trip report from botes.... It's fun and interesting however, i think it has too much going on. from guns not shooting where you aim because of the Fire Control systems, to easily running aground and having too many weapon groups to use, not know which ones to use in what engagements (beyond the obvious AA for planes and big guns\ torps for destroyers) some botes have Depth charges so i think subs might become a thing. Fletchers are really cool botes

CARB is amazing...with a horrible spawn system.

CARB's spawn system is literally retarded and encourages spawn camping since it is so easy to get killed before you get any spawn points for a second tank

I beat a Japanese team coming in last place with my p-51 h by flying into space after my whole team died and let the boats won the match for me. I'm not eating a repair bill against those guys because the rest of my team decided to fly bombers or ground pounders

Eh as it stands botes are bad and a pain, you die super easily, there isnt much cover, the grind is worse than anything before including world of tanks,

Been playing the M46 paired with a P-80 a lot lately and the game is fun again for me again after a very long time. M46 "tiger" is fun and the Heat-FS is strong enough to shoot through the front of a maus turret and hit well in 8.0.


IS-6's still shrug off the heat-fs though

Japan has exactly 2 good early tanks, the ke-ni and the ho-ro. The rest are trash.
Luckily I got the chi-nu 2 and it is very good indeed.

Excuse me the Chi-Ha Long Gun is loving amazing

Ah, yeah I haven't even unlocked that one yet since it's pretty new.


Also I've been having the same weird issues with the server as most everyone else I guess. Tanks I'm looking at will stop rendering only to pop back in, rounds will phase through enemy tanks but also me. Airplanes will occasionally move in impossible manners. Just the servers taking a huge poo poo due to the event I guess.

Don't get me wrong the long gun is super easy to die in but that amazing gun makes up for it, shame it only has 10 - 11 rounds

In the air they effect the distance you get a target box with the distance marked. In CARB it'll affect the distance tanks will render, though outside of some edge cases that's not a huge deal since they revamped it.

I really hate this and think it's dumb, they should just remove vision skill from tanks and have them always render or if they wanna keep vision skill have the "render" just be a nonspecific tank render in the color of black until identified
