Hello everyone, in case you are wondering what the hell happened that suddenly in one day, we have so much info on 9.1, it’s because tomorrow, the 9.1 open test was supposed to begin. As far as I know (from WG RU), the test was postponed to next week – the reason for that is the fact the 9.1 test build is bugged (specifically, nasty FPS drops). WG wants to fix that first.
- VK Porsche not buffed while it needs a buff? “It happens”
- Storm states that the nerf of imbalanced tanks WILL come, developers did not decide to leave them
- gold ammo shots make 10-15 percent of all shots fired, sometimes up to 20 percent – there are peaks of more, but they are rare, official statistics won’t be disclosed
- Storm confirms that gold ammo statistics do not show “terrible dominance of gold ammo”
- the gold ammo statistics are about the same for tier 10 and the entire game
- Storm states he could partially agree with the increase of role of armor
- skill MM? Storm: “If it will come, then in a separate mode, such as ‘ranked random’ as an addition to normal random battles”
- normalization will not be further reduced, it’s small as it is
- T18 will still be too strong in 9.1? “You can play on T18″ (Storm states later that T18 will be nerfed)
- developers are slowly working on (now admitted) issue of freezes whenever you detect (light up) a new tank
- one of the variants is making nerfs/buffs in batches by tiers (for example “in patch 9.2, tanks of tier 6 will be rebalanced”)
- Q: “On forums, noobs are being all happy, they are going to play with T18 and Hellcat!” A: “Well, at least someone is happy”
- on tier 6 balance: “Well, if we are to rebalance Hellcat, we also need to rebalance KV-1S so the tier is fixed”
- in 9.2, “more complex approach” to rebalance will come (Storm adds: “if we manage to do it”)
- 9.1 will not bring any HD models, it’s not connected
- players pointed out to Storm that there are other guns, where gold ammo damage doesn’t correspond to silver ammo damage, Storm stated he would investigate (SS: it’s a bug, they should correspond)
- Storm confirms: all LT tier 4-7 (apart from exceptions) will have their MM spread improved by removing the top battletier
- carrying capacity of M46 Patton will not be buffed in 9.1
- Veider states that the point of the Hellcat nerf is the fact that now it is too unversal, it’s not like a TD, more like a MT, that’s why the Hellcat parameters that are more like MT-ish were supposed to be nerfed in 9.1, while the TD-ish parameters stayed the same, the nice gun and depression were left alone
- the 9.1 patch will be technical with various fixes, not much on a content (just one map)
- Storm admits that FPS issues were not fixed unfortunately in 9.1
- Storm states that increasing the penetration drop over distance is not a good solution to improve the role of armor, as vehicles with low penetration as it is will suffer while those with a really big one will not even notice
- Q: “Is general nerf of Soviet tier 10 mediums planned for 2014? Veider: “Why just Soviet ones?”
- gun accuracy will be reduced by a little via accuracy mechanism, not by nerfing tank stats because the general accuracy is too high, this concerns tanks – not arty (SS: or at least arty will be considered separately)
- Assault on Sand River will still be removed if I understand it correctly (SS: this is unclear)
- Storm confirms that patch 9.1 has FPS issues, they are looking for the problem
- Storm states that they made “too many paper tanks” (SS: lol at Soviet LT8 and WT E-100)
- Christie tanks will come but not soon
- Storm states that making more smaller patches (for exmaple with tank changes only) is not impossible, but difficult to do due to the amounts of testing, WG won’t do that
- currently the rate is 1 patch per 1,5 months
- Veider explains that the nerfing of both Tigers (P and H) is connected – Tiger P is currently imbalanced (SS: but not by much), but it would become more imbalanced after the nerf of Tiger H, both have to be nerfed at once
- WT RhB is OP and will be nerfed
- Veider states that Maus is fine, it’s just not for everybody
- Storm states he plays on tier 10 and there aren’t too few TD’s, but there also aren’t too many for it to be a problem
- according to Storm, TD’s make 25-30 percent of tier 9-10 tanks in battles, he adds that players posting screenies with tons of TD’s are not right, single screenies do not reflect the general situation
- Storm doesn’t play much himself, he says he has too much work, he trusts his co-workers, who DO play a lot
- SU-101 buff? “We will work on that. For now no comment”
- ARL V39 will also be watched
- there is an idea at WG to generally shift the main value (SS: as in, the main factor deciding how much money you earn) of the tank from damage done (by for example adding bonus for blocking damage by your armor)
- while the point above might seem logical, Veider explains that it’s not that easy. For example, when you implement a bonus from deflecting damage using your armor, a light tank can ricochet a 750 dmg shell and immediately gets much more bonus than it should have since that shell could for example be more than it actually has hitpoints
- premium TD’s will not be nerfed
- +/-25 RNG will not be reduced
- for now, there are no exact plans for changing the FV215b (183)
- the reasons why gold ammo amount is not limited in the game (harcapped) are the reduction of profit for Wargaming and the fact that people, who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting
- historical battles don’t have some tanks, that actually participated in the respective battles (such as KV-1 in Kursk), because they would be completely useless there and they would only be cannon fodder
- the digs on the main Kharkov square on the Kharkov map are historical, they were there in WW2 according to Wargaming history consultants
- Kharkov will not come out in HD
- Evilly confirms that the “leaked HD content selector” is legit, it’s work in progress
- lighting in 9.0 started consuming massive GPU resources, developers switched the Ambient Occlusion (SS: I think) to a high quality one
- compressed sounds do not reduce the game performance, Storm states they tested it and the difference between compressed and uncompressed sound was like 0,1 percent
- the only difference between HD and non-HD models will be texture quality
- there are fixes planned for the lower quality textures that are too bright in 9.0, soon
- the info that T23E3 will have the same speed backward as forward is obsolete, it will be reduced to 11 km/h
more FPS drops, just great. Maybe they should postpone this patch to the end of time.
You cant stop progre… I mean, fps drops!
- lighting in 9.0 started consuming massive GPU resources, developers switched the Ambient Occlusion (SS: I think) to a high quality one
This really puzzles me. Most games these days let you choose between SSAO and HBAO or off at least. It’d be much better if they included these options so people could balance their performance to eye candy a bit better.
I wonder why don’t they leave the sliders but also give the more standard options in drop down menus for those that want to tinker with them. As it stands since we don’t know what the sliders do exactly we get unexpected performance drops with the same settings as before each time one of these patches hits.
Yes it looks like the KV-1s will be nerfed in patch 9.2! Brilliant.
Now if only they would keep their promises.
This patch doesn’t bring much though. I thought they might fix the FPS drops but looks like they screwed up (somehow) once again.
M4 sherman is nerfed to shit now and very UP with shit DPM
M4 UP…
Dear God…
On the 105. It’s still one of the best tier 5 meds
just look at pz 4 105 it is better than m4 105 , ARE you playing WOT or not?
I am. Funnily enough, I’m just playing Pz.IV with the 10.5. and I wasn’t saying M4 was best on 105, i was saying that the DPM is shit on 105.
DMP being low doesn’t make the tank UP. M4 still has better armor and mobility than Pz IV. And it a medium tank. Mediums are meant to rely more on mobility than on gun. Don’t like low DPM on 105 learn how to aim and use 76 mm.
How terible, now you have to play OP T-34 and PZ IV, maybe even some high tier tanks..poor us
“the fact that people, who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting”
tell that to the statpadders who spam those gold shells on t 54 t 71 t54e1 and other autoloaders!!
this is pure jealousy.. I mean.. are these people really buying AMMO for gold ? its fucking expensive!
I buy gold ammo only for credits…
And all you can see is me spamming gold shells in one battle.. You dont see me playing 10 other battles to earn the credits that one match cost me….
But I do it because that one match is fun.
I was pissed at my T28Protshit, so I jumped to my E100, loaded gold and just shot everyone. Didnt even carred about credits :D
thats what Im talking about :D
Just have FUN once in a while.. let the steam out…
and then, being sad about the credit loss :D
It was 5 battles in a row :D Also didnt receive a lot of damage and there was some credit reward mission. So 0:0 on expenses :D
I bounce more HEAT than AP in my E100….i know, im bad…
Keep shooting HEAT in tracks and it will never change :)
I shoot only gold(HEAT) with my SU-152 ! 250mm pen 700 dmg in tier 7 ;) And if every shoot penetrates, I can even earn 1k to 3k .. (I mean the M20S gun)
“people, who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting”
less interesting? Rly, such people are… I don’t know…
They would be forced to actually USE SKILL to actually aim at weak spots, which they don’t have.
Always this SKILL BS – premium ammo is legal to use, so deal with it.
Ohai 300 WN8.
- Veider states that the point of the Hellcat nerf is the fact that now it is too unversal, it’s not like a TD, more like a MT, that’s why the Hellcat parameters that are more like MT-ish were supposed to be nerfed in 9.1, while the TD-ish parameters stayed the same, the nice gun and depression were left alone
Isn’t the mobility one of the only few things the Hellcat has going for it?
Don’t forget about the gun, the turreta and the camo.
So, basically everything.
The only thing on the hellcat that is considerably bad is the hull armour, turret traverse and health-pool. ( and the healthpool is only bad compared to non-TDs. ) It has a good all around gun, good gundepression, good alpha, good dpm, good turret armour, great camo, great spotting range, great top speed, good mobility, okay acceleration and a relatively small profile. It’s the closest older tank to the WT RhB which itself is a troublesome vehicle.
The hellcat might have poor city performance, but there aren’t that many city-only maps so in most maps it can preform very well. It’s not as noob-friendly as the other troublesome tier 6 but it’s hardly balanced.
“people who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting”
Yeah, well, f**k people who run ‘full gold ammo setup’. The game is not and should never be balanced around gold/premium ammo, and people who spam nothing but gold ruin it for everyone else. Armour needs to mean something again!
Yep. Gold rounds are specifically biased against tanks that use armour, and probably inversely (assuming tanks are balanced against silver rounds) biased towards paper armour tanks that get something extra to compensate which isn’t negated by gold rounds.
well yes, I dont care if anybody is spamming gold when Im driving leopard or batmobile… anything can penetrate those…
on the other hand, Im usually using gold ammo for credits when I either wanna have some fun in my e100 or when I need to grind something with awful stock gun…
I hated vk2001 for example.. short 88 is useless in tier9 match. I switch to gold to actually be able to do something and not just waste x2 for first victory…
I think you mean vk3002d.. but yeah short 88 has awful penetration even on tier6 it can bounce a lot
Gold rounds still ricochet plenty against good/sloped armour and credit rounds will pen if you hit weak spots.
It is tank dependent, some (E100,T69) need gold to perform but most tanks can do ok with silver.
well even gold on e100 is situational… hit spaced armor and its 0 damage
Yeah and we all drive E100 everyday.
“people who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting”
It’s better to make 15 of his opponents to find the game less interesting. Such a crap excuse!
So T23 went from 56 k/h to 11?
That’s a joke.
First Storm said it would be 56 both directions( Or was it veider?). After that SerB went like : herp-a-derp we need to nerf the not-even-yet-existing tank for sake of balance to around 34 km/h (Which is just dumb if you ask me, They should leave some uniqueness in the game. Hopfully uniqueness is a word) and now we have Storm going herp-a-derp reducing it to 11 km/h. GG WG ^^
Back into cover due to low armor and shitty gun? TOO OP!
56 backwards speed was a bug. It was a bug from a start, it just got fixed.
Not a bug, the real thing did go the same speed in both forward and reverse. At first they said they were going to let it do that in game, but then said it was “stupid and unrealistic” and thus we have the 11 km/h now.
accuracy is too damn high !!! nerf it !!!
http://i.imgur.com/7jDsBku.png
LOL this sounds ridiculous by itself, but when compared to WarThunder is highly laughable LOLOLOLOL
Look again, the damage on the KV-1S is by his platoon mate on the right ;-)
What happened to his own shell, don’t know. From the looks of it he shot the KV-1′s turret…
A43 cant put in a90mm and do such dmg…
Activate Server Crosshair and you will see were you are really aiming. Especially when comming around corners you often can see the Server Cross aiming into the building.
gold ammo shots make 10-15 percent
of all shots fired
Is it only me who sees how fucked up this is? Sure, some tanks needs it, but others?
Oh a Maus! Load easy mode ammo!
‘Balancers’. Not to mention 1 year of not nerfing Kvass.
Eeyup. If I remember correctly, before gold for credits was implemented, the value was quoted as about 3% for randoms.
- the reasons why gold ammo amount is not limited in the game (hard*capped) are the reduction of profit for Wargaming and the fact that people, who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting
Cause aiming is hard work. This answer must be trolling cause it is hilarious.
- skill MM? Storm: “If it will come, then in a separate mode, such as ‘ranked random’ as an addition to normal random battles”
Could we just try this? I’m really curious to see how these matches would be on average.
Camping hard or coordinated rush.
Yeah it would suck. Dick. Not to mention the low ranks being full of “omg just noobs isn’t this ranked MM why am I amongst noobs fucking Polaks”.
I would support high-skill MM IF there was a way of communication besides the chat. Like throwing a bunch of good people together will (as you said) make a campfest. The rush could only be coordinated if someone would coordinate it, maybe it could be like Caotain’s mode in Dota 2 where a guy picks the strategy and stuff pre-game.
Coordination in random battles? You must be new here! XD
- Storm states that they made “too many paper tanks” (SS: lol at Soviet LT8 and WT E-100)
No shit.
- gun accuracy will be reduced by a little via accuracy mechanism, not by nerfing tank stats because the general accuracy is too high, this concerns tanks – not arty (SS: or at least arty will be considered separately)
When I woke up in the morning I totally felt like WoT needs some more RNG.
This has surprisingly few replies. Just give the KV-1S a 100mm gun that has the same pen as the old with the same DPM as the old and I will be happy to continue playing the KV-1S. Even though I believe it is not overpowered as I can easily kill them as well.
The 100mm would make me want to get it back.
I would probably prefer a KV-1S with a 100 mm gun to be honest. :P
So….
Why even release this patch??
No balance (only vk and mt25)
No FPS Improvment
No new content (one map)
why?
There is more, but in general, that’s what it boils down to…
I agree it’s not much of a patch at all, they should call it hotfix… what is it #4 by now?
“the reason for that is the fact the 9.1 test build is bugged (specifically, nasty FPS drops). WG wants to fix that first.”
– Sounds like another 9.0 problem in the making, they will fix fps drop on test server, then they will give us the bugged build on live server.
9.1 test build is bugged (specifically, nasty FPS drops)
Now im waiting for news that state the following:
WoT Gameengine spontaneously combusted and burned to the ground.
“TD’s make 25-30 percent of tier 9-10 tanks in battles” so out of 5 classes that should be showing ~20% in each top tier battle (so 3 per class), however people are playing 4-5 TDs to every 3 of each other class.
Arty’s are played the least, I believe. so the optimal matchmaking would be something like
5 TD 4HT 3MT 1LT 2ARTY
or
5 TD 4HT 4MT 2ARTY
Without arty it’s usually an extra TD or Heavy.
But almost consistently you get at least 2 WTF E100′s on one side, sadly.
I actually don’t ever see that much myself…
- Storm confirms that gold ammo statistics do not show “terrible dominance of gold ammo”
_________________
Well, if you compare the usage of gold ammo with the HUGE number of battles including those at low tiers ofcourse it won’t show dominance, but high tier battles are more and more saturated with it and it breaks the game balance quite significantly.
- the gold ammo statistics are about the same for tier 10 and the entire game

Bullshit.

P.S Veider is a moron. Bring back Zlobny.
The gold isn’t a problem for me in E5 or whatever. I see many people that drive stuff like E-100s and whatnot going “U GOLD NOOB HACKER blablabla” when all you have to do to pen with AP is aim at the lower plate. Gold can be easily substituted in most tanks by AIMING. Fast tanks however do need it for circling and stuff so they instapen, but I tell you that shit ain’t cheap.
If a TD pens you it’s because that’s the point, they all have high pen just for that.. If a medium pens you it’s because it’s shooting you in the arse. The only case in which gold is gamebreaking is when tanks pen your upper plate. That is lame, yes, but there’s no other way of doing that – imagine two angled Maus’ shooting eachother. Without gold they can go at it forever! IMO gold doesn’t break the game, it breaks up stalemates between armoured tanks.
I get that it’s annoying that people auto-pen you, but I just imagine their monetary losses after the battle and laugh.
Also, I wouldn’t play the ranked MM. See above, and also I have plenty of experience from Dota2 and I can tell you that it doesn’t get better for the first half. You have to swim through a lot of shit to get to the high ranks where the game actually works well.
Besides the fact you were using that meme wrong, I agree with you on everything else ;)
Agreed on the incorrect usage of the meme, though the face suits it perfectly.
Yeah well it’s hard to laugh when you are playing your Maus “SUPPOSEDLY” the most heavily armored tank in the game and has the most hitpoints, then a tiny little T71 light tank comes along or any OTHER gold spamming autoloader and take you down to 1/3 or 1/4 of your health in 1 clip of gold ammo, regardless of you angling your armor. It doesn’t make you laugh it make me want to give up even trying to play that match.
Edit: misreply.
Gold can be easily substituted in most tanks by AIMING.
________________
Congratz, you’ve discovered hot water. But why aiming when you can point ‘n’ click and it’ll pen anyway. Also i don’t mind gold ammo per se because i would be hypocrite if i do since i’m using it myself(when needed), but the gold ammo spam is the issue here and that’s exactly what WG emphasized why they don’t want to hardcap the gold ammo. It means less money for them and *lamest excuse ever* killing the “fun” for those who run gold ammo only.
I get that it’s annoying that people auto-pen you, but I just imagine their monetary losses after the battle and laugh.
_______________
And then those fucks proceeds to buy himself a gold/credits package from premium shop(bcs why not if you can afford it) and he has another batch of credits to burn on prem shells. Yea, such fun, much balanced, very exciting.
About skilled MM i think you misunderstood me. I never said i want it( quite the opposite) but my point was that despite them claiming that thing will never happen somehow they are changing their attitude towards it and it might come to the game eventually.
And meme is used bcs of text, not the picture :D
“Gold can be easily substituted in most tanks by AIMING.”
That doesn’t really work on anything but short distances. So no, aiming and gold shells effectively aren’t interchangeable.
“P.S Veider is a moron. Bring back Zlobny.”
Zlobny? No, thanks, we already have a fucked up “rebalance” in 8.6, no wonder Zlobny was fired ( i hate people who can’t do their job properly)
“- the info that T23E3 will have the same speed backward as forward is obsolete, it will be reduced to 11 km/h”
Those Clan Wars guys TOTALLY must be licking their lips prematurely at all the tasty pubbie tears they’ll collect with their OP reward! :P
Seriously, the one thing it had going for it –reverse speed: gone.
They will get gold when they give out T23E3 mission
“- players pointed out to Storm that there are other guns, where gold ammo damage doesn’t correspond to silver ammo damage, Storm stated he would investigate (SS: it’s a bug, they should correspond)”
So, bye bye French 105mm on premium rounds :(
(Luckily, it seems almost everyone went with DCA 45 so far and didn’t notice that ARL 44 105 on premium shells outdoes SU-100 with DPM, V39 even more so).
I am enjoying it while it lasts. The French are not allowed to have anything blatantly op anyways :D
Arl 44 105mm apcr is god mode!
pls dont nerf^^
People carry gold ammo as much as they can afford.
Cheap people complain.
Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be considered dumb by people instead of opening your mouth and removing all the doubts. I for example can afford much more prem shells, but i still carry and most important use them only for a situations where i really need them.
I really don’t like the LT change. Either give them a normal MM or don’t. Now this just means less spotting dmg, which results in loss of income in both xp and creds, and is essentially a nerf for good scouts.
Yeah, but a welcome buff to my AMX12t.
You know, they could make armour mean something again if they got rid of all of the overtiered/oversized gun options.
Or hardcap the gold ammo loadout. You know so you actually have to flank Maus(amaghad it’s so hard to flank 180 ton tank) instead of making him another pair of eyes on the turret front.
- the info that T23E3 will have the same speed backward as forward is obsolete, it will be reduced to 11 km/h
Not a selling point, if this stands, at least I will have a reason to never look into buying it :D
What’s even more epic is that 11 km/h is like seriously bad. TDs are known for having shitty reverse speed and it kills them when you have to pull back to cover. And this is not a TD, but medium tank so imagine how fun it is to drive a medium that can go only 11 kmh in reverse. Yea, not really fun. Srsly what are they thinking back there at WG HQ. Ok i get it, having the same speed in reverse and forward would be quite imbalanced, but then nerfing it from like 50 kmh to 11 is stupid. One of the reasons why i didn’t even bothered to get the tank. Well that and being lazy :D
Someone needs to find historical statistics on the t23 so they will rebuff the revers speed to at least the 30kph. I mean seriously, that’s what made the tank special at all.
- on tier 6 balance: “Well, if we are to rebalance Hellcat, we also need to rebalance KV-1S so the tier is fixed”
*cue M.Bison*
YES!!! YES!!!
- WT RhB is OP and will be nerfed
thank god
also they should just stop adding stuff until gameplay problems – lags, problem with fps, microlag when tank dies, running out of memory on lowest texture – is fixed.
Yep; very broken fantasy tank.
Still not broken and fantasy tank as T10 waffleshit. That thing is the real cancer. RHM is OP, but wafflee100 is broken. Difference is huge.
“- the reasons why gold ammo amount is not limited in the game (harcapped) are the reduction of profit for Wargaming and the fact that people, who run full gold ammo setup would find the game less interesting”
Then how do you explain all of the HEAT spam from 105 mm howitzers in tier 5 games?
Sealclubbers at theyr finest :)
- Storm states he plays on tier 10 and there aren’t too few TD’s, but there also aren’t too many for it to be a problem
LOL what every tier 10 game has at least 4-5 TDs sometimes even more
- Storm doesn’t play much himself, he says he has too much work, he trusts his co-workers, who DO play a lot
He just contradicted himself
Arty’s are played the least, I believe. so the optimal matchmaking would be something like
5 TD 4HT 3MT 1LT 2ARTY
or
5 TD 4HT 4MT 2ARTY
Without arty it’s usually an extra TD or Heavy.
But almost consistently you get at least 2 WTF E100′s on one side, sadly.
I actually don’t ever see that much myself…. Usually it’s more like 6 TD and medium tanks ( object 160, Batchat, T62A, Leopard 1 ) for one side and 4 heavies ( T-57, AMX 50 B, E100 ) and 5 TD’s for the other and if the map is one of the classic ”can’t flank worth shit” maps… game will last forever.
Matchmaking is so troll.
Warthunder ground forces is going to be free to play in 2 weeks time with their latest patch so I suppose they working on improving game play. Problem is they have not touch Arty.
Opps, was wrong the next patch is already here now.
Would it be possible to get any information on the roaming feature?
FIX the FPS drop, fix the bug that is freezing the game when you detect someone. Fix the freezing when a tank blows up anywhere in that map which is really boring.
At least they confirmed the RHM nerf…
“- on tier 6 balance: “Well, if we are to rebalance Hellcat, we also need to rebalance KV-1S so the tier is fixed””
lol, just lol. Is it really that HARD to balance BOTH tanks then? OH RIGHT, the other one is the most OP Russian tank at tier 6. What a fucking lame excuse.
- skill MM? Storm: “If it will come, then in a separate mode, such as ‘ranked random’ as an addition to normal random battles”
And is the best spolution, do it :)
Only try think about WN8 as good for ranking ppl. Not srtict, because WR start be more important.
and they will hopefully see that they can get rid off the normal random as almost nobody will play it anymore… like team battles replaced companies.
And NO WG, noobs don’t learn from pros trust me, i tried so often to tell them what will happen and what to doe but noobs stay noobs and they don’t care.
Or how can you explain player with 10k+ battle experience and still a WN8 below 200? Are they just handicaped persons? My 10y old son played such a game the first time in his life and had better stats after his first 50 battles… either you have sense for such a game or not.
- historical battles don’t have some tanks, that actually participated in the respective battles (such as KV-1 in Kursk), because they would be completely useless there and they would only be cannon fodder
so historical battles are not historical…. oh wait it is a russian game, they have to have a high winrate in these battles.
Did anyone notice that they only give us historical battles where the russians/allied won? Yes even you communists lost battles, unbelievable but true.
And what about all the battles from 1939-1942 where germans invaded europe easily? No balls to show both sides of war and history?
If they would introduce a battle where the germans won, their media would call them “Fashists” again (I cant take a russian calling someone fashist serious, because to me it seems, that for a russian, everyone with an other opinion is a fashist)
and thats really stupid and a reason i dont like them. They only want to show history like they want (unrealistic) and where russians won and everything else is forbidden… still very communist attitudes and propagandistic – not better than the chinese
If this would be a german game they would show both sides (won and lost) like it was historically correct.
ok i have a question that actually more directed to people like storm but maybe ss or someone else can help with this. Now that balanced are such an sensitive matter i wonder is there any stats/mechanics/thought on how much gold a specific tank uses when they look at balancing it. i mean they argue that tiger p should be balanced base partially on winrate. some tanks like t69/t-54/e100 many lighttanks uses ALOT of gold. i mean if 10-15% of shots generally are with gold some of those tank must use ALOT more. If you look at the winrate or other stats of one tank with generally high usage of gold isn’t it kinda misleading? i mean if the tank used the same amount of gold as other tanks it would have had worse stats in almost all regards
Oh hell yes! I really need a skill-based battle mm! I really HATE 30%’s…
