Magres posted:E: vvvvvvv I'm almost positive that model is outdated, because they changed how non-penetrating HE hits are modeled at some point. I think it is for the current system although to be honest I only skimmed it. The old model was basically just "you always deal half damage minus their periscope/roof armor and also all their poo poo breaks". it was better. bring it back.

Captainplankface posted:Has anyone gotten the Panther 8.8 yet, how is it? Apparently it's mobility soft stats are great, making it just as if not more mobile than the FCM. Good job on the transparency wargaming It's extremely similar to the Panther II. And 0,8 med passability is nice but it's not a miracle worker so I'm a bit skeptical about it keeping up with a tank with more than 40% extra hp/t.

^^^ my favorite part is the (19:44) clarification. In case 7:44 PM was confusing.rockopete posted:Max gun depression in the 8.8 is -5 vs -8 for the Warcrime. Max gun depression is 7°. It's 5° in a 40° frontal arc and 4° in a 70° arc backwards. Those extra degrees you can get by pointing over the corner do come in handy. Just look at the E-50.

A modelswapped VK36 would probably sell. And since WG's policy on standard-tanks-as-premiums has shifted from "no" to "$49,98" we'll probably see it eventually.

Bummer that they're just changing the VR on TDs. And the FCM36 is conspicuously absent from that list. It's good to be a premium, I guess. Also: FTR posted:- some light tanks rebalanced: M41 and T37 nerf [...] Well that's just completely out of left-field.

You could play your first game blindfolded and still do better than half the players in the match. Jump right in. Get in a platoon later to get some advice from experienced players dumped on you.

Big honking Q&A from Storm. FTR. Mostly stuff we already knew. Also SS won't cover WoWS any more so hopefully someone less terrible will do that eventually.  .quote:- it’s “completely possible” that Italy and Sweden will get completely independent trees I want to believe. quote:- roaming was cancelled. The reason is the inadequacy of Russian server players, who would abuse it to screw with battles on other servers. There are however also problems not related with RU behavior – mass migrations might harm server stability. How many times has this been canceled now? Just make it premium only and flip it on. It'll be fine.

Mesadoram posted:Wait, what? I thought they said there was no time limit on the missions. That should still be the case. They want to add a new set of tanks and missions every six months or so (wargaming time) and they never expire. We'll see how it ends up but there hasn't been an EOL date set or anything.

rockopete posted:I'm not sure what to make of this. Has there been any other word of WG ditching preferential matchmaking? Or is SS perhaps translating badly? Not as far as I can remember, but I have noticed that they're not really adding any new soft-MM T8s either (thank god). I guess they've realized that having soft MM on half the T8 tanks in the queue means that playing the other half is not only miserable, but also creates a vicious cycle of no one wanting to play standard T8s because they just end up in T10 which leads to an even larger portion of the standard-8s ending up in T10, etc etc - and on top of that the soft-8s end up preying on T6-7 tanks. They probably should do something about the KV-5, IS-6 et al but I'm pretty sure that they won't. Maybe some of them will be removed from the store in an eternity or two.

Animal posted:What is the precedent for when WG removes a lovely tank like the Awful Panther and you have it in your garage with halfway XP to the next tank? Do they give you the credits and the XP as free XP? It's straight swapped, so if you've got, say, an AufPanth with 3500 exp, elite tracks and top gun but stock turret it turns into a SpähPz with 3500 exp, elite tracks and top gun but stock turret. You might get a small refund if there's some module that doesn't match up 1:1. I'm not sure that I'm really looking forward to the swap. For all the AufPanth's flaws, it does have personality.

Atal Vataman posted:unless the gun handling is terrible or something, it sounds like something i'd love. The gun handling is fairly mediocre at 0,2/0,16. It's a pretty painful combo with the super-fragile turret since you'll miss a bit too often if you just do a split-second peek, Patton-style. It sure does move fast though.

Wade Wilson posted:Are the repair rounds worth loving around with for the silver cost in the goofy block tank mode? Heal 1k HP (~5 shots) and you get an extra 250/500 exp for a loss/win in the Arctic Fox. I'm not sure if it works in the other tanks. And if you want to go maximum tryhard I'm sure there's all kinds of tactics you could cook up, but, well, why bother? Making red tanks explode is more fun than making green tanks not-explode.
