That's interesting. Could be lag maybe? Although they certainly have had a problem with gaps in the hit boxes in the past from what I recall. Edit: And thanks for that premium code, seems to have worked for me.

They're loving stupid and will change models randomly for a patch. The last one was the 53/55 where the collision model for the turret floated up into their air. I cannot believe they don't have a system for detecting which files/resources/models have changed to verify that unexpected changes aren't sneaking in. This is just embarrassing.

Man with 9.7 I couldn't reinstall all of my usual mods with ODM last night, most notably my session stats. I think I got everything else though. Holy poo poo this game got more fun. Just trying to do well and play smart instead of meeting numerical goals and getting mad when I do bad (and then playing terrible because I'm mad) is way better

It would be interesting to see if WG tracks the amount of good players who play immediately following a patch, especially on EU or RU who traditionally get patches earlier. But no, seriously, the game is unplayable without at least a bare minimum of mods to take the annoyances out of the game. Especially once you've gotten used to the game not actively working against you.

Important question, since Poland isn't a tree in the game, is the Polish T-34/85 going to be German or Soviet?

Bigfabdaddy posted:Yeah that would be nice but I go up the middle way to much. Going up the middle works a lot, but depending on the map you have to wait a minute or two to give most of the enemy tanks time to clear out to the flanks. Then it can be smooth sailing to a Pascucci's medal (the best medal). Terrorist Fistbump posted:So I was thinking of buying the T-54 proto just to train my crew. Looking at it in Tank Inspector, it seems to be a much slower, slightly better armored T-44. In other words, a useless piece of poo poo. Can anyone confirm/deny? I really wanted to buy this for crew training too. I was sorry to read that it's not good.

James Garfield posted:SU-85 doesn't have insane camo, it has the same camo to two significant figures as every non toaster tier 5 TD (AT 2 and M10 aren't TDs). It also has 350 view range with binoculars active. 350 view range is really bad. You cannot play vision games with view range that caps out with active binoculars at the same as a medium tank with no equipment. rex rabidorum vires posted:SU85 is done. The last game of course was one where everything kinda worked...5 kills 1200 damage. Meh it's gone soon as that sale ends. Hello SU 100 though you look might fine. Also after 3 games in the STUG without the top gun I already like it more. Whatever...TDs really aren't my thing, but if I'm going to get some of those high TD missions going to need a 704. And speaking of the SU-152, I've finally figured this tank out. That second game was especially nice because that Luchs just had an amazing game. A game on Prokhorovka where, well, let's just say only one tank went to the hill - the E25. So, yeah, it didn't go well. But that Luchs, man. He outplayed their scouts, did a bunch of scouting damage himself. When it was him and myself against the T29, the TOG and the Chi-Nu, he kept the T29 spotted while I drove down his health and then soloed him when I had to turn around to deal with the Chi-Nu and the TOG coming up behind me. He had to do two drive-bys, it was mad. He finally died drawing the TOGs attention while I positioned myself to kill the TOG. Rip, little buddy.

I've been power-grinding the Lorr 40t and this pubbie, bless his heart, charged me in an MT-25 while I was reloading. He himself had the autoloader. Every single one of his shots bounced off the front of my armor as he tried to drive by. I didn't have any experience with MT-25's outside of watching them die ineffectually about 100% of the time, so I didn't really know how powerful the guns on it are. Watching all of those shells bounce might be the most surreal thing I've ever seen in the game.

Every single one of his shots bounced off the front of my armor as he tried to drive by. The autoloader on the MT-25 can really gently caress up a Lorraine/AMX 50 series tank if they manage to get to the side or rear. The autocannon on the MT-25 has 46mm of pen, which is just low enough for the angled front of a Lorraine to bounce. If he'd managed to get to your side, you could have lost up to about 1200 health. The gun is generally a bad idea, but its so goddamn fun to just lay into someone who isn't expecting some stupid looking tank to spray shells at them for 30s, then run off. Plus it will eat other light tanks alive.

I grinded mine with the 57 mm (ZiS-8 IIRC) which is a usable gun (especially with APCR) albeit a peashooter.

I've started trying my MT-25 with the 37mm autocannon, it absolutely wrecks almost all other light tanks. A lot of other tanks are vulnerable to it, you just need to get to the flat side or rear armour, and you are guaranteed to wreck the crew and modules. It's particularly good at starting fires, for one thing.

I use a Plantronics 86050-05 Gamecom 380 Gaming Headset. Perfectly good quality sound. Apparently the mic is decent. And it has withstood an awful lot of being dropped on the desk as I walk away from Tanks. I think they're under £25 on Amazon.co.uk.
