Yeah, I only really bring it up when arty bounces HEAT off of me, or its an obvious tryhard in a cromwell or something spamming gold at me in my KV-1S. And only getting a ricochet. Over and over again. Sidescraping is pretty amusing, especially when people spam gold at you, unable to figure out why their shells keep bouncing.

Sidescraping or just hugging taller tanks in general is just the best. The T59 is one of the best tanks I've found for that now that they nerfed cupola sniping.

Anyone remember when they nerfed the t-54 by having it ride an inch or so higher? I remember it used to ride a little bit lower such that a maus had a really hard time hitting it up close no matter where the t-54 was parked.

I remember that it used to sit low enough that getting an angle on the hull was near really difficult, and even if you did odds were good the shot would be eaten by the tracks. T-54 used to be a goddamn monster before they fixed that and adjusted the turret armor with more zones.

I liked when they first put out the tier 9 mediums, the T-54 and Pershing were pretty unstoppable. T-54 was difficult to pen and hard to hit, the Pershing could snapshot and go hulldown, plus had a ROF pretty close to the T-54. The Panther 2 was just ok though.

At this point there are two eventualities - WG is betting that their upcoming titles will be more lucrative (WoT with modern tanks is still a might-happen, not a will-happen), or they'll dump us all over into EU and 'haha gently caress your lag, capitalist pigs.'

I think they did, but then they spent years loving around working side stuff and ignoring the main game.
All that time into Havok physics? Dropped because of the potato computers in Russia. Multi-turret support? Still a no show. They've actually removed maps and never replaced them because they don't know what they are doing. How many times did they try to get Komarin to work? They've been talking about making Sixth Sense baseline for I don't remember how long now, but crew skills are a mess since half of them are useless.

They've actually made buying premium tanks worthless since they removed preferred matchmaking, which doesn't matter since none of the premium tanks since the E-25 has been worth looking at. Why spend money on a tank when they are simply going to toss in yet another tier 8 medium tank with a 90mm gun?

The problem is, they don't need to really do anything since all the competitors do everything worse. War Thunder didn't seem to do much. Armored Warfare is pretty much dead before leaving beta unless a miracle happens.

At least World of Warships seems to be run by people who know what they are doing. Missions aren't painful, they've been putting in actual improvements recently. Premium ships are unique without being overpowered.

Believe me, the Turan III is laughably bad with two redeeming features - Primelaw's Type 59, and Desuwa's Type 59. Why add such a complete piece of poo poo and then give it a crippling flaw like the worst ammo capacity in the game? It isn't like the T-25 was burning down the meta. Same with poo poo like the Scorpion or the KJPz - make them as good at their tiermates and then sell them for money.

Why make the gift tanks totally unplayable? Seriously the Toldi has 700 DPM, no armor, poor mobility and sees tier fives! The T7 CC is fun as hell to just spew shots out, the Tetrarch is historically good, the Pz2D is bad but workable....and the Toldi was literally advertised as a free garage slot. Why are they wasting the time to model a tank and then laugh at their playerbase for wanting to play their gift?

Technically WoT is still pre-release - we're all just really generous in saying poo poo like "9.9.1" and whatnot and leaving off the preceding zero. At this point I'm thinking ever seeing a "1.0" release from WG is like Waiting for Godot - they know if they perpetually keep it under 1.0 they can say "we're still working out the bugs."

Five years from now they'll be at 0.9.9.9991.

Naw, if you're a good player you'll frequently get banned for "unsportsmanlike conduct" even if you never use profane language, never block/ram/shoot teammates, and never do anything expressly illegal or even potentially against the rules.

It's actually a blessing since it forces me to take a few days off every now and then if I'm playing too much.

Well, voicecoms are on by default, and since I doubt console players are better than pc-players at checking out options and settings, I generally just tell them all what a bunch of loving retards they are. They may have muted me, but the thought that most of them probably don't even know how to do so keeps me entertained!

That's from the Rampage mode testing. You can dismiss them, they're not special in any way and presumably you don't need a plain 100% crew pretrained to a tier 10.
