It is a bit complex, but it has to be in order to account for some of the weird things players do. For instance, stacking tanks, like the time I parked my Comet on top of an AMX 13 90 on Karelia. That made us each lose about 800 HP over the course of about 5 seconds in a *rapid* series of “mini-collisions” before we separated.

So yeah, it’s a little complex, and it had a tendency to behave oddly.

Apparently, Russians are reporting FPS losses in 9.5.
I’m not quite sure if this is strictly FPS issue. I don’t recall exact morning (Wednesday or Thursday), around 6.00, when I woke up and were getting ready to work, I entered the game for a quick check of some things and EU1 was down! After that, there was severely annoying connection problem! Lag light (red light) was constantly blinking and every time it blinks I get a stutter on screen. It looks like a FPS drop but it isn’t. It’s more like a constant attempt to reconnect to the server.

Yes. You can redo every mission to get the secondary objective and the reward that comes with it but you don’t get the main mission reward again if you complete it again.

” some people are angry about the token system, Storm replies that you don’t have to play the arty missions (SS: IF you fulfill all the secondary objectives)”

IMHO playing arty requirement is very good.
At least all the idiots who think playing arty is “point’n’click” adventure will finally understand how frustrating it is to aim 15 seconds, miss and wait 50 seconds for reload.

If nothing else, it will at least teach players how arty actually works and how to counter it. I had big issues with arty untill I unlocked S-51 from KV-2 and started playing it.. Suddenly I realized where arty cannot aim and where is safe to stand in tank…

right now, 90% of crybabies calling me skycancer are jsut sitting on one spot while Im shooting at them and when my 3rd shot hits them they rage… LTP idiots, they should relocate after first shot landed next to them…

Actually you will be able test it, because wg gives you the possibility to give the premium tank back for a full refund in 14 days from purchase without any explanation needed from your side. I purchased the T-34-3 a month or so ago, and that’s what they wrote me.
I wonder if you could do this on a regular basis, making renting prem tanks practically for free.

Theory seems to be that the gun will be better and that will make up for it.

To be fair, lack of penetration is probably the main handicap for t8s in a t10 game – there’s just too much chance of running into something you just can’t feasibly hurt. However, that it reportedly has lower mobility as well as lower armour will probably kill it – the armour is probably all but irrelevant either way, but the Panther and Panther 2 are already slowish for mediums: less mobility means less opportunity to get out of those situations where you find yourself face to face with a T110E3 and relocate to somewhere where you can actually contribute beyond blocking a few shells.

- SerB on “anti-bot” system: “The system takes into account that various things happen in life. You have to go to the toilet urgently, your mom called you to eat or your wife needed to turn your attention to her and not to pixel tanks. So if you don’t go AFK regularily (what does “regularily” mean I will not tell, sorry), then an AFKer can be forgiven.”

Let us not forget the times when, despite having been entirely fine the rest of the playing session, defragging your hard drive regularly, and not having any trouble with your connection, you get a game where you spend five minutes staring at the loading screen, and then when you do finally load it becomes very clear that you’re no longer actually connected to the server but the game hasn’t recognised this so you have to quit and restart the client to have any real hope of getting back in in time to have any effect whatsoever…

…except that Wargaming would dearly love us to forget that there are serious issues with their code. I wish I could.

(I’ve had warnings twice, and both times it was because of this. To add insult to injury, the first time it happened, I did get back in in time to play a decisive role in finishing off the last couple of minutes of the match, and still got the ‘you abandoned your team’ warning…)
