> players not understanding the exact mechanism of how much XP you gain for what?
> “How terrible…”

I’ve never been able to figure out WG’s objections to a) good training for players, and b) transparency in game mechanics.

(The former, for those not familiar with game design, is not really about tutorials but more about what the game, through its design, encourages and discourages. An example of a decision that pushes players in the wrong direction is the one to show kills, rather than damage or spotting, in the in-game player list.)

- Q: “Do the developers know about the disconnects from server?” A: “*surprised* What? We have servers?! Use your brain a little. If you have one.”

So, basically, no they don’t know. Great……..

And accuracy to 0.34 and pen to 200mm+.

No, that would ruin SerB’s argument of current matchmaker.

To be fair, the player who got 4 kills and did 1000 damage did a much better job than the other player.

Well, IS-4 armor can be stronk but guess what will happen with WT’s damage model once a 152mm rocket will hit its roof, what will happen if he gets detracked and artillery decides to shut him off, etc… And it’s a heavy, unable to quickly react to strategical changes, it was cancelled IRL because entirely unnecessary and ineffective against battlefield threats…

Tiger would fit perfectly one tier lower with L/71 removed or severely nerfed:

- Terror VS tier IV
- Could slug it out VS tier V
- Balanced versus tier VI ( british style gameplay)
- Could still damage tier VII with L/70 or Waffe 0725
- Hopeless VS tier VIII as it should be

and FFS: 75mm L/70 is supposed to be an upgrade from the short 88, not the opposite.

And that dmg upon detecting is not counted as half of normal damage, but even more than normal damage (strange though)

- SerB doesn’t like the fact SU-76 and T-70 can’t meet Tigers in battle (to be historically appropriate), but says he can’t do anything about that
___________
Move Tiger to T5 :D Remove the L71 gun, nerf the RoF on a short 88 to a BDR G1B RoF with 90mm gun and decrease HP to 650-700. It’s not like it’s armor would be too OP. KV-1 would still had more troll armor than a Tiger and i’m pretty sure it would be more balanced than a shitty VK3001H that no one drives(unless you are grinding it). Voila!!! SU-76 can now meet Tiger and T-70 also. Well they wouldn’t be able to do much against them, but on the other hand they can’t do much against any other T5 tank. After all they are T3 and are not meant to kill T5s and win T5 battles.

Even if Tiger is T6 it still wouldn’t be able to meet SU-76 due to +2 MM difference.
