I'm kinda sad our Russian friends of WG aren't always translating the video's they release. While looking for more info on 8.0, I found this video of 7.5 that I never found a translated version of:

World of aqua-tanks. Come at me bros.
ELC is the best addition in 7.5. I don't care what anyone says about the Stug 100.

  Spoiler:

[Lusulpher]

Oh come on, they are only trying their best to force you to get the T10 one and sell the T9 one, nothing more.

Edit. Oh fuck it with sarcastic one liners. Patton accuracy on the move nerf is .... enormous. And to all "hitting moving targets at 300m"... yes, sometimes. We all know that gun's accuracy is random and that at 400+m you have good chance of mission stationary targets even if fully aimed. And I really love how they increased reload time on E100.


Cant wait for JadgE100, but won't be easy. I guess I'll be having to grind some 150k on JTiger in new MM environment.

WAIT, you ALL knew that?! So I wasn't being bad when I missed tanks parked at 200m... Well I'll be, glad I sold that pos.

I watched a ELC run a 10 kill game in tier 6 while I just looked on and got artied in a SU100. It was spectacular.

[Accipiter]

Currently a bit sad that I sold mine. That fucker is also quite hard to hit due to the low profile.

[halka]

I have no idea how to drive the little bugger, didn't manage to bag a single kill so far (granted, I played a total of 3 or 4 games in it so far).

I'm still in the experimental fail stages. I tend to hang around too long and get owned. Moar hit and run

Yes, you are still bad. Oh so very bad.

[Selb]

I like it, I've earned my first Scout award with it, and I damaged a jagdtiger the other day.

All tanks have random accuracy. There's a normal distribution curve that determines where the shell flies, with the aiming circle covering two standard deviations from the center. It's entirely possible (although highly unlikely) that the shell will actually fly out of the circle. How you've managed to get this far without understanding basic game mechanics is beyond me.

[dzajic]

Imho the problem is with WG's RNG. I think it rounds up to very little decimal places. So bullets will either go to exact center or to the very outer edge of aiming circle, and damage will be a long series of minimal damage hits followed by couple max damage ones, 20 games from now.

Yes its random ,and interpretation is subjective, but when I was grinding M103 and driving T34 for cash... number of exact minimum damage hits (300) was way out of proportion with anything. I really think their RNG is junk, most likely by rounding up very brutishly.

And with Patton having worst net accuracy gun of all old T9 meds (best accuracy on move and all that jazz, but worst overall accuracy) the random distribution curve can be a harsh mistress. Eg. See IS3 at 350m, it doesn't fill the full aiming circle, still you hope. And then round after round flies to very edges of aiming circle and misses IS3. 100 games later you are driving on Steppes and take a potshot at other IS3, at 400m, while you are moving full speed and aiming circle is 10x the are of tank, and you blow up the guy with a fatal ammo rack hit.


Edit. M48 Mah biggest Chaffee ever! (what is this armor you speak of?) With T4 TD before T49 being smallest Chaffee ever (Ofc no Chaffee will ever be as Chaffee as Test 1 Chaffee).

Free-xp-ed the gun. Took me two humiliating failteam defeats to get first win. Tank looks sweet. Turns around axis fast, turret turns fast, aiming is fast, accurate on the move. Could use more gun depression. Max speed is... unsatisfying, but tank still appears agile. Dat DPS.

Now back to Type to grind another 6mill for E50M.

and damage will be a long series of minimal damage hits followed by couple max damage ones, 20 games from now.

Not going to comment on accuracy, since I havent had too much trouble with it. However, what I've noticed now that I've played ~150 battles with Object 268. Minimum damage roll is 638 and maximum is 1063. Without exaggeration the minimum damage rolls to 1k+ rolls is something like 10 to 1; I see a min roll almost in every battle while I get 1k couple of times a day. But yeah, random is random and the 25% +/- is too big for high damage guns.

[Qui Shon]

That's why I'd really like a mod that outputs dmg rolls into a log file, so I could see if the scale really is skewed. I'm not claiming it is, but I'd like to *know*.

[Torashuu]

Might also be part of damage is adsorbed by modules/crew? Should only be 50% of the time but still.

[SteeleResolve]

So I got that tier 10 patton and I am fucking rubbish with it. Just seem to get put with 9 other tier 10s and i get slaughtered. And i have the best gun :/

wotlogger does that or not?

You would have to experiment in a training battle so you can control the variables. Logs from actual games would be inconsistent and generally worthless for statistical purposes.
