The type 59 is getting an armour and power to weight buff lmao.

Hell yeah, the thing would be greater with a little more acceleration. Pretty much the only tank I play besides arty. When it's top tier it's a bullying machine and not so bad when not top tier. Can't complain about more armor either.

The Mod 1 is a better type 59 but thats mainly due to the insane buff it had to its engine power a few patches back. If they're bringing the type back to what it kind of was before I might start using it again.

The video, or the info on this new Premium? :v: (Answer's yes to both.)

I'm fine with this sort of "downtier a vehicle and use the historical config" thing for premiums, because frankly even WG can't ruin that sort of arrangement. They would have to put so much more effort than it's worth into making such a vehicle unplayably bad.

Also top lol at the Preferential MM Super Pershing getting a gun buff putting both its AP and APCR above the T25 Pilot which gets nothing at all, despite having to meet & greet Tier X vehicles all day every day.

There are very few maps where you can tell you've lost within the first 30 seconds, and on province unless the majority of your team crosses the map you know you've lost.

Does anybody know of a mod that makes you go full speed cruise control with one keypress? I don't know why I have to hammer a key three times to go 100%. As if there was ever a scenario I wanted to advance at 33% speed.

No, I don't know of a mod that does this, although you could probably set up a macro to do so. Also, IIRC (this is one of those things that I should have memorized but I'm doubting myself at the moment) it's only 3 keypresses if you do it slowly, otherwise a quick double-tap will put you at 100%. Furthermore, the 1/3 speed setting can be useful to creep forward and get a shot off because your aim doesn't bloom as far as at full speed.

To be honest though I personally only use 100% cruise for long distances and then the W/S keys during combat, and also I've been playing this game for several years and tapping a key multiple times for cruise has never been an issue.

Or you're in for fifteen minutes of stalemate fighting leading to a loss by draw. Which is just ~dandy~ for pubbies.

The worst part about maps like Province is that they eliminate the best players through attrition. They try to make a move or attack in a way that should tilt things just enough...only to be left to die so their team can "snipe" from afar.

And that's leaving out the horror most players will thankfully never know - having to play Province in CW.

No need to doubt yourself, doubletapping does indeed set it to max. As for actually complaining about this, it doesn't even register on the list of gripes I have about this loving game tbh.

I always used triple-R instead of trying to double tap, because if you accidentally double tap too slowly or miss your second press, you might not notice until you've thrown away a lot of time going 2/3 top speed.

For today's mission I got a pretty great game in my KV-1S, unsurprisingly it was a majority tier 5 game.

Wrecked a vk 3601 H and kv-1 with a pair of HEAT shells each and nuked a hetzer and stug iii right out of the game.

I unlocked the derp on the Type 4 and it's just plan ridiculous. Between the derp and the armour there are situations where the enemy heavies has no chance other than watching you slowly kill them with HE every 20 seconds.

Before the changes to the type 4 and 5, all I wanted was for them to simply gain the regular 15cm from the rest of the line as an option, but sure enough, Wargaming went and hosed it up by making a new loving gun and giving it gold HE, so I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to even buy the type 4 again.

I was so loving happy with the O-Ho on NA and I think I'll be perfectly happy to just grabbing it again.
