It’s funny to see users trying to find arguments while they go the easy way by telling us something about the weights of logs and junks.

Next, the tanks are mostly identical and we can’t start make historical correct calculations for one tank (premium) only and take it as argument that we are good to go.

I don’t like they use the historical argument only as long as is supports their ideas. But however, they didn’t use it this time, because they know its crap, but users try to argue this way now. Thats funny.

And as far as I know T84 tracks was never in use in the WWII, but was used in the movie.

Everyone knew this was coming when they nerfed the M18. T49 was arguably even more OP than the M18…and the M18 wasn’t really OP. It needed some camo adjustments and they beat the shit out of it regardless.

Expect the same of the T49/T67.

I was passive scouting in my M41, had a good spot and a good view of the area and was lighting stuff up and some asshole in a T54E1 decides I wasn’t scouting and pushed me out of my cover to get 1-shot-ammo-racked by a Waffle.

It’s not just bad scout players that think all scouts are supposed to rush and die, it’s bad players in general. I got 2,200 spotting damage that game but I was “useless” because I wouldn’t rush and die in a huge fucking M41.

So, a Tog like mission?
While I hate the general concept of having to play “at least XX days/month”, the tog was bearable.
If they dont push it too hard with FV4202, it could be fine.
Tog level: kinda okayish,
type 62/kv-220: fook no

Yes.
What WG does is avoid the problem, not fix it.

HB problem was players only wanted to play top tanks (hurp durp imma poooun n00bs with teh tiger) while MM tried to fill in all the slots… it had to fail.

So instead of thinking for a better solution, WG just drop the (cool) concept completly and turn HB into braindead PvE. I’m dissapointed.

Possible solution – beeing assigned a random tank – could be interesting:
1. the teams could be composed in a proper way, depending how WG want to setup each historical battle.
Eg lots of T-34 vs few tigers, as players could not influence, what they drive
2. There would be some kind of cumulation system, where you collect tokens after each battle, and they increse the chance for you to get assigned into top tank.
This way you would be guranteed to drive the top/better tanks, once in a while, BUT not too often, so everybody gets some fun.
3. Players normally get 100% crew for randomly assigned tank.
If they have their own (better) crew for the randomly assigned tank, its beeing used in HB, and gets trained.
This could vary a bit, like picking the best crew from players, as long as the type and nation fits. (so it can use your T54/T62 crew in T34 historical battle). Just an idea.

Nothing like aiming, estimating lead and hitting a full speed T-50 with 75mm L/24 at 400m in WT. :3

T20 doesn’t suck at all, it just needs to be played according to what it is – a soft medium. :-) I desperately wanted ace tanker on that and the thing really learned me a lot – how to crawl and move on the field, give many hits and don’t receive any. :-)

I even though I’d get it back if I didn’t like the Pershing, as I really started having fun with the thing – but I just love Pershing even more, received my ace in about 30 battles. :o)

The square spotting is an exploit an feels wrong.
Overall there is some hope for scouts if circle view + bush nerf + general view range nerf (except for scouts) come together. That combo could reanimate cautious + patient scouting.
