this is true. Didn’t they say no to multiple arty firing arcs (low arc, low travel time, and then high arc high travel time, would be more realistic and give more options to the player compared to the current high arc low travel time) because it would be too confusing? lol.

lol oh we know, we know, you tell us oh so often that it’s not a historical game. And it’s not. It really is not. And yet, they use “historical accuracy” for all kinds of stupid things, like nerfing the front armor of the super pershing, to having the Sturer Emil have only 15 shells.

gg WG was close

An emulator is just a program that mimics the operating environment of a different system than what it is running on. Basically, it’s a program that your operating system (OS X in this case) is capable of running, and this program has been designed to run programs (WoT) that were originally built to be run on a different operating system (Windows.)

It used to be decent. Then they decided to implement autoaim.

WT is a immense fest of either oneshots or bugged damage models. WoWP is an magic homing bullet hell where evading is meaningless and so is aiming. As long as your plane is roughly pointing at the enemy he will take damage.

The ‘emulator’ they are using is Wine. Which is a recursive name meaning “Wine Is Not an Emulator”

It’s simply an implementation of Windows API’s. It will still require X86 processor to run as the code is ran natively. They also have an implementation of DirectX that translates the drawcalls into OpenGL. There is some overhead in this but it’s nowhere near what an emulator would cause (compared to things like SNES emulator etc).

You can run wot in Linux and OSX even now using it. They even have an active maintainer: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27815

almost…

you can run emulators on osx (and linux) to run most windows programs, there are reports of some actually running smoother/faster like this than native windows.

its basically a “virtual machine”…

a VM is like an entirely seperate PC, inside your PC.

some run Origin in a VM because it looks at your software installed.. spying…

- Q: “Who is the game made for, developers of players?” A: “Not idiots, that’s for sure!”

Yeah, right, thats why 90% of the player base is made out of idiots and developers hesitate to include game features because they might “confuse the idiots”

Yeah, the tiger was totally nerfed due to historical accuracy, the tiger II was also totally nerfed due to historical accuracy.
