Your saying you shoot at the front of T95s from 400m away? And then your leaving me with the impression that you penn?

Here I was trying to flank in my mediums………

“I am a good shot imo, and I cant penn the front of a T95 with a gold round in my 50m”

I can easily snipe it from 400m in my 50m, or 200 whole moving…

I like your “freemium” term. Don’t know what it means though? There are so many things I want to say here.

I have never had a problem w/ gold ammo. I treat every round coming at me as if its gold. Don’t see the issue really.

Basically, I cant afford to fire gold, its one of the things I cant stand about the Top clans and the gold handouts.

What I have noticed more and more w/ new guys and some older ones is this, Sidescraping. Its a good tactic, but if you setting your tank up to hold a corner and your whole plan hinges on you bouncing everything because you’ve figured that the armor angles are never going to be penned, well, that’s just foolish imo. I shot large caliber HE rounds into Scrapers and it works.

Hint, go for the rear sprocket and the hull.

I also see allotta guys claim to think they know where ALL their damge came from and they don’t. Sure, go ahead and save all your replays, watch them endlessly, prove WG wrong.

WoW, sounds like fun. Kinda like writing tickets all day trying to prove to WG that your right about the game you’ve already payed for.

Again, sounds like fun.

2ndly, I am a good shot imo, and I cant penn the front of a T95 with a gold round in my 50m. Anyone that does is just wasting their rounds and you should be able to waste them. Of course what you prolly mean is, “I got penned by something from the front? and then a Tier Ten killed me”

Hint, their is a little plate that sharp shooters go for on under your mantlet…..Another hint for heavy armor TDs is this, HE to any hatch.

Your a tier 9, your supposed to die to Tier 10s?

i wouldn’t say 90%, majority of shells which intersect hull are being eaten by tracks and WG retarded damage model

i’ve already left before 9.0, game has been shit trailer-park redneck trash for far longer than that tho’.
Also WG doesn’t use doorknobs, they’re too realistic and players will be confused by them, it’s better to use a hanging sheet or tarp

Which is a normal reaction!.
alas only you and maybe 4 others fear a t28/95, T10 TDs just autoaim at your(impenetrable) mantlet and autopen and T10 meds can laser-pinpoint the hatches at the same time they circle you to death

“- the developers are aware of the bug, where MM puts you over and over again on the same map. It’s being fixed.”

Yet more of an indication map selection is NOT random at all.

People have complained for ages about certain tanks and arty getting stuck on maps that exaggerate certain vehicles weaknesses (arty on city maps, tanks with no depression on Himmlesdorf etc) more than would be expected, and WG always said map selection was random and quit crying. Now they admit the map selector is bugged (and I doubt they realize what the admission of that bug implies). At least now when my Type 59 gets stuck on Himmlesdorf every other map I know it’s not in my head.

I agree, the current problem is not too accurate guns, but rather the usage of gold fucking ammo. Beieng able to hit where you aim is important and a basic feature. We dont need more noob protections.

In fact, armor would not be close to useless if they would remove gold ammo. Having high enough pen so people can damage tanks aiming for weakspots is okay, eg. aiming for cupolas or lower plate. How ever load gold and aim at non weakspots is totally bullshit. As long as all tanks use standard ammo, everything is balanced much better.

So this penetration inflation is all due to having gold ammo avalable for credits, and a huge fucking error. Still I find it ironic that they claim some tanks are “impossible” to play without gold ammo, still talking about penentration inflation and the role of armor. Want to make armor more valuable? Then remove gold ammo or make it less common in randoms. I am just affraid they will nerf all pen on standard ammo, making it even harder to pen with standard ammo. And I am thinking about tier 8 tanks which particularly sees tier 9 and 10 more often now days. Sure standard ammo works, but you really got to aim carefull to pen tier 9 and 10. Which is all okay having the current AP pen, but god forbid if they nerf AP pen on tier 8 heavys and mediums just to make armor “more valuable”. All tanks are balanced shooting only standard ammo, thats the thing.
