I've been accused of being a "reroll" a couple times recently. My stats aren't even good. I just have a positive win-rate and have played relatively few games.

I've been getting PMs from clan leaders in game because I'm usually not poo poo and my legacy stats from when I played with goons 2+ years ago make me look like I am not a schmuck. It is really strange.

I loving miss the original hedgeclipper before there was any of this illegality bullcrap.

Whenever someone throws out warpaccusations make sure you ask exactly what cheats are being used. Nine times out of ten it'll be something that is either not possible (like autopen shells, auto crits, "aimbot"), is something actual good players would do ("How did you know I was there cheater!?" after watching someone spotted and going down an alleyway, so you setup a trap) or is just adorably laughable ("matchmaker hacks" "infinite armor" somehow changing their tank characteristics on the fly somehow). Very rarely is there an accusation that actually has any weight.

"Matchmaker hacks" seems to be one of the newest common hackusations I read in the ingame chat.

To be honest, half of the pubbies probably don't even run 6th sense, which wouldn't surprise me one bit. The free to play mentality of some players is so bad that they won't spend any gold on retraining crews/skills, even if they have 12k gold.

# ? Jul 9, 2015 23:20

i dont spend gold on retraining skills either, but i still have sixth sense on all the tanks that have a 100% second skill. it doesn't become extremely necessary until tier 8 anyways (though its real nice to have tier 7 and below) and by that point sixth sense is trained up, even with silver retraining

Guy accused a yellow Luchs on my side of "being suspicious". I asked him what, exactly, he thought the Luchs with 750 WN8 was doing and he said something along the lines of "don't know how he knew I was here, just saying....". People who play this game are unbelievably dumb.

The thing that really bothers me is people accusing other of aimbotting. There is a loving autoaim built into the game. Right loving click.

The stupidity never ceases to amaze.

# ? Jul 10, 2015 07:26

BIG HEADLINE: Jun 13, 2006; "Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"

Well, the autoaim in this game only works spottily at medium to long range if your target is stationary or if their angular velocity is next to zero (i.e. they're moving towards or away from you). Aimbotting implies your use of something that automatically compensates for angle and velocity.

I had a Foster's once too, and I thought Aussies either have horrible taste in beer or are just taking the piss on the rest of us. Which would you say is more true?

Again, I really wish our EU pubbies were as chatty (or literate) as US ones. It's hard to harvest tears when next to noone speaks/understands English.

The latter. I have never seen a pub with it on tap here except in seriously touristy places, and no Australian I know drinks it, even when desperate.

I realized the error of my ways about 1/4 of the way through it.

But it is beer, and so I needed to finish it.

Also, had a such a lovely day yesterday I think I need to take a day break. Boy was it bad :smith:

Welcome to a T8 medium with 2400 DPM and a 330 pen HEAT round, with decent mobility, good camo and armor capable of the occasional bizarre clown bounce. All in a package barely taller than the ELC. The price you pay is limited traverse, small HP pool and no gun depression, but still, it's loving bullshit.

It's not a tank that forgives mistakes easily, but handled properly it's so good at outplaying people that it feels like you reached out through the internet and actually punched them in the face through their monitor.

The T-54's top gun on a tier 8 medium? Yes. Yes, I'll take that.

With Soulfucker's help, I did MT-15 for the T-55A in it: http://wotreplays.com/site/2010568#team
(also a replay where I do 3400 damage with zero damage taken)

The stats imply that the 416 doesn't have armor. That's a blatant lie, it's capable of some truly bullshit bounces because it has armor just thick enough to avoid overmatching at some really good angles. I've had ISU's and Ferdinands bounce on the turret armor.
