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:

The only good thing to come of this is the whining on the forums.

I only recently bought the Type 4 lol :negative:

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Yes, mobility is the buff this Japanese superheavy that gets penned by everything it sees needed.

The only way that could end up being fun is if they buffed the speed so hard you could play i like a Rammpanzer. But serious lol @ making a superheavy more mobile

I am not sure and it could be pure coincidence. But I have noticed a lot more chatter in-game about playing with potatoes.

Oh god, he's transforming before our eyes. Two months tops before you're raging at people in team speak about being losers before the match starts

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.

That was to make you appreciate the game you have now and stop bitching

A few weeks ago I broke down some old hardware (mostly laptops) and pulled the drives for wiping before disposal. My old gaming laptop (Dell Inspiron 9300) apparently had WoT (and Eve, LoL, HoN, plus whatever was in Steam) from 2012. I don't even remember installing WoT on that thing, but I apparently played a few battles (at least to test it out) because I found a few screenshots from some battles I was apparently proud of:





They're dated 1/10/2012, which is about a month after I started playing. :stare:

that's pretty funny.
I saw someone complain that our team had the map awareness of Christopher Columbus once.
And someone was trying to use a joystick and wanted to know why it wasn't working.

The improved match making is really really good.
In 14 games
1 bottom tier 4/4/7
1 bottom tier 7/8
3 top tier 4/4/7
and the rest were flat +0-0

Tier 8 and 6 were fun today.

That is still leaps and bounds better than the EBR 75. By the time I was on the last day I only made to T4 at the last few hours. I thought that was drat near impossible. But this one seems way easier and somewhat feasible. I am most definitely not going to drop money on it because to me it's pretty much a little bigger brother of the T28, an already strange and difficult beast to control. I mean don't get me wrong I am sure in the hands of a better player it will definately perform I just do not like its weak spots at all. The T-S5 according to what I have read and seen on tanks.gg it seems more well rounded and harder to hit with its relative armor so long as you are hiding its lower plate (Just like the T-28). The Cupola is harder to spot and has roughly 800 more DPM. But other than that is about it.

I remember my first snap shot at distance. T26E4 on Siegfreid heading into the town from the south spawn. One of the other team's lights got spotted way out in the field, I just casually looked out that way and shot him and set him on fire while on the move. It's been all downhill from there.

i finished the type 58 grind just now too, in style with the third mark on the last battle needed to have researched both tanks ..it was awful i used all apcr every single game expensive-ish, AP the tank would be near unplayable in my opinion with its mix of awful gun depression..and useless armor, im glad thats over now i can grind IS-2 games its more reliable feeling by far

One of the most commonly requested features is the ability to avoid a particular map in matchmaking. We're pleased to announce that we're rolling out such a feature in Update 1.5! Now you'll be able to block one map of your choice and avoid it in the matchmaking queue.

How Will It Work?
With the release of this feature, we will have to make some additional tweaks to the matchmaker. This will ensure that you won’t get matchmade on your ‘blocked’ map under any circumstances. The Excluded Maps feature will only be available for Standard Battles, and not for Assault or Encounter Battles.

The feature will only work when playing Tier IV vehicles or higher and will be disabled for all three Grand Battles maps (Klondike, Nebelburg, and Hinterland).

Finally, if you wish to block a different map, you will have to wait at least 4 hours to pass since you banned the previous one.

How Will This Feature Work for Platoons?
The feature will be available only to Platoon creators. The other Platoon members' Excluded Maps will be overridden by the Platoon creator's map list as long as they are part of that Platoon.

I remember grinding the Type 58 so long ago, back when it wasn't an insufferably miserable experience and the DPM could actually be used. I even kept the loving thing to switch between that and the T-34-85 when grinding credits, but trying to play the Type 58 now is just... urgh :smith:

Eh, that doesn't really matter--some of the clips they don't ever show the HUD at all, it's all cinematic camera angles. I suspect that some of those are to hide specifically that sort of thing.

Just noticed that they changed how On Track works (on NA at least). Now you have to enter a bonus code on the website to activate the missions and they changed it from a discount to a rebate. You can make nearly 5 million credits by playing 10 games in each of the T110E4 On Track tanks.

Aside from the "enter code to activate" horseshit this is a pretty good change.
