I bet the ELC has enough gun elevation and low enough to shoot that part.

Does it really matter it’s winrate? I mean, if your team does well without you, it doesn’t matter if you fired 10 shots and only got 1 pen. And for a “really good tank” like the Indien Pz or the Panther II, it doesn’t matter if you got Radley-Walter’s, you can still lose.

Point is, just cause a tank is “doing fine statistically” doesn’t mean that it’s a good tank or a fun tank.

He’s got a point, though: The SuperPershing “rebalance” was a complete fail.

Because it’s not rape when you are liberating them :) …

Because your pretty blatant biases don’t affect that judgement the least or anything, right?

That’s the only way to render a 2D plane in a 3D game. Crysis, Halo, etc, take your pick–all do the same thing. Only the next generation of hardware will be able to handle volumetric bushes.

It would be a waste of time to implement Havok and not the engine changes to accompany them. Wait for the launch, then. As a customer, you are in a very, very small minority. If the updated visuals look so disgustingly horrible, then do not play.

BF3′s development team collectively spent many, many months doing nothing but engine optimizations, just so it would look better on lower quality hardware. Months of people on payroll while they do slow optimization work.

WoT cannot afford to sit on its hands for 8 months, pushing very few updates out, just to optimize the engine. This is if you were to repurpose most of your team into learning how. Much easier to hire a few guys to do it while the rest of the team carves out the rest of he game. Furthermore, they do not have the financial health of a publisher, and very few game studios can say they do. For what the engine is, it is very optimized, and they will continually push out engine optimizations with time, as they have done.

I’m guessing you don’t follow FTR too closely, or you would have read the average level of hardware used by the great majority of players.

Their main competitor can’t figure out how to balance their own economy, not fracture their own playerbase, or design a game. I would love for Gaijin to prove me wrong, but I wouldn’t bet a penny on it.

Very simple, actually. The Pershing falls apart during a tactical flank to its large size and slower speed. For the great majority of the time, it will be seeing the fronts of tanks, not sides. Thus, APCR gives the Pershing a way to deal damage frontally, even at range. It’s a rather fair compromise. A T-44 doesn’t even need APCR.
