I assume you're liking the T14 then? I assumed it'd be fairly disappointing. The M4A2 is not doing so hot at the same BR and on paper at least looks similar. The MG weakspot and fairly flat 76mm turret face mean I've generally not had issues with them. Seeing as the KV-1 ZiS-3 is the same BR, does the T14 do much better at anything?

I seem to have bought two Thunderbolts, one being an airborne Stalin Jug, one being an Australian tank crewed by midget men. Needed a Russian premium plane regardless, but hoping the AC IV is actually decent too.

The WT dev server was apparently up yesterday, some interesting things I'm too lazy to link.

I actually own one, part of the reason I was curious in the first place. I've not really got any good pics of mine on hand, but it's in the low 4 digit SN range. They're well built little things, I could tell where the money went when I picked one up my first time.

I probably should have clarified, but I couldn't find the gun itself listed on their shop page. Google still pulls that page up for me too, but nothing on their site seems to still link to it otherwise. https://www.magnumresearch.com/Firearms/Firearms.asp I'll admit to not knowing too much of the business side of things, but while I can see how that'd hurt how many Kevins they're making, don't see how it would impact the MDE's numbers. My understanding was that once Magnum Research got ahold of the rights to make a gun like that, they no longer needed to worry about ZVI. Kahr did buy out Magnum Research in 2010, so it could also maybe be that Kahr killed the MDE off shortly after taking over. Between the price, issues with early ones, and the weird look to it, wouldn't be surprised if it just wasn't selling well enough.

Since I can't really find anything about this and a lot of you all here tend to be a bit more in the know than I am, would anyone here know if Magnum Research discontinued the Micro Desert Eagle? It first showed up in 2007 and was talked about for a few years, but seems to have disappeared by 2012. Magnum Research no longer lists the gun itself on their site, but beyond those two facts, I've got nothing else to really go off of.

"Sorry we lied, but now that this kerfluffle has passed and no one cares about it, we'll come clean so we can say we said sorry" I mean I guess good on them for being the ones to admit it instead of someone else doing it for them, but this at least sounds to me like something that could have been corrected a lot sooner.

Guess I'll have to see if the B1 ter ends up more like the Matilda II or Churchy I. Matilda II has a bad gun and not enough armor to back it up. Churchill I still has a bad gun, but its armor causes the bad guys at least struggle at killing you too. It's got a more usable hull layout than the Matilda II, but I can't remember if they ever uparmored the turret compared to the earlier models.

My Po-2 made a new friend today

I seem to have acquired something fun

I remember even WG giving you free exp back in the day like when they removed the 85mm from the T-28 and some other stuff like that.

I got burnt out on crossout and failed to stock up on stuff, only managed to get one spare duster back in the day.

Literally Watergate 2.0

More commie 4.3 tanks AB shenanigans, this time decided I should get the dust off my SU-85. 12 kill streak, did no disappoint. Only died once all the pubbies with me died and I eventually got pincered.

My favorite part is how this string of tweets starts out with him more or less saying "I'm not blaming Russia for this, but..." It's like that Aliens meme with the history channel guy, but now it's Russians.

Most of what I did in that battle was in the KV-1, I honestly played a little sloppy in the SU-85 and let myself die to a T-28 that I should have had no issue with. I'm fine with turretless things usually, I just like them having some usable mix of small size, speed, and armor. It limits the routes you can effectively take to the ones with only one direction to worry about enemies at, but I still can be about as aggressive in them as I am in a Sherman or T-34. KV-1 just gives no fucks and goes where it wants, when it wants. Also, the fact that my KV-1 had a talisman may be the reason why my RP gains where better in that match.

So I got an 18 kill battle, had premium and a 15% RP booster running. The results are better than the crap I got handed in the flatpanzer battle at least. I only carried the team just a little, clutch win with only 250 tickets left before we lost.

I should try joining in on some of those T-35 stomping fest. I didn't grab a screencap of it, but I got the longest range kill I've gotten in recent memory, killed a dicker max from 2km away in RB with my T-34 57.

The largest body of water in my area is probably someone's bird bath and that smells like obvious BS even to me. I guess if you're stupid enough to try to pull something like this, then chances are you're going to be too stupid to keep your story consistent and believable.

What is this, gears of war? I want a chainsaw bayonet too, sounds like a load of fun and incredibly impractical. That video could hardly be more blatant though, spends more time talking about what scary things could have gone on it than the trinkets that were on it.

It's premium, had a 10% RP booster going too I think. Gaijin doesn't like rewarding you much for being efficient and killing stuff in a single shot and a lot of my kills were from taking someone down in a single well-placed shot.

Flatpanzer OP. I guess I got too many medals for it to show them on the side or something.

I realize antifa isn't very organized, but you can't deny that the black-clad trashcan-kickers and their friends still have some level of organization. It was actually a reason I listed for stuff not happening in my last post, that the more national sorts of groups trying to start it failed to reach out to the local groups for where they wanted stuff to happen. I don't know where you live, but I know that plenty of cities do have their own "chapters" of antifa. The signs and ads and all the stuff wasn't that cheap either. I know that you can print that stuff out easily enough, but one of the ads alone I'm seeing quoted as $150k. That's a pretty high price tag for merely trolling, which is why I say that the stuff on the fourth was a result of some of the more powerful people in commieworld trying to cause something, but not being able to actually get anyone to show up. I don't expect people in the far-left to take it seriously when it's only a few people buying stuff that actually want it to happen. Them saying it would happen is the only reason it would have happened in the first place, they had nothing to react to. Just a joke guys! We were only pretending!

Not to mention that this is trapped in there too

I'm sure there was a degree of that as well, but I would have been surprised if they could have pulled those protests off in the first place. You at least had someone throwing money it at, they had plenty of pre-made signs to march with and had taken a few rather sizable newspaper ads. Regardless, I figured it'd be more likely for nothing to happen, but that's just a lot less exciting. I've heard some people say that there was a failure to communicate between the people running it like ResistFascism and the local antifa and commie groups, that'd also help explain the poor turnout. The majority of these people probably just couldn't be bothered to show up since they didn't have any motivation in the first place. Most of the riots that I'm aware of that these people have pulled in the past were in response to something, be it Trump taking office, scary people talking on campus, or other stuff like that. With this, I think all they had to motivate themselves was I guess November 4th is a special date for commies? Historical fun facts don't motivate people like being hysterical about Ronald Gumpf taking office does, there was no "threat" for them to get out and #RESIST.
