He is right, though – except no Russian will ever face that fact unless he or she has lived abroad for a long time. Only Russians are at liberty to call Russia crap, anybody else has to revere its greatness.

Hahaha, if you expect WT to be any different, you’re in for a hell of a rude shock. Gaijin manage to make even WG look competent, and if anyone is biased, it’s them.

The British line is victimised? What? Cromwell, Comet, and both Centurions own. 4202 is massively underrated because people think clan wars is everything when in reality it is such a tiny aspect of the game. The Matilda would be OP if it wasn’t limited by its speed, the low tier Cruisers are all very good, the Churchill I is pretty decent and the Caern and Conq are both very good. The FV304 is the best SPG in the entire game. Also, Tortoise is an excellent TD.

The line has a few turds, so does every line. It is far from victimised. Try learning to play the tanks rather than blaming some nebulous bias for your inability to perform in them.

Yeah, Oskin was this 1% who made it. In general, King Tigers, even normal tigers blew more T34′s apart than the russians were able to shoot down Pz.IV
You are the one with strong bias.
In fact, the russians were shocked about how fast the panthers could be brought to life from scratch.
You are actually comparing vehicles that don’t fit together at all.
The T34 was later build than even the newest german Panzer 4, so the comparison doesnt really fit.
the comparisons should be
T-26 (pretty much everything earlier than the T34) vs. Pz.IV = Pz.IV wins
T34 against Tiger = Tiger wins more often, even though the T34 could win sometimes
Tiger II against IS = draw, at least technically. The gun of the IS couldn’t penetrate the frontal armor in combat ranges
Tiger II vs. T34 = I guess 95% the Tiger II won, yes there was this one occasion with oskin, but on the other side, look at Otto Carius. He destroyed 12 IS’s with a Tiger I in a few minutes. What now, genious?

Most likely one of the reason the British line is victimized because even if the challenger sends all the information he can get , guys like this moron cant even be bothered to look at it apparently.

In my opinion a massive fail for a company that offers a service of choice and promised historically accurate tanks. I pay for premium and gold have to admit im disgusted with seeing things like this since i usually run the British mediums or currently the leopards.

This guys should be sacked for having such a mentality {since we can consider him a developer his action are affecting the game play} and somebody with a more open mind put in somebody devoted to actual tanks design himself. There again perhaps the rumors are true that WG pays peanuts for wages so you end up getting morons like this. [ pay peanuts get monkeys in return]

As far as I know both the road and cross country speed of the Tiger II was comparable to the IS.

Tell that to a Lada 2105. This thing does NOT break.

‘Some tanks are worse than others. Not a single tank is unplayable and every one of them can shine.’

I’ve played quite a many varieties of tanks, from the big boom of the ISU-152 dreaded BL10, to the sniper elite that is the Nashorn. I’ve played precision Vossprung durch Technik of the German Heavy and also the Peek-a-boom of the Russian HT. I’ve also tried for a short time the burst machine gun of the Church III and AMX-autoloaders. Even the Japanese which aren’t good at most thing, is just fun ith that gun depression .I’ve tried and succedded in making most tank work and shine and all of them have that hidden jewel……except 2.

The M3 Lee and the horrible disgusting and painful Pz Sfl V ‘Sturer emil’. The M3 Lee is forgivable as it is stuck in the black sea of Tier IV and is easy to free xp it but the TIER VII Sturer is just painful.

Awww, how terrible.

Your examples are Invalid. Indie games have a tiny customer base and pandering to whims of their players is the only thing they can do to stay afloat, often still failing and losing the business. Not listening to whiny community is why majority of the games are successful, because lets be honest, if this blog commenters are a sample of how much stupidity fills the brains of most players, wot would have failed long time ago.

Point remains: the game is successful because of what developers have done. Really good example is World of Warcraft… They couldnt give a shit about whiny pathetics on the forums and succeeded beyond anyones expectations.

I, for one, appreciate the game and what it is, without whining and “oh mah gawd I so totally the smrtest in de wurld and i know how this game should be” bullshit that so many self ritcheous forum trolls are full of.
