When I started playing again I had no mods and a friend suggested Aslains and I have been using it and dont mind it thus far....what is bad about it/should I use this "OMC" instead if I am just a filthy casual at this point in time?

OMC has what I consider a better XVM config. That's basically the difference.

Hey guys, I found a bot.

43% win rate after 23k battles. Holy poo poo.

Uh, just the other day I saw a dude with 40% global WR in a tier 10. My survival rate is higher than his winrate. Then again, Camador's survival is higher than my WR so....

Hey tanks folks,

haven't played in ages due to only having a Lenovo T440 while studying in the US, but I'm back in Germany for a visit over the next 5 weeks, albeit on a lovely 1500mbit line. Can I just download as much of the update torrents in the client as I can, shut the PC down and resume the updates the next time I boot up? I just painstakingly got through the first gigabyte, but need to shut the machine down temporarily.

Unless you facetiously mean "m" as in "milli-" in "lovely 1500mbit line" then your "lovely" connection is better than what a lot of us are stuck with here in the US. 1500 Mbps = 187.5 MBps; I have something like (tested) 3 MBps down and 0.6 MBps up on a U-Verse VDSL connection. (To be fair, the actual connection is capable of more than double that but some of it is reserved for the IPTV streams.) It's perfectly sufficient for my purposes (e.g. I don't do any torrenting) but aside from the locations that can get fiber, a lot of us are stuck with a poor excuse for broadband compared to what other areas of the world get. :( 'MERKA! :911:

Duzzy Funlop posted:

Quick ancillary question:
Should my excruciatingly slow patching finish sometime tomorrow, is the OMC modpack launcher thing still a reliable deal to stick with, or are we doing something else these days?

OMC is still highly recommended, but as of this moment is not updated at all for 9.9. I was more than a little disappointed to see the new patch was out and no mods were available; I'm not going to bother playing because of this, and I'm actually kind of glad that I spent the whole day out of the house anyway.

It's pretty much just any other tier 6 german tank with the 8.8. Does well against tier 6's and most tier 7's but even with silver ammo tier 8s can be a problem. I plan to grind a nice Jap heavy tank crew with it.

So Clan Wars has a separate tab in the statistics now:



I'm glad gimmick throwaway tanks like my M60 and VK7201 have bad winrates in clan wars from when we brought joke tanks, and my actual great clan wars tanks like the E4 and 183 have really good winrates from when we brought an actual team.

Naturally these are still counted in overall statistics because wargaming.

How does the new AA look in motion/live? Temporal AA is going to look good still, but motion is not as certain.

Just checked, you can see it in edges not being as smoothed when moving the camera but you have to be looking for it and know what to look for. Actually really not bad in practice.

Also, jesus gently caress WG add a 21:9 aspect ratio so the tanks don't look stupid as poo poo if I try to run the game fullscreen.

gently caress wargaming and their stupid nazi bullshit for not renaming that poo poo before the patch came out. I'd understand a bunch of russians not being familiar with US racist terms, but WGA should drat well probably not have that poo poo out there.

The problem is of course that the Spahpanzer is goddamn adorable, so it having an incredibly inappropriate name is just wrong.

Game is loving gorgeous now and runs like a dream. It's amazing how much of a difference they've made. My only issue is that I can't find the option to kill the depth of field without also killing the other postprocessing, and the DoF makes it hard to distinguish silhouettes at a distance and also seems to blur the target outlines. It's a problem for long-range shots.

Also, Mesa: I just ran headlong into a T20 scouting the ruins on Airfield. I oneshot him to within an inch of his life (1,082 damage, and a fire). I then also oneshot the AMX 13 75 that tried to rescue him.

The best kind of feels start with a fire, and end with tears.

So yeah, I know my computer is a hot hunk of poo poo but in game I get 70-80 FPS. When I try to record videos through using Overwolf (or what ever the gently caress it is called) my FPS drops to high 20's/low 30's. Is this a problem with the game or my hunk of trash computer?

Also, yesterday was a good day. I actually left my play session of tanks feeling happy.

Just found this gem on another forum in a discussion regarding using color statistics and spriting.

quote:

To be brutally honest, I'm not liking this way of analyzing sprites very much - it's sort of like the XVM conspiracy with World of Tanks. Someone pulls of your stats and calls you a noob for having a 30% winrate over 7,000 matches. Now, you could be a bad tanker in a 1v1 scenario, but you could also be one of the best team players, backing up your other teammates, moving up with pushes, or even simply being there to deter an enemy from rounding the corner or not dying in the first 5 minutes of a match.

See that's what I'm afraid of, but the fact that they pulled the Mauschen for being poo poo when it at least had armor gives me some measure of hope that the line won't be *that* bad.

The difference is that the Maushen was one tank. This is an entire tree that they put A LOT of time and money making. There won't be a knee-jerk response to these abominations.

Edit: what I am trying to say is, if they are hot garbage they are staying.

He's literally saying you could lose a lot but that doesn't mean you don't do things that help you win. Then why the gently caress haven't you won?

Also, pretty sure the mauschen is awkward because it's too well armored against lower tiers to not be dogshit at other things to the point where it sucks too much against higher tiers. Tighten your tier spread WG.

Storm was quoted saying they will be "stressful" to drive, so expect poo poo mobility (as you should) and poo poo gun bloom. They are all huge box tanks, too. Good thing I don't have a spare Japanese crew around, I won't be tempted.

And all this time I thought winrate meant your record in random battles with a team, and not in 1v1 encounters. Wow do I feel dumb :blush:

In other news, I got a half-assed modpack from Solo. I hate his XVM config, but at least I have crosshairs. Hopefully OMC updates soon.

To be fair, we did poo poo in a lot of people's cheerios and held on to the most valuable land on the old European map for aaaaages. It is just ridiculous that I have more gold ammo than I can fire, a ton of gold consumables, a Type 59, a few other lower tier premiums, and 8k gold in the bank, but only ever spent $15 on the game four+ years ago.

edit: then took two years off once Chair vanished and have not used any of the other means available to earn easy gold.
