Just started playing again.. only somewhat regretting the decision, but I had a weird thing happen.

Was in the middle of a game, suddenly, back in the garage, with the game acting as if I was never in said battle, tank was freely available for another battle and such

Is that a thing that happens now or is it a freak anomoly? Pondering whether to go with a completely clean install, but it's not like I had any mods installed before, and most of the battles were fine

Buy a $350 jacket, *then* buy an accessory to go with it (ranging anywhere from an additional $19-109), and we'll give you a free Hitler Panther, 30 days' Premium, and three invite codes for a tank that pretty much everyone in the game already has. :v:

I think the funniest thing is that even after spending 350 bucks, you have to spend extra to get the 'treat.'

I thought the jacket was like $100, so when I saw that, I thought hey, an ugly jacket and a bad tank for $100? Alright. Three hundred and a bit dollars though is kind of outrageous.

That's the kicker - a crappy tier 8 premium, and invite codes that give the exact same rewards as the WOTLABS invite code. Amazing.

You would think that the price for a '3XL' jacket would be more than the other sizes, given that they feel the need to *reassure* you that it's *GENUINE TOTALLY REAL NAPPA LEATHER*. So the fatties are driving up the price for everyone.

Not much map rework either. They have done some rebalancing. Flattened the maps a little. Made two themed maps. And they nerfed the vision range on tds. That about covers everything that has happened in quite a while honestly. Second brit td line I suppose.

You poor naive person. 8xl clothing exists. If you go past that I think they just hand you tarps or something. Considering the average gamer physique and WoT mouthbreathers I'm kinda surprised they're advertising a tarp option in that news item.

At higher tiers playing arty is much more enjoyable, since if you miss your fully aimed shot you get almost a full minute of stream-watching/Youtube without any interruption.

e: I'm kinda digging the whole spare track links counting as armor thing. Also autoloading IS-3/D-25+APCR without any stats on the autoloader:

ee: or is that just loading assist? that just makes it an IS-3 with bad acc. How utterly loving uninteresting.

The entire magazine was mechanized, so they could make it an autoloader, but it would not be historical. As it is, it's an IS-3, with a smaller turret and less crew. Yawn.

this is why I actually liked the French arty line. It's much less all or nothing. Faster reload and more accurate so that while your shots don't do as much damage, you're going to have rounds where you do pretty consistent damage. Slower reload arties are more up and down with matches where zero damage was done after 8 shots.

The mobility of the French arties also lets you position better and escape the inevitable collapsed flank. Downside is that shooting at anything with armor is a loving joke.

not to also mention (in a CGC) you can and will splash people for 1000 damage and the dude next time him for 600, also penning a tank with a CGC HE shell results in hilarity.
