Well I mean the only real way to win abbey is to end the round as fast as possible so that looks solid to me.

Well, did you see that image showing spread before and after patch? According to that, yes there will be less shots hitting the very center of the reticle, but there will also be a lot more shots hitting just outside the very middle, and fewer towards the edges. So...yeah.

Oh, FV304 :allears:

I blew up his AC48 from full health while he was distracted fighting other poo poo and narrowly missed top damage on both teams (he did marginally more). Other highlights: two-shotting a CDC and removing like 500hp off an ARL blind.

Accuracy nerf chat: haven't noticed it. Actually, my snapshots seem to be landing more now :psyduck:

The accuracy nerf never felt like much of a nerf, the amount of poo poo that seems to land on snap shots feels really high. I've had a lot of hits from things that in the past wouldn't have gotten near me.

Anyone on the fence about getting the SU-122-44, here's a replay when I was top tier and had the just right amount of bads on my team as well as the red team.

http://wotreplays.com/site/1707497#windstorm-fooferton-su-122-44

I had a question about the CDC, is it like a more accurate FCM? I'm starting to get the hang of the latter and I think one of those with better gun handling would be great.

It doesn't have the trolly spaced-armour track siding, it shoots the same gun slower, bad lower plate, bad bloom, worse engine, bad premium round, and no upside.

It's got worse turret bloom (0,16 instead of 0,12) which probably outweighs the marginally improved base acc and aim time

The upside is vastly improved ufp and turret armor and passability meaning you are faster than an is-6 over most terrain.

If you ever get a chance to facehug an is-6 in a 112 you won't take a point of damage.

If you're just dueling an IS-6 sure, but you can't do enough damage in a game to matter. Facehugging just means you'll get shot in the side. The IS-6 is a great bully because it bouncy armour all-around. The 112 can't bully hard.

Also I would just shoot the little cupola, and I'm pretty sure I have before.

The nerf is very noticeable only when sniping from distance, it did however not change a thing about snapshotting.

Thats what makes them the easiest targets to troll. Some vet was going on about his "service" and told him the standard spiel about being a welfare queen/bullet sponge/school dropout and he asked me if I have ever served and I told him I served his mother last night. He absolutely wentoff in chat for the rest of the game about how horrible this disrespect is and I should walk into a recruiters office to "man" up. I was in the military and I know from experience how very thin skinned alot of them are.

The most supremely moto guy I ever met was a quartermaster, because he tried for infantry and couldn't get in due to colourblindness. You'd think he was SF from the way he talked and acted.

People who prance around thinking their poo poo doesn't stink just because they were in the military are loving insufferable and I have to wonder what exactly it was they did, or how long they were in, for them to be so desperate for approval.

I got all of two seconds on test before torrentgeddon, but some immediate impressions: the AMX has wonderful mobility, the new HD models are pretty nice but some of them don't play nice with camo, and the new chat font/size is awful.

More pressing, what the gently caress did they nerf medium guns for? I get that power creep is an issue, and mediums have some pretty great guns at tier 10, but by nerfing silver pen all they are doing is encouraging gold-slinging from most of them and utterly loving over the British mediums. This after they already hosed the Cent once by nerfing its turret, too. Unbelievable.

Heavy drivers are by far the worst scum in the game. Of all the idiots that play WoT, heavy drivers stand out in the stupidity stakes by an order of magnitude. Battleship players are exactly the same in boats. They're both the easiest classes to play and require little other than a pulse and a functional mouse. Obviously they do require some skill to be good in, but the bar is much much lower and it shows. All the loving shitters piss and moan about how everything except their precious heavy tank is unfair/OP until everything else gets nerfed, same with BB drivers and the endless torp whining.

gently caress heavy drivers. I hope WG nerf the poo poo out of them next patch just to spite them (but of course they won't, because the very biggest whales are 44% E 100 drivers).

Stock AMX 30 proto looks kinda goofy but I can't capture it in a picture for the life of me. Looks like an easy grind, it gets access to the 100 mm SA47 and only needs springs to mount it.



e: for some random weirdness the pen nerfs mean that the 50 100 and Lorraine have more APCR pen than the Batchat.

~190k for the AMX 30P. Bring another 35k free exp if you don't have the SA47 unlocked because the stock gun is the F3.

Word is that it's an experiment and that they're also looking at nerfing a bunch of gold shells. Buuuuuut if it hurts the Cents I'm all for it. Dumb, boring tanks.

Outside of gold slinging my guess is its to get medium drivers to flank cause IMO they didn't have much trouble aiming weakspots when playing the terrain or peek-a-boo game (e.g STB on Prok middle or hill). Though I haven't touched the game since around October last year.
