Yeah but doesnt this latest change mean the panther II gets the same gun?

The Panther 2 will be getting the comically long 88mm L100 gun (which was previously only available on the E-50), but it always had the regular long 88mm L71 gun which it shares with the Panther 8.8

Did the VK 72.01 (K) really need a speed nerf? It was a faster E100 with a shiter gun. Now what is it? Just a shitter E100 reject?

gently caress you WG.

Also, the Witcher 3 grabbed me by the hair and ran in the opposite direction of WoT.

Fake Edit: lololol @ the T28, T28 Proto and T95 speed boosts. I liked the Proto, now it seems like it won't be that bad.

I just noticed the duration. :stare: Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but don't you get a 1-hour ban after like 2 TKs in a single battle or something? How the hell do you get to the point where you can even earn a month-long ban?!

Also, ROFLBurger, you're "butte" in-game, right? I think a pubbie complained to me about you for some random TK a couple weeks ago. :rolleyes: I told him something along the lines of, "I'll have top men work on it right now. Top...men...." :3:

Butte gets off on finishing off low health teammates at the end of the game. The TKs are deserved because they are all terrible pubbies.

My TK policy is as follows:

  • kill friendly pubs with low health towards the end of a winning match and watch them have a meltdown in chat
  • kill friendly pubs that are mouthing off
  • kill friendly pubs that bump me while I'm aiming
  • track friendly pubs that are going to finish off an enemy tank before I get a shot

Also, I got a handful of hourly bans, then a 7 day ban, and last night got my first 30 day ban. You're safe until you start powering through those hourly bans I think.

I would do that too if I were in a KV-4, sounds fun.

And yeah support tickets about basically everything are ignored, physics abuse isn't reportable, proven cheat usage isn't reportable, etc.

Back: Broken.

T-34 still owns a lot. Aim time on the 57mm is a bit of a pain in the rear end, but goddamn, does it put out damage ever so good.

Still stuck on Heavy tank 12? Block 3x your HP and cause 2,000 damage. Getting pubbies to shoot me enough is surprisingly difficult, they are starting to realize that shooting a tank in the same spot over and over again probably wont change the outcome from the last shot.

I ground up to that shitbox 3 years ago and have been enjoying the gently caress out of it after coming back and finding it got super buffed. Regularly had games of 4000+ damage bounced just by driving forwards at enemy tanks. It sounds bad that they're dropping the lower plate, but they're also removing the upper plate weakspots and hugely buffing the side so....

They are, assuming they haven't changed their plans. They'll be the same thickness as the front, iirc, so it's a pretty significant buff.
