So, which do you prefer, Pz Sfl VIb or Pz Sfl VIc, or PzKpw VI Tiger B that was designed as a succesor to PzKpw VI Tiger E, or Panther series that chronologically goes Panther D - Panther A - Panther G - Panther F. Germany in WW2 was only nation that could take manufacturer prototype designations and make them more confusing when they entered service.

Sometimes a there's a T4 tank in a T8 game driven by a player with less than 500 games played. Then you find out he still outdamaged half of his team.

You know how the chat system changed so that messages sent while the receiver is offline are saved until they come online? Well pubbies don't even understand the chat system. I got accused of "waiting until the second I logged in, saying a bunch of poo poo, and running away" [spelling and grammar corrected]. The Sherman III is truly miserable and I should have just skipped my way to the Firefly, but I'm close enough now that it'd feel like a waste of effort. I know this is just throwing good time after bad but I do it anyway. What the gently caress is wrong with me?

With all the reasons this games finds to charge you money I'm surprised it doesn't make you buy all your ammo up from zero every time you die. Because you know... The ammo was in the tank that is now destroyed. Have to keep up with the profitable realism.

There's a good number of changes, as Obsidian has progressed through the focus tests. The first one was basically a copy of WoT, but they've iterated a lot since then. Artillery is very different- you get a special sixth sense-like notifier when you've been targeted, shells do low damage, but are quite accurate and much faster firing than wot shells. They're also going to implement 'support' shells, like damage-increasing flares and obscuring smoke. Also, artillery generate pings for the enemy as they shoot, and become visible, meaning you have to move or get wrecked. Also, a Battleviewer-like 3rd person perspective is the default. A lot of quality of life changes- Sixth sense is a default behavior, AFVs not only get normal 'light tank' perks (camo, speed), but also grant damage amplification when they target an enemy vehicle. Premium ammo doesn't exist and they aren't locked to only 3 types of ammo on a tank. No paper tanks- tech trees aren't tied to nationality, so you don't need to invent 4-5 tanks to populate a nation's tech tree. Obsidian have said that they aren't going to implement a tank that didn't have a working prototype at minimum. New elements to reflect the timeframe- you have ATGMs, many armor types, ERA and smoke grenades. There's even PVE content in development beyond bot matches, although Obsidian has been pretty cagey about what this will involve beyond there being multiple group sizes and it being objective-based. It's way too early to talk about this game 'killing' WoT or anything equally hyperbolic, but it's hardly a carbon copy. There's even more changes that they haven't fully implemented either, like the commander system. I'm cautiously optimistic, mainly based upon how much Obsidian have changed from the first test late last year.

Also no one plays the second russian TD line, so who cares about making them worth playing, since their winrate is not problematic (which completely ignores the fact that since there's 15 players per team, the winrates end up averaging themselves out naturally)

WitchFetish posted:Because the SU101 was added in 2012, Obj416 was added in 2014. Except they did buff the SU-100 M1 and SU-101, just not enough to make it worth the immense downsides (just like the WZ-132). The SU-100 M1 is a great tank that's difficult to play. The SU-101 is a mediocre tank that's difficult to play. The 416 is an insanely good tank that is slightly difficult to play but is still fun, while also being merely decent when played poorly. If you play the TDs poorly, they do literally nothing and die - if you play the 416 poorly, you merely miss a few shots that you could otherwise have gotten.

I'd waffled between that and the six pounder but the derp really is the better gun just because of how poor the handling on the six pounder is. You are not going to be hitting enough shells with the six pounder to realize the DPM advantage and it's not a viable gun like the 76mm is on the Sherman. sarmhan posted:Artillery is very different- you get a special sixth sense-like notifier when you've been targeted, shells do low damage, but are quite accurate and much faster firing than wot shells.

WG is going to bitch and moan for two or three years about how their arty implementation is better than AW's and then quietly and slowly move WoT's arty system in that direction. Well I can dream.

HOLY loving poo poo GUYS THE IN GAME REPORTING WORKS!!!! I didn't play any games yesterday though (and I also wasn't chat banned) so who the gently caress knows when this was from. Also, as anyone who's platooned with me can attest, I insult and provoke constantly in all-chat so that it took this long and that the ban is so short is kind of hilarious. For the EU people - the NA server stopped letting you submit support tickets for in-game behavior. They are incredibly incompetent. e: by the way don't submit tickets for physics abuse either, they're letting the in-game reporting system handle it even though there is no longer an option for "pushing or ramming allies" like there used to be.
