Well its been 2/3 weeks uninstalled and tbh I don't really miss it, aside from being game to pop on and die in 5 mins it seems its got little to give.

Good to see they've buffed and dropped a few things though, although this final comment made by the devs before they locked the official update thread made me laugh:



'We dont need feedback' Should be gaijins catchphrase.

typical of most dev teams to be fair - they do not like criticism!

Finally!!!

Gaijin are bringing back the 8.0 BR rating for top-tier tanks, which will get them out of 6.7 BR matches!

the IS-3 dropping to 7.3 means I might actually drive it out now.

now that has actually got my interest slightly piqued again! though I still have a bit of tiny grind left to finally get it - and it will probably be pants with default ammo and will likely take 6 months of grind to get the better ammo........

As it as bad as it sounds like on the forums?

Just driven the British top tier 4 tanks out, and yep, the APDS round now acts like an MG bullet, it'll punch through the tank, but stop at the first obstacle... be it gearbox, or person etc... no hope of a 1-shot kill on anything. You'd need 4, 5 hits for a kill, but in the meantime an IS-2,3, or 4 just rocks up and blasts you away in a single hit, because of your awful armour.

Once you have parts, it won't be too bad. At least you can look at a tank, shoot, and kill it, unlike its comparable Brit tanks.

Oh well, back to T34 abusing. :p
 
From "Tank Men" - by Robert Kershaw:

So intense were the fumes inside a T-34, according to veteran accounts, that loaders would pass out. Bryukhov, realising his loader was not loading 'fragmentation' on request, would glance down below, where he'd be lying unconscious on the ammo storage, poisoned by the exhaust gases. Few loaders could last out a heavy fight to the end.

In Soviet Russia, tank poisons you? :D

Wonder if Gaijin will implement this 'feature' in stalinium tanks anytime soon eh??
 
The Cent/Caer can still one shot things with APDS, just not very often.

The biggest problem is the new repair costs in arcade, you need to actually have a pretty damned good game and win to actually make a profit with them and thats with a premium account.
 
Ah just great.... more interface changes... when the game is losing players hand over fist.

*facepalm*

I like.... the translucent 'ace of spades' to indicate 'spaded' planes or tanks. I don't like..... everything else! Why move the chat button? WHY? Have they been taking lessons from Microsoft? :D
 
Yeah some of the additions are nice, like having the BR in the icon of the tank now rather than Rank but not convinced of the other tweaks. Oh well its just cosmetic.

So I've been playing my German Ground Forces a lot recently, got a 5.7 lineup I enjoy:
Tiger H1 / Panther D / VK 4501 P it works well. I took them out for a spin and then this happened:

4 kills with the Panther followed by 13 kills with my Tiger!! I have never had a better match than this before, my previous best was only 12 kills in total.
 
Panther D and Tiger are lethal if you get a proper 5.7 match, otherwise they can struggle a bit.

Is the MM fixed now? I've seen a lot of people saying the high tier tanks are a lot better, could be tempted to reinstall if thats true...

you know what'll happen! they'll micro patch as soon as you install and banjax everything again.

you're right though, the Panther D and Tiger are monstrous at their tier.....not so much when matchmaker decides they need to be pitted against IS3's!

Realistic MM in tanks is just as bad, with the added bonus of being bombed as soon as you spawn.

TBH that was what made me uninstall, 6.7 v 6.7 was pretty much always fair, never met anything that I couldn't kill or be killed by, when it was 6.7 v 8.0 its just stupid and that was happening every match.

Bombed as soon as you spawn in realistic?? how, unless it's a respawn and you're very unlucky.
