“- Issue when player could not send a complaint on an ally with reason “Inaction/Bot” in battle results window fixed.”

So it wasn’t only in mine game, good, I thought it’s some mod’s fault…

I am getting pretty excited for Patch 9.3 to the brink hyped. heh

- Each of values for obtaining Marks of Excellence reduced by 7 points (58% instead of 65% for obtaining one Mark of Excellence, etc.).

Right, This is a right bastard to get in a tank like the ISU-152 or a really popular tank like E-100 but I understand why people who drives some of the easier tanks to earn MoE are upset about this change.

- Tier VIII–X vehicles with transmission in front are no longer set on fire when a shell hits the transmission.

Well it sorta pains me as a Russian tank driver but then again the armor on a Tiger 2 isn’t that good but I am not gonna like shooting at E-100′s Lower Frontal Plate and only do base damage.

- Pz.Sfl.V, Tier VII German tank destroyer, renamed to Sturer Emil.

So it finally got the name most people know it as.

- The KV-85, a new Soviet heavy tank, added to Tier VI to replace KV-1S.

Also known as either KV-100 or KV-122 depending on the gun you use.

What? They reduce the Marks of excellence requirements? WHYYYY???! Now I cant feel special with my T-34-85 and 3 stars on its gun … :(
They will no longer be marks of excellence, but marks of averageness :(

I should have expected the Transmission change. Just moved German medium crew to E50 and all five crew have firefighting at 97%

So what about shots that don’t penetrate the turret ? Are they classed as “tanking”also ? Some of my best bounces come from angling my e-100 turret deliberately to bounce the stuff coming in as do many other players in various tanks , why only reward the hull and not turret ?

and this right here is why I play arty. the rage is hilarious.

granted I don’t like playing it very much, I’d rather spin in my 50B or E5 where I don’t miss 50% of shots.
calling arty players skilless and moronic is just being rude, some arty players including myself are quite good outside of the SPG class.

I think so too. I mean, on test server hardly anyone plays lower tiers, so putting an effort to change ALL tanks just so one or two players could have a go is counter productive.
