-> Russian player (and apparently a supertester) the_komp then actually proceeded with dismantling the 0.9.4 supertest files, proving, that the armor indeed was fucked up. You see, apart from the graphic zones in the model, the armor groups are defined in a XML file, so they can be checked (and changed) independently. Someone apparently fucked up the XML files in one supertest iteration.

the_komp is not a supertester, i can garantee it!

The top engine is more powerful than the T-54-1 had IRL most likely.

So why does the WZ-120 feel slower than the T-54 then? I know it has a worse engine…but like you said the weight difference should be much greater affecting mobility.

Everyone in their job has to deal with less inteligent people or people who are completely lost and clueless in some areas. An IT guy may consider a lawyer retarded because he does not know the stuff that IT guy considers basic while a lawyer may consider IT guy retarded for his childlish understanding of law he may have got from reading on the internet.

Do you really want to go on street and be called retarded each time you ask a question someone migh deem retarded? Especially to be shouted at in public?

To the thing with not enough time on their hand – that is completely understandable. But if you dont know an answer, dont give one. And especially dont act all big and insult everyone around. Because it may end up right this way and you may be the one who is wrong.

TL;DR
Public relations is a though job and should be done only by those who can deal with it. Period. If you can take it, dont do it.

I feel like of all the “individual mission” reward tanks this is the one I kind of want the most but I bet the mission is gonna be something stupid like win 5000 games in a week

With an engagement distance of 2 or 3 kilometers, I doubt it was ever hit by the period tanks in question.

Of course, the modern electronic fire control systems are quite capable of it, however, those systems are typically mounted to a gun that has no need of aiming for ‘weakpoints’.

I noticed the T95E2 in your previous post ( http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/10/11/straight-outta-supertest-panther-88-stug-iv-pz-iid-and-t95e2-armor/ ) had the same sort of armor glitches. Were those fixed as well?

These guys (Storm and SerB)? Because they get hundreds of completely, absolutely stupid questions every day. After some time, it can be hard to recognize which question is a good one and which one is stupid (especially for those borderline or dealing with external stuff you can’t check easily). And not always you have the time to go and check all necessary files right away.
