Wot funnies 16

Patch notes for 9.1:
"Poor grammar" will be added as option to the automated Complains reporting system.

The turret of the M3 Lee comes into play only when you ammo-rack it.

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.
- Pervert! - says the arty
- Nah, forgot to buy ammo! - says the med. tank

From one disaster to another - Nation vs Nation and historical battle mode

It seems Wargaming just can't get it right.
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.

Aaand now Historical mode. On paper - Hell, its about time.
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.

I will be trying to get into it again soon, right now I'm busy with War Thunder Ground forces. Its good comparison honestly....

War thunder tanks

Sooo 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.

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.

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.

Paper model Tetrarch

Long time no see. Had personal problems.

Anyway - next paper model - the prem lend lease Tetrarch.

Have fun making it!

https://worldoftanks.ru/dcont/fb/document/022_mk_vii_tetrarch_v10.pdf

New paper model - Hetzer!

Download it while its hot!

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.

Paper model IS 7

*link*Grab it while its hot! *link*

Now there are enough paper tier 10 tanks to make a diorama or two.

Less time to play - less time to update

Anyway - patch 8.11 is out and it brings a ton of issues, rather than a ton of content. Wargaming keeps giving us bait for 9.0 - Panzer IV buffed with skirts, a tier 4 stug...you know - stuff we know and like.


Personally i'd say the lag on EU servers should be priority numero uno buuuut who am I to argue with big WG?

Once I can find the time I will update more regularly.

Supertest leak for 9.0 - Panzer IV ausf D

 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.

Anyway - armor is weak as you can guess.

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.

Supertest leak - panzer IV Ausf A

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!

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

8.11 supertest vehicle stats

Here are the armor schematics and soft stats for the new prem tanks in supertester hands.



First the grobtraktor - tier 3 german heavy. Alas - it will be tier 3

Yep - food for MG tanks and well, anyone who can fire HE shells.

 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.


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.

 Power to weight ratio could be better, so I'd suggest taking relevant modules/skills to improve mobility.

Finally - the T95E6

 Nothing too impressive armour wise - only the turret front can be expected to bounce shots.

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.

Overall its not bad, but its not outstanding either. Acceptable as CW reward.

Paper model ELC AMX

The first model tank for 2014 is the french ELC AMX.
And here's the link for it!
https://worldoftanks.ru/dcont/fb/media/models/018_elc_amx_v01.pdf


Have fun modeling!

The new medals in 8.11

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.
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.

 Main caliber - be the damage dealer, at least 20% of total enemy health, at least 1000 damage. Random battles only.

 Last survivor on map - no SPGs allowed. Well, this one is pretty straight forward.

 Win streak medal for 3+ victories in random teams

 Marksmanship - 100 times first by damage in battle

 Armored fist - that one's for the steam rolling - Win while losing no more than 1 vehicle.

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


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....)

Reason why RU servers got the siege of Leningrad event

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.


Anyway - reason for that is...marketing.

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)

 Shame about EU, US, and SEA servers...but thats life :)

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?


Anyone?

Nation versus Nation battle mode

So...nation versus nation huh? You'll finally get to put your panzers versus t-34s, churchills against shermans etc.

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.

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.


Let's see where does that leave us?

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.

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.

Wot funnies 14

When I proposed to my girlfriend in french she was delighted and said it was the most romantic thing she's ever heard. I hope she never starts learning french, because I actually said "Main gun damaged" and "Optics destroyed"

Only place you'd see snow this year in EU? Severogorsk.

 Before getting E-25 I asked my clan mates for opinion.
This one convinced me "Even your own team hates you."

 Question - How many premium tanks do you need to be happy?
Answer - One more.

Gold shells are like bribes. You are totally against it until its your turn at the trout.

Bunch of supertest leaks

It seems 2014 will be the Year of premium tanks. Not new nations or trees.


Lets see what we can learn.
T95E6 will have a crew of 4 - commander will be radioman too.

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.

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.

Not a word on japanese heavy tanks...or TDs or LTs or anything... Hmmm
