it just depends on what tank you play sometimes depending on the tank its better to have them on for more open map chances

I think when you "unlock" it you have to login to the game between some date range and then it gets delivered to you. If you unlock it and don't login I think you just get gold or credits or something.

I survived the first hit of the two encounters and my sixth sense didn't go off then. The 2nd time I got nuked by a Jgpze100 so I don't know if the sixth sense would have gone off, but I am 99% sure i wasn't spotted by anything. It was just two instances of being killed and going 'how in the????' I mean I'm sure I could have been really unlucky and a Jgpzr player decided to waste one of his shots in a purely speculative location that a TD would not normally be in.


My question was there anything that would give away my position if I hadn't been spotted, or indeed even fired. The first instance I was shot in the middle of an open field, before I'd even fired. I know theres stuff that tracks trees and scenery that you've run over, but I hadn't hit anything to do that either.

As Badllama alludes to...

BadLlama posted:

Were there spotted tanks directly behind you in these scenarios?

...the concealment mechanic in this game is such that if any vehicle fires, all the foliage in a 15 m circle around that vehicle becomes transparent. Even if you were concealed, a teammate could've fired and at least revealed himself, causing the enemy to send shots in your direction. That's not to say that's exactly what happened in your case, but we'd need to see replays to figure this out. Everything else is just speculative.

Hopefully whatever was keeping clan invites from working got fixed. Can Gafencu get another invite to PANSY?

Also, tell me about the Japanese Heavy line. The O-I is a giant, pain in the rear end brick to pen with a bucket of HP and a brutal gun. (From what I can tell from personal experience and getting whapped by it.) I know the Types 4/5 are also super fat. These things appeal to me (Maus was the first line I completed,) but is the line generally fun to play?

Another invite sent to Gafencu, you can find me in-game today or tomorrow if you need more assistance.

I challenge goons to post a more pathetic effort. I seem to be attracting crap teams lately. That is just an egregious example of my typical games. It has almost certainly shaved a percent off my win rate. That makes me a little sceptical about the worth of win rate etc. in measuring a players skills. You get saddled with too much of this poo poo in a row and it is going to pound your stats into the dirt. Unlucky I guess. :shrug:

Also the Ikv 103 is possibly the uttermost craptacular tank I have encountered yet in this game. All of it's so called advantages are easily negated by it's many flaws. Only firing heat means that if you are lucky enough to actually hit something there is a high probability that you will do no damage what-so-ever. It makes the Type 91 and 93 on the Japanese heavy line look like mighty beasts of war.

To be fair, your team had both a rare AMX 40 and an extra-rare AMX 38. Those, and the SU-26 and Type 91 are essentially dead weight. Even the Pz1C struggles against tier 5s. That's not to say the players weren't bad, but there are just some glaring problems with those vehicles.

Also, yeah, the low-tier Ikvs are pretty crappy. HEAT-only is pretty bad but quite a few of those vehicles have cringe-worthy slow projectiles.

even back when it was at its best i actually found its front plate to be a little disappointing. obviously the rest of the tank made up for that in spades, but sometimes it felt like it was driving around with a big hole in the front (it did! the mailbox slit had literally zero armor)

and since then we've had a shitload of pen creep

Even in the glory days it still had that weakpoint, but anyone slightly competent in it could wiggle the tank a little and make it hard to hit. Or you'd just drive it into someone's face and they might not have the gun depression to nail it. Meanwhile it was able to drive a 130mm shell into someone every 10 seconds or so.

the hatch was just some cute trivia. the thing is that the front was simply 140 mm, and, well, sometimes people high-roll. AP had i think 8° normalization back then too.

I get tired of this. I wish people would just afk if they're going to gripe about it. Of course normally the ones that bitch about it are the first ones to die

Let's play a match on Serene Coast. All but me, a Cromwell, and a TD go east. They run into two heavies where they all, arty included, bog down fighting these two heavies while the whole rest of the other team heads west to the spot I'm at.
"loving morons on the hill, you guys suck"
"uninstall"
"lost game because of noobs on hill"
Yeah, whatever, 4 heavies and a mix of 8 arties, tds and mediums got held up and slaughtered by two heavies while 2 mediums and a td smashed a couple heavies and damaged a medium on the hill. I had to quit the game, that match hurt
