I've noticed one thing that World of Tanks and War Thunder seem to have in common.

RUSSIAN BIAS!

Tak · 2013-06-19, 12:32

Not surprising, as they are both... uh... Russian companies.

Even though WarThunder is developed by a company with a Japanese name, Gaijin...

The game feels....weird since the patch hit like they have added some camera bob or something. I'm also sometimes getting a weird jerky movement almost like lag accept with a ping below 40.

That said I like the new sound effects...

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-06-19, 13:06

Turn off the dynamic camera setting?

Drake · 2013-06-19, 13:14

I've tried that already but to no avail so I don't think the jerkiness is related to the camera, its not constant either and just seems to come and go but my ping always seems stable.

Strange, maybe server side ?

Anyway in other news I'm finally starting to clear the red out a bit now.

Tak · 2013-06-19, 13:14

Hmm, reading over the 8.6 patch again... its really making Cold War era MBTs shine. I do not believe this is a pure coincidence...

Sumeragi · 2013-06-19, 13:24

In what way, Tak?

Tak · 2013-06-19, 13:26

Eh, MBTs had always been better damage dealers. The 8.6 nerf of heavy tank pen easily makes me desire more MBTs.

Of course, unless WoT's alleged future patch to rebalance armor makes a difference.

Sumeragi · 2013-06-19, 13:27

Except.... those MBTs use APCR as their standard round, and those have a normalization nerf. It's even worse than the simple penetration nerf of the heavies.

Tak · 2013-06-19, 13:31

Hmm, reading the TLDR patch notes, I know premium HEAT rounds are getting nerfed, but I am not seeing anything about APCR getting a normalization nerf. Unless I missed it.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it... a very small fine print. Well played, WG, well played.

I really like the critical hit/critical damage sound effect, along with seeing the modules you have damaged in the post match screen.

Some of the other sound effects will take a while to get used every time I get hit in the BDR G1B it sounds like the entire thing is about to fall apart.

How lucky of you people. In spanish there's no sound that tells you that you did a critical hit against an enemy tank, so the only clue to get it is to have a commander with eagle eye.

Also... buy the Bison, Grille and Sturmpanzer 2 before the patch. You could get between 70k-100k on credits refund with the tier normalization when the patch goes live. As well better to sell the Priest before the patch because it's get moved to tier 3, and / or buy a M37 cause it get moved to tier 4.

Also, no tanks for me until tomorrow or friday. No money to pay the internet bill right now.

For each or all of them (70k-100k credit refund)?

Bug in EU, hopefully will be fixed by the time 8.6 rolls to NA: Artillery numbers not always even on each team. Hilarious at Tier 10.

Tak · 2013-06-19, 18:01

I been reading reports about MM being excessively drunk on the EU servers. The results are horrible.

I dread the coming of 8.6... I really do. WoT outdid itself this time.

Drake · 2013-06-19, 18:31

The MM really need tightening up, theres only so many matches 2 tiers up that I can take in and its been getting worse lately and I remember me and blaat went nearly an entire evening without getting any same tier matches.

Having matches 2 tiers up occasionally I can deal with but 7 out of 10 matches is a bit excessive.

Sumeragi · 2013-06-19, 18:43

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-06-19, 20:32

Saw another note suggesting that 8.6 will hit NA next Tuesday... it's funny how WG makes me appreciate Valve Time.

But yeah, maybe they'll sort out the Tier 10 arty = Tier 10 heavy in MM in the meantime.

You miss the good old days when tier 6's would see tier 10s all the time

Back then it would be a great matchup if you were "only" 2 tiers down from the highest tier tank :P

Gravitas Free Zone · 2013-06-19, 21:26

My streak of consecutive shots fired with no misses has ended at 65.

The tank that has that record? The T-44 with the LB-1.
