Cardiac posted:drat you. I feel like if this tank is played by players of mediocre or less skill it would be pounded into the ground. It is a weird and wonderful tank, a very powerful one in the hands of good players and total trash when played by baddies. guidoanselmi posted:im playing the cdc without 6th sense and not uncommonly end up dying at first encounter. otoh, the other games it tends to dominate even at t10. I've played a gently caress ton more French than USSR, so I kind of knew from the start that this tank is a delicate and beautiful snowflake. Any scratch will ruin your day.

World of Tanks: The war of the curated mod pack That was some hilarious stuff seeing people argue their fan favorite mod pack. Just like new comers choose the one they want and stop arguing which is better. It does look like I'll have to pick up a cdc to play around with this weekend. Pretty fun little tank. I love seeing people bitch about arty hitting them around supposedly hard cover. The idea that I specifically placed myself such as to counter that specific camp spot just blows them away. I remember in beta, I once was called out with the same type of chat because I had moved to a better angle to shoot diagonally behind their rock cover.

Uranium 235 posted:Hedge clipper I can understand, but grass removal? Why? I'm pretty sure there's an in-game option that lets you turn off grass in sniper view, which is really the only time you could ever benefit from having it turned off. Probably the bug where super zoom makes the hedge disappear? On a related topic I'm glad that Armored Warfare does not plan to allow mods. Thus, making the whole hunting down of mods and crying about mods completely moot.

I might be confusing hedge clipper and grass removal. I mean that mod that removes ALL vegetation off the map, including leaves on the trees.

I've heard that the client basically sends a log of what you have in your res_mods folder when you log in, but since it's WG it wouldn't surprise me if it should but isn't.

The biggest improvement I got from a mod was the one that displayed your view distance circle, the render distance square thing and then the max spotting range distance or whatever. Without the mod you can get a good generally feeling about how far you can spot but that mod removes tons of guess work.

Before they implemented it into the game itself, the most advantageous mod for me was the one that showed the last known locations view range mod and the hit zones one (when I was still learning).

I can't play without tank carousel myself. The ability to choose what tiers to display and have two rows instead of one is just such a massive improvement.

if you have some sort of unantiquated pc and dont mind the file being huge to begin with, just use intel quicksync/nvenc/amdthingy and set the bitrate to 40mb 1080p60fps and render. will look excellent, and then youtube will convert the mega file to something reasonable

CDC talkMesadoram posted:I feel like if this tank is played by players of mediocre or less skill it would be pounded into the ground. It is a weird and wonderful tank, a very powerful one in the hands of good players and total trash when played by baddies. I met a CDC in my T-34-85 today. He had green stats. I snuck up on him and shot him in the side, whereupon he rammed me (twice), taking significantly more damage than he dealt, and shot me in the mantlet (twice). I killed him. Then he accused me of cheating because my tank bounced his shots. v v v I shot AP. One APCR maybe because I had it loaded for shooting at tier 8 heavies a little earlier. I have since put HE in my T-34-85 because of the CDC, Hellcat, and german WT line TDs. I hadn't remembered to before that fight though. pun pundit fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Feb 25, 2015 |

pun pundit posted:CDC talk I love it when baddies buy tanks and think because it's the new hot thing. Like playing THAT particular tank is their key to become a great player. Did you shoot HE at him or regular shots? I have a feeling on tanks with lower caliber the HE will not be that much more effective. An STB-2 shot me with HE dealing only 140 damage, I had ~215 hp.

T-34-85 HE has ridiculous damage (280) it might still work. Tank inspector says.... 30 mm armor against a 43 mm pen HE shell might do the trick.

Alternatively if you can pen the side of the CDC with HE you can probably instant ammo rack it. Atal Vataman posted:the cdc is fun, but cant carry for poo poo. eod In the few games I've played in it I feel like I do carry. The fact that you can adjust to enemy placements so easily means you can be where your team needs you in no time. Flexibility can lead to some serious carrying. But ya, if you get caught in the open you are as good as hosed. You are an easy to pen tank, people will want to shoot you first no matter what.

The T-34-85 is one tanks that get rewarded greatly for carrying HE and don't get punished since it carries a lot of ammo and not having a terribly long reload. Going from 180 damage to 300 is a massive increase. I still need to run up and shotgun a CDC in my M53 or T49.

Going from 180 damage to 300 is a massive increase. Shooting a CDC in a T49 would probably be one of the most satisfying things this game has to offer. But like I said, I am paranoid. The thought of not being able to fully pen and having my shot do less damage than a regular AP shot would make me pretty loving angry.

Oh I'm just picking on you, but the CDC isn't for someone who isn't good at mediums in the first place. [e]: Word to the wise: It's another FCM. If you're not super great at mediums, and don't want to be a smear on the map, don't buy it. The Southern Dandy fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Feb 25, 2015 |

Takes a shitton of diskspace if you wanna record in 1080p at best quality (I think it's like 4 GB for 15 minutes at 30 fps), but it has very little performance impact and in addition to regular recording it has a "shadow mode" where you can just press a hotkey combination to save the last X minutes of play whenever you want. Very convenient. Otherwise I concur with the other guy who recommended MSI Afterburner, it's legit. TheFluff fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Feb 25, 2015 |

Afterburner does have more options in terms of recording though.

Haven't read FTR in months open it up and find the following "Churchill Black Prince is gaining fame amongst some of the staff that plays and players too, apparently the tank is “comfortable” to drive and reliable, despite the slow speed and rather weak caliber gun, it makes it up for the superb accuracy and reload along with good armor layout". Glad to see people are starting to figure out that the BP is the bestest tank.
