That'll just be the Linux! :p

Seriously though, what GPU and what driver are you running? Got V-Sync enabled?

Did you use Display Driver Uninstaller fully when changing drivers?

V-Sync on and off, including adaptive. GeForce GTX 780, last 4 driver revisions, all the same. Just finding it weird that it started happening recently all of a sudden.

*Edit. Just tested, HESH still garbage, takes 2 hits to kill a PzII, 2 hits for a PzIV and no idea how many for a Panther, i got bored. Could penetrate a King Tiger's side armour at over 1km, but almost no damage.

You're nuts! :eek:

Have you test driven it? The ammo for it is garbage! And it only gets APDS and HESH, and HESH blatantly isn't modelled anywhere close to properly.

Well almost a month later I finally managed to unlock it last night and took it out for a couple of games (I had to GE the spare parts, no chance I'm driving a Brit tank stock!)

First impressions? Its pretty damn good! I've fired HESH exclusively so far and its refreshing being in a Brit tank and being able to 1 shot IS-3's coming from weeks of grinding Sabot firing tanks. I've also bounced a fair amount of shells too which was surprising, having to do a double take after being hit then looking in the bottom left to see 0 module or crew damage takes some getting used to. :D

Oh and finally a tank with an actual reverse speed!!
 
Grinding that at the moment. Quite enjoying my Centurion Mk.3 and Charioteer. The latter is almost perfect, since it sits at BR6.3 it doesn't get into too many stupid games. I still think the Comet is the sweet spot.
 
I was the same mate, I used the BlackPrince and Charioteer to grind the Conq.

BlackPrince is a shadow of its former self, now always facing IS-2's and Tiger2's since the BR increase it gets one-shotted often and since the ammo nerf takes multiple, precise hits to either kill crew or hit ammo. Gone are the days of slowly driving into the thick of it and slogging it out.

Charioteer I ended up enjoying after a shakey start. Love its mobility and gun but the paper armour and no reverse speed means theres no escaping if you don't kill/disable your target with the first shot.

Yeah, if someone is lining up a shot on you, you can only run forwards! ;)

I've not fired WT up in over 3 months - so much so I'm thinking of deleting it.

My thought's on it are currently

Planes - Love this aspect, flying around on either RB or Arcade with keyboard and mouse is a lot of fun and I like the game play. I don't like the size of the grinds or the constant 'With Premium you could have got this...' It makes it inherently difficult I find to move up the ranks.

Tanks - I have no time for at all I'm afraid. Yes it's realistic, and yes it looks pretty. But I find it really annoying. I can't put my finger on why, maybe its the near 40k games in World of Tanks I have that cause's that.

I'm still unsure of keep/delete but I've not been on for that long it's daft
