This makes me irrationally angry. Yes, I know that the player base is full of racist scum, but to so flagrantly propogate neo nazi bile and be alowed to continue is a testament to how horrible WGNA is.

Now, I know that when ISLAM was created, the theme was pretty controversial and was definitely trying to disturb poo poo, but there was no inherent racism included in the clan; it didn't last 24 hours. And yet, here we have 1488 which is pure racism thinly disguised with a couple of word changes, and no one lifts a finger.

loving pathetic. I don't understand why companies can't hire just a few decent / intelligent human beings as it would make all the difference.

And the Wargames quit so he was the true winner.

If you have the time you should kick this up the chain, pointing out SS's racism and bigotry in the past as a sign that he is a poor figurehead of the AW moderation team. It could end up hilarious. Obviously if this is gonna get your ability to play an actual good game maybe don't do this.

I don't know what that chain would be. I looked into submitting a ticket but I have no clue if it will be him who reviews those. Also, there does not seem to be any other contact info that I can locate. Unless you know where to look.

Yeah, I was trying to tread lightly too before he banned me. I literally just posted about me not being insulting or trolling (word for word) and BAM insta ban. Forums are going to be a dangerous place if you want to point out SilentStalker's past.

Haha, he thinks my post about him getting his viewership to harass a 15 year old girl to be insulting.

Here are my posts that got me banned:

"I'm more concerned about SilentStalker making posts on his blog about a 15 year old girl streaming tanks and having his readers to sexually harass her in twitch chat."

After this he deleted forum account or at least all the posts made. So I then made a short post in response saying:

"My post was neither insulting nor trolling."


And that was it.

I'm actually curious what would happen if I created a clan called SAUDI and described the clan as being for players who are from Saudi Arabia but not including anything else about religion and the like.

In fact, I might create and account and drop the $10 or whatever it costs just to see what happens.

Taking Iwo Jima

The air over Iwo Jima smells of sulphur. It was mined here since before WWII. The name of the island itself means roughly "sulphur island" in Japanese.

When war erupted in the Pacific, Iwo Jima became the home of a radar station and a Japanese garrison. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi was appointed as the commander on June 30th, 1944. Under his command, the island turned into a stronghold with underground tunnels, pillboxes, and caponiers. Additional forces were moved to the island, including the 26th Tank Regiment commanded by Colonel Takeichi Nishi with 22 Chi-Ha and Ha-Go tanks.

When Nishi arrived at Iwo Jima, he could see that the island was far too small for any maneuvers. Japanese tanks were largely used as immobile guns. The Japanese also built stone replicas of tanks to scare the Americans. The deception could only be discovered close up. The island was ready for a defense.

Key to Japanese Skies

The reinforcements were not for nothing. The island had great strategic value. After the Americans knocked Japan out of the Mariana Islands, Japan was within range of B-29 Superfortress bombers. The radar at Iwo Jima gave an early warning when Japan was about to be bombed and helped Japanese fighters intercept American bombers not only on the way to the target, but on the way back. Additionally, when refueling at Iwo Jima, Japanese bombers could reach the Mariana Islands and pay the Americans a visit.

Capturing Iwo Jima would not only punch a hole in Japanese air defences, but obtain a base for American escort fighters and damaged Superfortresses. Losing a B-29 was undesirable, as it cost half a million dollars and 11 trained pilots.

Lieutenant-General Holland Smith's corps was chosen to attack the island. The American landings began on the morning of February 19th, 1945. The first wave of attackers would be supported by LVT(A)-4 amphibious tanks, a modification of the LVT with a 75 mm howitzer in an open turret. However, the offensive started slipping from the very start. Vehicles sank in the soft volcanic terrain before even reaching shore. The Japanese did not impede the landings on the beach. They were waiting until the attackers went deep into the island, onto the minefields and ranged in positions.

After a few minutes, the Americans found themselves under machinegun, mortar, and howitzer fire from hidden fortifications, with no opportunity to entrench. Walls of foxholes dug in the soft terrain would immediately cave in. Even if an American managed to dig a big enough hole or hide in a crater, he would have to deal with sulphuric gas seeping from the ground.

The second wave contained real tanks, M4A3 Shermans. The beaches were filled with vehicles, as the terrain was too soft for even tank tracks.

A bulldozer from A company tried to clear the way, but hit a mine, then was hit three times with large caliber mortars. The bulldozer was completely destroyed. Other Shermans tried to move in as a column, but made it only 90 meters before being immobilized by a minefield. 7 hours after the landing, A company was missing 12 tanks out of 17: 7 were stuck and 5 were knocked out. Other companies also took heavy losses.

By that evening, losses surpassed all estimates, consisting of over 2000 men, dead and wounded. A more sensitive army may have stopped the operation there, but Americans back then were made from tougher stuff. By the evening they numbered 30,000, surpassing the Japanese garrison.

Fire and Armour

Shermans, especially the flamethrower versions, were invaluable when chewing through Japanese lines. Tanks suppressed machineguns with their fire, then closed in and covered pillboxes and tunnels in napalm. That is, if they could close in. The Japanese used not only anti-tank mines, but IEDs made from powerful bombs or torpedoes. Minefields were covered by machineguns and anti-tank guns. A Japanese 47 mm gun was quite obsolete by 1945, but it could still penetrate the side of an American tank at close range. Infantry also hunted tanks, both with explosives on poles and suicide bombers.

American tankers tried to improve their protection with anything they could find: steel plates, sandbags, even boards. Photos from Iwo Jima show tanks that look more like sheds with guns. In reports, tankers demanded Pershing tanks, reasoning that it is not vulnerable to 47 mm guns, pole mines, and other weapons, and the Sherman's 75 mm gun could not destroy reinforced concrete pillboxes. That came later.

Five days after the beginning of the attack, soldiers of the 5th Marine Division raised an American flag over the dead Suribachi volcano. Two hours later, it was replaced with a bigger one, but this flag was the one immortalized in Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph. The flag did not mean that the island was taken. The defending soldiers had to be cleared out meter by meter from the north part, where the main target lay: the airport capable of accepting B-29 bombers. It was only taken by February 26th. On March 4th, the first Superfortress made a successful landing on the hastily repaired landing strip.

Fighting for the island continued for another month. Even when the Americans controlled the surface, the Japanese attacked from hidden tunnels. The last attack, personally headed by General Kuribayashi, took place on the night of March 26th. Individual Japanese soldiers continued hiding in numerous caves even after Japan's surrender.

I don't think they've ever given the credit equivalent for premiums. When they allowed infinite codes to be used way back when, people would put the code in, get a T-127 and garage slot, then sell the tank and enter another code in. Nowadays bonus codes are one-per-account and give the gold equivalent if the tank is already owned. Same with missions.

My brother just started playing a month or two ago after coming over and watching me play, and watching some Jingles and other WoT videos. He's already at 1400 WN8, having just crested into tier 6 in multiple trees. I built him a gaming computer for XMas, so he's having fun, playing well, and asking me about mods and things. He's loving the M44 and thinks Battle Assistant is the best mod in the game.

BTW, Atomizer, the 860m is a solid vidya card on a laptop. It doesn't scream, but I've never had any issues with it; everything is perfectly playable and looks nice. If you want to drop a lot of cash, there's the 980m. But if you want that kind of performance just get a desktop for a lot cheaper.
