Mans posted:So wait, you have to choose a single tank to join historical battles and then guess whenever it is needed in queue? Why didn't Wargaming just do the Team Battle mechanic where you choose a bunch of tanks that are allowed into HB and wait it out? Hmm, this makes sense. However, one problem I could see with that is that with the team battle system probably eventually it will settle down to *THE* optimal team set up (like 5 tier 8s and 2 tier 1s for team battle) with not much room for flexibility.

Keksen posted:Had my first crash just now, no Hellcats involved. Won't let me back in the game either. This is greatly annoying because I was playing my FV304 and my first 3 shots popped 3 targets within the first minute of the game. Why couldn't it ruin a bad match instead. I've had it on a T49 and a Hellcat so far. EDIT: The hellcat crash was while platooned with 2 other hellcats. One of them crashed out the exact same time I did. The other guy stayed in. And an easy 8 appeared to crash out the same time too. I think it's a server-side issue that's corrupting battle sessions or something.

It won't let you back in until the match you were in is over. I've tried renaming both the 0.9.0 folder as well as 'underscoring' the xvm folders. It's a code fuckup, not mod-based, but I'm sure they'll blame it on mods. It's a real shame, too - because the KT is a loving *monster* when you know how to drive it.

I've not had a single crash so far, however I am running the old renderer because my PC is poo poo. Guess I should count myself lucky. Can anyone confirm what load out the T34-85 takes into historical battles? I'm highly doubtful they'll let it in with the top 85, I'm guessing it'll be the ZiS-S-53. Also if historical battles were to be correct the Tiger 2 would either bog or break down while everyone drove around it.

CW should be suspended until they nail down/fix the problem. Also, for all those curious - the SU-85I does not get preferential matchmaking. It can see T7s, and it gets the SU-85b's lower-tiered 85mm.

The first time it happened to me I was taking fire. The second time, nothing was shooting at me - it just CTDed. If I had to guess, I'd say since they're asking for dxdiag info on the EU thread for it, that it's graphics-related. I've got everything maxed and I'm still getting 30-50fps, but I might try dialing some things down like water texture and the like to reduce the strain on my GPU.

I've noticed a correlation with these crashes. It seems like, if I hit the Ctrl button for any reason (like while playing arty) it's a guaranteed CTD.

I haven't really played this much since the beta, where I was up to tier 5 or 6 tanks before the reset however long ago that was. Everything looks strange and new and I barely remember any of the numbers, but I really enjoyed hella fast tanks that are barely possible to hit. What is a good one of those that's fairly early in one of the tech trees?

The reasons why those tiny tanks were really difficult to hit were fixed before the beta was over. In any case, a Panzer 1-C is what you want.

So we were just in a match on Northwest. Teams are even, 5v5. Our platoon (JP, Sturer, T-34-1) is fighting in the south-west area, along the ramp up to that base. First, imabigbaby crashes. Then, I drive in to save him and I crash. Then Werd does the same thing. We try to rejoin but it crashes before the map can load. We had that round won if not for Wargaming's incompetence. loving infuriating.AlmightyPants posted:Any idea how to get the view range circles superimposed on the minimap again? I fiddled with my XVM config and I'm not getting any results. All of the mods, including XVM, are not ready for prime-time. Just give them a couple days. Overwined posted:As a sidenote I have come to the conclusion that DPM meta is mostly garbage. There are a few tanks that put rounds downrange in a really fast manner and that's important for those tanks. Above a certain threshold I believe reload times become more or less irrelevant. The conceit is that if you engage a target and you both shoot at each other at roughly the same time, the the faster reload tank can get a second shot off before retreating to cover. There is one massive problem with that: you do not engage in a vacuum. How sure are you that the tank you engaged doesn't have friends? 9 times out of 10 when I hang around to put that second round into him, I get shot at by someone else--sometimes with disastrous consequences. Not to mention a 1 or 2 second advantage is oftentimes not enough for you to get your shot in and then get behind cover. So what you've essentially done is trade 2 shots for 2 shots, something that I think is quite dumb especially considering the slower reload tanks usually have higher alpha. And finally, outside of the really fast firing tanks (and even then) think about the times you have sat with the reticle on a tank just holding down the LMB. Chances are it's when you're not even being shot at by said tank, so you're not even in a DPM race at this point. Yeah, I agree with the DPM bullshit. It always amuses me when people will compare two guns/tanks and go "this one has 2200 DPM but that one has 2350 DPM, it's better!" The DPM advantages might be "real" but not "realistic." Are you sitting in one spot, firing as fast as you can reload for 60 seconds straight? If not, then you're not doing 2350 DPM. So many other things are more important, such as pen, accuracy, and even things like mobility and gun depression. The 88/56 vs. 75/70 debate is a good example: the former has more DPM but worse everything else. The 88 can work up to tier 6 (particularly on the old 3001H) and on the toaster, but beyond that the 75 has better pen, accuracy, aimtime, etc. rossmum posted:When people talk about "DPM", what they really mean almost all the time is "raw DPM", which is literally just alpha times rate of fire. The only situation this number means a god drat thing is when you are holding your left mouse, hitting every shot, and penning every shot. Even in a T-54 this doesn't happen a whole lot and so it's a bunch of irrelevant horseshit people obsess over because they're too dense to actually use their initiative and look at how the game really works (much like Garbad and his blind acceptance of that depression figure for the 430 when he should know better). The only kind of DPM that matters is effective DPM, which is how much damage per minute you can actually do in any given situation. A T-54 that can't depress its gun to hit someone has 0 effective DPM. A Cent 7 that's only penning two shots of every three has 1,614 effective DPM rather than 2,422 (actually a little lower, I didn't account for aim time). That's less than the L7A1's raw DPM, and since it has the Jesus Pen, it's far more likely to be penning every shot. Even if you shoot pure gold out of the 20pdr you're still losing out on crit chance because of the smaller calibre and lower pen, and you're still going to need to hope you can hit and pen every shot and that your target has no support. ...and Ross nails it far more eloquently than I did. Thank you. Overwined posted:And how does the KV-1s need a nerf (it does) but not the KV-2? The KV-1S has a more "reliable" gun with better mobility and armor. Slim Jim Pickens posted:You can shoot him in the sides of the turret. Or really, any side armour. He said "face-to-face" which implies the front, not the sides. Cardiac posted:I ended up going with the Tiger and also got the AMX 13 75. Next will be the Chi-To, since I just finished off and sold the A-43, and having another tier6 for platoons is nice. I have to add, the Chi-To was a fine tank. I enjoyed playing it, and sold it when the grind was over, but on occasion I still think about re-buying it. It has a good gun & great depression with good maneuverability, and typical medium tank armor. It ends up being effective albeit overshadowed by other tier 6s. Execu-speak posted:Hey guys, what do you consider the best gun for the A43? A dogpile of pubbies was just trying to tell me its the 76 S-54. I dunno the 57 seem a much better option to me (especially with the gold performance). Easily the 76. The 57 isn't bad, but the 76 is just better and is specifically buffed for that tank.

If you really want to bring the 57mm up against tanks of such tiering that you can't realistically whittle them down before getting owned, just drive an MT-25 instead.

Had a historical Bulge match that was going fairly well for US, we'd taken out the KT because he made the mistake of turning his turret sideways to a trio of Hellcats. Turns out the 76mmm with cola sprays rounds nice and fast. The two Panthers, two Jagdpanthers, and one Panzer IV were all near dead...then I CTDed. :welp:

Man, something about this patch just makes me not want to play anymore. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just can't muster up the energy to click play anymore, even though the game is theoretically better with all the graphical overhaul and the new game modes and such. I'm sorry, World of Tanks. It was a sweet month or something, but I'm gonna go take my horrible opinions someplace else. It's not you, it's... it's me. I think.

The CTD has now happened simultaneously three times to a platoon partner and I in hellcats. He's running nvidia, I've got ATI. Weird thing is the third guy (running the same mods) isn't crashing out. He's running on a bland PC with a slower internet connection. hosed if I know what's going on, but they should have fixed it before release.

The 76 is a valid choice but I give the nod to the 57. The 76 got buffed for the A-43 but it still has much worse handling and worse accuracy. It's got 13 more silver pen but a lot less gold pen, and when fighting t8s the 57mm APCR is just better. When fighting other mediums the 57 will let you trade two for one more often, when it comes to it. There really isn't a large alpha difference between them, not enough for me to give up the 57's handling.
