Arty destroys the last enemy heavy tank with his last round. He starts running from the surviving enemy med tank(who's been idle the whole game). The med tank catches up and starts doing circles around him. Eventually the med starts ramming the arty, killing him slowly.<br />
- Pervert! - says the arty<br />
- Nah, forgot to buy ammo! - says the med. tankAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099374185398019361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032890474009639679.post-30143458708706905502014-05-18T09:41:00.001-07:002014-05-18T09:41:32.608-07:00From one disaster to another - Nation vs Nation and historical battle modeIt seems Wargaming just can't get it right.<br />
First it was the Nation vs Nation mode - a bit fun until you realize that its all Hellcats, KV1Ss and various other one-type-of-vehicle-only teams. Which obviously made it quite one sided in certain cases.<br />
<br />
Aaand now Historical mode. On paper - Hell, its about time.<br />
In reality - the same damn problem. Case in point - I've been unable to play historical battle mode since it was released. There's barely any interest it in it seems. I mean - there are like 5 guys in the queue and they are all sitting in King Tigers, waiting for the Ardene operation or lake Ballaton. See the problem here? There isn't much incentive for players to go with allied/soviet vehicles only to get curbstomped. There is a limit on how well you can do in your tier 6 tanks versus tier 7 and 8. While you could outmaneuver and maybe win versus a tier 7 Panther if you had an elite Hellcat, good luck doing it with just 76/75mm guns! Aaaand you can forget going after the King Tigers. He only needs to be lucky once. You need to be lucky 5-6 times to do some damage and make him retreat.<br />
<br />
I will be trying to get into it again soon, right now I'm busy with War Thunder Ground forces. Its good comparison honestly....Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099374185398019361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032890474009639679.post-70178607024488385422014-05-18T02:11:00.001-07:002014-05-18T02:11:45.447-07:00War thunder tanksSooo I've been playing War Thunder ground forces....gotta admit I like it a lot. There are no invisible tanks, You fight at proper tank combat ranges, the tanks themselves feel much better.<br />
<br />
Also - since its all about penetrating hits and not about hit points, you stand a decent chance of killing something big with something small. I mean - let's be reasonable - only ways for you to nail a 2-3 tiers bigger tank in World of Tanks are kill stealing. In War Thunder its doable. Yes, it takes luck and tactics and a little bit of daring but your dinky panzer III can take out a King Tiger on its own.<br />
<br />
The way artillery works could use some fixing - especially the time delay - its too short. its a great way to remove campers though and you need to get close to be able to deliver a precise strike.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099374185398019361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032890474009639679.post-19652238596596385792014-05-18T02:05:00.000-07:002014-05-18T02:05:00.593-07:00Paper model Tetrarch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This time we get not one, but two versions. One is the ordinary Grey hetzer that we know and love from World of tanks. The other bears the camo scheme of the Hetzer from Girls und Panzer. There are also crew figures too. You will probably have to edit the pdf if you don't want to print all of it. </div>

Wargaming keeps giving us bait for 9.0 - Panzer IV buffed with skirts, a tier 4 stug...you know - stuff we know and like. <br />
<br />
<br />
Personally i'd say the lag on EU servers should be priority numero uno buuuut who am I to argue with big WG?<br />

So in 9.0 we will have 4 versions of panzer IV(5 if we count the hydro) - normal Panzer IV, Shmallturm Panzer IV, Panzer IV ausf A on tier 3 and Panzer IV ausf D on tier 4. I kinda expected this honestly once I saw the Ausf A.<br />

Stats fail to impress too, but they are not bad either. It will be good in capable hands, just keep away from enemy HE shells.<br />

<br />
Not exactly unexpected I guess - Panzer IV could be split with ease to make for more vehicles. Not that the family is small at the moment anyway, though its lacking a tier 4 version...though they could introduce say ausf B for that too!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Of course, its nothing impressive - actually the grosstraktor could very well be superior to it ingame.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
First the grobtraktor - tier 3 german heavy. Alas - it will be tier 3<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSebI3Lanp8/UuOKAqkishI/AAAAAAAAA2U/CbuwzoOJ2P8/s1600/grobtraktor+tier+3+super+test+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSebI3Lanp8/UuOKAqkishI/AAAAAAAAA2U/CbuwzoOJ2P8/s1600/grobtraktor+tier+3+super+test+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" height="363" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Yep - food for MG tanks and well, anyone who can fire HE shells.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oMPnHrSIogA/UuOKBUJFw_I/AAAAAAAAA2c/IyUdNfP1T0w/s1600/grosstraktor+stats+world+of+tanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oMPnHrSIogA/UuOKBUJFw_I/AAAAAAAAA2c/IyUdNfP1T0w/s1600/grosstraktor+stats+world+of+tanks.jpg" height="368" width="640" /></a></div>
On the other hand - decent mobility, high health - 320, and 75mm L/24 which can deliver some HE pain on its own, especially when combined with low aim time - 2.1 seconds and 12 degrees of gun depression. The grobtraktor certainly won't win games by itself, but it will certainly claim 2-3 kills with ease.<br />
<br />
<br />
T23E3 - alias - the designated brawler med. - high rate of fire, reverse speed equal to the forward speed(!) 10 degrees gun depression combined with decent turret for some hull-down action.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2g9bTenzuHs/UuOJ_CcuccI/AAAAAAAAA18/VlGJy6c7nLs/s1600/T23E3+stats+world+of+tanks+supertest+leak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2g9bTenzuHs/UuOJ_CcuccI/AAAAAAAAA18/VlGJy6c7nLs/s1600/T23E3+stats+world+of+tanks+supertest+leak.jpg" height="368" width="640" /></a></div>
Power to weight ratio could be better, so I'd suggest taking relevant modules/skills to improve mobility.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iojv9g89Kw4/UuOKBlb-wUI/AAAAAAAAA2g/vzyddvRfVPA/s1600/t23e3+supertest+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iojv9g89Kw4/UuOKBlb-wUI/AAAAAAAAA2g/vzyddvRfVPA/s1600/t23e3+supertest+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" height="389" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally - the T95E6<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k7HYjhPWh4E/UuOJ_M9pqpI/AAAAAAAAA2E/1N9iqcmlY1Y/s1600/T95E6+supertest+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k7HYjhPWh4E/UuOJ_M9pqpI/AAAAAAAAA2E/1N9iqcmlY1Y/s1600/T95E6+supertest+leak+world+of+tanks.jpg" height="390" width="640" /></a></div>
Nothing too impressive armour wise - only the turret front can be expected to bounce shots.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a5lKNdFia2k/UuOJ_SACxZI/AAAAAAAAA2A/rVN4HZF0-Tk/s1600/T95E61+stats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a5lKNdFia2k/UuOJ_SACxZI/AAAAAAAAA2A/rVN4HZF0-Tk/s1600/T95E61+stats.jpg" height="368" width="640" /></a></div>
Its faster than pattons but with lower power to weight ratio. DPM is decent but the gun accuracy and aim time are a bit worse than on E5 and pattons respectively.<br />
<br />
Overall its not bad, but its not outstanding either.

New patch - new medals! Some old ones will be moved to the special category too. The sniper medal will have to go - replaced by the Sniper tanker medal. Difference in achievement - most damange in team, at least 1000 damage, at range 300m+, with 85% accuracy and 80% penetrating shots. Random battles only.<br />
Now the old sniper medal could easily be farmed - say with an MG tank and point-blank shots. This one rings true to the meaning - you have to be a sniper.<br />

Excellent preparation - another streak medal like the Marksmanship, this one is about 100 times on top for experience in battle.<br />

As they say - out with the old, in with the new. This also gives Wargaming even more options for events (earning king of the hill might be tricky and cause the occasional team killing....)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099374185398019361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032890474009639679.post-60536904517955364372014-01-21T00:36:00.002-08:002014-01-21T00:36:39.043-08:00Reason why RU servers got the siege of Leningrad event<br />
<br />
The event allowed some ridicilous credit production to be achieved - up to +70% credits for all vehicles, prem tanks included. Needless to say that allows some serious dosh production, 200-250k would be the norm for my KV5 per battle. One could make several millions credits per day with ease.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway - reason for that is...marketing.<br />
<br />
Yep - marketing. As you should know RU server management proudly announced reaching yet another milestone - 1 000 000 players online simultaneously. Yep - thats right 1 million. Now Wargaming can boast yet another record, for the meager price of giving RU players a bone...well more like a huge chunk of ham with honey-mustard on it. And well, who would't skip a work day to inflate his account with credits or teach the wife/kid/dog how to click Battle and shoot the tanks with red icons? (Dog might have an issue there)<br />
<br />
Shame about EU, US, and SEA servers...but thats life :)<br />
<br />
I dunno, folks, anything we are unique with that we can use to get something similar? Except the fact that we pay per player a lot more than RU server?<br />

You'll finally get to put your panzers versus t-34s, churchills against shermans etc.<br />
<br />
Basics are obvious - teams are formed out of tanks of one nation only. Japan and China can't play it - since they don't have all branches of tanks available.<br />
<br />
That leaves us with US, USSR, Germany, France and Britain. As with other special game modes in World of tanks it will likely be available after tier 4.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's see where does that leave us?<br />
<br />
Tier4-6 battle - Germans get Vk-s, panzers and the occasional hummel. Soviets - t34-85s, SU-100s and KV1S. French ? ARL44, BDR - amx 12t and some elcs for good measure. M6, various shermans and hellcats for US teams - churchills, cromies and crusaders for brits with some AT2/8s too. Needless to say from this set up - french teams will be used as a punch bag by everyone else. Soviet teams will rule supreme due to KV1s EVERYWHERE, and germans brits and yankees being average as usual.<br />
<br />
Things change in a tier 10 battle though - How about a team made of bat chats, foches and 50B? Not so fun anymore, is it? Not sure how is this supposed to balance out, or if it is supposed to balance out at all. After all - war is not fair. Test server comes soon so we will be able to check it out.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099374185398019361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032890474009639679.post-42166429173424448722014-01-18T08:12:00.002-08:002014-01-18T08:12:55.401-08:008.11 patch notes- Supertesters get three new vehicles for testing: T23E3 (US tier 7

- added new “Hero of the Battle” medals: “Main Caliber” (for doing
damage) and “Tanker-Sniper” (for doing damage at distance over 300
meters)<br />

Not new nations or trees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lets see what we can learn.<br />
T95E6 will have a crew of 4 - commander will be radioman too. <br />

<br />
The Grosstraktor - Loltraktor's big brother - armed with short 75mm. Not sure if it will be tier2 or tier 3. It will be great on 2, not so much on tier 3.<br />

T23E3 - yep thats the old T23 returning as a US prem tank on tier 7. It will be armed with a 76mm gun however. I doubt that will be an issue - Ersatz Panther is doing fine.<br />

Not a word on japanese heavy tanks...or TDs or LTs or anything... Hmmm<br />

Looks finished so we should expect this extra mini-branch soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can already notice a number of protection issues.<br />
<br />
Turret front lacks the large gun shield that saves patton so often. Yes - its better shaped, but until we know the actual thickness i'd say thats a problem for hull down.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4syk1CM4yps/Ur1Fp4SK0VI/AAAAAAAAAys/egy3wr9iXHo/s1600/world+of+tanks+t95e6+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="467" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4syk1CM4yps/Ur1Fp4SK0VI/AAAAAAAAAys/egy3wr9iXHo/s640/world+of+tanks+t95e6+front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The bigger problem for hull down is right on top - a huge tumor turret. I don't like the looks of that turret roof either...it might just end up like the FV4202.<br />
<br />
Hull has better angle than the Patton at least<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not sure about the gun depression too, but it looks like it will be ok. God knows - this tank will need it!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all - expect it to be part of a new line, probably starting at tier 8 - like the new russian meds.<br />
<br />
There is already an ingame icon for T95E2 which is a predecessor prototype with 90mm gun and patton turret. It will probably be the tier 9.<br />
<br />
So what I can dig about it. Front hull is at 65 degrees - 95mm armor, so don't expect miracles. About 550-600 horsepowers in the engines of the earlier versions - no idea how heavy it is though. Keep in mind - it might get a bigger one. I'd say - nimbler Patton with a more accurate weapon?<br />
<br />
I know Wargaming said - long break from implementing new tech trees after japanese, but a small branch looks doable.

<h5>
<strong>Chinese tanks:</strong></h5>
Type 2597 Chi-Ha:<br />
<ul>
<li>Elevation angle for the 45mm 20K gun changed from 21 to 20 degrees</li>
<li>Elevation angle for the 57mm Gun Type 97 changed from 21 to 20 degrees</li>
<li>Traverse speed for the Type 97 turret changed from 44 to 30.</li>
<li>Elevation angle for the 47mm Gun Type 1 changed from 21 to 20 degrees </li>
<li>Traverse speed for the Type 97-Kai turret changed from 46 to 30.</li>
</ul>
<em>Note: We managed to get updated information about the Chi-Ha tank
and other Japanese models, and decided to make the parameters for both
Chinese and Japanese versions similar.</em><br />
WZ-111 model 1-4:<br />
<ul>
<li>IS-3 turret armour values have been made similar to those on the IS-3 in the Soviet tech tree</li>
</ul>
<em>Note: Patch 0.8.9 was known to include altered armour values according to the revealed IS-3 schemes </em><em>(see </em><a href="http://yuripasholok.livejournal.com/2318436.html" title="Follow link"><em>http://yuripasholok.livejournal.com/2318436.html</em></a><em>). </em><em>So the 0.8.10 version will include relevant changes concerning the IS-3 turret for the Chinese WZ-111 model 1-4.</em><br />
<h5>
<strong>German Tanks:</strong></h5>
Löwe:<br />
<ul>
<li>Upper side hull armour was thickened by 20mm (from 80mm to 100mm)</li>
<li>Weight reduced by 2.5 tons.</li>
<li>Ammo rack for 10,5 cm Kw.K. L/70 gun increased from 40 to 80</li>
<li>Elevation angle for 10,5 cm Kw.K. L/70 gun changed from 17 degrees to 38 degrees</li>
<li>Depression angle for 10,5 cm Kw.K. L/70 gun changed from 6 degrees to 8 degrees</li>
</ul>
<em>Note: While researching the comments from our community regarding
the tank’s weight we discovered that it didn’t correlate with real
documentation. So the amendments include a weight decrease, hull armour
corrections, an ammo rack increase and elevation angles.</em><br />
Maus:<br />
<ul>
<li>Traverse speed for Maus turret changed from 14 to 16.</li>
</ul>
<em>Note: It is not a secret that all tanks in the game have a higher
traverse speed than they did in reality. Checking the updated
documentation we discovered that the Maus had a lower value for this
parameter compared to other tank models.</em><br />
<h5>
<strong>Soviet tanks:</strong></h5>
IS:<br />
<ul>
<li>Ammo rack for 122 mm D2-5Т gun was changed from 26 to 28</li>
</ul>
<em>Note: Ammo rack for the IS with the 122 mm gun was altered accordingly to historical data (28 shells).</em><br />
Object 140:<br />
After this tank was included in patch 0.8.8 we received some
complaints from our users related to the thin front armour of its turret
being too easy to penetrate. Previously there wasn’t enough data to
deal with this issue. After we received additional data, appropriate
changes were applied. Now the armour is tougher, even though the armour
values have remained the same.<br />
The main amendments concern frontal projection. The sloped front and
side parts of the turret now have values close to those for vertical
surfaces. This means that generally a shell hitting a sloped surface
will have to travel through the armour width similar to a vertical
surface.<br />
<br />
