Historical Battles, Rampage, Companies and that weird nation vs. nation thing are gone. Team Battles are basically pointless. Strongholds are good. That's a pretty poor record.

I was thinking about buying premium again, but since I don't care about grinding, and the rental tanks each weekend give plenty of credits, plus all the boosts we get for free, I don't see the point. Good strategy Wargaming.

If you only play on the weekend then it's more economically to buy a one day premium and since it lasts 24hs you can play both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon with that single day of premium.

Time for  Pasholok factsQ: Did the USSR have convertible drive tanks aside from the BT? A: Yes, one of which was even accepted into service. It started with the convertible drive amphibious PT-1 tank, which gradually became the T-29. The T-29-4 and T-29-5 are, naturally, the 4th and 5th tanks on the PT-1 chassis. The T-29 was accepted into service, but production never began. There were heavier tanks on the T-29 base, like T-29CN and T-115, but they did not get past draft projects. Overall, the PT-1 gave birth to almost 10 tanks. Q: Why do you think developers refuse to add tanks and SPGs with smoothbore guns? Many of those tanks fit into the timeframe of the game. A: The class of heavy tanks would die out. Killing off a class of tanks for 5-6 vehicles is irrational. The same applies to recoilless rifles. Q: Can you speak about the NI-1 tank? I read that the Romanians ran at the very sight of them. A: These are the same armoured tractors as, say, the HTZ-16, which I recently wrote about. The difference is that the HTZ-16 was an official tank and passed trials. The HTZ-16 was also built on the SHTZ-NATI chassis, and the NI was built on the STZ-5. This caused many problems, since the STZ-5's cabin was over the engine. This meant that its combat effectiveness was lower. Both tanks were ersatz machines, with all the consequences of that. Q: Would we ever see the U-0 tank, the prorotype of the KV-1, even at tier 4 due to the weak L-11 gun, low mobility, and thinner armour? A: Potentially, although there would be problems with penetration. Premium matchmaking is gone, and fighting tier 6 would be painful. Since the tank had a second gun, I would wait until multiple guns are supported before adding it. Q: Would we see the Pvkv m/43 in the Swedish tree? A: As far as I understand it, this vehicle is already on the supertest, it's a well known Swedish vehicle. Q: Will we see vehicles from the 80s and 90s that conform technologically to the game's setting? A: No, they are unnecessary. There are enough tanks to have to shove something in from beyond 1970, and even that is a high limit. We still have many tanks in store from the appropriate time period. Q: Why does the Type 5 Chi-Ri have a 75 mm autoloader, while Wikipedia says it should have an 88 mm gun? A: Because it's Wikipedia. Someone must have a very creative imagination. Q: Will the Swedish tree have the Strv m/41-S/III? If so, in what form? A: We're looking into it, but we don't know what form it will take. On one hand, it's a logical sequel to the Strv m/41, on the other hand it will be the third LT vz 38 in the game. It's in reserve for now, we'll see in the future. Q: Were there a lot of KV-4 variants? A: 27 designs were submitted. The most interesting are in my article dedicated to the KV-4 and KV-5. In game, we have Dukhov's KV-4, whose design won the contest. Q: Does Switzerland have interesting tanks that can be put into the German tree? A: The Swiss have enough tanks for a proper tree, not just tanks but potentially TDs. The question is if the Swiss will be a separate nation, and when they will be introduced. Q: Can you explain what the E means in a Sherman's index? What Sherman variants existed that aren't in the game, like the M4A3E6? A: E is a modification of a mass production or experimental vehicle. For example, the installation of the Liberty engine on the T1 made it T1E1. Some modifications with an E index later received their own name. The M4A3E6 that you mentioned is better known as M4A3(76)W, or M4A3 with a wet ammo rack and a T23 medium tank turret. The M4A3(105) also carried the index M4A3E5. Q: Are you planning an article on captured tanks used in the war? A: It's in my plans, including conversions. Q: Is the 122 mm gun on the SU-100 historical? A: Yes, it was called SU-122P, and was actually designed before the SU-100, but the 100 mm D-10S turned out to be a better gun for a medium SPG. Q: How come the VK72.01K doesn't have visible exhaust pipes, and the exhaust comes out from under the fenders? A: For the same reason why they're absent from many rear fighting compartment vehicles. The exhaust is vented out from under the fenders. It's the same on the Ferdinand, for example. Q: The Swedish tier 4 Lago tank is labelled as medium, but it weighed 15 tons, which is in the light tank range. Was the Lago a light or a medium tank? A: Mass wasn't always the deciding factor of a tank's classification at the time. A medium tank could be as light as 12 tons. The Japanese have the 16 ton Chi-Ha, which is also a medium tank. Q: Can you tell us more about the T78 American tank on the M24 chassis? Why was the tank not put into production? A: This was a Hellcat on steroids, an M36 GMC turret on a T24 Light Tank chassis. It was never built, but it's an interesting project, which has not gone unnoticed by us.

Hey Tankers, I need a new mouse. Last time someone here suggested this Anker 8200 DPI mouse, it was $15 and now they're all gone. This mouse is great. Anyone want to point me in the direction of a good mouse that doesn't look like a loving Horned Lizard and isn't $60?

if you can find a deathadder on sale for like $30 they're good. Ive been using one for like 3 years and have had none of the clicking/scroll wheel issues people talk about. I like the shape too

Yeah, Deathadders and the G500-successor models are what carried me through the last 11 years or so I think. First two Deathadders were free, one ate the dust after about 2 years, another 4 years later I switched to Logitech, most comfortable/ responsive two types of mice I've had so far.

My deathadder is slowly becoming less and less efficient (single right clicks sometimes get registered as doubleclicks, and the scroll wheel has lost its clear, defined clicks and just kinda rolls freely), but I did buy it 9 years ago.

 Found this guy. 42% is like impressively bad. I decided to check him out because he spent the entire match on Steppes in his warcrime panther hiding in the hills until he ran out of ammo. After firing 15 shots.

I played three games in a LT a few hours ago, I got this message: RafikiFriend (10/3/2016 12:01:27) gj being completely & utterly WORTHLESS!!! RandomPauI (10/3/2016 12:05:12) Is this about the battle where all our team sat on one side of the map, the battle where I didnt get up on a hill on time because I kept getting shot, or the battle where everyone went south leaving two lights to guard north? RandomPauI (10/3/2016 12:05:35) Because I was worthless in all of those but so were the rest of the team[s].

The double click issue happens with all mice eventually. The spring gets bent out of shape. Heavy duty springs can last longer but gaming mice generally go in the other direction. I've not had a "good" mouse last more than three years under my heavy usage, and I'm fairly certain the deathadder and g500 series use the same switches. You can bend back the spring if you open it up, but it'll probably not last as long. Probably time to replace it.
