Ulric Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 7 hours ago, Meplat said: WT has it's own issues, (mostly with physics not based in reality and "Sekret Dokumentz"), but yes, at least one can say "fuck this noise" and just fly. Even when you get bottom tier, you don't get tier fucked like you do in WoT. You also have the flexibility to select which tank you want to use. A good example is the 3.7 soviet line up, where the SMK and KV-1 L11 are amazing if they are top, and dog shit in any other situation, but you can offset that with T-34-76s and the 29K, which are solid all around choices, even if you get bottom tier. Not having to chew through 3x your own tanks HP with half the DPM of your opponent really levels the playing field and makes player skill significantly more important.

Did the patch change the game mechanics, all the tanks feel slower to me? Or is this because I've been playing a racing game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 you've been playing race games, I haven't noticed any mobility change. If you want to play race games, though, you could go down the Italian tree, they have some armored cars made by Ferrari! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I bet a game where you raced Kettenkrads would be fun as shit. Those things look like they would be really janky and unstable while turning at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of greater interest, FINALLY video proof that a Tier 8 tank has been top tier in a WoT match, and not jammed with Tier 10s like what happens 9 out of 10 games.

For new players, you typically get sorted into games with 2-3 players per team and the rest bots. These are pretty easy to play, and it's easy to feel good about your performance (especially if you play aggressively). Once you hit some magic number (possibly number of battles, or tier), you get normal matches with players filling all the slots. This is a fundamentally different game, as players are a lot better than the bots - suddenly the aggressive gameplay that works well against bots just gets you killed quickly. I'm still re-calibrating to adjust for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApplesauceBandit Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 So I just unlocked the T30. Thanks to overmatch and its Russian levels of slope modifiers on the M112B1 ABPC shell, it can kill a T-64A through the front hull from at least 500m (same with the T-55AM-1 and IS-6). Haven't really had much of a chance yet to play it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobotMinisterofTrueKorea Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I finally unlocked top tier Soviet tanks. The T-72A is an absolute blast. I am happy it will bring me to the hallowed T-80U (albeit by the way of some Kharkovite tanks, and the T-80B) LoooSeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meplat Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 The T-2 confuses me. I suspect they will change that to "F-1", as the T-2 was never really fielded as a full on combat aircraft, it was best thought of as an advanced trainer that could (and did) carry armament. The Japanese were still using the T-2 and F-1 when I was in Misawa. Japanese Sabres were often in beautiful color schemes. Somewhat looking forward to them, even if the potential MM will suck terribly (And the chances of them mounting AIM9's as they did in service being slim to none).

The bluish scheme is "Blue Impulse", the JASDF version of the Thunderbirds, and the colors seem a bit off. (May look better on my "good" monitor). The Sabre "Bumblebee" is wearing the very early "Blue Impulse" aerobatic team colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_James Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I hadn’t realized the Russian were a whole year ahead of the US in proximity fused AA technology, considering the Moskva (1941 leader) has ZS-46R (as well as Tashkent 1942 and Kirov 1941)...

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 So I just noticed on the American Desert Town map, there is a train. At some point, the train decides to leave, and you can shoot it, and if you shoot the Engine, it has a damage model like the tanks do, so it shows your round doing damage to the train inards! I thought that was cool. included for giggles, this is me killing a Nashorn right in front of the Tiger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I gave up after three matches - the lasers were maddening in that I was aiming at things and the beam was visually connecting, but no damage. The submerged action was actually a lot better, while the tank section was awfulness incarnate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
