be for the last tank. "Spot 16 tanks without leaving your garage" would be my guess.

Holy loving poo poo, pubbies are just unbelievably stupid.

Northwest, South spawn in my FV304. I am too busy clicking the map and accidentally run into a T67, doing 10 hp of damage to myself and none to him (because he stopped like a retard, but that is besides the point). I drive past and get set up down the hill. He bitches about my harmless ram in chat and then takes a run at me down the hill, ramming me for 40 points. Instead of calling that good, he starts backing up to do it again.

So I blew him up.

He spent the rest of the game just howling about it. I told him not to pick fights he can't win. But WGA is going to send me a warning, because *reasons*.

Honestly...what the everloving gently caress? Yes, I rammed him accidentally, and did no damage (except to his fragile psyche). I seriously don't understand :psyduck:

If I were you, I'd stop trying to understand, and would instead simply delight in the pubbie's impotent rage. Getting pubbies riled up is the point of this game, right? That's my goal, anyway.

My newbie opinion is that WOT players video game players are often emotional toddlers who haven't yet figured out that actions have consequences. Half the fun of this game is trolling the raging retards in team chat.

So I ran into the middle road, killed a Leopard, and then a 50100 suicide rushed me. and then it died. Then a T-43 suicide rushed me, and it died. Then a T-44 got cold feet and no one else on their team fired at me. Good times.

So the mission thingies provides some interesting results like bouncing your HP in damage in a IS-8.
Isn't Osad in PZMOE?

Have I told you how much I like my Lefh?

Which later led to someone getting mad.

That game was kinda ridiculous since I nailed 3 light tanks by firing at them without letting the zoom go fully in, which basically led to me seeing the death message while looking somewhere else on the map.

I finally got malinovka yesterday, a type59 a Tiger and a black prince from my team rushed over and ruined any loving chance I had to get me that mission. On monday after 6 loving hours I got malinovka as well, 2 tanks per side stayed at base.. I got 1650 spotting that game.
These missions suck so loving much and the fact you can only have one active at a time makes literally 90% of my light tank games worthless to me.


vvvv I had that in a Himmelsdorf game, 6 shots into the rear end of a Tiger, no fire... 1 shot into the loving churchill and it was on fire.... this game makes me rage so loving much

Set a higher tier enemy on fire? Well matchmaker I'm happy with the extremely generous matchmaking in my Comet and 416 but I'd like to complete this mission now. Oh hey RNG I almost didn't notice you there, you say gently caress me for shooting a T34 in the rear end nine times I am not going to crit once? Okay welp let's post more Comet replays then.
