So I did this:

And basically I had a very intense game. I did as you said and saw the G.W. Panther was what you said he was. So I followed him. The video will explain the rest.

Note how, at the beginning, you're so far south that you can't actually render the enemies that are usually first spotted; the red circle is your render range. Typically the fighting will happen in the far north, but it just happened that the EBR was a CSPAM mod and YOLO'd down the tracks. You'd normally be around ~G3 to shoot the NW, but this math played out abnormally. Also your idiot team completely ignored the east; otherwise you could've been around H6, K7, etc.

Since you're new, I'd recommend the "POGS" contour icons; they show you armor values, view range, etc., and are super helpful, so much so that I still use them.

Your interest in the WoT Classic mode exceeded all of our expectations. The influx of players to Classic server was way bigger than we could have handled at the moment! To avoid the waiting time, we suggest you to check out the main server.

We have activated a x5 XP bonus for the first victory of the day from March 30, 1:00 PM (CET), April 1, 8:00 AM (CEST).

Note: Today, the x5 XP bonus will not be visible in the tanks carousel. For the first win of the day you will receive your standard x2 XP bonus, and after 1:00 PM you will also receive the extra x5 XP bonus on the second win of the day. It will appear in your post-battle results. Tomorrow, Sunday 31st you will only see the x5 XP bonus in the tanks carousel as usual.

Ok, you have XVM installed, but you don't have stats enabled and you have another mod that shows TDs as blue and arty as purple, so when I said "follow a purple" you followed an arty. :downsgun:

To enable stats in XVM go here: https://modxvm.com/en/

Click the Sign In button in the upper right and then follow the instructions to link your Wargaming account to XVM. Once they're linked, a link to Activate Statistics will appear in the menu on the XVM site. Click that, restart tanks, and you're good to go.

You'll know it's working when everyone's name changes colour and they have a bunch of numbers beside them instead of just grey --% when you press tab. The more purple a number is, the better. Follow people with purple numbers.

One thing to fix: you've got the rating displayed as Wargaming's player rating or whatever, which nobody uses (it's that column mostly showing 4-digit numbers but the guy at the top has 5 digits.) Go to modxvm.com - settings - rating - change it to wn8.

The only other thing you need to fix is that winrate! :imunfunny:

Also, I thought about dipping into Wot Classic for a laugh or two, but I'm not sure whether it running at 11 fps is :thejoke:, or if something's just horribly broken with my machine since my last stint in frontline had me experience incredibly odd performance hits as well.

Mind you, all other games are running perfectly fine. Satisfactory on ultra-everything runs like a charm.

Which reminds me, I should play more Satisfactory instead of tanks.

If you can't look at stats without raging the gently caress out, that's on you.

KD wanted to know where to go on maps. Being able to identify the good players on your team and watching where they go and what they do is an easy way to learn that.

The Type 4 and 5 are getting a huge loving HE gun nerf on the super test server. Standard HE damage dropping down to 900, and you get HESH as a gold round with only 750 damage and 192mm pen. Literally half the damage of the old gold round.

And they're also smacking the shitbarn too. Mostly maneuverability for that tho.

Why don't they just make the 14cm gun usable and remove the 15cm and then it will be a Japanese Maus basically? Instead now both guns are trash. WG does it again

Wargaming's response to "it's impossible for the defenders to win in a mandatory WoWP battle mode" was to rebalance it so attackers couldn't win. At least the rounds only last two days on, two days off at a time instead of five days a week!

Of course, they didn't revise the missions to be all doable in those two days. Even a minor fix needs to be broken somehow.

They have no incentive to do that. Publishers see their old games as competing with their new games. Once tanks dies you lose what ever you have put into it so don't get too attached.

It was very on brand for Wargaming to bring back up 0.7.0 for a weekend and gently caress it up to the point it was unplayable. We brought back this neat mode from the past! But put it on the test servers so the lag is unbearable, also its broken.

The idiotic thing about the 4005 was that, if you'll recall when they first introduced it, they nerfed the 215b 183's mobility and added armor to differentiate the two; the former was the mobile, glass cannon, and the latter is the slower, heavily armored one. Now they're also making the 4005 slow but leaving the gun alone. Because you know, that was the whole problem with the 183-equipped vehicles.... :rolleyes:

The 140 mm gun would be fine if it had pen. The Type 4/5 could basically be the Jap E-100 if it had an appropriate gun, but the 150 mm with HE (and especially that premium shell) was inappropriate in the first place.

This is so exquisitely-:wargaming: I have trouble putting into words :lol:

There was a single thing wrong with the Type 5. A single thing. It was an obvious thing. The community was unanimous about it. Content creators were unanimous about it. It had a gold HE round that needed to go away.
There was nothing else to rebalance about it. No cross-connections to other tanks or mechanics, no synergy effects to be considered. Absolutely nothing.
Literally take away the gold round and you're good.

Nnnnnnope.

Let's also nerf the standard round and not change the ROF to the point the gun becomes worse than the tier 8 version. But it's okay, we're going to BUFF the standard gun, but we gotta be really careful because the tier 9 tank has the same gun, so this is really delicate. Let's give it 3mm more standard pen and 8mm more premium pen.

Like, I cannot stop laughing. :lol:
