Stupid question, why does the bush in this video sort of disappear as he zooms in?

Is it because he has some graphic setting jacked up all the way? Because I have all of mine down low and what happens to the bush in this video does not.

One of the modpacks has a setting where you can tweak that. There is also one of the Tundra mods that only removes the leaves and bushes when you zoom into sniper mode which is p.cool.

I think something in the Jimbos reticle might do that. I've had bushes disappear in certain zoom settings beyond the standard amount.

Whoa, that's definitely noticeable. How did you do that? I used SweetFX once some time ago for a different game and I've forgotten all of the ins and outs.

Downloaded one of the all-in-one installers and dicked around with the settings until I found that. I can send you my settings file if you decide to install it again. Night and day difference and no impact on the FPS.

Illegal Carrot posted:

Can you post it here? I'd like to try it out too.

Here's a link to it on my Mediafire just to save time and not send it to a website that will inevitably send you to another.

First, TURN OFF FXAA if you have it enabled in game otherwise bad poo poo happens.

It is pretty cut and dry, unpack the zip file and place it in a folder you won't accidentally delete. My games are all installed and run off a separate drive so it lives in the folder /FlightFX.
- I run mine as admin so once you have it open you will see the gui on the tab Profile Manager.
- From there down the bottom left choose the Register New Game button.
- That will launch a window, find the game executable for tanks, WorldOfTanks.exe and it will create a new entry that will appear in the main GUI window.
- Click on your new entry and in the right pane click the box with Enable SweetFX.
- Once you enabled SweetFX that creates all the necessary folders with files and poo poo in the game folder so you can choose the Edit SweetFX settings button which will open the second tab, FX Settings which is where the magic happens.
- In the FX Settings tab there is a whole host of selections you can use to dick around and customize the look. Experiment, there are some brief explanations when you hover over the checkbox to enable a particular setting and there are sections for what you can tweak.
I will post screens of how I have mine set for reference and that is what you see in the garage.
- Run the game in windowed mode after setting up SweetFX and with the FlightFX open make the changes to the FX Settings. I would recommend for testing purposes to use the Splitscreen function, with the slider all the way to the left which is the split screen you saw in my example, that way you can see what is being changed. So game open, tab out to the FX Settings and make your change then Pause then it will make the change on the fly with the client running. Be sure whenever you enable, disable or make changes to first update by using the Pause (or whatever you changed it to) button else the changes won't update! I have multiple monitors so I can dick around and see everything without having to gently caress around much.
- One more note on tab one there are a few entries for the on/off, take screenshot and reload shaders commands as well as another checkbox to improve Steam Overlay Compatibility. The default for enabled SweetFX is the first selection, 145 is the Scroll Lock but you can click in there and change that. Reload shaders is set to the Pause key by default.

I am using SweetFX on tanks, botes and MechWarrior Online and it has made a difference in the overall look of every game. No FPS loss for me at least or random crashing etc. but YMMV.

Good luck! If you need my help PM me and I can jump on TS and help to the best of my ability.

I highly recommend you try this: Join a match with a tank that has a good amount of hp. Find a random pubbie and insult him before the match starts. Once it does, shoot him just one time. If you're lucky, he will start firing back at you multiple times which will most likely result in him getting a one hour ban. It should make you feel better.

Be sure to say "My bad I alt-tabbed out to check your stats. Whenever I tab back it just fires. No biggie, you are as terrible as I thought."

Then enjoy the fun.

My dumb mission was track tank and do damage to it. Secondary objective was destroy a tracked tank. Two enemy tanks left, a waffle and arty. Enemy waffle is looking the other way, I zoom up from behind in my batchat. I have time. I aim in, shoot him in the track, he's tracked, aim for gunshield and HOLY poo poo HUGE TANK as the Patton M46 on my own team charges in front of me to block my shot and shoot and kill the waffle. THANKS ASSHAT. And no, there's no way he didn't know exactly what he did, because there was plenty room for him to round the corner and shoot the waffle without getting in my way. So shot him in the rear end. He caught fire. He didn't have an extinguisher. He started slowly turning his turret towards me - slowly cause his crew was burning - and stopped his tank. To aim better or something. And then the enemy arty blapped him and he exploded. He didn't say anything in chat, but I got this after battle:



He closed convo immediately after that, and put me on ignore :v:

Edit:


Remember that light tanks get MM one tier up. So putting a tier 8 light's gun and a tier 8 medium's gun next to each other doesn't really work.

During the WOWs weekend, a lot of people were charging straight at their opponents with forward guns blazing.

Although a legitimate idea if the your goal is to get closer to an opponent, these people would never turn to broadside once in a good range. They just turn away and start using the aft guns.

drat I miss botes. All of you with Alpha are making me envious.

That was not uncommon with newer players. Most of us who pay regularly know better and enjoy unloading a full broadside into someone and connecting on multiple hits. I sank a Cleveland last night in one volley from my Fuso. It was glorious.

This latest patch they tweaked the aiming mechanics making it a little tougher to sink every shot all the time. Also and while you are moving and zoomed in on your target is more difficult to get a good bead on it. I like that it's less easy.

I just unlocked the Amagi and probably won't get some sweet sweet Yamato action before the beta weekend next week.

Dalael posted:

Hope they're not making it too hard tho. That one weekend I played, plenty of my shots wouldn't fully land, which is how it should be in my opinion. Lead was okay, just 1 or 2 shots would tend to go to high or wide, so only part of the salvo's would hit. If they mess with this too much, I can imagine all the people bitching because they can't land all shots in.


Next time I get to play, I'll try that. I tend to give more of a 45 degree angle, which allowed people to land pretty solid shots on me. I can see how 30 would minimize the silhouette even more.

Another nice thing about angling your ship like that, is that a lot of people seem to have a hard time figuring out your trajectory and can't lead properly.

Are torpedo destroyers still such a bitch to deal with? If there was one complaint I would have about this game, is the number of fish in the water at any given time. They might miss most of the time, but its loving annoying to spend as much time trying to avoid them as you try to shoot the prick that launched them.

Most of the people who have been around since early Alpha agree it was too easy once you get the hang of it and making it harder was a good idea.

DE's are still a pain in the rear end and if you land a match with a couple of those and CV's kiss you rear end good bye. I habitually run behind our bigger BB's and appear out of nowhere in the middle of a firefight in someone's face unloading a full spread of torps into them running off cackling. It does not work 100% of the time but when it does it is the equivalent of scoring an ammo rack in your little shitter tier 2 on a much higher tier tank. Fulfilling.
