The latest WoT patch (or one of the latest couple, I wasn't playing regularly) completely nerfed my framerate. Ever since 1.0 I've been able to run the new graphics on highest settings with fps consistently above 90 on my old GPU. Now my framerate swings up and down rapidly between about 130 and about 20, spending most of its time at the lower end. I've tried taking the graphics settings way down and all that does is change the upper end of the FPS range, not the lower end. Turning off all effects and all post processing and using lowest settings on most sliders just means my framerate swings between 240 and 20. Sigh.

Ha! I think the problem may have had something to do with all of the dust bunnies I just extracted from the fans in my laptop. It seems my GPU was thermal throttling due to poor cooling. With the dust out, I'm running almost 40 degrees centigrade cooler and my framerate is more stable. (Sadly I have had lag spikes since the patch went out that weren't there before, but hey, my processors aren't melting.)

Frontlines progress does seem much faster this time around.

@Balthazars, yeah, but the equivalent with 30 levels would be to get to rank 7, whereas you just said before you got to rank 4 in the last FL, so that goes to show how much faster it is right?
LOL, are there fewer levels this time around? Shows how much attention I've been paying...yeah, that makes sense.

So many premium Russian heavies added to the game but none of them in the style of the Obj 705. Where is my Soviet Chrysler?

15% off the credit price of tier X tanks on the NA server for the Valentine's Day weekend. I am pleased.

It looks like HE is no longer going to damage internal modules. I can think of some times I wished that had been true.
Type 5 still has HE and premium HE, and we're back to the only difference being damage since HE no longer has pen values.
IS-4 has 3100 hitpoints, as opposed to 2950 on the IS-7 and 3550 on the Maus.

TOG has 2k hitpoints.

This decal is coming in patch 1.8. Thought you should know. -

Looks like NA gets advance warning about Black Market deals after all. From Discord:
"Times have been changed to 17:55 CT - Rotating on a 12-hour schedule."
From Twitter: "Black Market Update: The start time for Black Market in the NA region has been moved to 3:55pm PT/ 5:55pm CT/ 6:55pm ET, NA players will not be losing out on any of the deals due to the push in time." -
A cautionary tale about Chai sniping: Radley-Walters's medal and 4900 damage yielded 2nd class.

Overmatching Obj 703 II (122) roofs with 105mm guns is pretty fun. Great target for the Mutant.

Only the back part is 30mm. Rest of the roof is 50mm

"Next year, we plan to release at least two new branches of different nations. One of them, most likely, will be a branch of heavy Italian tanks....there is no doubt that the new Italian heavy tanks will have familiar firing mechanics and will continue the tradition of the menacing medium tanks of this nation."
This could be fun. -
Heading into the holiday event, I have 7 tier 10s and 6 tier 9s unlocked but unbought. Looking forward to shrinking that list more easily with the boosted credit earnings.

Yeah, there are some good changes this year and some bad ones. I'll miss the discounts and I'll miss having only 1 decoration set to complete for a full +credit bonus. And tying the vehicle slot bonuses to the class of the vehicle is annoying and seems like an idea that got rushed out the door before they could set up a better mechanic.

Patch 1.7 looks pretty light on content. Now would be a great time for WG to finally buff the WZ-120.

While I'm writing my wishlist, I'm still waiting on the 2019 rebalance of the E-100 and IS-4.

-
@Deus__Ex__Machina yeah I already have 55k exp on Kv3 for that reason and I will have to wait for ages because they had to focus on lootbox prems.

Just got my 11th ever Radley-Walters from a successful 1v3 carry. I rarely pull that off and it was satisfying.

Frontlines messes up communications. I have chat turned off completely, but this setting apparently does not affect Frontlines, so I get to hear all about my racial heritage and cancer prognosis. And in the post-game panel, right-clicking player names does nothing.

@BedakCoa Oh yeah, I noticed that happening to. Speaking of which, since at least as far back as patch 1.3 I also have issues with the death camera in random battles. The camera doesn't jump to the tank that killed me, but it does rotate when I die, which is annoying if I die to an unspotted tank and want to read the incoming hit direction marker.
-
Wow, the patch 1.4 frame rate improvements are real.

@Action I think the correct answer is "no," but I'm not completely certain.

The SU-101 gets the same hit point pool as the SU-130PM and a gun with less alpha, DPM, accuracy, and gun depression. In exchange it gets...some armor that sometimes works? Can't wait for Frontline.

I meant 120 vs 101. There's almost no reason to take the 101 except bloom (which gets cancelled out by shitty accuracy anyway) and the fact it leads up to an OP line.
IMO 130 PM is worse for the game than either tank in the sense that while it farms a lot and wins some, it causes cancer gameplay on par with what the Swedish wedges do, except it's got way more alpha so you end up with games where you do everything right early to mid game and just deleted in 2 seconds when the field clears out.
-
Opinions wanted. I have a Defender to trade in (already have the 252U). Which of the new tanks I could get do you enjoy the most? Scorpion, T-54 mod. 1, STG, FV4202, AMX Cda 105, AMX M4 49, 112, 59-Patton.

Brought out the 5A for the first time. 3 losses to start out. 4th game: 6 allies afk.
