Oh dear that IS a lot of text so a pat to your back SS !

No compensation for stug and pz4 owners? just another label to “CRUELTY TO FANS AND GAMERS”, really, but I hope that will smoothen the pz4 grind for those scout haters and knobs.

Actually he is right.. its less then the surface 1000² has.
Math is hard u say.
Bro, do u even calc?

564²*π=999328.056736 The absolute difference with 1000² is about -630
565²+π=1002874.91484 The absolute difference with 1000² is about 2900

No, you went on an extended and gratuitous whine about performance. Which had nothing to do with the topic at hand, ie. the patch numbering and possible reasons thereof.
And watch moar Pulp Fiction you philistine.

On another note, I can run the game at near max settings on a comp setup that was put together on a decidedly limited budget three-four years ago and still reliably get around 60 FPS so eh. Not that worried about this ERMAHGERD PRFURMANSH you dweebs keep crying about.

You said 9.xx will be about visuals I said it will be about bullshit until the game won’t be optimized,”motherfucker”.

And yet they won’t replace the fake FV215b or add DX11 capabilities.

“- FV4202 will be switched for another tank (SS: almost certainly Vickers MBT Mk.I, although Storm states this issue is not completely decided yet)”

What.

Why would you top off a line containing two Centurion tanks with something that is less of what makes the Centurion what it is – a moderately-armored hull and silly-trollish turret drivable at reasonable medium-tank speeds – and more a Leopard-wannabe?

You have another Centurion variant that has a cool name, looks pretty awesome, and is most definitely an upgrade as far as hull-down goes. If you want to keep the historical 20pdr instead of shoving an unhistorical L7 into it, great, fine; buff its RoF, make APCR its standard ammo, pull some numbers for smaller-caliber HESH ammo out of your ass so it has something for premium ammo. Mess with the ground resistance numbers so flat-ground agility doesn’t take a hit from the (presumably heavier) turret. Bam, done, easy tier 10 replacement.

I don’t…just…why? Why would you go for something comparatively unrelated instead of using the obvious replacement? Why make players shift playstyles *again* in the line (thinking of the primarily flanky Cromwell – hulldown Comet/Centurion difference here) instead of putting in a tank that handles like the ones they’ve gotten used to?

Yes, actually. Point-blank, flat-on against the back of the engine deck with lucky rolls (any angling will make it bounce…well, more), and the upper glacis if you shoot it from above. I suppose you could go for the top of the engine deck too, if you can see that instead.

The back can be hard to get to because of it turning nearly as well as a medium, and the glacis/engine deck are situational, but…yea, sure, there’re places :v
