After a long night of losing, ending it on the Cobra was the best idea. Such a fun tank  .

Had a fun little game in my AMX 30. Nothing too crazy, just a cozy game.    Replay: http://wotreplays.eu/site/6483452#overlord-mesadoram-amx_30_1er_prototype Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=305TLDe3JfI

Sayara posted:So something pretty huge has been found out about some old mechanic, that the reticle is like 1.71x bigger than it's supposed to be. So getting the mod to fix it will make you feel tons more accurate, and even skill4ltu started using and liking it, even if he doesn't use other than MoE mod. Grab it here: https://wgmods.net/6349 Skill today did a video about it btw. I just realized I had mentioned it in the discord chats but not here. For those that saw it but curious on it more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haor8dUyWx0

Does it really make a difference? I let the reticle collapse a little before shooting and center on where I want to hit. What does this do for me?

I don't see how it can actually do anything. The reticle is just a visual indicator for you, it's not like you can shrink your reticle down to one pixel and get a laser gun, the hit calculations, actual aiming directions etc are all done server side anyway and I would assume at that point your dispersion etc as well. Unless the issue is that the visual reticle is 100n in diameter, whereas the actual server side reticle is only (say) 80n and this just shrinks the visual to match that. But even then it doesn't actually DO anything. You'll still be just as accurate or not as you were before. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Feb 13, 2023 |

However, Skill was saying things like "occasionally your shots will still go outside the reticle" which kinda makes me wonder how accurate this new representation is.

It's all about percentages. Maybe the larger circle was 99% confidence, and the modded one is 95% of landing inside or whatever.

France is king of light tanks (both wheeled and AMX 13) plus a couple of great premium autoloaders (Bourrasque, Somua heavy and Lorr 40t) Wouldn't touch anything else. What changed? Everything is about mobile, well armored, high alpha/autoloader heavies now. e; and heavy assault TDs sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Feb 14, 2023 |

121B "Monkey King" is the first Auction offer, 20m credits opening bid: This is from the Asia server so it's not guaranteed it'll be the same on NA/EU, but it's likely. This Flash Gordon-looking thing (Progetto 46 base) is also scheduled to make an appearance under the name "Mars," which explains the Greco-Roman styling:  Can't wait for a user mod literally turning the gun into a  .

Wow, there's still no "competitive bid" listed on the shiny 121B with 1h38m to go. That means 2,500 players have yet to bid on it.

I imagine almost anyone who is interested in a 121B either already has one, or has nowhere near the minimum bid of 20 million credits (lol). I only went for the peregrine last time around because i didn't have an IS3-A yet and it was pretty cheap. It's incredibly dumb these special skins are whole separate tanks and not ...3d styles.

Next tank up is the K-2, this time for a minimum of 130k free xp as the opening bid. Watched a video about it - evidently it's another 122mm T8 Soviet heavy with super-trollish armor. Except the spot just above the gun, which could be penned with HE, it looks like. Rather than play around with posting tanks.gg images I'll let others do that. T10s will still poo poo all over them.

On top of that the gun handling and accuracy seem to be absolutely horrible, so you have to spam gold to get some pens, so it will be poo poo for farming credits as well. Not worth the asking bid of 8000 gold, if it were 2500 I'd probably bid just for collections sake.

But if it's like other t8 premium soviet heavy guns that look like it won't hit or be able to pen anything on paper, in reality it will be super accurate and pen every shot. Especially if its while firing a snap shot on the move from 400 meters away at me. Edit: Looks like its a 8000 gold minimum bid for NA. I guess the exp option was just Asia/EU?

I used to play Wolrld of Tanks many years back on PS4, but I've recently been wanting to play it again but on PC now. I've had a PC account for quite a long time though even though I never played on it because I set it up for twitch drops over time anticipating one day I would want to play again (and after logging in far as I can tell is just the opportunity for some "rental" premium tanks). However this was my mistake as I've since learned that there are referral codes and also invite codes I can apply to my account if it's new or I haven't played in 60 days so that was kinda dumb of me. I mention this because it seems if I use a referral code and an invite code I can apparently get a free permanent premium tank and some extra gold compared to my barebones old account so I'm thinking I'll just make a new account now. I did find a list of invite codes on reddit that I could use which give various tanks and gold amounts, and apparently I can only use one so I'd have to choose wisely (the one that gives a Churchill and 500 gold seems recommended though). Referral codes seem to be custom/created by players though, so I was wondering if someone here might be able to give me one, please. I hope I haven't got this wrong and I'm begging for something I shouldn't ask for here though. Also I'm in the EU and I know that the game is region locked but I don't know if that is affected by this.

Here's how referral and rewards work now: https://worldoftanks.eu/en/content/docs/referral-program-regulations/ . So less than 200 battles or not played in 60 days. Rewards for completing the referral program are in there as well. There might be some other promo codes that can give you tanks or gold etc that you can use with it, not sure. You can use my link https://worldoftanks.eu/referral/188914c7277f4b8181f2c37a12f16c12 to see if your old account is eligible, and sign up as referral if you want.

I also watched skill play with it and he couldn't hit Renes cupola 200m away. I mean you can get lucky with every derp shooter, but it doesn't seem all that good.

I had another question too for the thread in general if anyone knows the answer: When I played back on PS4 I had a tank called the "Pz 38H" which if I remember correctly was a low level Premium tank and I found it hugely fun to play with. I don't seem to see it for sale in the list of Premium tanks in the game so is there any way to get this tank on PC?

You probably don't want to make a new account because the initial signup rewards aren't all that great, but the long service rewards you get every year for having an old account are probably much better. I guess it depends on how long 'quite a long time' is though. Pz38H drops from holiday boxes and is one of the super common drops in them, it's not all that special any more though.

The Chinese version of the 50tp looks ok, but that German TD for the battle pass does not look great. Losing all that DPM when entering siege mode is gonna suck.

They're doing the same dumb thing they did with the Kunze Panzer in gimping the DPM in siege mode. It makes no sense, the tank isn't exactly crazy outside of siege mode to begin with considering it's made of tissue paper.
