Bronezhilet Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 FYI, the non-existing overmatch mechanics is a bug aacording to the chieftain, it will be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Is it good? A little sluggish, but it can hit its 40khm speed limit sometimes. 8.5 second reload with BIA, vents, and rammer. 10 degrees of gun depression, 370 view range. It certainly can do work. 20 some odd battles with it and I have an armor use efficiency of something like 1.5 And it racks in the cash. made about a million credits with it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Speaking of which, is the T34 still kind of bad, or is it good now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It is still poo. I guess it can hull down better than any other tier 8 still, and it still a relevant threat to tier 10s, but that doesn't change the terrible gun handling, the piss poor accuracy, the slow speed, and complete lack of DPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperComrade Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 It's a slightly better Lowe with a more frustrating gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Got the French wonderbaguette. It's kind of refreshing having a tank that's so straightforward. Front towards enemy, shoot 'em till dead. No bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Don't be afraid to ram people with it. It can hit 40kph downhill and weighs 70 tons. I ram killed an IS-6 from ~250hp and only took 73 damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Holy shit. A full year's premium on WoT for essentially half price at $45? I... I had to pull the trigger on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 yeah, I couldn't resist either. In theory, you can also buy that same package on WoWS and get two years of premium at half price. Good old unified account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanagandr Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I couldn't actually buy premium time right now, but of course they don't offer discounted premium time in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Apparently WG has scrapped the new overmatch mechanics. "Based on your input from the 1st Common Test, we decided to cancel this feature. Initially, we planned to revise the ricochet and overmatch mechanics for all vehicles. However, tests showed that it will cause increased ricochets on thinly armored tanks (the IS-3, IS-4, etc.) that used to be generally bad at angling. This disrupted gameplay overall (a lot more ricochets where chances of them used to be zero), which you reported to us during the Common Test. We analyzed your feedback and decided to stick to the old, time-proven mechanic for all vehicles including the tier VIII–X Swedish tank destroyers." So, turns out that changing the armour mechanics for every tank just to help out 3 new ones had game breaking unintended consequences. Who knew?

Bronezhilet Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 ...they already fixed it a few days ago on the test...... Well rip Swedish TDs then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meplat Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I keep wishing they'd sell a standalone offline version, so a modding community would spring up and fix all the bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 There is so much butthurt about the changes to the Strv 103. First, people complain that it's being introduced as a TD instead of a medium tank, then they complained about the overmatch mechanic change being scrapped, so it will only have enough armor to auto bounce sub-120mm guns. Now they are complaining about its ludicrous DPM and laser accuracy being brought down to more reasonable levels. So many tears, so much salt. At no point does anyone say things like "It's too bad that high camo casemate TDs are severely gimped by the maps." Or, "This would be a really good tank if it were not for the corner brawl meta."

Sturgeon Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 QB probably should have done this a long time ago, but I'm glad to see it now, anyway: And yes, I know he's not one of the WoTLabs anointed, but who cares? He's better than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulric Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 They are testing buffs to the Super P and 112 on 9.17 test server. Super P pen buffed from 170 to 192, 112 getting minor armor buffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the old overmatch mechanic is that the Strv 103B is overmatchable to 122mm guns autoaiming the front. There's a 40 mm armour strip sticking out in front of the HEAT shield.

There's a 40 mm armour strip sticking out in front of the HEAT shield. If it becomes a serious issue, they can buff it to 41mm, and 122mm guns won't overmatch. They could even buff it to 45mm to keep the 130mm guns from overmatching. People will bitch about ahistorical armor, but that can be said about damn near every tank on the game. Also, 330pen HVAP please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 So, this showed up in supertest; https://thedailybounce.net/2016/11/29/german-tiger-ii-p-premium-heavy-tank-pictures-armour-stats/ (tier 7 Tiger II) Means 1 of 3 things; Historical battles are coming back Wargaming wants wehraboo dollars The German heavy line is going to get completely reworked with the Tiger at tier 6, Tiger II at tier 7, E75 at 8, some other shit at 9, and E100 at 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Downtiering the German heavies makes some degree of sense, because the higher tiered ones are lolbuffed to remain competitive. Though honestly, it probably would create more problems than it solved, one of the biggest ones being the huge black cloud of unwarranted Wehraboo smug that would blot out the Sun and cause an artificial winter.
