Is it going to be 80k in the KV-3 to get to the IS-2-II?

Tier 7 to 8 final jump is usually between 70-90k, I think i bank 90 total to be safe. Also, the Lancen as well as the T10 med are surprisingly enjoyable if anyone was curious about that line.

It's hard to imagine how it is even possible for so many people to die with 0 damage and the rest to only hit something a single time. Edit: actually it seems the vk2001 hit 2 things due to having 2 kills somehow. Everyone else bar you literally either hit nothing at all, or hit 1 (single) thing.

Fat Jesus posted:yeah I heard that but I'm not sure about it, I shot one there and didn't pen, maybe my aim was off and I got penned twice in mine thru the turret next to the guns and I've been shooting other DP's that exact spot and have yet to pen one there so I'm all wtf atm. I want to get another goon of two to go into some training map where we can shoot hot loads over each others faces About a week ago I posted a screenshot showing that the mantlet was indeed like <200 or something pennable at its tier, if you want to go back and try to find it. Tanks.gg still doesn't have an accurate armor model but the in-game one (with the mod) is apparently correct, as Skill mentioned as much in a recent video. Hellsau posted:+/-25% RNG on penetration is the loving worst design mistake Wargaming made. That much RNG is terrible in every aspect of the game: the shot dispersion, penetration, and damage. There's absolutely no reason that skill should be removed from the game by RNG providing that effect due to excessive randomization. (Or you know what I'm trying to say.) VideoGames posted:Please do not post like this, thank you. I'm assuming that you get an alert when people use words like "gay" and "c-spam mod," but just to let you know he's making a reference to the fact that our goon clan, PANSY, is this game's premiere LGBTQ clan.  BadLlama posted:Anyone seen my team? The coveted, "my team was so bad I literally outdamaged all 14 other players [and it wasn't even close]"!  Mesadoram posted:Double barrel tank info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0U2aFRf_Mg You definitely have to beware when converting to free XP, because even though it greys out tanks that were elite but now have more researchable components to warn you, there are no such indicators for banked XP for future researchable tanks. Also, from that video and the referenced article:  This image (whose filename, "skrinshoty dvukhstvolnogo" apparently translates to "double-barreled screenshots"  ) gives me strong  vibes: Anyone think they could do a little work in Photoshop to make a GrittyTank or something? BIG HEADLINE posted:Is it going to be 80k in the KV-3 to get to the IS-2-II? I posted about this a month or two ago. Basically, the XP is highly variable (depending on total XP up the line but also the modules in the way) but to be safe bank like 80-100k and that should cover it (I think the range at tier 7-9 was potentially 60-120k IIRC.)

Hey that was my nickname in high school!  Fat Jesus posted:didn't someone post one that started with Jew? Yeah, that was me. It was the "Bear Jew" Inglorious Basterds reference, which isn't even necessarily offensive, but was still kind of jarring given what we know about a large chunk of the game's playerbase and frankly also the chuds that walk among us now openly spewing antisemitism.

"Okay, so we need to code a database for new screen names for the Anonymizer feature. Should we just force interns to copy words from a dictionary?" "I have an idea! Let's have the client capture words said in the general chat that only the most horrible people type in, as well as banter between players in games, and make the new names from those!" "Brilliant! Surely *that* would never bite us in the rear end!"

Thank you! I did get a report in the forums but I had a strange feeling I had had a similar sounding discussion before about it and I thought if I posted in thread someone could let me know that I was wrong and explain again. It is much appreciated!  And I am very sorry to you BadLlama.

The possibility of "Jew" going in the place of "Naturto" in that randomized string is non zero, I'd bet. Unless they took the time to make sure that doesn't happen, which would shock me. :WARGAMING:

It performs very well in FL provided you know the flanks and locations to be in the battle at the right time during crossfire. Plays exactly the same way in random battles. Just kinda wish its as awesome as the Primo Victoria. I perform very well so far in the tank but I can see how it's not a super great fantastic tank. Maybe if it got the suspension as the medium and TD's it would be better.

On a whim, I decided to grab 75 boxes despite not having played in about 6 months, because I figured it's still the best gold/premium for money value to stack up on for when I get the itch again, and I figured I'd get back into the game for a spell when the double-barreled tanks go live next year anyway. My question now is: Did Wargaming massively increase the probability / value of the boxes this year? Because I can't remember getting this huge of a haul in the last two years. I got the double-barrel, the E75-TS, some Bretagne Panther, five more lower-tier premiums, skins for the 140, 430U, JPE100, 62 days of premium, 55k gold, and - surprisingly - barely a lot of silver at all. On top of that, I didn't just get the double-barrel once, but twice in 75 boxes.  Is this Wargaming's damage control for being accused of gambling in games, or what gives?

you got lucky, my 75 just got the progetto and all the lower tier tanks and skins, 26 or 28k gold and 45ish days of premium, then I bought 3 more boxes cause I needed another 1k gold and ended up with a double barrel so idk what to make of it

I suppose it is good in a way, because a good player in this tank is a terror. Edit: So this game from yesterday was NOT a ace tanker. The gently caress are people doing in this tank...

I cracked and burned through a lot of blueprints so I could skip the lovely French tier 8 AMX 65t. I am glad I did because once you get the turret on the M4 51 it is a beat, like the T29 but at tier 9. You can gently caress up and the hull sides aren't great but that turret front is made out of an alloy of stalinium and bullshit.

The 65t is only lovely if you let people see your hull or get the *upgraded* turret. The stock turret has great armor, a smaller cupola, and the 100mm can pen most T9's rather easily with a fast reload. Its not a great tank by any means, but its a lot better than a lot of people say IMO. It's hull armor is completely useless for sure though, but so are a lot of Tier 7-9 tanks it seems.

There's a good reason why nobody else went near the idea, the closest NATO equivalent being a West German casemate project I can't recall the name of right now.
