Perhaps, but  too much falls into place for it to be utter nonsense.  I've worked places where what was described, occurred.

Yep. This is a load of semi-public information veiled as insider information.

That said, we will not reveal this persons name or sex or location or exact employment dates. This person will be referred to simply as X to preserve their anonymity. We have also edited the speech of X to prevent recognition.

This can also be read as: "We made shit up.".

I mean, he’s an asshole like you wouldn’t believe, but it’s not all his fault. [...] He was always an asshole but he became damn near impossible to be in the same room with.

Apparently X is really scared about getting identified, but doesn't care about everyone knowing that Victor is an asshole? I think he's one of the few people that's actually claiming that.

Or, you know, it's made up. Like a lot of shit on that website.

 

The 'best' part is that apparently he somehow tried to plant child porn on the PC of a WoT player he had an axe to grind with. It's the same dude he tries to doxx on his website. Not only did he fail at planting child porn, he apparently got caught trying to do so and has been reported to the FBI. And that doxx isn't a doxx per se because it's not actually that WoT player's information.

Again, the misbehavior in the workplace is similar enough to places I've worked, to give it a skosh of consideration.

 

The person not wanting to be identified may have a number of reasons; as to it being whole cloth, I doubt it.

That's a whole lot of creative writing if it were, and I doubt anyone it that batshit over WoT/WG.

EU just got the patch, and so far I'm liking it. The stun will take some getting used to though, and I already know that being focussed by arty is super annoying right now.

 

The new matchmaking is amazing though, much more balanced. Played 50+ games yesterday, and not a single one was unbalanced tiers/tank types wise.

The matchmaking is pretty damn good. I'm digging not having to deal with Tier 10 except on rare occasions. And the impact of dealing with too many failtards who've failed their way up to higher tiers is less as well.

 

Unfortunately, I play the NA West server and population numbers is total shit, so far too many games still come down to how many tomatoes/shitters/South Americans MM has cursed you with by the coin flip and how many manage to get themselves killed in the first two minutes of the match.

 

And as someone who occasionally dabbles in arty, it feels good actually being able to have an impact in the game. Plus being given XP assist for your teammates damaging stunned tanks is a nice bonus. And it improves the teamwork aspect as well since the stunned tank has the little timer icon above it which gives and incentive for your teammates to get a "free" shot or two into the victim.

 

Still doesn't make up for taking a runny, steaming crap on the chest of light tank players.

Yeah, Battle Tier 12 is back, so tier 8 and 9 wont get dumped into tier 10 games as much. And tier 10s finally get full 15v15 tier 10 games again. Although the MM is slightly bugged because tier 10s sometimes get 13v13 or 14v14.

 

Thankfully EU doesn't have those population problems, it's been a loooooooooooooong time since I've seen 7v7 stuff in randoms. But we too have shitters, but we have so many of them it evens out on both teams. But I do have to say, the game played like the test server yesterday. So much stupid stuff going on. It was like everyone just wanted to play as many battles as possible on patch day.

An interesting thing as well was that the early games were filled to the brim with lights and arty, but later on the day there was barely any arty to be seen and only a few lights in games. And for some reason there were almost no TDs either.

 

I'm a little torn on the lights. I hear that the tier 9s are actually pretty okay. People are quite happy with the changes to the 13 90, the 13 75 is apparently quite good now as well. But then the tier 10 lights are just... why would I want to get one?

I'm still selling all my lights and arty though. I kept arty for missions and platoons, but since I have all the missions done and arty can't platoon anymore it's time to sell them.

They changed the parameters for arty so the missions are geared more to stun assist damage, from what I see, with less of the asinine do X damage to Y class of tanks or whatever.

 

On the NA West, it seemed like folks really played the shit out of Lights and Arty for the whole weekend as I recall. And now that it's been a couple weeks, the 5 classes are pretty evenly spread out with TDs being slightly higher represented in higher tier matches from my observations.

 

My Tier 8s and Tier 9s get put into a MM dump, usually of 13 vs 13 during very low population times (2,000-3,000) and I've seen a few 7 vs 7s. But that's more of an issue that WoT needs to just throw in the towel and combine NA West and East again.

 

As an observation, I haven't really had any epic matches since the patch in any of my tiers and haven't had a Mastery class (other than in my arty where I got a bunch of "M" badges on those first couple days) since the patch. I'll admit, I'm just a 52.75 WR "Green" WN8 player so maybe I've just hit a dry spell.

It varies considerably given the day and population. I haven't played NA East since I platooned with Jeeps and Sturgeon - what? - a year ago?

 

It was noticeable but not insurmountable. But I play on a laptop so one takes his chances.

I've noticed that WoT is totally playable with a high ping, as long as it's steady. I have a friend who lives in the Maldives and plays with 250 ping, he still does well (52% WR). But I guess that a fluctuating ping and FPS will make things a lot more difficult.

Object 252s aside, the ISU-130 is a whole lot nicer to play now that you're not in battles full of tier 10 superheavies

Meh, supposed to be rain hard all this weekend.

 

In lieu of fishing, might try WoT. 

 

maybe.

 

 

Will be sub tier VI.. Since beyond that is land of fucktardedness and faggotry...

 

Play low tier with basic crews, and have fun.

 

Like the game used to be.

I was actually thinking of asking WG to change it to a T-44-122.

 

I have a few hundred battles in the ISU-130, but TDs aren't really my thing.

I'd also much rather have that since TDs are also not my thing, unlike mediums.  For being a fast tier 7 with a 122mm, it's actually not much worse than the T-34-2.  This and the AMX 13 57 are the two tanks in WoT that I do genuinely want to try, but one costs money that I refuse to spend and the other won't happen because rip WG contacts.

Yeah, anything with T-34 in its name is going to be a pretty strong tank (less so with the 57mm variant).  I'd argue that they're the kings of BR 3.7/4.0 and can also probably build the best 5.3 lineup as well.  

 

Also realized a bit ago that gaijin was doing one of those cancerous grind missions, the tanks rewards being the Soviet Matilda II w/ F-96 76mm and the Excelsior.  Going to go for the matilda and am mostly there, seems like a rather solid tank for BR 3.3.  Unlike WoT, it's only got 2° of depression, so that may be tricky.  Its armor plus the better 76mm gun on it means it's a pretty strong counter against the KV-1 l/11 if you do AB.  KV-1 can hardly dent you, your gun can pen him easy if you don't land a wonky hit.

 

Planes were the PV-2D Harpoon and a Yak-3t.

I think the real Matilda F-96 had something like zero degrees of depression. That tiny turret wasn't really suitable for a big gun.

 

Given that all the attempts to stuff big guns into small turrets were such obvious failures, I'm a little surprised that various design firms kept trying them.

We all know the makers of WoT would offer tanks that engage in underage ANIMEA incest/Cuck porn if they could. And 98 percent of the T110 threadites would spend all of their allowance to buy them.

 

I'm surprised there wasn't a full on ANIMEA push after the female tank crews were introduced.
