Cancerous, it may be smart for you but it IS against ToS and I'm surprised nobody bothered to report that. I do consider you a friend (and I may say a rather old time one at that by now), but I definitely do not agree with this crap behaviour, I'd rather have someone toxic (like me ) who helps me win a battle rather than someone who is selfish to the point of not even giving a damn about the battle itself and leaves it.

Sometimes having at least 1 shitter on the team is a good thing, more dmg to farm, but if you have a couple of shitters as well as Haswell (who pulls out b4 your finished leaving you hanging lol) on his reduced game timeframe then it's gonna be a crappy battle, but then performing an orsm carry is a good feeling,  against TOS? that's for lawyers to decide not me, and what are the chances of getting on the same team as Has?   maybe a requirement to the missions should be surviving? but it isn't,  so i think it's a case of Blame the game not the player,   

So seeing as i got a grand total of 64 parts, I'm guessing i would need to buy the 50 crate pack to get enough parts, that's $142.44 Aussie dollars, and even then i doubt i would get what i needed, would get a heap of rental shit i don't want or need thou, pity as i really enjoyed this tank, but have the feeling that buying 50 crates would give me the same result as throwing $142 out the window of a moving car, 

Yeah nah not going to happen, fuck you mail ru,

It's really astonishing to see the amount of pissed people in the Discord wo tought they would get a T9 tank just by playing some matches in half-dead mode. The intention of this was obvious from the start and we all know that My.com would not just throw away T9 tanks for the fun of it. We all know how lootboxes work by now, so in the end everyone has to decide for themselves if it's worth it to play the game everyday or not to get those boxes.

Very entertaining to see such people whining these days because they don't have the slightest clue about how such stuff works.  I'm happy with my BVP and the time I saved by not doing the rest 

I'm quite sure that this will work out just fine for them because loads of people will buy the remaining crates (even if they feel fooled now for whatever reason), I mean the lootbox stuff seems to work fine for them in general. 

Maybe you could call that a questionable move but this was incredibly obvious from the start of this event...

Depends on ones interpretation  of "fairly decent chance" i  suppose , as someone who runs a fairly successful business ( my definition of fairly successful not AW's thankfully )  , i understand "how such stuff works"  , i also understated that pissing off a large percentage of your customers, for a short term cash  grab, is not a smart business plan long term,  and good will goes a hell of a long way to making nice profits,  lets see how this plays out, if peeps can buy parts outright, to complete the tank, that's seem fair to me, but i guess it will be casino crates,

You may also want to consider that this covid crap has people a bit more touchy and on edge ,than they normally would be, my city  has been locked down for the last 200 days, people are over it and getting pissed off by stuff, that normally wouldn't worry them, but i'm happy we are keeping you entertained,

Well, the marketing intention behind this event is obvious. You do have a chance to get the vehicle from it or you can wait and then buy the remaining crates for money when they are available to get the vehicle. Not exactly the most subtle or cunning plan.

So drop $50 or more on a slim chance to get enough parts? I'm sure some people will, and when they have spent money and still don't have enough parts, the backlash will be massive,

64 parts and 9 special crates , is what I finished with ,  whooptyfuckingdo 

Tried a heap of both lot's just now, none worked, 

Seems decent, well worth playing the missions to get it, std turret is a  good balance , twin 30's is easy to run out of ammo , Dpm slightly less than the Yorky, but much more mobile, i prolly won't play with this set up thou, because as with the York,  i feel bad going into T5 and just mowing the enemy down , must be a bit disheartening for newer players, missile boat setup not bad either, all round a solid lil tank at T5, One weird thing i did notice, when running the 6 x missile setup, if you tick the the best available ammo box, the better of the 2 missiles is greyed out, 

Being from Australia, I don't have a dog in EU/Rus/NA fight,  i think if you looked at bad players per capita by region, it would be fairly even,Ruskys stand out because of Cyrillic names, and the shear number of them playing ,crapola  player Bigdik69 (made up name) could be from anywhere, so his country doesn't get brought into it,   peeps need to remember if it wasn't for the Rusky population, we prolly wouldn't have a game to play,

There's 11 weekend days, if I worked that out right, so weekdays only won't get the 30 days either.

Timezones make my brain hurt, but I think

It's 12 mid-day, tomorrow 13th, GMT+1 Zone, ends Sunday 18th 20:00 (8 in the evening) GMT+1 Zone

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take the guess work out of it matey, change it to your time zone and away you go,  https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/cest-to-aest-converter

 it handles well, accelerates ok, high top speed and quick reload, good armour for AFV and a good view range, but dpm is crap, takes forever to kill anything,  it's not a bad tank but it isn't anything special either, can be fun and can also be frustrating, 

Dumb shit post by me, sorry guys

do i really need to add my opinion on this? im pretty sure we all share the same point of view here. jesus christ if you cant see the problems on the new balance, it means you are not a good player, but its obvious at this point

 

Tell me your stats  and i will tell you if he is better than you or not, 

Some great in depth post's on the PTS changes, thanks peeps 

So i downloaded the PTS, only to relies it's only open 1am-5am in my time zone (GMT+10)

Zemosu, this isn't anything directed at you, but it is directed at the comment itself.

My running mate summed up how to unlock the abilities of the Type 10 a few weeks ago confirming the training he got from me on it.  The ability of this tank is buried in the little details.

If you can not interface with it, if you can not sort out the little details, you and the Type 10 will not jive together and you will not do well in it at all.  I love the PL01 but trust me, the PL01 doesn't hold a candle to the Type 10.

2nd time i have seen your riddle about the Type 10, if you don't want to tell people your "little secret" , then why even mention it? personally i like the Type 10 and think it's good tank, 

I have only played 10 Glops matches in 5 years for a 40% win rate, will try and play some more to see if i even out my winrate,  

Edit, if i can get battles, GMT + 10 isn't the best time zone for Euro games, 

Yeah its a road to nowhere, only way to get the T9 Lec is by going thru the VCAC milk truck, i honestly thought i'd never make it, but ended up really enjoying the VCAC, it is a long grind thou, but worth it, 

It's a monster at T6,  hadn't played it for a very long time, 

Que Sera Sera!

Amongst others:

• Random jerking into zoomed-in mode, glops and pve.
• Vehicles randomly jerking their own steering, resulted in 2 crashes in my VCAC in 1 match, both resulted in me being jammed on an obstacle, shot & killed.
• Viewpoint randomly jerking to the side 45 deg, and then sometimes back again, so you can't tell where you are going.
• VCAC missiles ploughing into the ground 30m in front of tank
• Rubberbanding when driving, even when dead, and watching from over some other player's tank, it's giving me a frigging headache.

 

Tips to replicate:
Play glops, crash repeatedly, attempt to not bayonet the screen with the keyboard in frustration.

Edit: this lot has happened since the most recent update.

Last few days when driving the milk truck (VCAC) ,  I have noticed, the 1st missile fired after reload seems to vanish, I'm in sniper mode zoomed in, so i can't see where it goes, 

, but I'm guessing it doing what you describe, 

Won't this BH pref mm, make already long que times in PVP longer? =seems a shit move and a bit PTW

Camo and avatar stuff= meh seems a waste of time, but isn't negative to the game 

No fuel fires= pure bullshit, dumbing down the game, for people who couldn't be bothered or are to stupid to learn their tanks.

I dropped the LABS tags Haswell, I sometimes tell people in game what i really think, and didn't want that reflecting on you and LABS, o7

@Travlla you are too kind

No-one else cares . .

I think i can just buy the LEO now, and then the Leclerc when i get there

Solid choice in the Leo my man I have 269,000 xp to grind before the i can get the Lec, i have 330,000 free xp i could use, but would rather use that unlocking modules when i get the lec,

as I don't enjoy stock tanks,

Everytime i take an arty in pve, i go shotgun and usually do pretty well compared to the rest of the team. 

Its more about the players than the vehicle.

It pains me more to see players bringing terminators, t15s, marders and see them in the bottom list of damage done. 

Mate you are one of the rare ones then, respect to you sir ,  i have rarely  seen arty do well shotgunning in PVE,  I did see a great shotgunner in the 4th chapter of spec ops thou ,he kicked ass, maybe it was you?  most arty in that chapter dies in the 1st 3 mins and doesn't respawn, just trying to get their 20 battles so they can get the vehicle's in the far east medal,
