Is there any reason to get the Object 430 when I have the T-10? They both have the same top speed and I am comfortable with the acceleration of the T-10. The Object 430 has 300 more DPM than the T-10 with better soft stats and I can see that being as useful in those situations as the 440 damage the T-10 deals but what else is there besides that detail? I hope I'm overlooking something since I am almost done with my T44 grind. Camo and sub 300 apcr pen in corridor meta with type heavies lol

I would say the SP 1 C is a solid and fun hidden gem. I don't think there are a lot of rear turreted light tanks with -10 gun depression and 90mm alpha damage. It's a whole different experience when you mostly reverse into position to ridge snipe someone for 220 damage and "reverse forward" 0 - 60 in a split second. It's very good at playing ridges without being punished because of that. Playing this tank is really fun also because I always have a valid reason to do easy 180's with the handbrake mechanic. Those weighty drifts never stop being satisfying. It's one of my favorite tanks right now and it's easy to play, shell velocity aside.

Feel free to add me if you're still playing. I can play anything up to 9's.

Woo, feels good to be back on the saddle. I find it thoughtful that WG would go to the efforts to acknowledge long time players with a warming description and a free tank that I'll actually play.

Hi, Wotlabs! What's the Tl;Dp for the World of Tanks metagame now? Are players better at the game on average now than they were 2 years ago? What kind of premium tanks are a threat now that I should at least be aware of? Lastly, do any of you guys play Wargame: Red Dragon? Many thanks!

overall skill is probably a little bit higher than a few years ago.
but the overall gameplay is a hell of a lot easier and more idiot proof. and a hell of a lot more unbalanced tanks. because giving everything unpenetrable armour is a trend over the last like year and a half

Playing World of Tanks once more, I noticed that a significant amount of the battles I participated in amounted to steamrolls as many of you might note on a personal scale. Not only that but action is quick to ensue whether it's getting right into the thick of it in my HT's or dawdling around the map, trying to score long range shots. Making positional or aggression-based mistakes (likely) entails a really quick death no matter the tier that is being played whether it's a tier 2 pace car or tier 10 E5 out in a field for a few seconds. What exactly defines WoT as X-pace?. Would it be the aforementioned description above or is it something else on a technical scale perhaps? If it is X-paced then would you say that the characteristics of X-paced WoT are more negative than positive or vice versa? What is your ideal WoT in terms of pacing? Which X-paced version of WoT would best? Or would it be possible to satiate both fast & slow? Which X-paced version of WoT would offer the most room for development of in-game features? (rather than interface features (AKA: WoT's "promise" of "fixing?" the game) This is thread is more than inquiry but rather a thread of discussion on the subject of pacing. I imagine the ideas exchanged here will enlighten newbies about what WoT is at a gameplay scale and allow veterans to learn tidbits of the game that is oh so loved <3. Have at it and thank you for the replies ahead of time ^_^ -

Why I play without XVM - and maybe you should too
Casas5591 replied to KenyanWarlord's topic in Metagame Discussion
I believe you should take your own advice and try to see things under different lens. Your counterargument to the points Rexxie brought was "I have morals and you don't, therefore...". What this shows more is that what people value is subjective especially so with the importance of morals and standard of one's morals. Is being morally correct the "right" answer? What is "right" exactly given we all coalesce in unequal hyperreality via competitive gaming arena? Why wouldn't your argument apply to people with better PC's, people who have time to learn, OP tanks. This game is innately unfair. With that being said, this is a bit of a untenable ordeal. I don't value meek good/strong bad. I value strong good/meek bad. It's my opinion and everyone has one that varies. Which one is the most right while recognizing better the actualities of the game being : everything is unfair and not all people cannot be prevented from using XVM. I also value better players as the meek's meekness seems to be their own fault as no social factor or exclusion of information by the elite is present or pay-4-XVM. In that sense, the game offers a fair base to grow as a player. -

I think the E4 will get powersurged once they finally implement the bee mechanics for the big ass beekeeper hive at the rear of the tank.

How long does it take until WG starts giving "baby come back" gifts for absentee players? Is it still even a thing, nowadays?

Exactly How Much Armor Does the Super Pershing Have?
Casas5591 replied to M4A3E8sherman's topic in Metagame Discussion
About 160mm? effective armor @ turret cheeks considering most people here aim for the weakest point just to be a smart ass about it. Nevertheless, knowing the LFP/UFP cumulative armor values @ angles would be useful to know if one has no choice but to 2 key quick shot SP's to reach victory. -
In some regards, yes. For starters, the PZ 1 C has mobility on par with the RU 251. The slight differences seems only to be km/s/s and the turning radius at max speed. The gun handling is really good for the PZ 1 C. The dispersion on the move seems better than average and the final accuracy and quick aim time make it abnormally comfortable for it's tier. This general characteristic of course applies to traditional T7/T8 LT's. The scaling of firepower tier-for-tier is the last consideration. Typically, T8 LT's get suited with highly-capable 90mm's which have a stronger penetrative power and higher inflated DPM values. Is it safe to assume T8's LT's are the most potent in dealing damage in their tier class?This triumphs 105mm's derps, 57mm's, 76mm's of China, and even 85mm's given the gun depression is a indivisible hindrance. The PZ 1 C gun is exempt because of peculiar conditions: +2mm, prevalence of paper vehicles at T3 - T5, 320 dmg clip potential every 5 seconds which bears semblance to the RU 240 per 5 seconds. This means the PZ 1 C can carry it's group as well as a T8, perhaps? I like to ask what defines sniping? Is it range specific or can it be specific to the maximum gun range of your vehicle. Or can adhere to a playstyle which involves not getting hit whilst being the hardest target to successfully damage. I think I've sniped in my PZ 1 C before within 300m just trying to deal risk free damage from a reasonably safe location. Same with my SP 1 C albeit with greater distances involved. Thank you for prompting the matter

Okay, time to have a go at stirring the pot. - Arty can easily be countered with positional skill and makes the game more fun. - Taking a 500+ dmg hit in a HT by arty is a trivial matter at best since my class is meant to tank dmg and armor can substitute HP. - Any unicum/blue who thinks E-75 > ST-1 is someone who lacks the ability to come to comprehensive conclusions by themselves in some matters. - Matilda IV is the best tier 5 preferential tank in-game. Same Matilda MM with 2x HP/Alpha. - Tiger (P) is 95% on par with the Tiger I but requires much less effort to reach the maximum skill ceiling. 8.8cm don't do as much excess damage as Gehtake mentioned like 2 320 DMG shots at a 440 HP target. - SP 1 C is a sorely underated and underappreciated powercreep tank. SP 1 C > AMX 13 90 and it offers a very unique playstyle. - PZ 1 C play resembles high tier light tanks with the exception than scouting is actually viable. - This game is actually pretty easy and stress-free when I reached purple. I kinda got bored of it and the community's toxicity left a bad taste in my mouth so to say. - This game hasn't changed much these last 2 years.

Just as a general question, what kind of guide/review/thought process threads would WoTLabbers like to see in the future that has yet to be covered in much depth?

I think my personal preference put higher priority more on content rather than formatting. Most of the stuff I've read seems to be similar in structure and I had various reflections about those pieces. What catches my attention is the title; there also lie self made generalizations. Do I own that tank? Is that tank relevant to WoT in a way that understanding it will help me? What will this discuss that I do not know?
Everyone knows the CGC is trash for very apparent reasons. People thus care very little about how to use it or outplay it. More the same with wiki info. I believe to break this content rut, content creators need to infuse their subjectivity whatever that might mean. A intellectual lesson or supplementary information on their limitations/fortes in certain tanks, regardless of their skill, or anything else.
It's like Gas Stations. Patrons come for the gas and stay a bit longer for slot games, lotto cards snacks, sunglasses, whatever. The existence of these stations are dependant on supplementary material otherwise their would be traffic beyond essential needs or in other words, this site because WoT Wiki: Forum Edition/WoTBook

Seems like something worth bothering the higher ups abou
maybe its something they have already gone over but I would certainly feel like this would be helpful if I was reading something specific to learn up on

I'm sure they're aware of the matter. The best thing they or some well established figure can do IMO is bring awareness to this period. It's okay to concide defeat, especially if you put a optimistic lens and think out what could win the next battle.
I don't think there's much left from the previous generation of content producers both physically and mentally. Talent relies on passion with no absolute substitute. Even great artist get tired of their profession and a pessimistic doesn't help. Why that is, well I like to say that WoT has letdown a lot of people but I might be saying that just out of disappointment rather than rationality. I think it's up to the next wave of newcomers for WoTLabs to fill that void considering the old are not getting younger. Repeat what others have done as a responsibility consented with passion for WoT and do be afraid to write something, anything with semblance to deep content.
