Tarski

Just one screen (laptop), was bad on an old GPU driver and about equally bad on the latest driver. Not sure what else to try on my end. 

On my older PC running an old GPU one WoT patch just killed the GPU entirely, as in constant crashes and error messages. Old driver, nope. New driver, nope (nVidia card).

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.)

@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.

Still feels like a grind...

I managed to do it in basically 2 nights after work. Only played one game yesterday to get to level 15, then did the 3 daily missions to get the 75 bonds (they feel like a grind due to the RNG of getting 2k blocking).

Object 705 is fake rear mount it doesn't get a  big maus energy pass, it's literally 5cm short of centre mounted.

Cries in 430 V2

I grinded OG style no boosters for a month to get the 430 II (with the benefit of not needing to research t-54 top gun) in all it's retarded armor glory, only to take a break and be greeted by a turd when I came back.

Try to angle better. :/

Yeah, I sat on my savings for a bit and got lucky. I have 100 million credits' worth of tier X tanks to buy (but fewer than 100 million credits)...

The fuck is that?

We haven't had one of those in ages. 

Yeah, a big surprise. I've gone from nearly 40 million credits to just over 7 million, but bought all the unlocked tier 10s that I've accumulated since then - AMX50B, 60TP, Patton, TVP50/51, T62A, Super Conq, so quite happy.

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. 

Interesting. There will be two categories of statistics displayed in the UI: historical totals and recent performance. The recent performance will reset every few months. For people who want a way of looking at up to date stats, we may be getting better tools. 

TOG has 2k hitpoints. 

"Korean cat" - unhistorical, group: Special, format 1 on 1, direction from right to left, you can flip it though. the price is 110 gold.

I NEED THIS

want isn't the same as need  

I need it in my life

I believe the global rebalance is so called because tanks are going to become a lot more top-heavy once stacking turrets are unlocked. 

yeah they posted that on the forums about noon, 2 hours after the start time... thank god for twitter?

most of the blogs picked it up by 1 pm

no self spotting means you share 50% of the exp with the spotter. 

Yeah, but I felt so safe while doing it!

What kind of tanks you shoot kinda matter too. 

Also tier. 

I was overmatching the rear panel of the roof, the one with the hatches in it. If I hit anywhere on that surface my shell went in every time. 

center of the gun mantlet is 220mm flat too

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

Yeah, it could. Please don’t fuck it up WG.

To bad they got rid of the discounts. :/

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. 

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

1.7 was supposed to also introduce the double barreled tanks, but WG couldn't get them ready in time so they were delayed 

@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.

This whole patch seems to have messed up chat features. Someone was able to message me for the first time in years even though I've turned off messages from strangers. 

Same thing as option to see tank that killed you... I play without that option for like 3years I guess, but in Boringlines its enabled by default.

@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. 

Not on my aging rig. One step closer to not being able to play at all, which wouldn’t be a bad thing...

And I’m not complaining. I don’t expect WG to optimise the game for 6 year old shit rigs.

do i have to assign my christmas girls till then?

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

Compare it to the Chinese 122-44 and you're realise how absurd it is

Heh, yeah. 

https://tanks.gg/compare/su-101?t=wz-120-1-ft~su-130pm

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.

Thanks for the input, all. 

Trade-ins are back? Is it region-specific? I was looking for this on the SEA server news portal

It was back for a few days on NA before they announced it on the portal. I realized it was back in the game client because of the ⟲ icon that appears next to the purchase button for most but not all tech tree premiums. 

6 afk... should be a badge for that.

Had similar luck with 1114. Played as agressively as my t-10. Had 2600 dpg. 50% wr for first 30-40 battles
