It only took me two years to get to this point. :smith:

^^^ What's the magic pen number for shooting E4s in the turret? I've not that that much luck shooting them there.

Around 150-200. :magical:
just google it. http://wotguru.com/weak-spot-guide-t110e4/

Your problem is not knowing where to shoot.

I may eventually come back for a few games here and there because of this. Eventually.

Also, I have to agree with Camador - if you just give up because of a match going to poo poo you are giving up the match yourself. I really am going to have to re-learn with cam or hellsau or something so I can not start as a tomato.

The game is 1000% less frustrating if you turn off win percentage/wn8 and turn off chat when you're not trolling. Playing tanks as a single player game with an interesting but really goofy AI solves a whole lot of frustration problems.

gently caress no. :getout:.

This is called being wildly retarded/gassing yourself with xyklon b, not a guideline to having fun. I'm not referring to chat being off, specifically about not using xvm.

Also, AI is a hell of a lot smarter than the average pubbie just based on consistency. Even a bot at 41% isn't necessarily going to shoot it's teammates.

Snapshot works on things with no turrets? Isn't it for 'during turret rotation' but yeah that's WG.

Snapshot is basically a vstab, so yes it works without a turret. The reduction from when moving a turret (as opposed to the gun) isn't exactly that important overall because you shouldn't be snap shotting while turning the turret in most instances.

So in summary: snap shot skill, which isn't designed for what it is described as.

FV304 and SU-85 are the best non-premium tanks for making money. They have the highest net income per game as shown here.

This is a general statistic, which also basically defines which tanks people can do the best in/easiest.

Other people may have a very, very different set of tanks which are profitable. My gold tanks such as the free excelsior make a lot more money on average for me (see 20k/battle net on average).

Have you shot at one lately? The upper front plate bounces more than just the odd 175 pen shell like it used to, it will bounce an L7 shot no trouble at all with a touch of angling, the behaviour definitely changed significantly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason no buff was recorded for it is because it was an accident their legendary QA never picked up.

That buff was recorded previously, they did mention it in 9.4 or 9.3, if I recall correctly. edit: 9.2 . http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/07/06/vk4502-ausf-b-buff-in-9-2/ edit: also http://forum.worldoftanks.asia/index.php?/topic/43096-my-opinion-about-the-vk-4502p-buff-in-92/#topmost

Got it. I have the 105mm, 2 seconds is very meaningful, that should get me to under 10 seconds reload. I didn't think view range was as important in a heavy tank, but maybe that's ignorant. Turret it is. Turret > engine > radio now.

Tanks is a slow game. 2 seconds is nothing unless you are suiscouting which you shouldn't be.

Running the same resolution on both?


Tanks is heavily, heavily CPU dependent. An upgrade to your CPU will do substantially more than a graphics card update will.

I had an R9 290 with an i7 920...barely hit mid 40fps most of the time. Then I got an i5 4690? Now I'm looking at 60fps all of the time, period, at the same resolution.

Uranium 235 posted:

Even if you aim, the 13 90 isn't accurate enough to reliably hit weak points unless you're really close to your target. If you're really close to your target, you should probably be moving or you're going to get gibbed. If you're moving, you can't aim for weak points.

170 pen works okay on the 13 90, but the tank is so much better shooting APCR. Especially in the tier 10 games that it will routinely see.

Scout tanks aren't supposed to be in people's faces. A majority of my shots are sniping like a td when opportunity presented itself. Yet 70%+ accuracy isn't hard.

In a scout you don't aim or brawl, you autoaim and run circles.

I guess I don't play anywhere near like you do?

notwithoutmyanus

Uranium 235 posted:

The problem isn't being unable to hit things when sniping in a 13 90, it's being unable to pen things. With 0.38 dispersion and only 170 pen, you're going to have a hard time penning a lot of your possible targets. You don't have the accuracy to reliably hit weak points at a distance. And when you are circling someone, 170 pen can still lead to bounces. Since your clip reload is so long, bouncing one or two shots when you're circling someone can be the difference between surviving the encounter and dying.

With APCR, you have 248 pen, so none of this matters. If you hit a target, you're probably going to pen it unless it's the strong point on the tank (top frontal plate, mantlet, frontal turret). It just opens up so many more opportunities to deal damage for the 13 90.

Like I said, with some tanks, gold rounds aren't really that much better than silver rounds. But some tanks get insanely good gold, and the 13 90 is one of them. 248 APCR is really, really good.



Use gold whenever feels right, all the time is an option of course. I'm not denying good ACPR on the 1390. Something is wrong if you can't make 170 pen work against anything other than tanks with >170mm sides, though. Those are when gold is a must. You have a genuine playstyle problem if you can't figure out how to aim for weak spots or position to shoot the side of tanks.

I guess I'm used to low pen, playing e25/t71/t69 and doing well in them?

Don't even wait for a reason to shoot pubs. If they get in your way mid match get them out of your way.
