It feels like with some people all I hear is "nice warpack" when doing things like hitting a moving vehicle, spotting a enemy tank, hitting an enemy tank, hitting an enemy tank a second time, hiding behind cover when 6th sense goes off, and so on. Leading a vehicle in a straight line at 200m is not that hard.

A much, much larger hitbox and much, much worse camo. The toaster has a good gun, but it's really painful to play. It's not as fun as the Marder.

edit: its stationary camo is almost as bad as the marder's moving camo

I am finding that pubbies must apparently never really see the 112. I held an entire flank for several minutes against 6 tanks, blocking some 7,000 damage until some rear end in a top hat light discovered he could move like 12 feet and then autopen me in my sides. That turret and UFP is just buff as hell.

Would the Schmalturm be any good if the HD version's spaced armour actually works? I'm not familiar enough with the tank to know why people dislike it.

What it brings to the table is its premiumness for crew training and the 75mm/L70 gun. It's bad because it's slow as poo poo on top of being poorly armored which makes it a chore to play. The VK3002M and VK3001D blow it away for usefulness. If you want a premium German medium tank get the T-25 or the War Crimes Panther (is that still sold?).

If you can manage to only expose your turret in a range fight you can bounce a lot of tier 5 tanks but that requires a lot of magic to happen.

Hey so I had a weird thing happen last night. I had my turret turned to my left side say a full 90 degree's. I then had an enemy pop on my right so I click on him and auto aimed on him to start turning my turret but when I did that my turret literally did a flip in the air and wiggled around and then all of a sudden it was point forward and continued to turn. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

We lost a stronghold fight due to that last weekend. A PINGU dude is sitting there holding left click on one of the last remaining enemies, when his turret turns ~45 degrees to the left, throwing their shell into the wall. Us dead folk were just watching in amazement. Obviously that enemy survived as a oneshotable instead of our teammate.

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

Basically your client tells the server where your reticule is pointing, and the server and client separately rotate the turret toward that point (this is also why, when a tank rounds a corner while aiming at it, other players will see it turn its turret toward the corner when it's already passed it). Some times when you turn your reticule ~180 degrees the server and client will rotate the turret opposite ways, thus leading to shenanigans when a player starts turning their hull with their turret (for the client) but for the server they turn the hull opposite to the turret.

The wigging out when auto-aiming I am guessing is a result of the client getting more turret direction information from the server when autoaim is engaged, and does not know how to deal with conflicting coordinates between client and server.
