From what I recall he's just barely above average, I think like 90% of the active posters in this thread would look like Camador when compared to him. Actually he's not completely awful, but he's certainly not good enough to be passing definitive judgement on tanks he plainly doesn't know how to play.

something is up with these missions. most battles are really bad, last night was awful. my recent stats took a 500wn8/3%wr dip the moment missions got introduced. Unless i play really exceptional tanks, i can't carry for poo poo atm.

also, i skimmed through ftrs writeup of the CDC, and it doesnt sound like what ive heard about the tank at all. it just doesnt fit with the gameplay videos ive seen of the at all. apparently its actually slow or something according to ftr. "30 kmh uphill is slow, it turns super slow, 57 kmh with super acceleration is slow" wtf. it looks like a really good leo pt on t8 damnit.

he also found the panther 88 completely unworkable tho, and im beginning to really like that tank. currently the one i go to for money (even though its not the greatest earner), 88l71 gunhandling rocks. #snapshootallday

yeah, im thinking the tank might suffer from leo-syndrome (big+paper armour), but i would think that is less of a problem for a t8 vehicle. mobility is king, more so when youre bottom tier. unless the gun handling is terrible or something, it sounds like something i'd love.

The gun handling is fairly mediocre at 0,2/0,16. It's a pretty painful combo with the super-fragile turret since you'll miss a bit too often if you just do a split-second peek, Patton-style.

It sure does move fast though.

The same thing happened to me, as anyone in TS with me for the span of about a week can attest to.

took me 70 games to set something in fire in a medium. played nothing but meds for days. also, gently caress whatever the missions did to this game. ive had a week of sub-50% wr and generally atrocious games now. was going steady at 60% for 12000 games before they introduced this loving poo poo

e: everyone should install the Advanced Aiming System mod, its excellent and done rather elegantly. it automatically adjusts aim distance for stuff for a second or two after you hover over a tank. if something gets despotted in teh distance right before you fire you won't shoot far above them. easier to lead shots in the distance too.

i would just like to say that the graphics in ships were generally pretty bad. i dont understand why they dont use higher res textures for the ships, if you zoom in in any degree teh textures are all smudgy. portholes and other small details are not actually modelled, but are merely "painted" on with textures where you can see blocky pixeledges. the actual sea abnd the black smoke when firing looks allright, but everything else looks dated and lowpolygony. the islands are incredibly undetailed, with lovely looking foliage (if any). also, smaller guns like AA are completely stationary and dont follow their targets. graphics-wise the whole game was a completely underwhelming experience tbh

One of the mods was discussing this in the WoWS TS is all I know but it was being discussed actively in game chat. No idea if this applies to SEA but I don't see a reason why they would exclude?

About the graphics chat in a previous post, this is still in Alpha.. remember what a bucket of poo poo the tanks looked like early on and still do in some cases? Even the early Alpha island models were complete garbage compared to now. Honestly I could give a gently caress all about what the islands look like or even close ups of the ship for that matter. I am focused on delivering hot death to the guy on the receiving end and how often will I get to see that close a detail of the other ship while in combat? In the port is another story but even then it's not nearly as important what they look like compared to the gameplay being priority. Pretty can come later but not at the expense of FPS and playabilty. I am sure most people will agree on that.


I like to stick to one of the bigger ships and pop smoke once we are closer to the range of engagement to help them out and to set the screen for myself as well. Enough times I have not been focused down when in the company of a bigger threat and that allows me to send off at least a volley of torps and run for cover while I reload and fire off a few shots in the process.

hey i played planes, and it didnt change in any noticable way from alpha to release or now. it looks quite good at a distance, but closer inspection of anything reveals dated lazy graphics. i have no faith in them improving anything but the textures before release tbh. also, the only reason ships (and planes) run so much better than tanks, is because there are so little detail on the maps. ships is basically a large flat surface with a couple of islands consisting of like 20 polygons and a couple of slightly higher polygon count boats. tanks has stuff all over.

also, make a thread for ships already. dont blame the loving nda or whatever either, because youve already been discussing ships for pages and pages in this thread without caring about it

It's surprisingly quick.

Thats the thing! I expected it to be a tier 3 heavy, but its not at all. the armour is shockingly thin actually, at 14/8/8 everything pens you at any angle essentially. however, it goes 40+ easily, turns really well and has a bullshit howitzer. the gun has essentially the same pen with AP and HE 43 vs 38 and ridiculous 90 pen HEAT round. Of course, the shells probably has some of the absolute lowest shell velocities in the game, but who cares. its t3, pubbies are awful and the grosstraktor stomps reds like no other. it essentially oneshots everything on its tier, and has hitpoints like a t4 vehicle. it sees 5s however, but you can still dish out damage against them if you stay a bit back. also it looks wonky as hell (this is a good thing) and has a weird butt-turret (this is also good).

accuracy nerf was completely destructive to the flow of the game. instead of doing fast peeks and firing or shooting on the move, you now have to stop and aim if you are to have any chance of hitting your shots. unaimed shots seems to hit a completely random point within your aimcircle, no bias towards the middle at all. its terrible
