Warbadger posted:Don't know what to tell you. Every game I've been in this morning has had a spread of 4-5 tiers. The game I'm currently in I'm top tier at tier 5, but there's a bunch of scorps and AMX-10's in it, too. What server are you on, eu or na? if you're playing on NA when there's only like 200 people playing that would explain the difference.

hopterque posted:I'm kind of confused reading those posts because I only very, very rarely get into a match with people more than 1 tier above me. Hell, a pretty high percentage of the time I get matches that are all the same tier. This is with t4 and t5 tanks. Which tiers have you been playing? 1-2 still have a proper matchmaker from what I can tell but everything else is getting tossed in with poopsocking 7's. The seal clubbing is ridiculous. The tier 3-5 tanks can't even pin some of the t7's from the side + they can kill you with 2-3 shots. e: are you all using ts or mumble?

I said right there I'm playing 4s and 5s. I might see a t7 once every five games or so in my t5s and basically never in my 4s.

NA last night had like 700 people playing so...yeah. Additionally, it's still bad game design if you need a thousand people in queue evenly distributed through tiers just to avoid a game breaking 2 tier difference between players in a match. All because you decided to arbitrarily pump stats according to a number next to a tank's name in the tech tree. The tradeoff? HOORAY THEY SEE BIGGER NUMBERSSSS Warbadger fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Jun 28, 2015 |

This morning is a lot better for T4-T5 just due to fewer T7's being online it seems. However, I'm seeing T3-T6 in most of the games. A 3 tier spread seems pretty normal in the current MM. And again, perfect 1-Tier-Difference-Only matchmaking should not be required to avoid creating lovely mismatches. What benefit is there to scaling HP and Damage numbers based on tiers in the first place? Warbadger fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jun 28, 2015 |

Just finnished playing NA, I think I got maybe 1 full game rest of them were like 13v12. The tier spread was not awful though usualy only 2 tiers difference. Also are people interested In mini write ups on some of the tanks currently avalible? Playability/firepower/if its a hunk of poo poo. That sorta crap.

So this thread: http://aw.my.com/en/forum/showthread.php?12765-How-To-Increase-FPS-Performance-in-Armored-Warfare actually helped me with my performance issues, by making me realize that the game was defaulting to integrated graphics and CPU physics. Made a couple of changes forcing it to use my actual nice graphics card and forced physics to GPU rendering, and my FPS shot up from 5-8 on average (game was wholly unplayable) to 40-ish.

So the new patch is out and new phase has started, pve seems ok but the xp/cash reward is like 50% of pvp. The armor changes and penetration nerfs have slowed the pace down a lot, since you can actually expect to bounce most shots off your frontal armor if you cover weak spots. It's pretty cool. Battles between main battle tanks actually take time and skill now instead of just "whoever can reload their gun the fastest", peaking and poking and angling armor and stuff. Pretty much every tank in the game has a really weak lower glacis so that's the thing to aim for and try and cover up. If you're fighting an equal tier MBT and he's hull down you can probably forget penetrating him from the front. hopterque fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jul 1, 2015 |

Agrajag posted:50% of pvp sucks imo. Agreed, I think they're planning on changing that number and this is just a starting point. e: Also there's a button for purchasing premium time now, but they haven't given us any gold yet. The russian server did get gold apparently a day or two after the patch dropped for them ( a few days ago I guess) and they've said they're probably gonna give us some on the western servers too.

Eh, I'm still waiting on what they plan to do with how unfun MBT's feel right now. If they change something about MBT's to make them fun, and not like playing a heavy in WoT, then I may start spending money on this game, but not till then. Right now it seems like Light Tanks and TD's are just plain more fun to play and perform better. While MBT's are stuck in an unflexible and absolutely unfun playstyle.

So are MBT's more like WoT's TD's in the way that they need others to cover/scout for them?

Sorta, but gun handling in general for MBT's are super piss poor and accuracy is really bad. I really don't understand why they would totally omit a key feature of modern tanks. I've also been hearing a lot about map sizes being the reason they made MBT's handle and play really poorly.

MBTs as of this patch are giant scary armored monsters, actually. Like, when groups of mbts fight it's a slugfest that can last a good few minutes because armor actually works now and it's really cool. Now when you lumber around a corner into an lav-300 or whatever he'll actually go "oh poo poo, gently caress" and try and disengage or bounce shots off your front or whatever instead of unloading right through your front and killing you in like 10 seconds. Also they greatly improved MBT handling this patch, so while they're still slower than lights and TDs they're no longer crawling slowly up to 20kph and slowing to 5 in the corners. Even in the big, fat chieftain and m60a3 you're able to actually shift to different positions without it taking like two minutes, and those are the two slowest non arty tanks in the game. The t-72 feels downright quick.

I'm thinking about dropping some cash for the $30 pack. its close to WOT but there are a few differences and they are changing things constantly, the first two tiers are plain awful to play as they struggle to do anything to tier 3 up. from what ive heard the latest patch has made MBT's scary strong going from might bounce a poorly aimed shell/unlucky to probs wont pen. honestly i would still hold off unless you want the content.

The first two tiers are awesome and can still gently caress up higher tier tanks with HE shells (especially the autocannon guys), though.

Yeah but on the flip side you've got the lav-150 and to a lesser degree the m113 which can still dump hundreds of damage right through the front of enemy tanks regardless of armor, even after like 2 nerfs to its ability to do that.

That's more because the BMP-1 is the worst tank in the game though. The t1-2s are perfectly capable of holding their own, especially since they can all function as scouts.

It's a good patch and MBTs are definitely in a better spot than before. They aren't amazing, but they're workable. The thing that still bothers me is that there is still a very large power gap between tiers, so you're still going to be at a ~50% HP/DPS disadvantage for every tier somebody has over you. Which wouldn't be so bad if every tier up didn't also come with a pile of other, less arbitrary advantages. I'd hold off for now but it has potential.

When you launch from the My Com launcher you will get two mycom.game executables and one ArmoredWarfare.exe. So in taskmon you should see at least the two mycom.game exes.

I'm honestly considering the Lord of War pack but I'd like to try before I buy. I play War Thunder yet WoT turned me off. If this is somewhat in the middle I think I'd like it. If someone tosses a code my way and I bite the bullet I'll definitely pay it forward.
