Again, not much info today.

Noobs trap? :D
Indeed.
I got to know them very recently when I started playing medium tanks, since I mostly used the city part of Live Oaks, being a mostly heavy tank user.
Having 10k matches and then falling to these traps makes for some really embarrassing moments.
yup, while in snipermode I drove forward to better aim at target which was reversing into cover and suddenly… blop blop blop blop and I drowned my Leo PTA :(
Can you send me the replay? ^.^
I must admit I fell in there too recently.
“Noobs trap? :D”
That’s not funny. I tried to ram a guy on one of those slopes (after watching too many episodes of RNG), missed and went into the water.
Ok, it was funny.
It’s true that it happens to experienced players.
And yes, I laughed at myself.
Even better, there’s a good hiding spot for most scouts in the swamp that I like to spot from. Little did I know that the ELC is about the only thing short enough to drown there! Mega-embarrassing!
ELC is (i think) the lowest tank there is,
with a mere 1.78m high you can just about drown everywhere.
The UC 2-pdr and UE 57 likely have it beat, doubly so as like half their height comes from the guns. Also prime candidates for drowning in rivers 2 cm deep, along with the oxen and half your family.
Reminds me of the time a ELC was crossing the little creek on Highway west of the north base.. somebody detracked it in the water and it drowned.
It’s pretty easy to accidentally reverse into some of them when hill-peeking. :/
(Been there done that… >.<)
These places are not only on Live Oaks map. I fell into such a trap on the Fjords map. Really frustrating.
Nothing particular, it seems.
No T57 nerf? You mean, still OP?
Yep :P
Glorious.
Gotta grind it then.
T57 isn’t OP in my opinion. It’s a paper tank best played from the second line or like a TD.
Sure it can dish out around 1600 damage in one clip, but it bounces a lot if you aren’t careful.
Playing it with gold ammo only, is VERY expensive, so not really an option for most players unless you are in a clan.
It not that easy to play IMO at least not for me.
But it’s way better than 50B. That’s the reason for a rebalance.
It’s probably a better idea to buff 50b than it is to nerf the T57.
I’d love that!
Then I’d like T110E5 back to its glory… if T57 is allowed a hefty 7.7 RoF Give us atleast 6.6 for T110E5… it got that… that… tu… tuo… tmoo…. tumour on its head and lfp is equally weak for TX guns.
Buffing Maus E-100 with DPM would be a handy too… or then drop T57 RoF to 7 … Done with it. But constant nerfs could be done with constant buffs…
Yeah, I want default RoF on 215b, these 100mm more on the turret are useless…
Q: “Severogorsk is tiny and should drop only for lowtier tanks”
A: “Your opinion is very important to us”
Me : “So is your opinion…”
So is yours.
That’s why you’re here and reading Serb’s opinions. :)
He’s the chief dev.
You’re not.
Do The Math(tm). :D
Official Xp formula= Random Number Generator
Cuz sometimes you can see people get more xp with 0 damage then 1000 damage, etc.
A question to you SS: Do you know something about changing the xp system to the old way? I mean arty get less 50% td get less 33%. Even with highest damage i barely got middle range xp. Thx in advance.
The_Pho
In those cases its spotting. The 0 damage tank spotted damage for allies and spotted enemy tanks. The 1,000 damage tank dealt damage to tanks that allies spotted(so 50% of his xp goes to the spotters)
The problem is those 0 damage tanks didnt move at all, afk, bot, etc, so no spotted damage. Next time i will do some print screens.
Depends whether you damage enemy on your own or on other’s spot.
Rewards more XP if on your own spot.
- if you start teamdamaging SerB in random battle, you will get a temporary ban
it was worth it :D
Even playing on RU server is not worth it.
Except if you like all the benefits RU server gets.
I better deal with siemas than with those kids.
Ofc they are not gonna nerf T57 yet. It’s still being grinded massively. They still can milk out lots of cash from players that are converting exp etc. to get T57. Once it stops being that much popular they’ll nerf it and spit in the face of all players that spent money and time to get it.
Welcome to the bloody capitalism :)
Q: WG being Capitalist Bastards?
A: “How Terrible”
And if I worked at WG, I’d do the same. That’s how you make money, kid. Welcome to the real world.
Mojang wants to have a word with you.
Never said it can’t be done other way. But the way WoT economy is built, making slightly OP tanks like Foch 155 & T57 Heavy are atm and thus luring stupids to pay money to get them is a good way to make profit. And in all honesty, if you are stupid enough to take the bait in form of slightly OP tank (which will be nerfed to make it balanced when there is no serious profit from it anymore – that much is obvious), you deserve to be left with less money on your bank/pay pal etc. account.
Do you know a way to perfectly balance all new tanks? Because WG would surely hire you.
Poll
SerB is whinning about teamkillers.
Which one of the following would you say to SerB:
A: Don’t play teamplay-based games then.
B: How terrible…
I hope I could catch SerB’s style.
SerB doesnt whine, he acts immediately.
You don’t need to whine when you have The Banhammer(tm).
Banpanzer more like it.
> (SS: eg. it won’t be changed)
oh really SS? Apparently you didn’t get it first time…
e.g. = exempli gratia = for example (czech: napr. = napriklad)
i.e. = id est = that is (czech: tj. = to jest / tedy)
I hope you get it, if not, well, what can I say, only that learning is a sign of intelligence. Not learning is a sign of ignorance.
For eggsample, I dont give a damn.
Being ignorant is your right. Good choice for you.
You are whining cause he used e.g. instead of i.e.?
Seems to be a pet peeve of many people, as it is one of the more common mistakes.

Grammar Nazis are the only good kind of Nazi. :P
Not raely, thsi probabely pisess him of :D Two many grammer nazis on the internets.
Silence, Typo Jew. >:c
I am using it as “ergo” (“thus, therefore”), which as far as I know is cut short as “eg.”, not “e.g.”
Better just throw some kryptonite at him and be done with it :D
“Ergo” is too short to shorten it more… ;)
Far as I know “ergo” has no grammatically acceptable shortening… :/
I guess I’ll start my own SilentSpeak then :)
I’ve got a question about:
“- Swedish Rikstanken (based on the L-120) apparently won’t be implemented, as it is armed with a 7,92mm machinegun”
http://dinky-bloggity-blog-blog.blogspot.com/2011/06/national-tank-of-norway-landsverk-l-120.html
First of all there is written that Rikstanken is Norwegian tank. Secondly I didn’t find the L-120 tank, only Rikstanken version, could sb send the photo or info?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Landsverk_L-120_during_Norwegian_winter_exercise.jpg
It’s a Swedish tank called L-120, but one was sold to Norway and that one specific tank was renamed “Rikstanken” as it was the first Norwegian tank. So you are correct that it was a Norwegian tank, but it was made in Sweden, so if it had shown up in the game so would it most likely been considered a Swedish tank. Although a Norwegian premium tank would have worked I guess.
“- on Live Oaks map (and some others), there are some very tricky steep shores, if you drive on them, you will slide into water without the possibility to do anything. This won’t be changed.”
I’m normally pretty good when it comes to driving, but did slide off the northmost shore once when approaching the bridge from the west, trying to be sneaky. It was…mildly irritating.
The thing is coated with oil, I swear. I guess you can argue realism, though; a dirt bank like that probably wouldn’t hold a tank very well anyway.
“- Swedish Rikstanken (based on the L-120) apparently won’t be implemented, as it is armed with a 7,92mm machinegun (SerB: “And who do you want to knock out with such a caliber?”) (SS: the fact something is equipped with a 7,92mm MG does NOT mean it can be implemented, regular 7,92mm AP shells have less than 10mm of penetrating power, the Panzer I Ausf.C gun is very, very specific in this)”
I’m not familiar with this tank, but just because it has a gun that can’t damage anything above tier 1 (and even there have trouble), doesn’t make it useless. Give it insane enough stats otherwise (camo, view range, ground resistance, etc) and it can still contribute, it’ll just be a bit harder than the other tier 1′s to use.
Again, though, don’t know anything about this tank, so you guys would know better than I whether or not it is indeed completely useless for gameplay purposes.
Tier 1 scout? Are you frigging kidding me….
i just think all maps should be in the game for all the tiers…people just have to learn to play in many diferent ways diferent tactics if it wasnt for that this game will lose all the fun.. its not suppose to be easy to play wherever i think.
Agree. Widepark for high tiers worked very well, people could learn close combat tactics.
Well, it could work as a perimum tank that can only end up in tier 1 matches.
“if you start teamdamaging SerB in random battle, you will get a temporary ban”
Pfft! You think I’d give a damn!? His raging would be priceless!
