People in that clan were deathly afraid of using their words to express themselves or communicate with clanmates, and some players even when confronted with a direct message or question would either ignore it or evade it. I never pushed it that hard, but it was really off putting. You'd think I'd fit in perfectly with a clan of actual autistic people, so maybe I'm wrong.

I never pushed it that hard, but it was really off putting. Autistic people often struggle with processing normal levels of stimuli, producing what we refer to as "sensory overload". Sadly, having Hellsau in your TS channel creates a high-stimuli environment. That being said, I don't think any tank goon should be allowed within earshot of the developmentally disordered.

Hellsau posted:PINGU is mostly adequate players, rerolls and alt accounts - less than thirty on a night. Was doing strongholds, we were winning 9 to 5, and we capped out instead of killing them. Highest XP on the team was 400. I asked if we could spend the extra 40 seconds to finish the enemy to earn three times the XP, and they said boxes were what mattered. I said okay, swap me out for the dude waiting for a spot, and went to go pub it up. That guy sent me a post-battle recruitment message. That's scraping the barrel.

Both questions can really be answered by the burnout after the campaign/fucktarded 111 grind event. All of the old callers that have been running things in g wanted breaks and nobody good stepped up. The mini campaign thing came along and we essentially had people who hadn't ever called before running every single fight. The inactive were kicked because we were going to just get off the map and do skirmishes or w/e but then a bunch of stuff came up that has prevented me from playing in the last few weeks so I have no idea how that went.

A T71 just charged my Patton right after I had fired. Bad news, gonna take a bunch of damage, right? Except he shot me with HE. A full clip. 68 damage total. 40k battles played, 1k wn8. "I wouldn't have penned anyways" was his defense.

PINGU really needs actual bodies - we could not field two teams for a planned Stronghold Defense and the Exhibition tournament on either Saturday or Sunday. You're much better than a lot of the actives as well.

Played a few games over the past week. Got five different people who said they though NTR was a dead clan. Turns out all of NTR, in an unspoken consensus, just stopped played tanks over a period of a few months. It took a ton of tries to get the damaged blocked mission done in a heavy tank for the T28C. Finally got it on a rather silly defeat.   http://wotreplays.com/site/1768743#malinovka-desuwa-vk_72_01_k Ended up with over 10k damage blocked - this tank has one of the most usable armour layouts in the game - and this would have blown past the requirements for HT-15 for the 260 with about 19k dealt/received/blocked. Don't exactly play well but eh. Desuwa fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Apr 5, 2015 |

Someone ran into me whilst driving my t49 and then accused me a getting in the way, so I did the reasonable thing and shot him for 800 dmg then drove away before he could react. He spent the whole game tracking me down so he could put 2 shells into me as we were moping up and then got his dumbass banned. Fun times.

BIG HEADLINE posted:ESPRT landed to the north of PBKAC and started butchering PUPEH (no longer a PETCO sub-clan since Alphyn is gone) and BUNEH (who held Vermont and New Hampshire for offset stacks and because no one else wanted it). We (since I was still in the clan at that point) tried to fight off ESPRT like a good parent clan and proceeded to get our poo poo pushed in night after night, up to and including losing NYC to them a few times. I - not to put much weight on it - got tired of hearing the same poo poo being said night after night, so I 'pulled a SirMolle' (EVE Goons will know what this means) yet still checked up on how things were going. Are you saying that PBKAC is...a paper tiger? (Sorry, sorry, I'll go kill myself now.) I will say that I'm still surprised that Gyarados kicked all those members (and looking at the list, there sure are a lot of goons on it.) Is Ziddy really out of the picture? On the other hand, I can totally understand a lot of the kicked players being inactive simply due to being burnt out at this game. They've been around for a long time, and the only reason I'm not burnt out is because I only get the chance to play (anything) a couple days a week. Can't really get myself burnt out when any kind of gaming is a welcome break from a lovely job.  Beyond that, PANSY is open to active goons who just want to hang out and shoot tanks casually. PANSY is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people here. In PANSY you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the PANSY motto, for example, that's how laid back it is here. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends. The Unlife Aquatic posted:But it says in their thread they only want players with endgame tanks? Eh, that thread's OP is out-of-date. You can see the last time it was updated was in July. I'll ask French to edit it the next time I see him. But yeah, PANSY is the casual goon clan, there are no tank requirements. We just need your IGN.

Fierce competition began between Soviet tank manufacturers immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War. The situation was akin to an internal cold war. In the late 1980s, the management of UralVagonZavod, with significant effort, managed to secure the permission to perform a deep modernization of the T-72 tank. This was the start of the T-90. Russia's First The T-72, Soviet Union's most numerous tank, was what is called a "mobilization vehicle" designed for participation in the second echelon and combat against forces other than the enemy's best. Its crews would be tankers with second rate training, therefore controls of these vehicles were simplified. The main drawback of the design was the fire control system, which was far from perfect. The new vehicle from the Urals was supposed to get rid of this deficiency. The prototype indexed Object 188 was presented to the government for trials in January of 1989. The vehicle showed itself well. It was reliable in all conditions, including long term operation under pressure. The Object 188 travelled 14,000 km without serious breakdowns during trials. This was the range before major repairs required of it by its designers. In 1991, the Ministry of Defense of the USSR approved the tank for adoption by the Soviet Army. Due to the difficult political situation in the country that ended with its dissolution, the final decision was not made until October of 1992. Object 188 was supposed to receive the index T-72B, but B.N. Yeltsin, Russia's president at the time, personally ordered that it should be indexed T-90. This was the Russian Federation's first tank. 90's Insides The most important feature of the T-90 is the Irtish fire control system. This system was sorely needed in the T-72. The system includes an automatic fire control feature, night and day aiming devices, a ballistic computer, a gun stabilizer, and many other components. Due to this system, the T-90 can effectively hit vehicles at long distances. During a demonstration for foreign delegates, a T-90 driving at a speed of 25 kph destroyed 7 targets at ranges of 1.5-2.5 kilometers in less than a minute. Irtish does more than just seek, locate, and identify the target. It calculates many factors that can influence a hit. The speed of the target, the speed of the tank, corrections for wind, atmospheric pressure, wear and tear of the barrel, these are only a few parameters that are used in the calculations. The T-90 is equipped with a system of optical-electrical protection from anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). This system tracks the launch of a missile and jams its control signal. If necessary, grenades are deployed that create an aerosol cloud around the tank, weakening and deflecting laser designator beams that are used to guide modern ATGMs. Like all Soviet tanks made after 1954, the T-90's crew is protected from weapons of mass destruction. A special polymer liner with additions of lithium, boron, and lead protects the crew from radiation. Filters protect the air inside the tank from poisonous gases and radioactive dust. The T-90's shield, sword, and heart Following Soviet design traditions, the T-90 is small and densely packed. This is both a blessing and a curse. Due to the small silhouette, it is hard to aim at. However, a penetrating shell is bound to hit a module or a crewman. The tank's designers aimed to protect it well. Aside from traditional composite armour, the tank received built in reactive armour. At first, reactive armour helped only against HEAT shells. Modern reactive armour also protects against subcaliber armour piercing shells, but not as well. If the penetration of a HEAT shell is reduced by over 50%, then APFSDS penetration is reduced by only 20%. The T-90 even has reactive armour on the roof. The main weapon of the tank is a smooth barrelled 125 mm gun with a two piece round. Due to the automatic loading mechanism, it can reach a rate of fire of 8 RPM. The gun can fire subcaliber, HEAT, and HE ammunition. Recently, a new ammunition type was added: HE-shrapnel with an air burst fuse. This shell is very effective at fighting unprotected infantry and helicopters. As well as traditional shells, the T-90's gun can also fire ATGMs. The ATGM guarantees a hit at 5000 meters. When the T-90 was adopted for service, it was a worldwide record. The tank engine is a multifuel diesel. This means that it will run not only on diesel, but on gasoline and kerosene. Trials showed that only gasoline slightly reduces the engine's power. The T-90 is equipped with underwater driving equipment that can be installed in as little as 15 minutes, and a self-entrenching system, with which it can dig itself a trench in warm ground in less than half an hour. Over 20 years that passed since the tank entered production, but not very many have been produced. About 2000 units were made to this day, and about half of them were exported, mainly to India. The tank has yet to see battle.

One is a bespoke handgun patented in 1898, using a fragile mechanism and hand-fitted parts individually serialized to each gun. The other is a handgun designed by ~John Moses Browning~ that can still hold it's own against modern handguns and was the preferred sidearm of both western-aligned countries during the Cold War, and rogue cops on quests for justice.

I've destroyed the tracks of two enemy vehicles twice now, once where I did it three times. None of these were counted for SPG mission 5 - destroy the tracks of two enemy vehicles. Do they need to also be destroyed (while they are tracked) by someone else because if so gently caress this life.
