Feindfeuer posted:Imagine having to fix one of the torsion bars on that thing... that's already a horrible job if you only have to remove one road wheel. A shot could force a bunch of the interleaved roadwheels together and it'd completely gently caress the tank unless it could be hauled to a full on depot, not a field workshop, because it required a shitton of heavy machinery to undo and fix all the fuckery (remove every last roadwheel on both sides, knockout and pull through each torsion bar, insert new torsion bars, replace most of the roadwheels). T-34s needed a field workshop and quite sometime to replace the inner coil springs, Shermans need a sledgehammer and a replacement component the VVSS/HVSS was a complete external suspension and was only bolted on and replacement could be done in 30 minutes in the field.  Panther suspension, which is an even worse nightmare than the Tigers.

At a range of 50m my shell goes nowhere the gently caress near where my crosshair is, hits a friendly, then my target disables me with the first shot. gently caress you, WT.

Third person crosshair and first person view are incredibly unaligned and it's annoying as poo poo. Third person crosshair is also sticky and will allow you to pull some bullshit shots.

If you're flying the US 109 and come into contact with a German BF109, sometimes it's fun to just turnfight them. Landing flaps, throttle off, the works. It surprises more than you'd think.

Community manager buttdare on reddit posted:1) You will get into mixed battle if there is at least one person on your BR range queued for too long time on a specific server, which is also selected by you. That means if on RU/EU prime time you select SA/US servers - Matchmaker will often use you as a lift for players who selected only SA/US servers and are having bad time with queues! If you don't care about mixed battles that means you will get almost instant matches. If you want to play without mixed battles - uncheck servers that currently may have low player population!

I was awarded the gladiator achievement even though I haven't done any of the tanking parts of the achievement (kill tanks and kill planes as AA). Is this normal or did I get a lucky bug? Also are there two planes? A white one and a green one? The slot where the gladiator is on the British tree has two planes, but only shows the reward one when I click on it. Edit: is it normal for it to take forever to get into a realistic tank battle with just the reserves? Should I be playing arcade instead or something?

In order: You only have to do 5 of the 7, so WAD The gladiator slot has another in-tree but not available plane, I think. Define "forever." Queue time for realistic is usually higher than for arcade, but anything less than a couple minutes is expected.

The Allies are unplayable because there are just not enough big guns on the field to deal with the German's armor at range. In theory, the game allows the Allies some big guns, but not a lot of people actually have t. So you end up with games where half the team can't fight the Germans at the range the maps require. Eastern Europe: Break is especially bad about this, because the Germans can light up the Allies as soon as they try to roll out of their spawn.

In theory, the game allows the Allies some big guns, but not a lot of people actually have t. So you end up with games where half the team can't fight the Germans at the range the maps require. Must be some bad luck, yesterday Germans won about half the matches I played so it felt pretty balanced. Today they haven't even won a quarter. With that being said I have noticed is that yesterday German teams were mostly comprised of Panthers, Ferdinands and Tigers, but today it seems to be mostly Panthers, Tiger II Ps and the odd Tiger or Jadgpanther here and there (and holy gently caress does the Jagdpanther have a glaring weakness). On top of that rather than going wide and waiting for the Allies to close in and outflank the poo poo out of them, German pubbies today have been charging right on in. On a more positive note I've finally got APCR for my Panther A which is making dealing with the endless number of IS2s and SU100s a lot easier. There have been some good moments of teamwork at least. http://gfycat.com/AstonishingThankfulAmericanbobtail Also another thing to add to the list of poo poo that pisses me off to no end.  Its not so bad on something like the Panther, but on something that has an agonizingly slow elevation/depression speed that is trying to peek out of cover it can literally be the difference between life and death (usually death). Its one of the many reasons I ditched the Tiger II P and went back to the Panther. For example in the above gif, if a T34 drove out behind that house in front of me and I had turned my turret to fire on him, instead of putting a round through the side of his hill, instead I would launch a round at the bridge in the distance, or alternatively in the couple of seconds it takes to depress my gun back down said T34 puts a round through my turret.

Unfortunately that is how gaijin set up third person view that allows you to do shots impossible from first person. Speaking of first person: it probably doesn't do that if you press 'v' or whatever to use the scope/iron sights, and will probably be less bad in 3rd person the more zoomed in on your tank your view is, reducing parallax or some poo poo.

It's the obvious way for a third-person crosshair to work, after all. Would you prefer it to not aim at the thing your cursor is on?

I've noticed that teams with large numbers of M26 Pershings tend to win more often than not. The combination of a gun good enough to deal with the heaviest German tanks and 2 respawns tends to do wonders. I cringe if there are too many IS-2s because they tend to just die off without landing a hit.
