Honestly buffing the T23 pen a little is not going to do much to make it not a totally worthless tank. They should just put up and give it the 90mm gun, even if it lost pref MM.

So you lose 143m of view range in the corners, but gain 64m at the sides. This will change how I CHAI snipe.

Descar posted:Warning Yeah I just finished going through the O-Ho. I kinda really warmed up to it at the end cause being such a flat armoured, derp firing, barn sized heavy. It had no right to be good at all. And yet somehow it worked? While the armour was flat, it was also unified so a great amount of people would be shooting the small turrets and hatches, not thinking they where the strongest part of the tank. This can apply to all tiers, though rarer when your facing a tier 10. The Derp gun should not be working in those matches too, but when you come around a corner and somehow do 400 damage reliably against E100 turret fronts while they with impunity shoot HEAT back at your heavily angled tank. Of cause its not always like this as you are a slow tank and you hate big open maps with a passion. Getting the Type 4 really put me back for abit, since until this point these heavies have had unified armour values, the Type 4 is the first tank to have weakspots other tanks can shoot at the front.

Also this is really dumb why would you even post this it's a box with 1000 meters on each side now and it's being changed into something that makes sense instead of the complete insanity of having a square render distance but circular spotting and max spotting distances.

Hellsau posted:Oh hey 0.10.0 patch notes. The goods: So I guess this also means big maps are way off given this is also going to be an engine patch (might we have to wait for the next one?), which is hosed because mediums seem to be meta right now and I am invested in that. I am also emotionally invested in blapping wehraboo shitters in bachstanks from 1.4k away in '60s MBTs, and this is an opportunity they are throwing away to bring that closer to reality. I look forward to decals and emblems being something that ever more heavily favors bittervets who bother reading. And ending up with one or two useful setups for each purpose. Imbecilic, especially considering one can't have multiples of the same vehicle. If any of them increases view range or rate of fire I will crap myself in rage.  This game was initially advertised on the grounds that it didn't have the AoE magical spammy nonsense from other MMOs so beloved of the asian markets. Having to decide whether to waste a slot on an ineffectual wet ammo rack in vehicles like the E8 that had them factory installed historically, or "morale effects" from vents/fume extractors is bad enough. There have to be irate russnerd threads on this topic already, can EnsignExpendable keep us updated?

Hellsau posted:I never was good at algebra. So you could you just say that 1000m x 1000m = 1000^2 meters? aka I put the "m" in the wrong place? Heh, you could say that but yeah. As for render range being a circle since spotting range is a circle, yeah that totally makes sense. Except it wasn't for 4 loving years for some reason. The current square model lets you do poo poo like sit in the middle of Prokhorovka and shoot anything spotted anywhere on the map (more or less, not southeast corner and possibly not northeast, but still). That poo poo will now go out the window, from that position you'll not see the campers in NW or SW corner if they're spotted. It'll be a change, that's for sure. Do however note that they're keeping the actual area nearly the same, hence the weird number 564m. As we kinda agreed up above the current is 1000x1000 = 1,000,000m^2 right? Well area of a circle is π x r^2, r here being 564m. So 564 x 564 x π = 999,328m^2. If they'd upped it to 565m we'd get 1,002,874m^2 and that would've increased the rendering area, which we clearly can't have. (Probably to keep slowdowns on old pc's to a minimum, same reason we're not getting Havok.) Valle fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Sep 25, 2015 |

The later sets of missions require you playing on one of three maps, where the enemy team is dumb enough to sit in the open and while getting shot by your teammates, who in turn have to be both dumb enough to sit far enough back where you get the spotting damage and smart enough to actually left click before the enemy team slowly waddles to your position. Also you'll have to make sure the other lights on your team won't be doing the same thing, sharing the spotting. Which they will be doing since, again, there are only like 3 maps where you can complete the missions in.

Do I really want to try to grind the brit heavy line to get the presumably free tier 8 tank? How much time is left to grind the XP? The answers are yes for now, and not enough time because I've been slacking off and avoiding playing the line.

Yeah, I was thinking of the medium line. The worst part is I went back and ninja edited it to heavy thinking that I had to have had it wrong. Also, I can't sleep, which means now is perfect to kill time with tanks. It's also the perfect time for them to do their weekly scheduled maintenance. Sigh.

A guy in battle asks about the Japanese heavies. I say the tier 5-6 are kinda good, but the top tiers not so much cause everyone will load gold and they're huge. 19k 46% dude with 44% in his ISU-152 says that nah, all the Japanaese heavies are really OP. I point out his bad stats and how they go together with his bad opinions. He gets mad and starts talking in allchat about what an idiot I am. Meanwhile the 47% STB-1 on our team (who has said this is his very first battle in the thing) starts literally pushing my 13 90 around. I talk some poo poo about him as well, and shoot near him to see if...yes! He shoots me back. Talk more poo poo. He shoots me again...and again, I die. He turns blue and stops moving. BANNED. Cue the ISU laughing and claiming justice has been served, and the STB's platoonmate agreeing. Rest of the battle is spent with those two trying to convince each other that I'm somehow angry over the outcome. Terrible loss of course, but at the same time the biggest win of the entire day. Every time you get a shitter to get himself autobanned is a win in my book!

Matchmaker makes it so the vehicles of the same type never differ by one on opposing teams right? So is the KV-220 T matched with KV-220's or only other KV-220 T's? If it's the latter, then that's pretty great. Pretty much no chance of the other team having an equal tank.

I have been trying to do LT-15 for approximately forever and have seen Fiery/Prok exactly 3 times while driving lights. They show up regularly in my heavies, of course. I really think there is a hidden trigger in the missions to give you nothing but poo poo maps/tiers when you are on a mission. I am trying to do the secondary on an arty mission where I have to kill 3 tanks higher tier than me. Pretty much insures that I get top tier constantly. Nice for my toonmates, but goddamned annoying for me.

It's probably the first one the MM ignores when it's having trouble. Still, its not supposed to do it. I mean, standard MM isn't supposed to do, f. ex., 1 SPG vs 2 tank battles either but I've had a couple of those.

That's what it feels like though.
